Happy Memorial Day weekend for my friends in the U.S. Someone asked me if I was barbecuing today and I said no - I don't own a bbq. Why not? Just never bought one. I don't feel the need to barbeque. that's all.

besides, it's only fun if you have a big group.

oh and Happy Birthday to one of my favorite actors, Cillian Murphy, who turned 32 today. The boy is breathtakingly gorgeous!

Here's to you, Cillian )

It's been a dull weekend, for the most part. not that I'm complaining. I like dull sometimes.
I went swimming Saturday morning, did five loads of laundry (no kidding) at the laundromat on Saturday afternoon, went shopping at the japanese market Saturday night, bought a new set of the Chronicles of Narnia today at Border's, and shopped for a cell phones for me and my husband (which I will probably buy tomorrow). Yesterday I watched part of The Outsiders, a movie that I probably watched six times as a teenager, but haven't seen for over 20 years! that brought back some memories of my friend Lisa Renter and I going to the theater over and over when we were 14, drooling over C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze and Rob Lowe. Tom Cruise, Emilio Estevez, Ralph Macchio and Leif Garrett are also in that film. Wow that movie is full of cute guys, a virtual feast of eye candy for a teenage girl!

Tonight I watched a film that will probably stick in my mind for a long long time - in fact, now I really want to read the book. I watched Sean Penn's movie Into the Wild , the adaptation of the non-fiction book by Jon Krakauer about Christopher McCandless, who left the middle-class, suburban, post-college society and hitchhiked his way across the U.S. to the wilds of Alaska.

cut for my long, deeply reflective review )

I meant to post a picspam of my cat, as I just uploaded a bunch of adorable pictures to my computer. But I think I'll do it tomorrow night. It's almost midnight and I need to go and read some Prince Caspian and get this movie out of my mind... for now.
