And I've officially been bitten by the Avatar bug, it isn't consuming me yet but I'm really interested now...
  • Out now:
New York, I Love You
Feel like it might be a letdown when compared to Paris, I Love You just because that one KICKED ASS. I have the 2 Disc Edition at home I watch the shorts over again and also the Behind the Scenes over and over again. So, we'll see with NY, I'll matinee it.

Where the Wild Things Are
Waiting for DVD, sorry I've heard such horrible things and that's just so sad. Seriously it was hard enough for me to write "waiting for the DVD" just now, don't make me talk about it.

Whip It
I was DYING to see this in theaters, seriously couldn't wait but NO ONE wanted to go so I may wait for this on DVD as well. I love Ellen Paige though, she's like a younger version of Kristin Stewart and makes such good choices on which films to do.



Books...
Chuck Klosterman-all of his works including Fargo Rock City which is being adapted into a screenplay by the lead singer of The Hold Steady, Craig Finn, and The Late Show With David Letterman writer Tom Ruprecht.

Disneyland...
How could I NOT have a DL section?! The most in depth behind closed doors tour EVER!

Food...
One of the great perks about my job is the ability for lunch to be paid for everyday, catered, awesomeness. And most of the time we get pretty sweet stuff...let me introduce you to TOAST:

The end...

Beer:30 on a Friday afternoon, hooray.
