We Did It!!!

It's official.

Sam and I became the laziest people on earth in our last week of this Spring semester.

According to the last count, we were 12 for 12. We accomplished our goal and watched

Brother Bear
Groundhog Day
Chimpanzee (we accidentally put the first Lord of the Rings here in the other post)
Lord of the Rings: Two Towers
Spinal Tap
The Blind Side
Big Fish
Say Anything
Shakespeare in Love
Inglorious Bastards
The Fall
He's Just Not That Into You

And actually, the day we watched Inglorious Bastards, ABC Family was doing a fabulous job adding to our inactivity by airing Clueless, The Lion King, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Yup. We watched four movies that day.

I had never seen Say Anything before and it is officially my new favorite movie. I'm forever grateful to Sam for having me watch it. Now every time I here the song "In Your Eyes" I start giggling like a maniac. That movie is going on my birthday wish list.

Anyways, Sam and I are both at home now and miss each other dearly. We will both be updating the blog though--I know you were worried.

And this is what I'll be staring at for the next three months.

Life is good.

This Is What We Do With Our Lives

In an effort to avoid studying for finals, Meredith and I have a new goal for ourselves: watch a movie every night until we leave. Currently, we are 6 for 6, and we’ll be 7 for 7 in a few hours. So far, we’ve watched the following:

Brother Bear
Groundhog Day
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Spinal Tap
The Blind Side

I’d never seen Brother Bear or either of the Lord of the Rings movies, and Meredith hadn’t seen Groundhog Day or Spinal Tap (I took personal offense to the fact that she hadn’t seen Spinal Tap, as that is one of my favorite movies of all time—I think she liked it).

Brother Bear was incredibly cute, and I’ve officially decided that if I were given the choice between being a human and being a bear, I would choose being a bear, but only if being a bear is the way it was depicted in the movie. I’ve also decided that if I were given the choice between being a human and being a hobbit, I would choose being a hobbit, but only if it were guaranteed that I wouldn’t get all angst-y like Frodo does by the second movie. So to recap, over the past few days, I’ve learned that it goes hobbit, bear, human for me.

Tonight, we’re watching Big Fish, which Sam has never seen (Meri speaking now), and I'm hoping she'll love it as much as I think she will. Stayed tuned to see if we reach our ultimate goal!
