Last weekend I drove four hours to Dallas to spend two nights with my Sister from another Mister, Emily.

Masterpiece Theater’s Jane Eyre

May 17, 2007

I watched Masterpiece Theater’s Jane Eyre two days ago and I cannot get it out of my head! It was an unbelievable adaptation of the book. The best. When I read Jane Eyre there are certain parts that make my whole body shiver. Butterflies in my stomach. Goosebumps on my arms. The chemistry of love [...]

Daniel Craig, Leonardo DiCaprio

April 11, 2007

Oh. My. Word. Matt Damon move over. Seriously. Get out of my closet. Last week I saw Casino Royale. I’ve never been a James Bond fan. Everyone said, "It doesn’t matter.

Go See This Movie

August 22, 2006

Last week I went to see Little Miss Sunshine with a good friend of mine. We had both heard the buzz that it was well-received at Sundance, we both love Greg Kinear and the guy from The Office/The 40-Year-Old Virgin (apparently not enough for me to know his name, though), and we were both ready [...]
