Giggles all around

Hey Kids!

This is a pewter statue at the Rock and Roll McDonalds. I have had 3 nightmares about this face since I took this picture. Sweet dreams dear readers.


Oh, if you have a chance, check out the sweet improv of Counterproductive Lover!



They play at the CiC theater on Irving. Do yourself a favor and check them out. The show in this picture involved a toilet that travels through time. Enough said.


I think I might make a separate blog that just contains terrible pictures of my friend Jill.

Here she is after having devoured 2 plates of cheese fries, some potato skins, mac and cheese, a Ceasar salad, and a sandwich. I would be really embarrassed if I were her.


She also has a temper.



And finally, a shout-out to Elisabeth who mentioned my blog in person the other day. Elisabeth is absolutely hilarious, you can check her out in the group Cornwalis. Sometimes they play with Counterproductive Lover, so you can kill two funny birds with one chuckle stone.

Rollin' High Class

Yeah, We are kind of a big deal. Chrissy and I got to see a Bulls game in one of the "Executive Suites" at the United Center. (Chrissy calls it a Loge Box, that may be a common term but I think she is making it up.)


Courtesy of Mr. Joe Swinko (Chrissy's Dad) and LaSalle Bank we were treated to free food and beverage, as well as sweet seats to a Bulls Game.




The game was pretty lame though, the Bulls are not in contention for the Playoffs, plus they lost the game by 20 points. However I was determined to get an awesome mid-air shot with my camera, it took me about 30 shots or so but I finally got it.


Ive actually never been to a Bulls game, but now I can never go again. Once you experience a game in the "Loge" Box, normal stadium seats just don't cut the mustard.

Movie Emotions

The is a vulnerable time for me. Why? Because Jackie Chan is about to fight Jet Li.

When I was told last year that this was going to happen in a movie I was ELATED

When I read online that the movie was going to be American-made I was WORRIED

Now, after seeing the previews I am DEPRESSED

Why do Americans have to mess up perfectly awesome Kung Fu, huh?

I will still go in hopes that a miracle will happen...

I am also worried about the New Indiana Jones movie...

The same exact emotional roller coaster! Let me off this thing!

Well at least there is one thing that we can all take some solace in:

Mystery Movie

Im not sure if i have made mention of Mystery Movies on my blog yet. Well if not, settle in for some excitement. If so, settle in for some classic reruns.

Anyway, Sean and I have a thing we do, let's call it a "Mystery Movie". The rules are simple: Player A picks a movie and doesn't tell Player B what it is. Then we go to the movie in question. Player A pays for the tickets and Player B keeps his/her head down and avoids figuring out what the movie is. So Basically, Player B does not know what the movie is until the opening credits (sometimes even later).

The first Mystery Movie was one that I picked and the reaction Sean had when the opening title of "Brokeback Mountain" popped up was priceless.

We have played Mystery Movie a lot since then. And most have been good movies (28 weeks later, Superman) mainly because we both have to watch the movie, so picking something outright bad is a problem for both participants.

However, yesterday Sean won the game forever. We went to AMC 600 on Michigan after having dinner at Fados. So we were full and a little tipsy.



He had me keep my head down and wouldn't even let me be near him when he bought the tickets. We walked into the theater during previews. The preview part is the best part of the process, because sometimes you will see a preview for a movie that you thought it might be, therefore eliminating it from your guess pool. So basically I had no idea what I was in for...

Then a title appeared "A Tyler Perry Production" and I literally GUFFAWED. He took me to go see "Meet the Browns"! I immediately leaned over and quietly called him a couple expletives, but I settled in to watch what I was expecting to be a Preachy, Christian, Pro-Family-Values movie. I KNEW I was going to hate it...

Well, I was way wrong. It was really really funny. There were some really hilarious and suprising things that happen in that movie. I mean, it is definitely very Christian, but it was so funny that it didn't come off as preachy at all. I actually loved it...


So I totally recommend it. Every reviewer seems to hate it, but this might be that little gem that only a select lucky few know about.

Oh and we also did this:


I wonder what our next movie will be...

Goofy and fun

Here is another thing Chrissy and I made...


Ridiculous!

Overlooked and Ommitted

Recently I have left out some important blog things:

Way back in December when I went home for Christmas, I got to spend time with my aunt Dee Dee, and she mentioned my blog in person. Which gets her a picture and special mention on my blog.



I don't play favorites in my family at all, but Dee Dee is pretty great. She is also published... Maybe she can post a link to her book in my comment section.

Also,

My friends Kara and Drew went to Bi-Bop (a Korean restaurant previously mentioned on my blog) based on my recommendation and they loved it.

Here they are at a Canadian convenience store. At least I'm pretty sure that's Drew in the background.

Now for some pictures that I will misrepresent with my words.

Sean and I have taken up modeling as a hobby. I hope it works out.

Jill is very annoyed at Anthony for a negative comment he made about the state of Michigan.

Anthony, Jill and Chip are actually not posing for this picture at all, this is how they naturally situate themselves in life. They call it the perfect triangle of friendship. However, Jill still seems annoyed with Anthony (I hope they work it out).


And FINALLY!!!!

Chrissy and me preparing for a road trip:
