I'm drinking a mug of homemade hot chocolate with Bailey's. There is never a time that isn't perfect for drinking this. Yum.
I found this beautiful little
online fashion booklet today and have been oohing and aahing at all the pretty pictures. Reeeeally makes me want it to be warm (or at least not snowing) so that I can dust off my camera and take lots and lots of photos of people and friends and fashion... oh so inspired! Let it be spring, let it be spring! This year is going to be a good year for my photography - I can feel it!!
Saw "Brothers" last night. That movie is depressing. True to form, I cried a lot. But the rest of the night was awesome - Lyndsey and I ate amazing sushi and cupcakes and sat around watching silly TV and I fell in love some more with her cat. Today was a day of cleaning and grocery shopping and laundrying and paying bills and all that other fun responsible adult stuff!
Lovely weekend, all in all. And I haven't killed my orchid plant yet!

My favourite part about Sunday afternoons is this. Right here, right now. I am all cozy underneath a fleece blanket I bought today, a mug of Chai tea is beside me, I have a brand new Elle magazine on the other side of me, my laptop on my lap... Good times.
I set out today to buy a winter coat and winter boots, since the forecast is saying that it's going to snow tonight and continue snowing throughout this week. Yep, winter is finally arriving, and I can't be in denial any longer about it. But I really couldn't find anything I liked, and bought this fleece blanket instead. So now I'll be all warm and cozy inside my apartment, but as soon as I go outside, I'm going to freeze and die. Excellent. Good planning, Maresa.
Last night I watched "New Moon" (thankfully I did NOT pay to see it), which was just as terrible as I expected. Cheesy, terrible acting, stunted dialogue, one-liners, ugh ugh and more ugh. I pretty much just laughed and mocked the entire movie. The best part was how in every scene Jacob managed to be wearing no shirt and was showing off his rather sexy abs. However, then Lynds told me that the actor is actually 17 and I should stop being such a perv. Hmmm. I continued perving. Seriously, those movies are just terrible and it makes me sad because I actually liked the books. Too bad I'm not 16 like all the other Twilight fans and then I might actually tolerate them.
Time to go grocery shop for the week before it starts to SNOW. This is the first year in my life that I'm dreading snow. Usually I'm so excited and happy. But no, this winter there's going to be blizzards and -40 degree temperatures, and I'm going to be trekking through snow drifts, and everyone is telling me I'm going to die. All of the above do NOT inspire confidence! Help!!

There is a huge thunderstorm happening outside right now. Flashes of lightning every 10 seconds, super loud thunder, pelting rains, and I think a bit of hail too.
I went to go see the movie "Moon" tonight. Very strange film, plays tricks with your mind, I seriously felt claustrophobic at times watching it. It also shows how humans cannot function alone for long periods of time. I dunno. It was weird. And now it's put me into this weird alone-feeling blah mood. I need company.
I just watched the trailer for the upcoming movie
"The Time Traveler's Wife" and I must say that I'm very excited about it. That book is probably one of my top 3 favourite books ever - the only book I have actually cried (no, sobbed is a better word) from both happiness and sadness. Truly moving. I will be hitting the theatres on Aug 14th to see it for sure.
Is it lame if I crash into bed at 10:30? Whatever, last night was a late night, I'm tired, and I don't care!

The Dark Knight
I went to go see The Dark Knight tonight, after a little bit of whining on my part. I'd been putting off seeing it because I remember that I wasn't really into Batman Begins, and also because the movie is 2.5 hours long and I am very against long movies! My take on long movies over 2 hours is that the editor sucks. Two and a half hours of my life watching a movie is way too long and I usually end up watching my clock to see when it will end. So I wasn't very excited to go see The Dark Knight tonight! But! I loved it! I thought it was really awesome. So angsty and dark but with spices of humour here and there, and the Joker was fabulous. I got so into it, I barely noticed the time flying by, and you know I'm into a movie when the tears start rolling down my face. Now I actually want to watch Batman Begins again - I think I've got a renewed appreciation for Batman (and Christian Bale).
The one thing about movies though is that I get super tired afterwards. Maybe it's the hours of sitting in darkness. I'm yawning my face off right now.
My new website is up and coming... I'm not sure how much I'm loving the layout that I'm coding right now, though, so that is holding me back a little. I might change it all, but I don't know, I'm never really satisfied when it comes to layouts. *yawn* Goodnight :)
