Cup Crazy !!!!!

 Let's discuss a pop culture phenomenon that has turned into something that cannot be contained and it is driving me NUTS!! It's the cup song or " Cups" as it's formally called. 

Now I want to start by saying that I'm a fan of Anna Kendrick and Pitch Perfect was BEYOND awesome. Howeverthe cup song is now all over the place and I cannot seem to go anywhere without hearing it or seeing someone between the ages of 10 and 22 trying to form that popular rythem with their glass at a restaurant or online ( in one of the million copycat YouTube videos). Please everyone there are valid and substantial reasons why this MUST STOP...

 

1. Your attempt does not sound the same. Anna had a long time to practice and that heavy glass you're using from "The Cheesecake Factory" is not the right prop

2. Please understand that this is not the first song to be accompanied by a cup. Not sure which one came first but in my opinion it was done better by two young sisters (Lennon and Maisy) who later went on to co-star in the awesome show "Nashville" . Please clock this link to check out their awesomeness...http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/lennon-maisy-live-youtube/id555053161

3. You're killing the awesomeness that could have been this catchy quirky song that had a cup as it's main accompanying instrument. Please understand just because something is cool and different doesn't mean everyone has to learn to do it. That's how quirky turns to catchy, which turns into annoying and then finally it lands in the ' not even good enough for American Idol' pile. 

So please everyone give the cup song a rest. 

Aca-STOP!!

Don WHAT?!?!?!

Movie-goer BEWARE !! I mean that in the 'make sure that you talk to someone who has seen the random movie written, and starring a celebrity you're not sure if you like yet' kind of way.

I saw "Don Jon". You know, the one written and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Well I went with the BF and we were both looking forward to seeing it but goodness gracious neither of us were expecting what we encountered. It was like soft porn or something.

It's about a guy who is addicted to porn and his struggles in trying to hold a serious relationship while keeping that addiction secret.  I guess I kind of knew that info before I saw it but I didn't expect so much nudity and/or graphic footage. I mean I kind of liked Joseph Gordon-Levitt ( long name that's kind of annoying to say right? But he grew up to be sort of a looker so the name...eeehhh not so bad anymore) but when I saw this I just left the theatre confused and not sure what to think.

I just would like to warn anyone who may or may not watch this movie in the near future. Do not expect a regular movie with like a conclusion or anything cause you'll probably be disappointed and wonder why the theatre (or RedBox) charged you full price.

I'm still shaking my head...

Organized Chaos

Long time no see! I have been a busy bee this past week. My closest friend since the 3rd grade got married this past Friday and I was a bridesmaid. The wedding was beautiful and the reception was a blast! Having been in quite a few weddings recently I am learning how to pace myself for those long days and this time I think I finally got the routine down. I didn't stay up late the night before. I made my hair apt early enough that morning so I wasn't running late and I didn't forget anything I needed at home ( for me that's a HUGE accomplishment). I was then able to enjoy my friends day and let it all be about her and she was simply a beautiful bride!

Then on Saturday I had a 2 part day...

Part 1:

My friend Jenn made brunch and invited me and the BF over for some delish food! Now let me start by saying that she is a chef so it wasn't just any ole spread it was THE SPREAD. I mean she had fruit, eggs, bagels, cinnamon raison bread, muffins this DELISH pumpkin butter spread stuff ( not really butter that's just what they call it thank goodness) and best of all she had ...

                                                                   CANDIED BACON!

It was absolutely DELISH! Its bacon covered in black pepper and brown sugar! I know... I know... it sounded strange to me at first but once I tasted it I was hooked! It was a great time hanging out with her, her hubby, and her new baby. Lots of laughs and a great way to wind down from the day before.

Part 2:

I'm not sure if you have been to this restaurant that I'm about to name but if you haven't please make it a point to go.

 

FOGO DE CHAO!!!

 

This place is a Brazilian steakhouse where the salad bar is insane, the sides are DELISH, and the meat is never ending. I try not to brag about restaurants because I know everyone has their own taste. Plus I would hate to send someone to a place where they spend their money and don't enjoy the food, but with this place you can't go wrong!  You flip your disk to green and they bring you out as much meat as you can handle ( 12 different varieties...some of it is even wrapped in bacon!!!) then you flip it to red when you're done or want to take a break then flip it back when you're ready to pig out again. Best restaurant I've ever been to and I wholeheartedly recommend it.  

 

Here's just a taste...

 

So overall my weekend was a smashing success. It was hectic, chaotic and I didn't get much time to sit and relax but it was certainly the best weekend I've had in a long time. I hope you had a good weekend too! What were you up to?
