I just got home from seeing Pirates of the Caribbean. Shiver me timbers, what a wonderful swashbuckling adventure! The movie was fast-paced with great action, funny pirates, and most of all, Johnny Depp, who was hilarious in this role!

Surprisingly enough, this pirate movie was rated PG-13 and not "ARRRR". Even that rating is a stretch, because the movie really was quite family friendly, in my opinion. I highly recommend it, even to all you respectable land-lubbers out there.

On a slightly related topic, I sewed. That's right--needle, thread, the works. You see, earlier this year two buttons fell off of one of my favorite shirts. In the past, when a button went missing, I simply gave the shirt away, because to my mind, the shirt was damaged beyond hope of repair! But I could not part with this shirt, so I searched desperately for a solution. Saddened to see me in such a pitiful state, my mom came forth with the answer: "Sew new buttons on, silly!"

Sew I did.

And particularly well, I might add. In fact, I think I might even open a little shop to bring in a little extra cash. I already thought up a name, too: Sew What.
