Watch all the movies in Roger Ebert's "The Great Movies" (read all 16 entries…)
More movies checked off 23 hours ago

I just finished watching JFK, I watched Some Like It Hot before that, and I saw Nashville earlier in the week. I’m on a Jack Lemmon streak, as he’s been in 3 of the last 4 movies I’ve seen, 2 of those in starring roles. I have a couple of films on deck, but they aren’t Great Movies movies. More to come!

getting warmer! 23 hours ago

I have now applied to two staffing companies, and today, one of them sent my application to a business needing a data entry person. I know I don’t have a job yet, but this is great progress, and I’m pretty happy about it. What a relief!

Read a 'Someday' book 6 days ago

I finally picked up Postcards from the Edge by Carrie Fisher, and it was a great read. She’s really funny, and I’m glad she found a good guy at the end, though I haven’t read the sequel, so I’m just going to revel in the happy for now, regardless of what’s happened since.

I’d been meaning to read this for a while now. Yay!
