Hello Yellow.

RENTABLE: ADAM.

This thoughtful, unassuming film is both entertaining and educational. ADAM is a screenplay that follows a young man that has Asperger's Disorder.  Asperger's is a high functioning form of Autism.  At first glance many think he's eccentric.  But upon further inspection, it's obvious that he is different.  He doesn't pick up on social cues, or understand other's emotions.  Then he meets his new neighbor on the stoop.  And she is all things beautiful and vivacious.  She thinks that she has much to teach Adam, but she learns the most in the end.  Here's what my little brother Matt had to say on the flick;




"Adam was amazing! I thought it was Hugh Dancy's best work, even though I have not been fortunate to see all of his. Did you ever see Evening? It was slow paced, but incredibly beauiful to watch and Miz Claire Danes never fails. She is terrific. ANYWAYS, that movie was the first time I saw Hugh Dancy and Adam was a wonderful follow up :)"




Thanks for your review Matt.  And the recommendation!  Have a great weekend.  

The Reading Binge Continues.

The book [see previous post and title {here.}]is so stinking good.  I just had another crying fit reading another oh, so moving chapter. It's perfectly wonderful.  On a lighter note;  I love the doodles and comics sprinkled in the book.  They enhance the story and bring such playfulness for the reader.  I loved the above comic.  The top right picture reminds me of Bryan when he wears his black framed glasses. I'm tired, but so very happy and fulfilled.

Currently Reading.

I can't put this book down.  My dear friend Amber bought me the book titled, THE ABSOLUTELY TRUE DIARY OF A PART-TIME INDIAN, A Novel By:  Sherman Alexie.  It is the freshest piece of literature that I've read in such a long time.  I am completely smitten.  Within the first few pages I was laughing out loud, then crying because of my heart feeling like it was being compressed.  Maybe it's because I identify with growing up poor. Maybe it's because I understand what it's like to be labeled as "weird" my entire life.  Maybe it's because I'm married to a Native American that has had brushes with racism, and heard too many back sliding comments like Chief, and Sitting Bull.  Each heckler thinking they are very clever and exceedingly funny.  Maybe it's all of these reasons and more.  But I love this book.  I want to shout it from the roof tops.  I started it at 7pm.  And I'm sure I'll finish it tonight. 

Scenes From My Run.

Promotion Update.

On Monday Bryan started his promotion over at Space 15 Twenty.  Hooray!  He's loving it. And he's getting right to work building walls in the women's section for holiday.  Also, some additional exciting news;  Bryan's creative submission that he did last month is going to be used as inspiration for a company wide upcoming project!  Isn't that awesome?  Perhaps you'll see bits of his ideas at your local Urban Outfitters come January.  I'm so proud of my Bunnie.  He would NEVER tell you these things.  And that's exactly why I'm giving you the scoop.

Bits of Christmas.

This year I wanted to shake up my regular routine for Christmas decorations.  I found that time of day really helps usher more patience and creativity.  I thought of some odd twists to throw in.  Changes I made this year:

• I didn't use the stable.  I took a pop art approach by adding bulbs to symbolize stars and angels.


• My cake stands were stuffed with colorful bulbs.  


• I didn't hang our stockings.  I'm hoping to find some prettier replacements soon. *Everything looks so festive and cheerful.  Do you have your decorations up yet?
