I love you, Paul Rudd...


These guys are all pretty funny, but I've noticed I get really geeked up about anything with Paul Rudd in it lately. Eric and I watched I LOVE YOU, MAN last night, and I really dug it. It was a great concept that I feel like a lot of people could relate to. It was essentially a feel-good bro-flick. Poor husband, I knew it wasn't quite the same watching the movie with me, when Eric really should have been watching it with another special someone, they could have held each other close through the really moving parts. But, back to Paul Rudd... I was excited to watch him in this movie, because I realized I enjoy him in so many movies he's in these days. Even if he is not the main character, he's still a stand-out. Take 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN for instance, I think his character is so hilarious and fun to watch, and even if he's playing a sorta pathetic clingy ex-boyfriend, he still is able to maintain an adorable likability. If you haven't watched the Age of Aquarius video at the end of that movie, you must! It is freakn hilarious! I also enjoyed his kick on SNL this year. The other night I was flipping through the channels and stopped to watch the tail end of one of my favorite older flicks, CLUELESS, and guess who was the leading man.... that's right, Mr. Paul Rudd. So... here's to you Mr. Rudd, for entertaining me so thoroughly, and to you future endeavors... we love you man.

Finally, a movie I've actually been looking foward to...


Eric and I watched Coraline last night in 3D. The whole 3D experience was not quite what I had expected. At times it seemed to give the movie an enhanced quality, and other times it seem as if the 3D was off. I never had the feeling as if anything was popping out of the screen. The movie however, I liked a great deal. It was dark, but not too dark. A tiny bit of a Tim Burton feel, but more original. I am looking forward to watching the regular ol' 2D version. Eric might want to watch it with me, considering that we had all the lights off in order to really get a feel for the 3D, and he really got a feel of watching the back of his eyelids throughout the movie. I've got to cut him a little slack I suppose, as we are new parents and both pretty sleep deprived.

Burn baby burn...


It's been crazy hot here, so the family has been confined to the only air conditioned room (family room) in the house for days. This is the first time I am able to sit at the computer and not be sweating like bananas, (yeah, they sweat). I slept in my own bed for the first time in like a week and it was AMÅZING. Now I have lots of chores to catch up on in the rest of the house that has been neglected--fun. Oh, and in a mad, sweaty fit, I bought a Slip N' Slide, woohoo!
