A weekend with Jess + Moss

It seems our apartment has been the center for inspiration these days.  And a lot of the inspiration comes from movies we've been watching.  Our local video store features a wall of indie films mixed right in with the latest Hollywood blockbusters.  It's the perfect mix.  Films by up and coming filmmakers and artists on a minimal budget straddled between Sherlock Holmes and The Muppets on gargantuan budgets.  It's a nice balance.

So, we got sucked in this last weekend.  We've started Game of Thrones...which is amazing!  It's like Lord of the Rings meets Braveheart.  Yes, please.  Anyway, we also picked up a little film entitled Jess + Moss and it was beautiful.  It felt like it was filmed entirely at sunset and was full of scenes that encapsulated the feeling of nostalgia.  The movie was simple but with scenes filled with artful and magical cinematography.  I think you get the picture, I liked it.

If you're feeling like venturing into the indie film world, I'd highly recommend this one.  And would you look at that...I've even posted the trailer:)

Brew ha-ha!

It was around 10:30 PM the other night that Ross and I decided it was time to bottle our beer that had been sitting in my cabin (my craft room) for three weeks. We bought a kit called 'Speckled Heifer' that is suppose to be similar to the infamous brew in Wisconsin called 'Spotted Cow'. Haha, get it? Anywho, we'll let you know in 2 weeks how it tastes!
