A Fall List

It's strange to think that Labor Day has passed us by.  As in the end of summer.  I remember Memorial Day weekend going to the bar/restaurant (RIP) down the street from me for brunch and the bartender giving out free drinks, resulting in me stumbling home sloshed at 11 am.  It feels like it was just a couple of weeks ago.  However, as the quote goes, "I saw a flock of birds flying north today.  If they can move on after the summer, so can I".

Here are some things I'm looking forward to falling for this fall:

- pumpkin and/or apple flavored beverages and food
- fall leaves
- Halloween costumes
- Thanksgiving
- light jackets, scarves, and boots
- football!!
- cozy music (Jens Lekman, The Avett Brothers, and Mumford and Sons all have new albums coming out)
- open windows
- camping and making s'mores on an open fire
- the smell of cinnamon
- the return of "good" tv

fall movies from books

The folks over at Book Riot created a list of the top 12 fall movies from books.  I.... disagree with their order.  So here is the list and below is my list.  Clearly The Great Gatsby would be at number one.  But considering it's now being released in 2013..... We all have the same thoughts on the last Twilight movie.

12. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2
11. Les Miserables (Dec. 14)
10. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Dec. 14)
