Number one this Friday has got to be my brand new, sparkling Macbook! I am sure I have the best hubby in the world – he is always thinking of me and what would make me happy. Boy, was he right on the money! I couldn’t be happier being able to blog from any corner of my house and have lightning speed Internet. I am in love. I can’t wait to further customize it and call it my own 🙂
Are we fuck-up’s?
That is the question that John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph’s characters ask themselves in the film, Away We Go, as they realize that they are expecting their first child, are in their mid-30’s, not married & still searching for a place to call home. I couldn’t be happier that my friend Roxy and I were able to catch this limited release flick after missing out on the advanced screening of 500 Days of Summer Tuesday night. I completely adored this endearing movie in so many ways.
The movie revolves around the couple as they try to find “the right place” to raise their child and begin this new chapter in their lives. They visit several friends and family members along the way and learn valuable lessons about themselves as a couple, how they want to raise their children and sometimes how unfair life can be. All the characters were amazing and so very real (even Maggie Gyllenhaal’s crazy hippie persona). And I especially liked how (for once) Hollywood portrayed a couple that was truly in love and ready to battle whatever life sent their way as long as they were together (wedding ring or not).
I was really able to relate and I think other couples will too. It is both a hysterically funny and thought-provoking movie. I can’t recommend it enough. I laughed & cried until tears rolled down my face. I definitely suggest making this one a date movie as you will want to snuggle into your significant other several times throughout and it will surely give way to a lot of lovey-dovey conversations afterwards.
I will leave you with perhaps the best line from a movie I have heard in some time:
“I promise to love you even if I can’t find your vagina.”
Since I am feeling a little under the weather due to my allergies deciding to mutate and become the most annoying cold overnight and just generally feel a little less than inspired, today’s post will lack focus. So sit back and enjoy some of the random items that have caught my eye on the grand old Internets:
Images from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland have surfaced and oh my holy God does it look amazing. Do I seriously have to wait until 2010?
My fear has subsided! My precious ZQ has appeared on the set of Heroes! And looking mighty fine while doing so if I may add!
Have you seen the site, Geeky Tattoos? It is an excellent mid-workday time-waster and will make you chuckle repeatedly.
John & Kate (plus hate) have officially filed for divorce. Does this mean we never have to see or hear from them again? Because that would be super.
Nothing made me laugh harder than seeing vampire, Bill Compton, shopping in Forever 21 during Sunday’s episode of True Blood. I wonder if he picked up some fabulous finds?
Tomorrow we will be back to our regularly scheduled program – no worries, ladies – I have not forgotten that it is hump day and already have a hottie lined up to make the work week more bearable, promise. No sickness could keep me away from delivering the hotness!
Anyone want to bring me soup? Or antihistamines?
I had a musical beginning to my weekend on Friday night thanks to my husband’s place of employment: Agency Net. Always a big fan of ANET events, I was really excited when they announced a karaoke night for employees and their significant others and friends. Although I really didn’t plan on singing (definitely not my strong point), I was having so much fun that I did partake in a few threesomes and group songs (although staying as far from the mic as possible). Don’t believe how hilarious & fun these people are? Check out the video under the jump:
This lovable link comes straight from my husband, Augi. He frequents a Russian photo blog and thought of me when he saw this post. It’s a collection of beautifully decorated and presented sweets. Plenty of inspiration for your wedding’s candy buffet (are those still in vogue?) or next party. Although not a big sweets fan (I favor ice cream much more), I can appreciate it’s beauty in photos and the joy it brings others. OK, so I’ve been known to stuff my face every now & then with the rest of them – I can’t lie! 😉
