A Funnny Finish

I was really happy that the Vancouver 2010 Olympics decided to go out with a laugh. Playing off their mishap in the opening ceremony, bringing in comedians for one of a kind speeches, and definitely the most laugh out loud...the giant inflatable beavers. I mean, who didn't crack up when they saw these huge furry creatures come out onto the ice? Proving that you're always good for a laugh, nice work Canada.

Valentine's Day

As my usual Valentine's date has moved across the country and abandoned me here, I went to go see Valentine's Day with my mom. This movie is being taken down by reviews, saying that the story lines are kind of buzz kills and don't have the happy endings that you would expect from this kind of movie. But to be honest, that is what I liked about it! The relationships, the jobs, the situations, everything was real. Things fell apart, there were main characters working in a mail room, it was just a very real movie showing how things actually happen. And you were still left feeling good at the end. Things I hate about the "chick-flicks" if you will is that they play up these situations that just never happen. In my mind they make girls think these magical guys exist and have these huge expectations that these normal and perfectly good guys can't live up to. I recommend this movie if you're a down-to-earth person who understands not all relationships are perfect, but still believe that they can work in strange ways. My one complaint: not enough Bradley Cooper. Ha ha!

USA vs Canada: Gold Medal Hockey

Even though my team came in second (and I lost $50), the gold medal hockey game between USA and Canada was probably one of the most exciting sporting events I have ever watched. Both teams played so well and the intensity level was at it's highest. Congrats to Canada for the gold, but also congrats to Ryan Miller, the hockey MVP of the Olympics. Well deserved.

A Video Hilarity

Tonight, I was flipping through the cable guide and seeing what was on and I noticed that "Hot Rod" was going to be on TV and immediately hit the record button due to my undying love for Andy Samberg (he is even one of my five celebrities I'm allowed to sleep with). Since it had been awhile since I had seen it the first time, I was excited to watch again. Now, I measure the quality of a funny movie by how often I laugh out loud depending on two factors: a) am I sober? and b) am I alone? So since both of those answers were "yes" this evening and I still am laughing out loud many, many times, this movie gets top scores for funny. The scene above caused me to cry from laughing so hard. If anyone else can dance like Kevin (the guy in the orange/yellow striped shirt) I may marry you. But remember, I'm still allowed to sleep with Andy Samberg should the opportunity arise.

Things I Don't Understand Thursday

Lights That Are Not Synced Up

Oh yeah. I'm driving along and driving along and driving along and...oh wait. No. I'm driving along for a block and *EEEER* brakes. Red light. So then I wait until it turns green and I go another block and *EEEER* brakes. Red light. Then AGAIN. Same thing. Seriously, why on earth can't they sync up the lights!? I mean, it's real convenient to stop every block right? And appreciate the scenery? Good for the environment, the brakes, the road rage. I just love yelling at things in my car. I bet you can just picture me..."Goddamnit!!! Why am I stopping again!?!? Stupid lights!!" Isn't this someone's job to actually figure these things out? Where are you guys? Fix this. Or I will find you. And make you stop walking every five feet. See how you like it.

Music Monday

The 2010 Sasquatch Festival line-up was announced recently and let me just say how pissed off I am that I am broke and can't afford tickets. So basically I will be playing radio contest games until I am awarded with them. Every single day is going to be good and features some of my favorites like Vampire Weekend, Band of Horses, MGMT and........THE NATIONAL!!!! I at least need to go on the Saturday to see them. Or I might die. Anyone up for a little trek out to the Gorge?? See the full line-up here!

Hiatus: I Hate Us

So clearly I've been missing for a week or so. Well you know, things happen. But I've been very, very busy sleeping in and sitting on the couch. I've been waiting to hear back from some jobs and haven't been away from my phone. Cause you know, if you don't answer when they call you back then they'll figure "oh, she can't answer her phone so obviously she can't handle this job." Being readily available is obviously a quality that people look for in their new hires. I went to the gym a couple times. That must be why I haven't been hired. Because they knew deep down I did something other than waiting for the phone to ring. I did something to take my mind off things. And they still didn't call. You know what?! I'm starting to think I didn't get this job...Even so. I now have time to wait for another one. What other activities can I do involving waiting around? Maybe knitting? Or watching really disappointing basketball like the Huskies played tonight. Or drinking. Which I also did tonight. Don't talk to me. I'm too depressed.
