MOH-zilla!

So...I saw Bridesmaids recently
and it was hilarious. 


I won't give too much away, 
because I'm sure you want to see
it and not have it spoiled by me.


I highly recommend this flick,
because it's awesome AND
it has such a great cast!

Kristen Wiig
Maya Rudolph
Melissa McCarthy (aka Sookie in Gilmore Girls)
Rose Byrne
Chris O'Dowd (my favorite Irishman from The IT Crowd)
Jon Hamm (Need I say more?)
Ellie Kemper (The Office!)


And Brits that play Wiig's roommates
in the movie are amazingly funny.

There's a scene in the trailer with them.



"At first I didn't know it was your diary,
it thought it was a sad, handwritten book."

Go and see it.
If you want, I will go again.
Just sayin'.

I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, "Dude, you have to wait."

I lost my favorite necklace ever. 
It was a cool wooden heart with a bead on it
that I found at American Eagle. 

Don't hate on AE. 

It was an awesome necklace.
You'll be missed.


On a different note, I'm still loving
that Back to the Future is celebrating its 25th anniversary
with a new blu-ray edition of the film.

Check this out.
Tempted to ride it?
Well, don't. It's a cake.
You'll ruin it.

Great Scott!
That whole thing is a cake.
Again, don't try and walk around the town...
it may not be to scale.


And I am sooo tempted to make
my own version of the
"Jailbird Joey" cake.

"Better get used to these bars, kid."

SNL didn't let me down this past week
with awesome audition sketches for BTTF.



I already have the BTTF Trilogy on DVD,
but I don't think adding a blu-ray version will
hurt anything, do you?

What're you lookin' at butthead?

If you don't know where that title is from
then I suggest that you update your 
80s movie trivia knowledge.

It'll be useful at some point, I promise.

However, I have allowed 
some of my 80s trivia to seep out 
of the recesses of my mind
to make room for knowledge. 
What kind of knowledge? 
I'm not really sure. 
But it's in there and 
pushing out my favorite movie quotes. 

Before they are completely gone however, 
I will give a list of some of my favorite 80s movies. 

1. The Breakfast Club
Duh.


2. Some Kind of Wonderful


3. Back to the Future 
Great Scott!




If you are unaware of these fine films, 
please head to your nearest Redbox 
or order these on Netflix, because
they are essentials. 
That is all.

you are so loved PINK screen print

Your love is like a hot panini....

Reading practice questions for Miller Analogies Test, which is a
"high level mental ability test requiring the solution of problems stated as analogies." 
Sounds fun, yes?

Beginning the process today of registering for the test, so I can
apply to the School Counseling program in Education.
(Perhaps for the spring semester)

Thanks to Vicki, I now have the song,
 "On the Cover of Rolling Stone,"
in my head.



I will pass it along to you.
You're welcome.

Yesterday, a couple of the girls and I went to see
Eat, Pray, Love
with the fabulous Julia Roberts.

The scenes from Italy, India, and Bali
were filmed beautifully, especially Italy
(must go there).

And if you didn't know,
through her travels,
Liz Gilbert concluded that
God is in you, as you.

So, you are God.
Is that blasphemous?

I thought so.

So I went to a double feature last night...which has been a rare occurence these days...even for just a single feature... First up was Fast and Furious, seriously I had to relieve the old days of watching the original and then watching guys in cars with half of the speed of the ones from the movie get pulled over for speeding right out of the Fox theatres parking lot. Oh...good times. Needless to say the movie didn't disappoint. It was what I expected it would be and that is all...
The second movie however appealed to my more humorous (or so I thought) nature and contained an audience to whom I related. We went to a 9:55pm showing of Adventureland, which I expected much more than what I actually received. Unfortunately the characters portrayed by Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig were not featured nearly as much as I expected them to be. HOWEVER, when they were in the scene they definitely stole it, because they were the only comedy relief in the whole film, besides the character of Frigo, played by that kid who in the AT&T rollover minutes commercials...flippin' hilarious character is all I have to say. The rest of the movie seemed to be filled with a very maudlin look at the decline of the American family and how that affected its youth that were becoming America's present in 1987. A good comparison being a America in '87 was also going through a pretty hefty recession as we are now. The character of James, played by Jesse Eisenberg, set the tone of the youth that existed then and still exist today... totally unprepared for the future with expectations of continuous parental help. The mixtape he made for Kristen Stewart's character, Emily, set the musical tone of "sad-bummer songs".
Also, Kristen Stewart proved that her range is pretty stationary (stationery?...I can never remember)---> pothead with severe anxiety and depression. And on another side note: what is it with teenagers and hipsters overuse of the "f" word. Seriously, do they think it makes them sound smarter? Because it doesn't. It puts a limit on their vocabulary, however, extensive it actually may be, and makes them sound truly ignorant.
I didn't really understand what the underlying plot of the story actually was...but I guess it was an informal social commentary of the continuous decline of the American family and education and the lack of career choices for college students straight from graduation...I really don't know... But that's my theory. You can form your own and get back to me on that. Thanks.
