red chicken chili that simmered in the CP for 8 hours, and then disappeared at the cook off faster than anybody else's - hello! a hearty (get the chili reference?) shout out to big sis steph for the recipe. and a house full of babies. even though they aren't really babies anymore, they will always be age 2 and age 5 to me, like how patty thought i was 8 for like 4 years. it was an adventure, thats for sure.
and finally - colby's latest vid game and my latest pseudo crush: nate from "uncharted 2". i have always been a fan of watching vid games when they are clever and have a fun story, and this one is especially great because the hero has an a%# that doesn't quit! i mean, check out the jeans!! wrangler butts drive me nuts!!
due to my current under-the-weather status, i have spent much of this last week glued to a tv screen when my head isn't glued to a pillow. here are my recommendations, in no particular order, of how to occupy your time should you find yourself down with the swizine: 17 again - zcefron has the most delicious hair i have ever seen. and its not nearly as annoying as you think it will be. jan levenson-gould holds her own. the rocker - recommended by our bishop, believe it or not.
austrailia - long but worth it. beautifully filmed, plus hugh is delicious.
john adams from hbo - why haven't we heard more from abigail? she is the reason john was the way he was! very good portrayal of forward-thinking people. and david mccullough spoke at my graduation so there.
despereaux - and dont even laugh! its so cute and so sweet and the perfect story for girls.
adventureland - i heart jesse eisenberg. wow! kristen stewart is a good little actress!
and fired up - an irreverent response to 'bring it on'.
so last night, we were headed to see zombieland with a couple of friends (movie was AWESOME by the way) and i was grump-central because colby made us late and we missed every preview. something about having to kill a big beetle in an alternate reality called world of warcraft. and if you know me at all, theres nothing i love more than highly anticipated previews and making fun of ones that look totally sucky - so all in all, things not going so hot. when i voiced my complaint to colby, things went a little like this:
me: i cant believe we are missing the previews! its the best part about paying 8 bucks to see a movie - knowing what will suck before the dollar-theater-goers.
colby: well, they won't show the twilight preview, anyway.
(long silence while i contemplate that and colby no doubt thought about $5 popcorn)
me: what do you mean they won't show the twilight preview? who said anything about the twilight preview? its a freaking zombie show - thats like saying 'well, they won't show the princess and the frog preview'.
colby: didn't you say twilight?
me: no.
colby: oh. im pretty sure you did.
and im pretty sure he likes twilight as much as any giggly, blushing girl but will never admit to daydreaming about jacob black - his latest object of admiration.
so anyways, this brief clip is for him. and you can enjoy it too.
