Pop goes my heart

We just got back from Music and Lyrics, which I just loved! 5 stars and a total of four thumbs up (mine and D's). The title of this entry is taken from one of the songs in the movie. We enjoyed all the songs in the movie. I plan on getting the soundtrack :)

I would recommend it if you've liked any movie Hugh Grant was in...he does the same endlessly charming/dapper shtick with aplomb, and Drew is lovable as usual. The tall woman from Third Rock played Drew's sister...she is funny even without saying anything. Not in a bad way at all :)

There were a few interesting previews. Jerry Seinfeld is going to be the voice of a bee in an animated movie. There was also Knocked Up with Katherine Heigl from Grey's Anatomy (D said, "You can see that with one of your friends") and The Ex with Zach Braff and Amanda Peet (looked like it might be fun in a silly way). I'm not the biggest fan of Amanda, but Zach cancels her out.

Thanks for the review. I love Drew and kinda like Hugh. Sounds like a winner. Now I just have to wait for it to hit the $1 theater. :)

I with you on the Amanda Peet thing. Ever since The Last Kiss, I can't stand her. I know, it was just a character. But I can't get it out of my head. I love Zach though. I think he's an excellent actor and cute too.

I'd like to knock up Katherine
Heigl.

I'm really enjoying Amanda Peet in Studio 60. I'm really enjoying Studio 60, for that matter. It's a great show.

I've never heard of Music and Lyrics, though.

Yowza!

It's a good movie, about a washed-up 80s musician who needs a lyricist.

Oops. I knew I didn't like Amanda Peet though. I tried watching Studio 60 and had to quit after the first few minutes. She just rubs me the wrong way.

I love Drew, and I still have a little crush on Hugh.

Guess what! I saw a movie in the theater last week. Because I Said So. It was a little over the top, but funny.

So far I'm off to a decent start with movie-going in 2007. :D

I saw that one! I agree with your assessment. I thought Mandy Moore did a decent job, and Diane Keaton is always good.

And I have a little crush on Hugh as well :)

Now, that's just not right. I love Studio 60. It is the smartest and funniest show going on TV right now.

I am a big Drew Barrymore fan though. Not so much with Hugh though. He bombed in Mickey Blue Eyes

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
