the hottest thing Ben said this weekend:

"Now I really want to watch "Newsies"..."

sigh.

I love my friends.

serisouly.

ok- I have raved on here before about how brilliant Neutrino is... something you have to experience to believe... an improv movie, filmed moments before you watch it, never to be seen again. delicious.
the other genius part- and the part that I can now share, thanks to the marvel of youtube- is the PSAs and "trailers" they show before the movie starts...

(don't watch if you are easily offended...though if you read my blog, I'm guessing you aren't... just wanted to toss in the warning...)

sigh.

10 things

I have been so absent and I'm sorry... there are a kabillion different reasons that I will not bore you with...
instead- I bring you 10 things... 10 totally random, get you up to speed type things.

1. This week's dare is up... so love the idea of this one...I may just do lots more... Here's mine:

my apologies to SarahPea on the photo in this one...hehe... love you.

2. Kirsten and I went on our recently established monthly scrap date last night. so good for the heart and head and hands and all that. I adore that girl. end of story.

3. Tyler's new best thing:

me: hey T- what does Santa say?
T: HO HO HO! Merry Christmas! What do you want? I want a Michael Cudyer bobblehead. (said all in one breath)

4. Zac is getting four teeth all at once. yikes.

5. We got two goldfish the other day. One is pretty and orange w a white fan tail- his name is Dexter. The other is one of the black moor ones who is black w/ pop out eyes- his name is The Dark Passenger. Which amuses me, and confuses most people who come to our house and innocently ask "Ooh- what did you name them?"

6. Last weekend I had three friends over who had never scrapped before and brought them over to the dark side of patterned paper and adhesives and rub-ons... it was delicious.

7. I would like to thank Hannah and Lindsay for getting the Might Boosh "Soup" song stuck in my head... whenever there is a quiet moment in my brain, I find it is quickly filled with "Oriental prince in the land of soup..."

8. Went to Neutrino again this past Thursday. It is so indescribably funny. the end.

9. Started reading "Atonement" a couple nights ago... wow. Backstory here being that when I get stressed I read VC Andrews books, cuz they are at once brainless and horrifying... now I finished one series and tried to start a new one and my brain shut down with near audible pleas of "are you TRYING to KILL me???" - so I decided to pick up something a little more up my usual alley... yes, Atonement = fabulous.

10. Just one of the many reasons I adore Kirsten- yesterday she asked if I wanted to go see Atonement when the movie comes out here- and I said YES. Cuz seriously, my girlfriend Keira Knightly (who really does need to eat a steak or something, but that's another story) and my boyfriend James McAvoy together is a must see. She also asked if I'd read the book yet and I went on to tell her that I'd started it the night before, after much discussion and math with Ben about - do I read the book first- and risk hating the movie cuz it might not live up to the book? Or do I wait til after I see the movie and hope I then love both? Or risk that something beautiful and different happens in the movie and not in the book, and then I hate the book? Ben and I then tried to figure out the odds of hating the movie, or hating the book...or loving both... Ben held up fingers as he went: "Ok- you could love the book, hate the movie. Love the movie, hate the book. Love both. Or hate both." me: "So basically there is a 75% chance I will hate something???? that seems so sad and wrong... I don't like your math."
that long explanation is simply the preface to say that I explained all that to Kirsten and she squealed in agreement of the HUGE dilemma rather than looking at me quizzically as many of you may be staring at your screens now that I wrote all that out...
