There has been a lack of good live music in my life for the past few months, but luckily that has been recently remedied by two of the best performances of my life.
1. BOB WEIR = late hours of crazy awesomeness at All Good in West Virginia that ended way too soon.
2. THE WAILERS = minutes of awesomeness at People's Fest in Wilmington that lightning managed to make even better, but also caused to end way waaaaay too soon.
Some girls scout fairies descended upon my PicnicPack and gave me patches that I didn't earn, but do deserve. In another life, they belonged to my mama.
Blockbuster offered this deal where you get unlimited movies (2 at a time) for a week, and I have been trying to be on top of getting my $$$'s worth. And the lucky ducks who got to come home with me so far have been:
1. Wendy & Lucy I loved it inside out upside down. A girl with bad luck who is on the road and loves her dog, it felt very familiar.
A+
2. Confessions of a Shopaholic Felt just like the Devil Wears Prada. I liked the idea of really addressing shopping addicts (which it seemed to do at the beginning), but then it got too slapstick at the end. There was a bride in fur in NYC, which I love. But there was also a moment involving the line, "The bidder on the phone was you?" Which I did not love. C+
3. He's Just Not That Into You I never saw a preview for this movie, but I did see the commercials, which are mini-previews. And the movie was just a way longer version of the commercial. It felt like Love, Actually in the structure of the plot and a way watered down SATC overall. I like Ginnifer Goodwin but her character was pathetic. Drew Barrymore's part was small, but she was the techno-savvy faghag, and she had a line that said, "People don't meet each other organically anymore." I think that can be true, but I'm glad it's not the case in my life. C
4. The Education of Charlie Barlett So boring, everyone mumbled. Fred Durst should not direct anymore. I lasted about 40 minutes before I took it out and watched..... F
2. It annoys me that people are saying Bruno won't be funny because I think the general public is jealous of Sasha's crazy great humor skills, which are impeccable in my not humble opinion.
3. Today was our first open house and 9 couples went through, one of whom was supposedly very interested. 2 other couples went through last week. I don't think I have ever wanted anything as much as I want this house sold and to be done with York. The day this house sells will most likely trump my wedding day.
4. The Office is my favorite show ever besides Lost.
5. Today I went to the dog park and there was 1 other fugly pug, 3 jugs (jack russell/pug), 5 bugs (beagle/pugs, which I thought were called puggles but whatever), and a bulldog. I don't know why people get these imitation pugs when obviously all they want is a Gigl of their own.
