to begin...again?

After recently watching the movie Julie & Julia (fabulous by the way), and currently watching a marathon of my own collection of the series- Sex and the City... I've decided to try this whole blogging thing again.
I've been experiencing all these new things, I've been trying to write my book and although I am a big believer in writing with pen and paper first, I've going to get this blog going and attempt to write in it every day, if not, every other day.
I want to write about books I'm reading or have read. Quotes that I collect, movies and shows I watch... that sort of thing. Not just the everyday mundane- I'm having a bad day, blame the world bull. Really, and truly WRITE.


So... Julie & Julia- loved the whole blogging aspect, but- left me with questions. The idea of cooking through a cook book and writing about it- genius. The questions- why would this Julie girl talk about wanting to meet this amazing woman she calls her hero, cook through her cook book- the whole point of the movie itself- and not get to meet her in the end! UGH! All she mentions is that she was alive at the time and didn't like her blog... the end! Annoying. I hate when movies leave me wanting more. Or, when they leave me asking questions. I bet it was because Meryl Streep didn't want to wear make-up to make her look old, when she's already getting up there.
Next, my Sex and the City marathon. I'm in the second season and I've having all these weird deja-vu memories pop up. Like a certain episode I watched with Rich (college love I never had). Hearing their viewpoints on children- thinking about how I totally agreed- and now I totally disagree being a mother of one now. Some of the episodes are neurotic and would never happen in real-life. Some are insightful- especially the break-up rules one (one of my favs). Overall, enjoying them again. Something I look forward to as I continue running with my eyes closed through this last 2wk push of school. Life is a little chaotic right now, but I'm enduring, fighting, rising to the challenge and kicking ass. All I can ask for. Oh and it helps having my biggest fan standing in my corner :)
