movie review: Lars and the Real Girl
So we saw Lars and the Real Girl last night... It was actually pretty good... We had seen a segment on HBO's Real Sex a few years ago about the company that makes the Real Dolls, and it was honestly kinda crazy. The movie follows this dude who has social issues, and one day he starts toting this doll around as if she is a real person that can talk and whatnot. So all the people around him actually play along with it. I enjoyed it. Obviously not a 'big screen required' kinda movie... but it was enjoyable. I would recommend it.
Side note... I hate it when websites don't use title and meta tags correctly... for example... google the title... the top 3 include the IMDB page, the trailer on apple.com, and then the 'official' site... which has a title of 'Lars and the Real Girl - Coming Soon' ... which is dumb, since the movie is already released, and the site itself acknowledges that. Then the lack of meta tags on the page combined with the fact that the page is entirely flash means there is actually NOTHING to show on the google description. Seriously, really?
Our thai restaurant is open!
Our preferred thai delivery place, Pot Pan used to be located on north avenue, but the building was getting torn down for condos, so they moved over to Milwaukee ave. They are actually CLOSER than they used to be to us, which is great (and surprising, since they were only 3 blocks away before, now they are barely 2 blocks. Even from the old location, most of the time they would deliver it on foot.)
They actually have been closed 5 months due in part to the move and in part to the cities 3 month delay in finishing their paperwork. In the meantime, we ordered thai from a few other places, and while they were good, we both have this whole "omg pot pan ruled" thing in our head... so I called tonight (as I have been doing every week) and I was happy to find them open again... They were very happy to be open and the woman referred to us as 'our old customer'... so that was nice. Hopefully our memory is accurate and Pot Pan really is as good as we recall.
mmmmmm fake sandwiches…
fake turkey, crusty marble rye, fake mayo, mustard, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes.... so good.
this must rule
harper hit me with this video. It must be so awesome, but I don't have the balls. Or I have too much self preservation. Kind of a fine line.
