Nothing going on here. Just waiting for the midwife to come take my Blood Pressure and maybe do an exam.
We saw The Tale of Despereaux yesterday. It was good to get out of the house and find a way to keep the girl (who was bouncing off the walls for some reason) entertained…but not a great movie. I enjoy kid’s movies, but I prefer ones that are bit more clever and funny: Shrek, Nemo and Ice Age are favorites of mine. Despereaux was just eh. If you must see a kid’s movie, I’d recommend Bolt over Despereaux.
Today I am considering going shopping…just at our local mall. Not sure what I need…maybe boots? Baby clothes…but until this little one comes, I don’t know what flavour.
I have been watching loads of True Blood episodes, and am up to 7. I am loving this very twisted Vampire love story…and Anna Paquin has grown up in a very good way!
Oh, did I tell you all about our new toy? We got this.
We don’t have a router yet, but we can still have 2 of us online at once, and it has been great for watching DVDs. We’ll get a router soon. If only the man would finish the computer nook so we could get the old desktop (which we decided to keep since the girl likes using the computer now) out of the middle of our bedroom we’d be computer happy.
I guess I could go router shopping.

So I finally saw the movie, courtesy of the local Chinese DVD store. Not a great copy…but good enough to watch.
The movie was…eh. Compared to the book, it sucked. So much was glossed over, most of the characters were nothing like I imagined them (Alice was the only exception…she was perfect!), and…well…like most movie version of good books, the movie just paled in comparison to the book so much it was annoying.
Also, Bella was paler than Edward in most of the movie? How does that make sense? She seriously looked more like a Vampire than he did…he looked more like a punk rocker with way to dark lipstick!!!

Kinda dumb, but Robbie showed up at the end and made it all worth it.

It is so wonderful how my Man takes me to see My Boyfriend on Date nights!
Saturday night we saw Tropic Thunder. Eh, it was stupid funny. Also, Robbie looked nothing like his lucious self for 90% of the movie:
The few moments he did reveal his true gorgeousness made it all worth it though:
This picture is not from the movie…but he is blond in the movie, and Robbie as a blond is so wrong it is right!

Penelope: A cute family movie that almost anyone will enjoy, with a sweet lesson. As an added bonus, it stars Christina Ricci, who I always find charming and who tops my “If I was into women” list. As another bonus, she has a super cute wardrobe in the movie…especially for a girl that never gets out!
Iron Man: Better than I expected. Not a cinematic masterpiece, but Robbie was his usually witty, sardonic, hot and distracting self, and the movie kept me awake until 11pm, which is a not insignificant accomplishment.
The Dark Knight: Kinda boring. I could not get into it. I also don’t get why everyone says Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar? Is it because he is dead? Well…he was good…but not Oscar worthy (ducks to avoid tomatoes and banana peels) IMO.
