I just watched another great movie last night on Starz.
Dan in Real Life (Steve Carrell, Juliette Binoche, Dane Cook)
So basically it's about this column writer who is recently widowed and down on his luck as far as love goes. So, he and his 3 kids go visit the rest of the family in some woodsy cabin-resort place. While at a bookstore there, he runs into this wonderful lady who he is attracted to. He goes back to the cabin and announces this to the family, and they're all like, WOOHOO, you finally found someone! And he's about to say who it is, when ta-da, she shows up out of nowhere as his BROTHER's girlfriend. So things get awkward then, and there's a secretive tension between them which no one seems to pick up on... and they end up staying in love and eventually get married.

I liked it because the dialogue was so smart/clever.

AND because Steve Carrell wasn't being a freaking cheeseball.

I think he does better in his more dramatic roles (like in Little Miss Sunshine) than in his comedy roles. But that's just me. I'm more of a drama enthusiast than of toilet-humor comedy, so that might be why.

Oh, and a bonus for chuckles?
The family.
They're so, so, SO cheesy.
They have crossword competitions.
They chat warmly around the table.
They teach each other to knit.
They have morning group exercises.
They play football.
They go canoeing.
GAH. It's cringe-worthy. :P

Yesterday I was singing in the choir at my church and briefly fell asleep on stage.
That has got to be one of the most embarrassing, horrible moments of my life as of yet.
I woke up to the lady next to me poking me and asking if I was okay, and then the choir director giving me a stern look.

Ouch.

Why are people who don't support making marijuana legal the ones who get mocked?
Jeez.

I was accosted today by a petition-wielding individual while out shopping, and when I said I didn't want to sign it, they started complaining.

If you don't support it, you're a horrible troll with your panties in a bunch. And then they complain that you have a closed mind. Okay, if they had such an open mind, they wouldn't be bothered by the opposite opinion and fighting it all the time. They'd be like, "Hey brah, it's cool. You've got your side, we've got ours." WHATEVER, you know. I know that about 80% of the weed smoking population is under 25, at least, and they do it 'cause it looks cooooooooooooooool and makes you feel like a supah psychedelic buttahfly in the rainbows, surrounded by mushrooms and unicorns and candy rivers~~~ make love not waaarrr~

Chyeah.
Looks more like tool-ish douchebag-ery to me.
