Bradley Cooper, Yes PLEASE

Yesterday I had the chance to see Limitless and The Lincoln Lawyer. While both were great, I have to say Limitless was not only my favorite because I am obsessed with this man :

but also because the cinematography and concept were refreshing and unique. Who would want to take a pill that would give you access to the full use of your brain? I WOULD. HELL YES I WOULD.

If I were on that pill right at this minute, I would be fluent in Italian, I would be an excellent piano player from all the lessons I attempted in my youth, I would be able to TEACH that macroecon class I failed, I would be able to actually read my history textbook without falling asleep AND find it interesting, and I would be able to actually, for the first time,  take control of my dog from all the Cesar Milan episodes I have watched...hell I could BE Cesar Milan.  

OK yes according to the movie there are downsides to the pill, namely not taking it BUT if one was taking it, then they presumably would be smart enough to procure a lifetime supply by learning how to mold the electrons to the neutrons to the protons and then fit it to the brantrons in your headtron without causing a heap ton of problems. 

So in conclusion, vote YES for the pill that makes everyone smart and rich. Not only because I endorse it, but because this man does too:

Go see this movie. GO right now. GET UP AND GO. SERIOUSLY. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yes it is REALLY that good.

As far as Lincoln Lawyer goes, it was an interesting story. Matthew McConaughey was actually good ( I am not a big fan of his Johnny One Note approach to acting). I was disappointed Marisa Tomei and William H. Macy weren't used much as they were the best actors in the whole shebang. Ryan Phillippe did what he does best-play a stuck up rich boy with a constant quivering lip. GET OVER YOURSELF. OK fine he might be a nice guy in real life but really...stop picking the same part. OK yes this part may have had some levels and...um...interesting quirks (I'm not going to spoil it) but it was still the basic same character, dark and twisted with lots of money from mommy. (Is that you, Cruel Intentions?) Overall, it is good movie. Go see it to be entertained.  

Goodnight blog land. May you dream of lovely things and Bradley Cooper

The Search For Switzerland

Let me preface this by saying that I work at a pretty fabulous department store, which I LOVE and the majority of our customers, the majority of the time, are usually wonderful and fun. However, within the past couple of weeks, it seems our loyal and wonderful customers are going through a phase equivalent to either the terrible two's or teenage, for example 

 On one particularly busy evening, a woman, her sister, and the woman's daughter/monkey came into my department.  It seems this woman had a preconceived notion that she looked like this... 

....when actually she looked like this....

.... and because she thought she was Victoria Beckham (complete with the hair cut and the sour smirk), she preceded to pose in the mirror for 30 MINUTES while her 3 year old daughter/monkey climbed on EVERY DISPLAY in my department while the mother's sister (read: aunt) chased her around like a crazy woman.  After she finished posing, she (finally) began picking out clothes. THANK GOD she was a 0  (her words...) so she didn't have to try ANYTHING on! But OH, that one tank top that we have three X-Smalls in on the rack wouldn't do. She needed the X-Small in the very same color and style, that was on the mannequin (which was on top of the tallest display in the store and in which to reach, I had to get a ladder from the backroom) because it was already fitted to HER body. (She really said all this...really). Finally after 20 minutes to the sound of taping Tory Burch black patent flats and a completely rearranged department due to the little rambunctious monkey, I got the tank top off of the headless and armless mannequin. 30 more minutes past and she finally had four appropriate outfits for her ski trip to some magical country called Switzerland in a mysterious land named Europe. Yes, I asked her where she was going and her exact words were "Switzerland (pause) it's in Europe." REALLY?! 

Needless to say I ended that night feeling alittle like this.....

Goodnight blog land, may all your dreams come true. I'm off to figure out where this dadgum place called Switzerland is....
