The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

Imagine that! I watched two movies AND and my baby baptized this weekend. Busy busy busy!

This film is definitely unique and I must say I enjoyed it. You sort of have to take a leap of faith, go along for the ride and things become clear as you let yourself go. It's funny, it's sad, it's touching and it's kind of weird. I think the 3 main actors (Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson (LOVE HIM) and Jason Schwartzman did a great job - their characters were interesting as were their relationships to each other. The music was fun, the sets were gorgeous and as usual Wes Anderson's deft directing hand did not disappoint.

And once again I suck at writing reviews...but I liked it and that's all that matters, right?

Dang, add this to the list of movies I want to see. I really wanted to see it when it came out but life got in the way. One of these days!

I really enjoyed it too. Your reviews are certainly fine. You got me to put 'Once' on my netflix queue.

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
