I could write a blog. I have thoughts.

Life at the library, adventures with friends and other hysterics...

What are they made out of panda?

I need new dishes.
Yes, I know you gave me some but 2 of them broke, the third ran off with the crazy ex-boyfriend and the fourth is in the dishwasher. Now I'm just left with that plastic stuff. So you're taking me dishware shopping. Just dishware. Not clothingware.

"Just Go With It"

Loving library DVD's

Starring three of my favorite people - Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman plus Dave Matthews, Brooklyn Decker and Nick Swardson

Danny's (Sandler) fiance cheats on him, so he drinks away his sorrows in a bar, while there he meets a nice girl and realizes that wearing a ring and claiming that his wife is horrible to him will get him women. As time goes on he gets more women and has a different fake wife story every week. Danny is a plastic surgeon, his single mother assistant is Katherine aka Aniston who knows everything about him and, after he meets the girl of his dreams and she thinks he's actually married, suggests she tell the girl he's getting a divorce. The girl, Palmer played by Decker, seems to take it well but says she needs to hear it from the wife. As there is no wife Danny talks Katherine into being his fake wife, "I want to ceate the illusion i had a hot first wife!", and after she slips up about having kids her kids get involved in the whole fake family. And then there's Eddie, Danny's cousin who's mostly for comic relief. But the preview basically tells you all that.
I'm giving it a 8/10 on the Scale of Awesome. Actually watching it again right now. It's actually a semi-family friendly movie, and with Happy Madison in charge you know you're gonna get the usuals Kevin Nealon, Allen Covert, but no Rob Schneider or Kevin James. It was a good break from the hectic day kind of movie. Funny but not over the top, trying to hard kind of stuff. The cousin is hysterical, Swardson did an awesome job with an accent and just body language - I don't want to give anything away, but watch the movie.

"Why do you keep calling me Henderson?"
"Just go with it."

Was excited to see Nicole Kidman back in a comedy - yes I'm one of those Moulin Rouge crazies, she's one of my favorites, as is Ewan McGregor. The fact that he's in Star Wars just makes him that much more awesome.
He also starred in this reality show called "the Long Way Down" which was him and his friend driving motorcycles all the way through some country. They stop at all these remote places and meet unique people, I'm on the list for it, I'll keep you posted. There's also a book about the whole thing as well with pictures and fun anecdotes.
But yes, rent Just Go With It from the library, it's free and it's funny. Plus you'll understand why it's so fun to substitute real words with "Devlin". Vernacular skills rock.
Loved the Adam Sandler Jennifer Aniston dynamic just because they're so good at comedy and this one especially because they just went back and forth the whole time.

"...Mix that with the smell of like a dead cat and some fajitas and you've got what you call yourself a a severly diminished libido."
