This weekend was a big celebration of nothing to do, yay! I slept in Saturday morning, and sort of cleaned my room which turned more into a feng shui-ing event. So now the furniture is in new places and it still looks like I just moved in. Someday, the paint in my garage for my walls will be used.

I did, however, buy some black spray paint and started making things I got for free look like I bought them at Ikea. I also researched some prints online and might even buy them tomorrow. Do you understand the magnitude of this statement? Twenty months I've been living here and taking "before" pictures and soon, SOON!, I could have "after" pictures.

When I wasn't motivating myself with to do lists, I managed to see two movies. I was really excited because I've only seen like three movies this summer before now and I have a lot of catching up to do. At least TiVo makes it really easy to rent movies. House Bunny was Legally Blonde meets Girls Next Door meets Never Been Kissed. It didn't have a very good feminist message, but it could have been worse... like it could have actually been Girls Next Door. It was funny though and also endearing and there is an Aztec-themed party which is AWESOME.

Henry Poole Is Here is nice and indie with an excellent, excellent cast and a good story about hope and faith. It has received some bad reviews, mostly for not handling the questions of hope and faith carefully enough. I disagree though, thinking it was good because it handled those questions in the first place. It's a thinking movie, but not painful. I'd see it again. Also, it was filmed in my town. So, wooo!

Now I need to go check my spray paint job in the dark. Cross your fingers I don't lose steam.
