- I finally seen The Darjeeling Limited. I loved it. You should see it if you haven’t.
- Miley Cyrus is really annoying. Of course, people are going to get all worked up over a photo of her backless, covered with a sheet, a head of touseled hair and pouty lips. She’s 15 years old has millions of fans that are practically babies. I don’t care who shot it, they (Disney, Vanity Fair, her people, parents, etc.) had to have known it wouldn’t be well received - artsy or not. I couldn’t careless honestly, but I’m just sick of seeing it as *BREAKING NEWS*! If by miracle you haven’t heard about this or seen the picture, Jenn has it up on her blog. What do you think?
- I’m going to Florida in a month and a half! Time to step up the dieting and exercise game. Seriously. I need to look hot for Mickey Mouse. Ew that sounds dirty.
- I slept horribly last night. I woke up and felt like I had just went to sleep. Then I get to work and the kids have colds. Awesome. I love those little germ magnets, but they better not get me sick.
- This weekend I get to see my favorite blogger BFF! We always have an awesome time when we go out. We are kind of ridiculous so look out Chicago.
- Final word on Bright Light, Big Ass? Not thrilled on it and had to kind of push myself through it. Loved Bitter is the New Black though. I definitely recommend the latter. I’m hoping her new book is more like Bitter. Next up is Eat Pray Love. Heard some mixed reviews so I had to check it out myself.
I think that is it. Pretty sure I will be taking a nap when the kids go down this afternoon. I’m exhausted.
Care to share your randomness?
Go for it.

Could Miley Cyrus BE getting any more press? (That was in my Chandler voice.) She’s set to make over a billion dollars this years. Whenever I see her on her tv show, I stop for a second to see what it’s all about. You know what: her voice is annoying. She’s not a good actress. I’m wondering if these tweens that are into her will ever grow out of her? I hope hope hope she fades. I just can’t see her transitioning…as Hilary Duff is so desperately trying to do (and with news of her being on the latest 90210 recreation, I’m rooting for her!).
Wow, I didn’t know I had to say that much about that subject. There you go. Ha.
Yay, Florida!
Jessica Maria - I kind of love you for using your Chandler voice right there. Seriously though! We see totally eye to eye on this Miley broad. I’m predicting her trainwrecking like Britney did if she sticks around (even though I totally love Brit and hope she makes a comeback), it’s only a matter of time.
I took myself on a date to see the Darjeeling Limited. So in love with that movie.
I’m totally cracked up by you mentioning Miley, immediately followed by looking hot for Mickey Mouse. I don’t know why, but that gave me the giggles this morning.
I found the pictures of Miley and her dad way more disturbing than her in the sheet. Everyone is naked sometimes. Not everyone lounges on their dad with their midriff hanging out looking all pouty. WEIRD. I thought it was a model at first. I swear I looked about three times before I believed it was her dad.
holy crap - that guy was her dad. ish.
my randomness: i am craving chocolate so bad right now that i think i could actually eat the powder from nestle quick - forget making chocolate milk, just let me eat a spoonful of chocolate powder. god, this is bad. i better go get a candy bar from the vending machine! :)
i read eat, pray, love…and hoenstly, was not really a huge fan. what i was a HUGE fan of, was recommend to me by miss molly. it’s called “water for elephants.” it is awesome.
i, too love bitter is the new black, and really wanted to read bright lights…i’m so sad you didn’t care for it that much though! hmmm..looks liek i’ll have to go to the library for that one, rather than the bookstore… :)
I find that picture of Miley to be extremely unflattering.
Anyway.
Blogger BFF’s are the best!
What will I do when you’re off in Florida having a fantabulous time?! *snif* I should start a blog contest: “Replace my blogger BFF for a limited time.” Obviously when you come back I’d kick them to the curb.
I loved the Darjeeling Limited! That picture makes me smile:)
We recently saw the Darjeeling Limited too. We liked it; sometimes you just feel like watching a random movie, and I thought this movie definitely had its random moments. I hope you don’t get sick! That is never fun
@ Rachel — YES! She looks like a vampire or a monster or something.
she needs to eat like 50 hamburgers. Gross.
I struggled thru Eat Pray Love, then eventually just put it down because it became too much work to get to the end. Highly recommend Water for Elephants! It was a great read. I am currently reading Wicked. Bitter is the New Black, is on my list to read soon!
I agree with you on the Miley Cyrus topic- um, hello!? No one thought this was going to happen? Or was that the point? At any rate, have a blast in Florida– I’m jealous! I’m trying to organize a trip for myself down there the end of May/beginning of August, I have a friend in Jacksonville I’d love to see. And I recommend Baby Mama- funny and cute…Have a great day!
Random book/author recommendation: Jennifer Weiner. Amazing! Also, I agree with Mandy (above), Water For Elephants knocked my socks off. If you’re into some deeper literature, I’m re-reading (for like the fourth time) Richard Russo’s The Whore’s Child. Short stories, highly recommended.
I like to read.
i LOVE darjeeling limited. watch it almost everynightttt (if i’m not watching royal tenenbaums)
I felt the same about “bright lights big ass” it was good, it still had her snark but it was just…i dunno lacking something. I really hope “such a pretty fat” is better.
You will LOVE “eat pray love’ seriously…if you don’t…i will be sad. It will make you want to move to italy and bali…and yeah. You’ll love :)
Okay, yes, Miley Cyrus is annoying. That is all.
I’m sick of the Miley drama too. Get a clue people, what did you think would happen? My randomness, I can’t decide if I want a pizza lunch then nap on my day off or go see a movie.
Thanks for the heads up on Bright Lights, Big City. I really wanted to after finishing BitNB, but maybe I’ll wait. I have high hopes for Such A Pretty Fat.
I love the Darjeeling Limited AND Eat Pray Love! I’m so glad we’re freaders.
I will add my praise to Water For Elephants. I loved it, and it was out of my usual bookreading realm.
I absolutely do not see how the Miley photos are breaking news. However, I didn’t think they were as big a deal as is being made of them. I actually don’t think girls as young as 5 should be watching her show. I sometimes think things are a bit mature for our nine year olds. However, she is 15, and that is when entertainers start moving into more adult roles. I am usually pretty conservative about these things, but I was surprised how little the photos impacted me after all the hoopla.
And, finally. I swear I’m telling Minnie about you getting in shape for Mickey. I don’t think she will approve.
Darjeeling Limited is the BEST BEST BEST movie ever! The man is a genius.
I totally agree about Miley Cyrus - I’m so over it already. FIND SOME REAL NEWS, PEOPLE! lol I really don’t see her appeal, but then again I don’t watch Hannah Montana (I feel like I’m maybe 15 yrs too old for it?) Argh.
I loved Eat Pray Love, read it at a good time for me (on the plane home after me and bf breaking up last month). I hope you like it!
Oh, Miley Cyrus. My boyfriend’s roommate asked me about the photo last night, if I had seen it, what I had thought, etc., and I agree with you. Everyone should have KNOWN it would get lots of press. And really, it wasn’t that bad.
I began reading ‘Eat Pray Love’ and I am enjoying it so far. I hope you like it!
I totally agree with you about the little-girl-Cyrus-thing.
