Juno

Last night saw Juno by myself at the Piedmont Theater. I had dinner at the Bar & Grill across the street. The bartender/waitress, Katie?, was so dear, called me sweetie, told me that I didn't look old enough to have a five year old.

They have a chalkboard with the movies playing across the street, and you can cast your vote for whether or not you liked them. I told Katie I was seeing Juno and she positively gushed over it. So I came back after the movie to cast my vote and tell her how much I loved it.

Super sweet movie, the main character is whip smart and very grounded. The teenage boy is so endearing and earnest. I realize I have a teeny crush on Jason Bateman, although his is a pretty ambivalent character.

The music was all great, acoustic singer/songwriter stuff. I need to get the soundtrack. The twist in the movie broke my heart, spent the last 20 minutes with little tears sparkling at the corners of my eyes.

As I left the Bar & Grill, Katie said "have a good night sweetie!"
