Got my new glasses from Labrabbit. They RULE and I love them.<\/p>\n

5 parties. Took my third spin class. Got to catch up with Jenny and Jen at Lula. Fantastic weekend, but 5 parties [st. sebastian day, austin’s bday, jon & autumn’s schwarzenegger, liza’s pizza, eliza’s 30th] split between two days may be one too many parties.<\/p>\n

Tweekly Make: Moosewood Kitchen chili made with Upton’s instead of TVP. I’ve been making it for years, but it never gets old.<\/p>\n

Films watched 3rd week of the year:<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Nate & Margaret
\nSomewhere Between *
\nAny Day Now
\nThe Color of Pomegranates ** [Armenia]
\nThe Running Man<\/p>\n

*documentary
\n** foreign language<\/p>\n

I feel like a jerk, but I finally watched my friend Nathan’s film Nate & Margaret<\/a> and it was quite good. It is streaming on Netflix. I am proud of him for making such a sweet, fun, bittersweet film. Favorite scene was definitely the mug scene towards the end. <\/p>\n

Somewhere Between was an enjoyable documentary about Chinese girls who had been adopted by American families and are curious about their birth families\/how they came to be adopted. It was directed by a woman who was adopting a Chinese girl herself and the film is dedicated to her daughter. Having been adopted myself and finding my birth mother, I felt a lot of empathy for the girls in the film, but I wish the director had delved deeper and opened some doors that we only saw a peek at that were then slammed closed.<\/p>\n

Of note: I adapted my new year’s resolution from watching one foreign language film a week to watching a foreign language film from a different country every week. 52 different countries! This will happen. I would love to get recommendations for countries that will be hard to find films for. Countries knocked out so far: Japan, Italy, Armenia, Russia! Only 48 to go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
