"Once"

Tonight Jeremiah had the opportunity to go to the Flames game with his brother. Now, I cannot lie, sometimes when I have an envisioning of spending a relaxing married couple evening at home, and things come about different I don't always deal well with it. However, after a fun soup-making session with Jeremiah before he went (I will blogg the recipe later, because it is "brilliant") I begun to decide to embrace this night to myself, something I don't do enough.

And so they were off. I curled up in our new mini ikea couch, which just barely fits me snuggly, after connecting the macbook to the TV (which Jeremiah so kindly showed me how to do before he left) and began a movie which I have wanted to see for a bit now...called "Once".

Having recently been very let down from movie Atonement, which I had been so pumped up about only to realize it wasn't all I imagined it would be, I have been nervous to put myself out on the line for movies I anticipate. However as I journeyed through this film, I was captivated. The music, the characters, the story, the struggles, the laughter, the lyrics. It is a true gem. Now I don't mean to get anyones hopes up, or want to convince you that is it the best movie ever, that you just have to see, because I know what it is like to have a movie let you down. But I will say, if you find yourself a night, where you're at home and ready to be open to what film has to offer...spend a night with "ONCE". It's a true, refreshing gem of a film!
