I babysat tonight. While not quite as exciting as the idea of going to see Mamma Mia, I haven't started working yet, and that means I haven't started getting paid yet.
Anyways, there was nothing on TV, as usual. Finally I found Something's Gotta Give. I thought I had never seen it, but I think I have. And it's a cute movie. I love Jack Nicholson, and I generally like Diane Keaton. However, I remembered why I didn't thoroughly enjoy this movie the first time through...the scenes when Diane Keaton's character is back in her beach house and is sobbing and finally writing something are painful to get through. It's incredibly over the top, and not in the 'making a statement' or 'make it a choice, not a mistake' kind of way. If it had been one of those two options, and had been done well, I would have appreciate it, but this was just outrageously stupid. Of course, you may disagree and think that I'm a snot, so I'll step off my high horse now.
After that I turned on Saturday Night Live, which I rarely watch, although I wish I watched it more often. It was the Weekend Update part (of a re-run I think), and Amy Poehler and whoever the guy is did a "Weekend Update: Really? with Amy and Ryan". And they went through and said statements mocking whatever b.s. politician they had just reported on by repeating something and adding "really?!?" at the end.
Of course normally you'd think 'I know deet is a terrible blogger, but why would she recap SNL for us?!?", and I agree, however this is interesting to me because adding "really?!?!?!" to the end of things when I'm in complete shock, awe, disgust, or something of a situation or person or action is something I've been doing for at least 18 months. Man, I wish I had been the one to present it to SNL...then I wouldn't be resorting to babysitting to have spending money...

I love it when Seth and Amy do the "Really?" segment! Like the one with Michael Vick!
