Born To Resist

…Jeff Bridges in Crazy Heart. Which, by the way, is crazy good.

Enjoy.

I’m a nerd. I like certain Sci-Fi things. I really like Star Wars and I really, really like Futurama. I LOVE Bender the Robot. I have a mint in the box Bender toy on my desk. It’s beautiful. So, I found this on Freakingnews.com and about fell out of my chair with the sheer level of enjoyment I experienced.

I am tired. I went to bed around 3, up at 6:30.So goes the life of a vacationing mom. I did have time though to read this:

Intriguing set of pictures, no? Just go to the link. It made me laugh really hard in my comatose state.

Little Edie

I like documentaries. I was the kid that watched Biography when I was about 12. I also use to listen to Ken Burn’s The Civil War with my Dad on cassette tape. This past weekend I found a gem on Netflix. Grey Gardens! I’m sure this isn’t news to some of you, but to me it was quite the find!  Here’s the gist of it from Wikipedia:

Grey Gardens is a 1975 documentary film by Albert and David Maysles, with Susan Froemke, Ellen Hovde, and Muffie Meyer. The film depicts the everyday lives of the two Edith Beales, a reclusive socialite mother and daughter of the same name who lived at Grey Gardens, a decrepit mansion at 3 West End Road in the wealthy Georgica Pond neighborhood of East Hampton, New York.

Big Edie

Long before A&E made the show Hoarders, there were Big & Little Edie. This story might not be so tinged with missed opportunity if the Beales weren’t Bouvier Women. That’s right, relatives to Mrs. Kennedy herself. “Big Edie” was Jackie Kennedy’s Aunt and “Little Edie” was her cousin. I’m not on the hunt for any information about these women I can get. I’m completely and utterly intrigued.

Head on over to GreyGardensonline.com for more info. If you have Netflix- watch the documentary (there is another movie about them starring Drew Barrymore, I haven’t watched it yet).

Zombieland has to be one of the best movies. EVER.

It was a fantastic send up of any post-plague/apocalyptic anything you’ve seen or read. I really, really enjoyed it. I was laughing five seconds into the movie and didn’t stop. This movie had the best surprise I’ve ever seen! I feel like I could probably watch this movie over and over and over again. I could even show it to all my friends. It’s that good.

The other day my brother Aaron walked in and said “You know what I’m looking into?” I quickly responded “Sleeves?”

Why? Because my brother owns about 30 shirts. 2 of them have sleeves. After watching this, I’m rethinking that remark. I’m thinking sleeveless shirts are the new style for today’s rock star on the go.
