The other day, I was surfing around on Netflix trying to find something to add to my queue that didn’t involve the following: a TV series, action, suspense, Strawberry Shortcake. All I wanted was a nice, two-hourish flick that would make me happy. I wanted a friggin’ romantic comedy, people. And not one starring Jennifer Lopez (who ruined the genre, in my opinion…curse you J. Lo!). I ended up picking this independent film called “Take Me Home” and I just loved it. It’s about two strangers who end up driving a cab across the country, and while the plot won’t save the world, it just felt right to me. The writer / director / male lead is played by Sam Jaeger (who I loved in Eli Stone and currently love in Parenthood) and the female lead is his wife, Amber. Most of the movie is just the two of them in a cab, but they play so well against each other, it works. The other star of the film is the good ole USA. From New York through Kansas and on to the deserts of Nevada and the beaches of California, the landscape of the country is just stunning and really makes the film feel bigger than a little indie flick. The soundtrack is also pretty phenomenal. All in all, I highly recommend it.

Happy Friday, everybody! I hope your week has been awesome and full of fun things (#onefunthing). It’s a big weekend around here, tomorrow is Lucy’s first soccer game of the season. And for once, she’s actually nervous. It breaks my heart a little bit to watch her fret over how well she’ll play. Hopefully her nerves will settle after she gets on the field.
Here are some fun links to get you through your weekend:
– A video montage of all the impressions/accents Leslie Knope does in Parks & Recreation. I’ve said it a million times, Amy Poehler is a genius.
– I’m a horrible cook and don’t really love most cooking blogs (they make me sad I’m such a bad cook), but I’m so digging Bon Appetempt and her videos. Here they use all the coins her grandma sends her in the mail to make a dinner.
– The Glow features moms from all over the design world, and the photos are always beautiful. This feature on Leilani Bishop makes me think I should probably move to Hawaii. Probably.
– OK, that’s it! Too many people are doing awesome dinner en blanc parties…I demand one in KC! And also, I’d like an invite, please.
– This interview with Jessica King, a Wisconsin state senator, was so refreshing. I’m so over polarizing politics, and I hope more politicians like her get into office this year.
Take Me Home
