Things I've learned this week
--I need to order happier movies. First it was Rendition (really good but HUGE bummer). Then I got Munich in the mail but I've had it at home for nearly a month and have only seen the first 40 minutes. Ugh. I just bit the bullet and sent Syriana back (didn't even OPEN that one). I am tired of movies about war, torture and assassinations. I moved all happy movies up on my netflix queue. I have the Nanny Diaries up next along with August Rush. Color me optimistic.
-- Little things make me happy. All week long I think I've been to 3 places. Work, my apartment and the grocery store. And I'm perfectly content with that. I enjoy reading books, watching my favorite shows, making dinner and going to bed early. No harm being lame, right? Except I have to get off my butt and add the YMCA to my list of stops or that membership is nothing more than a fat tax.
-- Winter driving gives me heartburn. I was in GF this weekend for my dad's birthday and had to leave for Fargo on Sunday. The 70 some miles took approx. 2 hours and I was honest to God going 30 at some points on the interstate. Not cool. Also if the temperature doesn't go above freezing and stay there, I may just lose my mind and drive my car through a building.
-- Wisdom comes from cookies. The other day a fortune cookie told me, "You will be successful someday." And I took it to work and laminated it! Now every time I'm assigned some menial receptionist task, I look at it and tell myself to breathe.
And to leave you with something fun... I want to try that stuff!

I was disappointed by The Nanny Diaries. I loved the book, but my disdain for Scarlett whatever her name is ruined the movie for me. I don't think she's a very good actress and certainly not for that role. Have you read the book? It's a million times better. Too bad they can't remake it with someone else as Nanny.
I finished the Nanny Diaries last night and really enjoyed it. I think the key is to not read the book beforehand. If you read the book you're bound to be dissapointed :) that's what I've always found anyway. Maybe I'll read the book now cause I thought it was funny and also interesting- social class/race issues for these women etc.
Also it helps that I LOVE scarlett Johansson :) How can you not? Great actress. Beautiful. Thoughtful. Political. Always appears in public with underwear... :)
I don't know, something about her bugs me and I don't think she's a very good actress. I read The Nanny Diaries YEARS ago, when it first came out because I was nannying then. Thank goodness my experience was not remotely like that at all. I highly recommend it, it's a really great book.
