Mission Impossible.. not bad, actually

So yesterday the Mother in Law took the Kid for the night. It was an awesome thing to do and it gave the Husband and I a chance to watch a film. We decided on Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation for the sole reason that part of the film was filmed in Vienna and that is just awesome. There is definitely a sense of pride I feel for my adoptive country when it is shown in a positive light.

We met for a drink before the film and I kept fanning myself, annoyed at this non-stop heatwave. The Husband was like "Gosh, I hope it isn't too cold in the theater." Activate death stare. We bought some popcorn and took our seats. Previews are my favourite thing ever. I kept saying "Oooh, want to watch that." or "Oh GOD NO! NEVER!"  The film started and I was hooked. It was fun and wild and hats off to Tom Cruise for obviously bathing in virgin blood. Say what you will about the Tom and his religious persuasion, but the man is impressive. I also can't believe the stunts that he did and bravo to him for choosing the female lead. Holy crap. AMAZING! A female lead in her 30's?!?! Why, that is madness! I kept thinking how much she looked like Ingird Bergman and when I went home and googled her, I found out she is Swedish. You make pretty people, Sweden. It was a fast-paced film and both the Husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And the opera house looked great. I act like I built the damn place. And I yes, I was attracted to the bad bad creepy villain. I can't help it. I like the creep factor. I am ashamed.

The only crap thing about last night was that the film blacked out three times. I was not amused. Otherwise it was a great time. We stopped at Swing Kitchen for a later dinner and then headed home for a good night sleep. I woke up at 6 and the Husband was like "I thought you were going to sleep in!" and I was like "I did!" but then at 7:00, I opened up all the windows (finally a breeze!) and slept for another couple of hours. Bliss. I am back from Spin Class (what an insane workout. Love.it) and the Husband is bringing the Kid back. The rest of the weekend will be chill and we will be cleaning, crafting and watching the TV. Hurrah for quiet weekends! HURRAH, I say!

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi

A Tova Movie Re-cap: Bram Stoker's Dracula

You all like that I am reviewing films that are over 20 years old, right? I'm like Grandpa Simpson. Today's post is a re-cap of one of my all time favourite Halloween movies EVER. And it isn't just a Halloween movie.. it is so much more. It is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. I remember exactly when I saw this film for the first time. We were at my Godmother's cottage in Quebec and my parents and I and my brother headed to the video store. I stood in front of this VHS cover and stared and stared (that's how I would let my parents know I wanted something back in the day. I was not allowed to beg for toys so in my brilliant infantile wisdom, I concocted a full proof plan. I would stand in front of a toy (probably a My Little Pony) and stare and stare and stare. I was subtle. I still do this today at jewelry stores.) I was 12 years old at the time and had graduated from being fascinated with witches to vampires. Puberty, guys. I was OBSESSED wi

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol".
