you know..


i love fall, i really do...just the smells that come around during that time fill me with some sort of nostalgia, but the fact that winter is just around the corner ruins my true ability to embrace fall with open arms. i have been known to hibernate during winter, ive realized that i am just not a person who was made for New England seasonal changes. I dont like to be frozen to the core, straight to the bone, i dont like winter sports, and i hate snow...i hate driving in it, walking in it, shoveling it, i HATE IT. so, in order for me to keep away from it as much as i can i stay inside, cozy in my bed watching movies or renting various television series.
i just received a movie the other day from Netflix which i really loved, its called Falling Angels. sounds a bit religious, i know but its not. The acting is good, the story is good...its just a family surviving the struggle of life and death. and for a mental health clinician, that is right up my alley-------you should really see it.

greta gerwig....(information taken from papermag.com)
i saw "hannah takes the stairs" first and fell in love with this girl, i love her voice, her bedroom blue eyes and her talented ways. i suggest you chek her out.
Greta Gerwig could well be the muse of mumblecore. Immediately endearing and unaffected, the 26-year-old Gerwig has gone from playwright to player in the burgeoning mumblecore movement -- the low-budget, talkie-based, Richard-Linklater-meets-American-Apparel-meets-some-dude's-kitchen genre taking hold by way of filmmakers Mark Duplass (The Puffy Chair), Andrew Bujalski (Mutual Appreciation) and Ry Russo-Young (Orphans), among others. After agreeing to take cellphone pictures of herself for mumblecorian Joe Swanberg's film LOL, Gerwig left Brooklyn for Chicago to make Swanberg's next film, the beautiful, rambly Hannah Takes the Stairs. The film, which follows a college grad and aspiring playwright named Hannah (Gerwig), feels less like a movie and more like a collection of real-life scenes caught on tape by a hand-held digital camera. Of the mumblecore-ic tendency to elevate a random conversation into art: "People are suddenly like, 'Wow, there's a lot happening in my kitchen -- I don't need to go so outside of myself to find something that's quietly epic,'" says Gerwig. As all eyes in the indie film world look upon these young auteurs, Gerwig is fast emerging as the ingenue of the bunch with a laundry list of upcoming films. "I've always liked art that has come out of some sense of a movement. I always relish in these ideas of, you know, Gertrude Stein buying Picassos and introducing these people to other people. I like the idea of being part of a movement -- even if it's a badly named movement."

rumors

this summer has been a fleetwood mac, well every summer should be a fleetwood mac summer. i have always loved their uniqueness, they had a thing all their own. my friend monika told me once that i resembled the keyboardist christine mcvie, and even though these pictures really dont do her justice, i considered that a complete and utter compliment. PLUS check out their impeccable fashion sense!
