Speaking of Dustin Hoffman

posting about Last Chance Harvey made me think of my favorite Dustin Hoffman movie, The Graduate. I saw it for the first time just a few years ago. It was one of those - had heard all about it, obviously recognizing it as a pop culture icon - but i hadn't seen it. it is great. if you haven't seen it - you should.
last chance harvey
I'm watching 'Last Chance Harvey' right now. It's a movie with Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson. I'm thoroughly enjoying. Best exchange so far occurred during Harvey's daughter's wedding -
Harvey - "We have to hurry."
Kate - "Why?"
Harvey - "Because I'm going to dance your socks off!!"

huge flag
back to the grind..

i hate how long one can spend looking forward to something - a week, a weekend, a party - and then how quickly it passes you by. that's how i'm feeling this tuesday morning. we all were looking forward to this three day weekend - and now its over. one good thing though, is that there is less than a month left until my birthday :)

someday - maybe
a german themed cafe milano

i went with my brother and some old family friends, julia and natalie hahn. we met the hahn's when our dad's were stationed in germany at the same time in ohh i guess 1992 or so. they now live in fredericksburg so its a wonder i hadn't seen them in so many years. we had a great, great time. julie just graduated and is heading to munich mid-june for some summer program - she's oobersmart studying neuroscience or something similar i can't begin to wrap my head around. julie is fluent in german and had with her a friend from germany (though they met in america). how ironic - our waiter was also from germany. the three of them were speaking deutsch all night long and he ended up giving us a free bottle of champagne at the end of our meal- in exchange for natalie's phone number as it turned out. all in all it was quite an eventful evening.

a running challenge

Run at your own "comfortable" pace for the given amount of time. "Comfortable" might mean walking periodically in order to complete the workout. That's OK; the important thing is that you stick to the length of time allotted for each workout. If you miss a workout don't worry, just start from where you are on the schedule.

say cheese!

i've become camera crazed. i've never been very good at taking pictures. i think its genetic. one of those nature vs. nurture things. (step one foot into my mom's house and you'll know what i'm talking about) but recently, i want a camera with me more often than not. kpg has been so gracious to let me borrow his whenever i ask, but i know that's got to be getting old for both parties invovled. with that said - i'm on a quest for the camera of my dreams! i think kpg is getting me one for my birthday (june 24) so this weekend we started looking. i have one in mind but please send me your suggestions if you have any! one of my requirements is a good zoom.
