There is finally a touch of fall in the air and it's making me really happy. I've come to the conclusion that the changing of the seasons is one of the things that keeps people happy and sane. (or at least me sane).

Speaking of things that bring sanity or happiness, my roommate just gave me a 'take five' candy bar and I don't think I've tasted something so yummy since a very rich peice of baclava about three years ago. Well, there are other things that are yummy too, but different kinds of yummy. There's good sushi with friends yummy and large steak and sweet potatoes yummy and then there's gourmet baby green salad with feta cheese yummy.... that's alot of yummy... and yes, I could go on. For some reason that candy bar was just really good. First because it was small, second because it has peanut butter, chocolate, crunchies and caramel. And third, at that moment I was craving chocolate. Perfect.

On to a new subject, I just returned from seeing the movie "Red Eye" with a friend. I was a bit aprehensive about the idea that it was a scary movie but this particular friend and I have a thing about going and seeing movies that we might not normally see. Leading us to see "Dragonfly" a few years ago and a few other forgettable films as well as some good ones as well.
This movie actually turned out to be great and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It wasn't too psyco, but more of a hang on to the edge of your seat drama thriller. There were a couple of moments where I had my ears plugged and my jacket over my face... but other than that I loved it.

Red car, Red Eye... sounds like it's working out. Have you seen Red Dawn? How about Red Sorghum?

I like Hunt for the Red October. We get red, and we get Fall. Both are a good thing. I'm loving the crisp cool air too, and was having some of the same thoughts, Gretchen.

Red Sonja is my favorite barbarian. RedRum is my favorite scary word. Killian's Red is a good beer.

I love the way I don't have to run the ceiling fan at night anymore.

Red in Shashank Redemption played by Morgan Freeman is one of my most favorite movie characters.

I love the fall weather too. When we flew in on Saturday from Dallas where it had been 95 degrees every day (but surprisingly felt like 80), I was enthralled by the breezy cool air. California has great weather!! Especially in the fall.

before long all the leaves will be turning golden and red, then brown. Fall is definitely in the air. Last night was one of our coolest yet since summer!

Still a nice blog gretchen! and an interesting read on will's as well. I decided due to my youth and inexperience that I should refrain from the conversation. (c:
