Spending the 4th with family and friends... This fourth of July was really fantastic. Not only did I have a great day Friday (great food, great company, saw Legally Blonde 2), I had a fantastic 5th as well. Cheri and I drove to Rochester on Saturday to spend the day and night at my Mom's. My nephew Jason Bradley, brother Andy, and brother's girlfriend Michelle were visiting from PA. Jason is 2-1/2 now and seems to be growing up so fast. The last time I saw him was Christmas when he could only say a few things like, 'Where my chocolate?' and 'Shit!' (I kid you not.) Now, he can repeat stuff you ask him to and runs around pointing out and identifying things. About the cutest thing was when I finally convinced him to get in the pool and he clung to me while squealing, 'I'm swimming!' Awwwwwww. While he can't say 'Mickey' (as in Mouse... he says 'Ricky') and he can't say 'Grandma' (he calls her and her male counterpart 'Grandpa'), its amazing just how communicative he is. He also mostly shrugs his shoulders when you ask him stuff. Too cute for words. I was too busy enjoying his company to take any pictures, but mom did. So maybe I can talk her through uploading them onto her computer and sending them to me. But I won't keep my fingers crossed. :-) Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde As for Legally Blonde 2, I think I set myself up for disappointment. The first one I was sure I wouldn't like, so when it actually proved itself to be cute I was impressed. This time, I was psyched to see the movie in the theater, so I think I had higher expectations for it. If you don't expect anything more than to be entertained and you can suspend all expectations for reality, then you'll enjoy Reese Witherspoon and her gay dog in this sequel. There were a few points where I was just disgusted with the entire movie but then got over it within a few minutes. I mean, how can you stay mad for too long at something so... pink. :-) There aren't as many silly, stupid blonde moments in this movie... perhaps Elle Woods has grown up since graduating from law school. And, as an added bonus, the movie is very gay positive, even getting in a little plug for gay marriage (at least of the canine type) at the end. The 'gay dog' story line was worth seeing the movie for. Michael Savage On the way home from Rochacha today, Cheri and I were listening to Savage Nation on AM radio. Who ever decided to let this man talk on the radio!? And how can he be so popular? He spouts the same bullshit that all of those right wing conservative talk radio hosts do... complaining about 'touchy-feely, bleeding heart, unpatriotic liberals' but I think when he says that he wishes a police officer would come along and bash in the skull of a homeless person on a park bench... that he's gone a little far. I mean, OK, so you don't want to help them... I can respect that if that's what you believe... but bash in their skull!? Michael Savage sucks even more than Rush Limbaugh... | private feedback | |
