Everyone's a Critic

Netflix was just down for at least 2 hours, and I almost died of boredom. Apparently, I watch movies on the internet ALL THE TIME. (I caught up on blog reading, if you're curious about how I spent that time.) Last weekend I watched three movies in one day (plus a couple TV shows). That has to be a record for me.

Here's how I viewed them (ha!):

The Lincoln Lawyer
Fast-paced courtroom drama featuring a lawyer who knows how to work the means streets of L.A. The plot was somewhat predictable, but it had enough surprises (and good actors) that I was completely entertained. The audience at AMC 34th St. left something to be desired (two snorers and women expressing their fear during tense scenes).
Letter Grade: B+

 Inception
I know, I know – everyone already saw this in theaters millions of years ago. But I refused to see it at the time (hype annoys me), and I swore it would be the perfect at-home movie. Well, I was right! Our TV measures up at 30-something inches, so I wasn't overwhelmed by any special effects or booming sound editing. I focused on the storyline, and it was pretty interesting (apart from the whole dead wife thing). Usually I do other things when I watch movies (read magazines, blog), but this one really held my attention.
Letter Grade: A-

The Buck List
This movie got terrible reviews, and I can see why. But on the other hand, I knew what I was getting into, and I actually enjoyed it. My favorite part was Jack Nicholson commenting on Morgan Freeman's freckles. It was cute. Old-person cute. And I love old people.
Letter Grade: B

Skinny Cargos

My favorite new pants: gray, skinny-fit cargos from Uniqlo. Best part: they were only $30 on special.

Yesterday I saw Susie Bubble wears them with a orange collar. I wear them with a big ol' sequin heart from Ban.do.

Open Spaces

Maybe I've just been living in cramped apartments for too long (5 consecutive years and counting), but this Eero Saarinen-design house in Indiana looks like an absolute dream.

Feather Brained

One of my biggest challenges since moving to NYC has been trying to avoid angry pigeons dive-bombing my head. It looks like this girl hasn't been as successful.
