Bits And Pieces

I am not an Adam Sandler fan. His comedy is usually to juvenille. I have seen some moments in a few movies that show an actual talent for acting, but mostly I just leave the room when one of his movies makes it to our TV screen.

But there's one, that I'm almost embarassed to admit I like. Well, so, ok, it's one of my all time favorite movies: 50 First Dates. And mainly it's because the end makes me cry every single time. It is the most romantic gesture in all the romantic movies I have ever seen.

I am, however, partial to Drew Barrymore.

So when I did make it to MS during Spring Break, after 7 hours in the van with the kiddos, I had to get away from them!

Mom and I headed to the late show and found one interesting movie in the line up: The Univited.

I figured: predictible, teenage horror, blah, blah, blah.

It turned out to be pretty good. Good special effects actually scared me a couple of times even though I knew it was coming.

But I really loved the story. Jaded as I am in this genre, and even though I got the twist way sooner than everyone else, I really enjoyed this movie.

So rent it or find it online for a little distraction from the mundane.

Oh, please, someone tell me what is the freakin' point of exile in ancient literature!

Taking a semester off from my own school work and helping Thomas with his. The prof is so stuck on exile as a theme, he can't see anything else, and it's just stupid anymore.

(Reread that sentance and check out that little linguistic beauty)

One of my resolutions this year is to keep these things updated and actually communicate with the wonderful friends that I have.

Of course, it's April and what have I actually done....?

OK, I have plenty of excuses for not writing more, but none of them are interesting. So aside from embracing my inner flake and being totally overwhelmed by an honors thesis, nothing new is happening. (Well, things could definitely be better. But on the bright side, gas prices are going down!)

So, I'd better stop procrastinating and get busy!
