Movie Therapy

I've been watching a lot of movies lately...ALOT!!! Some I've bought...some I rented...some I had seen before and bought anyway...some I bought and still haven't seen...it's been good "therapy" as Jessica put it. Maybe...it takes my mind off things...and really good movies are always good for the soul...and I think of really good movies kind of like books...you can learn something...even if it's only about yourself. :)

1. Blood Diamond...saw it in the theatre, but LOVE this one...watch it!!!

2. Bobby...rented it...really liked it.

3. Rumor Has It...I love Shirley Mcclain in anything! I cried my eyes out. Of course I did watch it right after the next one.d

4. World Trade Center...everyone has their own sad story dealing with 9/11, and I definitely have my own demons from that day...week...I thought it was a great movie.

5. Volver...started off thinking it was kind of weird...Spanish humor is different from American humor, but by the end I was loving it (subtitles).

6. Half Nelson...another great movie...little bit of a let down on the ending.

7. Come Early Morning...great, great movie about finding out who you really are. Cried at this one, too.

8. Running with Scissors...eh...

9. Off the Map...a little slow...but liked it a lot. It was really cute.

10. Dreamland...coming of age story...slow...but good.

11. Empire of the Sun...I love war movies, and this one is an all time classic.

12. The White Countess...another war movie...slow, not so good...but love Ralph Fiennes.

13. Beowolf and Grendle...I don't care what it was about it had Gerard Butler and his Scottish accent in it!!!

14. Children of Men...loved it in the theatre, and the second time, too. Plus my boyfriend Clive Owen is in it.

15. The Horse Whisperer...my girlfriend is in this one when she was little...Scarlett Johannson...all time classic...cried.

I know there's more, but can't remember right now...The ones I haven't watched yet are Pursuit of Happyness...the first season of Party of Five...and some others...dang...my memory sucks right now!!!

Works going ok. The days go by fast. Gabby is good. Getting taller every minute!

Seriously, your spelling is atrocious in this post. You're getting a dictionary for your 30th birthday! "Happyness"??????

Love movie therapy! I'm watching "Love's Abiding Joy" tonight and I have a few others on my list. Another one I liked is "Raising Victor Vargas". You should rent that one. I'll try to come up with some other suggestions.

Love ya!

I'm not sure that I like this laughter!!! Please go take a look at the DVD...that's the way it's spelled...there's a reason for it!!! Sheesh!

Feeling the Urge . . . I'm kind of feeling an urge to blog this morning...just to get my thoughts out...do something to keep my mind busy and relieve some stress...yet, I don't seem to have anything to say. I totatlly skipped doing cardio this morning, and know that I won't make it to the gym for the rest of the day...being very lazy. I stopped this morning and got a bagel and coffee. I was standing in line with all the other people who were either wearing business suits or scrubs (I live in the medical center after all), and I felt quite out of place in my Maroon5 (yeah!) T-shirt and jeans that I wore to school last night and just threw on this morning to take Gabby to school. No make-up and hair in a ponytail. I was looking quite decrepit amongst those other "working folks"! I'm wondering how my life got to be this freakin' boring!!! And then I'm wondering why the bagel shop has to be right next to a mortuary?...just a thought.
What is the definition of love? Some anonymous person asked me this in the 'comments section' many blogs ago. A hard one to answer...everyone has a different answer...I am slowly admitting to myself that I have never truly been in love...I have felt deep affection for people, and I have had my feelings manipulated, and I have definitely been in lust...But I honestly can say that I've never been in love on my own terms...I'm so ready to be swept completely off my feet...
