This desk lamp has a place on my desk…  Of course, I could always put it under my kid’s racecar bed…!

The first psychological thriller movie of 2009 worth paying multiplex prices for at a student discount, The Uninvited features chillingly supernatural and well made up apparitions, a sharp cast, and a breathtaking plot that reminds you that remakes can be done right. Adapted from the Korean horror film Janghwa Hongryeon, the story centers around a teenager named Anna who is forced to adapt to her new family situation after an accident that changed her life. Attempting to recover from the tragic loss of her mother, she spends time in a psychological facility only to be released back to her party-go-lucky sister and confidante, a grieving yet insensitive father, and his father’s mysterious new girlfriend. When she returns to her astoundingly beautiful waterfront residence, she feels something terribly wrong within the house. Convinced that her father’s new girlfriend, Rachel, is the troubling presence, she desperately tries to put together the events that happened the night of the accident and uncover just who Rachel is. As the plot unfolds, the musical score peaks, and the ghosts reveal themselves, you’ll find yourself curling up in your date’s jacket to hide from the suspense.

David Grohl and I have a love/hate relationship.  I loved him in Nirvana until Kurt died, it escalated with the Foos’ The Colour and The Shape, and promptly burned out with the release of  There’s Nothing Left to Lose.  We courted briefly with One by One and split again for the first year after In Your Honour. After a few social disagreements that he couldn’t drop, dating back to 2001 (namely Alive and Well), I turned my back on him for good.  He came back to me with his grungy, punk attitude that I love so much with Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace and last night, he surprised me again by supporting same-sex marriage (therefore, rectifying his previous social disobedience.)

The white ribbon is a symbol from the organization whiteknot, who sports the slogan “Everybody should have the right to tie the knot.”

Dave rocks.

Darth Baby

Is this a cake FAIL or a cake win?  Depends on if you are having the baby girl.   Check out the cherub baby face, baby bottle, flowers and frilly little ribbons on a pastel rainbow outer space background!  You know Vader is the most kickass villain of all time when he can hold a baby and still be awesome.

Darth Vader is definitely butter cream because there’s no way in hell anything in this universe has him whipped.

Thanks to Philibuster who made this great find and swore to make it for me if I ever decide I want to have children again (Can you just make it for me without having the baby?).
