Monsters Vs. Aliens-----boo

So this weekend I took my young niece and nephew to watch this movie. Based on the commercials I thought it should be fun. WRONG. Nothing wrong with me being an 'adult' and not 'getting' a kids movie--this movie was so boring my neice and nephew were squirming around in their seats, peering into their popcorn bags and grabbing each others sodas.

The movie which is super hyped up due to Reece Witherspoon, is about a 50 foot tall woman and her freak monster friends who battle evil aliens. The 'comraderie' and friendship they try to tie in, falls flat. The humor, well wait, what humor? 3-D? Only in a limited number of places. Basically, a waster of time. And the only thing they really enjoyed was the previews!!!!!

Transformers would make it ANY way..........

Transformers did not make 700 billion dollars because of its storyline, I mean come on seriously? And no, it was not because of the "superb" acting abilities of Shia Lebeouf and Megan Fox. It made $700 billion because it is TRANSFORMERS, and it is cool cars becoming R-O-B-O-T-S, seriously people, ROBOTS. I mean is that not every freaking person in this world's dream? What more could u ask of god? A robot for everyone, I shall wish it for us all. No need to pray for world peace if you have a robot, it will keep it for you.......ahhhhh(takes a deep sigh). It will mow your lawn, walk your dog, and be the bestest freind you've ever had. No need for 'real' friends, no need for those pesky humanoid friends (which are useless and hard to come by anyway).

Errrr......my point WAS.........Transformers would have been watched by ANYONE and EVERYONE, just by reading the title, I mean who hasn't wished for another Optimus Prime based storyline? (I remember when he died, it was a traumatic and confusing experience as a child, and freaking stupid of the writers to think they could kill him off and the world would twirl merrily away).

Let's just hope Transformers II, is not a buttload of action sequences and product placement ads strewn together haphazardly. The autobots had heart.

I can't make jello

I'm guessing jello is the dessert that even people who cannot cook bring to dinner parties and family reunions, just so they feel like they brought something. Something so easy they have nothing to do but boil water and stir. Put it into a mold to look like a pretty gem, something, anything to take away from the fact that you made jello while your sister in law made a croquembouche.

I made a fruit jello, the EASIEST recipe out there. I mixed a can of pineapple bits with a pack of jello, just like the recipe instructed to all the little kindergarten cooks out there. I proudly flipped over my mold, in the presence of my sister, exclaiming how "yummy" it was going to taste. I heard this little 'glip' and the entire 'jello' poured out like melted jam. Life sucks.
