Half-birthdays

Do we ever really celebrate half birthdays? I know there are sixth month land marks for relationships and such, but birthdays? I think the closest we come to that is as kids, referring to our age down to the fraction. We never really pinpoint what day is our half birthday, but we might generally know that we are not 4 but actually 'four and uh-haff'.

Well while it is no celebration, today marks the 6 month anniversary since I started my Breadcrumb project. I could be worded as an anniversary, it could also be considered a birthday as 6 months ago this project was born. Either works. Regardless, since its inception I have been challenged to find new things to take picture of on days I don't seemingly go anywhere new, and other days, travel somewhere new in order to get a new photo. Sometimes I'll take a walk, or go a different way back from class or from work to both get a new subject for the picture, but also to see something new for myself. So it has been an all around positive experience and once I am glad to have started.

Invitations have been sent out for Movie Night number 2. For the second week, I have decided to show The Brothers Bloom. I am already excited about the night. While I am nervous about everyone's reception of the film, I am also excited that already there are more people RSVP'd as coming than came last time, and we still have 2 more days before the screening.

If you can't be there and you have not seen the movie I do suggest checking it out. It is a really smoothly done con-man film with an emotional core to it that really sets it apart from most con movies while also having a quirkiness to it that makes all of the main characters stand out and feel fresh.

Thanks for reading.
