Happy Birthday, Mom!

I guess the title says it all, but I wanted to make a whole post wishing my mom a Happy Birthday! I just got in from her birthday dinner at our local steakhouse and it was great having all the family there to celebrate the bestest woman I’ve ever known.

Love you! :cake: :love: :cake:

Watchmen–check.

watchmen-logo I can love a movie right up until the big reveal of the villain’s plan or motivation, then I just start to tune out. It’s happened with several movies over the years, and Watchmen was no exception. Loved the backstories, loved the bit of mystery, loved the feel, then BAM! We find out the who and why, and I’m OUT. I started walking around, not paying attention, and generally not caring about what was happening. Still, it was a good movie. Not my favorite, but certainly better than that other superhero movie people loved last year.

Congratulations Everywhere

My Ashley is engaged! I just don’t even know where to begin here. It seems like yesterday we were obsessing over Anakin and Harry Potter and here she is, all grown up. Here’s to a lifetime of love come easy and happiness. :bubbly: :love:

My Ben is free! Free from the martyred whining and shortcomings of the less intelligent. May he find happiness with anyone, so long as it’s not in the form of a bitter, histrionics-prone, lunatic. :bubbly: :love:

Instead, I got this…

lost-logo_0 A ten minute episode of LOST this week! Actually, it wasn’t worth 10 minutes, I just slowed it down to look at the dimples a few times. *sigh* I guess ABC doesn’t care whether we actually enjoy the show or not as long as we continue to DVR/watch it in some capacity.

The two-hour premiere of ANTM was lackluster and didn’t get better upon second viewing today. The first photo shoot was the worst concept yet….and that’s saying a lot. I’m sure it will get better, and some of the girls actually look like models this season, which is a drastic improvement over past seasons. I’d love to see an “All Star” Cycle. Yoanna would sooo take them all. True.

Top Chef will not be watched again until the next season. I can’t get over the rat face of Hosea. Maybe the judges had just watched that Ratatouille movie and were a bit too affected by it. This is the only season that I deleted from DVR, and I am so disappointed in the show. Really. I did, however, read that my votes counted and that Fabio won “Fan Favorite”. Sweet.

After my pitiful dinner of cous cous, I’m going to watch Survivor and call it a night. You should, too.
