I'm A Little LOST in Ruffles

So, yesterday was the LOST series finale and, oh there was drama. Apparently, Comcast went out in the Seattle area about 15 minutes into the final episode, which we realized when the DVR stopped recording about 45 minutes later... Dani called and yelled and we ended up in Kirkland at one of Nate's friend's houses watching his DVR'd finale (thank GOD for DVR). And then, I really am not sure what I thought about it. To protect those of you who have not seen it I will go into NO details, but it was a little confusing... Not that that is anything new, but... I was a little LOST.

Before the LOST finale-ness Dani and I hung out watching the SIFF movies Nowhere Boy and I Am Love. And let me just say, Nowhere Boy was effing brilliant! The 19-year-old kid who played John NAILED him. Really, a very, very powerful performance. Plus I loved that John "Imagine" Lennon was such a badass in his youth. Plus the kid from "Love, Actually" played Paul and he was super adorable! And he can sing! And Kristin Scott Thomas. I mean, enough said, right? She was (and always is) BRILLIANT!

I Am Love was a little more... um, I think the technical term is "art house", but I would go with artsy fartsy... It took itself waaaay too seriously and although it was absolutely drop-dead gorgeous to look at and Tilda Swinton was near-perfect, the story as a whole was really lacking a core. There didn't seem to be any reason why you were watching this thing... frustrating.

But overall, I think 3 out of the 4 movies I saw this weekend were really good. Winning weekend, for sure.

For all my running around to sit and watch I wore my BDG dark denim jeans from UO, Sam Edelman reptile shiny bronze pointy-toed flats from Loehmanns in NYC, ruffled grey Fossil tank and navy & cream polka-dot Parfait ruffle cardigan from Nordys.

Sounders and SIFF

So much for a relaxing morning! I ended up at the Sounders/Earthquakes game (they lost. stupid effing refs) and it was super fun (except for the creeper next to me who was real NASCAR dumb)!

I wore my Ljunberg (yum!) jersey (he played well, but a little stressed with the refs lack-of calls--boo refs), dark grey j brand skinnies, light grey Fossil zip-up and Sperry Top-Siders with my super old red AE puffy down vest.

Then, I went to a double feature at SIFF! Busy, but awesome day. Here I wore the same j brand jeans, black UO Max tee, mustard yellow cardigan from Nordys with my light brown Blowfish side zip boots.

Cyrus and Holy Rollers were very good. I liked Cyrus a lot. It was really funny. Great one-liners and you can never go wrong with John C Reilly, but it was definitely missing something. A little bland.

But Holy Rollers was effing brilliant! Hold crap! Sad and lovely coming of age movie. Jesse Eisenberg is a fantastic actor. I mean, the kid from Zombieland? Who knew?

Another full day tomorrow: cleaning in the morning, Nowhere Boy & I Am Love in the afternoon with Dani (yay!) and LOST SERIES FINALE tomorrow night.

I'm A Real Boy

Finally feel like a real person again! Success! I have (mostly) conquered the bug of ill. Although I will not jinx it and will super take care of myself this weekend too...

I am excited for this weekend! Not only am I SIFF-ing up a storm (decided on Cyrus, Holy Rollers, Nowhere Boy & I Am Love), but I get tonight and tomorrow during the day off to do other non-movie watching things. Like reorganize my kitchen. And go to yoga. And generally be a normal, non-sick person. Hooray!

Plus the LOST series finale is on Sun! So excited. They have really set it up to be an extravaganza (all 2.5 hours of it) and I get to watch it with all my friendz, so yay! And (I love Dani for this) we are going to play JackFace--bahahahaha! Oh, Jack...

Today, for my re-entry into life I am wearing my j brand grey skinnies, red BP pointy-toed flats, long cream UO tank with black detailing at the top, Express black v-neck cardigan and F21 cropped red swing jacket with my crazy pearl, black chain, gold chain and fake diamond Aldo necklace.

I really love that jacket, but I hate the fact that the lining bleeds. It's not like I paid a lot for it, but it's so cute and I can only wear it with black... boo... Any tips on how to get it to STOP bleeding? I will try anything!

Exciting weekend. Plus Pam is back in town packing up my parents' stuff to move down to Panama, so I'm hoping to get some tables or bookshelves that way (hint, hint)!
