Hello
from my couch.
It
is currently just after 1am and I am working my way though a Netflix
movie marathon of blast-from-the-past movies that are bringing back
great memories of college. I can't think of a better way to spend my
days off. The only problem is that I'm not ready to go back to work
later tonight.
My
movie selection:
Practical
Magic – I love magic movies and this is one of my very favorites.
Plus, Sandra Bullock is my very favorite actress. I debated watching
a couple of her other movies this weekend as I spotted Forces of
Nature and Two Weeks Notice in the Netflix options. I was telling Kenyon how I am still in love with Aiden Quinn and his amazing blue eyes.
The
Wedding Planner – I have always loved this one too. Another
contender with J-Lo is Maid in Manhattan. I am not a fan of J-Lo's
music but I enjoy her as an actress.
How
To Lose A Guy In 10 Days – Watching Matthew McConaughey in The
Wedding Planner made me think about How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days. It
is always a cute movie and I really enjoy Kate Hudson.
Somebody
Like You – I'm currently watching Someone Like You. I think back
in college I identified with Ashley Judd. In this movie she plays
the hopeless romantic that just wants to be loved but seems to pick
the wrong guy. I am sucker for those stories of love being right in
front of your nose. And hey, any movie that has Hugh Jackman and
Greg Kinnear in it has got to be good. The whole Cow Theory cracks
me up. That is my favorite party of the movie. “These are people
Jane, not cows!” P.S. Ashley Judd's hair is adorable in this
movie.
Other
contenders I saw while looking at my options were The Price & Me,
10 Things I Hate About You, and While You Were Sleeping (my very
favorite movie). The funny thing is I own all of these movies I have
discussed. But, since it is on Netflix and I can just jump from one
movie to the next vs. finding the DVD and starting it up. So, I'm
paying $9.99 a month to watch movies I own.
I
joined Netflix in December to watch the second season of Fuller House
and then used my 30-day free trial to watch Grace & Frankie (new
season starts March 24th). Once I finished those I still
had some time in my free trial so I started watching Gilmore Girls.
I watched all seven seasons (very long seasons) and then also
finished up the Netflix four-part re-boot series on Tuesday. I did a
lot of poking around the internet but I never actually knew what
exactly was all the hype about the last three words in the final
re-boot series. Now I know! Wow...what was quite a cliffhanger. We
will see if they continue with the series. I have to say though I
didn't like the four part series as well but maybe that was because
I'd just finished watching the full seasons and it was still fresh in
my mind. My favorite was Fall and I still miss Dean & Rory.
Watching
Gilmore Girls also provided me with fond memories of college. I
loved college and if I could do it again, I'd go back and I've have
even more fun. I sometimes miss college but I really love my life
now. I'm so glad I moved into the dorms my first two years as I know
that was part of what shaped my love for college. Plus, I worked on
campus at various offices and so my life consisted of college life
daily. Oh the memories.
