and now for something completely different

Today's movie is Confidence and compared to the last two, it's a confection. Yummy! It's a caper/con game movie, and I love 'em. I feel like I need to watch it a couple of more times (but I know I won't) in the hope of figuring out which actions are part of the con and which are mistakes/happenstance/real life. I'm pretty sure it wasn't all planned. In terms of cinemnatography, this wasn't anything to write home about. In a twisted sort of way, it's a relief-- I'm glad to know that there haven't been a gazillion fabulous movies and I've just been missing 'em all.

If you like caper movies, though, it's a keeper.

(no subject)

1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
Mr. Rogers, Spike Lee, Holly Hunter, Carl Reiner

2. Where was your first kiss?
On a school bus en route to the State Fair

3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else's property?
No.

4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Nope

5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?
Yes

6. What's the first thing you notice about the preferred sex? Geez, I don’t know. It’s a package deal.

7. What really turns you on?
Hm. I like nice hands. Broad shoulders, narrow waist. Intelligence, sense of humor. Flirting. Package deal, again.

8. What do you order at Starbucks?
Mocha. If I’m bothering to get coffee from Sbux I’m not going to waste my time with skinny, either. I do decaf for medical reasons.

9. What is your biggest mistake?
I’m of the school of thought that you deal with where you are. I’ve done some silly things but probably nothing I’d change; I am the sum of everything I’ve done.

10. Ever hurt yourself on purpose?
No, never.

11. Say something totally random about you.
I’m not so good with motivation, but I paint purty good.

12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
Never.

13. Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?
Never did, not really. I always read a lot.

Yep.

15. Are you comfortable with your height?
Yes. Occasionally in a crowd I wish I were taller but mostly I don’t care.

16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the preferred sex has done for you?
Single rose on a date? Took me to a good restaurant? I’m not so much with the romantic. Makes me feel awkward instead of special. Chocolate is always good, though.

17. When do you know it's love?
Good lord, I dunno. Maybe when you want to be with them all the time, and think/hope it’s for the rest of your life?

18. Do you speak any other languages?
No

19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
No

20. What magazines do you read?
My parents gave me a scrip to Reader’s Digest, which fact I find amusing. I used to get Rolling Stone, which made a fun combo in the mailbox. Sometimes I read news magazines online, especially Salon.com.

21. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
Nope

22. Has anyone you were really close with passed away?
Not really

Religious conservatives

Chocolate. The beach. Reading. Reading on the beach w/ a box of chocolates?

26. Do you like Michael Jackson?
Not since I watched MTV

27. Can you dance?
No good with steps. I used to have fun doing the booty-shaking kind of dancing.

28. What's the latest you have ever stayed up?
Lots of all-nighters in Architecture school. I’ve had some fun all-nighters, too.

If they're someone I'm interested in learning more about
