Happy Hump Day: Henry Cavill

6a00d8341c606d53ef0115709f554f970b-800wi

I seriously think the term GQMF was created for Henry Cavill.

The hubs and I just recently got into The Tudors and have been obsessively watching Seasons 1 through 3. I have to say, my mind is frazzled with all the drama and political history, but there sure is eye candy in the form of one Henry Cavill (sorry, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, you freak me out). Cavill plays Charles Brandon, the Duke of Suffolk who is a close friend of the King’s and a member of his council. I am completely serious when I say that I don’t think I’ve ever laid eyes on someone more handsome. Even the hubs has to give him props for being “one good looking dude.” So enjoy this lovely picspam, ladies, and let me know if you agree with me 😉

Looking Forward to Fall

I don’t think it’s a secret: I love TV. A lot. The hubs and I have quite the DVR queue and we are proud to list off all our favorite shows, often to other’s complete horror. It’s hard to believe that a few years ago, I never watched TV. In fact, the only way I would get hooked on a series was if a friend let me borrow their DVD’s. Now I can’t live without it! There really is nothing like coming home, cracking open a beer and disconnecting from reality for a good few hours.

That brings me to summer. Summer is usually an amazing time filled with sun, fun and friends. But it is a terrible time for an avid TV watcher: no new shows. I have to admit, it’s been pretty difficult. We’ve had to fill the void by adding new series to our Netflix queue (The Tudors, Mad Men, Flight of the Conchords, etc.), but it just isn’t the same. I miss my shows. And thankfully the wait is almost over (well, except for LOST)! September is right around the corner and with it brings new programming!

What am I the most pumped for?

Weekend Highlights!

On Friday night, we joined friends to see District-9. I had very high expectations (I think I’ve spoken about this movie a million times on the blog!), and I am so happy to say that they met and at times, exceeded them. I thought it was such a beautiful film. I’ve heard some negativity towards the film, but I think that’s due to people having a set idea of what to expect. This movie is not what you think and that’s what makes it so wonderful!

After hearing about this movie for months and attending a panel at Comic-Con, I am so excited the premiere date for District-9 is here! We have tickets to a showing tonight with a group of friends and I can’t wait! In case you are one of the 4 people that have not heard of this movie, it is set in a time where aliens have landed on Earth, but have been segregated from the general public in an area called District-9. I’ll make sure to put together a review come Monday as part of my weekend highlights for all of you!

Elijah <3's Lomo

Elijah Wood has been a fan of lomography for some time now, but he just decided to join the site as their newest amigo! A gallery of over 80 intimate photos has been uploaded to the site taken by Elijah and his trusty LC-A+ depicting travels, friends and general good times. Also surprised to see that Elijah is such a great photographer and does such a great job capturing moments – makes me love him even more! My favorite shot? The series of Radio Flyers – I know it has to be an homage to the ’92 flick he starred in, which happens to be one of my favorite childhood movies.

Want to see some of our Lomo shots?
