(no subject) [it's not life that matters but the journey...]

It's a bit late, but I want to say thanks to

moondropz for the virtual snowglobes on my user info page. they are just what I wanted - thanks!! better than the real snow that is on the ground here - LOL! oh and thanks to

blueleopard87 for the beautiful hand-made christmas card and Supernatural cards! I was so happy! Also,

jojobruin sent me a cute card. I think I got more holiday cards this year than ever!

I've been a lot less stressed with the end of school - and of course with the impending start of a new year! I'm ready to say goodbye to 2007 like a guest that stayed too long or some bad analogy. OH! by the way did I mention I got A's in both of my classes? So at this point I have a 4.0 GPA (well after just three classes). So that's good news!

other news?? nothing really happening here except it's cold (really really cold - so cold I bought a new blanket today at WalMart), gloomy, I have to work on NY Eve day - my coppany royally sucks - even my husband gets the day off! I have no big plans except that M and I might meet my friend

iilii and her friend for dinner early. Then we just want to hang out at home, drink (get drunk??) and relax, avoiding the drunks on the road. I have a couple movies to watch, but lately for some weird reason I'm not in a movie watching mood. Though there are some newer movies I want to see: Sunshine with Cillian Murphy (it's not yet out on DVD), August Rush, No Country for Old Men, Across the Universe and even that silly parody with John C. Reilly, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. I don't have much interest in that Will Smith movie (it looks like a more beefed up Hollywood version of 28 Days Later)... I've heard great things about Juno, but not sure if I'll see that one until DVD.

and speaking of movies... does anyone have any DVD recommendations? My netflix queue is full of movies I don't really want to watch and I need to update it soon!

Also, I'm in serious need of new music. anyone have a favorite band or artist that I should listen to?

I'm almost ready to start a new knitting project - I bought some yard and needles today and will attempt a muffler to match my cute knit green hat. also I'm going back for another lesson soon - I forgot most of what I learned last year.

so other than catching up on LJ tonight, and my knitting, my life is certainly not exciting. how about you?

I don't have much interest in that Will Smith movie (it looks like a more beefed up Hollywood version of 28 Days Later)

Well actually 28 days later took many ideas from the book that I Am Legend is based on, I'll be going to see I Am Legend as I like the book, but I've heard rather mixed things about it, but apparently it's a lot better than another film based on the same book, The Omega Man (A film I have never had any interest in seeing).

I recommend Sunshine very highly, and I'm also wanting to see Across The Universe (managed to totally miss its cinema release!!). In Jan and Feb I'll be going to the cinema to Sweeney Todd, Cloverfield and possibly Jumper!

that goes to show you how little I know - LOL! I didn't even know that they came from a book, or that it was the same one.. or the same story as The Omega Man (that's a very old movie with Charleton Heston, and I've heard it's very interesting).

you will have to let me know what you think of I am Legend, and if it's as good as 28 Days Later (which I loved!). Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of Will Smith... sometimes I think his ego is too big for the screen. What's Jumper? I also can't wait to see Sunshine and Sweeney Todd (Johnny!).

Jumper has Hayden Christensen and Samuel L Jackson and is about people who can transport themselves, a bit like Hiro in Heroes is the impression I've got! Hayden is the Jumper and Samuel L Jackson is the guy trying to stop him.

Jumper sounds really interesting - I don't know why I am not with the movies these days - I guess work is too busy! I wish I didn't have to work- LOL! I love Samuel - Hayden can be good with a good role.

but then I couldn't afford to watch movies, huh?

I wish I could knit, I tried to teach myself and failed miserably. *huggles tight*

well to be honest, I'm not a good knitter. I made that blanket for my nephew, but it wasn't so good. and I'm going to attempt a muffler. we'll see how it goes. but I find it relaxing, anyway!

*huggles*

Relaxing counts for a hell of a lot, imho. Stress, it's a killer!

tell me about it:)

but do you have lots to stress about? your life seems so happy:)

*hugs* tight!

I try to focus on the happy, but yeah, I'm stressed a lot. *hugs*

*big giant hugs*

hope you're okay!!!

Yay for a new year and a new beginning!

I don't really have any suggestions for movies (you've always seemed to be more in the loop than me), but there is a cool little band I discovered over the course of the year called The Format. I fell in love with their album Dog Problems which can be streamed here: http://www.last.fm/music/The+Format/Dog+Problems

My suggestions for where to start, 'Time Bomb', 'She Doesn't Get It', 'Oceans' and 'If Work Permits' though I believe the whole album is very strong. Hope you like them. :-)

well these days I'm not as in the loop about movies, because I've been so busy. but I'll figure something out:) thanks for the music suggestions though - I will check them out for sure! I'm always taking music suggestions and learning about new stuff. I get bored easily - LOL!

Happy New Year to you - good luck with all you wish!!

I always got the impression you were the movie person on LJ. :-)

And be careful about inviting music suggestions from me - I've got a million. :-P

Here's hoping your new year has started well.

oh you're right about me being a movie person - I love movies, but these days I just don't have the time to keep up. I hardly watch movies anymore, but still love them and want to watch good ones.

I'll let you know if I need more music suggestions!!

thanks!!
