Anne of Green Gables (the sequel)

This is one of my absolute favorite movies. It just puts me in a good mood, at least by the end of the movie. At the moment I feel that many of the things Anne goes through in this movie are in the same variety as I'm going through at this point in my life. I also wish life could be that simple. If only..... Well anywho watching this movie has made me want her outfits especially her hats! I want hats like that with hat pins included. I love the lines of the turn of the century fashion. I really like this blouse and skirt that Anne wears at the beginning of the movie.

I also really like Gilbert's outfit. Ah the tam hats that our grandfathers wore. If only guys dressed like this still. I feel really bad for Anne at the beggining of this movie when she has to find out that her best friend is engaged from someone other then her best friend.

This movie has also put me in the mood to make a hankie. They are always bringing one out at any moment of sadness or of joy. I think I might try my hands at making one and then embroidering it. This would be a good thing to do in my free time since it wouldn't take up much room. Well I'm off to finish my feel good movie. Lets pray that it ends well (as always) and that Anne and Gilbert are together.

Maid Marian

So over at AmandaBeth Online she's having a Maid Marion's Wardrobe: A Medieval Fashion Event. I planned on participating for the entire weekend but it didn't really work out. I'm going to post my 2 or 3 outfits that I had picked out for the weekend tomorrow. But in the mean time enjoy these videos of some of my favorite Robin Hood and Maid Marian videos.

The Comedy Version of Robin Hood

I love how in the different Robin Hood's we get a different variant of the story. Such as in this one it is the Sheriff of Nottingham himself that wants Marian. It also varies on where and or who Marian actually is.

"Love" with BBC Robin Hood


Well I hope you enjoy these videos and look forward to my outfits tomorrow.

Bird

So you know that movie Failure to Launch? When Zooey Deshanel, the girl that plays Kit, goes insane over the mockingbird, do you know that part? Well I now know how she feels, sort of. The other night and a lot of the day there was a woodpecker or something similar outside my window hammering on the building. It woke me up at 3am and so forced me to sleep on the couch in the living room the rest of the night (you couldn't hear it in there). AHH!!!! Well this was on top of a few nights of not sleeping so it made me really mad. Last night though it didn't come back so I got a good 7ish hours of solid sleep. It was amazing. I hope none of you ever have to deal with this and I really hope the stupid bird doesn't come back or I might go crazy. So for your viewing pleasure Zooey Deshanel going crazy over the mocking bird.

Sick

Why is it that once school starts everyone gets sick? I know that it really just has to do with the weather turning cold and everyone closing their windows and gathering together and sharing germs but still. I'm determined not to get sick but I feel it coming on and I don't want it. I have to much going on with school to be sick. I have lots of reading to do, a french paper to finish, a french test to study for, and a web site to design! I can't be sick! I've been doing the usual things to avoid getting sick: getting enough sleep, drinking lots of water, washing my hands, and taking vitamins. So I'm hoping with all this prevention it won't happen.

I have a friend from high school that's coming to visit me this afternoon and I haven't seen him in awhile so I'm really excited. Except for the fact that we don't have any food in our apartment and I told him that I would cook dinner. We're definitely going to have to drag him to the grocery store with us. Well I hope everyone has a great day and stays healthy!

Lost Dog

So I think this is the cutest commercial and thought that I would share it with you.

TGIF

It's FRIDAY!!! And boy what a week it's been. I'm all moved in to my apartment, I've started classes, and I'm still looking for a job. I have a ton of reading that will probably take me all weekend but at the moment I am forgetting it all and watching New Amsterdam on Hulu. I love Hulu except it's gotten me hooked on quite a few canceled shows, to bad this is one of them (thanks Fox!). Well I'm off to watch another episode maybe read a little bit of Motor Mouth and then to bed only to wake up in the morning and do it all over again.
