Some Movie Stuff

I am deeply in love with Clive Owen. Deeply. Purchased a few of my favorite movies this weekend - Closer, White Oleander and The Weatherman. The Weatherman was one of the few movies that made me laugh after my mom died.

Watched Mini's First Time. Amen to Alec Baldwin - that guy is phenomenal. (Equally great in The Departed and Along Came Polly, coincidentally.) And I just love Nikki Reed as a bad girl. See Thirteen.

Me, Emily and Rick tried to watch the Black Dahlia on Friday, but it sucked too bad. Maybe they should stop giving Josh Hartnett (errr...Wicker Park) movie rolls, but Scarlett sucked too.

Watched The Lake House yesterday. Sandra Bullock had the worst hair cut. The movie was a bore, but that lake house was great looking. Keanu is still hot. Sean McNamara was in it too.

I'm trying to make it through Down in the Valley with Evan Rachel Wood (dynamic and beautiful) and Ed Norton (hot and brilliant). It's slow moving, but well acted.

Sitting on top of my tv is Proof and The Aviator, which I have surprisingly never seen.

Also yesterday hit the matinee of The Queen - absolutely fantastic. Helen Mirren - lordy - you are good. She'll take it this year at the Oscars. Streep's performance in The Devil Wears Prada ain't got nothing on The Queen. See Mirren in another fave - Gosford Park by the recently deceased Robert Altman.

Dying to see Children of Men and Little Children (I think I will go buy the book today). Volver fortunately coming to Fall Creek Theatres on January 19. God bless Almodovar.

Love the fact that Ryan Gosling is getting Oscar nods for his role in Half Nelson ... one of my favorite movies of the year.

Baby - this morning - decided that MY FOOT was a good target to pee on during our walk. I was astonished. Luckily I was wearing my rubber clogs, which I purchased for walks through gorges. Little bastard.

Tomorrow, back to work full-time - two weeks gone with the holiday, the head injury and the flu. I need movement again. I do love Ithaca, but I'm hopelessly bored. And why doesn't every restaurant in this town deliver? Got rid of the Christmas tree yesterday morning and my living room is back to normal.

Signing off.

Loving Dresses Again

After some 10 years of wearing skirts throughout every season with every sort of shoe imaginable. I'm going to resolve to wear more dresses this year after I lose the bulge. And black pants - I just love blank pants. I swear, I must have 15 pairs.

Check out www.edressme.com. Can't wait to stock up on vacation wear for our big travel plans in July!

I'm coming down with a bug. Last week it was my head injury. I still have a nice little knot between my eyebrows, and this week I'm just exhausted. I have the chills now and can barely keep my head off my desk.

Sleepy. Signing off.
