I've had three different jobs in three different counties this year. moved back to my home city and started the "real world"--as i put it in quotations because if waking up at 5am and working numerous hours without feeling fulfilled is the real world then give me fantasy any day...
to keep this post light and the fantasy heavy, here is the Oh to Be a Muse compilation of the best movies of 2009. if you haven't seen every movie on my list then you're definitely missing out. most of these should be on dvd by now anyway.
.:movies:.
defiance....................whip it
taken........................precious
coraline....................brothers
adventureland........avatar
star trek..................zombieland
up.............................inglourious basterds
hurt locker..............district 9
i think the most underrated movie on this list would be "whip it" because it was low budget and didn't get much screen play. but it was laugh-out-loud funny and very different. reminded me of the comedies of yesteryear.
"precious" and "brothers" were the pull-at-ur-heart-strings movies and with good reason. while "avatar," "coraline," "district 9" and "star trek" provided the best visual stimulation along with great acting (district 9, in particular) and great stories.
oh, and i know there are others not on this list, but i just haven't gotten around to seeing them yet--but i will.

so i'm on vacation for two weeks and it's awesome! i had a zany hat part, saw some old faces, ate some crazy good red velvet cheesecake, am in the process of celebrating both hanukkah and christmas, spending more time reading, staying up late and sleeping in, enjoying cruzan, performing in a singing class, and will be leaving for California in less than a week!
