Making cookies. I mean, cookie.

All these pictures were taken with my yearbook bestie Maggie's Canon 60D.  She's an amazing photographer!

Bri, my successor as editor in chief (and one of my closest friends) and I went over to Maggie's house to make some cookies and watch Country Strong.  We had a blast, especially when the 'cookies' turned into a single, enormous cookie blob (one for each of us, of course) that was twice as big and twice as delicious.  

Lovely Friday night.

3. Pride and Prejudice



4. Roman Holiday



5. Country Strong



6. King Kong



7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

9. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark



10. Elizabethtown

Wow.  That's a lot, but I thought I should go out with a bang!

These are all the movies I can and have watched a million times, and never get tired of.  

LOVE 'EM ALL









I'm Country STROOOONG

Saturday, January 8, 2011 § 0

As you may have guessed, I did see that last night.  My old friend Corey was in town for his elongated winter break (oh, how I want to be in college!) and so my sister, him, and me all decided to go to Corner Bakery for a quick meal and then over to the theater for a showing of Country Strooooooong! (Sorry, but I can't say that without raising my arm symbolically and drawling out the last word, a la Miss Gweneth Paltrow).

It was actually....very good.  I don't even like country music that much (well, I have more now that we've spent more time at the farm- the only station we pick up down there is honky-tonk) and I really enjoyed the soundtrack.  Leighton Meester was really great and, of course, gorgeous, but Garret Hedlund's musky voice really stole the show.  I thought Gweneth did really well, too- she was quite heartbreaking.  The ending is unexpected but the movie is wonderful and you should all go see it :)
