Things I loved about the weekend...

1. Snow - so pretty! Here's the little snowman I made. He was about 10 inches tall and melted by the next morning. Oh well!
2. Red Velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting from 3 Wishes Bakery. Sooo tasty!

3. Spending some quality time with my roomies in the snow and watching movies in our nice, warm living room.

4. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. I've really been into young adult literature lately and this movie was a good adaptation from the book by Rick Riordan. Enjoyable if you haven't read the books and close enough to the book for those that have read it.

5. Brunch at Sun in My Belly. French toast with bananas foster. Tasty, tasty. AND with the Scoutmob app for my iphone our meal was 40% off. Have you checked out Scoutmob yet?? It's great! My BF and I see no reason in going anywhere without a Scoutmob deal.


Hope you had a lovely weekend. Happy Valentine's Day!

Where the Wild Things Are

Anyone else going to see the movie at midnight??? Maybe I'll see you there. :)

Have a good evening!

10 things we love about...

...a free movie!!!

What free movie you say? Paper Heart at the Landmark theater in Midtown. Now for the list:

1. Free = $0
2. Entertainment for an otherwise boring Wednesday evening
3. Driving past The Chocolate Bar and learning that Wednesday is Ladies Night ($5 martinis!!!)
4. Sneaking in coconut almond chocolate clusters from Trader Joe's
5. Being on the "press list" and having reserved seating for an otherwise packed theater
6. Meeting Matt from Overture Films who was nice enough to invite us (thanks for being a loyal reader Matt!)
7. Watching the people in front of us pull out homemade sandwiches, popcorn, and juice boxes that they snuck into the movie. The only thing missing was the picnic basket
8. The movie's creative puppet shows
9. The awkward chemistry between Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi
10. Date night with my roommate. Love her. :)

Ok...a few more.
11. They have a MASH game on the website for the movie!!! This used to fill hours and hours of class time all through middle and high school. Sweet!!
12. The soundtrack which should be pretty awesome.
13. The movie. We enjoyed it. It's good! Cute, sweet, awkward, funny, relatable, and guys you probably enjoy it as well.

Thanks to J roommate for the help on the post and once again thanks to Matt for the invite.

Go see Paper Heart!!

Paper Heart

Thanks to a lovely invite from Matt at Overture Films I'm headed out for a fun movie screening tomorrow night with my lovely roommate. J Fox decided she wanted to head to California instead of going to see a movie with me. How rude! (I'm channeling my inner Stephanie Tanner).

Check out the trailer for Paper Heart here.

I'll let you know what I think of it. I'm expecting good things and am sure that Michael Cera and Charlyne Yi will deliver.

Until we meet again,
J Squirrel
