Movie Madness
I finally almost done with stuff for the holidays. I've sent off packages, wrapped everything and handed out just about everything I had to give and went way over budget. It's been really good to have a break from school, of course just about all my time has been taken up by various things that have come up, mostly extra shifts at work. But I'm also had some time to try and bring back my old website (it's almost there) and to catch up with movie watching at the theater.
I started the break off visiting the Avelon theater in SE Portland. It's only $2.50 a ticket and I figured that was worth it enough to see Ponyo one last time before it left theaters. I also visited Cinemagic for the first time in seven years to watch A Serious Man. I can't believe it took me two months to get around to seeing it, but it was worth paying for.
I've also managed to fit in the following: Precious, The Road, Good Hair, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Ninja Assassin, Invictus, Brothers, RiffTrax Christmas Shorts, A Christmas Carol 3D, The Princess and the Frog, Avatar 3D, 2012, and The Blind Side. Those last three I managed to watch in one sitting, finally finishing off everything on my list. And for those who are curious, Avatar's story line is nothing really to talk about but I haven't seen such amazing visuals since the LOTR trilogy.
Not much is going on for Christmas here. I'll most likely be working non stop starting Wednesday, but I'll have the night of the 24th off so I might be able to drop off![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Hi Jess :)
So, I have an extraordinary request. Do you mind getting a Christmas present late? As in... January? I don't think anything I could get now would be what you would really like. And while I am there, we could have dinner, or lunch, or even breakfast if that is your only free time. I'd like to catch up. :) In fact, if you would like to see Avatar again, I would be happy to spring for an IMAX ticket? Let me know!
Look forward to seeing you on the 24th in any case... sorry again for being so damn unorganized. >_< Working on that.
