La Vie: Bon Apetit!

Julie and Julia is an adorable movie. It's all about finding yourself. And food. It is a double memoir with some gloriously beautiful shots of butter.

While there's not a great amount of finding myself to be done at this point in my life (most of that was done in high school), one can never learn to much about any subject, including the subject of oneself. I have been feeling like I'm living in a daily limbo. I graduated from a year long film school, I'm not entirely sure what part of filmmaking I'd like to pursue, I don't really have any desire to go to a more traditional college, I need to find a job, I just moved back home because the lease on my apartment near school is up, and I don't drive. I think I might be experiencing a beginning-of-life crisis. (Like a mid-life crisis, but I'm only nineteen.) Why do I suspect this? I seriously considered purchasing a skirt. As someone who loves a nice suit, wore a tux to junior prom, and hasn't worn a dress since age ten, this clearly signaled distress.

So I have given myself a project. Like Julie Powell cooking her way through Julia Child's cookbook, though with little to no aspics. I am giving myself a year from tomorrow, August 16, 2009, to blog about every Doctor Who episode (from the new series), as well as every episode of Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. I'm also throwing Lost into the mix as its last season is almost upon us. A challenge that fits with the geek theme.

Let's see how it goes. Wish me bonne chance!
