Rock Band 2

So Brandon and I went to the mall because we haven't been there in a while. I usually avoid it due to not being able to resist buying something I like. Well his whole reason in going was to "look" at Rock Band 2 and "discuss" it :) . Well we did look at it AND discuss it and in the end we bought it but under the condition that he needs to sell his I pod that he never uses and at least one or two of his games... I will make sure this happens :) We played it last night and it was alot of fun except for now I'm tired from being up til 2 am.

Alice in Wonderland

I just found out today when I got home from work that Tim Burton is making a live-action and CGI version of the "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" story.

He tells Sci-Fi Wire that the story is "just such a classic, and the imagery is so surreal. I don't know; I've never seen a version where I feel like they got it all. It's a series of weird adventures, and to try to do it where it works as a movie will be interesting...The imagery, they've never quite nailed making it compelling as a full story. So I think it's an interesting challenge to direct."

It's of course starring Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp as "the mad hatter". Anne Hathaway is also going to be in it. I'm crazy about all of Tim Burtons movies. I waited so long for the corpse bride to come out and I really loved it. Big Fish is one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm saddened to find that it isn't going to be released until 2010. But when it is I'm sure it'll be amazing.

Michael Bublé

On Saturday Brandon took me to a Michael Bublé concert. It was amazing. Bublé put on such a great show and he was very personable and genuine. It was honestly one of the best concerts I've been to and by far the most entertaining. He was funny and sounded so good. He had his whole entourage of trombone and saxophone players, as well as a pianist, a Cellist and various other musicians there with him. Brandon even fell under Bublé's spell. He was really impressed. Which is good because then he'll continue to take me to such wonderful shows. We had a really great date night.

New-ish Car!

So last week was such an exciting week. First I got my hair cut on Monday which was really exciting for me! And then on Tuesday Brandon and I went and picked up my new (well, new-ish) car! It's a 2003 Mini Cooper S and it is amazing. I really am thrilled with it. It's the perfect size for me and I love its white stripes. It has such character for such a tiny car :) It has nav and climate control and all this cool stuff that I didn't have in my old car (my cavy :'( ... ) I am excited to drive to work in it each day, it sounds dorky but its true. Now when Brandon and I go anywhere, this is the car we take. And now I get the covered parking :D

New Do!

So I desperately needed a hair cut because it had been like 7 or so months since i had had it trimmed. April gave me the number of the lady that cut her hair because I really liked hers and figured she'd do a good job on mine too. So I go to the lady's house and I have her put some highlights in and she is asking me what i want done cut-wise. Shes like "well we could cut off about four inches or so if you want all the dead ends off..." and I had been debating it in my mind since I had gotten there, and was like "you know what? lets just chop it off, short like yours" and she said "are you serious? are you sure?" and I said "yeah just do it. it'll be good just hurry before I change my mind!" And chop chop snip snip and I had my new do. She didn't have a mirror in the room where she was cutting my hair so I had to wait until it was all finished before I could see it. And when she showed me, there wasn't any doubt in my mind that I loved it. She did such a wonderful job on the cut and color. I really really love it. I'm glad April was brave and cut her hair it made me feel more confident about doing it myself. :) It's nice to change things up a bit every now and then.
