Here’s how things usually go when Chris and I try to watch a movie: Me – I feel like watching a movie. Chris – What do you want to watch? Me – I don’t know… you pick something. Chris – (sigh) Here we go… He then proceeds to start picking all sorts of movies: Kung… Read More Watching Movies With Chris
Chris and I went on a date this Friday – our 2nd date since Joe was born! I know what some of you are thinking: “Wow – only 2 dates in 8 months? How sad.” And then the mothers out there are thinking, “Wow – 2 dates in 8 months? How awesome!” We think more… Read More 2nd Date Night
Chris and I aren’t big TV watchers*. Don’t read anything judgmental into that – if you want to watch TV, go for it. I just get bored easily and would rather not pay for a service that, for the most part, I won’t use. We do like to watch movies and some TV series on… Read More Fatso.co.nz (I miss Netflix!)
This trailer is hilarious.
Hello, my lovely readers! I hope you’re having a great day and and that you enjoyed the gorgeous weather (it was beautiful here in South Bend, IN). Today was my measly day off out of a total of 72 hours working. Blech. Needless to say, I was strongly tempted to spend it doing absolutely nothing,… Read More Busy Day!
Hi. My name is Jenny, and I live in a tiny little house. Okay, maybe it’s not tiny, but it’s a heckuvalot smaller than where we lived in Massachusetts. And I’m assuming that in 93 days our living quarters will be smaller still, as we’re currently planning to live in Auckland’s City Centre area. Why… Read More Getting To Know Me via My Shelves
I was shopping at Sam’s Club this weekend and stumbled across this little gem: Holey moley! All of my favorite childhood Christmas movies in one box. How have I gotten through a Christmas without this? Now if only this one was in the collection, too… I’m looking forward to spending a few evenings watching these… Read More Best Purchase of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Weekend
Good morning, everyone 🙂 It is absolutely pouring here! This Saturday, Chris and I got up early and went to the South Bend Farmer’s Market. It was so great! After a little confusion as to how to get there (thanks in part to Google Maps and yours truly), we found it, parked, and headed inside.… Read More Farmer’s Market and a Movie
Hi everyone. Chris and I went to see “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” on Thursday night (my day off). I thought I’d give a Practically Perfect review, for those of you who are really into HP and want to see the film. For starters, let me say that I was really, really looking forward… Read More Harry Potter Review (No Spoilers!)
Thanks to everyone for all of the nice comments on my blog makeover – you’re all so sweet 🙂 K, O, and I are going out to Patriot Place tonight – can’t wait! I’m excited to hang out with both of them. We all work at the same hospital and I’ve done stuff with O… Read More Miscellaneous + a Movie Review
I had a random, odd desire to share the top shelf of my DVD case with you. Here it is, in all it’s glory… For those of you who can’t tell, here’s what’s in there: Forrest Gump Overboard (classic Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell) The Four Feathers (haven’t been able to watch this since Heath… Read More Top Shelf of My DVD Case
This weekend I watched “Dear Frankie”. It came out in 2004, and I’m not exactly sure how I’d heard about it, but I decided to put it on hold at our local library. Well, it came in a few days ago and, since Chris indicated that he wasn’t that interested, I watched it this Saturday… Read More Not a New Release, But Still Good
Wow. That was all the husband and I could say after hearing Christian Bale’s rant at the director of photography on the set for the new Terminator flick (click on the link for the edited version). Seriously, he goes off for over 4 minutes, using the F-word at least 39 times (no, I didn’t count!… Read More Bad Christian Bale!
Okay, enough work-related drama! I’m getting sick of typing about it, so I’m sure that you are all sick of reading about it! Today, I’m going to share some of the DVDs that we’ve watched over the last few weeks. I think that the 1st one we watched was “The Duchess”. I wanted to see… Read More Reviews: The Duchess, Wanted, Finding Forrester, Friends, and Gossip Girl!
Chris and I watched “Get Smart” this weekend, starring Steve Carell & Anne Hathaway. It was hilarious!!! Seriously, it was so funny that we had to rewind certain parts of it because we were laughing so hard! If you like Steve Carell movies and comedies, then you need to see this one 🙂
Chris had to stay late for a dinner meeting tonight. He dropped in briefly to check on me, since I’d phoned him earlier to let him know about going home early from work (isn’t he sweet?). Since I had the evening to myself I decided to watch “The Philadelphia Story”, starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant,… Read More Philadelphia Story
I was saddened to read today that Paul Newman passed away last night at the age of 83. He had been battling cancer for quite some time. It’s my opinion that just about every movie that he was in or helped to produce was made better simply by his association. The fact that he donated… Read More Bye, Bye, Blue Eyes
Last night, Chris and I watched “Hot Fuzz”, staring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Bill Nighy, Timothy Dalton, & Jim Broadbent. We’ve seen it before, but I was in the mood for something ridiculous and funny, and this fit the bill! I think that I am definitely becoming a Simon Pegg fan; at the very least,… Read More Hot Fuzz
