Tomorrow can’t come soon enough as Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince comes out!  Well, actually it’s out tonight at midnight, but that’s a little late for me since I’ll be getting up at 5:30am.  So tomorrow it is!!!  I’m super excited!

Here is the Official trailer to build the anticipation:

Happy 4th. The day of hotdogs, chips, burgers, ice cream, family and fireworks. And if your in New York City, a hint of crazy people on the side. Let the fireworks begin!

Today is also the day I finally finished “Floreus Frondosus”, a painting I have been working on for way too long. I started it at Pratt! And didn’t finish till late last night.

Happy Birthday Floreus Frondosus!

I can’t believe this, but both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson have died today.  Farrah lost her long battle with cancer and Michael of causes still unknown (he was rushed about an hour ago to an L.A. hospital under cardiac arrest, went into a coma and has since died).  For entertainment, we have lost two very iconic individuals.

The last time I remember a death having such an affect as Michael Jackson was Princess Diana.  This is truly a sad day.

Rest peacefully Farrah and Michael.

So Dhare and I have this beautiful Mandala that his best friend brought back from Nepal, hanging on our wall. And Dhare has this new lens that he was all excited about, so we decided to do a project! Here is the outcome:

Luke Wilson as ‘Henry Poole’-2008.

I just had the pleasure of watching Overature Films’ 2008 “Henry Poole is Here” on Netflix’s Watch Instantly (which my boyfriend and I just love because sometimes we are lazy bums and can’t be bothered to walk the two blocks to Blockbuster).  The film which stars Luke Wilson and Radha Mitchell as well as Adriana Barraza and Morgan Lily was released on DVD in the U.S in January 2009.  While not having many people recognize this movie, I did remember seeing previews for this film when I came across the name on Netflix.  It was one of those “Hey!  I remember seeing the preview, this movie looked good…how come we never saw it?”  I decided to give it a go, and was very pleasantly surprised and taken aback to how powerful this movie was.  I have to admit that I did get a little teary eyed touched by the way Wilson’s character Henry, Barraza’s Esperanza and Mitchell’s Dawn interacted with each other.

Radha Mitchell, Morgan Lily and Luke Wilson in “Henry Poole is Here” by Overature Pictures 2008.

Esperanza, the “pushy”, relentless yet loving neighbor and Dawn as the lovely and sexy mother of six year old Milly (Lily), Poole’s other neighbor.  The quirky group interact delicately with each other during the course of the movie and Henry Poole has a secret which he hides until the very end.  ‘Henry Poole’ has a powerful message and surprising ending to a touching story.  I recommend!
