Anti-Smoking

The campaign that I want to see is one with real people, like beautiful girls and guys - and for each ad it has this picture, of the perfect date with this gorgeous person ... and then it says, "she doesn't date smokers" or "he doesn't date smokers" ...

A few little guys that I was working on today when I was playing around with some ideas for some new business cards.  I like the idea of lining them up all in a row at the top of letterhead, too.  We’ll see!

Movie #26 Stuck in Love (2012)

I LOVED THIS!!! I don't have time to write a super good review, like I would like to ... so maybe y'all should just go watch it and decide for yourself? I liked all of it! It made me sad and happy and excited and even inspired. I like all the characters, and feel for all of them. 9/10

Movie #25 Safe Haven (2013)

This one was pretty good! It was different from most of the ones I have watched because it has a little bit or mystery and suspense in it! I enjoyed all the twists and turns EXCEPT for the very last one. I won’t say anything, because it would be a major spoiler. I found it really sweet and idealistic. I have always pictured moving to the middle of nowhere and meeting some handsome man that would make me a bike and order me paint … of course life isn’t really like this. I have been to the middle of nowhere, and there is nobody that handsome and sweet there. (I guess romantic movies should be called fantasy movies) Oh well, it was a nice vacation from my current love-life situation. 7/10

Movie #24 When Harry Met Sally (1989)

Ugghh… I have been in bed all day, and all night last night as well. The only food I have been able to keep down is a slice of dry toast. Actually, after watching this movie, I regained my ability to get out of bed – because it was such a boring movie, my body was able to fight off whatever kind of influenza I have!! I guess what I liked about this one is that it is “more” realistic than other romance movies, they didn’t meet, and then fall madly in love within four days and get married at the end. ALSO, I do feel like these characters got to know each other during the film, usually it seems like movie characters fall in love based on nothing. BUT I just have to say …  it was still totally boring and completely predictable. I actually got out of my snuggly bed, went to the bathroom (with the door open so I could keep watching) then started to unpack my boxes from the long weekend! I also made soup. The soup is more charming than Harry. 3/10

Movie #23 Adore (2013)

I feel really weird after watching this one. I feel like I just watched some fetish porn – really long, not super graphic porn, with a lot of story line… So basically, Freud would have a field day with this. Two best friends fall in love with each other’s teenaged son! GROSS!!! AND what makes it worse is that they have known each other their entire lives, so they think of the women they are sleeping with as their “second mom.” YUCK!! Although, the guys are pretty cute – especially the blonde one (Xavier Samuel) who has been in a few other things! It’s too gross for me… I feel like it is incest. AND the two best friends/moms look so similar, I would forget which mom had which kid, so that led to some shocking moments that weren’t meant to be so shocking! Even if they weren't practically incest, they are having sex with someone like 30 years older/younger... I … feel like I need a bath now, and I need to scrub this one out of my head… 3/10

Movie #22 Dan in Real Life (2007)

Wow… I really liked this one!! Again – not your typical romantic comedy, this was classified as a romantic/independent movie! AND it’s on Canadian Netflix! I remember watching this at a party when it first came out, and not liking it. Thinking that nothing even happened in the entire thing. Independent movies are kind of known for this – like looking into an ordinary persons life for a little while. I really love this, I feel like they are somehow the most realistic, and I connect the most with this kind of movie. Steve Carell is so funny, and his story is so tragic – I just about fell in love with him! He is a very handsome man, and he is so goofy, I just want him for myself. There are a lot of awkward situations, and a lot of characters learn valuable lessons during the film, and I love when that happens! 9/10

Movie #21 Flashdance (1983)

Yet another movie that I have been hearing about my entire life… I need to stop listening to people that are telling me these movies are “timeless” and “classic.” This movie is suuuuuuuper dated. Like, holy crap those bikini lines? The WORKOUT SCENE?!?! Everyone is thrusting, and everyone is sooooo skinny!! This movie can’t possibly be serious? Can it? I suggest either watching this as a joke – or making into a drinking game. OR You could just watch an hour of the Olympic figure skating, and then go kiss an old creepy man! I’m sure it will be even more satisfying than watching the movie. 2/10

Movie #20 Waitress (2007)

This one started out so strong. I was very hopeful that I would actually like it!! I worked in a restaurant for a long time, and I felt a connection with all the girls working in the pie shop. I also have a passion for baking! Sadly, that’s where my similarities with the story ended. First I have to say that I have, like, no sympathy for women that marry awful men. Maybe I could understand that the relationship WENT south, like it used to be great and everything – but if every waking moment of your life is spent wishing you could move away from your horrible husband, THEN YOU SHOULD MOVE AWAY FROM YOUR HORRIBLE HUSBAND. Maybe he would beat you up if you left? WHY WOULD YOU EVER DATE SOMEONE LIKE THAT?! Call the police, get a restraining order. Hire a security guard. Call Saul Goodman – he has a guy for that. Seriously. Women in these movies have no self-value. They don’t think they can survive on their own? I just want to understand?? Why do women find themselves attracted to these men in the first place? In fact, every relationship in the entire thing is a bad one. I guess there is a happy ending – but the fact that she just had to yell at him to get him to leave her alone makes me even angrier.  She should have done that a long time ago. 4/10 (The pies, and the doctor)
