three to see

My three favorite movies I have seen this year, by coincedence, were all seen this past week. Funny how that works sometimes! I am pretty easy to please entertainment wise, and try to find something enjoyable in all flicks. These movies made it easy.

Once Is about a street musician who wants to be something more, and a woman he meets who helps him realize his dream. It is a lovely movie, with an awesome soundtrack that I immediately downloaded. Then I watched it again.

Waitress is a movie I have been wanting to see for a long time. I love Keri Russell, so I usually try to catch whatever she is in. I was almost scared to see this movie... I wanted it to be really good. And it was. I could watch this over and over.

Juno got me into the theater by myself for the first time ever! I loved Ellen Page. I think Diablo Cody rocks. Allison Janney & Jason Bateman were perfect. And I now have a crush on Michael Cera. Between Juno & Superbad-he rocks my world. Way not in my age group, but I dig him.

I'm so excited for the Academy Awards tonight. I didn't see all of the movies. Not anywhere close, even. But I did see many of the nominated performances. I like surprises, although it sounds like many of the awards are locked in. It'll still be good.

We worked for 6+ hours in the basement yesterday. One thing led to another which led to another, and before you know it we have ceiling tiles pulled down and everything emptied from the furnace room. It's more of a mess than when we started. But it's manageable now, and I can do it by myself. No more heavy lifting. Well, for now anyway. My reward is extreme soreness all over every inch of my body. I didn't move much today.

Good Sunday to ya!
