Woot! I’m still pretty geeked on my big news … but with a looming move in the coming weeks, I’m also a bit stressed out too. I’m researching movers to help lessen the stress … I really, really hate moving so I’m trying to find a company that will do it all for me, which is the only way to move. I’ve found a couple of really good potential candidates but if any of y’all have any suggestions, please pass them along. I met with the real estate dude yesterday to drop off my checks for the new place so … come Feb. 1, it’s gonna be ours :)

To celebrate, I met up with Jim for dinner and movie last night but because of time constraints it turned out to be movie and then dinner. First up, we made our way to the ArcLight Theater in Hollywood to see The Wrestler:

Because I am a huge Darren Aronofsky fan, I have been really anxious to see this film for weeks now. Watching Mickey Rourke win the Golden Globe for his performance in the film put me over the edge, I had to see it as soon as possible. Man, what an amazing and powerful film. The stark realism in the movie was just really sad from beginning to end but the movie never takes the emotional exploitation too far. The film is a great commentary on how rough life can be for some people and even tho there seems to be no hope left, simple pleasures can make all the difference in the world. You empathize with Rourke‘s character, no doubt, but I felt such an affinity for Marisa Tomei‘s character as well. I’m shocked she isn’t gettin’ as much love from the critics … she really goes all out for her role and turns in an impeccable performance. She really is the unsung hero of this film. But Mickey Rourke, my gods, he really turns it on in this film … his performance is nothing short of powerful. He will deffo be a contender come Oscar time.

Much love goes out to the very able staff at the ArcLight … my dumbass left my wallet at the concession stand they took care of it for me. I freaked out when I realized I didn’t have my wallet (after the movie was over) and was relieved to know that they had it for me, safe and sound. I saw Kate Bosworth in the lobby with some friends but I was so freaked out about my wallet, I barely paid attention.

After the movie, Jim and I went to Birds for a late dinner and a couple of beers. While we were eating, Brea Grant who plays Daphne (Hiro‘s “nemesis” with superspeed) came over to our table to compliment me on Pink is the new Blog. It was very sweet of her to say hello and I’m sending my love out to her today.

Tonight, Darion, Kirsten and I are finally getting together to watch the Dollhouse screener I got last week … we are all very excited :)
