dodgy

i just saw the darjeeling limited at the screening room with miss melinda richka. like most of my generation, i am a big fan of wes anderson films, but there hasn't been one that's really floated my boat since the royal tenenbaum. i think the last i saw was the life aquatic, and i didn't particularly enjoy it, although i think that was do to circumstances. ben died that day. this film i really liked, and i'd have to say that adrien brody stole the show for me. i love how wes anderson uses all the same actors, it's really funny.

i'm beginning to wonder if i can bear winter. i realize that i'm not climatized yet, but it's only 11ยบ outside and i'm already thinking "i can't do this". winter feels so foreign to me this year, it's as though it's my first one or something.

i wish my life was as quaint as a wes anderson film. sometimes when i listen to the soundtrack of my life, i get the feeling that the minute details of my life are significant and intentional. like in a movie when even the click of a light-switch is deliberate. perhaps if i slow down and take more notice of such things, i may get the opportunity to really relish them.

you,
are on your way.

I feel the same way about winter. I'm looking forward to spring already.

Agreed about winter...Kevin & I walked Levi the other night and I was bundled in a hat, scarf & mitts while Kevin walked with his coat undone! Winter is NOT my friend! Yet Kevin appears to looove the cold. I came home on the weekdn to find our back door WIDE open. It was something like 3 degrees out. He's a fool!

yes, spring is looking pretty good right about now. although, i am of the school of thought that believes spring cannot be fully appreciated without the cold and miserable winter.

oh melody... you love it ;) you're not fooling me :) that's funny though, i love the picture of that in my head.
