now that the holidays are officially over and i'm not running to and fro, i wanted to make a post thanking those who sent me christmas/holiday cards. i apologize that i couldn't return the favor this year, but i loved getting them! (hopefully next year i won't be such a suckass.)

so thank you helygen, paksenarrion2, outoftime, bratalie, austin154, janni518, schnappycat, slackerace, herowlness, chi2cali, maidofawesome and quaintshopgirl. i loved seeing all the different cards! especially the homemade one a la maidofawesome! and the ones with pictures of you or your family members! ( i hung them up on my doors. )

i'm also going to take this opportunity to post my 100 movies in 2008 list. i didn't quite make it to 100 this year, but i think a lot of that had to do with there not being a whole lot of movies released that i cared to see. here's hoping 2009 is a better year for movies and me!

i have achieved my goal of watching 100 movies in 2007!! yay!! i even have two days to spare to watch more than that if i so choose. it was really touch and go there for a while on whether i'd actually get this accomplished. i really fell behind after the middle of the year. i enjoyed doing it though. i like being able to go back and see what movies i've seen this year and how i felt about them. i may do it again next year.

now i suppose i should choose a favorite. it's kind of tough, actually. there were many that i would never watch again(though for differing reasons), but there were also plenty that i ended up watching more than once this year. i really don't think i could choose between Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and The Departed as my favorite. very different movies, but both fabulous. honorable mentions go to Zodiac and Stardust.

The Departed? WOW. was Leo seriously not nominated for Best Actor for an Oscar? damn. i do believe this is now my favorite Leo movie. did anybody else feel like Matt Damon was just playing Matt Damon? could be my severe dislike of him, but he does cocky asshole very, very well. obviously this means 100 Movies has been updated. 17 movies in 5 weeks? not a bad start.


*cough**uncough*

Happy Birthday expatiates and sophiap!!!!

100 Movies has been updated.

everyone else is doing it and since i've started out the year so well, i figured why not?
