The Bungalow

I actually really wanna see this movie.... :-D

Hubby and I went out on a double date last night to dinner and a movie. We saw This Means War. It was awesome. It was also completely ridiculous, but it's a movie that is aware of its ridiculousness so that makes it awesome. It was entirely predictable, but still quite funny. There were several places where the whole theater was laughing out loud. Including my husband and he is very picky. So, yeah. Definitely recommend it. 4/5

We've also started watching a Canadian TV series through Netflix - Slings and Arrows. It stars Paul Gross as an actor who takes over as director of a large theater festival when the current director dies. A young Rachel McAdams is one of the costars, too. It's fantastic. Weird and kooky and everything Canadian TV is. I wish we got more Canadian series down here. Seriously, they're fantastic.

I also watched the livestream of "8" last night when we got home. For those that don't know, "8" is a play that was written by Dustin Lance Black that is a dramatic retelling of the trials that led to the repealing of Prop 8 in California. I say "dramatic retelling" because it's highly condensed, but it doesn't seem like it was overly dramatized into, like, a Lifetime Movie of the Week thing, if that makes sense. It's definitely worth watching if you can find the two hours to spare. It's up here on YouTube.

With most TV shows being on their winter hiatus, I've finally managed to make my way through some of my Netflix queue. Here are some reviews of my recent watches: Horrible Bosses, You Again and Morning Glory.

So, yeah. That's it! :-)

It seems like it's been forever since I've posted, like, real life stuff and not just fandom ramblings. So, I shall do some of that now. :-)

Work is driving me nuts, a little bit. But, this is nothing new. I may have posted about this before, where I'm trying to get very specific information that I need in order to do my job and was getting the run around of everyone telling me to ask everyone else. I think I finally got the someone to listen, gave them some more information that they were asking for, and got in response "Wow! That's going to be a lot of information. Are you sure that's what you need?" YES!! THAT'S WHAT I NEED!! I know it's a lot of information, but I NEED IT TO DO MY JOB. Please give it to me. I swear, I'm getting ready to pull my hair out with this.

Had my second ballet class this past Friday. The babysitting went much better. I was a little worried as Martouf has actually been going down for naps around that time now because of the teething. I was concerned he was just going to be super fussy, but he was just fine. He almost fell asleep in the car on the way home, but luckily it's a short drive and I managed to feed him a bottle before nap time. As for me, I showed up to class with my shins wrapped as a preemptive strike against my shin splints acting up. The teacher was all "Are you okay?" Yeah, it's fine. And it actually was. Class wasn't too bad. Until the end. We're getting ready to do the final combination or whatever and she asks if I'm up for jumping. My shins are feeling fine so I agree. However, if I had known what she was going to make us do, I may have declined. 64 CHANGEMENTS. Now, 99% of you probably have no idea what that is. What it is, is starting in fifth position (which is the feet crossed, heel to toe and toe to heel), you jump up, switch which foot is in front and land and repeat. And it's quick. Up down up down up down. Here's sort of an OK vid if you want to see what I'm talking about. Yeah. 64 of those in a row. That was not fun. I was IN PAIN yesterday. Ugh. My calves, too. Not just the shins. Oy.

I went to see I Am Number Four last weekend when Erin was here. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. ( Some spoilers )

My Glee Tickets are still for sale. If you know anyone who might want them. :-)

The Oscars are tonight! Yay!! I've actually seen some of the nominated movies this year, so I think I actually have things to be rooting for. :-) Can't wait to see what everyone's wearing! Hehe.

Something that's somewhere between "Didn't Like It" and "Liked It." You know those movies that were just OK. You may not necessarily watch them again, but you don't feel like you just wasted two hours having sat through it. They were just "Meh." /randomthoughts
