SFIFF is here! Yippee!

This year's 54th San Francisco International Film Fest is here. I've got my tickets but and my volunteer shift, do you have yours? You should really think about going they've got great movies. Check them out at http://www.sffs.org/sf-intl-film-festival.aspx

I can not wait. I am trying not to go to the movies but SFIFF had a screening and I got to see Henry's Crime with Keanu Reeves who I haven't seen in ages. He is so hot! I miss him. The movie was good but I think they could have gotten a better actress to be his love interest, Vera Farmiga just doesn't do it for me and she was playing a crappy actress in local theater.

But otherwise it was a great movie and had a very wonderful cast James Cann and Fisher Stevens to name a few. I really enjoyed it and think you should definitely see it.

I went old-skool roller skating last year!

I went old-skool roller skating....Last year!

Last year for my 40th birthday my friends surprised me and took me to a roller skating rink in Redwood City. It was on my list of things I wanted to do. And it is something I want to do again and again. We had a blast and dressed up 70's style but I am not allowed to show you the pictures. Everybody was completely against it especially me!  Did not look cute, trust me.

Reading for 2011

I didn't think I would get that much reading done but I did have spring break and summer so I should be able to power through some books.

I've read so far:
1. Real World by Natsuo Kirino
2. Between Friends by Debbie Macomber a real tear jerker.
3. Little Altar's everywhere by Rebecca Wells - nice Southern book

then I went to a book sale and got
4. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
5. Star Struck by Pamela Anderson
6. The Butt by Will Self - it a book about quitting smoking and I just noticed the authors name. I am not really sure about this one.
7. Dry (a memoir) by Augusten Burroughs
8. The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli (I thought I would re-read this because I had to power through this for school so maybe I'll get something out of it this time. But I just read the back and think not.)
9. Uncle Tom's Cabin By Harriet Beecher Stowe (I've always wanted to read this so I am kind of dying for school to be over to sink into this.)
10. Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles by Margaret George (this is really thick so I have no idea how I will finish it but I love historical novels so who knows.)
I got all these for $7!

I also went to a book signing, my first, to see Sarah Vowell. I bought one of her book that I think I will truly enjoy
11. Take the Cannoli (she was so fun to see and I just love her voice.)
12. Let's Kill Uncle By Rohan O'Grady
