popcorn in my teeth

Watched two movies this weekend -- Crazy Stupid Love and Brave.

Crazy Stupid Love was much better than I expected. It had some flaws, but it was a fun rom-com to watch. As usual, it ran a little two long (almost 2 hours) and if they had taken an editor to the script before shooting, they could have improved the film a lot. It really wanted to be a Love Actually kind of tale, but they lost track of too many of the other stories and forgot to actually build up the female characters. It had lots of good laughs though and we both enjoyed it enough.

Brave was awesome! SO PRETTY! Pixar never disappoints. It made me want to get frizzy red hair and talk with a Scottish accent all day long! Lots of humorous moments and, like any good Pixar flick, I started to tear up a few times. Considering this was Pixar's first heroine and that it took place in an ancient, magical Scotland, they did an amazing job of creating this new world and getting by without relying on pop culture references. I mean, there's a lot of humor in Toy Story and Wall*E etc. that come from poking fun at modern culture, but there was really only one sequence like this in Brave and it was over pretty quickly.

Debating whether or not I want to get the soundtrack. OOH it's up on Spotify *listens* I love Scottish music :)

danger to others

my brain was just not ready for Monday. Could not wake up this morning. forgot my water bottle. Forgot I had cash in my wallet when I went to pay for lunch. Forgot to bring a pan over to maybedeadcat's to cook dinner after we spent 5 minutes cleaning it off at my place, forgot to put the chicken nuggets in the oven (since we didn't have the pan, we went with option 2)...almost burned his arm with the pot of vegetables as I was serving them up and then hit him with the fork while I was eating.

Just...i think I need a mulligan.

Tomorrow is our first program for summer reading club which means it will be madness. I may need an adult beverage right at 5.

Just gotta make it to Thursday...it's my friday off and I am going to just take it slow and easy.
