Stress :)

I'm just a walking stress ball. You can ask me to do the simplest task and I can feel my body react to it. Have you seen that TED talk, "stress is your friend." Because nothing would get done without stress! This is true. But how do I change myself so I am not always freaking out. Hah. I don't know :)

What type of movies do you like?

Another date question. And my answer to that is unusual too. I say, "I like sad movies.Usually sad indie films. Dark comedies. Especially ones with a great soundtrack. " I'm not sure when I started liking them. Maybe it's because it's a reminder that everyone has their struggles. Love isn't perfect. Life is hard. Anyhoo. I don't have cable so my entertainment has been reduced down to my phone. Thanks goodness for Netflix, which I don't even always have time to watch. Anyway. Right now I'm in the middle of wAtching "happy christmas" with Anna Kendrick and lena Dunham (um yeah!) . It's about a dysfunctional baby sister coping with her just recent breakup, and she moves in with her older brother. She's irresponsible and can't even be trusted to babysit.(lol btw I've barely ever watched my kabillion neice's and nephews with the exception of Kylan, because well, he is like my lil' bro.) she goes out drinking and embarrassingly passes out on the hosts bed. I have not done that. But I've passed out in bars. U usually can't move me at that point. Anyhoo. I still have to finish the movie. Movie is kinda slow as you just watch her move through her new daily routine. 
Other good selections on Netflix right now is Chef. A divorced chef, forgets about his dreams, is pushed to remember it, with the help of ex wife and ex wife's exhusband (see sometjmes you got to let go out your ego). The filming is awesome. I took a friend to watch this movie and she was like "I'm never eating grilled cheese again. That's a lot of butter." I had the opposite reaction. Like what I want to go make one right now. Also the chef in the movie received training from chef roy choi (the korean food truck from LA. I mean chef roy choi has grown his empire to a much larger scale. But he has been credited with starting the food truck revolution. He's even restaurant a healthy fast food chain up her win the bay! Excited. )
France's ha, with Gretchen Hedwig (sp?) 20 somehing yo. Can't figure life out after she's done with college. 
Old boy. Which is an American remake of a korean movie. Crazy stuff! You must watch. Guy gets kidnapped for years and years and has no idea why. Be prepared to be traumatized. 
Silver linings playbook. Just by the name. There is a silver lining. Man is so devasted and obsessed with is ex who cheated on him. He goes insane. But there is a silver lining and power of dance. I love Jennifer Lawrence's lil back house with a dance studio in bottom. 
Thanks for sharing is good, but also painful and uncomfortable  to watch them go through thier addictions gweneth Paltrow is addicted to her healthy habits and mark ruffulo is a recovering sex addict.
Big fish. I like to watch it for the incredible love story (fables or not) that the father tells of his wife.
And then of course Drive because it's so LA. Mexican gangsters. Jewish mafia. Valley crimes. The Hollywood life. Plus I love the Moosic. 
Don't miss blue valentine. You watch  ryan and girl fall in love and out of love. And they can't help either.

Do you dance?

Somehow that question has popped up in people's vernacular, as if the answer can possibly be no. I guess it can be. But usually my answer is along the lines of "yes. I kinda dance like a hippie" . Hah. Free spirit. Hands waiving in the air. I've attempted to dance. Growing up I took the occasionally dance class. Usually not getting too far, but at least trying. Anyway.. Have you heard of Kizomba? Very sexy dance of Angola. 
My eyes were glued.
