Pint Sized Whoop-A$$

Last night the hubby and I watched Kick-Ass on Netflix. I'd overlooked it more than a dozen times on the new movie listings while looking for something to watch. Thinking it was just not my style of flick. But last night the hubby decided that we were gonna watch it. I was reluctant and nearly retreated to the bedroom to read.

But I'm so glad I didn't because well....it kicked ass. What a great super hero movie. It was action packed, witty, silly, and touching in a weird kind of way. I'm NO fan of Nicholas Cage but his part wasn't that big in the grand scheme of the movie. And integral part, yes, but not on the screen a bunch. Which is good for me. He really annoys me.

The kids in the movie were great, however. I love Christopher Mintz-Plasse aka "McLovin". And Clark Duke who played the awkward nephew in Hot Tub Time Machine. I don't think I'd ever seen Aaron Johnson, the kid who played Kick-Ass, before but he's definitely a new geek crush.

Of course the real hero and shining star of this movie for me was Chloe Moretz who played Hit Girl. She was seriously badass. She could single-handedly open a can of whoop-ass on a dozen thugs and win.

If I ever were to have a superhero child, I'd want her to be as awesome as Hit Girl.

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
