Blogs and Weekend Fun

Last week I was featured on Vegan Craftastic's blog. Check out the interview and stay around for her awesome knitting! Thank you again for featuring me!

My boyfriend Matt started a blog: http://www.alwayswrongfilm.com/ this weekend.Expect more film and music reviews from him!

Speaking of Matt we made a day date to the Stockton and Elk Grove on Saturday. Matt and I stocked up on hard to find movies and music at Rasputin, looked at the Halloween goodies at Home Goods (my mom and aunt love this place so I wanted to check it out), checked out the mall and discovered a 40% off Blue Ray special at Barnes and Noble (our store does not have a movie/music section or a section on film in books!).
We took a different route to Elk Grove and wanted to check out some fancy houses, so we made a U turn in the parking lot of  Nugget Market, I have never been and was curious to what was inside. I found some vegan beauty goods and cereal bars that I cannot find in Modesto. I guess Nugget Marget is like Whole Foods mixed with a traditional store. Further down the road we stopped at Loving Hut and had Thai iced tea, drum sticks and the best ever veggie burger! Matt ordered off their new menu, he had the BBQ soy protein with mashed potatoes, now I want to try to find out what the soy protein was! We packed up some flan and headed home. It was a fun day!

My Favorite Movies

I often get asked what my favorite movies are - I think people might expect valuable movie insight due to the fact I am living with a movie/music video director. These are my favorite all time movies for various reasons, they stood out after one viewing and each are so different!



Dear Wendy - after watching this movie I was just in love with it. It is a bit indie, a bit western and all out awesome. The soundtrack is provided by the Zombies which elevates it to a even higher level!



Fat Girl - This movie has subtle ways of making you emotionally attached, at least I felt that pull. Growing up I had beautiful swan like friends that made me feel so much lower than what I was due to looks. I can appreciate the subtle beauty of this movie. The ending is shocking, and comes out of left field, it drew me in even more!



Wrist Cutters - I know suicide is such a hard subject to move around but this movie takes it to another level. It is dark, it is light, it makes you think, it makes you laugh. It is one of those movies that you need to watch to understand every day life.



Biutiful - We went in just wanting to watch and support foreign film, not knowing what this was about. We left tear stained and touched. This movie is sad - I will not lie, it sticks with you for days.

What are your favorite movies?
