If you stop by the MacLachlan household, you will now see that we have some furniture in our front room. The couch and chairs are compliments of Melinda’s grandparents and because her Dad didn’t have any more room at his house. The dining room table and hutch are compliments of my Dad. Now, where can I put the Bowflex? I guess it will have to go to the basement. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, a very special thanks goes to Billy and Brian for helping me to move the dining room furniture from Saline!
This weekend was a movie watching weekend at our house. We had a chance to check out four movies, Paparazzi, Mean Girls, The Village and iRobot. With the exception of The Village, I enjoyed all of the movies. I didn’t expect much from Paparazzi and Melinda and I both were pleasantly surprised. It had action, a couple of twists and two cameos. All in all, it was enjoyable.
Mean Girls was pretty funny. I didn’t really expect more than some juvenile laughs and this movie didn’t disappoint. It took me back to the day of the funny teen movie. For those of you who didn’t know, the brunette who played Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert) was the same girl who played Claudia Salinger in Party of Five. After Brian made a comment about how hot she was, I told him that she was the little girl in Party of Five and he couldn’t believe it.
The Village held so much promise for me. Melinda wouldn’t even watch it because it looked too scary. Wow, her perception of this movie couldn’t have been more off. After watching this flaming pile of dog doo, I can’t believe that it came from the same guy who did Signs, Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. Those movies were good, but this one was terrible. DO NOT see this movie. It was terrible. Not scary, the monster was stupid (If you watch the movie, you will see how stupid), and even a twist at the end couldn’t help.
The kids and I watched iRobot yesterday and even though I saw it this summer, it was still enjoyable the second time. Now, if you are a Will Smith fan, you need to see this movie. It really wasn’t as good as some of his other summer blockbusters, but he has his customary one-liners and action sequences. On the 55” beast, this movie was visually awesome!!!

Not to come off as the blog police or anything.. ;)
But have you noticed that of your previous articles that the majority are punctuated with !!! at the end?
Just an observation, not a rip.. ;) You just seem to be excited about posting in your blog... LOL.
Dude, I am just excited about a lot of things this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris says to pass along that he is so glad we're staying with you for a couple days when we come up. He made the request for the American Idol game. I want to see this TV in action!!!!!!!! :)
We haven't actually played American Idol on the big TV, but I beat all the kids the other night to be the American Idol. We will definately play when you guys come.
Oh man! I didn't realize that was who played Gretchen Wieners! That's just sort of weird. =) But I do love that movie.... It really exceeded my expectations, as sad as that sounds.
I got to find American Idol for Gamecube. That was fun. I was very happy to watch two hours of auditions last night, since the DirecTv dude came out and hooked up our oval dish yesterday morning. Wahoo!
I did a quick search or a couple of places, Amazon, Gamestop and Best Buy and no luck finding American Idol for Game Cube. I did find it for Gameboy though.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to get something that can also support DDR--since I am a dancing queen, and all. Ha!
I think American Idol would bug the poo out of Billy, but then again, that's half of its charm!
