Months ago my friend Becky and I went to see Adventureland. She was thinking it would be great, and I was thinking it would be HORRIBLE. Consequently, she was very disappointed, and I came out thinking it wasn't bad. Maybe that is the secret of life, to have low expectations...
It has been EXCESSIVELY hot here in PTown. Yesterday was an all time, record breaking high, and today is even hotter.* I went to the movies on Saturday because why turn on the AC at home when you know it will be on at the movie theater? I saw (500) Days of Summer and Away We Go. And while I don't want to set anyone's expectations of these films very high I want to say that I loved them both. I had a perpetual smile on my face through both films. Maybe you should watch them and enjoy them. I went in with high expectations, and I was absolutely not disappointed. So probably having low expectations is not the secret of life. Shucks, and I had it all figured out just a paragraph ago.
*For those of you unconvinced of global warming, I would submit Oregon as case in point, this winter 16 inches of snow in one day when so many years of my childhood were spent sans snow, and now this summer has been brutally hot - more extreme weather than ever before.

i'm hating on you for not reading any harry potter books right now...just fyi.
i haven't seen 500 days of summer, yet, but I loved away we go. i think it should set the bar for romantic comedies. sweet, funny, realistic, and boys even like it. everybody wins. plus, maya rudolph was over-the-top cute, and maggie gyllenhallllllll was ridiculously funny.
the movie was delicious; thanks for not raising my expectations :) i go through most of life with VERY low to no expectations...then when things go horribly, horribly wrong i just laugh it off 'cause hey, it's not like i had high expectations :)
