Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

I just watched two pretty hopeful movies, but they made me sad. I guess it's just that kind of a day. For a Saturday, it was pretty eventful. (Take into account that on most Saturdays, I stay in bed for as long as possible, then take a bath, then read for a few hours. If at all possible, I don't got anywhere I can't walk.)

First thing this morning, I went to a preliminary fitting to the O'Moore College of Design's annual fashion show. I had a lot of fun trying on clothes and looking at all the beautiful designs. I'm not sure that I'll actually be in the show, but I hope so, mostly because I want to see how all the pieces turn out (quite a few of them were missing seams, fasteners or even the bottom half of the outfit).

After that, I went to lunch at Tossed with my friend Jennifer Enss. We did a show together about a year ago and don't get to see each other too often, as she lives in Spring Hill. I had a crepe, and it was excellent, surprisingly enough. Then we went and got gelato at Nucci's. I think it may be my summer obsession this year :9 Then we tooled around for a bit and did some shopping. I was very well-behaved I might add. No splurging.

Then I came home and watched Lady in the Water (finally) and Holiday. I really enjoyed both, but they made me a little sad. Lady made me sad for M. Night's character, although I loved the movie. Holiday made me sad because sometimes I wish I could commit to living that way, and I'm beginning to worry that I can't. Overall, though, it's a great old classic, and I highly recommend it. (Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, come on!)

There are some other things I want to talk about, but I'm going to save them for a later date, as I am tired, and they are serious.
