movies to see:
- away we go
- (500) days of summer – good movie….made even better by the soundtrack and joseph gordon-levitt’s dimples
- funny people
- the time traveler’s wife
- julie & julia – cute movie. made me really hungry. meryl streep completely stole the show…and I loved her with stanley tucci.
back-up choice: my sister’s keeper
[the fact that they changed the ending leaves me on the fence of whether or not I want to see this movie]
books to read:
- neverwhere by neil gaiman
- the pact by jodi picoult
- water for elephants by sara gruen
- the lightning thief by rick riordan – cute book…all the greek mythology references take me back to my junior high interests
- twenties girl by sophia kinsella
back-up choice: pride and prejudice and zombies by jane austen, seth grahame-smith
[at first, I was a little put-off at the thought of this book, but I've heard it's a really funny take on classic Jane Austen]
dvds to rent:
- on the town – what can I say…I’m a huge gene kelly fan
- coraline – surprisingly simple yet creepy story.
- how i met your mother – season 2 – every slap dished out for the on-going ‘slap bet’ payment makes me laugh out loud.
- gone baby gone
- bottle shock
live events to attend:
- wicked @ the performing arts center – it was soooo good!! pink goes good with green
- austin symphony big band night @ hartman concert park at the long center
- what made milwaukee famous @ antone’s
