What An African Woman Thinks

  Someday I'm probably going to regret admitting this but, it is what it is. Sigh.
  
  I went to watch Mama Mia with the girlfriends the other night. Easily the cheesiest film I've watched recently. Seriously, the plot is so thin you'll have to exercise some ultra faith to believe it even exists.
  
  Still, there's something to be envied about reaching that point in your career when you're confident enough to throw your considerable talent at a script like this with just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek-ness. Bravo Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan. You've earned the right to be frivolous and you get no grief from me about this particular, um, adventure?
  
  And, in the end, it was impossible to resist the ABBA nostalgia. I'm now the sheepish owner of the Mama Mia soundtrack.
  
  I know. It can hardly get cheesier than that.It's my window, but I don't own the view.
