Did you see #Supernatural?????

Oh my gosh I can't believe what happened tonight on Supernatural.  The build up to the game changing surprise left me gasping!  Oh my gosh ... CASSSS!! His character is stealing scenes every time he comes in with the dry deadpan delivery.  Where's his Emmy????  Where's Supernatural's Emmy???  When will they recognize the great writing, cast, acting and over all direction of the show.  I was a little worried with the change in the production team but they have made the show their own but keeping the elements that has kept me a fan since the beginning!

Casting a wide dating net!

In case you don't know I haven't met that 'special guy' but have high hopes.  I've been working out and getting in shape so am looking pretty good.  I got some great ideas from the Setup Squad on Logo.  I've already tested it just walking around during the day.

So I decided to go on match since my friend met her boyfriend on the site and he's just a really nice great guy.  I have to get some new photos that look 'sexy' and cuter than the ones I have right now.  Am debating on rather I should go see a movie on Friday night or go out.  Will likely go out since seeing a chick flick is not going to get me the opportunity to meet some guys!

Why the love for men who never grow up???

I was finally reading the Sunday NYT and decided to watch something on netflix.  I put on Grownups with Adam Sandler.  Wow this movie is awful but what truly kills me is that Hollywood keeps churning out these man child movies.  Is this what people really want to see?  Is this what's wrong with some men that they think these qualities are desirable to women? 

Wow am really staying on track

I am keeping on track with my goals for 2011.  Well the ones that I can control.  I'm keeping on track with getting in shape.  I'm working out with the trainers at Pink Iron every week EVEN when I'm feeling lazy I drag myself to the gym and SWEAT!!!!  I'm finally letting go of my 'stuff' ie all the crap I collect and hoard in my closets.  This past weekend I cleaned and sorted like a demon for hours in my apartment.  I even went to the Container Store about some storage solutions.  They were having a clearance on the shoe bins so I got a couple of boxes and sorted my shoes.  I have a huge bag for goodwill of shoes AND clothes. 

I'm still debating on rather I should try to have a garage sale with old clothes, artwork and shoes for a bit of cash for my vacation account. Hmmm bit of a quandary in that .. I don't like to deal with the dickering and having to sit in the sun all day.  I've never been a garage sale sort of person.

Hanna Review (second try)

Hanna is a great action movie about a young girl raised in the wilds of Finland by her father Eric played by Erik Bana as a wild man draped in the pelts of animals he’s killed.  He looks like a bit of a survivalist nut who’s taken his little girl to prepare for the ‘big one’.  Instead as we learn as the movie progresses that they are in hiding from a murderous rogue C.I.A. agent named Marissa played by Cate Blanchett.  The star of this feminist Bourne Identity action flick is played by Saoirse Ronan who was last seen in the period drama Atonement.  This film is directed by Joe Wright who has directed period films Pride & Prejudice and Atonement as well as the Soloist.  The film is as beautiful as his past movies but with a frenetic pace that keeps you on the edge of your seat filled with wonder at the lethal ability of this small pale wispy little girl.

Hanna goes from Finland to Morocco to Germany in pursuit of her arch nemesis Marissa.  The woman her father has told her to assassinate in a kill or be killed scenario.  As the film progresses you learn that Hanna is a very special little girl whose sweet mild demeanor hides the beating heart of a killer.  As we watch Hanna grow from a sheltered girl whose entire being is to kill Marissa we realize that this hunter is also being hunted.   She meets people along the way who show her kindness and friendship something that she’s never experienced while her father raised her to seek revenge.

One of the more poignant side stories is her meeting a happy go lucky British family and making her first friend.  The emotions are almost overwhelming for Hanna who’s unable to process what is the ‘normal’ response from friendship to a first kiss.  As she gets closer to her quarry her prey is one step behind her wrecking havoc amongst anyone Hanna has met.

It is an excellent film that is well directed and written, with strong performances from the entire cast. This movie is rated four out of five popcorn boxes, however be warned, it’s very violent.

Hanna movie review

The action suspense thriller Hanna is directed by Joe Wright and stars Academy Award Nominee Saoirse Ronan, as Hanna and Eric Bana as her father Erik Heller. Hanna is unlike any action movie I’ve seen in a long time.  It is a morality

quandary about right and wrong choices and their repercussions.

Hanna, it seems, is being raised by her father to be a self reliant woman that can do everything from hunt to protect herself from the big bad world.  Of course the “big bad” in this film is a part of the plot twist that provides a big surprise for the viewer.  Academy Award Winner Cate Blanchett plays Hanna’s nemesis, a ruthless CIA operative with an agenda of her own. 

The film opens in the wilderness of Finland with Hanna trekking through the snow. As the film progresses we are made witness to the overwhelming nature of technology on someone who has never been exposed to our everyday society.  Ronan plays this part wonderfully with a subtlety that makes this character come to life, you understand the choices Hanna makes and her motivations for them.

It is an excellent film that is well directed and written, with strong performances from the entire cast.  I give this movie four out of five popcorns, but I have to warn you it is very violent.

Shea Moisture products at Walgreens

I'm so excited that my Shea Moisture Hair products just shipped out from www.walgreens.com.  I got a variety of products that will last me YEARS because they were having a BOGO (buy one get one) sale over the weekend to celebrate that Walgreens had just started to carry the Shea Moisture Hair Line.  Walgreens seems to carry a more products on their website and since it was a GREAT sale.  I bought all of my standbyes and a few new ones that I'm sure will be great for my hair. 

I decided to take my sister's advice and wash my hair every morning and that apply product.  I realized that it really helped with adding moisture to my hair so my curls are more defined.

I'm currently using the shea moisture retention shampoo, the volumizing conditioner and deep treatment masque.  After my shampoo and conditioner combo I than use the hair milk and regular conditioner for leave ins and to create defined curls the smoothie.  My hair is looking great with the new regimen and am hoping by summer it will have grown a few inches.  I'll take a video this weekend of my hair routine.

Spring will soon sprung

Happy Monday!  I had a fruitful weekend with errands, cleaning out my closet and the beginning of a major spring cleaning.

I want to live and experience life so am not going to let myself be held back by my fear of change and rejection.  So I donated a bunch of my clothes and items that I'm not using.  I'm happy that I forced myself to start to get rid of all the stuff that's around my neck like a anchor!

I've trying to not put myself on hold waiting for my life to 'begin'.  I have to live my life as it is right now since daydreams aren't cutting it!

So I'm going to email the guy I like and tell him I like him and ask him out (eeek!).  If he turns me down .. ah well at least I won't be paralyzed with fear of rejection and I'll KNOW what he thinks about me.  It's sort of funny but I was chatting with a man last night and he said just tell the guy that I like him.  Men aren't always good at reading clues/hints.

Wish me luck that it will work out for me.
