Super Bowl Weekend ends in 30 minutes…….
While Robert is in Vegas for his annual Super Bowl fun, that means I had the big TV all to myself, I mean…….after Meadow goes to bed and I can turn off Wizards of Waverly and SpongeBob. Since I’ve spent well over $100 at the movie theater the past couple weeks, I decided to rent this weekend and buy a bag of popcorn from Target for $1.00.
As much as I didn’t want to do it, I saw Avatar in 3-D last weekend, and I hate to admit it, but I really liked it. I didn’t love it, like I’m depressed I can’t live in Pandora loved it – just liked it.
I did watch a little bit of the Super Bowl, kept it on the bedroom TV, so I could see what was going on while I was moving about. So happy for NOLA – it will be fun to make it back there this year!
Here is what I watched this weekend…
Netflix brought Paper Heart – Savannah watched it twice, I caught some of it while hee-hawing around the house, it didn’t grab me, it’s a mockumentary and it’s back in it’s return envelope. Next in my queue: Teeth (part of the plot summary……..Dawn discovers she has a toothed vagina when she becomes the object of violence).
Caught Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Saturday afternoon and it was the first time I watched the whole thing through, I forget how completely stunningly beautiful Marilyn Monroe was. Made Savannah watch some of it, she has never seen a Marilyn Monroe movie, only seen her in print.
Death at a Funeral (2007 British version) – This was SOOOO GOOD, I loved every moment of it. I don’t want to see the American version coming out now, afraid Chris Rock will be cinema suicide for this remake. Peter Dinklage is the little person in both movies – I guess he’s the go-to little person in Hollywood, he was soo good in Nip/Tuck!
Dim Sum Funeral – I definitely have an affection for Asian flavored movies, but if I would have known Bai Ling was in this, I probably wouldn’t have rented it, but they tricked me. It wasn’t a great movie, but it was interesting to learn about Chinese culture and their traditional Chinese burial traditions. Of course being fascinated with death culture, I had to Google it to learn more about it – very interesting!
The Queen – Always wanted to see this, but always forget I want to see it, so I finally remembered this time. Super GILF Helen Mirren played Queen Elizabeth II. I liked how they sprinkled a lot of real Princess Diana footage in the film, although it was a little eerie and sad. I never had an opinion of Queen Elizabeth II and wonder what she thought of the film, I personally think she’s a bad ass.
I really want to visit London sometime soon! Aisleyne, did you hear me?
Smitty is the Shizz!

Beauty Product Review
My review of these two Laura Geller Cosmetics products:
This sh*t is BANANAS!
I have been wanting to try this Spackle for a long time, I heard and read good things about it, and I just like the name of it, but my local Sephora never had it in stock, so I had to ask Santa Claus for it, because he always comes through.
The description of a “perfect canvas” sold me, I’ll try anything to delay my Botox plans! My skin had a noticeably smooth feeling after applying the Spackle, then I applied the Phenomenal Foundation (Light). Then I used MAC Blot Powder (Light) to finish it off.
My make-up was pretty much PERFECT all day with nearly zero touch-up’s!!
I keep an 8 x 10 mirror on my desk at work so I’m ready for an emergency hair brushing, a quick make-up touch-up and also so I have someone to talk to. Usually by 3pm, my usual foundation would be caking or looking shiny. I was VERY IMPRESSED with these products!
I WISH I would have taken a picture of myself today at 9am, Noon, 3pm & 6pm – maybe I will tomorrow if I can remember.

Ride a What!?
Soo, I’m relaxing in the children’s section of Barnes & Noble….and I’m looking at a Nursery Rhyme book and stumbled upon this nursery rhyme – what the hey is a cockhorse exactly??
Picture is a little blurry, but here it is:
Ride a Cockhorse
Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse.
Rings on her fingers,
And bells on her toes,
She shall have music,
Wherever she goes.
Innocent enough I guess….
Then I pick up a book about Dogs, and it has a page where it says “All dogs poop” and “All dogs pee” along with an illustration – nice, huh?
Guess we’ll stick with the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series for now!
Meadow loves this guy!
Anybody work at Barnes & Noble? I want this stand up for my house!

As someone who practically studied and knows every word to Clueless……
Tai: Cher, I don’t want to do this anymore. And my buns: they don’t feel nothin’ like steel.
I’m still stunned about Brittany Murphy’s death. My first go-to source for breaking celebrity news is always TMZ.com and it said cause of death was cardic arrest. My first thought was maybe it could have been anorexia induced, since she has been rail thin for years. Her husband is an alleged con-man, and now he is opposing the autopsy……sounds fishy!
Perez Hilton was the first to suspect drug use:
“Actress Brittany Murphy passed away on Sunday morning in Los Angeles at the age of 32. People just don’t typically die at 32 of natural causes!!!!!!! Absolutely devastating. Especially because this comes as no surprise! We, and those who knew Brittany personally, saw this coming. That does not make this any less horrible. Murphy reportedly went into full cardiac arrest and her husband, Simon Monjack, mom immediately called paramedics to save his wife. Murphy was announced dead on arrival at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after paramedics and doctors could not revive the 8 Mile actress. Our thoughts are with her family and friends during this extremely difficult time. Lindsay Lohan and Courtney Love take note: that could have been YOU!”
So this story could get more interesting as more details emerge, and even though I suspect it could be drug related, I’m hoping it’s not.
RIP
UK Daily Mail has the best photos – they also mention drug use:
