Two Computers, Twenty Pencils and a Bottle of Whiskey...

I just found a new movie to love. "The Girl in the Cafe" follows the shy, awkward, funny love story of Gena (Kelly MacDonald) and Lawrence (Bill Nighy). They meet in a cafe and spend their first mini holiday at the G8 summit. It is a very intriguing film that looks at how one person can have a major influence in political decisions. There are a few factual mistakes, but the film is so good I really didn't care. Here is a music video someone made on youtube:

I encourage to check out the whole movie which can also be found on youtube.

Oh! I found my Christmas dress!

Tell me it's not true

OMG!

Did you see this?

I think it is a good reason to grab a flight to London right now! We will be guaranteed a good laugh and have an awesome time!

"I can't put my arms down!"

I was prepared for snow. In fact, I was kind of looking forward to it. I love how fresh snow blankets the ground making the world look fresh and hopeful, but no snow here. I hate weather men. They always lie to me!

My apartment is feeling Christmasy:

It's a tiny tree, but happy!!!

Look what I made for my friend Sophie who just had a baby girl:

I was feeling crafty. I hope she likes it!

Check this out!

My mail is being held hostage in the front office again! Why is nobody in the office when I want them to be?

Small Problem

The internet in my apartment isn't working.

So I am forced out to cafes and restaurants with free wifi.

Not entirely a bad thing, but expensive, and it forces me to socialize.

I feel like the universe is trying to reverse my hermit like tendencies.

Oh, and just because it makes me happy:

Just a couple things...

Why is the red line always packed at 11:30pm on Monday nights? It is weird. What are all those people doing on the train at that time?

Why do random people on the train ask me who my historical boyfriend is? I guess it's a good question, one worth thinking about. I have no idea who to choose! Who's your choice?

Why do the cab drivers honk and wave at me? A serious, friendly wave! I am afraid I stared stupidly at the cab thinking "What is wrong with him? I don't know any cab drivers!

Marching in Time

Today is my mom's Birthday. Happy Birthday mom!!!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Tonight I have to work, hopefully it will be calm and quiet. I really prefer to work when it isn't too busy, because when it is busy the crazies tend to come out. Seriously, the crazy people show up from nowhere. I am beginning to think that a psychology degree should be required for all retail employees. That way they can know how to deal with the nuts that are out to shop.

Oh, and the happy news, I will be in MI this weekend! Hurrah! for three day weekends!

One Reel at a Time

Since the last time I posted I have watched the following movies:




Sunshine Cleaning was amusing and good, but not what I thought it would be. In fact I was a little disappointed in it.

New York, New York was terrible. I was really excited for it after reading about it and adding it to my Netflix list but they didn't talk about the abusive relationship between the two leads. I am sorry, I just can't get into films that glamorize bad relationships.

My favorite of the three was the Blindside. It was so good. I can't believe it's a true story. Sandra Bullock was great in the film.

My mom and Aunt came for a visit for the weekend. It was fun. We shopped. I feel like I live in malls and shopping centers, oh wait, I kind of do...
