So why can’t I?!

Please go visit my lovely lady friends at Inconceivable and You and Me and Baby Makes Three (four?) to celebrate their wonderful news!

I want a baby. But we’re not ready yet. Maybe another year. We’ll see. For now, I shall remain content living vicariously!

I’m off all this week…no school, no work. I’ve told myself and my friends that I intend to write my three film reviews for my Western Civ class and catch up on all my Geology reading. Whether all of that will actually get done is another story all together. I do have other projects to work on…like these cute little beaded tea light candle covers I’m stitching, and season one of The 4400 on its way here from Netflix, and the highlighting I want done on my hair tomorrow, and this new game I’m addicted to. So much to do, so little time!

I finished reading The Other Boleyn Girl and absolutely LOVED it! I couldn’t put it down. Now I’ve started The Red Tent. It’s an easy read and another can’t-put-it-down-er.

We’re already over halfway done with our Christmas shopping! I made a list in Excel a couple weeks ago with columns for who to buy for, what to buy, how much it costs, if it’s been purchased and sent, that sort of thing. It’s super cool. I’ve been going a little bit nuts on eBay and Amazon lately. Did I mention I’m a sucker for a bargain?!

Have you ever noticed that in bigtime movies (not independant films) that take place in any country other than America or Mexico, the actors don British accents to convey the idea that they are in a foreign land? I notice this constantly and although it generally grates on my nerves that this happens, I’ve mostly gotten used to it. Over the weekend we watched Alexander starring my pseudo-boyfriend Colin Farrell. His Irish accent is only one of his many endearing qualities. Seeing his bare ass and a shadow of his “groceries” made the movie all the more bearable. But why must he and all his fellow Macadonians speak with such thick Scottish, Irish and English accents?!?! THEY’RE IN ANCIENT GREECE, for Pete’s sake! How hard would it be to call up Nia Vardalos or anyone else from My Big Fat Greek Wedding and inquire about the authenticity of a Greek accent? At least Angelina Jolie threw on some kind of exotic thick accent. Don’t they have an Accents 101 class in acting school?!
