Fish and Chips and Ginsberg!!!

So today my boss is treating us to fish and chips for lunch! It's St. Patrick's Day, you know!

So I am not sure how I feel about James Franco. I used to hate him but he keeps growing on me. C hates him and is appalled that I am giving him the benefit of the doubt in regards to his acting skills.

I watched Pineapple Express yesterday and, to my surprise, really liked it!

Here are photos of James Franco as Allen Ginsberg....again not sure how I feel about that yet. I remember as a teen reading Ginsberg so I am not sure if I think James Franco is legit playing him. I guess Ivy League is helping him get more in touch? Who knows. Enjoy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

So today I am starting my day with Irish oats and ending it with Irish beer.

What are you doing for St. Patrick's Day?

Happy Tuesday!

Lainey Gossip

So Cheryl introduced me to www.laineygossip.com two weeks ago and I am hooked. How did I, the smuthound extrodinaire, not know about Lainey? I have been wasting all my energy on Perez Hilton for 4 years I guess,,,,

Not only is she Canadian BUT she is catty! Reading her blog is like emailing with a girlfriend and I love it!!!

Bonus? She loves the same celebs that I do so I get the proper gossip fix that keeps me going everyday.

Happy Monday.

This is the scarf...

This is the scarf that I am knitting but I am growing impatient. I want to wear it. I want it to be done and around my neck looking gorgeous. This is why I had always said that I would never knit a scarf again. It just takes so long to finish, no like mittens or hats,

....but it's so pretty. The pattern is of leaves and when I finish it I will have a very, very looong scarf. One that will go with lots of clothes. One I can imagine wearing when I am on a plane to keep me warm.

Happy Monday.

I Heart Natalie Portman....

It just gets better and better every time I watch it. Enjoy.

Let the Right One In

So, we watched this movie a couple weeks ago and I feel I should recommend it to everyone I know. It is a Swedish movie about a boy who falls in love with a girl who happens to be a vampire. This is no Twilight folks, so don't be afraid to watch it.

If any of you have seen it, what do you think?

Happy Monday.

Spring is in the air!

So I just got back from the market and these are the things I witnessed on my walk home.

1. Nine people playing football in front of a lake-sized puddle. It just sceamed disaster. If I wasn't carrying groceries I would have stopped to see the outcome.

2. A couple flying a kite. Very Mary Poppins. I'll admit it...I was going to ask if i could join them.

3. A man sitting on the hill reading a book. The view from Riverdale Park is really quite remarkable. This man had the right idea.

4. A group of little kids playing tag.

I guess this balmy 8 C is bringing out the springtime attitude in us.

Happy Monday!
