2009 in a nutshell...

Link Round-Up

Monkeys are so smart These are cute Bring it on!!! Seriously, it's probably way better for my kids than the crazy psychotropic drugs they are on. It's cheap, readily available and all natural. I've seen kids on drugs with terrible side effects like facial tics, loss of bladder control, hyperactivity... If your only side effect is the munchies, what's wrong with that? And for kids who refuse to eat, pot brownies are better than putting your kids on a feeding tube. Thoughts?

Grandma's house is officially ready for Christmas.... Our's isn't quite there yet.

Happy Birthday to Me

Being single sucks. But dating is so complicated...

As expected...

New Moon was total and complete drivel. I knew what I was getting into having read the book. Bella was equal parts annoyingly helpless and viciously heartless to Jacob (and a dash of horrible acting) and has a habit of going cross eyed every time she is in a tight shot. Edward actually managed to not come across as much as an abusive boyfriend as he does in the book. As in Twilight, his lipstick is so dark and obvious it is distracting. The music was loud and melodramatic. But I still give this movie two thumbs ups. I give this movie TWO ALL CAPS THUMBS UP!!!! (with exclamations). I give this movie TwO aNnOyInGlY CaPiTaLiZeD tHuMbS Up!!! And that is because for most of the movie you are treated to this lovely sight: A closer look... and from the side...

I don't think there is much I can type that can adequatley express my appreciation for the fact that he is shirtless for 80% of the movie. I can definitely put up with Kristen Stewart's heavy breathing and overacting if it means more Jacob time.
