Iron Man kicks Robin Hood's ass.

So. Over the weekend I went to see both Robin Hood and Iron Man 2. Hey, this is what you do when you can't sit on your couch and watch baseball because you aren't able to drink beer. Side note: baseball requires beer. Fact. But I digress... I saw both movies, and let me just say, Russell Crowe may look nice without his shirt on, it doesn't make up for the fact that he couldn't act his way on to a puppet show. He plays the same freaking character, in the same way in every single movie. I'm convinced that he just shows up to the set, reads lines he's phoned in from his hot tub in the Aussie outback. Now RDJ's Tony Stark? THAT'S A CHARACTER. That's ACTING. Maybe RDJ just has more life experiences to draw from. I guess years of self-abuse, jail time, waking up in random children's beds after a 3-day bender, this will happen. All I know, 10 minutes into Robin Hood, I'm looking at my phone to see when this mess will end. When the IM2 credits rolled, I wished there were 2 more hours of it.

Just another Wednesday night

I really needed a night out. My week has been hectic, and slightly emotional. So when my good friend JB threw out the invite for Cinco de Mayo shenanigans, I knew this was just what the doctor ordered. Nothing special, just some eats at Calamari's and then up to the Sunflower Club to listen to Rick McGee without his rockers. And without the sheet music to "Mexico" on 5/5 apparently. No amount of shouting would change the fact that he just didn't know the song. For some reason this doesn't stop me from shouting it out after, EVERY.SINGLE.SONG. Those who know me will not be surprised at all. We also discovered that the Beach Boy band member who hit on JD was not John Stamos, (sad face) but instead 68-year-old Bruce Johnston, who is very stingy with his wine. And then that last beer came and being 3 blocks from home deciding while drinking said beer, do I stay out with the JD and JT knowing things were surely going to get out of hand? Or do I honor the pact that JB and I made to get each other home at a decent hour, not smashed, and with food in our bellies. Pact intact.

Can I get a HOLLA?

So... it has been a long time. A REALLY long time. I get it. I'm pondering if I should fire up this little blog again. Is there anyone still out there? I really don't have much to talk about, and you know I am going to bore you with my opinions on pop culture, drunk injury stories, etc. Is it really worth it?

Trailer Trash Barbie

Good grief woman! What the hell happened to you? Barefoot, cheetos loving Britney Spears seems to have fallen off of the pop princess cloud she once ruled. This girl really needs some help. Are there any exterminators that specialize in removing the specila species of leech that wears wife beaters and procreates like wild bunnies? The only thing seperating her from the other trailer park moms is the bank account.

I've never been crazy about facial hair although there are some people out there who need it. Can you picture Abraham Lincoln without the beard? I'm trying to think of some hotties out there who look better with the beard but I'm drawing a blank. Remember when Brad Pitt grew that nasty beard? Yuck.

Losing my mind...

I have officially lost it. And when I say it, I am referring to just the most valuable things, the hardest to replace things. In the span of about ten days I have lost my entire wallet containing every card I own. Credit cards, insurance cards, ID cards, SHOPPERS CLUB CARDS! Ok, I am still paying for that one, calling all of my credit card companies to cancel the cards, replacing your driver's license sucks. Next I lost my favorite pair of jeans. I eventually found them but then I broke my digital camera. The LCD is shot and looks like a pretty rainbow in the bottom of sugary cereal bowl. Since it is my work camera I'm not too sure how that one is going to play out. I usually don't lose or break things, but apparently I got a nice little streak going. The wallet got lost during a Thursday girls night out two days before my cousin's wedding. So if you are in the neighborhood of State St. and happen upon a green wallet with Chinese print, I'll reward the finder with whatever money that will not be left inside it.

On another note, I was in Niagara Falls all day Friday for a few work meetings and it is the first time I have been up there in about 8 years. WOW! Not alot has changed, still beautiful and awe inspiring but many more things to do now! We actually got a guided tour from the Niagara Parks dept. to some of the attractions. The neatest thing I saw was the Butterfly Conservatory. I had never been there and to be able to stand among thousands of different butterflies flying near you was pretty cool. Many many wineries up there but our driver wanted to stay focused on our work meetings. Boo.
