Flickday Friday

Life in Orlando just doesn't get any better when Kobfa's in town *looking at him with dreamy eyes*. Today we had plans to just enjoy a day at the movies. So....what does Savitre decide she wants to go see? G.I. JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA....NOT!!! :o) (not that I have anything against G.I. Joe)

However, in theaters today...Julie & Julia!




I normally don't frequent theaters just because I hate paying the overpriced movie tickets...but this movie was going to be special. Growing up in my generation WITHOUT Food Network, one can truly appreciate Julia Child along with:

JEFF SMITH

JUSTIN WILSON

GRAHAM KERR

and of course... MARTIN YAN

So, there we were at a Regal Cinnema in Winter Park. It was me, Kobfa, and a theater full of elderly ladies (those whom also appreciate the classic cookings of Julia Child). I have a short attention span at theaters and have even been known to fall asleep at some (must admit...I fell asleep through The Matrix). This time it was different...this time I had my tray of nachos (with cheese and EXTRA jalapenos *Ooooo-we*!!!)...and a super mega big gulp of lemonade on hand (a surprise I didn't have to take a bathroom break in the middle of the movie). I never once took my eyes off the movie. *two thumbs up*

Meryl Streep did an excellent job of portraying Julia Child. She was drop-dead hilarious. If you don't already love Julia Child...this movie will sure make ya! However, what interested me most was Julie Powell's blog. No doubt that when I got home, I had to search for her blog site.

TA DAH!!!.... here it is The Julie/Julia Project.

It made me wish I had a purpose to my blog. Some people blog about running, some people blog as a form of therapy. Me?!?!?....I blog for the sake of rambling on...hahaha (it's what I do best). I wish I had a mission...I wish I had a purpose for my blog...I too wish I had a "project".

So, if y'all out there have any ideas for me...please send them my way...please? :o)

Until then, I thank you avid readers for continually reading my blog...glad I can entertain! :o)

After Julie & Julia, Kobfa and I decided to pay Christina a visit at Gurtzberry. She looked so cute in jeans (it's AMAZING how people look so different out of their chef uniform). Usually when people say they work at a yogurt joint...I think...TCBY. But NO!!! Gurtzberry was definitely not a TCBY...their yogurt actually tasted like yogurt! It was DELISH!!! :o)

The establishment was tres (French for "very") cute as well. I loved the color scheme, fancy light fixtures, and IKEA-esque furnishings...very hip and modern!

BUT WAIT!!!....THERE'S MORE!! (told you I like to ramble on) *lol*

As the night grew darker...Kobfa and I drove to 1 Walmart and 4 Walgreens in search of a Redbox to rent some scary movies. I ALWAYS love a good scare (as long as I know I'm in a safe environment). $1/night for movies...where you can pause, go to the bathroom or replenish your drinks, or rewind because you couldn't understand what they were saying...now THAT'S my kind of moving going! WAIT!!...just remembered....we actually got these movies for free (clearly I'm a big cheapo)...if you plan to rent from Redbox...look online for coupon codes. Why pay a buck when you can get it for free? *wink wink*

Anyways, we ended up getting Dark Secrets and The Uninvited. Dark Secrets wasn't scary *bummed*....it was more of a mystery solving...I don't know what. But The Uninvited?!?!?....now THAT was good!! I love movies with great endings (and pizza from Papa Johns aint bad either)!

Now that your eyeballs have fallen out of head from reading this long post...I'll stop boring you until the next post! :o)

As Julia Child would say..."Bon Apetite" :o)
