May 2008


(Hopefully you have heard of this one, Nici!!) We watched “Enchanted” with Patrick Dempsey and the redded headed chic who played Jim’s girlfriend and sold the purses on “The Office.” I forget her name. Anyways, it was a cute movie. It is totally a kid’s movie I think, but it was cute nonetheless. Glad we didn’t pay to see it in the theater. Next on our radar is “Juno.” Heard that was pretty good.

So, Jonathon and Andy Hillstrand (better known as the captains of the Time Bandit) from Discovery Channel’s “The Deadliest Catch” were in town. They were at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Legacy Village doing a book sign. So, we high tailed it up there and stood in line for 3 hours to meet and get our picture with the boys. We had a blast! And they were super cool. They signed our book and we got a great picture with. It was so neat to meet them!

We got our “economic stimulus” money. Thank you Mr. Bush for the free money!!!! We will take it and run!!

Do not bother renting “Hot Rod.” It is with Adam Samberg from Saturday Night Live. We watched the first half hour and turned it off. It was horrible. Not funny at all.

“Shrek 3″ was cute. I liked it. Nick wasn’t too impressed. It had a lot of cameos (i.e. John Krasinski, Justin Timberlake, Amy Pohler). It is worth renting.

Another one not to bother with is “V for Vendetta.” We thought it was going to be a lot of action. Not so much. It was more a love story that had a horrible end.

We also watched “Hot Fuzz.” It is with Simon Pegg who was in “Run Fatboy Run.” It had it’s funny parts, but not the funny British comedy we were hoping for. It’s worth renting.

Obama pulled out a win in North Carolina, while coming in close to Billary in Indiana. I am very relieved with these results. I was just listening to Tim Russert (he is a Cleveland Marshall Law School grad) and he said IT’S MATHMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for Billary to catch up to Obama. He said even if Michigan and Florida’s delegates are seated, Billary still can’t catch up with Obama. Yea!!!! Someone at work said Obama’s speech yesterday was amazing and basically was an acceptance speech of the nomination. Everywhere I hear and read that it’s just a formality for Billary now. As someone said at work today “Who’s going to step down first – Hillary or Marc Dann?”. Hopefully it’s Billary, but Dann needs to go as well. What a sleaze ball. Anyways, back to my boyfriend. I hope that the next six primaries go Obama’s way and Billary sees the writing on the wall and seps down. From now on I will wait for the news break stating that Billary is stepping down. Then Obama can concentrate on November and beating McLame.

Go Obama, you are the breath of fresh air this country needs.

I fear that you are losing your power. Rev. Wright really messed you up. Polls in Indiana are showing Billary way ahead. I don’t even want to see the polls from North Carolina. Edwards is from there and I read somewhere that he leans more toward Billary. I fear North Carolina will follow their senator. I really want you to win. We need you to win. However, I really feel and fear that Billary is going to beat you. She has preyed upon the Rev. Wright situation and it didn’t help that Rev. Wrights is speaking out. Gas is now $3.59 and Donato’s Pizza says that if you bring in a gas reciept you will get what you paid per gallon off your total bill. When pizza places are doing this kind of promo you know things are bad.

Gosh, this really stinks. I have heard you speak twice and I really listened to you. My sister and mom voted for you and they were going for Billary. You changed the minds of them, but you need to change the minds of much more people. I am really saddened by this whole situation. You spoke of hope and change and we so badly need that right now. Bush is in complete denial about the economy. What does he not see or understand??? Oh, that’s right, he doesn’t pay for groceries, gas, electricity, clothing, etc. Thus, he doesn’t care.

Come on, Obama. Pull through this. We need you to. You are the first candidate that has opened my eyes. You got my sister excited. You are awesome. No matter what they say, I still believe in you. I know that doesn’t mean much, but it’s all that I have.

Thank you,

Becca
