Well, if Simon’s not hanging in there, then neither am I.

What is American Idol without Simon Cowell?  Nothing.  Can we really take this week’s guest judge or Randy or Kara’s opinions seriously?  We all only care to hear the rude but true, or very kind things Simon will say to those auditioning.  We love to see his facial expressions at the contestants that we can’t quite tell if they’re being serious or (hopefully) just acting for their 15 seconds.

So thank you for all the laughs, but after this season I’ll be ready with my floaties as Simon jumps ship.  What a shame too, Ryan was just starting to grow on me.

Well, looks like Little Miss Sunshine just didn’t want to live a miserable life without one of her kidneys.

Now here was a movie that falls under the ‘Depressing’ category.  Talk about needing a box of Kleenex’s next to you for this one.  This movie explores the hardships that come with cancer in the family.  It’s sad all the way through, but I did find myself laughing a few times.  The acting was good, the sick girl really does look sick, and Alec was the perfect casting job.  If you’re in search of a sad movie, this one’ll do the trick.

It’s 5:30 at IGA: the lines are long, I’m bumping into grandma’s carts all over the place, even the express line is stretched to the entrance. This time I remember to buy the item that has been forgotton and therefore stuck on my grocery list for weeks, Saltines; I quickly grab a box, blindly reaching around the stocker. I put my gloves on after sacking my own groceries into my own bag, I throw my hood on to block the freezing snow and wind from reaching my face. It’s cold out there and I’m forced to make this trip almost daily because I have to carry all my groceries home. (But I’m really only exaggerating, I live a block from the store!)
I get home, stomp most of the snow from the bottom of my boots and proceed to the second floor and unload my bag. I made it! I love that going out, even just a block away, is an adventure, and now I’m home, safe and warm.
Now that dinner’s finished, cleaned and hours ago, I want a snack to go with my new favourite show, Conveyor Belt of Love (see previous post), and make my move for the Saltines. I grab a sleeve and go back to the couch. Strange, this first cracker tastes different. What’s that, the second one is tasteless as well. A horrible thought enters my mind….I jump up to check the pantry. OHNO! I really did buy unsalted tops Saltines.
I can’t believe it, I mean why is that even an option?!

ABC has my full attention every Monday night from 10-11 this season. I’m a sucker for dating shows, usually getting sucked in by all the jokes I can make about these sad, beautiful people…but this show is different, they were making all the jokes for me, all I had to do was laugh. The premise of the show is so simple I don’t even have to explain, the title does it all (they really are literally on a conveyor belt and all we have to do is judge these guys based on about 2 sentences and their appearance). The girls and guys chosen for this particular episode were hilarious and the people in editing seemed to help by sharing all the uncomfortable reactions and hurtful (yet honest) comments.
Will this show help in any way with the morality of the next generation, of course not…but was this time-waster fun, absolutely.

Jennifer Eight – Uma, a blind girl….Emilie, a sleeping girl. Here’s a movie (from the 90s) I watched on tv, pretty good, but still not sure how it ended. I think in my life I’ve fallen asleep to at least 60% of the movies I’ve seen, but that doesn’t stop me from having an opinion!
13 Going on 30 – Thankfully this one was playing on tv so I didn’t have to pay to watch, just give it my time. Surprisingly entertaining enough, even though Jennifer is a scary looking skinny broad with a big mouth, but Mark helps as the cute likeable love interest.
I Am Legend – I hate zombie movies, why didn’t anyone warn me?
Syriana – George works the beard in another movie that makes you wonder how true this all really is. I don’t think I want to know.
The Class – Entre les murs is a movie about a young French teacher to all the young punks of Paris. It makes you give up on the next generation of kids. The movie is very well acted, felt like they just stuck a camera in a real classroom, but has no ending so therefore I don’t recommend this film.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past is coming back to haunt me by making me admit I actually spent a few dollars to watch this turd. It’s not like I was expecting much, or anything at all, but it was even worse than the cutsie, beautiful-people romantic comedy I wanted for the evening. I don’t think we went more than 30 seconds without a sex joke or innuendo of some sort, and both Matthew and Michael are just getting too old for these groping roles. Rather than renting this formula movie, might I suggest another Hollywood-type that was a little more fulfilling, Bride Wars or Confessions of a Shopaholic. Enjoy.

We had the pleasure of seeing my sister and her kids this past week and here are some of the latest words out of my adorable 3 year old nephew’s mouth.

“When I grow up, I want to be a car-washer.”
“I want to put ketchup and mustard on Sophia and eat her like a hotdog.”
“Let’s play Sneaky-Goofy.” (referring to Hide-And-Go-Seek)
“You try it – you like it.” (and then when he caught on to our schemes…)
“You try it – you don’t like it.”
…and his absolute favorite, “Bolitas!”

What I really enjoyed about this movie was that the movie didn’t think I was an idiot!
Let me explain, most Hollywood films nowadays must think their audience is incapable to put the pieces together or to see the obvious ending that’s a couple hours away. You see how I just thought my audience wouldn’t understand, I must not think much of you..but that’s not true, it was a joke. And see there, I did it again, I had to tell you when there was a joke.
Now would you people just smarten up and get your crap together.
(PS – How do you think Amy Adams and the one-armed man end up getting together?!)
