A Little Bit of Heaven

So I tried my idea of blogging the night before and then transferring them to a computer with internet later! HA - that would work if I could find one of the two jump drives I own.  It is like, sometimes, you just can't win.

Tomorrow I have a day that I get to make my own hours.  I love when the doctor is gone - I can get so much office work done that I can't squeeze into a 9.5/10hour day when we have patients.  I'm hoping to be liberated earlier so both my sister and I can go get something for our correctly sized "girls." It is amazing what Ali Cudby taught me in one book.  CRAZY!

So onto movies:  I recently watched A Little Bit of Heaven.   Marley, played by Kate Hudson, is a marketing/PR maven.  She is hitting the prime of her life: great job, a great dog, great friends, a satisfying sex life; however, she lacks true love.  Her assistant notices that she hasn't been looking very well and shoos her to the doctor.  Little does she know, that appointment is going to change her life.  She discovers she has colon cancer after a colonoscopy procedure where she met God (Whoopie Goldberg plays her representation of God).  Whoopie/God tells her that she is dying and she can have 3 wishes.  Marley jokingly asks to fly.  After contemplation and asking if God was joking, she then suggests a million dollars as a test.  God says, ok, but I know that isn't what you really want.  Marley wakes up in the procedure room and brushes the incident off.  Then she begins to get signs that it was no joke! She also discovers what her true, third wish really involves.

I think they mislabeled that film as a comedy. It did have some funny parts, but not really the happiest ending. I also think the PG-13 was a little low of a rating.  Sex, sex, sex, potty mouth, nudity, and a masturbation talk.  WHOA - awkward while watching with your mother and younger sister. It was also not the best movie to watch about a person with Stage 4 Colon cancer like my grandmother. It was still a very cute movie, despite making all who watched with me cry. Gael Garcia Bernal didn't hurt the appeal of the movie either.

Borrowed Tenderness

So I am waiting for my TV show to come on : Drop Dead Diva. It's the season finale and I'm really excited for it!

I didn't get a chance to blog on Thursday since I ran out of the house in the hopes of catching an anthropology lecture that was going on at the library. Turns out, that was the only night that it wasn't being held at the library. Gah! Oh well, I'd already missed the ones I had really wanted to hear the previous night.

This afternoon I watched Something Borrowed with some friends. I was laughing my butt off and screaming at the tv. I love friends that love shouting at the tv as much as I do! It was a really cute movie of misunderstandings and going out and getting what you want for once. It didn't turn out as I had wanted it too, but oh well. Kate Hudson was RIDICULOUS - but then again, she does tend to play crazy well.

I also watched, shock, another Russell Crowe movie: Tenderness. It is a creepy movie about a cop that follows around a phsycopath young man that got released from jail. He murdered his parents and got off as a child on antidepressants. He also murdered several other girls, but he wasn't ever convicted. He runs into this creepy girl who has only ever been abused by the men in her life. She befriends him and helps him - she also helps the cop in numerous ways.

Pretty Little Start

I am super excited for the June 14th premiere of Pretty Little Liars! I can not wait.

I'm a little thrown off right now while listening to Allen Ginsberg reading his poetry. I think I can't handle his hippie poetry - my God, it has only been 6 minutes and I've heard more about sex and communism and capitalism than I'd ever really like to hear.

Anyways, back to Pretty Little Liars. I'm excited to have the story line pick back up and see what happens now that A is becoming more and more revealed and there has been a death! Plus, the cops got really close to finding out about Fitz and Aria! Yikes.

Going to things even more flitty than tv drama - I can't believe that Kate Hudson is going to get married again. She said after she divorced her first husband that she didn't believe in monogamy or committing to one person for a lifetime. I'm not against her finding love and getting pregnant, but if you don't believe in the commitment, why even get married? I guess I don't just understand why you'd bother with a wedding and marriage commitment if you only plan on breaking it and getting someone new in another couple of years. If you don't believe in it, why do it? It's like those how are atheists going out and praying. Now wonder the rate of divorce is insane in the United States. We have pop culture that treats love like a flitty feeling: "Tonight I'm loving you". Enrique used to have good love songs with his Latin culture. Especially with his father having some of the most amazing love songs. We are all about sex addictions and Sex and the City - not that "At last" moment. It is not surprising to me at all that the ideas of love in this country are so screwed up. We don't want a lasting love relationship - someone that we cherish and care about enough to stay by through thick and thin into eternity - America wants a one night drunken stand that ends with a Plan B pill at 10 the next morning.
