roundup

he was a quiet man. well acted, and different. downside: wasn't a comedy at all, and i just can't take jack bauer's daughter seriously after all the really stupid stuff she did on 24.

sylvia. really good, but so freaking depressing. i hate ted hughes.

trust the man. not very funny, but made me feel lucky about my love life. and i like maggie gyllenhaal.

3:10 to yuma. one of the best movies i've seen in a long time. loved russell crowe in it. not boring.

hamlet. so good, loved this. i am partial to modern shakespeare interpretations though.

gangs of new york. too sad and too long. took a while to get into it. but not too bad.

peewee's big adventure. funny i remember this being about him saving animals, and forgot all the stolen bike stuff. worth it to watch with kids for the large marge scene, which gave me nightmares as a child. hilarious.

underdog. this one surprises me that the kids get so much genuine pleasure out of it. i expected it to be too young for them - they love star wars and lord of the rings - but they laughed out loud and were on the edge of their seats.
discovery
the apron is finished. next time i attempt an apron, i won't pick one unneedlessly complicated. gathers and lining? this should be a nightgown! and next time, i'll pick a domestic print like little rosebuds or something...
:: swap-bot. for photography swaps. i really like sharing mine.
:: sewing. my apron is finished. now my weekender can be justified. hopefully, it looks as good as this.
:: a photo a day? 5 at a time sounds more manageable. can i? should i? does that mean 29 now to catch up?
:: bloglines! i can check all hundred blogs i read for new posts in seconds!
:: it's possible to get my ipod songs back onto the computer (i deleted them because i didn't have enough hard drive space...)
365
i've decided to try out project 365, and see if i can keep it up. i came across it a few times, before i was actually inspired to try it by this blog. so i will post 31 pictures for january sometime soon, then start in february. i probably won't even worry about taking a picture for each day, but just try to have seven or so by the end of the week, or 30 or so by the end of the month. hey, low expectations, right?

he reminds me so much of benjamin barry in how to lose a guy in 10 days when they are a the chick flick marathon and she's harrassing him about what is he thinking and he says something like: if you must know, i 'm sitting here thinking about how beautiful you are...
