Wednesday It Is

So it's Wednesday and we finally have our democratic nominee! Yippee! I fully admit to, and am proud to be a Clinton supporter, but I do love Obama. So, though I'm disappointed in Clinton losing, I am still very happy with the candidate that's going into the general election. I have family in Chicago (republicans at that) who think the sun rises and sets with Obama & his wife. So I'm going to back him with my whole democratic heart. My only concern with Obama, is he strong enough to take on the GOP machine? And will all Clinton's supporters be as quick to support the nominee and the party like I am? It's a tough call. I'm still hoping for that dream ticket, Clinton as VP. I'm no politician, but it sure seems like a no brainer to me. It will make him unbeatable, and ensure her another shot at President in 8 years. Could you imagine? Our first black president followed by our first woman president? I can only imagine what the world my children are going to grow up in will be like! What an amazing time to be alive and living history!

Now THAT's Johnny Depp...

Did you see Johnny Depp accept his two awards at the MTV awards tonight? I think I can honestly use the word swoon!!! He looked AWESOME! I don't know what he's all cleaned up for, but whatever it is, he can just have my money now. Would I be wishful thinking if I wondered out loud that it could have something to do with a 21 Jump Street movie? My heart is beating from seeing him. I swear I'm 12 years old again crushin on Hanson! Swooning over here still...
Iron man for best summer movie (yea, I know it's June 1...) and Adam Sandler was hilarious!!! I loved seeing Wayne's World skits again! This is the most I've enjoyed the MTV movie awards in years....

Home Alone

Allen took the kids to his moms and I'm sitting here in my PJ's chillin. I've already cleaned the house, well picked up the house. It just feels so weird to have a quiet house... Nice though. Yesterday we had a picnic at Sunol and had a great time. It was PERFECT weather. Breezy and cool, without being cold. Bright and sunny without being hot. It felt like Spring. It was strange walking around there with my dad and the kids. My memories of playing in that creek and camping there as a kid are so vivid. The smell of sycamore and willow trees filled the spring air. Just like it was did when I was a kid. Do you ever have those moments when your life feels like it's right where it's supposed to be? That was yesterday. Yesterday under the sycamore trees with my dad, just like when I was a kid.

On a less spiritual note, anyone seen the movie Let's Go To The Prison? Starring Will Arnett (30 Rock) and Dax Shepard? OK, this is teh stupidest YET funniest movie I've seen in a long long time. I don't know why or how or what, but it had me laughing my ass off. If you happen to see it somewhere, watch it!

Thank God It's Friday!!!!

Yippee it's Friday, FINALLY! For a short week, it sure was a long week, if you know what I mean! We are finally just about over the colds we had plaguing us the first half of the week, so that's good. We're all a little tired still, but nothing a nice long lazy morning sleeping in won't cure! My voice is still in and out, my sore throats ALWAYS end in laryngitis it seems. I think if you ask anyone I've ever known in my entire life they would say I talk to much. I can't ever have laryngitis without someone cracking a "she talks too much" joke. I'm not saying it ain't true but still...

So Patrick has figured out how to get to the DVD extras on his movies. So before he watches a superhero movie he likes to watch the extras so he can "see how they make it". The other day (keep in mind he's only five) he explained to me how Stan Lee came up with the idea for The Hulk. That's right, my five year old told me how much Stan Lee loved Frankenstein, because he was a monster but a good guy. Just misunderstood. Stan Lee's otter favorite was Jekyll & Hyde. He put the two together and that's where he came up with the idea for the Hulk. My son (again, he's FIVE) then went on to tell me The Hulk was supposed to be gray, but there was something wrong with the printer, and Hulk came out green. Since there were no other green superheroes, Stan Lee kept it that way. My son told me all this. So does this mean that he's destined to be the next Spielberg, or the next Stan Lee? I'm amazed at his fascination with the superheroes. It's beyond them being cool, he truly loves seeing how they come to life. It's his calling I think, already, he's got a calling...

Speaking of kids saying the darndest things. So Cheyanne and the other little girl I have here in daycare were playing cars the other day. They're being all cute and girly. "Wanna go to the beach?" The daycare girl's car asks Cheyanne's car. Cheyanne's car agrees and they start puttering around the couch. Suddenly the daycare girl goes "Let's roll bitches, c'mon bitches let's go to the beach". She just turned three and she, "Let's roll bitches". I gave her a talking to and informed her mom. Meanwhile, I've been busting a gut laughing while I tell everyone who'll listen about it. I know she didn't get it from my house, so I can revel in the comedic aspect of hearing a three year old speak gangster. I know bitches is not an OK word for three year old to be saying, but the way she was using it, really isn't any different than my kid, who already use the word awesome and dude ALL THE TIME. Kids. Go figure...

Sex & The City opens this weekend. Think the hype is too much? There's been backlash in all the promotional bruha over the flick. I am OK with it. I'd actually forgotten what a great show it truly was, and am happy to see it on the big screen. Candace Bushnell and the incredible staff of writers HBO had for the show are AMAZING. Me and my little blog and internet ramblings could never be the hilarious, poignant, and sharp writing that was Sex & The City. I only hope the movie retains that sharpness, but I have a pretty good feeling it does. Not that I'll actually make it to the movies to see it, I'm sure.

On Wednesday I actually went to Las Positas and met with a guidance counselor and put my student education plan together, He pointed out that my assessment scores were better than I had understood them to be, and that getting my AA really wouldn't take that much effort than what I'll already be doing. Food for thought I guess. The ladies in the Early Childhood Education Dept. were really cool, and pointed out that though EVERYONE looks like teenagers at first when you go back to school, once I'm actually going to class I'll see how many people are actually my age. I hope so. Not to judge, but I'm not sure I can keep up with the Lohan/Spears generation...I'm much more of the Tiffany/Gibson genre myself... So classes start at the end of August. It's scary, but feels awesome.

