It's Thirsty Thursday, Gimme an Extra Shot in my Macchiato ;)

Hello World!


Sorry it's been a few days since my last post, but things have been busy, busy, busy...the crappy thing about long weekends, is that the rest of the week you are spending trying to play catch-up. I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but we all know it's true.


Anyway, I did manage to get the Weekend of Sequals in, even though it spilled over into the work week a bit. Kung Fu Panda II was cute as predicted, and if nothing else, the graphics and artwork for the movie were awesome. When you have someone like Jack Black voicing the main character, you know it has humor that adults could enjoy as much as the kids. AND (spoiler alert!) they left things open to make a third movie ;)


The Hangover II was better than I expected, because to be honest the hype surrounding the movie made me a bit nervous. How could someone successfully write basically the same movie plot TWO times and have them both be a hit? In this case it worked out, though. If you liked the first movie's brand of crude and predictable humor (not for the weak of stomach), you should like this one, too. And what can I say, the monkey was damn cute. He pretty much made the movie. The fact that he could rock a denim biker jacket and puff noncholantly on a cigarette made him my hero! Not going on my list of favorites but it was definately good for some laughs...Was it an enjoyable movie? Yes. Do I hope they know when to call it quits and refrain from making a third in this case? Yes.


Also a big shout out to Bobby B. for being my first official follower! You're the best!


I will be writing again shortly. In the meantime, food for thought: As I write this on my lunch break, I wonder how strange it would be to return to a time and place without social networking. Do you think you would be more productive in your everyday tasks, or would you just find something else to kill time? Hmmmm....
