Adding to my list of stuff I’ve watched:
Notorious C.H.O – Hilarious, edgy, educational, right on!
April’s Shower – Great comedy – Fear of rejection really does a number on people, doesn’t it?
Proof – Very interesting movie – I thought all the actors were well cast.
I have been inspired.
What a great movie! I love Julie Andrews to begin with – but add in Robert Preston, James Garner, Alex Karras (who played Webster's father on the show "Webster"), and Lesley Ann Warren! WOW! It's a really long movie, but definitely worth seeing once, maybe even more!
Can you guess what I’ve been doing today?
Catching up on some tv, and trying to finish this Fibonacci Number based scarf for someone. I got the idea from the DIY show “Knitty Gritty.” I enjoy the knitting and it is going faster than I thought. I’ve only messed up once, by dropping a stitch.
I caught up on The Class, Dresden Files (yay Vampires!), Gilmore Girls, and last night I watched two movies: The Reception and Almost Normal. I need to finish Firefly so I can send the discs back to Netflix. I think I’m done with the series after that. I have enjoyed watching it, but I’m not a die hard fan.
Recently, I also caught these films that I enjoyed quite a bit:
The Devil Wears Prada, Adam and Steve, A Dirty Shame, My Super Ex-Girlfriend (YAY Eddie Izzard!), A Home at the End of the World, and Little Miss Sunshine (which was as amazing as everyone said it would be).
I need to read some of Nickel and Dimed tonight.
Post sun going down headache is starting! AAAAAAH!
Happy Valentine's Day! Today has been such a weird day. All of the snow here, not knowing if school was cancelled, appointments being cancelled, slight hangover from drinking Fish Wine last night… It's a good day though. I think I shall get some tylenol and wait for it to kick in and then start in on some homework.
I worked on updating my books and music on here, and I put a link from my Livejournal to here. I knocked off some things from 43things.com and I have some things to do. I challenged myself to actually USE my bread maker. And get off my ass and clean some things. To much of my time is spent thinking of what to do instead of doing!
Anyway, with that being said, i shall now go accomplish something. Adios!
I am watching Dead Like Me for the second time now. I really dig this show. Wish it went on longer.
I’m also watching Six Feet Under. Also quite excellent. Nate always surprises me as a character. I have no idea why. I just expect him to be ultra cynical. I think Michael takes the cake on that one. Claire is cynical and edgy but also quite independent and compassionate. Nate … he’s responsible, but I expect him not to be. He’s caring, when I expect him to fumble. I fully thought I would adore Claire the most in this show, but by leaps and bounds, Nate is my favorite character.
And finally we’re getting to Firefly. I had already seen the first few episodes. It’s a very interesting concept. I think I’m torn between Simon and Kaylee as a favorite character. Everyone is fascinating, and has lots of mystery and intrigue. Great actor choices.
While I’m at it, I should mention I’m on the last season of Farscape. I went fast and furious at first, and then I needed a LONG break. I’m getting them from Netflix, and an unfortunate thing happened. One disc went missing or got broken. So, I didn’t see 3 episodes. I think it was Season 3 episodes 7-9. VERY VITAL EPISODES!!!!. SPOILERS TO FOLLOW – I didn’t know there were two Johns, or that they went separate ways. I was VERY confused to say the least as I just kept going with the next discs. They finally got a new disc, so I’ve caught up now. But, dang. That really f*cked up the storyline for me for a while.
I have several journals. I haven't figured out the usage for them all, but at least I have them available!

Ok so Edward Albert died apparently last Friday of lung cancer. This really bums me out. He was only 55 years old. He was a beautiful man, who I think was a brilliant actor. He is in one of my favorite movies of all time, "Butterflies are Free" with Goldie Hawn. It is a really cute story about learning to be independent. I only recently figured out he also was the evil Dr. Bennett Devlin on Port Charles. I loved to hate that character. I watched Port Charles during my "Soap Opera" watching days. I fear those are over now. My most beloved characters were on Port Charles actually.
Anyway, apparently he was also an environmental activist, which is pretty cool, and I didn't know that. So, I mourn today for him.
