just watched "julie and julia" with my friend missy. with about 4 minutes left in the movie, we both voiced the thought we had probably kept in for the entire movie - this just makes us feel like we've done just about nothing with the past year of our lives. where julie began and finished an intense, life-changing project, i quit my job - only to start back again two months later for the same organization. missy manages a bookstore with her husband, where in the past year, she has gone through many forced wage and hour changes.
maybe, in this upcoming year, i'll keep my job. maybe missy won't move twice. maybe we'll actually get around to watching "v for vendetta" together. maybe her voice will stop squeaking, similarly to meryl streep's portrayal of julia child. but hopefully, a year from now, missy will still laugh whenever she thinks of her favorite scene (where she claims meryl sounded like a turkey) from the movie.
