Do you remember that show on MTV or VH1 or something called "My So Called Life"? I just found out that Jared Leto aka Catalano is the lead of 30 seconds to Mars...which I really really like. Mmmm for hot men who make good music.

Renting from the library seems to lead to watching a large number of foreign language films, so my brain is getting some extra reading exercise. Tonight's fare was "Buddy" directed by Morten Tyldum and it was Norwiegan. And I really liked it. The story line wasn't overly new or earth shattering, but I grew to really care about the characters in the ( Read more... )

And pictures of my long lost emily. I miss emily. Have ( Read more... )

It is Thursday and I am packing (I feel like I should insert the obligatory I never got the hang of Thursdays). Feeling a little blah today, the weather is somewhere in between and I'm feeling kinda muggy which is never nice.
