I know, I know...bad Josey! I've been trying to find some time to add new posts but I have less than two weeks to edit my short film, plus I'm moving across the province at the end of May and I have a million little things to do.
I'm currently transferring all of my footage onto a new workstation and I have about 2 hours of hang time...it's a good thing I brought my laptop today.
10. Teapots. Anyone who knows me is aware of my intense love for tea, tea ware and anything in between. That said, yah teapots!
9. Jelly Beans. Mmmmm, jelly bellies!
8. Luc Besson's new film: Les Aventures Extraordinaires d'Adele Blanc-Sec. Check out the trailer below, it looks kick ass! Plus it's french and directed by Luc who also did The Fifth Element.
7. Pot Bellied Pigs. I recently moved on from hamsters to piggies....Dave isn't impressed. Haha.
6. Record Players. I love vinyl; I love the sound, the look, the feel. I want a pretty little record player to play my collection. I'm supposed to get one this summer, but I don't know if I'll have room for the whole system in my new apartment.
5. Making French Toast with David. Watching him attempt to crack an egg with one hand is simultaneously cute and funny; plus, it's more fun to make!
4. Ruffles. Who doesn't love a little cuteness in their lives?
3. edamame. It's my new go to snack! I'm obsessed with them.
2. Lush Cosmetics. I recently discovered the greatness that is Lush Cosmetics. My friend has been trying to convince me for years but I could never bring myself to spend 15$ on something as weird as shampoo in a bar form. Well, I finally bought some and I'm in love! I got the kind for blonde hair and it leaves my whole head happy!
1. Hair Cut. So I've been trying to grow out my hair, mostly because I'm too poor and have no time to visit a hairstylist. I'm not used to having such long hair and its starting to drive me insane; plus it looks like crap, if anything, I need a trim. So I'm debating wether I aught to cut it really short of keep a medium length. Here a few cuts that I like but ignore the dye jobs, I'd be keeping my natural blonde.
Music: 4 out 5 (not particularly memorable, but also not jammed with a bunch of indie songs, which is good as I kinda hate watching an indie movie full of indie music. It feels like a cop out to get a certain group of people to watch it, and more often than not you hear the same songs after a while.)

The BF and I rented a couple of movies this weekend and the first one we watched was Adam. A bittersweet, indie movie about a young man named Adam who has a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome. A young woman moves into his building and a love story of sorts ensues. I really liked the ending as it doesn't end how you would expect it to; the character growth leaves you feeling happy for the film's outcome and its characters.
I was slightly surprised by the IMDB boards however, as most complaints of the film seemed to either be about how the character was too handsome or under/over exaggerated. As far as I can tell, the debate was pretty equal on both sides with a lot of comments by people with Asperger's weighing in.
Frankly I loved every minute of the film. Adam's character came off as slightly strange but very endearing because of the syndrome and almost childlike; in a way I understand Beth's frustration, but I definitely think that she could have been a little bit nicer to Adam, especially since she worked with kids during the day and thus should of had a bit more patience. All in all, if you have a chance to see this, go for it. It's a pretty good film which has a few laughs but also warms the heart. Oh and definitely check out the alternate ending if you watch it on DVD. I like the original ending better, but Dave and I both agree that the last line from the alternate ending should have been added to the end of the original version. Did I mention it stars Hugh Dancy... and he wears an astronaut suit? Awesomeness is what that is, ladies and gents.
