I first watched Back to the Future when I was about 8 and my family was staying at the Time Share we had in Taupo. I shared a room with my sister and we had a TV in our room. So, we went to bed and watched TV.
The Time Share had it's own channel, and the people who ran the place would hire some videos and play them back to back on this channel for about a week. (This is how I have seen the second half of Willow about a hundred times and the first half about three.) So, Back to the Future was on, and I didn't know anything about it except that I liked Michael J Fox. I'd had a huge crush on him since Family Ties. So my sister and I watched it together and really enjoyed it, and then when it got to the end it said "to be continued..." and I got really upset. I don't think I'd ever seen a movie before that wasn't an entire movie.
I've seen lots now, or course. It's kind of the trend right now in fact. What with Lord of the Rings and Kill Bill. 8 year old me couldn't really cope with it though. I had been cheated out of resloution. Of course, I didn't lose any sleep over it or anything.
Costume making is frustrating. Big thanks to Margie for lending me her sewing machine after mine stopped. I hate trying to make things fit me, and I hate when hems don't work.
Dress-making sucks, unless it works fine, and then it's wonderful. *sigh*.
