Let's definitely meet up in Napa. I just thought of "Sideways" -- great movies keep occuring to me!<BR/><BR/>K,<BR/><BR/>I wrote you such a long comment -- and then our Internet cut out! So (2nd choice) I had to go do some ironing and watch a rather strange film called P.S. with Laura Linney. have you seen it?<BR/><BR/>So on the topic of movied: please see "No Country for Old Men." I just finished the book, too, and it was wonderful as well. I can't even put my finger on why I love this movie so much -- because "violence" is definitely a genre I avoid. Yes, I've seen and liked "Friends with Money" and "Lovely and Amazing." I also like Frances in "Laurel Canyon." She has something very tough and no-nonsense about her that I really admire.<BR/><BR/>Please do come to London; it's great. I will make myself available to ANYONE here for tours. (Just for K: I have an India Knight guide to shopping in London! HOW funny is that?)<BR/><BR/>Is Daphe Tabbytite a real name? I've definitely never met her. Where is she now? I graduated in 89.<BR/><BR/>Just buy a season of the GG and see if you like it; never mind that, I promise you will like it. I hope JJ comes over here! We just got Mad Men . . . we are always about a season behind.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-84613313356767666282008-03-21T20:35:00.000+00:002008-03-21T20:35:00.000+00:00lyle lovett?! you're so cool. when i was little my...lyle lovett?! you're so cool. <BR/><BR/>when i was little my dream was to be a waitress. my mom didn't cook so we had dinner out every night and waitresses were so fascinating to me. at 19 the dream finally came true... and ended 3 months later. it was hard work! but because i'm an ex-waitress i'm a great tipper.<BR/><BR/>i loved 2 says in paris also. did you know those were julie's real parents who played her parents?!<BR/><BR/>i haven't thought of cousins in ages, but i loved it when i caught it on cable years ago. must rent it soon.<BR/><BR/>ruth gordon is the greatest, i love how the same woman played maude and that kook in rosemary's baby. what a talent.<BR/><BR/>i just don't get raising arizona. and i hated fargo. i didn't see no country... because my husband told me i'd hate it. not that i listen to everything he tells me, but when it comes to violent movies i do usually defer to him. i think frances mcdormand is terrifc. i just don't get her husband & his brother! have you seen friends with money? she's so amazing in it. it's a nicole holofcener movie. love her. see lovely & amazing, too, if you haven't. <BR/><BR/>my friend daphe tabbytite went to trinity! she's a few years younger than you, but maybe your lives intertwined. you wouldn't forget her name!<BR/><BR/>london is number one on my must go to list. my friend jen is traveling thew world & is expecting to be in london in 09. i'm totally going. and you need to come meet up with me. i want to experience all the touristy london things, but i also want to go to tesco, and go to a bookstore and get all the india knight, etc, books i can't get here. i want to experience the life of a london mom and see how it differs from an american mom, or if it does at all.<BR/><BR/>my mother adores gilmore girls but i've never watched it. time to start. i love the new show "the return of jezebel james" (are they showing it there yet?) it's written by the gilmore girls lady. if GG is half as good as jezebel, i will love it.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04172344270571916666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-50848140838016577532008-03-21T15:18:00.000+00:002008-03-21T15:18:00.000+00:00Harold and Maude!!!

I think I'd have a grand time. <BR/><BR/>And I adore Terry Gross. She always seems to have such fun doing her interviews. <BR/><BR/><I>The Writer's Almanac</I> is a wonderful way to start the day. I used to be able to catch it on my way to work the first few years of grad school. <BR/><BR/>Do come back to Napa Valley!

I remember once making a comment about Gilmore Girls and someone shot back - Who in your house watches that? I suppose it is akin to me noticing a woman's shoes. It just isn't understood in some quarters.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I love Writer's Almanac. I am a big NPR listener, although I still hold a grudge over the whole Bob Edwards affair.<BR/><BR/>:)Brave Sir Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885043536453757210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-8224613844406410592008-03-21T10:38:00.000+00:002008-03-21T10:38:00.000+00:00BSR,My dream job would be to have free rein over m...BSR,<BR/><BR/>My dream job would be to have free rein over my own bookstore/cafe. This would combine all of my favorites: books, people, food, coffee, random chatting and new discoveries. All of the things that I loved about waitressing!<BR/><BR/>It is ridiculous, in a way, to pick just 4 movies. Now I wish that I had picked a Minghella film -- because I love them all.<BR/><BR/>How could anyone hate Cousins?<BR/><BR/>Is liking Gilmore Girls unfashionable? I thought there were some really "true" aspects to this show: how difficult family and romantic relationships can be. Plus, I loved the clever banter. It is the "Buffy" show that I have with my children.<BR/><BR/>Yes, tell me about your teaching fantasy and what it is that you want to teach; and who.<BR/><BR/>Maurinsky,<BR/>Thanks for visiting me! I've seen you at Brave Sir Robin's. If you see my post from Feb 29 you will find a May Sarton poem that I discovered on The Writer's Almanac. I was transported when I heard it. You know that feeling you get when poetry manages to express something so true? Something you've noticed, a bit unconsciously perhaps, but never really fixed your mind to think about?Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-45057625918667740242008-03-21T02:15:00.000+00:002008-03-21T02:15:00.000+00:00Writer's Almanac: I can't tell you how many mornin...Writer's Almanac: I can't tell you how many mornings I've wept in my kitchen as I'm getting ready for work, listening to a beautiful poem.maurinskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04398559432565869750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-84280690958826935602008-03-21T00:41:00.000+00:002008-03-21T00:41:00.000+00:00Ohhh tough one!!!(Because after my FAVORITE film, ...Ohhh tough one!!!<BR/><BR/>(Because after my FAVORITE film, how do i pick 2, 3 and 4?<BR/><BR/>I'll try to post by tomorrow morning.<BR/><BR/>Now - about yours, <BR/><BR/>Waitress - I've never been a waiter, but I would have made a damn good one. I always wanted to live in Austin and be a waiter a Katz Deli.????<BR/><BR/>Teacher - ahhhh, my dream job. If I ever tell you the tragic 5 part drama that is my life story, you will hear about my dream to teach.<BR/><BR/>Cousins - I saw that in the Theatre and loved it. I saw it with my friend Fred, his fiancee and my (then) wife. Fred and I loved it, the girls hated it. btw - Fred and his wife (not the same girl) have excellent taste in films.<BR/><BR/>Napa- ohhhh.:(<BR/><BR/>I actually really like Gilmore Girls, but it seems unfashionable to say so.<BR/><BR/>Northern Exposure was awesome!!!!
