It's not noice and it's not really unyewsyuall

I finally watched the first two episodes of the US version of Kath & Kim and I have to say - what a disappointment. It really was lacking in yumor and I can totally see why 7 axed it after two weeks. It just wasn't funny. I know that the original creaters went over and helped produce the show but it seems like they lost 'it', whatever that may be. Kim wasn't ocker enough and she's not supposed to be good looking, she needed to be more 'trailer park'. Kath just reminded me of Peggy Bundy from 'Married with Children'. Although I must admit her workout outfit did get me cracking a smile. I thought I'd get a laugh out of the show, even comparing it with the original, because I don't usually get bothered by the whole remake thing, but it wasn't funny. The characters/timing just seemed off. So I guess I'll just have to stick to the original version, skipping the movie and last season because they weren't really that funny.


On the plus side I watched 'Doomsday' with Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Malcolm McDowell etc. I really enjoyed it, super gory but I started watching this thinking that it was a zombie movie, preparing to be scared, but wasn't, there are a couple of jumpy outy bits, but you kinda know they're going to happen so you're prepared for it. The grossness factor is right up there though...ewwww is all I can say, there's exploding bits and medium rare long pig, it's all a little icky. This is from the guy (Neil Marshall), who did Dog Soldiers and The Descent, both of which I liked. I was well chuffed that the guy from Dog Soldiers (Darren Morfitt) was in it and he didn't die - yay! I think this had caught a lot of flack for not being very original and I have to say I kept on waiting for Tina Turner to pop out and start singing 'We don't need another hero', I could see heaps of other movies as I was watching - Mad Max, Resident Evil, 28 Days Later, Underworld, but I didn't really care, I was having a ball. Rhona Mitra's character (Mjr. Eden Sinclair), has a glass eye which she uses to her advantage and is pretty nifty and I must say - I feel very sorry for the poor bunny :( Overall, I didn't care that it didn't have fantastic dialogue and that it wasn't completely original, cause seriously - how can any movie be 100% original? I had fun, lmao, cringed and it had a hot boy, so I was happy :)

Okay that's enough of my opinion for the day, it's off to book group for me, enjoy your day.

Happy Halloween

I thought I'd quickly post something since I've finally finished all my uni stuff for the semester, 'cept now I've gone and done it!! I've signed up for a summer class as well as my usual subjects for next year, I'm figure that way, I'll only have my 2 electives, professional placements & my non library majors to do. Yay!! Still think I'm a dickhead for doing it tho...but hey, I never said I was the sharpest tool in the shed, lol.

Not much has been happenin' lately, I've just experienced tonsilitis in all it's glass swallowing, throat shredding, OMG I'm going to DIE glory!! (Yes, I can be like a man when I'm sick). Definately don't want to do that again, it wasn't any fun at all :( Even better it came just when I was doing my final essays for uni, let me tell ya, delerium doesn't really help when you're trying to write an essay.


Anyway, this weekend, I've looking after Rustyn, taking him to the Farmers Market & swimming so it should be fun, I don't have a picture of my poppie on here yet, so here's Rustyn Dean, the apple of my eye :) Very cute!! He's learnt throw a ball now, so that's also what I'll be doing.

If I'm lucky, I might get to watch the end of the 2nd season of Big Love, which I'm finding soooo funny. I'm enjoying this season even more, hopefully the next season won't take too long to get here. For those who don't know what Big Love is, here's a quick run down:

Big Love centres around a polygamist Bill Paxton (Bill), and his relationship with the three wives, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn (Barb), Chloe Sevigny (Nikki) and Ginnifer Goodwin (Margie). Each wife has a house, which they live in with their kids, 8 in total, with Bill taking turns to visit them. Along the way there's run ins with the polygamists at the Juniper Creek compound and they all struggle to hide their secret life. I've really enjoyed the show, it's funny and really well written. I think it deals with the polygamy issue well. Obviously the compound is how most people view polygamy, but Bill and his family life in the 'burbs, so their life and situation is a bit different, but I suppose the values are still the same. The two eldest kids are great, both struggle with their life and the beliefs of their parents, not something that they both necessarily believe in I guess. Anyway I likes it. Check out the link to the page on IMDB, that way you can explore it for yourself, yes I'm being lazy, but hey it's Friday, I get to be :p http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421030/

Anyway, I've prattled on for long enough, it's nearly 9pm and I've still gotta go do my other job, so not looking forward to it, but if I do it tonight, I have the rest of the weekend to myself, just have to keep telling myself that :) and then I have to hunt out my work books for the subject I'm doing over summer, that way I can see just what it is exactly what I've gotten myself into. Hmmm...more likely I'll get home, be too tired and end up either watching crappy tv or starting Breaking Dawn, which I've been oh so good and not started unitl I finished my essays. But what I should do is find work books, find work books, (trying to hypnotise myself or something), So enthused, so ENTHUSED!! You can feel it can't you, yeah baby, I'll give you something to feel...hehehe...yeah, nothing like a little bit of gratuitious half naked hot boy to start the week end off and he is very pretty, I'd even make a half assed attempt to be interested in football if he asked me too. I'm such a sucker for a hot boy...anyway enjoy the hotness, enjoy your weekend, have a Happy Halloween, hope y'all get lots of booty and not crappy dental hygene products, cause seriously, what's that shit all about?

P.S: Let's just for a minute, take time to truly appriciate the hotness...and appreciate...and appreciate...ohh so HOT!! :p

alas there's no bounty for you!

Sadly, Dani forgot to tape Dog the bounty hunter for me, so now I have to wait until next week to watch it and tell y'all just what I think. I'm pretty sure I'm going to loves it tho - there was a review in this weeks TV guide and there he was in all his 'glorious' manhood - black leather, bare chest & mullet blowing in the wind. Hmmm...methinks it'll be pure gold!! :)

Stay tuned...
