The Last Station - AFI

The Last Station, directed by Michael Hoffman was screened at the AFI film festival last November 2009. The film is about the later years of Leo Tolstoy (Christopher Plummer). You may think the film will be too boring and intellectual, but really it a beautiful love story about Leo Tolstoy and his wife of 48 years Sofya Tolstoy (Helen Mirren). Valentin Bulgakov (James McAvoy), Leo Tolstoy's assistant is caught between Leo and Sofya's constant fighting.

Prior to the screening AFI paid Tribute to Christopher Plummer with a Q&A about his amazing career.

Hot at 63!

I've dreaded having to have blood drawn, not because I'm scared of needles, but because of the fact that I had to fast atleast 12 hours prior.

Just the thought of not being able to eat upset me. My morning was turned upside down. I couldn't work out! Even worse, I couldn't have coffee! By the time I got home I couldn't eat fast enough, ready to pass out!

I didn't last long before I had to take a nap, not getting much accomplished from my long list of things to do!

Instead of diving into work after the nap, I did some "research" (online star stalking). While on one of my favorite sites, Just Jared, I saw this picture of Helen Mirren:

Helen Mirren is one hot mama and she's 63!

GEEZ I want to look this good! So much for complaining about having to fast!

Okay, now off to my boring life... I have to write 2 quizzes and prepare for class tomorrow.

Have a great day!
