Long time, no post...

Thanks to our cousin Kilee, she reminded my that we have been slacking on our blog. So here's what I've been doing (in a nutshell)...

During Christmas I was able to spend some time with my favorite niece and had a blast with her.
For Kat's birthday, we went to Glen Ivy. I loved it there and plan to go back again soon. I highly recommend the Hot Springs to everyone. The mineral bath, mud bath and lounge pools are amazing! Next time I will be trying out the grotto in addition to the other baths. If you're looking for spa services, I would stick with your current fave, the massage was relaxing but I've had better.

Movies (in no particular order):
Avatar - was not impressed, as a matter of fact, I fell asleep. But I can't say I hated the movie, I just didn't think it lived up to the hype. We'll see what Hollywood thinks March 7.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus - A tad bit weird, hard to follow. Great Art Direction!! :-p
Precious - True to the book, touching story made a good movie.
The Blind Side - Another touching story, enjoyed the movie and the acting. Congrats to Sandra on her nom.
Up in the Air - Liked the story, liked the characters = good movie, worth watching.
The Lovely Bones - Haven't read the book yet but would like to, the movie was a bit slow and some parts could've been deleted but overall was enjoyable to me.
Fantastic Mr. Fox - Very cute, I could definitely watch this movie over and over.
The Hurt Locker - Loved this movie, I was on edge pretty much the whole time. Although it's an intense movie, I could watch this one over and over as well.
Invictus - I have to admit, I did doze off during this movie but not because I thought it was boring but because it was a late movie, but some scenes could've been shorten. Still a movie I would recommend.
District 9 - Interesting movie, didn't think I wanted to see this when it was first released. I was forced to watch it during my Christmas break (my dad rented it). I was impressed, good movie.
Nine - I was looking forward to seeing this movie because I am a big fan of Daniel Day Lewis. This movie was a disappointment, not sure what it was about - maybe some Italians or some people in Italy trying to make a movie - or maybe neither. Need to read the synopsis so I can figure out what it was I watched. Daniel Day Lewis is still an amazing actor to me, hopefully his next movie will make up for this.
Food, Inc - only saw the ending of this movie. I will have to watch it from the beginning (obviously) but from what I saw, looked interesting.

Coming up - Julie and Julia, Adventureland and Valkyrie

I'm back in school and super busy at work so I won't get to watch movies as often as I'd like or other things for that matter but I'll keep you posted on any raves, reviews & rejects I experience.
