The best thing about Oscar night (for me) actually happened after the Oscars. Please join me after the jump for the greatest thing I’ve seen all year. Read the rest of this entry »

Yes, I will be glued to the television. Don’t judge me.

Just picked up three boxes at the Asian market. Trying not to inhale all of them at once.

Last night we watched Across The Universe by Julie Taymor. We liked it. I was afraid it was just going to be randomly thrown together Beatles songs with trippy visuals and a clunky storyline. Glad I was wrong. Obviously, the songs drive the story, but the story worked. The guy that played the lead, Jude, was head and shoulders above the rest of the cast, though. The cameos were great fun and included Bono, Salma Hayek, Joe Cocker and Eddie Izzard. I woke up this morning with songs in my head. Read the rest of this entry »

Did anyone catch Free Radio on VH1 over the weekend? I caught a couple of episodes and became an instant fan. Lance Krall = Hilarious. You know how you’ll just put something on the tv, for some background noise, and thirty minutes later you find yourself yelling for husband to get the hell downstairs because he needs to see this? Just me? Anyway, some clips after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Last night the geekboy and I watched The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters. If you haven’t heard of it, in a nutshell, it’s a documentary about two guys vying for the world’s highest Donkey Kong score.

Let me tell you, I spent the first 20 minutes of this movie making fun of every single person I saw on screen, and feeling superior to all of them. Then, something turned. I found myself on the edge of my seat, rooting for Steve and booing for Billy. We were suddenly watching a battle of Hero versus Villain; it was crazy.

Spoilers in the comments, fair warning.

Oh, Caramel Nut Blast Balance Bar, having you in my life is like getting to eat a Snickers bar every day. I heart everything about you. You are a perfect breakfast, a superb pre-workout snack, and just having you in my life has made me a better person. If I could, Balance Bar, I would take you out behind the middle school and get you pregnant.

The geekboy just sent me this little Google game. It is a major time-sucker. You’re welcome!

Please?

This week’s food obsession is Veggie Crisps. I have an unfortunate addiction to chips and I simply can’t eat lunch without something crunchy to go along with it. These fit the bill and also come in 100-calorie packs so I don’t go insane and dump the whole bag into my gullet. They’re certainly not health food, but I think they’re a better choice than regular fried potato chips. Today, I paired them with tomato soup. YUM.

I just discovered that method soap (my favorite!) is now selling refills! Awesome. Still waiting on refills for the shower cleaner, though.
