My movie choice went over well. I finally decided upon
Love That Boy which I discovered this winter. It's quirky & fun & was filmed in Halifax.
Today I broke down and bought running shoes. My old ones are seriously worn out and my ankle's recently started hurting right after I go running. They were on sale and are, as far as running shoes go, minimally offensive (though why anyone would wear them for aesthetic reasons is really beyond me). I really want to throw them in a mud puddle b/c their whiteness is scary.
