Hi.

So yeah, last night. Not my greatest night but oh well moving on. That Hemingway's is a tricky tricky place.

There is this bar over in the South Side called The Library. It seems really cool as in the menus are library books and the items on the menu are all named after books. So who wants to visit it with me?

I am currently watch Empire Records for the very first time. Clearly, I've been missing out and so far, the soundtrack is awesome.

Last night, BART and I went shopping. I was looking a present for a certain someone but I'm still searching for something perfect. But I did wander in to Urban Outfitters for the very first time ever. I never knew what I was missing and I think I wanted everything in that store.

Somehow the night morphed into roommate date night. We met up with Buddy to see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. uh, It was AWESOME. The movie was just so cute and funny. But now I want the soundtrack. However, I can't seem to find it anywhere online. I guess I could always buy it.

I think I might be going to another concert this friday. Bon Journey is in town and I think they sound amazing. Really how could this turn out to be bad thing?

Guys!

Morgan Freeman was in a car accident and is now in serious condition.

I am all kinds of sad now.

He's like the coolest guy out there.

Yesterday was a day filled with movies. First, I went with the whole family to see Wall-E. I was surprised we went to the 5:05 and the theatre maybe had 15-20 people in it. I'll wait to write about my feelings on the film til you all have a chance to see it or until I can't figure out what to post one day and then it'll all just come pouring out.

Anyway after that movie my dad, Woie, and I headed over to the the Temple Theatre for the Saginaw Riverside Film Festival. They had a ton of films I wanted to see but the lack of money and the option of just renting the movies for free from Blockbuster Online won out. But my dad really wanted to go the main feature for Friday night. It was Mystery Science Theatre 3000: the movie. We grew up watching the tv show first on Comedy Central and then when it bounced to the Sci-Fi network. So it was really cool to see on a big screen and one of the creators came along to speak about show, his new book, and why Hollywood Sucks. 

Oh and I figured out that whole Starbucks Card. Toi had given me a Starbucks gift card for my birthday and I registered it online thinking I was doing all I needed to get secret cool stuff. But then I started noticing all these signs about benefits from the Starbucks Card and no matter how much coffee I bought during the last month I got nothing. So I went on their website and found out that you needed to register a second time in a special section. There you get to choose whether or not you'd like the wi-fi option which allows you 2 free hours of wi-fi daily in any Starbucks. Its all free as long as you use your Starbucks gift once a month. 

And then today my mom dragged me back to the movie theater where I saw Wanted. I liked it. Toi, if you ever need someone to play cat's cradle with, Morgan Freeman is pretty good at it. And its pretty hilarious to hear him say Motherfucker. I think that was the best part of the movie.

I’m watching the annual AFI countdown “10 Top 10” with my parents. I love watching these countdowns. But my parents keep ruining the ends of all the movies I haven’t seen yet. On a side note, "Laura" the movie I’m named after placed #4 on the Mystery list. It makes me happy.

ETA: I just discovered the origins of the dingo ate my baby. Oh Meryl Streep!

After watching “The Unicorn and the Wasp”, I was inspired to read some of Agatha Christie’s books. I remember as a child seeing them on my parents’ bookcase. So I spent all night searching for them in the basement where almost all the books were banished to when the den roof caved in. I couldn’t find them anywhere. I came upstairs and asked my parents where they were. Once they actually paid attention to my question, I discovered that my mother donated them all to library because no one was reading them. This was disappointing. So I headed over to Zauel and checked out “Murder on the Orient Express” and another something about a funeral. I’m excited to read them. 

I’ve also recently got the new Ann Brashares novel “The Last Summer (Of You and Me)” but I haven’t started it yet. I hope its good. I enjoyed the first Sisterhood book, the second just made me so mad, and the last two were okay.

I went to see the Sex and the City movie with my mom. It seemed appropriate since I used to rent the seasons and watch them with her because we didn't have HBO. I enjoyed the movie. It just made me want to dash off to NYC to live in a wonderful Manhattan apartment thats only $750 a month and wear designer labels and run around with my fabulous friends. But then it was pointed out that all of that would need money.

I wont reveal any of the plot in case people are planning on seeing it. But I will say that I found it hilarious that the biggest audience reaction did not come from any big character developments or crazy fashion choices. Instead, it came when Carrie's new closet was unveiled. But to be fair it was a glorious closet. I would keep my room clean for that closet.

Oh, and guys?

Promise that if I ever get a boyfriend and we go to the movies and I watch the movie with my check pressed up against his, you'll slap me.

Thanks!
