Tonight Sam and I watched Away We Go. Holy Hell, folks. This was a great movie. Probably the best I've seen in the last year. Directed by Sam Mendes (Little Children, American Beauty) and co-written by Dave Eggers (writing rock star, brains behind McSweeny's, adapted Where The Wild Things Are) and starring my new boyfriend, John Krasinski, this movie bowled me over. It was so smart and funny and real. And as a person who has recently procreated, incredibly relevant. Please find a way to watch it. If for no other reason than Allison Janney's brilliant performance and for the painfully accurate portrayal of new age academics.
I haven't felt this good about a movie since I saw Once, In America, or Junebug.
Welcome
After spending 2 years living on the rugged coast of Northeastern Scotland, a job now takes us to Fairbanks Alaska. Originally from Oregon, I am a writer, a mother, an aspiring frontier woman, a nostalgia junkie, and a book addict. I call myself a trailer wife, which refers to the state of a person (most often a woman) who is caught up in the professional trajectory of their spouse. This blog will chronicle my journey between two places I never, ever, imagined I'd call home.
