LaLa Means I Love You......Jen

1/04/2006

Mini Movie Review: The Cooler - I've been wanting to see this for some time now, and it was a really bittersweet movie about love and luck and how they affect people - with a happy(?) ending. Total fantasy, but very enjoyable - much due to the lovely acting by William H. Macy. (****)

Today's favorite winter dish, Beef and Barley Stew

Scrubs returned back in new episode rotation! I think the break was bad for the show though, as it seemed to need some more funny-building than it actually delivered. It was also VERY Ally McBealish - for example when JD was shoved into the backpack.

Mini Movie Review: X-men. I've always liked the story, but I'm not sure what took me so long to watch this first one. I do think I liked X2 better, but this was rather enjoyable as well. I was most impressed with the Wolverine vs. Mystique fight scene at the end. (***)

Before I hit the sack last night, I redeemed an iTunes gift card that my dad gave me for Christmas. For those interested, here is my random list of downloads:

Sugar (Gimme Some) - Trick Daddy
Cupid/I've Loved You for a Long Time - The Spinners
My Humps - Black Eyed Peas
Don't Disturb This Groove - The System
Dare - Gorillaz
You and Me - Lifehouse
Collide - Howie Day
These Words (I Love You, I Love You) - Natasha Bedingfield
Remedy - Seether
While You See a Chance - Steve Winwood
Put a Little Love in Your Heart - Al Green and Annie Lennox
Stomp - Brothers Johnson
Breathe (2AM) - Anna Nalick
Wonderful Night - Fatboy Slim


Too bad he only gave me $15! ;) I had a hard time choosing within that budget! Thankfully (or not thankfully, sometime in the future, eh?) there were quite a few songs that I've been wanting that I couldn't find. I've been listening to the 80's music a bit much lately. Off the top of my head, some songs I've been trying to wrangle but haven't found are Bob Welch - Ebony Eyes, A Taste of Honey - Sukiyaki, the compilation CD Get Down Tonight: The Disco Explosion and several cheesey Cliff Richard songs. I also really wanted to get the new Shakira album, but I opted for variety instead.
