2pm Sunday, The Virgin Suicides dir. Sofia Coppola, Academy Museum/David Geffen Theater

This was a transformative week at the movies for me. Following a sinus infection that made me write things like “remember what it felt like to not be congested?” in my journal, my spirits were not the highest when I parked at the mysteriously small lot under the Academy Museum. You know those days when nothing other than going to the movies sounds like a good idea? That.

I’ve written about how much I enjoy this museum before, but it was never cuter than that morning with everyone dressed in their best Lisbon Sisters attire. Emily and I saved our seats (4th row, left side) then ran back downstairs to Fanny’s to chug iced coffees before the screening, because food and drinks are strictly banned from the David Geffen theater (which I think is a bummer).
