Grey's Posters

So this year, Grey's started a campaign to have its fans choose the artwork for their new season. The artwork is one of my favorite parts of the new Fall season. Below are the three I chose. Pretty sure the one with all the cast members will win. It had the most votes. However, something about the closeup of McDreamy is really sexy. And I haven't thought he was sexy in a while. Haha.

9/02/10 Day

Yes, you read correctly...Tomorrow is 9/02/10 also known as "90210 Day". At least that is what die hard Brandon Walsh groupies are calling it. It only comes around once in a lifetime, so let's start celebrating. I, for one, cannot recall as many plot lines or catchy one-liners as I could if it were Saved By the Bell Day. But, I can make a few references from the show that should trigger a few happy childhood memories. Please let me know your favorite moments from America's Favorite Zip code.
#1. Brenda and Dylan

#2 Brenda and Kelly's on going feud - specifically Brenda's suggestive whore comment to Kelly "If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck..."  I think Kelly slapped her, but can't remember.
#3 Emily Valentine - her relationship with Brandon and her singing "Breaking up is hard to do".
#4 Donna's virginity - enough said
#5 David's friend who shot himself
#6 The theme song - no words, but you can sing it...you probably are right now

#7 The Peach Pit - only diner more famous than The Max
#8 Andrea's love for Brandon, Brandon's love for Kelly, Kelly's love for Dylan, Dylan's love for Brenda, Brenda's love for herself
#9 Kelly's mom's addiction
#10 Prom Night - Dylan and Brenda sleep together
#11 Steve taking steriods
#12 Kelly's mom marries David's dad
#13 Dylan's father's death - car bombing I believe

Ok, your turn...go!!

MY BOYS & Life's Underrated Pleasures

This week's episode of My Boys brought to light a fantastic topic of discussion...Life's Underrated Pleasures. Their cast of characters chimed in with their list: Stephanie - a well organized closet (Agreed). Bobby - Eggs for Dinner (Very Much Agreed). PJ - Diving in to a perfectly still pool (Eh. That one's weak). Mike - A warm toilet seat (obviously a bad joke). So, without further adieu and without too much thought, here are David's and my list of underrated pleasures. Please chime in.

Me: A Color Me Bad song on the radio - I understand this one will be disputed, but I heard one today and it reminded me of Paula Abdul music videos, New Kids on the Block sweaters and boys wearing Gravity cologne...also known as my childhood.

David: Cold pillows - settling down for the night after a long day of work and the bed and pillows are crisp and cold.

Me: Leaving a delicious dinner without being too full - actually being able to enjoy the rest of your evening, have a cocktail and not want to immediately throw up or go to bed is underrated and rarely experienced.

David: Walking outside and seeing the Times Pic on the front lawn. Great way to start a Sunday. Shortly followed by a 12 'clock Saints game in the Dome.

Me: Gnocchi - All of it. Any kind. I only first sampled gnocchi about a year and a half ago at La Boca in the warehouse district. It was pure heaven. My expectation and love for gnocchi skyrocketed after a meal in Napa Valley at a restaurant by the name of Redd. The idea that I have lived 26 years and never tried gnocchi is unfathomable to me.

David: Using a brand new razor.

Me: Coming home to a house that has been cleaned by your spouse - this has only happened once or twice, but it is pure joy. Any guys reading this, I seriously recommend.

MOVIE REVIEW: Eat Pray Love

This weekend, after David's knee surgery and a broken AC unit at my house (yes it feels like 107 degrees outside, so a broken AC is basically torture), I ventured to the movies with my sister and mother in law. They are great company for chick flicks. We took in a 2pm showing of Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love, the much anticipated Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir-to-movie production. First of all, I didn't read the book. Honestly, I didn't read it because it was too hyped. My feelings toward EPL were similar to many people's feelings toward Twilight. However, I wanted to see the movie. I love Julia Roberts, why wouldn't I? In the weeks leading to its release, I read an article in Entertainment Weekly about women's backlash toward the author. Women were infuriated that the main character, Liz, would leave her husband simply because she was "unhappy". They thought she was a whiny, self-centered brat who needed to talk to someone with real problems. Why should she? This is a book of HER life. She was unhappy, she left. Men do it everyday. Why did she need a reason to leave her husband? Would we all feel better if he cheated on her and she stormed out the door in a soul-searching quest for herself only to find love in the arms of another man? Am I a fan of the way she leaves her marriage? No. Would I beat the crap out of someone for doing the same to me? Sure. But why the hate? Its a portrait of her life. A story of her mistakes, her triumphs, her heart aches. If you don't like it, write your own book about how great you are. Sorry, just needed to vent about the double standard...it drives me nuts. As far as the movie, I enjoyed it. I picked up a few things along the way too. (By the way, none of these are life changing or anything you haven't heard before, they are just refreshers). Number 1: Life is not perfect. It is often messy and miserable. There are spots of sunshine along the way, but dark clouds are always around the corner. You will break hearts and people will break yours. But at the end of day, if you have love, any kind of love, you will find happiness. Number 2: Live your life. Take time to relax. Take time to enjoy things around you. Most of all, take time to enjoy the sweetness of doing nothing. Or in Italian "il dolce far niente". We are often so busy with schedules, blackberries, jobs, kids, meetings, blah blah blah. Just take a minute, a day, a week or even a year to enjoy everything in life. Friends, family, food, a good book, a good blog (haha) or just laying in bed staring at the ceiling. Life really is good and it has so much to offer you. Movie Grade: B+
