The Blog Tribe Has Spoken

Thanks to everyone who helped me pick my shoes!

As it turns out, I like the ones that came in last. It rains here at least 8 months out of the year. A girl must be prepared with good solid shoes.

Hang in there guys, this post isn't all about shoes.

I have several pairs of Sketchers that I love so I purchased the Sketchers in brown (#1) and the Naturalizers in black (#3). Buy one, the second is half off, free shipping and $35 in rewards coupons. woohoo.

The guys are looking bored here....

The brown I wanted because I'm trying to lighten up on my abundance of black clothes and besides, I have a favorite brown purse. Purse and shoes must match, so la-dee-dah-dee-dah.

MUDD shoes are cute, but I went and tried them on in the store. They make my feet look like waffle irons. I already have a pair of black MUDDs with silver buckles tucked away in my closet, Mr. Coffee reminded me. I've worn them maybe two or three times and why I don't get rid of them is beyond me. I should just clean out the closet. If you are a size 10 in women's and love MUDDs with thick soles, let me know.

Are the guys totally glazed over by now?

PUSH UP BRA!

Okay, now I have everyone's attention......

(If you watch SCRUBS, I'm giving you an "Inside Joke Five, Yeah!")

I just caught wind of new Bond movie coming out next year. Bond 22. I like the Bond movies and really liked the last one but I had to watch it a couple times. It's been suggested that Hugh Laurie would make a fabulous Q, and I would agree, not taking from John Cleese's obvious talent to act and make one laugh.

I went to IMDB to find out more upcoming releases and found a Luc Besson film I have yet to see (trailer below). Angel-A is now on my radar. How I love a good foreign flick. Luc Besson was involved in two of my top three favorite movies: Wasabi and Transporter. He also directed Leon The Professional and introduced to the world a very young Natalie Portman.





I am so excited about The Golden Age. Cate Blanchett returns as an older Queen Elizabeth I. As I read and whole-heartedly agree, if Cate Blanchett doesn't get an Academy Award for this, heads should roll. It doesn't hurt that Clive Owen is in it either. I'm just saying....

I hadn't heard about The Golden Age with CB! That first movie in which she played Elizabeth I is an all-time fave of mine. A friend just recently gave me the DVD of it. I had the VCR tape for years. That's one of the few movies I saw at the theater. I'll see this one there, too. I was so disappointed when she didn't get the Oscar for that. I couldn't believe G. Paltrow got it for Shakespeare in Love.

How odd. I posted about shoes today, too.

Transporter I was cool, but that second one? Not so much. I really liked The Professional, too. We must compare lists of favorite movies sometime soon. I wonder how many more we have in common.

Elizabeth is a GREAT movie. She makes an incredible queen.

The second Transporter stunk. Nothing like the first, but Luc Besson did not direct it, this is why.

If you haven't seen Amelie, I say go see it NOW. It's that good. You would like Wasabi. Both have subtitles.

you're confusing me because the skechers are #2...???

*Scrubs High Five back atcha!*

I have so many daily JD moments, it's like we're connected in the fantasy life.

That sounded a lot less gay in my mind. ;)

doozie,
I'm speaking of the number of votes.

Did you say PUSH UP BRA?

Cause it sounded like you did. I voted for the middle shoes. That is what I do when I am not sure about something - go for the one in the middle. Like when I drink too much and I see three door knobs. The one in the middle is probably the real one.

Oh, I like Cate Blanchett. My husband has a crush on her, but only when she's Galadriel. I guess he likes pointy ears. ;-)

Love "the Todd" reference!

Glad you got the shoes you wanted. :)

I'm so a size 10..how much do you want for the shoes??? I could use a new pair of black, seriously.

I am ready for the new Bond movie...and I think you're right about Hugh Laurie.

R said...

I have seen two BBC or something movies about Elizabeth 1. I am sort of getting tired of it. I have not seen this one and wonder why the heck do we need yet another, but oh well.

Looks good though.

I promise, I wasn't drunk.

Blog tribe. Hee hee.

I read the coolest blog this morning (2 a.m.) and for the life of me I can't remember.. gotta go find it.. something about a woman who needed a washer and dryer and met the expected deliverypersons with a can of WD-40, the traditional greeting presented by their tribe. Hilarious!

Nobody clicked my "Wonder Bra" link? Come on! That link is great! I am hurt and may never put another link in a comment again.

Jenn said...

I did lazy!! I manually accept cookies when I surf so it probably didn't register.
