Let's try this again...

Okay, readers, I was pretty sure I had written and posted an update today but upon checking my facebook just now it appears that it wasn't the case. So here's take two. 27. GO TO THE CINEMA AND STAY FOR BOTH MOVIES IN THE DOUBLE FEATURE I am not new to the charms of this small neighborhood movie theatre a quick ten minute walk from my house. But recently I've started going on an almost weekly basis and several weeks ago I actually was able to cross this off my list. The great thing was that I got two movies, small popcorn, and small drink for $8.75. If you live in Rochester and aren't picky about seeing movies after they've been out for a while, I highly reccomend the Cinema. Plus, they have a resident cat (who slept in my lap dy ring the entirety of The Descendents when I was there last week). But I digress. The night I was there for the entire double feature the two movies I saw were My Week With Marilyn and Young Adult. Two movies that don't have much to do with each other, but that's part of the charm. I loved My Week With Marilyn. Michelle Williams was outstanding and it was an intriguing glimpse in to the life of an icon and what is behind the public face. Young Adult I did not care for. Probably because I didn't care for the character Charlize Theron played. The writing was geeat and I think Diablo Cody has an interesting voice and I thought Charlize Theron did a great acting job as usual. But I didn't like the character, not even in that bad person you love to hate (like almost any role Sebastian Roche plays). While I haven't been back for another double feature I do check their movie listings ecery week in anticipation of the next time.

Two For One!

I was originally going to write this about one item, but I realized I was a vit behind on my recent activities so I will be writing about two things. 65. GO TO ONE OTHER LOCAL SPORTS GAME When I started dating my boyfriend a couple months ago he mentioned that he was a huge lacrosse fan. When I expressed an interest in seeing what the sport was about he invited me to a game. I had enough,of a somewhat basic knowledge of hockey to follow the game but this was so much better! It's very fast paced and intense and violent and I loved it! He has since brought me back to every home game and I am proud to call myself a Knighthawks fan. There is still a lot I have to learn but every game I learn a little more and am hoping to get myself some more knowledge between seasons. 61. WATCH THE MINISERIES PRIDE & PREJUDICE Any time I've mentioned the book or movie Pride & Prejudice one response kept jumping out at me: "You have to see the miniseries. Colin Firth is the perfect Mr. Darcy." So I added it to my queue and finally about a week afo it showed up in my mailbox. Now, I absolutely adore Colin Firth and would watch him read the phonebook if that was possible. I was very excited when I opened my red envelope and read the title. You know when you're excited to watch a TV series streaming or on DVD and you just have to watch three or more episodes in a row? That was me. I loved it. They were able to include so much more drom the book which really fleshed out the story. And everyone was right. Colin Firth was the perfect Mr. Darcy.

St. Patrick's Day!!!

I can't remember the number, but I did have on my list to attend Rochester's annual St. Patrick's Day parade. This year I finally went! I requested the weekend off about a month in advance. I then told my sister and suggested we take her kids. If I could have requested the weather for my first time, it would've turned out an awful lot like today. The sun was shining and it was a high of about 72. This meant the walk downtown was pleasant and once we got our spots next to my sister Brooke and her kids it was almost too warm. Was this akin to Macy's and their Thanksgiving parade? No. But I enjoyed my experience and can now cross it off my list. While I watch a drunk girl next door spin a hula hoop on various extremities and begin knocking off another item on my list: watch the miniseries Pride & Prejudice starring Colin Firth.
