we had a lot of snow today.

leah measured about 10 inches on her deck tonight, and my jeans are wet up to my knees.

recently viewed.

when did you last see your father? : sappy british flick. i'll watch anything with colin firth. that's just the way it is.

wonder boys : how on earth did i miss this one??? super great.

the boss of it all : silly and danish and has the girl from high fidelity, who is hilarious.

he was a quiet man : meh. i have a hard time watching christian slater in anything post 1990.

my new favorite movie is broken english. if you've seen it, and you know anything about me at all, you probably know why. it has been added to my shortlist of movies that i can watch a millions times without tiring of it. that being said, i watched it again last night. and my mom called at 6 this morning (forgetting the time difference), after which i couldn't get back to sleep. thus, my own version of the little rain cloud necklace was born around 7:30 this morning.

my favorite etsy version is here.

i'm currently waiting for the rental car place to pick me up, then i'm off to spend thanksgiving in northern kansas with my parents and grandma. i'm especially excited about:

sweet potatos
mashed potatos
home made rolls
(starch, anyone?)
5 cup salad (please be there. please please)
punkin pie
roaming around the tiniest town in america with my polaroid
crochet time
spending 3 days not worrying about how i'm going to pay my bills

hope you all have a great holiday! thank a native american for being alive!

more than anything in the world, all i want right now is a thai iced tea.

before 6am

printed so many resumes my printer ran out of ink.

as they say, i've got "the fear."
also, rent.

oh, netflix.

netflix recommended a movie to me today solely based on my ratings of fantastic planet and alice. how could i not just go ahead and put it in my queue?

and apparently there is a remake of fantastic planet in the works? i don't quite understand why. it's hard to improve upon french speaking, naked, cartoon aliens. or whatever they are.

i finally watched pan's labyrinth tonight.
i still don't know how i feel about it.
too much gore for my taste.
and not enough fairy tale.
but whatever.

i started crocheting a huge blanket a few months ago, and then suddenly decided to stop. i'm not sure why. but i picked it back up tonight (it managed to keep my eyes busy while that poor fella had his nose bashed to smithereens) and i think i might be hooked (heh). maybe i'll actually finish it before next winter. maybe. if i can get through the end of the first skein...

it snowed like crazy today- which was a nice surprise since it hadn't been forecast at all. it was lovely. and bitterly cold.

my mom is awesome.

"have i told you about my new dragon?"

word.

a hilarious word from our favorite canadian.

view large!

also, more election humor from McSweeney's! (soooooo good)
