More pop culture postings.

So Laura and I ditched the world to go see Eagle Eye tonight. Conversation in the car on the way home:
E: Seriously, Oscar the freaking Grouch could wear one of those wool winter coats and I would think he was hot. I love them.
L: Whatever. The plotline for that movie was SO DUMB. The fact that ********* was the *** *** was so, so stupid. I can think of a million other movies where that is the plotline.
E: Like what other movies?
L: Remember when Tartraz (yes that is what we refer to her as) did this post on Shia and I wanted to lick the screen? That was amazing. I need to go look at that post again when I get home.
E: Ooooh, me too. How did the girl in that movie always have really red lips?
And it goes on...


Yeah, we get distracted kind of easily.

Confession time..

So for those of you who know me well, you know that I am very critical of all things movies/tv/books. Most of the movies I see in the theater I think are stupid, yet I continue to go and see them. 8/10 times I hate the movie. But I am a sucker for punishment..

I finally decided to watch the Grey's new episode while cleaning my room/hanging up clothes/doing a million things because it had been determined that it was a crappy episode. Some people I talked to even wrote off Grey's and said they would not watch it anymore because that episode was so stupid...Cristina getting impaled by an icicle.....snowing in Seattle.....it goes on. And I am ashamed to say that... I thought the episode was pretty good. It made me excited for the rest of the season. I know, I'm disappointed in myself for thinking this way as well. Who am I???

SF!!

A trip to San Francisco in mostly pictures and some words. The players:

Emily, Stacy, Avery and

Sarah with her amazing soup bowl. Sorry, Disneyland. SF rocked your soup bowls bigtime. But, we didn't get to go on a ride after eating it so maybe it was a tie.

The trip began with pictures like this: (Us eating our Ghiradelli ice cream sundaes. Amazing). But I as artistic director of the pictures made them have more feeling and emotion. Maybe it's too much ANTM watching, but I wanted our pictures to look FIERCE!!
My subjects being fascinated by the aquarium that was on our City Pass aka the greatest invention ever!!



All of us being fascinated by the school of fish swimming above us. Weird that all the fish got red/green eye.
Me touching the ray. I included this picture because I thought my hair looked particularly attractive. Yeah, I'm vain.

Sarah and Stacy being really excited about our kind-of-scary but didn't-look-that-scary-on-the-internet hotel.


Excited because this was our room's decor: Hot, hot and more hot. I die.
Then we were excited to see some art. Note: this piece of art is really, really famous. Seriously.

Then we went to Alcatraz aka amazing. Sarah using her sexy bod to get her out of jail.

Me pretending to pee. Apparently I didn't even want to look at myself peeing because my eyes are closed. Fletchers, this picture is for you. Pssssssssssssssssss.


We also hiked it to Lombard street. And I almost died from hiking the incline. So which picture is better, this one with all of us being smiley...

Or these ones where I made us be zig zags like the road?!?!?

p.s. Yes I did go to San Francisco with super models. Or as I also like to say we all drank our breakfast out of diet coke cans.



We also ate at Mama's or the most amazing breakfast place ever. I then made my subjects show their true hunger while waiting in line.

Just call me Tyra Banks.

Later we went to the Golden Gate Bridge.
Seriously, I am a photog genius!! Look at this next picture. Us being the bridge. Pure genius!

You can FEEL Stacy being the boat beneath our outstretched arms. She was the boat.
So our guidebook, San Francisco for Dummies, said that we should tour this fortune cookie factory. Or in other words, slave labor in an alley. Not classy. Stacy and Sarah being glad they escaped the clutches of the underworld.
I put this picture on because I thought it was funny. Yeah I'm a 12 year old boy.

So as I was walking out into the San Francisco air for the first time, what was there to greet me?? Just a three story Forever 21. Hello lover!
Oh yes we did do the Full House opening credits pose. And the song was in our heads the WHOLE TIME.

The end.

Scrubs - Kittens

So sometimes when Julia has been at a swim meet ALL DAY and I have been working all day on a super busy Saturday, we do this. And it works. And yes, we have three right now if anyone is interested.

House Frau

Guess who's back??? Us!! So our sister Laura may have had our card reader for months. And you should have seen Reidster's face when he would remember that and get ticked. So let's discuss the exciting parts. This semester I am being the stay-at-home mom aka house frau. And I love every minute of it. I get to take Julia to school every day at 7, seduce Annie with leftovers for breakfast to get her out of bed, doing chores... it's the best!!!!

The best part about being a house frau...going to the lake in the middle of the week with the Porters. When we showed up, it looked like this..

It was awesome. But of course we couldn't go to the lake without TONS of food. Like homemade ice cream. Oh yes we did.
And various treats and attractive children.

Precious moments.
Amanda getting ready to be awesome.
And being awesome.

Me getting psyched up.
Lee and Eden being awesome.

Seriously, please note the lack of boats in these pictures. The only thing there is to do in AZ when it is hot is visit various water holes to try and cool off but we were practically alone. It was amazing!!

We go almost every Tuesday if anyone wants to go with us. But the Porters are hardcore. Every time they go they think that this is the last time going and we stay ALL day. Which rocks.

Happy happy birthday Emily DEAR!!!!

Since we've been hearing a lot of this song in our house, i decided to dedicate Emily's birthday post in the same title, except the way Miley/Hannah sings it in the end of the song. "7 Things I Love about You". Maybe i secretly like this song and know every word... That was a little confession session for you all.

Seven Things I Love About Emily

1. Secretly loves terrible radio music like myself. I will not give any examples because people may make fun. Yet i just admitted to the above small print?
Us with good music merchandise.. opposite than our secret love for radio crap.

2. At family functions, we pretend to be each others spouses. Or when one of the marrieds says "I hate when..." Some photographs of our courtship...

Be jealous you're not this hot.
That's some nice foliage on my head.

3. She's kind. AKA she does not yell at me when i drive her car stupidly during driving lessons.

4. She's an amazing speller. Hence why she is great at editing my English papers so they are English not the language of Bubz. (Emily here. I had to correct Julia's spelling in this blog. Don't hate, bubs.)

5. She is the funnest/funniest/most entertaining/best person ever to make laugh. No lies.

6. She's my TV show companion. Also she enjoys making cats do funny things or taking their picture when they choose to be entertaining.

Our cat who wants to be Michael
Jackson in the "Thriller" dance.(Non posed)

Our cat loving and intently watching "So You Think You Can Dance". (non posed)

Our cat the cook slash housewife.(Posed)

7. She's the best sister ever!!!! I love you Emily!!! Have a great one!!!! Thank you for all that you do!!!!

Dear Disney Channel-

Please give us back our sister, Annie's, brain. She may love you more than us. You have possessed her soul.

Love, The Jones Sisters

p.s. We didn't even have Disney Channel for 3 weeks and she would still talk about Hannah Montana/Jo Bros/Wizards of Waverly Place every day. And maybe we love watching it with her.

Mleh. Not my favorite. Unnecessarily too long. I think I am a difficult reader to please.

Back-posting

This week will be dedicated to all things blog-worthy that we were too lazy to post about.

First: Death Cab for Cutie
So, Julia, me, and our cousin Jenny aka Ferfus went together. And it was amazing. Don't they look like sisters? Precious!
Jenny and Julia with their overpriced concert merch. Back it up, pervs, they're jailbait.

Julia and I with our overpriced t-shirts. For the record, when I saw this band in Utah, the concert was way better. Probably because we weren't bathing in our own sweat. But in Utah they played We Looked Like Giants and they didn't play it in AZ. p.s. This is me smiling before I sat on my sunglasses and broke them in half. Sad face.

We need a new camera.
