Hello, Hello, hello:)

So I can never think of a name or title as its put for my blog entries. Its just this problem of mine each time, so I just put whatever. Today its "Hello, Hello, hello:)" Good enough, hehe.

Easter weekend was good, I spent a night over my sister's and two over my parents. I watched about 4 movies, Doubt, The Secret Life of Bees, Australia, and Marley and Me(again). Doubt was by far my favorite, the acting was amazing and it had two of my favorite actors in it(Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman) Great story line, a real thinker. Speaking of Philip Seymour Hoffman, about 2 weeks ago I finally watched Synecdoche New York................another great film but definitely a mind boggler. Oh, you gotta love Netflix, I have been a member of them for like 3 years and its always just great to have movies delivered to you. Cheaper to.

One movie I am really looking forward to is Grey Gardens with Drew Barrymore(its airing on HBO on April 18th)



Last Summer me and Will watched the Grey Garden documentary from 1975 which was done by the Maysles brothers.



It was such an intriguing piece about two of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis family members who lived out on the South Fork of Long Island( The Hamptons) Very eccentric women living in their family house in total isolation and if I do say so myself, pretty messy and unkempt. I dont know if you have ever been out to the Hamptons, but there are some very beautiful houses out there, big grand houses. Their house though back then was like a sore thumb and they had huge problems with the Suffolk County Health Department. Anyway, you must see the documentary and then see the film. Interesting stuff, a side of such a well known family that you probably didnt know about.

Tonight I am going to see the Broadway play "9 to 5". I vaguely remember the film(is that bad? I remember Dolly Parton in it though) But I was invited along and of course I said yes, who could say no to a free play? Plus Allison Janney is in it, which is pretty cool. I will be sure to let you know how it was tomorrow.

This weekend should be a somewhat busy one. On Friday my sister and her friend are having a Pampered Chef party and me and my friend are gonna go(we dont cook much though) Then on Saturday I will be going to pick up alot of stuff that I had left behind at an ex roomates home about 2 years ago. Lots of pictures and things that I havent seen in awhile, im a tad excited about this. I believe I have a whole summer of pictures that I will be getting back, hopefully I can scan them and get them up on the computer.

Oohh, I want to see all four of those, but they haven't made there way up the queue yet! :)

I was wondering what Gray Gardens was all about, kept seeing ads but wasn't sure the importance! Thanks for telling a little, I'm intrigued.

Allison Janney! Love her.

wow this post is way up my alley. I know I have recently discovered the joy of netflix (I know I am late bloomer:) And couple months ago finally got around to seeing grey gardens. It was so awesome. What a unique stranger than fiction story. But, you can't loving little and big edie. I already am on the netflix waiting list for the HBO version. Please do tell me what you thought of it? And how 9 to 5 was? Grey Gardens the musical is here and I might splurge and go.
Oh I have missed your blog:)
