Chris Marquette Message Board

I watched the british version with James MacEvoy and couldn't watch it.  Even with James MacEvoy in it!  But I hear the cast in the american version is good!

a student asked for 'mustache' today at lunch.  I asked her to repeat again and she finally said the yellow packet and realized she meant mustard   three minutes later a student asked for the white stuff for his carrots and after five minutes talking with him about what he meant we came to the conclusion he wanted ranch!  Glad we are doing food vocabulary cards for our students at lunch!  That's ESL students for you!

I agree Deb, I kind of posted it last minute!  I actually forgot about the oscars until my hair stylist mentioned something about it Saturday!  I wasn't sure if I'd be watching or not.

I just watched up until about 10:00pm.  I agree it wasn't spectacular, but I thought MacFarlane did a good job though!  I pretty much anticipated all the right winners, there weren't any big surprises.

I'm glad Jennifer got an award.  I haven't seen Silver Linings Playbook yet, but I like her...

I enjoyed Seth's intro with Shatner!  And so excited Christoph Waltz won another one for Django.

Deb- great pic of Chris!  I love Anton Yelchin and some of the movies he's done recently so this will be exciting!

I agree about the sense of dread built from the characters...and interesting to note about the end of the world scenario.  That movie stuck with me for a few weeks.  I'd like to see it again but not for a while!  With the Asteroid hitting Russia and the flyby last week it was coincidental that I watched Melancholia only a week before! 

I saw Beautiful Creatures and really enjoyed it.  I had no idea of the plot and or who was in it so I didn't have any expectations.  I just wanted to get out of the apartment and that was about the only movie out I wanted to see today.  It was really entertaining, great characters, a little melodramatic but not too bad.  I'm curious to read the books now.

It does. I know I shouldn't take her for every little thing but she had an upset tummy for a few days.  She's much better today.  I didn't feed her though until I got home so I could monitor the bathroom breaks better.  Her personality seems to be back though!

Now I really want to go  8.(

Deb - have you tried getting a neck and shoulder massage or going to the chiropractor?  Yoga helps too with aches and pains.  I use to work at a spa and really like to use massage, especially deep tissue and essential oils for aches and pains.  I hear chiropractors are amazing but haven't had the need to go to one yet.  I try (as finances allow) to get a neck and shoulder massage once every four months.  Put some hot towels on the sore spots and see if that can relieve some tension, that's what the massage technicians always told me to do at the spa.

Stomach is better, attempted a yoga class and I actually think it was a good detoxifier for that, especially the head ache.  Hoping tomorrow will be a good day as far as that goes.

Yes Elinor does help me get up but she's so snuggly that I just want to keep petting her!  My goal is to get back to my 5am routine so I can pay more attention to her and not feel rushed and dragging a** in the morning into work. Literally waking up at 6:08 and out the door at 6:25.  Poor Elinor.  She doesn't like it, neither do I. I got one of those SAD lights and the light wakes me up but I turn it off because it goes on 15 minutes before the alarm actually goes off.  I should probably stop doing that! 

Unfortunately I got a case of the stomach bug I think.  I called in today.  Thought i was getting better at around 8:00 but have severe aches right now.  Keeping good thoughts to go in for Saturday school.  I have a group of kiddos that really need my help & I've got a lot of work to do too...

Wish I could go but tickets expensive! Checked into it last year.  Suppose to be awesome.  Glad its previewing there.... SXSW has gotten lots of notoriety over the years, maybe it will show at Dallas AFI Festival?  Sometimes the same movies come to that one too...that would be awesome
