So the blog's kinda been dead for about a month and a half, what with me starting to play WoW again and then with the Christmas and New Year's break. I'm making this post as a kind of New Year's resolution - to commit to writing posts this year. But I think I need to take the blog in a certain direction as it's kind of meaningless at the moment.
On the way from Australia back to New Zealand I watched "Julie and Julia" on the airplane. It's not a movie I'd normally go to see but it was surprisingly relevant - it's about a cooking blog! The idea is great, Julie, a younger woman decides to write a blog about cooking every single recipe in a famous cookbook by Julia, within the space of a year. It's not all happy times - there are some spectacular failures as well as successes, but she blogs them all anyway. Now I'm not going to do that, no way, but certainly I might borrow the idea a bit. (And I'm sure every second blogger in the world is probably doing this right now, haha.)
As for the movie itself - I thought it was very good. The story is rich, very Hollywood, but in a good way. The pacing is perhaps a tad slow but nonetheless well-measured. Perhaps I'm biased, but I thought Meryl Streep nailed it. I think it's definitely DVD-purchase-worthy if you're even remotely interested in watching decent movies.
Of course I'm terrible at writing anything including reviews, so I'm going to stop here. Til next time :)
