Tuning in on Thursday - Week 10
This was actually a quiet viewing week...
Movies
Horrible Bosses - You know how everyone has celebrity crushes? Well, the guy is a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston. If she is in a movie I know that I eventually will have to see it. This worked out well when I wanted to see Marley and Me, though. I wanted to eventually see this one anyway, so I was glad that we sat down and watched it the other night. It was funny, but I expected better. It could have been a lot better than it was, though. There was not as much humour and laugh out loud moments as I would have liked.
Valkyrie - This was actually on television the other night. I am not a huge fan of Tom Cruise, but I like movies set during World War 2. It was actually rather good. I wanted to see it when it came out, but forgot about it for a while there. I actually recommend it and would like to watch it again without the commercials.
Friday Reads - 3rd Edition

| Hypothetically... I haven't had much time to read this lately and I really need to get back to it. |

| Also hypothetically... |

| I am reading this now. My audio book plans have taken a vacation because the guy's mp3 player broke and he borrowed mine. He was at least nice enough to wait until I got this from the library. If I was a big audio book listener it would probably be a big deal, but where it was still relatively new I am good for the time being. The guy can't handle not having music, so I was nice. |
 |
| I was hoping to at least finish this book tonight, but I went to see a play that my friend was in earlier, then I had to shovel the driveway, and now the guy is coming home early from work because of a heating issue in one of the apartments. It is mainly because we are both a bit concerned about the space heater they are using in the meantime... |
I liked Horrible Bosses and Valkyrie. What two totally different movies to see in a week :)
ReplyDeleteI know! lol
DeleteI LOVE the word "written" in your new banner. I love the font and the letters that are within the letters. So cool :-) I thought you said you wanted to get away from black, though? I think it looks great now, but I thought I remembered you saying that before... I like the lavender, too!
ReplyDeleteWell, people have been telling me the white writing on the black background was hard on the eyes, but I really like black... So, this was my compromise. And, yes, I really enjoy having the 'Written' like that, too. I think it suits my blog. Originally one of the templates had all the writing like that but it was a bit too much. I like it better this way.
DeleteNice template, it is very fitting as well as being pretty damn cool. Kudos to the designer. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen either movie but Valkyrie seems to be a good {from what I've heard anyway.}
Moonwalking with Einstein (although a bit of a weird title) seems sotra interesting. And the Girl of Fire and Thorns - I've been meaning to read that- 'meaning to' is the key phrase here; I must actually go and do that, before I put it of for another few months ...
Good post, interesting books, and interesting reviews :)
Thanks! She did an awesome job, huh?
DeleteValkyrie was pretty good. I look forward to seeing it again.
The Girl of Fire and Thorns was actually pretty good. I finished it this morning. I am glad I read it.
Thanks!
I haven't even read your post yet but had to say I love the template! Very you! Sparkly, fantasy, fairies, magic, books. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am in love with it myself. :)
DeleteHaha, I love the hypothetically reading! I'm hypothetically reading a couple of books too.
ReplyDeleteIt happens. Too many plans and not enough hours...
DeleteI'm back for a second look and really want to say it again after yesterday's mini-tweet - I totally love your new look. I'm glad you kept some black, it sort of suits your blog. The header is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am glad I kept the black, too. I think getting rid of it entirely might have made it too much of a change...
DeleteI like the header!
ReplyDeleteI saw Valkyrie back when it was in theatres - loved it! Happy you enjoyed it too. :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad I finally saw it. I had heard good things but just never got around to it before...
DeleteLove the new template! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous new template!
ReplyDeleteLove love love the new bloggy look! Very clean and easy to navigate, but it still looks very much like you and represents the feel of your blog. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I wasn't so sure about the sidebars in the beginning, but now that I have them organized a bit I am liking the whole look. :)
DeleteI really anxious for a turn at Ready Player One.... a book that has just now come onto my radar. Love the new look!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do read it and enjoy it! I loved it!
DeleteAnd thanks!
I was really disappointed by horrible bosses as well. There were a few moments but...
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, love the new look! The lighter background is much easier to read but I love how you've kept the feel the same. Did you design your header?
Yeah, I know. It wasn't what I was expecting at all.
DeleteThanks! I am glad you enjoy the new look. Several people didn't like the black, so I felt I had to change things. I offered suggestions for the new header, but ultimately Alex did the designing. :)
