And the Winning Name Is...

After a week of picking out names for the puppy (ridiculous, I know)....we've decided on Brodie. We named him after the character Brodie Bruce in Mallrats. Don't know who that is? Go rent it...Mallrats is one of our favs and since Matt is a massive Kevin Smith fan, it totally fits.

Learn the Symbol

Dear Bad Drivers,

This is a merge symbol. Proper merging = no accidents. Please practice.

Lailah and I always talk about people who can't merge. It drives me insane, particularly on days like today when it's pouring outside and it's already harder to drive. Just another pet peeve...

I'm Confused...

Has anyone else seen this insanity???

Are people really going to roll up to work with this thing and sit for 8 hours at their desk?

Dizzy Barf Barf

Went to see "Cloverfield" last night. I told Matt that get to pick the next few movies. He totally gave me the option to pick a movie last night, but I knew he wanted to see this one and I figured I could see "27 Dresses" another night. Note - if you plan on seeing this movie, bring a barf bag.

I can't tell you if I liked it or hated it...because I was only able to watch 20 mins of the movie. I knew that it was shot a la Blair Witch Project on "hand held" cameras, so I popped some dramamine a few hours before we went. Didn't help. It was so bouncy and blurry that I just couldn't handle it. Even Matt, who never gets motion sick, had to close his eyes for a bit of it. But I did listen to the movie and there were some holes and such and made me leave and enter into a deep discussion with Matt about the problems with it...but it was ok.

I'm Kissable

Anyone who knows me knows I love lip gloss. Today I went to the Bath & Body Works super sale and found this. I'm obsessed. Super yummy and minty but has shine and a little bit of color. It's wonderful. It's about time I found a new gloss to love. I also bought a bunch of room fresheners and a ton of yummy smelling soap. With the $25 gift certificate I had, I ended up spending only $5 of my own money. I do love a sale...

Every Weekend is a 3-Day Weekend

So I think I like this no school on fridays thing. Because I didn't have to drive to SF today, I was quite productive:

1) Spent most of the day in bed reading "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham for my Wrongful Convictions class. It broke my heart.

2) Cleaned the kitchen. Not only does it smell like lemon, but I finally unpacked all the cool kitchen gadgets Matt and I got for Christmas.

3) Went to see "I Am Legend". I HATED it. The ideas of Zombies and screwed up dogs doesn't sit well with me.

4) Played Rock Band. I'm becoming quite the drummer.

I feel accomplished for the day. What am I going to do when I graduate and have a 9-5 (let's be honest: an 8-7 job) and I don't get days off?
