Morning Bloggers!
There's nothing better than taking a break from biology on Saturday mornings to do some blogging. This is the second consecutive week I have been able to post on the weekends, so this is a milestone for me, since I am very busy with work during the weekend.

About 2 weeks ago I watched Across The Universe, and the film was amazing.



The film was defiantly like no other. It was a tribute to the Beatles, every song being by them, and it was very well done. If you grew up during the 60's you'll probably appreciate the movie, more than the rest of us can, but it is still enjoyable for the rest.

There were some really great singers and actors in the film.

Jim Sturgess


Joe Anderson, my personal favorite.

Evan Rachel Wood, who you may remember from the indie film Thirteen



And there's plenty more also in the film.

And since the film I've been watching many of the Beatles videos, and I've started to notice something, not only from the Beatles but from my obsession with Harry Potter.





Maybe it's only me but Daniel Radcliffe, better known as J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter greatly resembles the famous John Lennon. I see it.


Now I'm off to go study more biology, but be sure to watch SNL with Ellen Page and Wilco tonight! It's sure to be great.

Live From New York, It's Saturday Night!

I've only got a few moments to spare from my packed weekend of tons and tons of work, but I thought I needed to post about the monumental airing of SNL.



Finally Saturday Night Live is back from the writer's strike, making my homework filled Saturday nights a bit more enjoyable.

Though I have to admit, the show wasn't as funny as I expected it to be, but maybe my expectations are just a bit too high. However I did have some enjoyable parts, especially weekend update.





And for more exciting SNL news, how about a new cast member?!
That's right I guess the writer's strike kicked in the need for a new cast member, and they got one, Casey Wilson. I can't say much about her yet, she hasn't had very big parts, but hey if she's on SNL I'm sure she's pretty funny.



And sad news, there's rumors going around that Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph may not return next season, I don't think there's anyone who can replace those ladies.




Amy Poehler in her awesome GAP ads.


Maya Rudolph in my absolute favorite role she'll ever play, Donatella Versache (who she's with)

So what direction SNL will go, I have no idea, but as for next week - Ellen Page from Juno will host and the musical guest will be Wilco!





I am very excited!

Love With The Proper Stranger

Hey Bloggies, I've come to update you with a movie

I am no fan of old movies, but I just recently saw a TV showing of "Love With a Proper Stranger" and I loved it! It was really well done. The film is about 44 years old, released on Christmas in 1963, it was also was nominated for 5 Oscars.



The movie takes a look at 2 strangers and the odd times they go through finding their place. I recommend the film even if you're not a fan of old movies, I'm usually not and I still adored it. Another thing to adore is the head actor, Steve Mcqueen who looks just amazing in the film.



I love his old fashion oh so handsome look, but he wasn't the only character to adore there was also the gorgeous Natalie Wood.



Natalie Wood's beauty is astounding, and she has a classic fashion sense to follow. Her fashion is very of the era, and very lovely.
























Photos from the film.









So if any of you busy bloggers have some down time, Love With The Proper Stranger is the way to go.

One year and 76 posts later!

Hello Bloggers!

This past week a very important date passed by that I've just remembered. Last Tuesday on the 15th of January of 2008 was the one year anniversary of Sun and Tan. I started January 15th of 2007! I'm really excited that I have been able to keep up with the blog for this long, and I don't plan on going anywhere soon, so hopefully many more years to come of Sun and Tan! If I was old enough I would most defiantly drink to this happy occasion!



And to celebrate this occasion I've gone out and found myself the perfect dress!



Now it's time to thank all of you bloggers that I've gotten to know over the past year. I'm so thankful for all the comments and feedback I get, and I wouldn't still be blogging if it weren't for all of you fellow bloggers! Thanks for one fabulous year!

floral, floral - maxi !

Well, school is back in session, and though my work load has been considerbly light, for some reason I haven't come around to posting. But I'm here now!

Because of the unseasonably warm weather I've experience days ago, I really got in the mood of spring & summer clothing. A favorite has been the romantic, fun, and fresh floral prints. They remind me so much of old wedding outfits. Whether in a skirt, scarf, dress, or top they are perfect outfits for the upcoming (actual) spring.
