I miss reading blogs at work. It used to help bring perspective to my day, either by bringing up thought provoking questions or just reminding me that there are fun and interesting things going on everywhere else outside of my cube. If I respond during the day, I’m probably on my Droid.
My department moved last week and I got put in a corner window cube. About 1 in 4 people that have stopped by have remarked, “Wow, nice window cube!” These are temp cubes while my office is doing a downsizing of the cubes on the other floor, I doubt my corner cube will last. When we move in six months, they’ll put in me in a closet. It’s alright, but it’s not a big deal to me, there’s nothing cool to see outside of my office, just a traffic light. No stores, no people walking. Who cares about a window cube. 10k more would be nicer.
Movie Reviews
Priceless - Wow, I was totally surprised by this one. I watched two man whore movies in the past week and this one was a gem. A French rom-com that has charm, beautiful hotels, clothing, and scenery (French Riviera). And one Audrey Tautou, she looked so cute and hot that I wanted to reach through my screen. If you didn’t think she was the next Audrey Hepburn before, you will now. Watch this with your girl… she’ll love it!
Spread – The other man whore movie I saw. Anne Heche boob shot didn’t turn me on, but the Ashton Kutcher going doggystyle sure did! Just kidding. This movie doesn’t really have anything significant about it other than it being filmed at a nice house in LA and at a couple of sweet clubs. I found it mindlessly entertaining. Redbox rental approved!
Hurt Locker – So far my vote for Best Picture. A story about IED techs in the military and the risks they face in the Middle East. If I was a high school teacher and was teaching history, I’d show this movie. (Darn, can’t! Rated R)
Avatar - Loved the 3D effects, story left more to be desired. Last 40 minutes dragged a little.
Prom Night (1980 version) - God, this movie sucked.
The Other Man – This movie seemed off. Liam Neeson and Antonio Banderas, something just didn’t quite click. The point is… your woman just might have a fantasy about getting with the apartment maintenance man in another country. Or maybe the point is, you need engage your woman and let her know that she’s still your beautiful woman and the charm of your life, or she’ll seek that affirmation elsewhere.
The Dead Girl – Eerie watching Brittany Murphy in this one. The whole movie is pretty dark, but well made.
Up In the Air – Very timely story about corporate downsizing in America. George Clooney plays the outsourced downsizer who comes in to give a company’s employees the severence package news. This movie had my attention throughout. The young girl that plays the new program implementer looks and acts like the internal auditors in my company. East Coast or Mid-Westish, young and full of knowledge, comes in with guns blazing but has no idea how our business is run.
Broken Embraces – Pedro Almovodar movie starring Penelope Cruz. Worth watching, but I wasn’t as impressed as the other reviews for it were. Everything just doesn’t fit smoothly enough to be a great film, but it’s numerous oddities make it somewhat charming.
Lorna’s Silence – Bleak movie that is masterful in leaving you with that bleak feel that the character feels but not an enjoyable film to watch. Critics loved it, me not so much.
Old School – Yeah, I’m behind on my movies. So fun to watch.
Catch Me If You Can – I told you I was behind on my movies! Leo’s character sounds like something I would do… for the fun of it.
Adventureland – A coming of age story where Jesse Eisenberg is a new college grad that seems like he’s playing Michael Cera, except Michael Cera isn’t in this movie. Kristen Stewart is the love interest, but then so is the scorching Margarita Levieva. For all of those awkward dorks out there like me… we have hope! I loved this movie.
Battlestar Galactica (Seasons 1 & 2) – I’m behind on my TV shows too. I know sci fi sounds nerdy, but this is one deep show. It’s character and principle driven. It makes you question religion and spirituality and love. I think if any of you start watching it, you’d get sucked in (yes, girls too). Guest appearances by Xena and Dana Delaney along with all their regular cast eye candy… I think it’s probably one of the best shows ever made and I don’t say that lightly.

i read my subs on my phone when im out waiting and bored. cept i cant always comment if theyve utilized a html enhanced layout. so a lot of times, i read, and never get around to commenting. ive not heard of a lot of these movies…but then again, i am not a big movie watcher. i did attempt to watch “across the hall” with brittany murphy a couple of weeks ago and was so bored i couldnt finish it.
Bummer! At least you can access it via the phone.
kinda sad to hear broken embraces wasn’t all that.
i’ll keep priceless in mind
@HushNowLuv - Not a movie person… really? What kind of movies do you normally watch? What are some of your faves? I can comment on other’s sites but can’t reply on mine and can’t write posts because it reads in HTML. Are you on an iPhone?
@chrispycrunch - Yeah, but like Hush, I can’t post because the HTML is all messed up.
@fangstar - Also check out Adventureland. Just watched that.
