Julie & Julia

Tonight I saw the film, Julie & Julia. It's about a woman who spends a year cooking and blogging through Julia Child's cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

This is not why I started this blog.

Movies are a major part of my vocabulary. They remind me of my life: quiet moments about myself that I've never shared with another soul; the hilarity of familial life and dating; and of course, the joy, the promise and the painful suffering that comes from being human.

Julie & Julia shares the hardship of knowing who you are at the present moment and realizing its not who you are meant to be. You have skills, you have knowledge, you have ambition; but where does it all go? Julia Child and Julie Powell put it towards cooking and sharing their passion with other people. Though cooking is not my forte, I have to admit I am all too familiar with the existensial dilemma of longing for more.......

Hence, the blog, which started in my head long ago, but had never come into fruition. Until now. I hope to share, through this venue, the hopes and heartaches in my life, and my love of art and film.


"Say goodnight, Harry."
"Goodnight, Harry."
