so yah.... i suck
You'd think with countless of hours where I'm under doctor's orders to be sitting on my ass that I would be frequently updating my livejournal... so not the case... but i managed to keep busier than I should have been for someone who is still recovering from major surgery....
Speaking of which, I'm very happy to say that my pathology reports came back and my fibroid was indeed 100% free of malignancy - in other words, not cancerous. Though I had been told at the hospital they were confident it wasn't, doctors have been known to be wrong from time to time.. so its always nice to have the lab tests to make you feel that extra bit convinced. Not to mention I'm doing fabulous with recovery - way better than predicted. But still another 22 days until the 6 weeks of torture are up *quivers*
Meanwhile, I've been filling my mind with all kinds of exciting visual stimuli in the past week.... Thought I'd share some of it...
When your mother is your stay at home nurse with you in a tiny studio appartment, and you want a night out with your boyfriend which doesn't involve much physical activity cause ya just had surgery, its a great idea to go to the movies.. pay for the early show and then sneak into a late show... this is exactly what dan and I did last friday....
Catch & Release... adorable.. i wanted Timothy Olyphant from the minute the movie started.. actually from the minute i first saw the trailer for the movie.. i heart him.. ever since The Girl Next Door... but yah.. i thought this movie was great... and Kevin Smith totally saves the movie for any guy who gets dragged to this chick flick... even Dan admitted it had its funny moments.... I was totally wishing I had my movie-going Mel there tho... She and I would have been all over this movie... and probably snuck in to watch it again which we had almost done with Elizabethtown last year haha
Alpha Dog - absolutely freakin awesome movie.... i had seen ONE quick 30 second tv teaser for this movie and I love Emile Hirsh ( another actor I heart due to The Girl Next Door) and Olivia Wilde ( not only because of the O.C. but because of the days when she was on Skin before it got cancelled.. friggin loved that show..) anyway... this movie didn't disapoint... and i can't believe i'm saying this but Justin Timberlake was actually a really great actor in it... the ending scene had me in tears and all crunched up in my chair... loved every second of it...
Then last Wednesday night, we went to see Smokin Aces, which I was highly anticipating for awhile now... Holy God.... I LOVED it.... I know that i'm guilty of always saying 'oh my god i loved that movie..' but this is like a sincere 'holy shit i fucking loved that movie'. 5 reasons:
1) it had Las Vegas in it... so right there we have it sold to me
2) Jeremy Piven is GOLD. I love him as Ari... I honestly want to have sex with Ari... So
naturally I'm going to love him as Buddy "Aces" Israel....
3) This was such a good, random, off-side shoot em up movie that it made hitmen look
so damn cool you'd wish there was a university degree in assassinating. Come on.
Alicia Keys has never been sexier. Those three crazy punkish guys made me laugh
more than words can explain.
4) The hyperactive kid on ritalin with the random hyperactivity related boner was so
random it hurt.
5) The cast of beautiful people being complete bad asses, the scenary of Vegas &
Tahoe, and the sheer uniqueness of this movie all came together to be one of my
new top favorite movies of all-time.
Do yourself a favor: if you haven't seen this movie... love any of the actors in it ( even Matthew Fox has a random 5 minute cameo in it that totally surprised me)... don't mind blood and violence that's in no way tasteful or appropriate, do it up....
Lastly, in the television world I've just got to add....
- I'm going to need to go on some form of valium in the next couple weeks.. between my sheer excitement in the anticipation of Michael and Sara action on Monday's Prison Break, as well as the cling of hope that they are going to make sweet sweet fucking love sometime soon... AND the fact that there are only three episodes of the O.C. left... EVER.... I might go postal.
- Can I just say - to anyone who watches the OC and cares - that three years ago, when Theresa was preggo and Kirsten took her out to lunch after visiting the abortion clinic, she tried to talk her out of it, and said something along the lines of ' I wish someone had told me I had a choice ' and three years ago I called it. I said WATCH! They will do a plotline where Kirsten was pregnant and had an abortion before she met Sandy. But then three years went by and I started to think that I was the only one who picked up on that line.... or was genius enough to think this way.. CLEARLY I was a genius. lol HIGH FIVE - said in Borat voice.
- watched almost the whole season of My Boys tonight on TBS while the rest of the world was watching the SuperBowl and omg I love this show. At first I found she was a little too boyish but by the third or fourth eppy, I loved her. And one of her boys, haha forget his name there's so many of them, but he was in Orange County as one of the burn out surfer boys and I loved him... But yah... New love for this show....
anyway.. this is enough early morning rambles for me.. its 1:27am... i have an exam in the morning and need my beauty rest...
