Name that movie!

Well, I thought that was going to be hard but apparently it was easy. The movie was the 1989 version of Batman. I have to say, Michael Keaton was definitely my favorite Batman but I do love seeing George Clooney in the spandex suit. I haven't seen the recent Batman movie with Heath Ledger as the Joker but I just love the pizazz that Jack Nicholson gives off... and the cheesy 80's music during the parade. Who do you trust?

Who's portrayal of the winged avenger was your favorite?

Name that movie!

Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?

That's your movie quote for the day. Can you guess what movie? Don't think too hard because "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." ;) (That's a clue for the actor not the movie!) Who can get it first!

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros - Home

It's the fall. In our household that means that Saturdays are dedicated to the Buckeyes and college football. Sundays is all NFL all the time (even if we are rooting for the Brownies despite their low percentage of taking home a win). Monday nights are again devoted to football as well. I get excited when football is over but then we get into college and professional basketball. Without cable I am a slave to Tim's television preferences because there's not much else on anyway.

What does this have to do with what I am listening to this week you ask? Well there is a very fun NFL commercial that plays on our television every week and the whistling at the beginning reels me in like a snake charmer and I find myself whistling it all day. There was just one problem, the song only lasts 30 seconds on the commercial. That's why God created google.

This is an amazing group! I LOVE this song!! It has been a great pick me up for a run as well as when I am burning the midnight oil studying. I think the neighbors have had enough of it but every week I see that commercial and I get excited all over again!

Enjoy! Go Browns!! ;)


Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

Empire of the Ants

Well, one of the things we love most about Netflix is the crazy amount of cheesy Grade B or C (or even D) horror films that Netflix has available for instant viewing. Tim usually gets to choose the movie with my power of the veto if it just seems like we are going to be wasting time by watching a movie. Sometimes they seem like they could be really entertaining in the cheesiest way and at the end you are asking for your last 90 minutes back because you know you never will. Sometimes we don't even make it through the movie but it is fun playing Russian Roulette with these fantastically awful horror films.


Today's Netflix Friday movie is Empire of the Ants. It is supposedly an adaptation of H.G. Wells' Empire of the Ants. I am guessing they took a lot of creative interpretation with it since I have never read Empire of the Ants but it cannot be this bad! Released in 1977, it stars Joan Collins so we thought it had to be somewhat good. Hilariously entertaining? Yes. Feeding off my disain for insects which most certainly include disgusting ants? Yes. Cheese-tacular? Of course! A waste of our time? That's up for debate since Tim fell asleep. Good? Definitely not but a night full of our own mystery science theater commentating was perfect!

Here's the premise according to Netflix:

Vacationers on an isolated island find themselves at the mercy of voracious ants when a toxic spill turns the pests into rampaging, radioactive reprobates. Stumbling into the ants' creepy lair, a sleazy land developer (Joan Collins) and her clients are horrified to realize that the ants are having a human picnic. Seems these bugs are hell-bent on exterminating mankind and taking over the island. Can anyone stop them?

Watch it if you think you can stomach the giant ants and non-stop ant screeching!

It's a girl!! x2

My beautiful sorority sister, Jessica, and her husband, Josh, a fraternity brother of Tim's, had twin girls today! I will say being a twin means that I have a special place in my heart for twins... and girls to boot! I can't share pictures of the girls because I haven't asked for permission but I can tell you they are beautiful and look like they are going to be spoiled rotten!

For a wedding gift Jess bought us the sewing machine that I registered for. Before we left to come home after the wedding I made Jess' girls, Tatum and Quinn, quilts (which you can see in the pictures). I have only made a quilt once before and I am certainly not an expert. I can't do all of the intricate sewing that most quilters can do but it was certainly a learning experience and a lot of fun!!

Lots of love and congrats to Jess and Josh on their new little ones!Love you, Beans!

Name that movie!

Well, we had a couple of answers on facebook and one here for what movie this song was from and they were all correct! This might have been a little too easy! Don't forget to post your answers here!!

There are so many great one-liners in the trailer!

Bobcat Battalion

This weekend, at OU's Parents' Weekend, Ryan took his commitment oath at Ohio University for the Army ROTC Bobcat Battalion. We could not be prouder of the amazing young man Ryan has become. He's very handsome too! Thankfully, mom and dad got to be there and took this picture of Ryan in one of his uniforms. Congrats Ryan, we love you!
