1. Like others, I love Eternal Sunshine, Lost in Translation, Amelie and Spirited Away. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Kill Bill 1 & 2 and Waking Life are also favorites of mine. And even if it’s not the best, you’ve gotta give Old School a nod for most quotable movie of the decade.

one time i got this special art pen with a very narrow tip. to try it out i took a dollar bill and filled in the 1 on the upper right corner with red ink. i spent the bill. 2 or 3 years later i bought gas and got the bill back in change. i was freaked – i thought there must be a reason. so i played the first 3 digits of the bill and won the lottery that evening.

Ugh to Dancer in the Dark, Lars Von Trier, how depressing :P I think one of the more impressive movies of the decade would have to be Russian Ark (2002). It was a 90 minute long piece done in one take. NO EDITS, amazing really.

This summer was the first time I was ever in a golf tournament. I don’t really golf, maybe 4 times a year (outside mini golfing of course ;D). On one of the holes was Women’s longest drive, somehow I managed to win. I think I only hit the ball 190 yards, but it was one of the few that stayed the fairway which was the only reason it was the winner. Still pretty cool, won a fancy putter for it.

Spirited Away
Knocked Up (guilty pleasure)

1. I saw “Amelie” and “Milk” suggested up above–two choices I’d definitely second! Also: Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Call me a nerd (heck, it’s probably not even that good a movie) but I adore it.

2. Best thing I ever found: my SSN. When I was filling out all my college application paperwork last fall, I kept putting the same nine digits down. I was quite sure it was my social, but hadn’t double-checked since memorizing it several years ago. This feeling of foreboding grew a bit stronger with every application, until I finally went absolutely bats*** and dug up all my paperwork. It was quite a relief to discover I’d been right.

3. My favorite headline is The Philippines: Is Imelda a Shoe-In?

4. I’ve done a lot of new things this summer–mostly traveling to new places. The worst? Tried a fried clam. I’ve been a vegetarian since I was thirteen and had never had one. Now, I can check that one off the bucket list.

5. Hm… perhaps “Best Twitter Update?”
Or not. :P

1. Lord of the Rings trilogy. Every aspect of the films (directing, acting, costuming, music, lighting, etc.) was perfect and they stand as an unprecedented, beautiful piece of artistic triumph.

2. My Grandmother is a war bride from London who was swept off her feet by an American soldier and brought back to the states where they raised a family. My grandfather died before my parents met, so all we had were stories. One day we decided to break the lock on an old cabinet in Grandmother’s basement and discovered twelve letters he had written home from the war, outlining his entire courtship of Grandmother in two-week intervals. Having never met him face-to-face, these letters gave me a chance to get to know my grandfather in his own words.
