Happy Hump Day: Jeremy Renner

So. I saw The Avengers this past weekend (I know, last person on Earth), and I absolutely loved it (along with the rest of the world). Aside from ridiculously fun action scenes, the movie was a total eye candy dream, was it not? Something I was not expecting though was Jeremy Renner. I know it’s a terrible thing to say, it really is, but his face is not so much. HOWEVER, his body is ridiculous. AM I RIGHT, ladies?? I mean, I was totally feeling it. Especially in his male Katniss outfit (I know, Hawkeye and all that. I like my name for him better). Melificent approves.

Carry on.

Happy Hump Day: Mark Ruffalo

Honestly, what’s not to love about Mark Ruffalo? He is the perfect boy next door and seems to always pick some quality roles. Although I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that one of my favorites was him in 13 Going on 30 (I love that damn movie), I’m super excited to see him tackle the role of the Hulk in The Avengers next week. Mainly because I can’t wait to see him grappling with such a dark side.

Hunger Games Themed Party

This past weekend, I threw a Hunger Games themed birthday party for one of my closest friends, Lori. We gathered a group of hardcore fans of the book series and headed to see the film at Cinebistro with matching shirts that the hubs designed before heading over to our house to celebrate. I worked really hard on all the details, with help from the hubs and the bestie, and I was so happy with the way things turned out.

As for the movie, I think they did a good job. But, of course, a movie will never be as wonderful as a book. Never. Unfortunately, I think their biggest downfall was character development. There were a lot of relationships that were not delved into as they should have been and remained pretty superficial, but the acting was absolutely amazing. Jennifer Lawrence is my girl, yo.
