The movie of my life

While watching Sylvia, which is a British film based on the life of American poet, Sylvia Plath, I couldn't help but think, "If someone decides to do a movie based on my life one day* I'd want Gwyneth Paltrow for the part." I'm not saying we look alike (although we both have blonde hair). I just feel no matter what role Gwyneth is in she comes across as a very distinguished and classy gal. She oozes elegance. I know, many may argue, "She's a snob." To this I would answer: Who isn't mistaken for being a snob these days? All it takes is to have a slightly introvert personality and people will often mistake someone who is quiet as someone who is a snob. When in reality, not until you throw in Izod apparel or vacations in the Hamptons do you really start to get a glimpse of what real snobbery entails.

Anyway, if I had to be remembered on film I'd want the portrayal to be classy. And did I mention how lovely Gwyneth is?


I would hope she would wear more than this simple towel for the movie but even if she did that would be okay, too. I know I often try the towel look, as well.

* Yes, I know this idea is absurd.

Movies I've watched recently

After having my wisdom teeth removed I've spent an incredible amount of time in my apartment. During this time I've discovered every moment of my day cannot be spent obsessing over when I will feel "normal" again. Also, sending out text messages with the words: woe is me, gets a little boring after the hundredth message. I changed the message to: life is miserable, just to mix it up a bit but stopped when I realized such melodrama may cause others to start to seriously worry. One activity that has kept me busy is watching movies. Here are a few movies I've watched in the past week:

The Queen: Excellent portrayal of the modern Queen. Slightly slow moving in parts. For those interested in the British Royal Family, this movie is for you.

Happy Feet: Very cute but not very happy. I didn't buy into the ending.

The Holiday: I haven't watched a romantic comedy in some time. Having said this, the movie was mildly entertaining. I think I enjoyed the premise of the movie more than the actual movie. (Two characters switch places/lives, go to exotic location, fall in love.)
