Colin Firth Movie Night

This man is hot sex.

Tonight was the second installment of Colin Firth Movie Night. (I missed the first. A Single Man. But of course I've seen it. It's a movie about a gay man. With Colin Firth!) We watched Bridget Jones' Diary. I used to feel embarrassed about telling people I liked this movie. But tonight I realized that if you watch it with girls, it's totally legit to love it to pieces. Watching it is like watching some sort of sophisticated British porn. And it's always fun to watch a movie with someone who has never seen it. How Beth had never seen it I will never understand.

This year is the year of the Firth, and the afirthionados are going to watch all the Firth that Netflix will allow. Next time: Love, Actually (another favorite Firth flick).

Next year shall be the year of Johnny Depp.

Lomo Little Rock

I have a lomography camera I rarely use. Because it's hard as hell and devilishly expensive. But every once in a while I break it out. These are some photos from a day trip to Little Rock last year.

Baby Names I Hate

Recently, it seems like everyone I've ever met is having a child. Which is fine. What is not fine is the fact that they are making up names for these children. They think they are cute and creative and fancy, but in 22 years when this kid wants to get a job and can't because you named him Atrium, I'm guessing he's going to be a little pissed. And so, I've assembled what I call "New Wave Baby Names That I Hate."

Chesney (I hope her middle name isn't Kenny.)
Cason
Kaedon
Jayden (Like so many things, I wasn't following you on this, Britney.)
Chava
Westley
Tripp and/or Trigg (Callin' you out, Palins.)
Cabella (I bet she'll one day have a brother named Bass Pro.)
Kyler
Nevaeh (This is "heaven" spelled backwards. Yeah...)

This is only a preliminary list. Expect it to grow and grow.
