Sunday Movies

It has been a rather off week for me and mine but we got through it! We only watched two movies - yeah! Because this means we should have been productive in other areas (maybe?).

I am a hugh Gerad Butler fan, ask my husband. If my guy Gerad is in a movie my honey will ask me when will we be watching your boyfriend?

So I was very excited to watch Gamer because Gerad was in it, it was action and he would be looking good. So the best thing I can say is he looks good. Not a whole lot of dialogue going in this movie. Blood, guns and can I say some very gross, distrubing and sick sexual stuff. Um I will not buy this movie nor will I ever watch it again. Which makes me very sad, good thing I have this pictures to get me through the disappointment.

The next movie is All About Steve with Sandra Bullock. Now I did go into this movie thinking that the trailers looked stupid but I'm a fan so why not give it a try. The first half of this movie is as dumb as the trailers make it out to be. And when I say stupid I mean the kind of squirm in your seat and look the other way uncomfortable its so bad kind of way. The second half is much better (yes I sat through it). I would even go so far as to say skip the first 30 minutes and you will enjoy the movie. Have a Great Week!

Clarification

As for yesterday's melt down I wanted to say I'm fine. Here's what I think I've learned or been told by others.

1.  My husband wonders if it's menopause? Uh not sure what to say tot hat, I'm 44 so I suppose. Maybe something to consider and look up.

2. My girlfriend thinks I just needed a good cry, to release built up stress. Probably because once my man came home and the boys got home I was fine. I think perhaps I need a hobby to help me as well.

3. I over think my life. I've known this for a while but have yet to come up with a way to get out of my head. I even tried taking one tylenol pm last night and still woke up off and on thinking of money and my daughter. I'd take two but then I'm groggy in the morning.

4. I should stop watching Grey's. While it's true that I got the whole "bright and shiney" thing from the show and I do tend to cry a lot when I watch it, I can hardly blame the show for my breaksdown.  Therefore not watching is not an option.

Not Feeling Bright and Shiney

I can't stop feeling sad. I try, I really try to be this happy bright and shiney person. It is who I want to be but I can't seem to get there. My relationship with my girls is far south from where I thought it would be. One won't even talk to us. My boys are good but they are busy all the time. We can't seem to get anywhere financially, my husband hasn;'t had any work since Christmas and now I sit here just crying. I think my springer spainel thinks I'm crazy. I was doing fine watching reruns of Grey's and then bamm I'm crying, I need a happy pill or a normal pill, how about I need to lose a gazillions of pounds pill, or I miss my girls pills.

Mostly i really want bright and shiney!

Sunday Movies

As you may know I recently broke our TV so movie watching took a back seat. We did watch two though once we moved the old TV out to the livingroom, here they are.

Now I have to say this isn't my thing to much, I did have to leave in the middle but I watched the beginning and ending. It is disturbing and sometimes brutal but it is good. My husband who really likes this type of movie was impressed that it had a plot and suspense. It even made him jump twice, which is a hugh thing. So if you like to be scared and like a good suspense plot then you will like this movie, just be prepared to be a little freaked out at times.

I loved this movie, my husband loved this movie - until the end. The ending totally sucked. All the way through you are drawn in, all be it in a very slow pace but in a good way. You root for Adam you want him to find a way to live in this world. You want him to have love and family. All I'm going to say is the ending sucks!

Reading

Being an English major I have and will be reading a lot of different kinds of writing. This is fine because for the most part I really enjoy reading. Today while doing my homework I did have to read some very dry intro material but it got me thinking and maybe these questions will get you thinking as well.




1. Why do I read? Mostly for the pure enjoyment of being transported to somewhere else, or made to feel like I'm living the characters lives. It is that opportunity to go within myself (literally the house could burn down and I wouldn't notice when I'm reading a good book, that's what my husband says) and disappear.



2. What do I read? Mostly fiction, I know that reading nonfiction is important for knowledge about the who, what and when going on but when I read I want something out of the ordinary. That intangible something that makes me forget who I am. I want to cry, be scared, and feel love or hate. What I don't want is a timeline of events or a justification for someone else's life.



3. How do I read? According to my text book I read too fast. Reading is supposed to be a slow and steady process, not an all you can eat buffet, which closes in an hour. I don't know if I can read like that. I read fast because I can't wait for the next words. While I want to understand what I'm reading, I don't want to have to do a background check on the author and try to understand why they may have written the book.



Anyway those are some questions that came up while I was doing homework, just thought I would share!

Over it and moving on

So I think the dark cloud about the whole me breaking the new TV has passed us by. I hooked up the older than shit TV from our room to everything and while it is like looking at ants compared to the one I broke it will do for now.

Also of some little importance I had my first day of spring semester and I think I must be sick because I love school. I like the books, teachers, homework and the running like mad to get to the next class, I should be committed.

Lastly on the ride home I was doing my usual flipping through all the radio stations listening to a variety of music and came across this song. I really liked it, though normally not my thing, Hope you enjoy. I guess the song was released today and there is no official video yet.

I AM A DUMBASS!!!

So I make all the rules and enforce them everyday, that's my job right?

We bought a brand new Vizio 46" fHD yada yada tv right around Halloween. We treated like crystal, gentle and aware of it at all times.

We bought a Wii for Christmas, you see where this is headed don't you!

Rule number one always wear the controller with the band securely around your wrist, no exceptions.

Sunday we are all bowling, I'm doing dishes inbetween my turn. I get up to bowl (without putting on the band) take by turn, Tank my dog gets in my way of swinging, I hit him, let go of the controller and smack it hits the new tv. It is shattered on the inside.

Sure I have a warranty on it but it does not cover me breaking it, nor does the homeowners insurance cover it. My husband would not speak to me until today.

The only good thing is that I am glad it was me and not one of the boys!

So I am officially a dumbass!
