Against the Grain

I hate when I read or watch something that the rest of the world raves about and seems to think it’s the best thing since sliced bread, and I don’t like it.  It happens quite often, like with the Kill Bill movies… or Monty Python.   It makes me feel like I have no taste, or can’t appreciate art.  I know …

Surrounded

Every year my husband and I decide what we are going to get for Christmas.  One year we tried doing the surprise gift thing and we didn’t like it much, we prefer our method of just saying what we want and going to get it.   That way we are 100% sure we will like what we get.   I guess some …

Judgement Night

For the last few weeks things have been really tight here financially.  With our trip to Canada and our end of year bills, we were so broke we squeaked.  Thankfully things turned around the other day when money we were waiting for had come in.    I’ve been on a huge cross stitching kick lately and wanted some new new threads, …

Summer is Late

… but it’s finally here! Today was such a great day, we woke up and the sun was shining and it was like summer had been here all along.   People were out in their shorts and tank tops enjoying the weather, it was great. At 11am we went to see the new Fantastic Four movie, which was really good!  Part …

Chocolate Makes Everything Better

Friday afternoon my friend Penny came over for the afternoon to watch some chick flicks.  We watched Studio 54 and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.  After my KD and Wieners I had a craving for regular hotdogs so we went and picked some up at the Plus (our local supermarket). When we got home we went straight to the kitchen …

To Punish and Enslave

Last night Xander and I went to see the new Transformers movie… it was… oh I dunno…  ABSOLUTELYFREAKINAWESOME!!! Xander has been dying to see it and for me it was more of a ‘sure I’ll go’ situation.  I mean, Transformers?  Seriously, what’s next G.I. Joe?   I didn’t think it was going to be anything that fantastic but since he really …

Movie Therapy

Over the last week I’ve been trying to forget my work woes by diving into one of my favorite pastimes – watching movies!   Not that I don’t do this all the time anyway but I’ve been doing it even more lately. Last Saturday I went into town with friends Penny and Lynda to grab some lunch and see a movie.  …

Movie Review – Saw 3

I went to see this movie today with friends.   About 10 minutes into it I was wondering if I was going to be able to sit through the whole thing.   I love psychological thrillers and horror movies but not when they go out of their way to be gorey.  I’m sure there are people who love the gore and would …

Movie Review – The Holiday

Today I went together with a few gal pals to see The Holiday.   We loved it!   If you are into chick flicks, this is definitely for you.  Leave the man at home and get your girlfriends together to go see this movie.   If you drag your man to see it, he’ll probably hate you for it.  You’ve been warned. All …

Seven Sleeps

There’s only a week left until December, seven days until I get to turn my flat into a christmasy wonderland! Which is how long I have left to finish my tree skirt, YIKES!   I get the feeling I might be putting the tree up and adding the skirt later as I don’t know if I can cram that much quilting into the …

Babel FTL!!!

For those non-gamer non-geek-speak people out there, FTL means FOR THE LOSE! I honestly felt like I should be on 24 hour suicide watch after walking out of that movie. What a fucking drag.
