Things I love – July

Uncategorized

July 3, 2013

I have been really terrible at keeping my series going lately! This one hasn’t been as consistent as it was in the past and I actually decided not to do the Instagram review at all anymore (if you want to see my Instagrams, just follow me! @photo_katie). I still want to keep this one going though as much as I can because I love doing giveaways!! They’re so much fun!

One of my big loves lately is watching movies while I’m editing. Or really, having a movie on in the background. Preferably a movie I’ve seen before, or one that doesn’t take much effor to watch…basically I couldn’t edit and watch Inception at the same time. Haha. Editing doesn’t really take that much mind power, so an easy movie is a great accompaniment! I’ve been watching movies on cable and netflix, but not too long ago I treated myself to a few of my favorites on Blu ray! John and I rarely buy Blu rays because he hates watching movies more than one time. Me on the other hand, I love re-watching my favorites movies (and rereading my favorite books!), so buying movies is something that I could easily become addicted to.

The last two I bought were: 10 Things I Hate About You, and 500 Days of Summer! Obviously I love movies with numbers in the title (and Joseph Gordon Levitt…)! Kidding aside, they’re both two of my FAVORITE movies. I wasn’t allowed to watch a lot of teen movies when I was growing up, and 10 Things is one of the ones I was actually allowed to see, so it kind of has a special place in my heart! Also, I really love music and 500 Days of Summer has one of my favorite movie soundtracks of all time! So good! I think if I could choose another dream career it might be picking movie soundtracks! Wouldn’t that be so much fun? If you love the 500 days of Summer soundtrack, check out the Garden State soundtrack! It’s another one of my all time favorites!!

This month I am giving away your choice of a copy of 10 Things I Hate About You or 500 Days of Summer! To enter to win, just leave a comment on this post with either your favorite teen movie, or your favorite movie soundtrack! I’ll pick a winner on Monday:)

    Why have I not seen 500 Days of Summer?! My favorite soundtrack from a teen movie would have to be Gardenstate also and my movie was Love and Basketball. I have it on VHS, but really need to find it on DVD so I can replay those memories!

    Omg Katie we are the same! I love re-watching movies and re-reading books too! And it sounds fun having a movie going on in the background while editing! I love 10 Things I hate about you and it’s one of those movies I’ve seen a million times and can not get tired of! i’ve never watched 500 Days of Summer, but it looks like i’ll have to get to that soon so I can start loving that one too!
    My favourite movie though is A Walk to Remember and actually it is also from that movie my favourite soundtrack comes from. i’m so addicted to that one (I’ve even started reading the book – I feel like such a fan girl) and have watched it over and over and over again and i cry every time I watch it! Recently I’ve watched Safe Haven too and I’m still not sure if that one will take the lead in being my favourite movie. I’ll have to watch it a few more times before I decide because a favourite movie HAS to be one you can watch several times over and over again, right?! 😉

    Have a great day! and I love these kind of posts “Things I love” because it is so great to know that someone shares my love for the same movie and such! 🙂
