Italy and Spain

So, I haven't kept up with this blog very well yet, but I am going to Italy next week and hope to post all my activities and events and findings from Rome! Also, Spain is my vote for World Cup!!!! Viva España!

World Cup Day 1/Story time with Kathleen

So the World Cup 2010 started today! It's a pretty big deal I guess. I didn't watch the first 2 games but I plan to watch as many as I am able to because I do enjoy watching. I am a soccer fan. I used to play soccer a lot and I think it is really exciting. I think possible teams to win are Brazil, France, and Italy. Thoughts? I hope South Africa does well. I loved seeing the adorable Desmond Tutu on tv tonight having such a great time! so cute :)

Anyways. Still not certain of this blog's future... I guess I don't find myself interesting enough to imagine people actually reading and following my blog. But it is fun for me so I guess that is the most important.

I think some of my blog will consist of movie reviews etc. And hopefully books to if I can manage to make it through one in less than a year! One of the great challenges of Kathleen...reading. more on this later!

So tonight we watched Dan In Real Life. I remember seeing it on a plane trip somewhere or other and remember really liking it. I still liked it! Don't you hate it when you loved a movie the first time(s) you saw it and come back to it years later only to find out it sucked? Big time? I have an excellent example of this: Finian's Rainbow, with Fred Astaire and lots of nobodies. My sister and I watched it countless times around St. Patrick's Day for years when we were younger. When we hadn't see it in a couple years and longed to watch it we tried to find it, to no avail. We asked everyone we knew if they had heard of it and if they knew where to buy it etc... we went on and on about how wonderful this movie was... well... let me tell you, we found it, watched it, and HATED it. With a passion. It wasn't just like we decided it was too childish for us then. This was THE most badly acted, stupid, dorky, horrible movie we had ever watched! Needless to say we were totally ashamed and embarrassed that we had gone on about it so much to all our acquaintances. I hope I haven't offended anyone by dissing this movie so much! We DID love it at one point in our lives - there must have been some reasons for that...? ANYWAYS! I am so glad Dan In Real Life was not one of these unfortunate cases!

First Ever Blog by CelloKat

Hello readers (probably consisting of my sister Corinne, and friend Luisa who introduced me to this site)!!!

My name is Kathleen aka CelloKat. I am a cellist hence the name CelloKat.

I have wanted to write a blog for quite some time now, especially after watching the movie Julie and Julia and discovering A Blog About Things on YouTube. I love watching the video blogs of ABlogAboutThings and find Pat and Caroline's tv recaps hilarious! I have also been inspired by Timaya/Qaadir on YouTube. He is a student from the states and just kills me! Qaadir usually uploads videos about his experiences, good and bad, funny and serious... so I started to wonder if I could jot down some of my experiences, plans, stories, etc. We'll see how it goes :)
