Baby did a bad, bad thing
Chilled
After all my wishing for Fall, I got hit in the face with it this weekend. No heat. I waited until it was 59 in the house to turn it on and when I did, nothing happened. Frown. I guess I’m not ready for Winter yet. And yet it comes…

What’s Next For Brad?
According to People, Brad is parting ways with Rachel! He’s my favorite part of the show so I hope he’s moving on to bigger and better things.
The Weekend!
Kick up your heels! It’s Friday! I’m having my first little shindig at the new place tonight.
I’m planning to wear my new favorite dress from Maude (below).
I have lots of besties in town and we’re planning to make the most out of our time together. There will be eating, drinking and merry-making. We’ve also got a BIG football game that the whole town is excited about. I’m a happy girl!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend :)

Monday Morning
Today I woke up to mind-numbing allergies. They catch me by surprise every time! But, my weekend was lovely, hope yours was too.
Ballerina on the Brink
I’m a Natalie Portman fan and have been looking forward to her debut as a deranged ballerina in Darren Aronofsky‘s Black Swan – Dec. 1. However, after reading what the critics had to say after the film’s screening at the Venice Film Festival, I’m now eagerly anticipating it. Obviously she’s beautiful and talented but the film looks so very interesting, unique and scary. I can’t wait to see it.
BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter’s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.
The Trailer
NY Mag has an article today detailing some of the reviews.
One review by Screen International’s Mike Goodridge:
“Black Swan will be warmly received in Venice, Toronto and beyond and it should pirouette all the way to the Oscars next Feb. If the film is ultimately too unsettling to snag main prizes, it has at least one nomination in the bag for lead actress Natalie Portman who gives one of “those” performances, transforming herself after ten months of training into an accomplished ballerina, almost uncomfortable to watch as she consumes her difficult role… Portman is captivating as Nina and not just because of her dancing prowess or her lean, emaciated ballerina’s frame. Like Catherine Deneuve in Repulsion or Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby, she captures the confusion of a repressed young woman thrown into a world of danger and temptation with frightening veracity.”
Are you excited as well?
