Plans

Things I am looking forward to this weekend:

Eating Indian food while watching The Darjeeling Limited with my roommate.

The Spokane Symphony on Saturday! At the gorgeous Fox Theater!

Game night on Sunday: Aggravation and Harry Potter Scene-It.

The ultimate sister date to see The Other Boleyn Girl - perhaps not the most obvious sister date, since it's really about their rivalry, but Becky and I both love the novel. Also, we're kind of expecting the movie to butcher it, but hopefully it's still a good film.

Reading my favorite book if I have time (and or playing piano if I have time - I'm trying to learn Debussy's "Clair de lune" and the recent Pride and Prejudice soundtrack).

Having a better weekend than I've had in a while.

Words are Flowing Out Like Endless Rain into a Paper Cup

So, I like buying movies on impulse. It's especially thrilling if I haven't seen them, but have a pretty good idea that I'll like them. Fortunately, this is often the case, and is the reason that I own Garden State, Run Lola Run, The Last of the Mohicans, and now Across the Universe.

Now, I had a good feeling that I would like this movie: I'm a sucker for musicals (especially over-the-top flashy ones, a la Moulin Rouge), and I love the Beatles (although I'll be the first to admit that I'm mostly familiar with their earlier music, so I don't know all the songs or catch all the allusions). I had wanted to see it while it was still in theaters, but somehow it never ended up happening.

Flash forward to this last weekend. The scene: I am in Target and somehow this DVD ends up in my basket. ??? Oops. Now I've watched about half of it with my roommate, and I have not been disappointed.

My favorite scene (song?) so far was "I've Just Seen a Face," which makes me wish that you could actually behave that way in a bowling alley. Anyway, I think I'll be watching the rest of it tonight, so hopefully that ends up happening!

Lucky You

I'm not sure if anyone ever checks this blog anymore. If you have been, you've probably noticed that I've been neglecting this blog and my new blog that I introduced in the previous post. What can I say, I've been unmotivated or something.

Well, consider me motivated now. In fact, I'll try to make regular postings on both blogs. Take that, laziness!

Here's to the future, and unicorns.
