Don’t watch it.  Or read it (I haven’t read it, but Amy didn’t recommend it, either).

I didn’t like the story.  I hate movies that just make you feel horrible while watching, and especially when you’re done.  It’s why I didn’t like Titanic.  I have enough things in my life that have the potential to make me feel pretty….unhappy….so I prefer not to watch a movie that makes me feel that way for entertainment.  Not, entertaining, to, me.

Brandon fell asleep about 20 minutes in.  Guess he didn’t like it either.

“James Cameron is king of the world. Again. On Monday, “Avatar” saw its worldwide box-office hit $1.85 billion, eclipsing the record set by Cameron’s “Titanic” (1997), and become the biggest grossing movie. Ever.”

Can anyone say, Holy Shit?!

Brandon and I, as Netflixed obsessed as we are, were able to add Julie and Julia to the vast catalog of movies we have seen.

We weren’t impressed.  We rented it because everyone that I know who has spoken of it said they really liked it.  Or that they were truly enjoying it.  It’s was mildly amusing at best.  We must be too critical.  The Julia story was more interesting than the Julie story, and the movie was mainly based on the Julie story.  I was hoping for some kind of insight into why Julia did her T.V. show, but they stopped the movie before they got that far.  A movie about a girl who blogs about making all of Julia Child’s recipes, and that’s all it was, just didn’t hold my attention.  I gave it 3 stars, just because I didn’t hate it.  Bleh.

So we’re nearing that time again.  It’s almost the end of the semester.  I have one final, and two papers left.  I only have one more class to attend.  I had a exam yesterday, and it was brutal to say the least.  Hopefully I pass that class!  Yea, ME!  I know, it’s crazy.  There was one question I didn’t answer at all.  I mean, at all.  I drew a couple little pictures.  Ha.

So sorry that we haven’t posted a lot lately (but maybe I’m apologizing to myself?)  The truck is d-e-d (yes I missed the A on purpose) so life is stressful.  Brandon had to take a personal day today to go out to where Nora’s sister lives to hopefully get the Neon transferred over to us.  Now, to get the Neon running…haha.  We’re praying.  If we don’t get it running we have no idea what we are going to do.  The truck is going to cost so much to fix, just for it to break again, because there are other things wrong with it.  And other things going wrong with it.  WHY?!  Anyway.

Erik is also sickly.  He has a really bad running yellownastyness nose.   Now he is developing a cough.  I was thinking of taking him to the Dr. this morning but when he woke up he was doing alright and the nose was slowing down.  Of course once he got up and running his nose started running again.  Eep.  Mucinex for kids is great though, gotta say.  Last time he got this runny nose stuff I just dealt with it myself and I got it to go away with no Dr. visit.  Hopefully it will happen again that way.

Tonight is supposed to be date night for Brandon and I.  As we are in such a rut with the truck, I’m making dinner at home and we’re going to a movie.  That’s the extent of our extra entertainment.  It’s okay, we’re happy with it.

At least Christmas is soon!   Hopefully Erik enjoys it more this year!!
