Nanny Diaries

A few years ago I read the book The Nanny Diaries.  Despite some language I didn't appreciate much, I really enjoyed this book and it was one I couldn't put down.  I love the style in which it was written and I found it very funny.

While I was out of the country for a time, it turns out they made it into a movie.  I forgot all about wanting to watch it until last night.  I watched it on tvshack.net (you can watch movies and tv shows for free!).

 I was a little wary because Scarlett Johansen is in it and I don't care much for her typically slutty roles....but I was actually surprised because it turned out to be pretty clean.  They left out a lot of hilarious parts from the book and they could have done a better job of showing just how much Mrs. X took advantage of Nanny...but whatever. 

Chris Evans played the Hayden the "Harvard Hottie".  Makes me want to move back east and find my own! ;)

"You are my exception"

Oh to hear those four words.....sigh.  Haha.

So I FINALLY saw that movie, "He's Just Not That Into You".  And yeah, I may have pulled a GiGi here and there.  And yes, I DO understand now, if the guy is interested he'll call, if he's not, he won't.  A few of my favorite parts:

* When GiGi was so convinced whats-his-face was interested in her and she goes in for the kiss and then he's like "what the heck?!" and then she storms out saying that even if she read the signs wrong at least she is closer to finding someone than he is because she allows herself to "feel" (something like that)  BOO-YAH!

*When Mary is talking about how she misses the old days when people had one phone number with one machine that had one little tape that either had a message on it or not and how frustrating it is to end up getting rejected by 7 different technologies!  haha.

*Where the married lady goes crazy and is throwing her scumbag cheating husband's clothes down the stairs....and then when bumface cheating husband gets home it shows the clothes and shoes neatly piled on the steps, color coded and in vacuum sealed packs.  (OCD! haha)

*When Ben Affleck's character (who doesn't believe in marriage) hides a ring in the pants Jennifer Aniston's character hates and is going to throw out, and he tells her to check the pockets first at least and then he proposes and says he just wants to make her happy and that if she's not happy he has absolutely no chance at being happy.  (Aw, cute)

So I came across a blog where someone was like "I believe in the 3 date rule"...as in, it takes at least 3 dates to give someone a fair chance before deciding to keep going or not.  Hmm...anyone agree?  I've been given a death sentence after one date (ending with, "keep in touch"....uh huh....okay!) and also the 3 date chance (led on and then dropped without forewarning.....  Everyone is different I guess!  Isn't it exciting!  You never know what you're gonna get!!!
