I went to go see The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey last night with sideshow_ericka since she wanted to see it again and I wanted to see it, period. Given the scope of the film, and of course various additions and expansions to make it mesh better with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it's definitely one of those movies that's best seen in theaters ( Read more... )

On Facebook, my brother posted that he's watching Van Wilder. The temptation to quip, "Oh, you're watching the movie version of your collegiate career?" is very, very strong and it's taking every single ounce of willpower I possess not to. But I want to, so very, very badly. Seriously, the kid has been in college for the last seven years. It's ( Read more... )

Yesterday I realized that it was probably a bad idea for me to be alone all day. I was having some issues processing, and being alone with the thoughts was resulting in spontaneous bursts of crying, which really weren't accomplishing anything, including making me feel better. So I called sideshow_ericka and asked if I could just come sit on her couch yesterday ( Read more... )

I'm taking a short break after my shower to write a quick entry. First of all, I've gone in a completely different direction with NaNoWriMo. I was originally going to write a follow-up to Magnolia Blossoms - last year's completed effort - when I had a little brain storm that wouldn't go away.

First off, acting legend Tony Curtis passed away this morning at the age of 85. Needless to say, today will be spent on the couch, watching my two favorite Tony Curtis movies: Some Like It Hot and The Great Race. I'll take that time to cut out the pattern pieces for my Christmas party dress. If I have left over time, I'll start on one of my ( Read more... )

So when my husband bought the BluRay player for the HTPC, he also bought Wii Fit Plus ( Read more... )

Sooooo...it has been sounding like the TARDIS is landing in my kitchen/dining room for the last twenty minutes. :3

A while back I decided that while I ♥ Firefly and Captain Mal, I needed to change up my cell phone scheme. My current wall paper is from Miss Mimi-Na (OHMIGOD! I THOUGHT I WAS SPECIAL!) and my general ringtone is the Series 4 (new ( Read more... )

Comment with "ACTION!" and I will give you ten actors and ten actresses. Then post in your livejournal with your favorite films of theirs.

( Ten Guys, Ten Girls, this is bound to get ugly. Or hilarious. I'll take either, at this point. )

Hubby and I had a "Date Day." We went to lunch at Famous Dave's for BBQ (mmmm...smoked pork...) before heading to see Iron Man 2. I liked it, but I'm a total dork and I love superhero movies (and Marvel comics in general, heh). I'm excited for Thor and of course, The Avengers. \o ( Read more... )
