Random Thoughts

We saw The Good Shepherd today which I can summarize with these two words: LONG and BORING! I have nothing else to say about. This was more dry than the acting in Miami Vice. Wish we would have seen Blood Diamond or Casino Royale.

I'm almost done with the fifth book of Harry Potter and things certainly have taken a drastically dark turn. It's not the fun, carefree, everything is going to be okay Harry Potter of the first few books. With age comes responsibility. I think the denial of that is why I am not enjoying this book as well. I will be excited to see how all of this ends however.

Last night's television on New Years Eve was interesting. Fox of course took the route of taking all the class out of the event which I expected. But then again, Dick Clark could barely speak because of his stroke a few years ago. I know this guy has been doing it for a long time but I wonder when it will be time to call it a day. Christina Aguilara's performance was interesting. My favorite of her lyrics were as follows:

"He's a one stop jive, makes my panties drop"
"He's a one stop jive, makes my cherry pop"
"He's a one stop jive with a real big *uh*"

Pure class! That's all I can say. But then again, her competition (Brittney) passed out in Las Vegas and had to be carried out of the club. Tough year for celebrities!

Whoa! PG-13!!
:)

We tuned in just in time to see ryan Seacrest try to kiss Christina at midnight and get totally denied. He went in for the lips and got the head-turn/cheek.
very funny....

yeah, it was pretty dirty. I did catch Seacrest trying to kiss Christina. That was pretty funny. What was more funny was that they had her up there to talk and Ryan couldn't get a word out of her. She just giggled once in a while but had absolutely nothing to say. What a shocker!

what killed me is that the ladies in our group scoffed at the guys for watching south park instead of animatronic dick, but they couldn't get enough of the "one stop shop for the real big _ _ _ _."

hypocrites.

I must say that I LOVED Casino Royale. I avoided the Good Shepherd due to the cast. It's hard for me to believe that Alec Baldwin, Matt Damon, and Angelina Jolie will provide a fair and unbiased story about the (gasp!) CIA.
Your thoughts on Book 5 are exactly mine as well. I missed the carefree moments at the Burrow and Hogwarts. Book 6 was by far my least favorite of the series due to this and a couple of other reasons (having little to do with plot points).
Still sorry you guys moved to Portland I must say. Not one of my highlights of 2006!
