Well, I am. I like keeping this blog, and keeping it up to date. I always write when the mood strikes -- it just hasn't struck that often recently. But boom, it struck now. Some tidbits from the last few weeks.
- After a binge in January where Jeff and I saw 11 movies, we haven't seen any thus far in February. Next one we're on the watch for is ... Watchmen, which looks awesome, even though I don't know anything about the book/graphic novel. My January movie rankings are as follows, from best to worst: Frost/Nixon (Amazing, loved it), The Reader, Milk, Slumdog Millionaire, Revolutionary Road, Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt gives an edge here), The Wrestler, Doubt, Seven Pounds (I can't help it, I love Will Smith), Bride Wars (Really... not as bad as I thought it would be), Defiance. Really the only one that was a true miss for me was Defiance.
- Jeff's birthday was last week, and as a present I got him a Wii/Wii Fit/Mario Kart. His parents helped ;) Mario Kart has been the top choice. I used to love playing Mario Kart at my cousin's Sarah's house when I was a kid. Of course, it's much upgraded now. Why only one female character though (No, Peach and Baby Peach are not two). Come onnnnnn! Also, a little disappointed in the fit. Weird it doesn't string together workouts, it's like "Do this for 2 minutes... then re-load something else." There are some fun things on there, but only a few that truly get my heart rate up.
- This past Wednesday our old friend Sarah came up from Florida and Katie and I took the day off work to hang out with her. It was fun, of course. We took a day-long walk around the city of Boston, laughing and talking about whatever popped up. While I love Jeff and my two best guy friends, it's nice to have a little girl time. At night we met up with Meg and Troy, Andrew and Jackie and Jeff to have dinner in Boston. The food was amazing, and on the way home I got to listen to more demos from Monty Are I. They sound great!
Katie and Sarah.
The three girls.
Also, we may have found some bridesmaids dresses!!! Wahoooooo!! They are JCrew. When we were pacing the mall killing time on Wednesday we wandered in. I had seen these online, but didn't know they sold them in the stores.
Thoughts? I think they look great and they were a good price. Totally re-wearable in my opinion. And frankly, I just want to get this over with. One less thing to worry about!
- Tomorrow night is Valentine's Day. I know some people say "Oh, it's just a cheesy holiday created by the blah blah blah..." but you know what? I like it! Jeff is a pretty romantic guy and this year he made reservations at the Capital Grille. Soooo not in our price range, but I couldn't turn it down. Come on! It's the Capital Grille! Steaks so good you pass out! I so can't wait :)
- I'll leave you with this... A display in Barney's in the Copley Mall. WTF? Yes, that is a bag on her head, and no, we didn't put it there.

The last one I have to see is Frost/Nixon! THIS WEEKEND I SHALL SEE IT! (I hope!)
I bought tickets to see Watchmen this morning - yesssssssss! I'm so excited! Also, you should check out the novel - it's really interesting, even if you don't like comic books. Great storylines.
MARIO KART IS MY FAVES!
And your Copley Mall pic is cracking me up. WTF?!
My rankings: Milk, The Wrestler, Revolutionary Road, Slumdog Millionaire, Doubt, Frost/Nixon, The Reader, Benjamin Button, Seven Pounds and Defiance.
Thankfully, I missed Bride Wars.
Haha ok sis you're not the only one who misses your blog entries! I usually check at least a couple times a week, what can I say, you're a good writer, your stuff is fun to read.
I too am forced to put The Wrestler above Slumdog Millionaire. I think Defiance had a lot more potential but just didn't do well because the plot jumped around too much to really make a connection with the characters. None of which were particularly enticing anyway =/
