watching the creepy medical scene from E.T. in the park

this past weekend, my bff brittany mentioned that the mt.p waterfront park was showing E.T. on an inflatable screen and suggested we go. a few phone calls later, we had a group of participants and a handful of blankets to lay on the grass. not only did i get to eat boiled peanuts and cotton candy from the various vendors at the event, but i also got over my fear of the movie's "hospital" scene. thankkk goodness.

afterwards, everyone met up at dan's apartment to play the big taboo. as always, girls won! then, we moved our game piece back to the space the boys were on...and beat them again. relentless.

one of my very favorite movies is Penelope. i watch it all the time. not only is there comedy and a love story (and a "learn to accept yourself the way you are, rather than trying to be what other people want" message) there's also this whimsical quality of the movie that i looove. i mean, have you seen her purple peacoat with colorful buttons down the front? cutenesss. not to mention the scenery and accompanying music. gah, i just love everything about this movie. including reese witherspoon. who just so happens to be one of my very favorite actresses (and also one of Penelope's producers). but quite possibly my very favorite thing in this very favorite movie of mine is the rope swing in her bedroom. an absolute must-have in my future residences. i am not joking around here. havetohaveit! and if you haven't seen this movie, watch it. you might not have the same fondness for it that i do, but you will like it. for sure.

this hairstyle rocks. and her wardrobe and vespa, too.

she's a teacher...how cute is her classroom?

ahhh...i die for this.
