Babel

Don't see it. It's a complete waste of time.

I can't believe the trash they make and pass off as "good" these days. There are a couple scenes between a 10 year old boy and his sister that are very inappropriate and as far as I can tell, not relevant to the story at all. I swear they throw those things in there just to gross people out, or even worse, to desensitise people. Other than that the whole story was just a mixture between disturbing and depressing.

Exactly how I like to spend my Saturday evenings. Gaaahh.

Anyway, I'm just warning you. Of course, you'll probably pass up Babel just to unsuspectingly pick up something worse. That's just how it is these days. These kinds of movies piss me off. Bad. I just really don't understand the point. And Brad Pitt was in it too! In my opinion, this movie brings his reputation way down but of course cheating on his wife didn't make him look so hot in my eyes either.

I'm that much closer to giving up Hollywood all together. Every once in a while though, they actually come up with something great. I really want to see 300. I've come to recognize that if the critics like it, I will not. And if they hate it, I will probably like it. I feel that way about everything, actually. I hardly ever find safety in popularity these days. For gods sake look at all the morons who want Hillary for president.

Yeah. They definitely rode the short bus.
(Oh and for some reason the spell check on blogger isn't working so...I also rode the short bus.)

Yo!

It's almost May! Which means it's almost summer which means yay.

I hope I get the chance to leave the house this year. Since the man is really trying hard to walk I think I may get the opportunity once in a while. God I'd love to see the beach a few times and get some sun. I haven't been this pale since I was born.

We're planning Riley's first birthday. I think it's going to be May 8th sometime in the afternoon, if you want to come. I'm pretty excited. We're getting him some kind of inflatable outdoor toy and maybe one of those little walker things for him to push around the house. Plus, he'll get to have a cupcake and he's gonna love that.

Last weekend we made another trip up to Longhorn (our country dance club, in case you didn't know.) Wow. We had a blast. When we went last time, we visited the location in Martinsburg, and though we had a nice time, we only had like 30 patrons that night. Well in Chambersburg last week there were 321, which was our highest ever. It was incredible to see all those people. It was really a lot of fun I wish we had something like that around here.

We got to hang out with our friends who started the whole thing this time too. After we closed Longhorn, we went to a little bar called the Gingerbread man, got drunk and talked about Quixtar, for the most part. It was hilarious at the time. I guess you really do have to look back and laugh. I certainly laughed a lot, anyway.

So...I feel like I came here to say something and I totally forgot what it was. Anyway, that's kind of our update.

Man on the Run

The little man is now mobile. Yes, he's crawling at lightning speed, pulling up on everything he can get his little hands on, opening cabinets and drawers, sticking tiny fingers in light sockets, eating unknown things off of the floor.

Good times.

The one thing I do miss is the afternoon naps. He has decided he doesn't need them anymore, even though I now need them more than ever.

I can't believe it's almost been a year.
