Happy birthday Derek! I got you man. But seriously, Fred Claus? Do you not love yourself enough to go see a good movie on your birthday? Me personally, I had a good day. I went and had lunch with my Grandma cause yesterday was her birthday; we had Red Lobster. Lobster bisque is the shit, fucking love that stuff. Then I went to the first ODU basketball game of the year. They got up by a lot, pissed it away at the start of the second half, but managed to get back up by a good bit and get the win. Junior Lidande had 20 points including 6 three's. He just looked locked in; good for him, he's a nice guy. I don't know what it is about the "Ice Cream and Cake" song they play at the games. Part of you is thinking, this is the dumbest fucking song I've ever heard, but the other part of you is dancing going, Ice cream and cake, gimme some ice cream and cake, ice cream and cake, gimme some ice cream and cake. I don't know how they do it but it's amazing. After the game Ashleigh was nice enough to come with me and see Lars and the Real Girl. I've been wanting to see this movie for like five months and when it came out in theaters a month ago, but wasn't playing here, I was pissed. I guess it all worked out cause I got to see it on my birthday and it was amazing. Seriously, this is instantly one of my all-time favorite movies. They almost got me to cry, almost, if I had a little less willpower, I'd have been reaching for tissue. They did get Ashleigh. The only word proper enough to describe this movie is adorable. That is the most adorable movie I've ever seen. It was awkward and preposterous and perplexing and so completely and utterly sweet. The acting was just amazing. Every single one of the main actors was perfect. Ryan Gosling is just damn good at what he does. The writing was phenomenal; "We brought casseroles." How do you write something that simple and that profound? I'm jealous. I'm still trying to figure out how the director took me from laughter to sympathy without me even being aware of it. You want to laugh the whole first part of the movie but at a certain point you can't becasue it'd be cruel. Go see this movie. I can't really say that any more clearly. If you don't love it and find it to be the most adorable thing ever you're dead inside.
