Fuzzy Wuzzy was a Bear. . . no really, he was.

Over the last few weeks I have sat in front of my computer trying to come up with something to blog about. But nothing happened.

Therefore I've decided to just put down whatever crap comes to mind.

1.) Last night I went and saw the movie Valentines Day . . . it was just as terrible as the actual day itself. I was really looking forward to it because Patrick Dempsey is in it, and I'm sort of in love with him right now. The problem was that there were also 30 other main characters crammed into a two hour time slot. Don't waste your money on this one. (Approximate Patrick Dempsey screen time = 10 minutes . . . maybe only 8).

2.) On Tuesday night I was at WalMart doing some shopping when I passed a mother and her baby. That's not unusual right? WRONG. The mother was pushing her cart, and the baby was crawling alongside her on the floor.

3.) I upgraded my cable box to a DVR box and it lowered my monthly payment. That's right, lowered. Also, there is now a loud buzzing noise coming from my television.

4.) Aside from the Olympics being on where I work, I have not watched them at all. I think I might be subconsciously boycotting them because they are preventing new episodes of "The Office", "Parks and Rec" and "Community" from being on.

5.) Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and although I didn't get ashes put on my forehead I did decide to give up eating at fast food restaurants. I thought about giving up Red Bull, but I have like 5 in my fridge and it would have been IMPOSSIBLE. What did you give up for Lent? ( And don't tell me you gave up giving up stuff, that doesn't count)

6.) I really like yogurt parfaits now.

7.) I really want to learn how to ride a unicycle. Would anyone like to buy me a unicycle?

8.) Mom - I need you to do my taxes.

9.) I have a headache right now, but what else is new. In relation to that, a lot of people say that sometimes they get sick when they work out . . . well what does it mean when you feel sick if you don't work out?

10.) That's about it.

I watched Valentine's Day too. NOTHING happened in that movie. Like, NOTHING of any consequence of importance. I can only remember two plotlines out of the million they crammed in (and our cinema censored the Bradley Cooper + Dr. McSteamy storyline) and that was the old people affair and Ashton Kutcher's thing.

I did develop an unhealthily vaguely illegal crush on Emma Roberts' movie boyfriend though, the naked teen with the guitar.

1) Hmmm...don't go to movies.
2) Yuck! Filthy!!!
3) Call customer service?
4) I watched some figure skating, but found the format annoying, so I gave up.
5) I haven't been able to decide on anything to give up.
8) See #9.

Syar - Yeah, and what was up with that kid - -- terrible acting. All of them kind of sucked, so I can only assume it was the terrible writing, which begs the question, why did they all agree to do this movie in the first place? Did they not read the script? Did they only get on board because someone else was doing it? Ridiculous.

When you say they censored the bradley cooper/ Dr. McSteamy storyline, so you mean they cut it out completely, because there wasn't much there to begin with. It was really just like "I'm Gay" . . . . "You heard". The end.

Anon- 8) See #9 - I'm confused on that one.

I thought about going to Valentine's Day just to see the sheer number of famous people in it; that cast is ridiculous. That's probably what they're banking on too, since apparently the rest of the movie doesn't have much going for it. So I guess I'll skip it, thanks for saving me money. I'm going to go crazy with this $7.

I tried to learn to unicycle once. I don't know if I was just worse than most at it, but to me it was stupidly difficult. I gave up after a week of trying. Yes, a WHOLE WEEK.

Cofo - You're welcome, and I also feel like I should get a cut of that 7 dollars. Also . . . $7!? Is that the matinee price?

Cadiz - Yoga huh? I have contemplated taking this up many times. Do you have a video or are you taking a class?
