[movies] Saved and Gracie

(Two of my three classes are canceled tomorrow. Do you know how hard it will be to drag myself to campus for that one class? Oy.)

I just finished watching Saved. thestalkycop's been recommending it to me for years, and I'm glad I finally watched it. It's hilarious, and touching, and so much fun. It makes me want to work on my teen pregnancy story (the one I'm writing, not the one about my personal teen pregnancy).

It's so cute, in fact, I want to watch it again right away. That's a sign that it's good.

Earlier I watched Gracie, which was a lot sadder than I expected, but just as inspiring and touching as I wanted.

Both movies make me want to write fic, but not about them, necessarily, just fic in general.

I think a good movie night would be D.E.B.S., Saved, Mean Girls, Bend It Like Beckham, and Gracie. Though probably not in that order; ending on Gracie might be too much of a sad note. Maybe the sports movies first, and then the two high school, and then the spy school.

Speaking of spy school, Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy was just as fun as I hoped, though the ending was predictable.

[fandom] Remix Redux

Yay! musesfool is running the Remix Redux again this year! Along with Yuletide, this is one of my favorite ficathons in which to participate, and I look forward to it every year. (You know, there was a time when I never did ficathons, ever. These days, that's about the only thing I do, at least when it comes to writing fic [though I guess that's been changing since I went back to school and fear writing to a deadline]. It's funny to look at how my fandom life has changed over the years.)

I encourage you guys to participate once sign-ups go life (tomorrow, I think). It's a lot of fun. Hard work, don't get me wrong, but a lot of fun.
