Once

I just got done watching the movie Once and I had to blog about it. First of all ever since I started using Tivo a couple years back it has completely ruined my awareness of upcoming movies. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE Tivo…probably the best invention of my lifetime but it keeps me from ever, I mean ever watching commercials this includes movie previews. I mean I have gotten so ridiculous with Tivo that if I want to watch anything I turn on the tv, pause the show, go do something for 15min or so then come back and watch it…sad really but what can I say I’m impatient and Tivo completely facilitates this character flaw.  Anyway, as I was saying I never have any clue what movies are coming out, what there about etc. and you know how it is when you see previews on tv you can kind of sense if the movies going to be any good and when a movie isn’t promoted at all, more than likely its not a good movie. So now when I rent a movie I’m sort of doing it blindly. Sorry, that was a long explanation to basically say that I rented this movie Once not knowing if it was talked about or said to be good and it turned out to be a great movie! I had to rewind alot because the actors had strong accents and I almost needed subtitles in some parts but none the less it was a great film. The actors were no namers which I love. They were also not drop dead gorgeous actors just normal looking people which I love. And there was a TON of original music throughout the entire film which I totally love. So if you get a chance this is definitely one to check out (warning it is kinda of a chick flick but a good one)

The Oscars

So here are my picks for best and worst dressed which is really all that matters when one watches the Oscars because I mean really who’s seen all those weird movies they nominate?

Honestly not the best I have ever seen at the Oscar’s but this year the pickin’s were slim and I thought she looked pretty cute.

I mean seriously what is going on here.

And on a really cool note I mentioned in a previous post that I am enjoying the music of Jon Mclaughlin right now. One of the reasons I knew of him and enjoy him is because I went to college with him and last night he performed “so close” from the movie Enchanted at the Oscars, isn’t that crazy!!!! My college was like really small so THIS is a HUGE  deal!!!! Check him out:

Sorry.

I know all of you have been anxiously awaiting my next blog or just Bob…I have to apologize I have been studying like crazy I had a midterm today and I’m happy to report I got a 96%..man I’m smart, jk

Yawn!

The girls of American Idol were a big disappointment tonight!! I was really thinking they were gonna be good and they just really let me down. Maybe I’m being to critical but I am really feelin’ like the guys are gonna take it this season:)

A Photo Meme

I got this idea from a boyagirlandapug’s blog and I thought it would be fun to try. The rules are that using the list of questions I have to use google images to answer the question.

 1. A place you would like to travel

This is a photo of Greece. I have always wanted to go there and someday I will!!

2. Favorite Food

  

SUSHI!!!!!LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!

3. Favorite Dessert

I love chocolate chip cookies. Not to toot my own horn but I have been told that I make a mean Choc. chip cookie and I think its because I love them so much. I would share my recipe but that is TOP SECRET:)

4. My Name

My name, Kathleen, is about as Irish as it gets so I thought a photo of Ireland would be appropriate. I wouldn’t mind traveling there too.

 5. Favorite Animal

This was hard because I am not much of a pet person but I have always loved butterflies. Insects are animals.

My Funny Valentine…

I hope everyones valentine’s day was good!! I am happy to report that I had a wonderful Valentines Day! It starting out with a hilarious fiasco with my flowers (check out my husband’s blog for the scoop on that…he tells it better). And then we got to go out just the two of us…my sister and her boyfriend graciously agreed to let us have the night out, thanks guys:) We haven’t been out just the two of us in a long time so it was great!!!!

Just before our big night out…aren’t we cute:) or cheesy:)

The cookie diet

Ever since I had Jonas 17 months ago I have been wanting to lose 5lbs ok 10lbs ok 15lbs of pregnancy weight that I gained from eating to much coldstone creamery while pregnant.  I hate diets…I mean I really really hate diets mainly becuase they don’t work I mean you lose weight but then you gain it right back. I would much rather do portion control and exercise however this method has been failing me lately. Maybe because I don’t exercise enough and my portions aren’t that controlled but anyway I have finally broken down and decided to just go on a diet and hope that when I go off I will feel good and healthy enough to maintain it.  My mom is starting this cookie diet where you eat these cookies filled with bran and all kinds of healthy stuff for breakfast and lunch and a healthy dinner. It sounds a little crazy I know but you can make the cookies yourself for really cheap and I am all about cheap! She asked if I wanted to do it with her and so here I am writing this blog eating a bran cookie. Anyway I thought that if I blogged about my progress then maybe it would keep me motivated so here goes…stay tuned.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The newsman just said the writers strike may be over as soon as Monday!!!!!! I am so excited…my life has been so incomplete without my shows. Here are a few of my favorites for anyone interested.

• The office (of course)
• grey’s anatomy (although this season was starting off a bit disappointing)
• 30 rock (too funny!!)
• 24 (although I’ve pretty much forgotten whats been going on)
• Desperate Housewives (I know prime-time soap opera but whatever)
• Brothers and Sisters (same as above)
• New Adventures of Old Christine (if you don’t watch this you should elaine is really funny)
• House (I’m a nursing student, I love anything medical)

OK that’s enough I’m afraid if I list anymore it will look like I never get off the coach!!!!!!
