vampires, squirrels and a haz-mat suit

Monday afternoon Chris texted me this:  Movie night tonight? Vampires? *quirked eyebrow

I was all like, wah? He wants to buy something. Surely he can’t be serious.

But really he hadn’t seen Twilight yet and he was desperate to at least see why I’m obsessed with that Edward guy what the hype was all about. So after tucking the kids in bed we popped in the DVD I snagged on Saturday, that had sadly been sitting neglected on the kitchen counter still suffocating in it’s plastic wrap.

Here is the top five list of comments he made during the move:

  1. For a guy that never sleeps, Edward has wicked bed head. Yes, yes he does. Would you mind growing your hair out like that?
  2. So no garlic. No fangs. No holy water. No capes. No coffins. No wooden stakes. No silver bullets. Are you sure this movie is about vampires? Yes, eyeroll. That’s why it’s GOOD.
  3. Bella can stop running if she’s just wash her stink off once in a while. (bonus extras to this one are below, it went on for hours) Let’s just say that the whole Biology fan scene when she sniffs for b.0. left an impression.
  4. Why doesn’t she ditch her jankity truck and ride Edward to school? Gigty. Family Guy, I hate you.
  5. I can read your emotions too! You are pissed off I’m commenting on the movie… Jen, I think I’m a vampire. This was after I explained Jasper’s power, he was not impressed.

So needless to say I don’t think he’s ever going to watch is again unless you count walking past the TV as I watch it over and over and over. ;) I think he gave it a very generous 3 stars and one of those stars might have been just cause he loves me. I’ve seen every Star Trek movie just for him, we’re even now.

*** Here are the bonus parts to number 3. I nearly peed myself when I read the squirrel comment.

  • Or wears a haz-mat suit.
  • Or rubs some dead squirrels on herself.
  • Or lives in a hamster ball.

transformers, shopping, trees, lights, and laundry

A riveting title escaped me this morning.

So here is the weekend recap. Saturday Chris and I got up, fed the kids, watched a little bit of Transformers the movie. Yes, that’s right. Transformers the movie. A movie that has some of the worst dialogue, bad acting, though cool effects and I still couldn’t stop watching the dang thing. Maybe it’s because I was a tomboy, maybe it’s because I had Transformer action figures, maybe it’s because I still know who Optimus Prime is, and maybe it’s because I know the difference between Transformers and Voltron but I couldn’t stop watching the stupid movie, and let me tell you it’s fascinatingly lame.

After we morphed back into adults Chris and I got everyone ready and headed out to Target with the intention of just getting Christmas lights. Two hours later we came back with all of our Christmas shopping done!! This is HUGE. We are last minute, still shopping on Christmas Eve people, not done shopping two weeks before Christmas people. All of its still unwrapped but that I can handle.

Once that was done we headed home to clean the house to have some friends over. A little bit of salad and pizza later we were hanging out playing Blockus. If you haven’t played this game you should. It’s awesome. The best description I can come up with is that it’s like multiplayer tetris but that’s not even quite right. You should get it. Really.

Sunday was a blur of activity – we set up the Christmas tree, hung Christmas lights and decorations, I graded 3 classes worth of projects, did 4 loads of laundry, made 4 pieces of jewelry and I even did a little reading (they’ll be mailed out today if I owe you something :) ), Chris did 6 hours of flash web design for work and came down with a nasty cold.

Whew, I’m tired just writing that out. What did you do this weekend?
