away i go

well, i am so sorry i have not posted in a while! i guess i've just been pretty busy with ... well, life. this past weekend was pretty full with friend birthday dinners, bridal shows, & funerals. & school is starting to get much harder. i really need to buckle down so i do not catch senioritis!
in case you do not know, i take the train to my university twice a week. i decided to take some photos of an ordinary day on the train, traveling to school. i catch it at around 6:30 in the morning! i still do not know what compelled me to take such early morning classes.
i really want to see this movie! sooo much. oh & what albert says at the very end of the trailer! i just get chills : )i just saw away we go. i loved it! it's really so good & sweet. the two main actors are brilliant. such a lovely story. photo from here

  1. LOVE the first picture :) The colors are so springy. Wow fancy words there ;P Jeez I would die if I had to catch such an early train. Nice pics though, they are so mysterious. Oh I want to see both of those movies! Eee! Lol.

  2. I don't know that I could get up that early. I used to get up around five-thirty for early morning classes, but since I stopped taking those I've fallen into the habit of not getting up 'til nine or ten.

    I got Away We Go at the library last night! I've not watched it yet, but I'm glad to hear you liked it. So far I've yet to hear anything bad about the movie. :)

  4. I had never seen the trailer for The Young Victoria but it looks SO GOOD. Rupert Friend. =]]] He is also very good in Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont. And Away We Go is such a sweet movie.

  5. Away we go is my favourite movie from 2009. I love it. What I love most is that I have never seen the two main actors do serious characters. I loved them. Did u like Maggie gyllenhall's character? The hippy mother? She's hilarious! I love the scene where she's talking about her hate for strollers " I feel like I'm pushing away my child" lol

    I actually quite like mornings. When I was in uni I picked morning classes because I wanted to get them out of the way. Really beautiful train photos :)

    In what state do you live if I might ask? That train station looks so cute! I love taking the train, it's just a time that you are left with your thoughts.

  11. lina, i just discovered your magical corner of the internet and i'm glad! as soon as i heard your music... well i just knew i was going to like you :)

    "away we go" -- i watched that a few weeks ago and thought it so endearing and great performances. like the sisters in the bathtub at the store? and their canadian friends-- the part where they're out at that bar and his wife gets on stage...

    great film.
