The Wine Basket

I went to a fundraiser with my extended family yesterday which consisted of lunch, fashion show and raffle/silent auction. The food was excellent and the dessert was a generous portion of lemon pie (generous by my standards is, indeed, quite generous). My personal favorite for the afternoon, however, was the raffle, in which I won a wine basket. I wanted it because it included a box of chocolates. I got my chocolates and was made very happy. As a fun extra, it included several boxes of various crackers and pretzels, glasses and polka dot hand towels and twelve bottles of wine. I also look forward to using the insulated picnic basket the batch came in this summer on a fun venture outdoors!

Super

Movies can be hit or miss. I'm always very excited, therefore, when a movie with a great premise and promising execution emerges into the full beam of Hollywood's limelight. I'm not particularly news-savvy when it comes to remaining up-to-date on current affairs, so I usually hear about such matters through friends who are somewhat news-competent. This is how I came to hear about "Super."

To those familiar with the tv show "The Office", all I need say is it's a comedy about Dwight's actor as a superhero. Given that information alone, I'm already anxious to see it upon its release in a week. The very fact of my eagerness then further amplifies my general delight, in that rarely do I hear about a movie before its release, and thus rarely have the opportunity to become enthusiastic. But this year is brimming with potential in the fanciful world of cinema. 

Also due to come out this year are multiple superhero movies: "Thor", "Captain America" and "Green Lantern". Also the final installment of the "Harry Potter" series. Beyond this summer buzz is another rendition of "The Three Musketeers" in October!
