you see that blue messed up picture? that's why i need a new digital camera. that's supposed to be a cute picture of me and my mom. failure. i took my mom today to get our hair cut - she hasn't had a professional haircut in at least a decade. she got 10 inches cut off and donated it to locks of love. i'm so proud of her and i'm excited because it looks great :) you could see it if my camera wasn't a piece of shit but you know.
i've been buying way too many things for the cruise (and i'm going to end up buying a new camera too because i need one that won't turn my pictures all crazy face). i think i have 10 dresses i want to take, which is just silly. i guess i'm just going to start wearing dresses all the time to make those outfits worth my money. haha. i also bought the cutest shoes at payless yesterday - 2 pairs of heels i don't need. whatever. i've already worn both of them out and they were on sale; i couldn't resist.
melissa, ro, and i are going to see 'the hangover' tomorrow night and i'm so excited - it looks hilarious. tonight, melissa and i fast forwarded our way through "he's just not that into you" which we both have already seen. at one point during the movie, i asked why scarlett johanssen's character has a framed picture of herself when she was younger - like, it looks like her 4th grade school portrait. who has a framed picture of themselves in their apartment? just them alone, not with a sibling or friend or the easter bunny or anything... random. melissa declared that we had already talked about this when we went to see the movie in the theater. i had to explain that we did not see this movie together. she was living in DC when this came out in feb. "oh, right... maybe i just thought it and meant to say something to you about it." ha.
i'm pretty conflicted about that movie. i like the actors in it. but i flat out hated some of the story lines and ginnifer goodwin was just so painfully awkward at some points, i literally was flinching and it just hurt. and what kind of message is it to try and make the point that some people can be in long term relationships and not be married and still be just as committed to each other and more devoted than other couples who are married (i.e. ben affleck was clearly a better partner than bradley cooper) but then at the end (spoiler alert), have ben affleck propose? doesn't that defeat the purpose of the point you were trying to make? just because you aren't married doesn't mean "he's just not that into you". and the whole, oh, if he/she isn't sleeping with you, they're not into you. really? great message. plus, sleeping with someone doesn't mean they're into you - it means they're looking to hook up. they may be in you, literally, but that doesn't mean they're interested in you or in a relationship. whatever. and the whole bradley cooper/jennifer connolly/scar-jo storyline = fast forward-ville. lame. i do like that justin long though and love that he and ginnifer goodwin were both on "Ed" back in the day, when they were both super gawky and not starring in movies... oh! i saw this before i saw the movie and it made me laugh; too bad they didn't have this on the dvd:
i like "no one slides down the wall while crying". oh, also: "i love everything about you... i love that just because you were in boy scouts, you consider yourself a veteran. i love that sometimes you just smile at homeless people and you don't even know it." pretty funny. (side note - when did the word 'pretty' become an adverb? like, pretty funny doesn't mean attractive funny - it means kind of funny. i wonder who decided that would happen? hmmm.)
favorite grandparent moments for the week: my grandma went to the eye doctor and they dilated her eyes. she showed this to me and asked if it looked like she had been smoking pot. WHAT?! my grandma is an 82 year old southern baptist woman who doesn't drink and does not like watching any rated R movies because of the foul language - how does she even know what pot does to your eyes? oh my word.
my grandpa, meanwhile, while watching "nights in rodanthe" abruptly asked where diane lane's hometown was. when i said i didn't know, he said, "she's not from toledo, is she?" no, i don't think so, grandpa. i'm sure we would have heard about that sometime over the years. (p.s. it's nyc). apparently, he was at k-mart the other day buying a new mop and there was, and i quote, "a shapely woman", in front of him in line who turned and he realized she was older but in great shape and her face looked familiar, like someone that he should know who she was. she joked around with him about cleaning and he left thinking that he should know that lady. he sat down to watch "nights in rodanthe" and thought to himself, i bet it was diane lane! i love my family so much.
oh man, diane lane's wikipedia just informed me that she used to be married to the highlander! crazy. my mom used to love that ridiculousness. i think she actually bought a highlander vhs tape today at buyback.
you know what's a fun game? trying to remember girls you went to high school with when you've officially been out of high school for over 6 years. the cool kids like to go to bars and sit around, just trying to top each other by naming off the most random people they can think of. the best ones were the girls who didn't make it to senior year and just disappeared... that's a fun game. brings names out of the woodwork and makes you bust out the yearbook when you get home and literally rack your brain to try and recall anyone that even remotely looked familiar. good times. makes me wonder what those people are up to. since we're not facebook friends, i can't stalk that information down like i normally would. you know, using facebook what it's for - stalking.
time to stalk out my bed. we're in a serious relationship, me and my bed. we spend hours together and we've gotten pretty close. we don't talk much but it's ok - what we do doesn't require words. it's time to go spend some more quality time and (gasp) sleep together. scandalous.
