Dinner For Shmucks

Last night, our new writer, Steve, and I decided to take advantage of our free movie deal with one of the local cinemas (perks of radio, I tell ya). I don't go to a lot of movies, but this one looked pretty good from the previews. Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and Zach Galifianakis? Should be a great flick right? BOY WAS I WRONG!

I thought 40 Year Old Virgin was hilarious. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was also funny! And if you've never seen Zach Galifianakis' "Between Two Ferns" you're definitely missing out.

I posted on Facebook that I was going to see it tonight. Most said it was really funny. Some said that it had a slow start, but got funnier. Not one person said it sucked.

At one point during the movie, I looked over at Steve, and he looked like he was sleeping, but I couldn't be sure. At what I thought was about an hour in, I checked my phone to see what time it was, and how much more of this I had to endure. It never occurred to me to lean over and ask Steve if we could leave.

What didn't I like about it? Let's see....well, the characters, they were alright. I actually thought the role of Barry was really good, and Steve Carell played a great "Idiot". One character I could have done without was "Darla". She was the one night stand of Tim (Paul Rudd) from 3 years prior. She did nothing for me.

I really enjoyed the different outfits and scenarios that Barry's roadkill were in. However, if you read You Thought We Wouldn't Notice, even they're not happy with the film for the blatant rip-off of the original concept from a San Fransisco artist.

Those who told me it got better towards the end were partially right. I got a few more chuckles out of the "Idiot's Dinner" part of the movie.

At the end of the day, I give this one 1/10 and I'm glad not a single dime of my money will be going in their pockets for this one. I opted to spend my money at the snack counter. Oh yeah. When did they stop making DILL PICKLE popcorn seasoning?? Another rant for another day, I guess.

I'm A Shitty Friend

I don't know where things got chaotic, but I used to attend a party or two every now and again. But lately, I find I don't have the same amount of free time as I used to.

Last night I was invited to a friend's birthday party. He was so excited for it, despite the fact his co-bday party friend had to get called into work and would miss the party, that he came into work dressed like Han Solo. 100% Legit. I told him I'd probably swing by to make an appearance. That was my plan....stop by for an hour, have a bevvie and be on my way (work night and all). And I never made it. I spent the night doing laundry. Which absolutely had to get done. I mean, you can only turn your underwear around so many times, right? I'm KIDDING! Anyways, because I live in an apartment, and have to pay for laundry, I opt to do mine at someone's house. Thus, I couldn't just leave my laundry there and go party at someone else's place. That'd be rude.

So to the pal who's party I missed. I feel pretty shitty, and I'm sorry I missed it.

No Luke Bryan, Rain Isn't Always A Good Thing..

Is anyone else sick and tired of all the rain in Grande Prairie? Jeepers. First we're in a drought, crops can't grow...then it rained, and we hope for a late harvest. ITS EASIER TO HARVEST THE CROPS WHEN ITS NOT RAINING!!! Not to mention, I don't own an umbrella, which I admit is my own fault, so I've been getting fat driving everywhere. Right. That's why I'm getting fat...let's go with that.

Also, I just got a text from my roommate...she WAS going to be moving out to live with her boyfriend. Apparently she loves him, but isn't in-love with him, so she'll be moving back in shortly. Damn. I almost had the apartment to myself. On the plus side, my cat will be happy because he missed his roommate (her cat).

Not Ready To Give This Up!

Hey all, thanks for stopping by, and I'm sorry to disappoint you with a piss-poor blog entry. Happy Easter, by the way! So as it seems, I only have time for 1 blog at a time, but I'm not ready to get rid of this one yet..

Everything Is Better With a Second Half

Don't bother whining about being single to me. Check that shit at the door. I don't care. I don't feel sorry for you. Heartless? Not at all. I've been there. Wondering when I'd find "the one". Or wondering what was SO wrong with ME, why didn't I have someone blah blah blah whine whine whine....

...BUT THEN IT HAPPENED!

And I have to say, everything is better with a second half. I had this realization at the bottle depot this morning. I'm quite capable of going to the bottle depot on my own, but just having him there, would have made it more fun! I WISH he liked grocery shopping...because there's nothing I love more than walking up and down the aisles with him. Plus, he's always down for a coffee run or to just go for a drive. Plus, it's wonderful always having that one you can count on. The one you can tell anything to without reserve. If I have a bad day...he knows, and he's ready to try and make it better.

And really, 2 for 1 isn't the same without another half. And you can't exactly make out with yourself in the back row of a movie theatre! Well, you can, buuut it's frowned upon. If you've got that itch you just can't reach, your other half is there to scratch it.

And let's be serious. Regular sex = awesome.

I found a quote a long time ago, and I don't know where it's from...but I've always kept it in the back of my mind since I heard it years ago

"Of what our souls are made of, his and mine are the same"

I feel that it suits my current relationship. We're very much on the same page about everything. Spring is in the air. Love is in the air. And I'm taking a deep breathe.

SO Sick of Being SICK!

On the weekend, I attended a surprise party for my friend Lacey. It was a lot of fun, I walked away with a lot of experiences...my first jello shooter (see above), my first taste of bubblegum vodka, my FIRST SURPRISE PARTY...and my first cold of 2010. Kids, this is what you get when you share drinks. Learn from my mistake. No matter what is being offered, no matter how delicious or awesome it might be, don't share things at parties. Or ever. Unless it's with your pet. I don't think they have germs we can catch. Except rabies, but like that's gonna happen.

ANYWAYS! I just gotta say...I'm SO not a fan. I mean, no one really LIKES getting sick. But I just....argh. I need to vent about it. At least I'm not completely incapacitated. You know, like when Sheldon gets sick on BBT.

And my roommate and my boyfriend are exceptionally happy I'm not that big of a pansy. But I still don't like sneezing every 4 minutes. It's like, my nasal cavity is having contractions, but there's no baby. SO ANNOYING! I keep blowing my nose, thinking that'll kill the sneeze attack....but no, it doesn't. Even as I'm typing, I've been fighting off sneeze attacks. So to whoever decided that sneezing is like an eighth of an orgasm, you sir, are a damn, dirty liar.

The irony? For the rest of this week I'll be giving away bottles of Cold-FX and limited edition Don Cherry mugs on the midday show....Listen for the sneeze (I'll try not to throw you off by sneezing on the air), and be the first one to call in at 780-538-4840 and share your cold remedy with me. IF you give me a remedy to kill MY cold, and can guarantee it works...then I promise to give you the prize.

Please Forgive Me...

I feed my cat more than I blog, I swear.

So what's new with me? James still likes me a lot, so that's good. We just passed the 6 month milestone, which is pretty cool for me. Second longest relationship EVER. Man, I'm a winner.

I've started in a weightloss competition of sorts. Basically, it's the Fit & Firm challenge, and at the end of a 12 week period, whoever loses the most weight, wins the money. At first I talked a lot of smack, but lately....I have gained gained gained. Lost 8, gained 7, lost 7 over the course of a month or so. I've been keeping track of my food and stuff on fatsecret. If you want to help me be accountable, join me on fatsecret, and look up the user radiostar1985.

That's it for now...please enjoy the cutest picture of Mozart! He's been fairly camera shy as of late, and today, he hopped in the tub to lick the remaining water....
