Classics... finally I agree.

Eric and I recently watched the movie Swing Time, as a part of Eric's quest to conquer the AFI's top 100 movies. I really enjoyed this movie. Finally I watched a film that lived up to all the hype. Sorry, but some of these so called classics, and best movies ever made, to me, just don't seem to make the grade. I'm really happy to find a film that I can add to my favorite classic movies list. It is not very often that I see a movie that to me, really is a classic, one that I would want to watch over and over again. Ginger Rogers is about one of the most fabulous leading ladies I've watched in a long time. Not only is she extremely cute, she has a fierce personality and dance moves that will knock your socks off. I wasn't so sure about Fred Astaire being a leading man in the beginning of this movie, as he does not possess that usual "look" that leading men seem to have, but by the end of the movie I would've married the guy. His dance solo toward the end of the movie is crazy good. This is a fun romantic musical that I would recommend to anyone. Also some recommends off my fav. classics list, (in case anyone was wondering) would be: Auntie Mame (also fav. movie of all time), Pillow Talk, Breakfast at Tiffany's, North by Northwest, An Affair to Remember, and Charade.

Amber... this is your life

Do you ever feel like you living someone else's life? I've said a couple of times recently that I feel as if I am an actor in my own life, just playing a part... and I'm not a very good actor. I play different roles, depending on what I'm doing, where I am, sometimes playing the part depending on who someone else needs me to be, and only recognizing a small version of myself. It's like I'm watching myself and going really? that's who you decided to be today? It's like my writing, sometimes I feel I am not able to convey what I am trying to say, who I really am, and who I want to be. The only time I truly feel myself is around my husband, dog, cat, and some family and some friends... sometimes. Maybe I'm just having a version of an early mid-life crisis. I do have my 10yr reunion this year, and it's a mile-marker, a reminder of where you thought you would be at this time in life, and where you currently sit. This is not to say I'm not happy with my life, I am lucky in life where others never will be. But, it's all about evaluating, and setting new goals for myself, and then I can get closer to being the true me and not a B version actor of me.
