Movie Review: Paper Heart.


It is rare that I feel so moved by a movie that I choose to devote an entire blog post to that movie. This movie: Paper Heart. It was one of those movies that could either be really good or really terrible. It's a half documentary, half fake (but somewhat true) love story. The movie's main star is Charlyne Yi. She made me laugh out loud. I don't think I have laughed out loud during a movie (a genuine chuckle) since Little Miss Sunshine. It also has Michael Cera (the dude from Juno). They are awkward together but adorable. I just loved the simplicity of the movie, but also the clever way they incorporated the documentary feel with the fabricated love story.
The best part? Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi are a real life couple. Or so they say. After a quick google search of their names, I found that they may or (may not have) broken up. That also may (or may not have been) a publicity stunt according to the celebrity gossip website I read. Either way, I believed it. See this movie. It's not your typical love story, crycry, happily ever after, romantic comedy (although it is romantic and a comedy). It's just good stuff. The End.

Day Fifteen (I....think?)

I've lost count of what day I'm on. The challenge right now is my Facebook free life is that people keep talking about it! If I don't hear the word Facebook, I'm not concerned. If someone mentions that Suzie May posted some crazy shiz on Johnny Mac's wall, I'm all thinking about what I'm missing. And that's stupid folks. I feel a little out of the loop is all.

2 weeks and 2 days until I'm in this place.
And the happiest place on Earth...
Caaaaaaaaaaan't wait to see this beautiful face LIVE!
Ah, vacation. How sweet the sound.

Day Eleven.

Today is Day Eleven of this no Facebook journey. I am finding myself thinking about it more and more when I'm on my computer just checking email. Also, I learned that the 40 days of Lent does NOT count Sundays. SO technically I could be a big Cheater McSister and get on Facebook on Sundays. Alas, I will not. I feel like it qould not be as big of an accomplishment if I went 40 days sans Sundays. That's like winning the Home Run Derby on steroids. There would forever be an asterisk beside my name in the Facebook Hall of Fame.

With my extra time not being on Facebook, I am working on a couple of DIY projects. One is an ongoing scarf that seems to be never ending. The other is a home decor project. The last one is a gift for someone.

I shall post photos when I finish all!
