Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?

Today the Golden Globes Nominations came out and it got me thinking about all the movies I want to see and about the ones I have seen so far that are up for some awards.

The Movies I Have Seen

The Fantastic Mr. Fox - Thumbs Up - This movie is more quirkie adult than kiddie film
Up In The Air - Thumbs Up - One of the best movies of the year, I think
The Princess and the Frog - See It - The return to good 2D animation
Pirate Radio - Thumbs Up - Surprisingly fun Britsih type movie. Loved the Soundtrack!
Julie and Julia - Thumbs Up - If you haven't seen it you must!
Couples Retreat - Thumbs Up - Fun in a mindless way
500 Days of Summer - I am not sure how to rate - I didn't like this as much as I thought I would. But it might be because it turned out to be a non-gooey-romantic film. I didn't find it as engaging as I thought I would.
UP - Thumbs Up - Totally good Disney flick, should win animation Oscar
Inglorious Basterds - Thumbs Up - Not Quinten's best work but still good
District 9 - Thumbs Up - But a total gross out for a girl like me. Luckily I can appreciate a unique story.

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

How Was Your Weekend?

Does a Monday morning ever go by without someone asking you how your weekend was? I got to work and was bombarded with the question and this week I didn't have a thing to say. Didn't feel good the whole weekend so we did nothing except managed to go grocery shopping, make a trip to Target and watch several epsiodes of Quantum Leap and Battlestar Gallactica. I found that when you don't have anything to say it's good to have at least a change in your appearance to deflect the pitty looks for not having done anything on your weekend. Luckily, I had a new hair cut and color job so I was able to skip the fact that I didn't have any exciting plans to report. Last week I awoke with that I can't this hair anymore attitude and booked an appointment. I went back to bright blonde as opposed to darker blonde with brown streaks I had for the wedding. It was refreshing to go get your hair done after spending the weekend in pain. Luckily for me, the new hair color must hav...
