Last night Jessica and I went to see Youth in Revolt. I had high hopes – Michael Cera is adorable, the premise seemed hilarious, and it was shot in Michigan.
Unfortunately, the movie was slow moving and the kids were way too awkward for my taste. I thought it could have much funnier, but it came off super weird instead. I think people will either love this movie or hate it. My recommendation is to wait for it to come out on DVD and get a little tipsy before watching.
Jessica sent me home with a prezzie for Slayer since it no longer fit her pup. I put it on him when I got home and couldn’t stop laughing. I think he’s going to be wearing it a lot now, if only for my own amusement.
Other things that make me happy:
+ Listening to Saves The Day + homemade Arnold Palmers + pizza grilled cheese + new commenters (Hi!) + sunny, spring-like days & melting snow + digging out skirts and sweaters I haven’t worn in a while + planning to do nothing but paint my nails and watch Dexter + making popcorn at work + Gaga TOMORROW!! +

So dish – how was GaGa?! I saw that you won free tickets on Twitter and was uber jealous. I hope you took some photos because I want to see this crazy woman in action.

Jen – I’m going tonight! There will definitely be pictures – stay tuned!
OHMYGOSH that’s just too adorable! :)
Slayer is looking so handsome. Love it.
Ha! Love his new accessory! And thanks for the movie review, sounds like I’ll be Netflixing it.
Now that is one office-ready dog. I feel like he would more likely be in a creative department where he only puts his tie on for important meetings with executive, as opposed to the accounting type.
Thanks for the review! I have a hard time with “awkward funny” when it’s overdone, so it sounds like this one won’t be a favorite of mine.
But he was awesome in Superbad :)

Mary – Not even close to Superbad status. I have no idea what they were trying to do, but it’s like a 500 on the awkward scale. So uncomfortable!
I totally agree – Michael Cera IS adorable. Haven’t seen that movie though.
I think most dogs couldn’t pull off that look — Slayer is rockin’ it!
Hahaha that tie is amazing on Slayer. So handsome :) And I’m glad you said something about the movie because I had a feeling it was going to flop!
I love me some Arnold Palmesr…YUM…
hahaha! what a little gentleman! he means serious business in the second photo. you should totally make him a matching orange suitcase.
i’m into dressing up your animals- can you tell?
I am conflicted about seeing Youth in Revolt. Glad you posted this.
ummmm…you are going to see Lady Gaga tomorrow? I am 1,000% jealous. I would say I hope you have fun, but it’s a given with Gaga.
