Weekend Highlights

Since I don’t post on weekends, I’ve decided that maybe Monday’s should recap all the fun or maybe not-so-fun things that happened Friday through Sunday. Does that sound like a good idea? Let me know! You all know I love comments & I don’t get enough of them!

So here we go, my weekend roundup:

– I finished watching the So NoTORIous episodes. It was hilarious. I want my own GBFF.
– Gwen became very concerned while watching Tori’s pug, Mimi La Rue.
– OK, I just discovered Mimi La Rue died. Sadness! May the little ham stuffed in a doile rest in peace.

FML

I know you have had one of those days. The kind where everything seems to go wrong or you just cannot believe that just happened. The kind of days that make you want to punch babies. Hard.

Well, on days like those, it is always best to know that someone else’s day was worse. Way worse.

And that is what makes fmylife so ridiculously amazing.
It is a website that compiles people’s horrible stories about their embarrassing, hilarious and sometimes just plain awful experiences on a certain day causing them to say…you guessed it…fmylife.

I admit that I have spent entirely too much time on this site laughing so hard I scare innocent bystanders. Try it. You’ll be addicted.

Comic Con 2009

comicconpressI know I made mention of this in my old blog, but I figured since it is only 4 months away (!!!!) I could bring it up again here on my new pretty spot. This year, I will be attending Comic-Con International in San Diego to celebrate my 2_ birthday! I cannot be more excited for anything. Ever.

For those of you who are not familiar with Comic Con, it is ultimately a comic book convention that turned into so much more. It’s now probably one of the biggest pop culture events in the US housing all sorts of toys, art, and games along with plenty of appearances from celebrities that feed into the geek culture. Basically, it’s like Disney World for nerds. And it is fun. And we are going. And I’m so excited. Because, yes people, I am a nerd.

Snuggie Revolution

Quite possibly the two most amazing things ever happened to me last night and they all revolved around the infamous blanket with sleeves: the Snuggie.

While out at a new club with some girlfriends, I noticed there was a woman sitting in the corner of a couch wearing a red snuggie. No joke. This chick was at a club (on South Beach no less) wrapped up in a freaking snuggie. Best part is she never took it off the entire night. This was such a momentous occasion that I had to tweet about it. And tweet I did.

On my way home, I was checking my Twitter (FYI, please don’t tweet and drive) and amongst some hilarious replies from friends, I received one in particular that literally made me laugh out loud:

SnuggieSighting: @mrszero get a picture and send to SnuggieSightings.com please

Seriously? Oh yes, it is serious.
So serious that apparently Snuggie Sighting has its own blog where they post among other things…get ready for it…Snuggie pub crawls. Yes, they exist. What I want to know is….how can we host one?

It’s a Snuggie world, people. We just live in it.

Who Watches the Watchmen?

Well…I do!

A group of us (9 to be exact) went Saturday night to the Aventura theater to watch Watchmen in one of their IMAX theaters. I had the pleasure of reading the comic before sitting down to watch the movie, and I am so glad I did. My first opinion of the movie was that someone who did not read the comic would probably not understand it or hate it altogether because it did a great job replicating the comic, which tended to be a bit disjointed. With that said, I absolutely loved it. I thought it did the comic great justice and really nailed a lot of the main characters, especially Rorschach. Some scenes were panel-perfect and a lot of the dialogue stayed true to the original. I was pleasantly surprised to see that a lot of scenes I thought would be omitted were not and I was very happy with the intro – overall, I give it two thumbs up and would love to see it again, 3 hours and all!

But, I had some gripes although few (warning: SPOILERS under cut):
