Ok ladies, in case you missed this winter's fashion memo, here it is. Apparently the style this winter is leggings worn under a pair of athletic shorts. To compliment this style, you must wear boots (preferably Uggs as cowboy boots look ridiculous). If you are feeling rather frisky, you can forgo the shorts and act as if you weren't trying to show everyone your butt. In the event that you are stupid or from Alaska, you can just wear the shorts without leggings or boots in 50 degree weather. Instead of boots, you must compliment your attire with flip-flops, a heavy coat and a scarf.

I really can't believe what I witnessed earlier today. As I was washing my hands in the bathroom at school, a young, Asian man decided to blow his nose into the sink next to where I was standing. There was no tissue involved; he just stood over the sink and started blowing. Thankfully he had the decency to wash it all down the drain, but still...how disgusting!

Walking outside this morning, I noticed my usually black car was no longer black. It was more of a grey color. Some sort of white substance had covered my car. In fact every car had this mysterious substance on it. However, the immediate area around the cars was clear. The substance was very cold to the touch and was not easily brushed off. In fact, in order to clear my windows, I had to scrape it off. Lucky for me, this substance was afraid of heat and quickly disappeared when heat was applied. Should it return, I now know it's weakness.

For those of you that have not yet wasted your money to see Beowulf, I present to you my review. Hopefully this review will help in your decision to spend money this holiday season.

To say Saturday didn't go as planned is a vast understatement. It all began as I tried to meet up with a guy who bought my Alabama tickets on Ebay. He couldn't tell me when he was going to be in town and decided to call me periodically as he drove down. This made it difficult to shop for groceries as we had planned that morning, so we had to wait for him to get into Tuscaloosa. We decided to meet at the McDonald's around the corner from us. For some reason, this guy thought we were meeting across the street at Winn-Dixie, never mind that I had said McDonald's repeatedly when talking to him. Thankfully he decided to drive over to McDonald's and I met him in the parking lot. If Erika hadn't pulled up beside us so that I could escape to the car, I might still be there listening to him.

I was happy to sell the tickets especially after finding out that Alabama lost to Louisiana-Monroe? How did that happen? I sure hope that I can watch the Predators game Saturday night after Auburn takes a bazillion point lead in the first half. Any team that gets beaten by a minor school like Louisiana-Monroe can't possible think they stand a chance with an SEC powerhouse. (This is probably the only time you will see me refer to Auburn as a powerhouse)

So instead of watching a dismal game, we made the trek to Birmingham to watch Beowulf in all it's digital, 3D glory. A review is forthcoming, but it was a complete letdown. At dinner, we chose a Japanese restaurant because Erika wanted tempura, but we ended up getting Chinese (at the same restaurant) because they didn't have tempura. Not to say that dinner was bad, but like the rest of the day, it just didn't go as planned.

I know all of my loyal fans have been thinking, "What happened to the movie reviews?" In fact, I did write movie reviews once upon a time, but the deficit of promising titles kept me away from popcorn gluttony. Finally, a movie came out that I considered to be worthy of my money. I've just posted my review for Dan in Real Life. Might I say that Steve Carell is awesome. To read the review, click on the link in the menu above.

I'm sure all of you have been wondering what happened to "Mouthin' Off". You too are in luck as I am posting a new one. Today I give you Friends or Lovers from Mercyland Enjoy the music and the weekend.
