Janet Jackson-Discipline, Rosemary Clooney-Rosie Solves the Swinging Riddle, The Temptations-Cloud Nine

Well Lucy threw up in the middle of the night last night and I am sick too, but I am heading into work shortly (it is almost 11). We saw Horton Hears a Who yesterday. I thought it was pretty good, but it not as good as the book. Kids movies these days seem to be either mediocre to bad (Cars, Baby Geniuses) or Great (Nemo, Ratatoile) of course as I say this I think Horton kind of breaks that mold, better than the lower tier, but not as good as the upper tier. So what is the point? I don't know. Also Sarah and I watched Paranoid Park, the new Gus Van Sant movie. That movie was pretty darn good. A nice mix of a art movie with a plot. Probably because it was based on a teen novel it was pretty plot driven driven, but Van Sant turns it up several notches with a very dreamy removed quality.
Janet Jackson should probably retire. Not that the album is THAT bad, but it sure wasn't that good. I guess lots of people are buying it so what do I know. Rosemary Clooney is great, I saw her in concert a few years back and really enjoyed it. Listening to a full album was a pleasure. BTW did you know she dated Nelson Riddle? This Temptations album was also very good, but not quite the revelation I was hoping for. So of course they all get 7.5 out of 13, 9 and 9.5.
