Last night my mom and I stayed up late watching Julie & Julia on the new big screen tv. Its one of those feel good movies (read chick flick) about a woman named Julie who cooked all of the recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking: Volume 1. As the beginning of the movie states, its based on two true stories...the story of Julia Child and the story of Julie-some-random-girl-from-nyc. It was a great way to end the day after attempting to make a buche de noel, and definitely inspired me to write my last entry. In fact, the movie was just inspiring in general. I love quest movies. There's just something that resonates deep within me when the main character is on a quest for Mordor, or figuring out what it is that they were meant to do. I have come to realize that pretty much anyone can do just about anything. I mean there are certain limitations, but generally speaking anyone can cook, anyone can write, anyone can paint, anyone can be an engineer, etc. Its just about finding what makes you really tick. What floats your boat. Or any of those other cliched metaphors.
Personally, I'm still on that quest. So far, I've been a secretary, a personal assistant, a lab tech, a grad student, a photo shoot production assistant, a stylist, a social media consultant, a web developer, and a technical assistant. Maybe one of theses days one of those things will stick.
