Up in the Air
- by Brittney
My brother is currently reading a map of Germany to me. Way too much fun to handle. We’re waiting to go to the airport to take off to sunny Miami (with a connecting flight in Atlanta– 1. I hate layovers. 2. I have never been to Atlanta and was all YOU’RE SO WRONG when NPH told me that’s most likely where we’d be connecting so now I owe him like a quarter or something.)
I’m not a huge candy bar/ chocolate fan, but if I had to choose, Twix bars are pretty boss. I had a slight obsession with them as a child. This may or may not have been a factor in my moderate childhood obesity.
OH so after the shiteous time I had in the theater watching It’s Complicated, Papa K and T-Bone took me out to a boss fancy dinner AND a movie the next night (yes, it really is great to be me.) We saw Up in the Air which I liked about a bajillion times better. It was visually clean, the story made sense, the whole message was you need a partner in life because “Think of your favorite memories– were you alone?” My parents weren’t exactly as big of fans as I was. Dad said he knew people who would legitimately leave the theater and straight up want to kill themselves. I suppose for people who’ve spent their lives trying to find a “copilot” (the movie was about flying? Life partner = copilot? GET IT?!) or had one then lost them it would be a mondo sobfest. But for moi, a strapping young buck in the prime of her youth, I thought it was very inspirational like YEA! Life partner! I’m gonna go out and find my lifemate. Also, George Clooney is increasingly hotter as he gets older. That blonde chick from The Departed is in it who I’m sorry but is not that attractive. Also, the really funny guy from The Hangover is in it for like two minutes in the beginning. So TWO THUMBS UP from this one.
Also, at dinner beforehand, I had creme brulee for dessert. Holy tummyache-inducing awesomeness. I’ve had it once before, I believe the term I coined was “dessert mayonnaise.” (I don’t even like mayo, it’s just a delicious creamy white consistency… upon further thought, I’m going to change the subject now.)
Collectively as a family we’re hoping there is a Waffle House near our hotel tomorrow morning.
