Saturday night, we watched "Couples Retreat." I'm sure you've seen the previews - Vince Vaughn, Charlotte from Sex and the City, the beach . . . OH - THE BEACH!! I am now obsessed with going to Bora Bora and staying in one of those over-the-water huts (with fish tanks in the floor) and the beautiful blue water and the bright green palm trees and all the wonder and majesty of it. I must go to Bora Bora!! The movie? The movie was good too, it was definitely funny and entertaining. But I could talk more about the beach if you want . . .
Sunday, we went to see "Shutter Island" It was a completely different kind of island and movie. LOML and I both read the book some months ago when we first started seeing the previews. We went into the movie expecting to see what all movies do to good books. . .and what gets me riled up sometimes. However, we were pleasantly surprised that it stuck pretty close to the book. Sure, there were a few, very small changes. Ones that didn't really bother either one of us. In all, I think we both enjoyed the movie just about as much as we did the book. That's saying A LOT!! I absolutely recommend this movie (and book) for a suspenseful, mystery-like, good story. There are a few mildly gruesome scenes (be warned if you can't handle that.)
Overall, we really enjoyed both of these.
Moving on . . .I didn't really get ANY crafting done this weekend. I did make two cards for a meeting I had on Sunday afternoon, but they were rushed and sloppy. Before the meeting, I was able to hit a thrift store and pick up a few items I may share later in the week. (we'll see) I have been craving some polymer clay bead-making and may work on that at some point during the week, hopefully.
Other than that?
Let's pick things up with some long-time coming "Made Me Smile Monday" fun!!
- Funny and even some hilarious analogies and metaphors found in college essays
- Pictures of what the world would be like if the internet didn't exist. My favorite is the second one
- I'm not so sure about this park- definitely keep an eye on your kids there.
Just to let you know, some of the links I'll be sharing in the future may be REALLY old stuff I've had saved for a while. Just catching up . . .
plus Leonardo was there...I mean, how could the movie have been bad???
ReplyDeleteG - I had a feeling you would say that!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the crazy things you find and share! It's always so much fun to see what is next!
ReplyDeleteI've contemplated NOT posting these type of links anymore because I think it makes the posts look busy, but I have a hard time NOT sharing the funny stuff I find.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know I've got at least one supporter!!
