You know what's good without necessarily being able to explain why. You have taste, and that's not even half the battle - it's the whole war.

Today Kate and I went to the Cambridge Antiques Market and then to the Kendall theater to finally see "An Education".
It was absolutely amazing, and much more humorous than I'd expected it to be (based on the previews I saw, I had kind of been scared it would be really stuck up in an artsy way). The clothing was gorgeous and it really was just an incredible movie.
In keeping with its title, the film questions the worth of an academic education (something Jenny disregards as a waste of life), which actually is worth something if it pertains to your natural passions or can be twisted to work with them (a reality realized by Jenny after certain experiences and education in life).
Anyway, happy friday! More tiny art soon.
Love,
Amanda
