Insert Led Zepplin Lyric...

Since it's been awhile since I've actually written anything on this here blog of mine, I thought I'd take some time this rainy Saturday morning just to catch my faithful readers up on my life. Being that I've already spoken Mom this morning, this is for the other two of you.

I've seen a lot of movies lately. Being that before December I would've said that this was a real crappy year for movies, December made up for it. The last four movies I have seen were EXCELLENT and the fifth was pretty good for what it was. A couple days ago I saw "Juno". Very, very good. Funny, emotional, with a hint of morality. Very, very good. "Charlie Wilson's War." Aaron Sorkin at his best, writing political drama. Studio 60 on the something or other was alright, but I know West Wing, and you sir are no West Wing. But "War" was so good. Philip Seymour Hoffman is such a good actor. "Atonement" has had mixed reviews. I'm a big Keira Knightley fan, but mostly because I'm secretly attracted to her (wait, did I just type that outloud?). But the cinematography was very good and the pain and emotion was very raw. I give it two whatevers up. Watched "Once" on my computron. Wow. Sad I missed it in theaters. What a great movie about a story where nothing ever happens. Man was it good. Purchased the soundtrack right away. Fifth, and finally, "National Treasure 2." I know, I know, laugh all you want, but I like Nic and his dry repartee. So what if it's rediculasly unrealistic? I love me some fictional historical controversy.

Well, the new year is here. I said all through the holidays that I was gonna do something about the waistline. So far, I have extended my holiday eating schedule by two days (I was told by a reliable source that diets that start on Mondays last longer). So, Monday it is. I have a goal of losing 30 lbs. I'll keep you updated on my lack of discipline...
