My Side of the Room

With as much time as I spend crafting and Dan spends playing WOW, we decided to move his computer out of the office and into the media room as well. I wouldn’t give up any of my side of the room, so Dan put his desk to the left of the projector screen.

Dan’s Side of the Room

OK, so maybe Dan *IS* the nice one…

Mia’s Slime Pit of a Backyard, originally uploaded by Klick Here.

Want to do your good deed for the day? Mia from Often Wrong, Never in Doubt has a great new house. She and her dear hubs have put a lot of work into it, including chasing away the bums that had taken residence in the once adbandoned abode.

While they’ve done a whole lotta work on the house itself, they’ve been kidna avoiding starting on their backyard and I can see why. Her endearing nickname of it is The Slime Pit and without having seen it in real life, I can tell from the pictures that it’s the set horror movie directors dream of. I can picture The Thing rising from out of the pool-ish structure and causing havoc among the residents.

So please head over to the link below, register to vote and then check out Mia’s entry. (Fastest way to find her entry after registering is to use the drop down menu from “go to” and searching for Mia’s name.)

Not only will you be helping out Mia, but you will be bringing joy to her adorable pomeranian, her scary cat and her husband Danny. Everyone knows the best husbands are named Daniel.

Like that? A plug for someone else still turned into something cute about Husband. I deserve a present. Preferably something shiny.

In keeping up with my current “Sara is a pop culture zombie” theme, I give you movie reviews.

Movie #1 – Pineapple Express. I didn’t know what the title had to do with the movie, and for some strange reason I never asked. Apparently, it’s the name of the type of pot that the characters smoke throughout the movie. Learn something new everyday. I went into the theater, expecting a few chuckles and a lot of eye rolling. However, the movie was hilar. (Short for hilarious. Yes, I am that cool.)
Keep in mind, you are reading this review by someone who never tried pot. I really do mean never, I’m not just trying to thwart any drug narcs who may be keeping tabs on me. I don’t know how it feels to be high more often than not, I don’t like the smell of pot and I have never seen a real pot plant. Husband informs me that the pot comes from dried flowers, which in the movie look like giant furry bananas. He assures me that they really are tiny flowers, but I prefer to think of them as furry bananas.
Anyway, I have a point. This movie was great. Much better than anticpated. I probably didn’t understand most of the drug references, but it was funny to me because the two main characters were the exact stereotype of druggies that I have in my head. And to see them running around like idiots made me laugh with relief because I, thank goodness, am not a dirty pothead with drug dealers trying to shoot me.
Plus I love comedies where people fall down. Seth Rogan falls down a lot in this film.

Overall:
Reason to Watch It – Danny McBride, especially saying “Thug Life.”
Reason to Watch It – Seth Rogan getting attached by a giant mosquito and screaming in a fashion much like I would.
Reason to Skip It – Seth Rogan looks so dirty, you can almost smell him.
Reason to Skip It – His relationship with his gf is weird and a little too pedophile. I think she’s 21 in real life, but she looks 16.

Movie #2 – Tropic Thunder. OK, this is not so much a movie review as a blatant holla out to Tom Cruise. Yes, I said Tom Cruise.
He plays this producer scum who is beyond funny. The images of him “smacking it” to Flo Rida will make me laugh for weeks. The fiercely overgrown chest hair that he absentmindly twirls with his finger, the gold bling he has hanging around his neck…I chuckle just typing about it.
Oh yeah, and other stuff happened in the movie that was funny. The End.

Overall:
Reason to Watch It – Tom Cruise, no joke. I have a newfound respect for this man.
Reason to Watch It – Danny McBride again. This time, talking about being a caterer.
Reason to Skip It – Matthew McConaughey. I seriously think this guy is overhyped.
Reason to Skip It – Ben Stiller. Another actor I could live without. Although he wrote and directed the movie, so maybe he’s not that bad after all.
