You always hurt the one you love

I just had a movie break my heart a little bit.  I'll be thinking about Blue Valentine for days.  I haven't wanted to immediately rewatch a movie in a long time.

Ryan Gosling was so good, I'm going to have to boycot the Oscars this year (not really).  He made me wish I'd married a childish alcoholic a little bit- and that deserves an award.

tea for two and two for tea

The new HBO Grey Gardens movie arrived in the mail today. The original's got many memorable musical numbers in it, but this one always stands out the most in my memory (maybe tied with the Grand Old Flag dance, but that's really more about the dance).

These tea towels are adorable in addition to being made of 100% organic cotton and packaged in a 100% cardboard envelope. The next time I feel like dropping $36 on a set of 2 tea towels, I'll be sure to snatch them up.

Paper Moon

is one of my favorite movies. We all know about Tatum's big win for her role, but I can't believe how the academy robbed Ryan. One of the most memorable performances on film.

The title of the film doesn't bear a great weight on the plot. These period photos of people taking their photos in the paper moon at the fair are wonderfully nostalgic (in a way that nostalgic means yearning for a time before you were born in my case).

The Dude Sings

I saw Crazy Heart last weekend and the music was great. Jeff Bridges definitely has a back up plan if this whole acting thing turns sour.

nite, nite.

Every girl could use a little Holly Golightly in her life, even in her sleep. This Holly GoNightly sleeping mask is just the trick.
