tied up (with strings)

so.....
what's been up with you guys?
me? oh well..nothing much, really.
but here are a few things i've been up to,
and some lovely hints of things to come.


micaela's news was so hard to keep a secret! i'm SO, SO happy for max and her, this is truly the most wonderful piece of news and i CANNOT wait to hear all the moving and el paso stories! the weather is pretty insane there, so i have no doubt it will be a brilliant job for sir maxham and one great adventure for both of them.

yeah. i totally caved. and am now obsessed. watched the first season in about three days and am almost halfway through the second one. TOO good, too damn good.

saw black swan last week and LOVED IT. it is by far one of the best films i've ever seen and one of my most favorite performances by natalie portman. BUT, it isn't for everyone, haha, my friend carol hated it; it's got some 'graphic' stuff in it at times, but it didn't bother me too much as i was too interested to see what was going to happen to nina (portman) and this swan that seemed to be growing inside her. (but won't say any more, you have to see it for yourself! HAVE to!)

and speaking of possibly oscar canditates, i am more excited than words can express to see true grit sometime over the weekend. the whole cast in this movie looks so wonderful and i'm kind of a sucker for a funny-ish jeff bridges character, hehe.

AND

have taken about 300 or so photos for blogging recently, but have so overwhelmed with it, that i just sort of shut down and obviously haven't blogged at all for a bit. but! to start off some much needed and delayed blog therapy, i'll be posting about a giveaway thursday!

LOVE!
