I don’t know what it is, but I LOVE Andrew McCarthy.
And I will forever. I will be 80 years old and still have a massive crush on him. Pretty in Pink is the best movie ever. I’m watching it tonight while scrapping… sigh! With the famous kiss. I remember watching that over and over with my sister’s when the movie first came out. I was like, 8 years old at the time. He’s so cute! I love his eyes, I love how he holds Molly Ringwald’s chin when he kisses her.
If I could have one wish come true, it would be to remake the movie, starring me and Andrew McCarthy.
One can dream…
Have any of you seen There Will Be Blood? Wow. What can I say about Daniel Day Lewis that hasn’t already been said? He is phenomenal. This movie is so intense. It’s not what I thought it would be, but it was still amazing. James keeps saying the above quote now. It’s kinda funny, out of context.
I have been promising you a RAK for a while now.We haven’t had a RAK here at oranginadreams in a loooong time. So, here we go.
One day, I decided to take every project that I never started and place it in the middle of my room. The pile was enormous!! Apparently, when it comes to crafts, my eyes are bigger than my proverbial stomach. I kept about half and the rest I’m giving away. I have several prizes up for bid.
1) an unused Life’s Journey 12×12 scrapbook
2) A Making Memories frame kit
3) 7 skeins of yarn. The color is a little off (those dark blue ones are actually a royal purple)
4) a wood album and matching frame, laser engraved
5)11 patterns. There are some cute crafty ones, some cute little outfits
6) an 8×8 scrapbook, matching papers and an album
So what do you have to do to win these lovely items?? Well, I have decided to start an etsy shop!! Mainly I’m going to sell hand knitted scarves. I’m terrible at naming things, it would take me weeks to come up with a name that I could decide on. So help me out! I need a name! Something fun, catchy, whimsical. If you leave a comment, let me know if you are a sewer, knitter or scrapper. Plus there will be extra goodies for you, too!!
Thanks for helping me out!
So, we’ve been watching a lot of movies lately. Been catching up on all our Netflix. We’ve watched two vonTrier movies: Dogville and Dear Wendy. And I….
I guess I want to seem like I understand and appreciate his movies. But they are too depressing. Too messed up. The lives of these people get so f*cked up. They all start out with good intentions and then it falls apart so badly. If Dogville wasn’t so brutal and harsh, I would have enjoyed it. I loved the concept and the visualization – it was like watching live theatre, but I can’t take that much real life. I mean, I already live “real life” so give me a feel good movie or book any day.
Then we watched American Psycho and The Machinist. What is with our Netflix list?? I told James that the next movies have to be lighthearted comedies. American Psycho was good. But James and I disagreed with the ending.Was he really a serial killer or was he imagining it? You decide. The Machinist…. oh my god! I could hardly watch it because Christian Bale’s weight! Yuck! But a very good movie too. So disturbing. If you haven’t seen it – Christian Bale weighed 125 lbs for this movie! And to see him go from The Hottest Man Ever (seriously, he’s so HOT!!) in American Psycho to Disturbingly Sick Man in The Machinist was hard to take.
Well, here’s my Holiday album. It was fun to do and I really enjoy my kits from Studio Calico.

Sean.. he’s so cute
My favorite page of Jaedyn, being a superstar in my sunglasses.
Has anyone seen this new show Cashmere Mafia? It stars the greatest women: Frances O’conner (love her), Miranda Otto and Lucy Liu. I have this thing about foreign actors being able to do accents. I just think it’s the coolest thing ever!! I LOVE when brittish actors can do excellent American accents. And these two ladies kick ass! Not to say Lucy Liu isn’t awesome either – she does the “power woman” thing so well. Remember her in Kill Bill? I thought she was the best part of the whole movie.
Phew! I have more to talk about, but I’ll save that for tomorrow. I am (finally) meeting up with my personal trainer tomorrow. I’m scared! Wish me luck