Allen has been inspired, and now is talking about going back too. He wants to get a certificate in music, and start teaching guitar. How awesome is that? He would be sooo good at it, and I think would be ale to build quite a clientele fast. I hope he really does it. Keep your fingers crossed.

OK, this ones for the soap fans. One Life To Live to be specific. Now that Tuc Watkins (known to some as the Desperate Househusband, Bob Hunter over at Desperate Housewives) is back over at One Life To Live for the summer, I couldn't be happier.He is probably the funniest actor on any soap, and has great chemistry with anybody. I mean ANYBODY! He's hot, fabulous, hilarious, and breathing some much needed life back into daytime! Thanks ABC for bringing him back to Lanview!

Knocked Up & Snuffed...

First off, I have a startling admission to make. In an earlier post in regards to my favorite show of all time, 21 Jump Street, being made into a movie I made a few "comments" about not being a Judd Apatow fan (see post here). It was wrong of me to be so quick to judge, having not actually seen any of his bigger movies. I say this because last night I saw Knocked Up. I had absolutely no inclination to see it when it came out in theaters or DVD. I prefer my "unplanned pregnancy freak out" movies with a little Hugh Grant in them for good measure (Nine Months). Be that as it may, while channel surfin last night I came across Knocked Up only about 15 minutes into it. I decided to forego my pre-conceived notion of it being guy humor, and give it a shot. I'm glad I did.

So maybe I'm still not convinced that Judd Apatow is the comic genius of our generation (That's right Entertainment Weekly, I will not bow to your every whim!), I have to say I was impressed. The dialogue and characters were eerily realistic, which I guess is good for Apatow, maybe bad for me... Infact the characters were too realistically written, if that makes any sense. It almost seemed strange to have characters in a movie talking, so normally. There was a lot of cussing, and some of the jokes were potty humor, and some of the mean things said during the fights, well none of them came across forced, it all came across very normal.

Also being that I LOVE LOVE LOVE Paul Rudd, I couldn't help but enjoy Knocked Up.

I still say NO to 21 Jump Street being a comedy (I'm putting together a petition that should be floating around the internet shortly), and Jonah Hill, well I'm still not happy about his involvement. I'm convinced that Seth Rogan would do a much better Penhall than Jonah Hill. Again, as long as it's not a comedy... Anyhow, apologies to Apatow and the guys...

Friday night we made a trip to Borders. It's been tooooo long since I've been to a book store. I could've walked around there for hours and hours. I picked up Chuck Palahniuck's new one, Snuff. I've only got about 30 pages left. Good book, creepy subject matter as always. Like I always say, with Chuck, it's about how he writes that captivates me, not so much what he writes. He could write stereo instructions and I'd be enthralled!

I also took Patrick on his first trip to the comic book store, Fantasy Books & Games. I don't think he realized that there was a store for all things Superhero related. It was kind of cool. When I was a kid, it was called Fact, Fiction, And Fantasy, and was the most awesome place in the world. I used to love going there, and browsing the fantasy books forever!!!

JamsBio is holding a contest of sorts.

Happy Memorial Day Kids!

Thursday, Again?

Congratulations to American Idol winner David Cook. Let's be honest though, he had it in the bag... Though I've admitted through the course of the season that I was not watching as diligently as I normally do, I watched enough to know that it was his for the taking from day one. Not to mention I love to see someone win AI who truly "Gets It" (I.E. Kelly Clarkson and Fantasia...). Cheers to the Cook family, and I hope he does well... What a finale though!!! Bryan Adams was great except for, ya know, making the AI contestants all look PRETTY damn cheesy. AI should think twice about having real rockstars perform with their, I guess you could say, rockstars in training. And how about David Cook & ZZ Top? Being a lover a ZZ Top from way back, I have to admit, they weren't at their best. In all honesty, I've thought that about the last couple TV appearances they've made. Cook rocked it though. I LOVED Graham Nash and Brooke White. The tribute to George Michael was awesome, and I just about flipped when he walked out (I being UNAWARE he was performing, DUH). I was quickly disappointed though. He seemed off, and I didn't care for the song too much. It all made sense when he made a point saying he had a cold...So what was the highlight of the finale? OH yea, that's easy, this...


Bad news about the E! Network kids, apparently the head of programming is... SATAN!! That's my theory anyway after seeing the ads for two new shows premiering this week, "Living Lohan" is a reality show following the life of Lindsey's mom, Dina. Lindsey refusing to have ANYTHING to do with it, won't even allow her voice to be heard over the phone. That's a family with issues, you know where Lindsey Lohan is the smart one... Not to be outdone by Dina Lohan in the quest for queen publicity whore (a title that is currently held by Britney I believe) Denise Richards, most famous for divorcing Charlie Sheen and Sleeping with her BFF's (Heather Locklear) husband (Richie Sambora), has a show called "Complicated". It's supposed to be one of those "See, I may be famous but I'm really just like you" type of shows. We follow the single mom around in her daily doings. Her little girls presence on the show will be limited though. Charlie Sheen (father of both girls) actually tried to sue Denise so that the girls could not be shown on the show AT ALL. Sadly enough for them, he lost, but at least their exposure will be "limited". Sounds to me like these girls only have one decent parent, and it sure as hell ain't Denise. It's not complicated at all really.... Good dad, bad mom...

My favorite author Chuck Palahniuck's new book, Snuff is out this week!!! I'm dying over here! Saturday we make a trip to Borders I think...
