I don't make changes to this journal but infrequently. I learned that my main page was S1, not S2, so it's been updated to such a theme. I don't look at my userpage all that often, and I don't expect that many on my f-list do either since I assume that, like me, they read my entries on their Friends' Pages ( Read more... )

Beginning a mere nine days from now, six movies that I'm really looking forward to seeing will be released over six weeks. I'm not sure I could go back and find a span of six weeks to match this. I knew May was going to be an excellent month for movies, but it's preceded by a couple of good ones.
