Happy Halloween

My NY friends are in town and they are outlet shopping without me. (I couldn't steal a day from work since I've depleted my time-off days.) I'm so excited to party with them for Halloween! We've decided to take the easy route this year and make our own sailor costumes. I need help on the shoes though. To match or to comfort?

If my friends and I ever decide that we are over the whole Halloween scene, we will turn to entertaining ourselves in a different Halloween style:



Party hard! Stay warm in those "naughty [insert character]" costumes!

Coco

I finally watched Coco avant Chanel.

This is exactly the kind of film I love to watch, significant stories about real people and their affairs. And you love everything that happens in the movie until you go home to google more about the love story and realize what you saw was not exactly the truth. Of course things were changed to enhance the movie experience, but I can't help but want what I saw to be exactly the truth. (Same situation with Becoming Jane.)

Away We Go

Boys often dislike romcom because it maps out the "perfect relationship" that girls aspire their relationship to be like. Whether it is the bad boy turned good scenario, or the grand gesture in the rain, most girls want the Tom Hanks to their Meg Ryan, the Mr. Bigs of the world.

When I watch couples on screen, my favorite relationships are those that show love that will never fade, that even 30 years later, the love they had in their first year is still as strong in their 30th year together.

I just finished watching Away We Go. Bert and Verona go up there in my favorite on screen couple list, along with Noah and Allie (Notebook) and Jack and Kate (The Family Man).

I'm sad that I've neglected to blog. But it's a new season and I'm back!

I ended summer with a girls trip to Hawaii, a week of sun, sand, and adventure. We did everything you can possibly do (except skydiving and visiting a volcano [but in my defense, there weren't any active volcanoes on Oahu]). Having spent almost the entire summer indoors in the office, I forgot what it looked like to be tan. While most people's summer tan had faded away, mine's still staying strong... at least for another couple of weeks or so.

It finally cooled down and rained here in LA. It's officially fall now. Autumn is the type of season where you want to stay in and just hang out with your friends, bake some holiday treats and watch movies.

I'm probably really late to report, but I'm sad that Nine moved to December and I can't wait for this issue to come out.
