That's The Way (Uh Huh Uh Huh) I Like It

I wanted to get some new pictures up before I posted again. Uh, it obviously didn't happen, and that's why it has been several days since my last visit. Oh well. I will throw this one in for your viewing pleasure. Clive Owen. Yum. (Yes, my husband reads my blog, and it's okay. He bought "The Mummy Trilogy" for Christmas because I had made a comment that I thought Brendan Fraser was hot.) I don't know what it is about Clive, but he does it for me. We came to Logan this weekend, and I went to see "Duplicity" with my parents. I highly recommend it, especially if you are a connoisseur of fine Englishmen. His accent isn't as posh as, say, that of Colin Firth, but it's still pretty darn sexy. I would like to see the movie again, as the plot line is a bit complicated (just the way I like them!). I also like that it's an original screenplay; I have been pretty disappointed with the barrage of adaptations from good novels into mediocre movies. That's part of why I haven't seen "Twilight" yet. I'll probably RedBox it this week--we'll see. I have enjoyed watching the boob tube while we have been in Logan. I discovered a new show called "Tough Love" on VH1. It's a reality show, yes, but it's actually useful! There are eight women who (live together in a house, of course!) have come to a matchmaking "Boot Camp." The producers chose women who personify something that I think every woman can see part of herself in. Steve, the Matchmaker/Host/Drill Sergeant, is brutally honest with the girls, and it's hilarious. Miss 'Party Girl' said, "I can get any guy I want." And Steve told her that she could get anyone to have sex with her, but they wouldn't put a ring on her finger. Ouch! There's Miss 'Gold-Digger' who is needs to be the center of attention, Miss 'Lone Ranger' who is 39 and can't stop talking about her career, Miss 'Ball-Buster' who likes to be intimidating, Miss 'Bridezilla' who tells everyone that she's looking to get married within a year, Miss 'Picky' who believes in the fairy tale, Miss 'Fatal Attraction' who is very insecure and texts guys in the middle of the night, etc. There's also one more, Natasha (whose nickname I seriously can't remember), who is just too forgettable. Each woman is very defensive about why they are how they are, but when they follow Steve's advice, they are actually seeing results. Steve puts them in different situations with guys (dates, work-outs, clubs, etc.), then talks to the guys afterward to see what they thought. It's very interesting, and it's a good insight into the male psyche. It makes me even more grateful that I don't have to play the game anymore. Sure, Allen may not be as sexy as Clive Owen, but we love each other and we are good together. I can't ask for much more than that. :o)
