In my first post of 2014, I said: "One of my resolutions is to update Sugar & Gravy more often." As of today, the last day of January, I have posted twelve times on this blog. I'm doing pretty well with my resolutions this year. Yay!
At 4:15 pm EST today, I am picking up the keys to my new apartment!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited, as evidenced by the number of exclamation points (10). Although my apartment won't be fully set up until late February, it's still a new place where I can hang my hat... or at least my clothes. I can't wait to set things up... and have my first sleep-in there... and use my dishwasher (a dishwasher!!!)... and have my cat join me!!! Eeeeeeeee!!! I cannot wait!
Okay... time to try to relax and work!

Rush & Oscar-Worthiness
I've done it again! Maybe the novelty will wear off soon and I'll stop posting about it every time I do it, but I can't make promises.
Do what, you ask?
Watch movies I've never seen!!! There's nothing wrong with watching a movie on the couch with your girlfriend or friends every night, but the experience can be a truly engaging one if you indulge in something new. So, as you know, that's what I'm doing.
Last night we watched "Rush". I was pretty sure I wanted to see this movie from the moment I knew it was a Ron Howard-directed, human interest story, based on real events. I mean, come on!!! There was never a question that it would be up my alley.
And I thought it was amazing!!! It's funny, because at this time of year you're hearing about and seeing a lot of Oscar-nominated films and "Rush" isn't one of them. And honestly, while watching it, I could distinctly feel that. Decent acting, but not great. Good story, but not mind-blowing. That being said, it was entertaining, and there's a lot to be said about that.
