Last night Jen rented a couple movies, one being Julie & Julia and she really liked it. The true story features a girl who cooks her way through Julia Child’s cookbook and then blogs about it, just like I’m blogging right now. By the way, it took Jen two days to watch it so beware of the over two hour length if you plan on renting it. I happened to catch the scene with a shot of the Long Island City NY Citibank building and asked where they were. Turns out the main characters live in the city where I will be going to school, which of course made me want to watch it. I am amazed by how things are just meant to happen. What are the chances? Yes, the movie on its own was very entertaining, but it was exciting to recognize so many LIC landmarks and neighboring boroughs referenced. The main character preferred Brooklyn to Queens and I don’t blame her, but I would not hate to have the apartment in the movie. It was like 900 square feet, which is huge for the city, and right over a pizza parlor. We have always said we want our place to be over a market, café, or bakery. Needless to say this movie felt like another nudge from God to give it a shot. Jen, on the other hand, could relate to Julia’s love of eating and felt a nudge to cook. Ha! Bon Appetite!
