It seems like I’ve watched a bunch of movies lately.
One Missed Call
Sort of Ring-esque sort of movie with annoying college kids. They get voice mails from the future where they can hear their own death. The creepiest part of the whole movie was this scene where there is this little ghost baby with a cell phone…I know that sounds silly…but it really creeped me out. You have to watch it just for that part. 2 out of 5 stars
Alien vs. Predator: Requiem
I liked this movie better than the first one. My big annoyance with this movie though, was the fact that it was so dark…it was really hard to see what was going on. Kind of a waste of all the cool special effects when you are struggling to even see them.
27 Dresses
This movie now that I think about it, didn’t really have a great plot and wasn’t written all that great. But Katherine Heigl made it worth watching. I think she took all the bland dialog and made it cute and quirky. It’s worth a see if you’re bored.
Sex and the City
I laughed a bunch. I almost cried at points. It was a very, very good movie. It seemed like it was all so relevant to my own life too. But overall it was just good seeing all the girls back together again. Definitely go see this one.
I really hate the following words and phrases. I’m not quite sure why. Some of them I probably just don’t like them because people I don’t like say them quite often. Others are way overused especially at work. Others are just plain stupid.

Yesterday I saw someone at work who still had the size sticker on their brand new pair of pants. Hilarious. I didn’t know him though…so I just stared and laughed instead of telling him.
At work when people are Out of the Office for one reason or another, we send all day free meeting notices to each other so other people know you will gone. I just think it is funny cause I always used to just get ones with the subject “OOO”. Don’t know why that has always struck me as funny. I often get ones for “Therapy”. What is the first think you think of when you see that word…I know it is physical therapy…but I always picture a shrink.
So I have a poison ivy rash on my knees and arms from weeding and mulching the other day I assume. It sucks. An no, it isn’t contagious like a lot of people think. You only get it where the plant oil touched your skin. The oil is long gone now…I’m just itchy.
It was so sunny and beautiful outside just a little bit ago. So what did I do. I decided to move the patio furniture and chairs and put some towels down on the deck and lay out in the sun….guess what happened…that’s right folks. As soon as I laid down, the mother of all clouds hovered above me blocking out all hope of sun. Fuck. Well rather than get (too) upset, I decided to do the next best thing. I went to the tanning salon. So there ya go. Big ol’ middle finger to you mother nature!
