Welcome!
Hi. *waving* Welcome to my blog.
I'm here on Story Sundays,
Thousand Word Tuesdays
and Random Thoughts Thursday.
Occasionally, I'll pop in
for Movie Mondays.
Thanks for stopping by.
Feel free to say hi.
Me, me, me, me
Feeling:
Listening to:
Pat Benetar's greatest hits CD
Reading:
textbooks
Watching:
Gilmore Girls reruns
Law & Order reruns
Jeopardy!
Currently addicted to:
Wiscahnsin shap cheddah
Movie Mania!
Featuring the TLJ-
Roger Ebert 4-star system.
Usually, Rog and I agree. Usually.
The Dark Knight
TLJ: 3.5 stars
Ebert: 4 stars
I agree, it's an "engrossing tragedy." A great film that makes you think.
I Love You, Man
TLJ: 3 stars
Ebert: 3.5 stars
I liked it, too, Rog, but not as much as you. Yes, you're right -- Jason Segel is my new favorite guy though I do still love my Paul Rudd, too. I laughed enough that I was happy I rented it. Corny, silly, but smart in places, too.
Ballerina
TLJ: 2.5 stars
Ebert: No review online
This movie followed the ballerinas of the Russian Kirov and other ballets from youth to company. I liked learning how much the dancers sacrificed, how perfectionistic they are (even more than they're teachers and choreographers), and how dedicated, but what was missing? Dancing! They kept teasing me with brief pieces from various ballets. I wanted to see more of the payoff of their hard work.

No, but I'm only on my first cup of coffee before I see my Naturopathic Doctor this morning. So, I'll cut myself some slack. A nice photo Tara! :)
Wait, I don't see a bird!! Where?? Wahhhh!!!!
Wish we had those colors down here. One of my fondest memories of fall was when I had to drive from Boston to Albany a few times when I was a corporate weenie. If only I had stopped to take some pictures.
It's a Catholic school thing. The one leaf looks a lot like the dove on our Confirmation booklets. Don't worry if ya can't see it. :-)
And Fred, I couldn't live without Autumn and its colors. *sigh*
I thought I saw it, but then I was like hmmm, maybe not, then I read the "catholic school thing" and yes... I do recognize it now!
I love fall too :)
I'm so glad I'm not the only one, Jen! Thanks for the comment. Fall rocks! :-)
