Chick Flicks...

I've been such a bad blogger - with editing and shooting and just trying to cope with the heat, the poor blog hasn't even crossed my mind.

Tonight I took a night off from it all and headed to an air-conditioned movie theatre to see Julie & Julia. Of course, it's a movie about a blog so I left the theatre with considerable guilt and a vow to some day blog every day for a month. I don't know which month yet, maybe one next year. ;-)

As for the movie, it was pretty good; I'd give it about a 7 out of 10 stars. Maybe a 6 - good, but somehow not completely satisfying, as though there were something missing toward the end.

What has surprised me in the last few movies I've gone to is the choice of new movie trailers they have been showing. I'm your typical chick flick girl; if I'm watching a chick flick, chances are good I'll be back to see another one at a later date. I'm not coming back to watch a thriller or anything that has me remotely on the edge of my seat. So why show me a preview of The Stepfather? Or the Surrogates? Shutter Island?

I think it's a safe bet that all the older ladies at tonight's show won't be going to see these movies either. I spent the better part of the previews looking at my popcorn and avoiding the action-packed teasers.

But that's just me.

Back to the grind. I have some upcoming posts I'm excited to share... a wedding, a family shoot, and some babies! Soon, I promise. Until then, maybe I'll just share my movie reviews.

Almost up and running...

but not quite. I have a few more things to tweak on the pc before I'm back to normal. It would have been easier had I been born with a need to know technology instead of the need to photograph. :-)

Soon.

I am computerless...

but hopefully will be back up and running soon! *fingers crossed*

I don't have regular access to emails or this blog so no updates for a few days; if you've emailed and I haven't answered, I'm sorry. I'm hoping it won't take too long til I'm back online again.

Dragonboating...

Yesterday was spent at the Dragonboat Festival at Lake Banook, in Dartmouth. The festival is an organized fundraiser in support of the Nova Scotia Amateur Sport Fund.

I didn't race, but was there to support my team and get some pictures.

It was a great day; we were lucky to have some good weather and lots of sun and a great group of people to hang out with for the day.

My team had a great showing and won the Financial Cup, awarded to the fastest financiers of the Dragonboat Festival. And yes, I know... you can see me in the cup; it's one of the few shots I'm actually in from the day.

I'm such a quitter...

...and proud of it!
