Karolyn's Wedding!

-
So we were going to go to three or four bridal shops to look at dresses, but the first one we went to… the first dress Karolyn put on… she bought. Omg. It’s ivory and very pretty. It’s very Rami from Project Runway – draping got really dull on that show after awhile but it’s still uber pretty. And the lady that helped us was nice and helpful. She also got shoes! Hooray for wedding things!!!

You Love Me [by Caroline Kepnes]

 When You  was published, it was like nothing I had ever read before, or since, for that matter. I was in the head of Joe Goldberg, an obsessive murdering stalker who made you root for him. And it was amazing. So amazing, that Netflix optioned it and made it into a series, which is equally amazing even if it doesn't follow the book plot the way all of us book nerds would like. Then Caroline Kepnes [who you should really be following on Twitter because she's hilarious] wrote a follow-up, also starring Joe Goldberg, titled Hidden Bodies . Because the first book was so amazing, I had high hopes for the second, which is usually disappointing. And this was too - the book was great, but not as great as the first, and I figured this is where the series would end. The writing was great but the plot was a little too fantastical. But I'm a huge fan of Kepnes, so when You Love Me , the third in the installment, was announced, I of course pre-ordered on Amazon because even if it was ba...

The Girl on the Train

Sometimes you read a book you loved and then almost immediately forget everything you just read. Sometimes you read a book you hated and remember it forever. When I read The Girl on the Train , I had to tell everyone how great it was. It was before I read Gone Girl and realized there is an actual genre of "psychological-thrillers-where-you-have-no-idea-what's-happening-and-then-it-gets-awesome-and-the-ending-is-crazy" - it's a thing. Anyway, the problem became that whenever I tried to tell anyone what it was about, that was the only way I could describe it. I couldn't tell anyone what it was really about because then they would know and the book wouldn't be amazing for them. Not that I don't like spoilers - I do, probably too much - but in this case if I knew the ending ahead of time, I wouldn't have cared as much while I was reading it and trying to figure out what happened. Then, inexplicably, I completely forgot the entire book. I couldn't re...

Movies I Saw Yesterday

-
Last night, Ryan and I watched Ninja Assassin and The Final Destination and here are my thoughts. Both of the films had pretty bad dialogue and were a bit overdramatic, but they were both enjoyable and fun to watch. Ninja Assassin was particularly awesome, especially because you could kind of tell their operating budget probably wasn’t very high. Matrix-like effects, sweet fight choreography, it was great. It was a bit gory for my taste – it would have been just as good without the random spurting blood and decapitations and grossness. But it didn’t really detract from it – after awhile you got used to it. But see the movie if you get the chance – of course, it was predictable, like any movie like this is, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t great. And seriously, who doesn’t love a good ninja movie? As for The Final Destination, which is the fourth and final one in the series, it was definitely better than I expected. The third one was pretty awful, but the second one has always been one o...
