Last night I discovered hazeofstars.

I adore Lolita. Adrian Lyne's made me fall head over heels for Jeremy Irons. I've been wondering what books to take with me, and I think I need to reread this one on the flight. Also, Memoirs of a Geisha could do with a rereading.

Because I totally know she's reading this:

I just got a message on MySpace from my bestest friend ever growing up...

*bounces around and around and around and around and...well...you get the idea*

*squeals and sends major big hugs out to Jessica*

...my mind just turned into a complete mushpile of squealing girliness...

We've been in touch off and on VERY sporadically since I've been in Michigan, and it always makes me jump for joy when she finds me again because I'm terrible at keeping in contact with people.

She's completely still my big sis :-D

This is one reason I make myself so easily available online: I like people I once knew and still love dearly being able to find me.

When Dan and I went and saw Narnia I noticed a stand-up for a new movie and had to do a double-take. "Are you kidding me?!?!? Tristan and Isolde?!" was the first thing out of my mouth. Dan looked at the stand-up and said, "That doesn't look like a Wagner opera to me."

Leave it to Dan :-P I knew it first as a story often mentioned around the Arthurian set (I've been into Arthurian legends since I was 11). When I saw "Before there was Romeo and Juliet..." I wasn't sure whether to be thrilled at the prospect of the Tristan and Isolde story on screen or terrified that they were going to entirely slaughter it. I got to see the trailer when I saw Memoirs of a Geisha, and they may still entirely slaughter it, but I'm too excited to care (and it's Ridley Scott, so it's probably going to be too attractive for me to care too much). Unfortunately, it opens the day I leave the state :-( I can tell right now that Sophia Myles is going to be my next female celebrity crush...because I'm not already madly in love with Scarlett Johannsen or Keira Knightly or anything...

Here's the site, with the trailer: http://www.tristanandisoldemovie.com

Who would have thought that changing a watchband was rocketscience? Certainly not me, but it seems to be shaping up to be.

Edit: Done! I received about five shredded-to-pieces nails in the process, but it's done. A note to you all: the Quartz HoloWatches are pretty awesome, but the bands are evil. If you ever have to change one, just razor the leather off before you attempt to take the stem out.
