Holy crap, I haven't updated this in years. I can't be stuck with some of these guys. Then again, I guess there is no shame in some of my choices. I guess I'm only confident in two or three and then feel like I'm settling for the rest. Now I'm watching Sherlock and think "Well, if I choose one and then it turn out the other one is better....." then I'm screwed. (Yes, I am officially trying to declare if I will have a crush on Sherlock or Holmes.) I really take this not important and never going to matter list seriously. So in an attempt to stop fretting, I'm just going to update and move on. And hope I don't run into Martin Freeman in a coffee shop anytime soon.

March & April (so far) Movies and Bo....
I didn't read anything in March. I have Angels and Demons
just waiting for me to get started, but I just can't pull the
trigger. So I'll use my surplus from the earlier months to get to my
twelve this year average. In fact I'll do the same for April because
it is busy times right now.
All of the movies I've seen are stating to blur and I will need forgiveness as I state this from March up to today. In response to Wreck it Ralph, the husband chose Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I decided that we needed to be depressed and bored so I picked No Country ForOld Men after we watched Gravity that didn't count since we borrowed it from friends. He went on a 90's action kick so he chose JurassicPark. I went Hobbit 2 then he followed with Speed. I get why Jurassic Park and Speed were popular at the time, but of course in certain ways, they do not hold up. For last week, I cheated and said I wanted to watch Sherlock. I know it's TV, but it's an hour and a half per episode TV and we watched all of Season 1 (or Series 1) so it is my choice and I stand by it.
I will say that of the three most recent versions of Sherlock Holmes in media, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman have the best sexual chemistry. (Apologies to Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law, but not to Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu.)That catches us up to this week, and he has one more day to declare.
On my own I watched Pitch Perfect to rinse the taste of Javier Bardem out of my mouth, then Thor 2 and Hunger Games 2 so I could finally listen to the spoiler episodes of Comedy FilmNerds. And if we are accurate, I got to listen to and see parts of Frozen while eating my nieces. I have to see it all in a child free environment soon. And get me a plush Sven. So cute.
Feeeewwwww. I guess now I can go back to enjoying my Good Friday. Or back to my being solemn and dignified.

Dora Made Me Dumb
I know I'm not the target audience, but holy crap, watching Dora made the experience of babysitting my nieces stretch for eternity. I did, however come out of it with an observation. The horrible making the children scream "Swiper, no swiping!" three times to get him to stop seems like the way to train a new generation of children to have the OCD of Sheldon Copper and his Knock, Knock, Knock, Penny.
Your choice on which is more annoying.
My money is on Dora.
And after writing this, I had this scene jump into my head. You're welcome.

Celebrity Sighting #Arm the Children!
"We need comedy to get rid of our desire to kill."
Holy crap my face hurt so hard after this show. I went with friends and family to see the wonderful Christopher Titus at Tommy T's. Since my husband and I saw him a few years ago, I don't need to gush some more about him. The bonus was getting to see his new wife as his opening act.I'm a regular listener of the Titus Podcast, so I know Bombshell Rae is funny, but it was great to see her perform solo instead of bounce off of Titus.
Even more incredible is that he went on for almost two hours and Rae told me after the show that he usually goes longer. That is unfair to other performers I may see. They can't live up to the quality of this man. If you have the chance to see him perform live, get your ass to the show.

February Movies and Book(s)
To back track I also watched by myself A.C.O.D. which was fine. My husband and I got through Don Jon(me), This Film is Not Yet Rated(him), Kick Ass 2(me), Dr. Horrible(me, I stole), and Wreck It Ralph(me). In the not counting list, we saw The Lego Movie and finished our LoTR winter watching spiced up with Rifftrax.
I think Ralph and Lego win that month.
Personally, I watched In a World, and The Heat. I declared Heat the week we watched Kick Ass 2, but the three hour thing sort of took it's toll and we had to shove some movies into another week. The point is we are averaging one movie a week. Watching The Heat was a little overboard for me since I was trying to use Redbox coupons before they expired. Damn right, I love free stuff.
For reading, I rushed through the inferior sequel Midnight in Austenland, and in an attempt to finish before it was borrowed, The Disaster Artist. My actual choice was Self-Inflicted Wounds by Aisha Tyler, and since it finally came in to the library, Paddle Your Own Canoe. Besides Austenland, these books all have really long ass names. I fully recommend Paddle to anyone who thinks like me.
Wow, it was a really rough, though short month, but I did my thing and we move on. By the way, technically Ralph was in March but I declared in February, so I put it here.

Resolutions Are Hard
We have wavered back and forth. For the most part we are keeping up with watching movies, but due to some full weekend problems, we are making concessions. We saw the Lego Movie (oh, it was awesome!), but that didn't really count, but we're busy so it did....crap like that. Hell, we just watched Dr. Horrible for the first time and that sort of counts for me this week. Feels like cheating, and we probably are, but we've watched and now I can still get to bed at a decent hour. Once I'm done reading about it on the internet.

Celebrity Sighting #420
At the end of SF Skecthfest and the Christmas presents from my husband, I got to sit in on a Benson Movie Interruption of Twilight: New Moon. It occured to me that I have never seen this movie without famous people talking over it.
The line in was ridiculous as was the line for the ladies room. While bonding over mutual Benson love with the girl in front of me, I see the man himself sneak through the lobby. I frantically tapped her on the shoulder and pointed as I saw him and Paul Scheer go through. Then I immediately apologized afterward and said I would not have done so if it were anything else. She quickly accepted and thanked me since she was focused on the line moving forward. The girl behind me claimed she saw Chris Hardwick and Janet Varney, but I dared not to dream. I did see Janet Varney upstairs chilling before the show and wanted to wave, but knew I was holding up people on the stairs so moved quickly.
When back in the balcony I excitedly heard the special guests announced: Paul Scheer, Rob Hubel, Chris Hardwick, and Tom Lennon. Oh happy day indeed. It was a fun show and I loved that my husband took me out. I love supporting my favorite podcasters and performers. I love laughing and sharing with like minded people. I did forget that this was a huge group of stoners and got annoyed with every inhale of cigarette and pot smoke. Well, can't have a perfect night.
Then again, as an "homage" to Taylor Lautner, Tom Lennon took his shirt off. How any people get to see that? Well, I Googled it and apparently anyone who Googles it can see it. But not in person so I win. And yes, I am aware that his IMDb picture features him pant-less. I still win. Actually we all win now.
