Today was my 24th birthday and I celebrated by going to see Sunshine Cleaning with my roommate and gorging on popcorn. Did you know movie popcorn is actually vegan? Guess no one wants to refrigerate the buttor-flavor topping!
The movie was great – I highly recommend it to people who liked Juno and/or Little Miss Sunshine. I’m getting really excited to go to DC this weekend though…it’s the Cherry Blossom festival!
Went out to see the movie Tokyo! at CC Cinemas near Bloomingdales. It was a lot of fun! Very reminiscent of Pari
Speaking of all things Japanese, I’m really thinking about going to DC or the Cherry Blossom festival over my birthday weekend. Looks absolutely beautiful — hopefully I’ll have good weather!
It was a double-feature chick-flick weekend, with Confessions on Saturday and HJNTIY today. I hate to admit it, but I really was excited to see them (esp. HJNTIY). However, they both fell a little flat.
Confessions just had terrible timing, and I’m not sure many twentysomething girls could empathize with Isla Fischer’s character — even if we love her hair. When it comes down to it, we’d much rather pay our rent than buy the next hot Gucci bag. And I’ve worked in publishing (albeit online, across the floor from our magazine counterparts) for awhile now, and I can promise you the field isn’t nearly that glamorous. I’m pretty sure no Editorial Assistants, Associates or even Managing Editors make enough money to afford the lifestyles described in the plot. Probably because we can be replaced so easily.
Girls, I’m serious. If a guy acts like a jerk, he’s not worth your time. Wouldn’t you rather be reading a good book or watching Lost In Austen?
