A little bit of ranting

Just had to get this off my chest.....New Moon Really Sucks!!

I'm not really sure why the whole world is so taken with the melodramatic phenomenon that is the Twi-dim saga. I read the first book and could hardly get through it due to the constant droning of a love-sick teenage girl who can't walk without tripping over her own feet and has no life ambitions, except to stare into the eyes of Edward Cullen. The movie is even more bland with Kristen Stewart's utterly mono-tone performance and Rob's constipated, love hurts, look. BARF! Its only redeeming quality is Jacob Black (Lautner), who I fully intended to hate given the interstellar hype of his ripped muscles. But, he actually turned in a good perfomance and his character was genuine and, okay I'll say it, dreamy.

I don't ever get to actually go to the movies, so I usually only see anything after it is released on DVD. I do have to say that I enjoyed Hellboy II and United States of Tara. Star Trek is likely the best movie I've seen all year. Still haven't seen Avatar yet, as I can't seem to convince my husband to go with me to the dang movie theater....ugh!

Jonah's 2nd Birthday Party

A couple of weekends ago we celebrated Jonah's 2nd birthday with a wonderful party in our backyard. We borrowed the jumpy house from my sister and gilled up a boat load of hot dogs. All the family and close friends showed up to enjoy the wonderful weather and run crazy. Jonah's favorite gift was probably his cozy coupe, it has a perfect spot to stow a cup cake.
