3 days til Dear John

The Dear John Premiere was on Monday in Hollywood. I'm jazzed about this movie! (if you didn't already know by all of my blogging about it)

(and because it looks very good)

This is Channing Tatum at his cover shoot for Details magazine. For more sassy pics go HERE.

Fire burning me up

"fire burning me up, desire taking me so much higher, and leaving me home"



This song really stood out to me while watching Friday Night Lights tonight. It's older but I'd never heard it. It's called "fire" by Augustana. I've only watched the first 7 episodes from season 4 of FNL and so far i've cried through about half of them. Has anyone else watched them yet?

On another note....WTF Dexter??? That was the biggest twist of a season finale I've ever seen!! I just don't even know what to think...(im not going spoil it) soooo good but soooo wrong. Also, so sad to hear that Michael C. Hall is battling hodgkin's lymphoma but good to know that he's on the road to recovery along with winning a Golden Globe and a SAG Award for Dexter! GO HIM!

Hold My Hand

Here's a very short video from the encore performance of Darius Rucker & Rascal Flatts singing an old hootie song "hold my hand". (the sound isn't that great...sorry)




The concert was really great. I personally enjoyed Darius Rucker the most. He sang oldies and newbies, i was glad he sang some Hootie songs too. He just seems like a very down to earth guy by the way he was talking. I love him!

Movies like whoa!

I've seen quite a few movies lately- and they've all been very very good!

Julie & Julia
As always Meryl Streep is a genius! I really enjoyed this story, I thought it was cool to see Amy Adams character challenge herself. I would love to do something like that someday. It was good- not great but Meryl was great!

It's Complicated
Once again Meryl Streep is a genius! This movie was suprisingly hilarious! I laughed a lot! It's nice to see a love story with an older couple for a change. I also loved John Krasinksi in this one-he's humorous. Just good stuff, so funny.

AMAZING! I had 3 glasses of Sangria at dinner before this one so that may have influenced me a bit but I really loved this movie. I'm not normally into this type of sci-fi story but I really enjoyed the love story and all of the cool little things (like how the hair would connect to the banchie things they rode). I liked how everything looked and how nature was so appreciated. Plus Sam Worthington is hot.

Lovely Bones
I never read this book but I thought the movie was very good. It's an unfortunate story but I appreciated all of the fantasy "in between" scenes and I picked up on some of the symbolism and connection to later parts of the movie. I heard about some of the things that were cut out of the book and I'm happy about it. I'm very glad that they didn't have the rape & murder scene in the movie because that always makes me uncomfortable and gives me an instant stomach ache. I read in EW that Peter Jackson was getting bad feedback because he didn't have the rape and murder scene, in his defense he said that he didn't want Saoirse Ronan (Susie) to have to go through that scene and he mentioned he didn't want her to be know as the "girl that got raped in that one movie". I agree. Your left with love in the end of this movie even though the story is heartbreaking.

My sis had this on her blog and I wanted to share it too! Its my mom & dad in the 80's. Classic!!! Miss him, love her!!!

Walleye Game

I went to my first Walleye hockey game last night. It was pretty fun, they won against Trenton (I dont know where that is, im guessing Michigan). I'd definitely go back for another game. Funny thing- there were these 2 guys sitting next to me that were hardcore walleye fans (jerseys and all) drinking the whole time of coarse, and they started this "cheer" yelling "carusso, carusso, carusso-YOU SUCK!" And Carusso was the Trenton's goalie. As they did this over and over I was wondering what Carusso was thinking ya know? The one time he started tapping his stick on the ice, but one other time almost 2 seconds after they yelled "YOU SUCK", walleye scored on him! It was perfect haha. I sound cruel, but i wasn't yelling it so I can laugh about it.

Also, just to give you an idea of what kind of people go to these games- there was this 50 something year old man that was sitting right behind the rink and during this "hype" moment he took his glasses of and slammed his head against the boards and was like being a tough guy cheering. It was hysterical--he was very hardcore apparently.

Daphne Guinness, 43, is some kind of fashion icon and a rich woman from a rich family. That's not important- whats important is how insane her shoes are!!!!!! I found this picture on one of my fav celeb gossip blogs and i had to share it with ya'll.

Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, & Darius Rucker

I'm very excited because I have tickets to see all three of these great artists when they drop by the Lucas Co. Arena soon. I haven't really been into country music in a long time but it always has a place in my heart- and i can never pass up a concert in TOLEDO. I've seen Rascal Flatts 3 times before, but as for the others-never before. The Rascal Flatts/Darius Rucker concert is Jan 24th. I'm extra excited for Darius because I really enjoy his music and it should be great. Rascal Flatts always puts on a good show but I haven't really gotten into their newest album so I'll have to listen to it a little bit before the show.

Carrie Underwood- I just love her and am most excited about this show. I'm going with a bunch of girls and its not until April 24th. Nick got me her newest album for Christmas so I'm listening to that right now. Cant wait!!
