Girlfriends

PS I watched Blue Crush first with Tom. He has weakness for surfing movies, well particularly when they involve beautiful women in bikinis. It wasn't terrible per se.
Then I watched Kissing Jessica Stein. I was walking past the racks and it jumped out at me. I think actually Erika planted it in my subconscious. I really liked it. It wasn't dark or too hung up on the whole societal view of lesbianism. In the past year I have really come to understand the fluidity of sexuality. I have always felt like I've had an open mind, but that is a realm I had never had the opportunity to explore before. I would recommend this film for someone else who feels this way. I can see myself being like Jessica with her ridiculous ideas about the "mechanics" of it all. It also has a great ending which is important because all too often movies bum me out when it comes the final scenes. Oh, and Barb (my SIL) you MUST rent this if you haven't seen it already.

I seriously loved that movie. I think I kind of related to Jessica in some weird way. :)

We saw this movie when it came to our litte Riley Street Cinema. The Theater has 3 screens and only shows "indys". We go often and love it.
You know, you love your job for all the right reasons. I can't wait to have children, so they can see what a great impact their Aunt Alisa has had and will have in the lives of so many kids and hopefully theirs. You Rock, and I Love You!!! Love to my Bro!!!!!
