MI:3

Posted on by

I no longer love Tom Cruise the way I used to (I couldn’t help it — I adored him in Top Gun and A Few Good Men!) but I really, REALLY want to see MI:3. I think I’m being brainwashed by all the billboards and TV commercials.

So I’ve been driving a lot more lately… mostly just picking Rob up from the BART station and stuff but I’ve realized that I’m the ultimate nervous driver. My heart beats faster and thoughts start racing through my mind… What is wrong with me?!? Guh. To make matters worse, I can barely see over the dashboard in Rob’s car so I think I have to get a pillow to sit on while driving. HOW EMBARASSING. I hate being short.

It was a good Sunday. This morning a friend and I went to get pedicures (the rain has finally stopped so I can finally wear open-toed shoes! Yay!) and then we saw American Dreamz. 😀 I *really* enjoyed the movie and totally recommend it.

A couple of random things (mostly non-spoilery)…

— Mandy Moore and Hugh Grant had great chemistry. They played off of each other really well as contestant and judge.
— Maybe it’s just me but Hugh Grant has aged. It took me by surprise when the camera closed in on his face at the very beginning of the movie.
— I adore Mandy Moore. She made Sally Kendoo a truly multi-faceted character. She could have been a completely over-the-top character but Mandy turned her someone who is equal parts manipulator and sickeningly-sweet hometown girl. She rocked.
— I also loved Iqbal (played by Tony Yalda). He was freaking hilarious.
— The supporting cast was great. Lots of familiar faces — Shoreh Aghdashloo, John Cho, Adam Busch, Chris Klein…
— Willem Dafoe looked so much like Dick Cheney. Heh. And Dennis Quaid’s impersonation of President Bush is pretty funny.
— Also, best song ever… American Dreamz with a Z. BWAH.

Go see it!

Next week Rob is going to be in Las Vegas so I may have to rope another friend into watching Stick It. Heh.

Back to reality… Boo.

Had a nice little trip to Santa Cruz for the weekend. Rob and I went to the Boardwalk on Saturday… thankfully it didn’t rain! SCORE. It was pretty cheesy but we had a good time on the rides and eating junk (ie. corn dogs and funnel cake, YUM). Then on our way back home this morning we stopped by UC Santa Cruz to check out the campus (we’re sadly obsessed with visiting colleges). Wow, it is HUGE… and really spread out. I guess I’m just used to CAL, where everything is concentrated in a walkable area. Anyway, since it was Easter, nothing was open but it’s definitely a pretty campus. I love how it’s set on a hill overlooking what I think is Monterey Bay. PRETTY!

Anyway, I can eat candy and cookies now! YES. I don’t think I ever mentioned it here but I gave up candy and cookies for Lent. 40 days! I didn’t think I could do it but it was actually pretty easy. I wasn’t craving anything after the first week. Too bad that won’t stop me from having some candy tomorrow. 😀 But maybe I won’t be so greedy from now on.

I caught the premiere of What About Brian tonight. I liked it but I didn’t. It’s not the most original show and I didn’t really find any of the characters sympathetic at all (even Brian) but there was just something about it that felt real. Plus, Amy Jo Johnson yelling “I’m getting a restraining order!” was pretty awesome. BWAH. Why does she always get stuck playing characters that grate? Sarah Lancaster’s also on this show so let’s hope that means she is staying far, FAR away from Everwood. I’ll probably check out the next few episodes to see how it goes.

I totally want to see Stick It and American Dreamz. DON’T JUDGE ME. 😛

I went out with some friends tonight and had 1 drink (ONE DRINK!) and I have the absolute worst headache right now.

Having low tolerance to alcohol SUCKS. Waaahhhh.
