having a 'reel' good time at the movies..

amberly and i ventured to the mall of georgia regal cinemas this evening for opening night of 'the women', starring annette bening, debra messing, meg ryan, jada pinkett, eva mendes, etc..etc... very much of a girlie movie. as a matter of fact, amberly counted the gentlemen in the theatre (which, by the way, was full of women), and there were a mere four brave souls who were most likely miserable the entire time. the movie was fabulous. it is so rare (for me at least), to leave the movie theatre thinking to myself, 'wow, that film was totally worth the overpriced ticket'. tonight, i felt like i got my money's worth. this movie made me teary eyed, had me doubled over laughing, and reminded me a lot of the movie 'steel magnolias'. well...minus the whole southern theme, and maybe also a little more added drama. but it was very enjoyable. i'll be purchasing it on dvd when it becomes available. already purchased a few of the songs from the soundtrack from itunes (lucy schwartz is an artist whose music is featured on the soundtrack, she's a newcomer and a talented girl! check her music out! you'll like her if youre a regina spektor fan)

i awoke this am with full intentions of visiting argosy university to check out the campus and meet with a member of the faculty to discuss my potential enrollment as a grad student. however, i received the office season 4 in the mail just yesterday, and am finding it difficult to leave the discs unattended by the dvd player, so i spent the day getting caught up on the show, since i missed the entire season. just feel the need to be fully prepared for the big day (sept 25, season 5 kickoff!!!). luckily, i didn't have an appointment scheduled at argosy, so i technically wasn't being irresponsible by choosing to lavish in laziness for the early part of the day. just making the choice to RELAX, which is a trade i'm learning quite well here in duluth. :-)
