if the shoe fits . . .

last weekend, mr. pike asked me to run to blockbuster to pick up a movie for our enjoyment. he causally mentioned that he thought knowing looked good. and when i saw the cover and read the back of the DVD box, i was hardly impressed.

i was immediately drawn to
confessions of a shopaholic, which my friend miss holbrook had recommended. but i knew mr. pike would prefer his choice over mine, so i brought home knowing.

well, mr. pike's choice ended up being a bad choice. what we thought might be a more suspenseful movie turned out to be really eerie. we didn't even finish it. we read the ending on wikipedia, and it ended pretty corny. so, take it from us, you don't need to check this one out.

i had mentioned to mr. pike that my choice would have been
so much better. to make it up to me, mr. pike brought shopoholic home tuesday night. while i'm not a fashionista of gucci or prada proportions, ms. bloomwood did inspire me to also clean my closet.

when we moved into our current apartment, my shoe collection was divided among three closets (mine, mr. pike's, and the hall closet). it was a pretty beautiful collection. but, this week i gave away several pairs of shoes and brought my collection down to two closets.

mr. pike, thank you for loaning me some of your closet space. but, now i'm giving it back. it's all yours.

by the way, i thought confessions was a sweet movie. mr. pike and i are big fans of ms. bloomwood's fan dance.

Knowing was definitely not worth watching. And I'm impressed you got rid of some of your shoes. Observation of Janssen has made it clear that it's not an easy thing to do, though to her credit, she also got rid of several pairs of shoes recently to help us fit into our new apartment.

That is so funny Marilyn, I actually LOVED Knowing! Though I was the only one I know who did. It had me at the edge of my seat the whole time. The end was kind of corny, though.

Couldn't agree more about the movie choices. The Shopaholic movie was entertaining and sweet but Knowing was just plain corny, not to mention eerie.
