Movie Nighters

Last night was high school reunion movie night it was excellent
We had dinner at Macaroni Grill and then watched Clue (the movie!), Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog, then we played 2 rounds of Pop5 and a round of Apples to Apples. I LOVE MY HIGH SCHOOL FRIENDS. Also interesting fact: Clue the movie has 3 different endings and when it was released in theaters,and  depending on the showing you went to it was one of the 3 random endings. HOW COOL IS THAT!? Also my film friend is legit--she's on IMDB. (YAY KRIS, I'm so proud of you!) My cousins from Plano are coming to our house today and I'm going to be working on my Peru scrapbook. Hobby Lobby had a 50% off sale on all scrapbook and sticker supplies. It was exciting--my inner yearbook nerd was jubilant. Also I'm going to see my old yearbook teacher sometime next week--she was a great inspiration in my life. And chances are she's probably reading this. (I guarantee you she facebook stalks me, haha--I love you Mrs. Bakke!) I am also currently working on securing the series of Clue mystery whodunit books right now-18 of them, all out of print. 

Books I have read so far this break:
Next by Michael Crichton (good read, makes you really think about the moral and legal implications genetic engineering can have on the future)
The Perfect Fake by Barbara Parker (satisfied my craving for an art history mystery)
The Island of Dr. Moreau by HG Wells (I love sci fi and Wells is a genius)

Working on Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie right now

Also I watched Anaconda (the search for the blood orchid--haha, i know, but I have a thing for scary snake movies) and the Ron Clark Story (which made me reaffirm my want to apply for TFA [teach for america])

I love that you're blogging now! =) Say hi to Mrs. Bakke for me. She's also influenced my life so much: Without her, I wouldn't be in journalism!
