Planning to spend Friday night waiting in line until 12:01am - kinda sad.
Having your plans changed and spending the weekend at a cottage with the need to be social - new plan needed.
Driving 2 hours to the nearest town during one of the most beautiful days of the summer - dedication.
I finished the book on Monday night and....and...I don't know what to say. I feel that JK Rowling did a tremendous job tying up all the loose ends and answering everyone's questions. I especially liked being able to see "19 Years Later" and having a glimpse. It is all a little bittersweet though...no more cheering Harry on in his exploits, or laughing at the Weasley twins' highjinx...I wonder how JK Rowling feels. Perhaps like a parent letting go of now-grown up child - she's done all the nurturing she can do, now she has to let go....
Now, all us Muggles have to look forward to is the movies. I think the 7th movie will be a blockbuster - so much action! Can't wait!
Following in Target and H&M's trend, Kohl's has a new high-end designer label coming. Starting in September, Simply Vera will be unveiled to the masses with huge TV & print ad pushes.
I love the Wizard of Oz theme she has going on with the collection. The line runs from $12 - $128 - more expensive than the normal fare at Kohl's.
Yet another reason to head to Buffalo for a day of shopping!
Went out to Panorama last week and loved it. We were relegated to the North-facing side of the balcony, but still had awesome views of the city. We had a few drinks and nibbled on apps, and I have to say, I'm no food connoisseur, but they made the tastiest bruschetta I have ever had. For anyone who hasn't been (am I the only one?), I highly recommend a visit - see you there!
Sunshine illuminates Danny Boyle's tremendous talent. From Trainspotting to The Beach to 28 Days Later, Boyle's visual effects are his staple and they truly shine in his newest masterpiece. Sunshine takes place in the near future when the sun starts to fail. In order to save humankind, a ship is sent out with a "payload" to begin a new star in the core of the dying one. Much like Armageddon and Deep Impact, we have a handful of individuals charged with saving Earth. But the main difference is the "Cheese Factor" - Boyle's film does not concentrate on the heroic task that these people have undertaken, but instead focus on the human interaction between the crew and the cost of human frailty. Visually stunning with awesome scenes of Mercury and the Sun, my vote is to go see this in IMAX.
Love the layers and ruffles!
