I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week

Listening to: Carla Bruni, "Quelqu'un m'a dit (Someone Told Me)." Wow talk about being late to the party. I've been wondering what this track was since it comes up when I hit my 500 Days of Summer playlist and everytime I'm like "Man this is good." Imagine my surprise when I dig this Carla Bruni and find out she's married to the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy. Where was I when this happened? Bruni's a model, singer, soon to be actress,...

10 Things I Wear Around You

Listening to: The Fratellis, "Whistle For The Choir." I have huge problems remembering song lyrics (I'm not an audio learner).

Still, it's Alice in Wonderland right?Overall, I thought the movie was enjoyable -- and not as bad as I feared or as great as I hoped. The story continues...

Step Up (2006)

The first in my new running series of dance movie reviews, Step Up was definitely a huge hit, spawning a sequel and grossing $114 million from a budget of twelve million. That's a huge reason there are so many dance movies; they're dirt cheap to make and can rake in the bucks. On with the show.After a thorough web search through local Target, Circuit City, and Wal-Marts, we were reduced to renting Step Up from Blockbuster. I had to start an account...
