The September Issue

I'm only gonna post trailers from now on*:



I don't buy Vogue as much as I used to but I adore fashion & documentaries so I see this movie as a win/win.

*just kidding

The Pacific

What? Another Trailer? Yes, absolutely. This one is from Spanks (That's Spielberg/Hanks, people... get your mind out of the gutter!) and is the long-awaited companion miniseries to the brilliant Band of Brothers miniseries. How long has this been awaited by moi? So long that I'd cursed Spanks for dangling it in front of us, figured they just weren't making it and then, finally, forgotten all about it. And I will probably forget again until it's out on DVD in late 2010 because I don't subscribe to HBO*.

Julie & Julia

This was a really cute book & the movie looks equally cute:

High Line

I'm terribly jealous of New York's new High Line Park... it looks so gorgeous:




Akron is pretty good with parks but I'd love to see us do more interesting things like this...

Oh Look, More Flowers...

No. 5 and No. 6

Peony Season is almost over... and tragically, about 5 or 6 of mine were destroyed this weekend by the gaggle of unsupervised children who live next door to me. I need a really tall fence.

(sigh)

More Peonies

Peonies #1 (the one that looks like its been around the longest), #3 and #4.

I'm keeping track of how many blooms I get this year. I love peonies.

Pink Peony

A Peony (#2) from my garden & a ceramic egg that I hope will sprout a plant sometime in the near future.
