BONUS: Julie & Julia

This was a cute movie!
But it is totally not on the Top 100 movie list.
However, this is the movie that my friends mentioned when they convinced me to write a blog. There are a lot of similarities between me and Julie Powell. We both took on a ridiculous challenge. Mine was 123 movies, hers was 300-some recipes. Both were not great health choices. She eats a lot of food, I sit around and watch movies. We both spend our day in a cubicle. We both blog. But, then there are a lot of differences. She's married; I'm not. She's good at cooking; I would like to be. She's a writer, (even though she didn't finish her book), and I'm definitely not.
However, we do agree on the definition of a writer. In the movie, she says "You're not a writer unless someone publishes you." And that is exactly how I feel. Exactly. Seriously, go check out my very first blog that introduced this whole thing.
Okay, back to the movie... Her husband says, "See, that's what's so great about blogs, you don't have to be published, you can just go online, press enter, and there it is, out there." And it's true. With a blog, you just publish yourself.
But, that doesn't mean that people read it. In the movie, Julie's blog gains popularity, and people read it. But, according my blog's current stats, that's just not what's going to happen with mine. Haha! But again, in my very first post, I said this was not for other people to read, because I'm sure this is a really boring blog for other people. The whole blog is for me. So that one day, when I'm old, I can read through it and remember it. Or at least have some sort of guide to help me keep all of these movies separate. Because, let's face it, after watching 123 movies (and more, because I still watch fun movies), I am really going to struggle to matching movie titles with what actually happens. Or, maybe I won't ever reread this. But, watching movies & blogging about is slightly more productive than just watching movies, because at least this way, I am exercising my brain by forming complete sentences.
