Still need to watch this. Who wants to go? Am I going to be disappointed having already read the novel and loved it?
Also, I’m trying to decide which Ian McEwan work to read next. Amsterdam or Enduring Love? Or something else? I’ve already read Saturday. Trying to go for something that isn’t/hasn’t been adapted to film, because then I’ll...

I wonder if there will ever be a tumblr marriage?...
Five months after meeting online Kristen and Steve decided to meet in real life. It was then Steve realised he had to do make a decision about his future and two weeks later he moved in with Kira and her 12-year-old Sam.
He said: “It sounds terrible to say but I was in a relationship for 24 years and it got to the point where I had to do something.
“I think I did the right thing and that was to...

50 little things to live by.
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone. 8. It’s...

I can’t imagine a worse place in NYC to watch the Superbowl than Monkeytown.
This is going to sound totally lame, but I’ve never had a superbowl in New York, last year I was at it…so any suggestions on where to go? I am a Cowboys fan but I promise not to raise too much hell :)

I thought they were joking when they put this on the magazine cover that I blogged earlier. Apparently they are not. I think it is kind of sad that they are perpetuating this issue and monetizing her struggle.
Note: there appear to be more posts about Zac Efron than Britney at this point.
I'm totally going to this. →
Michael Clayton : back in theatres?
I saw Michael Clayton this weekend and was just told it was in theatres—out of them—and then returned. I never noticed it went away…and I’ve never heard of movies returning to the theatre…have you? Is it because of the Oscar buzz? It comes out on DVD on February 19th so maybe I am a fool for paying the $$ for the tickets. Hmmm. Confused.
