RSS Feedthe time that i added a boat load of movies to my must-see list
after watching the golden globes tonight i have greatly increased the list of movies that i need to watch in the very near future to include:
- Wall-E
- Vicky Cristina Barcelona
- Happy-Go-Lucky
- Doubt
- Burn After Reading
- Last Chance Harvey
- Confessions of a Shopoholic (pretend you didn’t see this one)
- Curious Case of Benjamin Button
- Bernard & Doris
- John Adams
- Frost/Nixon
- In Bruges
- Slumdog Millionaire
- The Reader
- Revolutionary Road
- He’s Just Not That Into You (again, pretend you didn’t see this one)
- Milk
- Rachel Getting Married
- Changeling
- Gran Torino
- The Dark Knight
yeah, i have no idea when i’m going to get through the whole list. i will have to get started immediately.
in other news … something that really annoys me are the new ny-quil/day-quil with vitamin c commericals. the commercials feature their new formulations that include vitamin c that is supposed to be good at preventing and stopping colds, right? well then why do they feature people who are vitamin c fanatics? if these people are taking tons of vitamin c and are still getting sick, why would ny-quil with vitamin c be any kind of improvement?
and that’s all i’ve got for now. i have some desparate housewives and brothers & sisters to get watched before i head off to bed.
the time i came back home to chicago and it snowed
i have returned to chicago and was graciously greeted with a winter storm. although, in my opinion it most certainly didn’t turn out to be as bad as i had expected. no pics from this snow experience as i only bothered to go outside and walk through it once and when i did, it was just way too wet to want to deal with the camera in it.
my sleeping pattern was thrown off for some reason. i just couldn’t get to sleep last night and ended up with about two or three hours of sleep last night. i tried to nap but after an hour or so i woke up and just couldn’t get back to sleep.
no big plans for the next few days. going to try and take advantage of these last four days of vacation and just relax and catch up with a few friends. no big plans for new year’s, going to a party with a friend but i’m hoping it will be a low-key evening for the most part.
i’ve been entertaining myself with wikipedia over the last few days and i’ve learned some AMAZING things, including some interesting things about lake michigan. lake michigan covers more surface area than the country of croatia. the average depth along the chicago shoreline is 15-35 feet, however the lakebed it littered with tons of crap including ship wrecks and airplanes from world war II. history lesson for the day.
and now i must return to finish the last movie of the day. just about to finish the holiday which caps off a full day of other not-so-great films such as i, robot and maid in manhattan (shut up, don’t even start with me. there was seriously nothing better on tv.).
