… to see 27 Dresses.

I kid, I cannot come up with 27 reasons.
I saw the film this evening and even though it’s another generic feel-good (supposedly) chick flick which is completely predictable in every way, it was still a great film, and I had a good time.
It was funny, it was cute, and the cheese was on a well balanced level.
Katherine Heigl did a great job with her character. I saw her in ‘Knocked Up’ and thought she was pretty good in that too. I will however, always see her as Isabelle from Roswell (of which I have a boxset of.. where she plans her wedding with military accuracy like in 27 Dresses ).

The worst thing about the film: James Marsden’s hair! The guy is really cute… but his hair was so bad in the movie. I can’t help but make a remark on it
The best thing was… how I now feel that I could perhaps go to 27 weddings and not feel like I’m going to be a spinster forever. Yeah..I’m only 20, but I’m realistic, and I’m not stupid either

I would definitely recommend the film to all my female friends =) (and any males who secretly can’t wait to fall in love and get married).

Today was one of our occasional visits to the midlands to visit my Aunt and Grandparents. This means a lovely 3 hour drive (sometimes its 4 when there is holiday traffic) and I hate long drives.
We went in ‘our’ new Volvo, which is actually a large estate car my Dad has on lease due to the maintainence costs of his previous car. It’s pretty nifty, it tells you if the seatbelts are on or if the doors aren’t shut properly etc. I had fun un-clicking my seatbelt during the trip to make a mini alarm sound on the dashboard. Of course, they still haven’t perfected giving an ample amount of leg room, thus I have had creaky knees today. My sister has no right to complain that she can’t stretch out, she’s half a foot shorter than I am…but she will anyway.

My Aunt Jenny is my dad’s sister, and her husband is called Francis, and he’s a marathon runner by April, Geography teacher by…past… he’s now retired. They spend most of their time on holiday somewhere, mostly Antigua. They have 5 daughters, all of them are blonde and look alike. The eldest is 30, while the youngest is 2 days younger than my sister. I am still the ‘baby’ of the family
My Grandparents are my Dad’s parents, and my Grandma is very traditional and …kinda old fashioned in her views. My Granddad is deaf and was in the Navy during the war…a ‘Leftenant Commander’ according to my birthday cheques
I don’t get to see them much.
