Friday Four

What I Watched: Jamie and I watched To Kill a Mockingbird last weekend, because it aired a few weeks ago in honor of its 50th anniversary. It's amazing how well the movie has held up -- maybe because it was in black and white. Anyway, it also made me want to read the book again; it is my favorite after all.

In TV news, SoapNet started airing Veronica Mars last week and I am SO excited. My old roommate Mamie got me hooked on this show when we lived together and I'm glad to get the chance to finally see it from the beginning. It's smart, fun, and sarcastic... just like I like it :-)



What I Read: I'll give you one guess. I'm never gonna finish this book!!

What I Listened to: I haven't really listened to any new music this week. However, a few weeks ago I checked out The Hunger Games soundtrack. I can't say that I really enjoyed it for the most part. These three stuck out for me though:
                            Taylor Swift & The Civil Wars "Safe & Sound"
                            Maroon 5 & Rozzi Crane "Come Away to the Water"
                            Birdy "Just a Game"



What I Ate: We went to Lizard's Thicket after church on Sunday and it was yummmy. I love their fried okra!

Friday Four

What I Watched: I've watched several movies the past couple of weeks in addition to our normal tv shows. Most recently I saw My Sister's Keeper. I thought the topic was really interesting, and now I wonder if that really happens. Do couples have additional children to help sick older siblings? Has anyone ever heard of this in real life?

What I Read: I'm still working on Jane Eyre. I also have a backlog of about five or six Entertainment Weeklys that I'm working through!

What I Listened to: Lots of new stuff this week added to my Spotify playlist. Some highlights:
                                  Alex Clare "Too Close"
                                  Taylor Swift & The Civil Wars "Safe and Sound"
                                  Carly Rae Jepson "Call Me Maybe"
                                  Andy Grammer "Fine by Me"
                                  Jason Mraz "I Won't Give Up"







What I Ate: Last Saturday we our Living Social deal for Chicago Uno Grill. I had a Harvest Vegetable pizza, which was decent, but I'm not a huge fan of cheese on top of my toppings, especially when it's thick! Sunday after church we went to Moe's, where I got my usual Joey Jr. burrito... yum!
