A must-see

If you have a thing for romantic, smart and enchanting movies, go see Elizabethtown. Just got home from seeing this new Cameron Crowe picture.

I only saw Crowe's Almost Famous last week on TV, and I can no longer keep hating Kate Hudson simply 'cause Dave likes her. She really is that cute.
And so is Kirsten Dunst in this new film; I'll say it again: enchanting!
Great images of America as the leading guy takes a road trip. And the soundtrack alone is worth it; Lindsey Buckingham, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams, and some great old Elton Johns. Go check it out. (Orlando Bloom, anyone?)

In other news: I am suffering from serious knitting withdrawal. I work 32 hours a week now, and as you already know, I am NOT ALLOWED TO DO ANY KNITTING, even though I'm in between calls. When I'm home, there's either a cluttered room, a diet blog, or a thesis waiting for me, and so I found myself in a knitless week.
Not good.

On the other hand, the room is no longer cluttered, and I lost my first 5 pounds, but still you guys, NO knitting. (The thesis, you ask? No comment.)

I will pick up the needles again tomorrow night. Bert at my SnB told me if I hadn't finished the sleeves for my Mom's cardi by the end of this month, that he wouldn't help me with its hopelessly difficult shawl collar...
Better get cranking!
