I've Been A Lazy Ass, Couch Potato...

And it's been AWESOME!

For the past week, give or take a few days last week when I had to go to work and minus the "John Wayne Marathon" J insisted on watching, I've had the pleasure of doing a whole lot of nothing, except napping and catching up on some movie watching. I can honestly say, my chair has a whole new butt groove than wasn't there a week ago. The groove may or may not have something to do with my ass and it's added junk in the trunk that has been acquired during the holiday season, but I digress...

Here is a sampling (in no particular order)...

  • The Hangover - OMG! This is the funniest movie I have watched in a long time (or perhaps ever). It's certainly not rated "E" for everyone and I think I may have learned a few new swear words along the way...
  • Up - I can watch pretty much any animated movie and be entertained. I won't go into details, but during the first 5 minutes I was about to give up on it because it was so sad. In my opinion, an animated movie SHOULD NOT bring you to tears...
  • Knowing - This one starred Nicolas Cage and certainly wasn't an Oscar contender (not that any of his movies are), but he entertains me nonetheless. This one had an interesting spin to it and could of been a good movie if it wasn't for the hokey ending.
  • Confessions of a Shopaholic - I never thought I would admit this in public, but I actually read the series and they were better.
  • The Proposal - What can I say? I love Sandra Bullock (yes, perhaps in that kind of way) and Betty White (no, NOT in that kind of way) steals the show. Ryan Reynolds is cute, but certainly not as cute as Sandra Bullock.
  • Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian - It wasn't as good as the first, but I was entertained for a couple of hours.
  • Star Trek - I'm NOT a trekkie, but didn't need to be since in explained everything that I needed to know.
I know there were more, but I can't for the life of me recall them - perhaps it's because I've been sitting on my ass for so long, my brain has turned to mush (kind of like my ass)... Thank goodness, I didn't make a resolution to do anything about it or I'd be feeling pretty guilty...

Hi Dive Girl. Thanks for your comment on my post. Spending your holidays watching movies is quite okay though. I spent mine by sitting in front of my PC, surfing randomly..seeking info.. bla.. bla.. it's boring though. Got nothing else to do other than this.

Omg I know...like I almost cried watching the first few minutes of Up. I was like wth? I thought this was supposed to a happy movie. I liked Star Trek though even though I didn't know much about the originals.

I was lazy all weekend and loved it. Also...

The Hangover - AMAZING
Confessions of a Shopaholic - I'm with you, I read the books a while ago and felt dumb as a bag of hammers watching the movie.
The Proposal - God I love Ryan Reynolds. Good flick.
Star Trek - Loved. And I'm definitely not a trekkie.

Good movies.

Isn't it great? I just wish I didn't have to get back to reality tomorrow! I missed the John Wayne marathon, but I made sure I watched plenty of the Three Stooges marathon on AMC.

I STILL need to see The Hangover and while I loved UP, I agree that the first 5 minutes were crazy sad and not fitting for animation!

Confessions of a Shopaholic - the movie must have REALLY sucked because the books were crap! (in my worthless opinion anyway)

I watched Public Enemies. It wasn't nearly as good as it should have been!

Hey, hey, hey! Lay off the John Wayne--I love him!

The only one I've seen off your list was The Proposal. Hilarious! "To the windowwwwwww! To the wall!"

I watched Hangover with my two older daughters. At first I was reluctant, saying I didn't want to watch a movie about things that I used to do, and thought I forgot about. Well, except for Mike Tyson, a tiger, and misplacing a groom, yep, sigh, did that!

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
