Valentine's Day Movie Review

This past Saturday night I went to see Valentine's Day with Z. I'd read in a few places, that it was getting terrible reviews but I still wanted to go because the trailer looked so cute! And in the end, I'm very glad we went. Sure, it'll never win an academy award. And sure, Taylor Swift is probably one of the worst actresses on the face of the planet (Gah- I really do hate Tay Swift). But the movie does make you laugh. And it's also really interesting how they work all these characters stories together so that they're all part of each others. I seriously never would have been able to write this movie because I could never have figured out how to make all these people's lives overlap. But it really was cute, and it has a great cast. And contrary to what the title may have you believe it's not 100% a chick-flick. Zach enjoyed it and even my Dad said he'd want to go see it with my mom some time.

I'm not saying it's a movie that you HAVE to see in theaters, it'd be just as good a rental, but if you're looking for a movie to see, and aren't really sure, Valentine's Day is a safe bet. My only suggestion is to try and go in the afternoon. Regal Cinemas has recently changed their policy and no longer does student discounts on weekends. So instead of paying the $8.50 that I paid before, I paid $10. It's not that big of a deal, but if you want to see a movie at a better price, just go see a late afternoon showing and save yourself a few bucks :).

Edit: Yes, I did pay for my movie ticket, and Zach's, but he'd just spent $50 on dinner, and he always pays for things. Also it's the 21st century, and I think a girl contributing to the cost of dates is acceptable now.

sorry!!! I'm back!

I know! I haven't updated my blog much in the last week, but I blame the snow. I mean not really, I mean it really has technically given me MORE time to update than I had before, but it just makes me so sleepy, and I have such limited interaction with the outside world, that I don't really have much to talk about! :(

So here are some interesting tidbits about today!

#1- I did my make up this morning even though I will be spending the entirity of the day in the lib, but it looks so pretty! :) I know you can't really tell in this picture at all because it's bad quality but I'll show you anyway. I did my normal face routine and then I put a light clay color on the lid, a deep reddish brown in the crease, and a gold highlight on my brow bone. It's all Revlon Cream Eyeshadow, and that really is my favorite :)

To be honest, I'm well aware that you can't tell at all in this picture, but I don't really know what to do about that :P.

#2- I got an iTouch for my birthday from my parents (who really, truly, did spoil me rotten) and I ordered a little case for in off of eBay for like 4 dollars. It's cute and purple! Wanna see??? Isn't it cute???

#3- I get to taste test today finally, and I am pretty excited about it. I keep checking my email though because I'm afraid they'll cancel it because the roads are so slippery!!!

#4- Tomorrow Z. and I are going to see "Valentine's Day" and go out to dinner and I am super excited! I know it won't technically be on Valentine's Day that we're going out, but I know myself, and I just wouldn't enjoy going out on a Sunday as much as a Saturday because of school work and such. :) Whatever, who cares, he's my Valentinnneee who cares what day it is??? :)

#5- I'm watching Regis and Kelly because we had a delay this morning due to the slippery condition of campus, and I'm excited. I love Regis and Kelly but I never get to watch it because it always comes on after I'm already on campus!

#6- I decided not to work out today because I was really tired this morning, and I did run five miles yesterday, and even though it's only been power yoga, I've done everything every day this week. However, I still feel kind of guilty about it. Weird???

#7-  I've been trying to convince Z. to let me pay for something for our Valentine's Day date. At one point he was like no I want to do it all, and I was like fine, then let it be your Valentine's Day "gift" to me (I got him a little sumtim' sumtim' but I'm excited to give it to him so I honestly don't care if I don't get something back :P). And he was like.. well if paying for the movies is that important to you, you can. Andddd so I was like, OH! It's because you've already gotten me something isn't it?? I said "YOU GOT ME TEDDY DIDN'T YOU!?!" Soooo I'm basically entirely positive that I will have the adorable puppy I mentioned in my blog  a few weeks ago by this time Sunday...

#7.5- Please allow me to keep this delusion

#8- I love Valentine's day colors! :) I love the pinks, and red, and sparkles!

#9- I've decided that for my birthday present to me, I am going to get my self one of the Vera Bradley Tech cases because I've wanted one for a really long time to keep my camera, and now my iPod, in. They're pretty big, so I think I could very easily fit both because I don't have a big camera at all, but now I'm not sure. Should I get it to match my purse and my wallet? Or should I just get a random pattern that I like?

 Here it is in the pattern that will match my purse/wallet

Here it is in a color that is pretty and just would be "fun"  

Keep in mind that NOT everything in my purse matches. I have an ID thing on my key which is cupcake green, a purple punch ID case that I keep change in, and a Daisy Daisy eye glass case. What do you think??? 

#10- In the spirit of Valentine's Day I am going to do two other posts "How we Met" and "How we Got Engaged" in the coming days!! :) :)

Valentine's Day Screen Shots

Got my Computer in gear for the incoming "love" season :)

How Pretty!! My desktop background :) 

My "homepage". This normally comes up as my homepage, but I'd already been doing some stuff when I pulled it up :) Anddd I removed my full email address, and whited out some tabs so you didn't know where I went to school/lived!

I'm not really a waitress

I love this Red by OPI. I've seen it on a ton of people, and I swear it looks great on everyone. It's deep and bright at the same time, and isn't too "Christmas-y" Check it out if you're looking for a red for Valentine's Day!

If you're interested in buying it this is one of OPI's most popular colors, so it can be found in places like Wal-Mart or Taget sometimes. If you can't find it there Trade Secret also carries OPI nail color along with many local hair dressers. It runs about $8 a bottle, but I've had this one for like two years, so they do last a while!
