Julie & Julia review

I loved this movie! The acting was wonderful and perfection. I love Julia Child and Meryl Streep nailed the part. Amy Adams was good too. Everyone did a fine job in this film. Most of all I loved the story. Joyful and sweet. I had no idea that Julia had such a happy and fulfilled marriage. It was wonderful to see an example of real love in a film. Something we rarely see these days.
In short a film that I will likely see again and again. Now I want to get all the books Julia ever wrote. I feel an obsession building here :-), and I don't even cook! Happy Labor Day! XOXO

Movies and other things...

I loved this movie! It is sweet and sad and funny and just plain wonderful. Watch the trailer and you get a small clue. Michael Pitt is a Revelation to me, I had never heard of him (I know I live in a cave :-) before. He is a darling actor even if he is a youngster. Loved this movie, did I already say that :-)? Well I did :-). The last couple of days I had off I cleaned up my little yard and planted some flowers. Gardening is such a wonderful, life affirming thing, isn't it? I also worked with my clay and for the first time in many tries, I actually have something to show, well sort of, it is not done yet, but I have completed half a cup and it is standing :-). I hope to complete the last half tonight. It is taking me a long time to get the hang of this. I sure hope I can get a little faster :-), slow does not begin to cover it. I worked on that half a cup for 3 and a half hours and it is only about 3 and a half inches high, that is an hour an inch! Pray for me people :-). It is a good thing I love doing it or I would throw in the towel about now. Any workers in clay out there with any helpful tips would be welcome :-). I also had a new idea for my large painting I have been struggling with and I came up with the title of my book-"Trust Where you are"-copyright 2008. What do you think of the title? Any input would be appreciated. That is it for me today, hope you are all having a sparkling weekend. OXOXOX
