  8. slaves of new york, basquiat, school of rock, in america, amelie, crooklyn, muriel's wedding, fame…

    Oh my goodness! We have such similar taste in movies! I used to have ‘slaves of new york’ on video and I’d watch it over and over again… I watched ‘fame’ the TV show religiously and even went so far as to write fan mail! Somewhere in storage is a b/w photo of the piano player guy wearing that keyboard scarf!

  9. I just watched Amelie the other day for the first time...eeek I know, years late:) But I found it to be so beautiful, I keep thinking about it.

  10. I'm in love with your entries (but I may be a little biased since I love, love making lists too). I usually jot them down in my notebooks, sketchbooks, etc so I never thought about putting them on my blog. Ah the possibilities! :) I can't wait to see more of your projects. I also really like some of your lists and it makes me think a lot about things I had forgotten about myself. Would you mind if I use some of your list topics? -- I'm very interested in giving this a try for myself. I'll definitely mention your blog. I also love your photos, can't wait to see more <3

    have a great weekend!

  12. Ah! I just watched Roman Holiday a few weeks ago! Picked it up at Target for $5 and loved it so much! Can you believe the beginning says..."and Introducing Audrey Hepburn"? Wow! I think if I rode a scooter through Rome, it would look a lot like when she did it! LOL!

  25. First of all, I love this list. Some I've seen and positively love and many I added to our netflix queue, so thanks for sharing.

    Second, have you seen this graffiti proposal?: http://vimeo.com/13259028
    I know I'm just a reader, but I thought of you and how much you love street art. Just thought I should share in case you hadn't seen it yet.
