Theater Thursday

It's Thursday and that can only mean one thing... it's Theater Thursday! This week's featured movie is, Crazy Stupid Love. 

Crazy Stupid Love stars Steve Carell as Cal, a family man who now finds himself getting a divorce. When his wife (Julianne Moore) confesses that she slept with her co-worker David (Kevin Bacon), Cal packs up and moves out. Once he's out on his own he's depressed and doesn't know what to do now that his soulmate is no longer by his side. When he finds himself sitting in a bar a younger guy decides to take him under his wing. 

Jacob (Ryan Gosling) sees something in Cal that makes him want to help him. He takes him shopping  and shows him how to dress then starts trying to teach him how to talk to women. What Jacob himself is starting realize is that he's lonely just like Cal. When a girl walks into the bar and won't fall for his usual ways, she sticks out in his mind. When she walks back into his life he's surprised and who faces him in his future. It could be a pleasant surprise or a shocking twist...

I was pretty leery of watching this movie. I know I'm probably one of only a few but I am not a big fan of Steve Carell or Julianne Moore. That had stopped me from watching this movie for a long time. I'm glad I finally did watch it though! I'm always a big fan of Emma Stone and now I kinda see why everyone talks about Ryan Gosling! If you haven't seen this movie... watch it. It's funny, heart warming and entertaining. 

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

It's time for another edition of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly!

The Good
I finally caught up on my television shows and movies sitting on my dvd shelf waiting to be opened and watched. 

I usually read the books before watching a movie but I watched Safe Haven before reading it. Is it worth going back and reading it even though I've already seen the movie? 

The Bad
Northern California experienced an earthquake on Thursday night. I was sitting on my couch reading some magazines when I felt this strange feeling. I thought I was passing out because I felt the room moving then I was like wait... I feel fine. Then it hit me... earthquake! So I immediately called my mom and let her know I was fine. Then I started getting calls/texts/facebook alerts asking me if I felt it too. Good news is I'm fine, the house is fine. It happened about 1.5 hours away from me. 

The Ugly
I was pursuing the isles at Target one day and noticed this new Cheerio cereal. 

It looked pretty good so I thought I'd buy a box and give it a try. The cereal itself is really good. It's kind of a mix between eating frosted flakes, honey nut cheerios and a bran cereal but all rolled into one. The more I started eating the cereal I noticed after I ate it that I'd have some.... gas. What was not unnoticeable though was the fact that the cereal made my gas smell like pure death. I've had to steer clear of it. Anyone want a half a box of cereal? Going once, twice... to the birds it goes. 

Weekend Review

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! My holiday weekend started off on Wednesday. I couldn't count down the minutes fast enough before I could get out of work! When I got home I was tired but determined to make something yummy to eat for dinner. I decided on an extra cheesy, pepperoni pizza... 

Then later that night I went to the 10:00p.m (first showing time in CA) showing of The Hangover Part III. I love these movies! Yes, I know the second one wasn't as good as the first but the third one makes up for it. I thought it probably the best one in the series. I might even go see it again... oh wait, no I won't because it's like 12.00 to see a movie! I can pay that on the dvd when it comes out. 

 

Thursday I figured I should get as many errands done as possible before the holiday traffic started to take over Sacramento. One of my tasks was grocery shopping, during it I found some of the biggest strawberries I have ever seen! Take a look at an example....

It took up my entire palm! The strawberries are just the right color, taste and shape. This one even looked like a heart. I also added to my vintage Merry Mushroom collection by getting the bread box as an early birthday gift from my mom.

It's so cute and it gets all of my bread off the kitchen countertops. I originally had plans of going skydiving this coming week but they had to get cancelled due to people in the group having to reschedule. Since I had all that money burning a hole in my pocket, I finally bought one of the necklaces I had been wanting for months. 

It won't be here for about two weeks but it's going to look awesome with some of my summer attire! Then to top off the weekend, I visited the Sacramento County Fair! I even got an Elvis tattoo (don't worry it's only temporary!)

Among the many foods that I consumed while at the fair, my favorite was probably this madagascar vanilla bean gelato. Pure amazingness!

And that kids is how you spend a memorial day weekend!
