Starry-eyed Optimism

In a grandiose attempt to improve both myself and my world, I've hopped onto the 101/1001 bandwagon. Marvel as I attempt to complete 101 goals in 1001 days. I will do it, if not through sheer determination, but because of the entertainment factor.

Goal #46: Go to a movie by myself

My first goal is accomplished! Insert happy dance here.

Me, myself, I and Shopgirl. I've been dying to see it since I first heard they were filming it. Of course, in true Marquette fashion, it took two months for the film to get here. But the waiting was worth it. By the end? There were a couple of tears. The script closely followed the book, which didn't surprise me since Steve Martin wrote them both. He did a great job as Ray; Jason Bateman was so lovable. Claire Danes blew me away. Mirabelle is such a complex character and she just embodied her.

The best part of the evening, though? (Besides the Red Vines, I mean.) I had the theater all to myself. Just me and Steve, Claire and Jason. Yum. Thank you, Marquette, for being divinely uncultured, for it allowed me to have a great evening and also accomplish one of my 101 goals.
