I was so ready to sleep in today. I'd had 10 ladies over last night for a Tastefully Simple party and fell straight to sleep so I expected a lot of extra sleep this morning. Yeah right - somehow I just can't seem to sleep past 8am anymore. So what to do on a Saturday? Clean, of course! Bedroom and Bathroom cleaned, okay, now it's 9am... :)
I ended up watching two movies today - Away We Go and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Both worth watching, I ended up with tears for both movies amazingly enough. Away We Go was something I didn't expect I'd want to see - not a huge Maya Rudolph fan and the story seemed weird. But the movie was a pleasant surprise. Ghosts was a funny candy movie with a good lesson to players ;)
For Christmas this year Andy gave me gift cards (my favorite, remember) to both Target and Kohls. I went shopping with him the very next day (as we had Christmas on New Years Eve b/c of the storm) and couldn't find a thing. UGH! It took me a day to think of it, but I went to Target and used my gift card to get the new Gone With the Wind collectors edition. I haven't yet watched the movie using the new DVDs but am looking forward to it. The bonus features are pretty cool - a book with filming photos, copies of letters from the director, cool velvet box to store it all in (I'm thinking it'll be a huge dust collector, but whatever...). :)
In the past month I've finished watching the third season of It's Always Sunny...and I like the show - but it gets a little old watching all the time; the humor and stories pretty juvenile :) We all need a little mindless humor now and again tho, no? I've watched District 9 (looking forward to the sequel), Paper Heart (cute), Extract (don't waste your time), Coraline (couldn't finish it - too creepy), Flywheel (good show), The Propsal (super cute), Julie & Julia (okay), and Bedtime Stories (adorable). I'm working my way through Entertainment Weekly's 25 Movies to Watch Before the Oscars - here's the list.
Up In the Air
Up (have it, love it)
The Hurt Locker
Precious
Inglourious Basterds
Invictus
An Education
Avatar (watched it twice - once in 2D then in 3D)
A Serious Man
The Messenger
Julie & Julia (watched it - meh)
A Single Man
Crazy Heart
The Blind Side
The Last Station
Nine
Star Trek
District 9 (liked it - FX were stunning)
Fantastic Mr Fox
The Lovely Bones (loved the book - hope the movie does it justice)
(500) Days of Summer (seriously? oscar contender? neh)
It's Complicated (cute flick -love the older actor love scenes - whoda thunk it?)
The Young Victoria
Bright Star
The Informant!
So I've only watched six of them - I have to get my butt in gear. But first I need a paycheck! So - if Andy isn't able to come up next weekend I'm going to get in a few movies...so far, The Blind Side, Invictus, The Lovely Bones and Up In the Air is playing here...A Serious Man was playing last week and I missed it - that was silly of me. I went to see It's Complicated two weeks ago and they had a huge ad for the second Sex and the City movie coming out in May. That should be interesting...not Oscar contender of course! ;)
That gives me an idea for a new blog - I could go to every single movie that's out in theatres for a year and blog away...omigosh talk about not living in reality, eh? Hmmmm...that'd mean I'd have to watch the stupid teenybopper movies...the horror flicks...the bad kid movies. Oh dear...I don't know if I have the stomach for that...
Anyway - Andy's calling, gotta run (he's trying to talk me into "letting" him have a dog)
