Movie Parties

So when I was in high school I was famous for my movie parties. Ok, fine. Maybe famous is the wrong word. More accurately, among the handful of people who knew who I was it was well known that I threw gatherings at my parents house every few months at which we would consume junk food and watch a themed group of movies (rarely more than 2). I remember these parties as being rather fun and intellectual to a slight degree, and I think this would be a great way to reconnect with some of my friends. I think these parties will probably be every second Monday or something like that. This month it's Amelie (thank you, Amie) with crepes and creme brulee (thank you, Kim). Next month will be The Big Lebowski with bath robes, white russians, Wii bowling (thank you, Kim??), and optional marmots. 

This will be a nice outlet for the part of me that wants to be either in class or conducting one on film criticism. 

Speaking of film, I bought several DVDs today. I act like I have money. Ok, the Cary Grant collection was 40 percent off, so I couldn't not get it (I concede that can be arguable...). I also got Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Casablanca, and the Chronicles of Narnia as presented by the BBC. Do we see a trend? Absolutely not.

Also, I have seedlings sprouting up in my kitchen. There's something miraculous about planting a dry little seed in weird wet potting soil and watching the first shoots push their way out covered in filth to become beautiful flowers. Let's hope I don't kill them.
