We may not have won, but I got some serious shopping done this weekend. New wok, down comforter, duvet cover, fun peasant-looking dress/top, replacement dock connector for my iPod, Philosophy Pure Grace fragrance and cleanser, Philosophy Empowermint 3-in-1, NARS Lipgloss in Stella, magnetic refrigerator calendar, super magnets, tea ball, 6-gal water cooler…and I think that might cover it. Nice weekend.

Thursday Thirteen

Oct 5, 2006 Author: Elizabeth | Filed under: Meme, Movies, Thursday Thirteen

Thirteen movies few other people like that I am not ashamed to call some of my favorites1. Get Over It! - Truly a classic. Modern, high school version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream starring Ben Foster and Kirsten Dunst. But I don’t care about her.
2. Powder - It’s probably safe to say I like this movie too much. It speaks to me though and the music is phenomenal. Try to listen to the version of the theme with lyrics, performed by Sarah Brightman — “No One Like You”.
3. Sleeping With the Enemy - The music is enough for me with this one.
4. Yentl - Barbara Streisand. Dressed as a man. I don’t think much else needs to be said.
5. The Way We Were - While we’re on the subject…more people like this one, but there are people out there who hate Babs. Can you imagine?!
6. The Mirror Has Two Faces - Aaryn is with me on this one and I consider THAT one major accomplishment of my sophomore year at OU. I fear this could be my life someday, though I’m not so much of a frump when I put some effort into things and I will NOT be a college professor. Ever, ever, ever.
7. Fatal Attraction - Don’t ever break up with me. I’ve learned from the best. And seriously, you need to get the DVD and watch the alternate ending.
8. Minotaur - Most people have never even heard of this. I think a Hebrew film company released it, starring Mili Avital who has some spectactular curly hair. This movie is about obsessive love…and it’s great.
9. The Lake House - I get criticized for liking this all the time. It’s good. Watch the Korean version it was based on, Il Mare.
10. City of Angels - I get a lot of flack for this one, too. I like it. Wish it was a little darker, like Wings of Desire (German film that it was remade from). At the time it came out I had a little crush on Nicolas Cage.
11. Dance movies — Center Stage, Save the Last Dance, and Take the Lead, plus a few others that I’m sure I’m leaving out. I cannot resist these things.
12. Elizabethtown - I run into lots of people who didn’t like it, but for me, it works. Some people think it’s a poor man’s Garden State, but I like it better. That IS my family.
13. Splendor in the Grass - It is pretty old. I inherited my taste in films from my Grannie though. This is one I could watch all day though (and did, as Heather can atest to, when I was writing that paper freshman year over the social impact on sexuality in the 1920s as presented in this film).

It actually is frightening

This is a new addition at my alma mater. The football team runs through the mouth at the start of each game. Note the red mouth. More on this tomorrow.

Gold enough for us all.

Tonight I met Pat Conroy and it was marvelous. Never before have I heard someone speak words as alive as his were. Beautiful, funny, painful, happy, real stories. If I could have the tiniest fraction of that sort of talent, I would ask for nothing else.
