I went to the Macy's parade site to choose a balloon for today's journal entry. Saw they now have a Blue Sky Gallery where each year an artist is asked to design a balloon for the parade. This year the featured artist is Tim Burton with his B balloon. I like Tim Burton's quirky style and skewed view of the world. B is "a boy obsessed with flying and has the scars to prove it." That made me laugh.
I'm sitting with my cup of tea waiting for the parade, waiting for the B Boy balloon. I'm wondering where are the balloons? the bands? the floats? In between a gazillion commercials are inane commentary from parade hosts and snippets from Broadway musicals (I'm not a fan of muscials). Guess I haven't missed much of the parade these past 10 years as there's little parade. I'm thankful for the mute button.
Do you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving parade?
We do watch it but it's not as good as it used to be IMHO. I agree with you, all the musicals, meh. But I still like it when Santa finally shows up! (Although it has lost some of it's impact since the boys have grown up. LOL)
ReplyDeleteNope-- I hate quirky inane scripted 'banter'. It was much better when it was unscripted. Thanksgiving morning always finds me at a high school football game.
