Don’t ever say I didn’t do anything for you

Thanks to Google Analytics and good ol’ WordPress blog stats, I have been enlightened that the more I feature pretty boys on this blog, the more visitors I get. Hmm, what does that say about all of you? 😉

Anyways, in an attempt to give you all what you want, here’s a shot of Gavin Rossdale filming a new video for the song, Forever May You Run, off his Wanderlust album. I have a feeling this video will make it into my youtube favourites bin. Just a hunch. You know, just ‘cuz.

And I have to say that I am kind of angered at Mr. Rossdale. He recently released his spring tour dates and is not coming to South Florida. Instead he’s opting to head to Orlando again. In the middle of the week again. Curse you, Gavin. Curse you & your pretty little face.

Hmph.

Happy Birthday(s).

Today is a pretty awesome day.
Why?
Well first off, it’s 3/11 and everyone knows I love me some 311. Secondly, it’s my mother’s birthday and lastly, it is my brother-in-law’s birthday! That’s right. My mother and brother-in-law share the same birthday. The back story is pretty hilarious – ask me about it sometime 😉

These two people have made a pretty lasting impression on my life so I deemed it only appropriate to dedicate my blog post to them both today.

God is a DJ

A helluva crazy one!

Sunday night we were lucky enough to have tickets to see the sold out Girl Talk concert at the Culture Room. I believe our friend, Omar, is to thank for introducing us to this mashup king that goes by the stage name of Girl Talk. We were hooked almost instantaneously. It was just so much fun to listen to and Feed the Animals was definitely the album I would pop in when I needed to cheer up a bit. It’s often playing in the background as I’m doing paperwork in the office. My coworkers appreciate it. 😉

Girl Talk is known for his highly interactive live shows, often dropping all barriers and letting the audience join him on stage to better get the full effect. Our show was no different. About one minute into the set, everyone rushed the stage and Augi lifted me up to join them! Although it was super cool to be up on stage with him, watching him do his thing and groovin’, I realized I must be getting old because all the extremely young girls on stage were so violent and aggressive that I actually feared my life. No joke. It truly made me and Augi rethink our hope for a daughter – so terrifying to see the way some of these seemingly “little” girls were dancing.

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):

Watchmen Premiere
1. Watchmen Premiere

Finally after what feels like a terribly long wait, the Watchmen movie premieres tonight!!! I’ve been reading the comic (almost done with all 12) and must say it is amazing. I’ve heard early reviews already and the movie seems to live up to the greatness of the comic, which is quite the feat. The hubs and I along with about 10 of our friends (no joke) have tickets for Saturday at the IMAX theater. Much excitement.
