if i haver: january 2, 2011 // quarterlife crisis

Well, here I am.. on the brink of twenty-five years of life. Tomorrow at this time I will have a quarter-century's worth experience under my belt. So crazy! Last night I celebrated my birthday with a few of my friends here in Connecticut. We did something I've wanted to do for a while - we had a "drive-in movie" in my garage. I bought the cutest mini projector and set up a popcorn machine and firepit (Connecticut garage in January = cold!) for the occasion.

I've been kind of obsessed with Prince lately (who isn't..)..it all started back in California when my Roadie team and I watched Purple Rain on one of our afternoons off. I had bought the DVD for $3.00 from a Ross store. I didn't really care much about Purple Rain, but it was on a double feature DVD with Fame.. a movie which I had seen and wanted to own. Little did I know that I would be purchasing a new obsession on that fateful discount department store visit. From the first time that we saw the movie on, Purple Rain has become a way of life of sorts among my West Coast friends. Hoping to "spread the word", I decided to show the movie at my drive-in party last night.
