Has anyone out there seen “Dancer in the Dark”? One of the most amazingly gorgeous movies I’ve ever seen – and so depressingly sad and hopeless and the same time. Bjork plays the main character (I love Bjork) and she totally rocks this role. If you need a good cry this is the movie for you!
This image doesn’t really have anything to do with the movie – but when I saw it on the computer screen for the first time “dancer in the dark” is what popped into my head.
Just got back from a holiday party at our friends and neighbors, Stanley and Tom. Stanley is a West Virginian (as is my hubby Chris) and this man bleeds blue and gold. They bonded over their common roots and the fact that they are both recent transplants to NM – Stanley and Tom just moved here a year and a half ago. Anyway….went to this holiday party tonight and had the MOST FUN ever. A bunch of us sat in their back room and watched the Discovery’s Channel’s Planet Earth series. This is an amazing series – buy it or rent it – but you must go forth now and seek it out. It is gorgeous, and interesting, and educational, and entertaining. The funny thing is that this was supposed to be “background” but ended up being center stage. Met this awesome couple (who happen to own a frame shop down the street from us) and we just started making smartass comments on everything. We had more “in jokes” going than I have ever seen. It was so cool to have that kind of instant rapport with people – I am usually the person who never speaks at a party – unless I know most of the people there. We were the last people to leave (we were so engrossed we didn’t realize the actual party had ended).
Oh, and I came home to find out I’ve had another purchase on Etsy – so that’s four since I opened on Monday! And it was my little brother that bought something – I had just told him about opening the Etsy store a few hours before. My bro rocks!
That’s fabulous news about your Etsy store! Congrats!
I took my 12 year old to the premiere of Dancer in the Dark. They (the promoters) told me that it would be appropriate. She sobbed for an hour afterwards. Still, it was a GREAT movie. And we still talk about it……… and she really loves Bjork now…..
