Dinner the other night, my first meal that I prepared since Joy and I moved in. (I know, it’s so wrong of me, but she’s an awesome cook and I started to get the itch to prepare…) This is also the first time I used the community grills as well. Not knowing what to expect, I purchased Ready-light charcoal, matches, and some thin sirloin steaks. We get to the grills and it’s a gas / Charcoal hybrid! SHWEEET! So the grill took about 10 minutes to get to the proper temperature and cooking took another 5-10 (I don’t remember, I think it was closer to 10…). The best part about that evening? We just received the Ice Cream maker from our friend in Vancouver / hawaii! Everything turned out perfect. I got props from Joy and the ice cream we made was perfect.
Last night we made our trek to IKEA for a dining table because a) The one we REALLLLLY wanted has been sold out for over a month now and noone has a clue when more are coming in, and b) We would like to be entertaining soon and c) we’re about ready to give up on the one we wanted, the Bjursta in the round form, and we think we found the one that can replace it. And this is the Bjursta we got! Not only does it fold out, but it can extend to just the length we need! I can’t wait to build it! Looks labor intensive. Of course, pics will follow. Among the things we got, we got a nice potpourri (this will be the only time you hear me praise it…) package and a few bamboo plates. When Joy placed them on the plates, it was the perfect decoration.
Anyways, it’s almost quitting time. laters, y’all!

How could I forget to write a review about the funniest movie in a long time?? If you’re thinking it’s a family movie, no. Don’t even try. It’s teenage humor, but there’s a strong chance that parents will hate it with a passion. I know mine will. I’ve even told them that. That’s besides the point.
The movie is based around Seth’s and Evan’s final days of High school before parting ways for college. In their shy and fanatical way, they manage to get invited to the last big party of the school by their classmate crushes. While planning for the party, their cohort, Fogell, manages to get a fake ID who changes his name to “McLovin” like Prince or Madonna. If that’s not enough to bring you to the show, the current ‘it’-comedy player, Seth Rogen as 1 of a pair of officers take Fogell around town showing him how they do their police work, which isn’t that great of a job to begin with.
Between the creepy liquor store guy and the need to return with a product that bears similarity to goldschlager, Seth and Evan find themselves in more Hollywood-like situations that they try to weasel out of, in classic comedy ways. All for the need to get laid. Afterall, what teenage quasi-hipster doesn’t think that? (No comments about Emo, kthanks…)
I loved every moment of this movie. Before seeing the movie, I read some preliminary reviews where people said there was “irrevalant” scenes, I tend to agree on some, but for some reason, I think they were included to become the “phrase” to say at school now that school’s back in session (at least in AZ…). The only thing I see the middle-aged parents liking about this movie is the soundtrack. It’s got a bit of Funk, 90’s riffs, and classic rock that I doubt some of the intended audience knows much about to begin with. I’d definately see this again, and with that:
:):):):) - 4 smileys.

Joy and I recieved a few packages the other day. One I’m told is quite large the other oblong. We’ve been awaiting the arrival of her books and the Magic Bullet Blending system that her mom sent to us. This is what I thought it was, however it was descretely wrapped but I didn’t know for sure until I ripped apart the wrapping like a 5-year old at Christmas. Sure enough, that little box was the Bullet. So what did we make as the first product to be mixed? Well, nothing more than a frozen margarita. Here is the evidence:
Quick, dirty, and effecient. Like the box says, both glasses were ready in about 20 seconds. (10 for me, 10 for Joy 
) Just looking at the recipe list makes my mouth water. heh. Anyways, cheers y’all!

Overworked, jaded, and a little tired one mildly warm night, Joy and I decided to exploit the closeness that is Barnes and Noble in Keirland Shopping center. While Joy poked at some design magazines, I went on the hunt for this month’s “Mens Health” magazine. I figured it would be a good start to finding out anything to help my workouts that I have resumed. When I could not find the magazine, I asked Joy if she’s seen it. She starts asking me why I’m looking for a “metrosexual” magazine :p. Ignoring that comment slightly, I found my magazine. Further into the visit, we got a couple of books. I got the A+, Net+, and Security+ book from O’Rielly and Joy picked up Stardust. We made our way to the Starbucks inside with our books to bring back to the apartment.
“Go ahead and order. I don’t know what I want.”
Joy orders then asks, “What are you in the mood for?”
I looked at the coffee-less fraps and I could not decide between the double chocolate, the
hello again. It’s moving time for me. I’m moving out of my present arrangement and into a new apartment. It’s a thing of beauty too. The Legend at Keirland of Scottsdale. This is also a mark of the first time I’m going to be moving in with someone. To further that mark, I’m moving in with my girlfriend. It’ll be good, I know, but at the moment, it’s a lil’ nerve-wracking, especially since we walked through the place the other day (During a torrential downpour in Phoenix, thank god, I wouldn’t want to be driving during that.) and saw many many many things wrong with the place. The office says they will fix it, but we’ll see.
All the while, I’ve been sorting. I like to use sorting, others say ‘gutting,’ and even more say ‘Throw ALL THAT SH*T OUT!’ I wouldn’t say I’ve been a packrat, but I’ve collected a LOT of things over the 12 year span I’ve had in this city. So far, I’ve tossed 6 garbage bags worth of stuff, 7….maybe…8….donatable bags of clothes, & I still have about 20% left of the room to sort. What I found most surprising, and I’m not saying that I held onto these things for any apparent reason, but a holographic ruler from the 4th grade (and if you’re googling me and KNOW me from Roslyn-BHS, leave me a comment :P), and some hand-held ballbearing games (kinda like these, fits in your palm, and is not automated…), and of course, many many many books. The books will be donated to the local library (as soon as they put the donation bin out again…dunno what happened to it…) & the games have been distributed across my neices and nephew.
And the best part of the deal? My mom’s friends are giving me and my girlfriend a 52″ TV and a 3-person sofa-bed. Can you say ‘kick ass’?
In between sorting, packing, and sleeping, Joy and I went to the movies and saw the Simpsons Movie. It was hilarious! I was worried though. I haven’t watched the show in years because it stopped being funny and got more policial. The movie was cleaverly done. When asked about the quality, relating to the early years vs. recent years, I said it was mixed. The political didn’t overpower the comedy though. The animation was classic Simpsons style and thankfully no character that was not needed to be a simpsons geek was in it. The story was cute and I’m not really going to start researching this answer, but why did it take over 10 years for this movie to come out? This storyline was topical to today’s standards, but there were plenty of storylines they could have done years ago. But I’m not here to gripe about the movie, just praise it.
I’m trying to think of ways to describe this movie without giving too much away, but it’s all just flash images and whatnot (showing you that I should have written this on Friday night when we saw the bloody picture :p). So in short, I was thouroughly entertained, but I don’t forsee a sequel if this was the process needed to get 1 Simpsons movie on the silver screen. If there are, I’ll be ready.
Final score: :):):):)
Dinner the other night, my first meal that I prepared since Joy and I moved in. (I know, it’s so wrong of me, but she’s an awesome cook and I started to get the itch to prepare…) This is also the first time I used the community grills as well. Not knowing what to expect, I purchased Ready-light charcoal, matches, and some thin sirloin steaks. We get to the grills and it’s a gas / Charcoal hybrid! SHWEEET! So the grill took about 10 minutes to get to the proper temperature and cooking took another 5-10 (I don’t remember, I think it was closer to 10…). The best part about that evening? We just received the Ice Cream maker from our friend in Vancouver / hawaii! Everything turned out perfect. I got props from Joy and the ice cream we made was perfect.
