in awe

I am so unbelievably impressed with Emma Watson. She goes from sweet and innocent to edgy and rocker. Still looking stunning the whole time! She is grown up very gracefully. Bravo.

4 hours of sleep

I went to the midnight showing of Transformers last night. I am rather tired today because of it. It was totally worth it though! Of course, I liked it but I am a bias opinion. The transformers all talked a lot more in this film and there was much more comic relief and sexual innuendo. I love Optimus Prime! The first movie is still much better though.

Views of Paris

I now am working at a fabric and wallpaper showroom here in Portland. There are so many fabulous fabrics and wallpapers that I want that it is painful. This delightful "Views of Paris" covers our bathroom walls. It makes using the restroom so much more pleasurable.

tickets and more tickets

I purchased my tickets for the Tuesday midnight showing of Transformers! Clearly, I am very excited about this. We watched the first one last night and I might have worn my Transformers glow-in-the-dark shirt to bed last night too. Go ahead, laugh. I hope it is as freaking amazing as the first.

Oh, and my wonderful family gave me two tickets to see Amos Lee at the zoo this summer! I can't wait for that concert! It is going to be an amazing summer.

The Proposal

I had the lovely pleasure of seeing The Proposal this weekend! It was fabulously adorable and funny as well! It is definitely my type of movie. Go see it!

Reasons why it is better to date the sidekick instead of the hero

1. Leading men are always sacrificing something, and chances are they are going to sacrifice you. They can never be happy because they have serious business to take care of. With the leading man you will always be his second priority (the first is always saving the world in some way or another) and chances are he will sacrifice you. Ginny Weasley, you should have slapped Harry Potter when he dumped you because he had to do something super duper important, and even though he really really really loved you, he couldn’t tell you.
2. Leading men always have issues and complexes. Maybe they wouldn’t be the center of attention if they didn’t have issues, but either way, do you want to deal with the hero complexes, daddy complexes, destiny complexes, etc. Can you even begin to contemplate Luke Skywalker’s therapy bills? The sidekicks are a more simple folk. Sidekicks come from loving homes or they don’t have homes. Did you ever notice that the sidekick’s family makes the Brady Bunch look dysfunctional or the sidekick’s past is never mentioned? The sidekick will bring you into his perfect cozy family or the writer never created the sidekick’s family, so you don’t have to deal with them or the issues they created at all.
3. Leading men are so self-centered. Maybe because of the above mentioned issues leading men can’t help but be thrust into the spotlight, but methinks there is a touch of the attention-whore in most of heroes. Do you think Batman would ever ask you how your day at the office was? Nope, he is just going to want to brag about how he saved Gotham City, again, and then mope in a corner about how know one understands his pain. Oh puhleeze. Sidekicks are by nature aware of those around him. He shares and he cares. The sidekick will be there with you as you battle everything from the demons in your life to the cockroach in the kitchen.
4. Ever seen a leading man crack a smile? Occasionally perhaps, but chances are your leading man pouts more than a model during Fashion Week. Hey, I love an intense stare as much as the next gal, but I realize that the soul penetrating glare is just a bit too intense for an entire dinner date. Sidekicks are known for irresistible smiles, charming manners and sweet dispositions. He is never socially awkward so it’s not as if you have to worry about him laughing at a funeral or anything. The sidekick can be serious when he needs to be, but you will have loads of laughs and tons o’ fun while the leading man skulks.
5. At the end of the day, the sidekick’s best quality is not just something we don’t like about the leading man. What makes a sidekick a sidekick is his loyalty and selflessness. A true sidekick sticks by his best bud through thick and thin, and it’s usually pretty thin. If the dude’s character is pure and kind enough to win him the number two spot, chances are he deserves to be your number one man.

You & Me

Want to pack your bags
Something small
Take what you need
And we'll disappear
Without a trace
We'll be gone gone
Moon and the stars
Will follow the car
Then when we get
To the ocean
Gonna take a boat
To the end of the world
All the way
To the end of the world
Oh and when the kids
Are old enough we're
Gonna teach them to
Fly

You and me together
We can do anything baby
You and me together
Yes yes
The two of us together
We can do anything babay
You and me together
Yes Yes
