I was so surprised! David Cook was my favorite and I'm so glad he won. Can't wait to see what kind of album he puts out.
With the judges comments I really thought that David Archuleta would win. Glad he didn't. He has a good voice but he needs some dance lessons and some personality.
Every time the judges gave him a compliment and he gushed "Oh, my gosh" I just wanted vomit!
I always like to check out famous sons/daughters. I like Billy Joel's daughter Alexa's music.
Years ago I had a Wallflower's album, with Jakob Dylan as the lead singer, but over the past few years I had forgotten what a good singer Bob Dylan's son is.
Check him out. His not bad on the eyes either : ) Jakob Dylan
Oh how I love Indiana Jones. I can't wait to see it. Karen Allen was my favorite of his leading ladies, what spunk! That seen in the first movie when she drinks all the guys under the table and then punches Indy in the face, wow. She is my hero.
Disney does such a great job at staying on top of the cutting edge. My kids loved Club Penquin and I think that that the new Pixie Hollow will be a huge hit with the older girls.
I love this song! Great song writing. I'm using it to make a slideshow for a friends farewell reception. I'm having fun editing some photos to the music.
This is also the song that inspired the title of this blog.
Lifetime Network made a tv movie of "The Memory Keepers Daughter". I loved that book and although they did change a few things in the movie it was still really good.
Lifetime will be playing it all month, if you were a fan of the movie, check it out.
There are certain movies or TV shows that I will re watch just to hear some of these lines. Great for shaking off a shitty day! The Wedding Date: Kat's cousin TJ says, "Darling, why spend anymore time on that horse's ass when Mr. Tie-Me-Up-Tie-Me-Down is standing right over there? "
I love to watch Sex in the City re-runs. I did a quiz on which character are you most like and I was shocked to see I came up as a Miranda. I know before the hub & the 4 kids I was a Charlotte. But I watched this episode today and it is clear that I am now closer to Miranda.
Charlotte: I just know no matter how good I feel about myself, if I see Christy Turlington, I just wanna give up. Miranda: Well I just want to tie her down and force feed her lard, but that's the difference between you and me.
Four Weddings & a Funeral: “I always just hoped that, that I'd meet some nice friendly girl, like the look of her, hope the look of me didn't make her physically sick, then pop the question and... um... settle down and be happy. It worked for my parents. Well, apart from the divorce and all that!”
Okay, the weather has more than sucked for the last month. One day it would be almost 60 and the next day it would be 20 with rain/sleet or snow. Spring has been hiding but I think she is finally on her way. Today is suppose to be almost 60 here and we plan to go out and stay out all day!!! It is after all, SPRING BREAK.
To pass time during the writers strike (God I missed all my favorite shows) and the crappy weather I have become a netflix movie junkie. Here are the movies I consumed during the last 60 days.
Rendition: Loved it. I am so against some of our countries policies since 9-11.
I Could Never Be Your Woman: Michelle Pfeiffer never looked better and Paul Rudd is so funny in this. I have a soft spot for him because he is from our town and he is the type of star who still comes home and visits and donates to his old high school. We are building a new auditorium and he donated towards it and his name was spray painted backstage on a previous visit. The movie wasn't great but the acting was.
Into the Wild: In the end I just thought he was a dumb ass for NOT BEING PREPARED. My husband said this is only a chick point of view.
Gone Baby Gone: Really liked it. Made you think at the end!
The Kingdom: Really liked it!
The Martian Child: Love John Cusack and this was a sweet movie.
Michael Clayton: Loved it. Good movie!!! George, sigh.
Becoming Jane: I am a Jane Austin fan and my daughter is just starting to love her books too so we watched this together and Pride & Prejudice for the (3rd time)
Once: If you haven't heard of this movie, check it out. It was really good. Low budget, never heard of the stars but the hub and I loved it. Then they won the oscar for best song and I was so happy for them!!!
I also read like a maniac this winter! Here's to Spring.....may she get her sorry butt in gear and give me some SUNSHINE!
Party for your stomach is a very funny video! I have several college memories that apply (the tequila sneaking in his friends especially).
I remember distinctively when I learned "Beer Before Liqueur, Never Been Sicker" as in the next day, my roommates says "Who Threw Up on the porch?" You drank Rum after the keg was empty?...........you idiot!!! Learn the rhyme.
Then of course, at a TEK Barn Party I learned "Salt, liquor, Lime" Funny, I can never remember the rest of that night?
Anyway, enjoy this video.
Cheers.

I love this video, maybe it's just the cute British accent. I love his little expression when he realizes Charlie isn't going to let go. I'm also amazed at big brother's restraint. My son would have tossed his sister on the floor!
I'm sure that I'm not the only one who bolts straight up when you hear the phone ring at 2 a.m. and think "Oh crap, who died?!?" Well, recently my phone rang at 2 a.m. and my husband answered it.
hub: Hello caller: Hey, can I speak to Jodie hub: And who are you? (the hub said he could hear music & laughing) caller: This is Kenny, HER BOYFRIEND. Has she never mentioned me to you? Hub: I think it is time for all 14 year old boys should be in bed. Click
I ask what the call was about and he tells me apparently I have a middle school admirer.
Okay, I do work in a school AND have a middle and high school daughter but, what happened to calling and asking if your refrigerator is running? Seriously, my husband has a sense of humor but it is NOT cool to pick someone out of the directory and tell their spouse that you are their boyfriend. YIKES~
I meant to blog this last week and just got busy. I helped at a Kansas Caucus site and the site normally has about 250 voters, we had over 2000 turn up at our site in the freezing rain. I helped several people fill out change of party paperwork but I have to share this conversation I had with the spunkiest old gal I have meet in ages. Me: Can I help you? SOG(spunky old gal): I can't read my drivers lic. number for this form. Me: I'd be glad to help, are you changing parties tonight? SOG: You bet your bottom! ME: Well, now you are going to have to tell me the story! SOG: My husband was a Republican, so I was a Republican. He passed away last year and I have been "paying attention". My daughter is a teacher and they have ruined education with No Child Left Behind. My grandson is in the Military, and we have become the Bully's and I don't like that. She pauses, "My husband was a bully". She winked at me and said, "I don't miss him" and I sure as heck won't miss George W.
