My break itinerary

Thanksgiving break! Woot woot! Some people see this break as an opportunity to spend time with loved ones, relax, and eat.

Not I, however.

No no no, this is an opportunity to catch up on my movie-watching. My goal for this year is 200. I don't know if I'll make it. I've seen somewhere in the neighborhood of 165. That's 35ish to go. And I have 42 days. It could happen. Maybe.

Yesterday I rewatched Far From Heaven. DAMN that movie is depressing. But I love the art direction and costumes. It was almost painfully 1950s.
I also recently watched Chasing Amy. As far as Kevin Smith goes, it wasn't as gross as I anticipated. It was actually really sweet.
Speaking of sweet I saw Tsotsi too. I haven't finished it though, I have about 10 minutes left.

So yes. Good times. Next on my agenda is In July, a German film.

It's "the other woman" syndrome

Oh, my dear, dear, sweet blog. Have you missed me? Please don't be angry, it's just that I've been too preoccupied with high school and dancing and sleeping to write about movies. A sad state of affairs, I know.

Actually I have a dirty little secret. I haven't been watching movies that much, this is true, but I have a new interest.

It's called swing dancing.

Not that anything could replace the rush of excitement I get from opening those delightful little red envelopes that deliver entertainment right to my door, but what with dance classes and swing club after school, my movie-watching hours are limited.

I'm trying to put a stop to that, though. It is 4:40 and I'm going to try to squeeze in two movies before the day is over.

That's right, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, tonight I belong to Kevin Smith and Gavin Hood.

My world makes sense again.
