Review of Untraceable

Okay so I love going to movies and I wasn't interested in untraceable until I saw a pretty good trailer for it. I read lots of reviews saying it was not even worth 2 stars out of 5. But I usually don't agree with critics - especially anyone that liked Fargo or Kill Bill so off we went to the theater on Sunday night.

When will the writers strike end?!?!

I thought the movie was pretty entertaining up until the end... when you think - come on! Look in the backseat like most human beings in your situation! So I don't think I would give it 2 stars but maybe 4 stars. It was entertaining.

The worst part of the movie - the jackass's sitting behind me comment and reiterating everything in the movie. I really thought I was going to loose it. I turned around once trying to give them the idea - shut the F$ck up but they didn't care. The quietest they were was when they answered their cell phones. The were three black teenagers with an attitude. At the end when the FBI agent survives being killed they yelled out for her to die... I wanted to take a billy bat to them. Oops, that isn't politically correct - whatever I would say the same thing to three white teenagers annoying me... but I didn't say a thing and neither did Mr. Spaghettibender - what was most surprising.

So all in all the movie experience that night sucked! I didn't pay $10 a ticket to be annoyed by three teenagers. Damn Sunday night!

David Suzuki


Would have liked to have heard his lecture last night at Ottawa U but Mr. Spaghettibender only got a ticket for himself. "I didn't think you'd want to go!" Why not ask me before buying the ticket!

I am trying to become more environmentally aware. I believe that every little bit helps so I try to do my part. I didn't run the snowblower the other day but instead shovelled the snow. Really, unless it is tons of sticky wet snow I'm sure we can handle it - we aren't 80 or anything.

Next thing I really want to do is buy environmentally friendly cleaning products. I work in a lab so I don't want to be dealing with chemicals when I go home too.

I heard there was some good one called Method that you can buy at Shoppers drug mart but then I hear that the countertop cleaner leaves a soapy residue and the same thing about the bathroom cleaners. Hum, maybe I can find a website out there that rates these products... lets go check.

Where does the time go?

I can't believe we are already the 22 of January. Where the hell did the month go.

My newest goal. To get a basal thermometer and start charting my temperature. I know it seems silly but I just want to know what is going on with me before we start trying to have a baby. My periods, I thought were become more predictable at 45days but - nah! So if I can understand when I might be ovulating that might make me feel less stressed.

It is strange to hear me take about having kids. I never ever saw myself with kids. I saw myself with pets but not kids. But whenever I picture Christmas I always picture having kids. So at some point this year we will start trying to have kids.

I am looking forward to getting pregnant and then making a must-complete-list for Mr. Spaghettibender. One in which I can't help him with since I am pregnant. Hee, hee, hee. I am so evil. But come-on I am so tired of renovations. I would rather save up the money and pay someone else to do it. I just don't want to do anymore sanding or drywall or painting.

Okay but I want to decorate a babies room. The bedroom we would use is screaming out to be decorated. I love anything I can do around a theme =)

Not that bad

I think me thinking that a Destination Wedding vacation with some of our friends was going to be horrific made the vacation better. Starting at the bottom meant there was nowhere to go but up.

So we had a pretty good time with our friends in Punta Cana. Although we never got a real chance to relax. There was just always something to do or someone to talk to. So now we are paying for it. I barely make it through the work day. I am so tired. Now it could be the lack of sunlight compared to the overindulgence we became accustom to but I doubt that.

So now I have to get back into the swing of things again... but honestly, I still too tired.

thanks for the memories!

Wow, another year bits the dust. Usually on New Years I like to think about what has been going on in my life and what is to come but ... this year I was too drunk! Honestly I don't even remember it hitting midnight. I am going to assume I kissed my husband but truthfully I can't remember. = )

Let see what has been going on in our lives this last year. Actually this year was rather busy. I was a maid of honour in my best friends Wedding so that took up a lot of my time. Mr. Spaghettibender got laid off but was already enrolled in University so that wasn't such a big deal, him going to University was. And I started a new job. Sure there was other little events here and there but that tops the list.

Now I have 3 days to go until we go away for our first ever destination wedding. I would love to take a day off to rest up but does that really make any sense to rest up for a vacation?

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Well it is that time of year again. Lots of presents, lots of food, lots of drinking... but I am happy to say that I'm barely partaking in any of it. I have a ridiculous confession to make. We workout out on Christmas Day. How sad are we?! Hey I only have... checking countdown calendar... 7 days until we are off to Punta Cana. I will not be anywhere near the weight I wanted but there is really nothing I can do know but keep focused on not gaining weight until then.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season.

I hope everyone has made plans for New Years Eve. I asked Mr. Spaghettibender what he wanted to do this year. He wanted to spend it with his family. Which I was okay with. Because when we make plans with my best friend things always fall through and it ends up just being the 4 of us. Which I don't mind but I wanted a bit more of a gathering this year. Well now I am longing for the idea of being with my best friend for New Years. So I call her to see if they have made any plans, well they have there is like 10 people coming over to their house. So now I'm jealous and I really want to go. She asked what we're doing and I say that I'm not sure since Mr Spaghettibender is not feeling the whole family New Years this year. I was kinda hoping she would invite us over - silence. Now I'm a bit disappointed and kinda bummed about spending New Years with Mr. Spaghettibenders family. I assume since she didn't invite us to come over that she doesn't want us there. I know she was feeling like there was a lot of people already going over so I'm sure that is why she didn't ask or she is trying to prove a point because we didn't want to get together with them.

Whatever I will try and have a good time either way. That night I WILL drink... but I'll workout more before hand = )

I am legend

Yep, I got dragged to see I am Legend with Will Smith. Now normally I like Will Smith movies but I'm just not into zombie... sorry they aren't zombie's as Mr. Spaghettibender wants to remind me... they are mutated humans. So anyways I didn't want to see a movie with mutated Humans trying to eat Will Smith but what do I know.

So Mr. Spaghettibender drags me to the movie saying it is going to be good, you'll see. Yeah, it sucked! He still holds his ground saying it was good but honestly - it sucked! Why on gawds green earth do I have to watch crappy movies with my husband. Don't get me wrong I love watching movies and it does happen that I can pick some pretty bad ones but honestly what movie with zombies or mutated humans has even been done well.

So in retaliation I am dragging him to see National Treasure : Book of Secrets after work tonight. Lets hope this one isn't a dud or I won't hear the end of it.
