I Speak German! (Ich spreche Deutsch!)

Guys, I can speak German!

I watched a German movie on Netflix yesterday, called Schlussmacher (Break Up Man). It's a really cute and funny movie about this guy who helps couples break up for a living. Okay, so maybe that doesn't sound so cute and funny when put that way.

Let me try again. It's about two guys and true love...but not with each other. Hum...

Okay, so the concept of this movie is a little strange to try and explain.

Let's see, what's something like an American version of this? ...I would call it a mash up of Due Date and the opposite of Hitch.

Yes, I think that makes the most sense.

Whether that makes any sense to you or not, it was a cute and funny movie. You'll just have to get it a try and let me know what you think!

But, back to my main point! I know I can speak German after watching this movie! I have been very slowly learning German. Practicing my guten morgen and Auf Wiedersehen. But when I watched this movie I knew I had arrived!

I could understand about 1% of the movie WITHOUT using the subtitles!!! 

Super impressive. I know.

I can also speak a few words in Spanish, Finnish, and Mongolian (and by few I mean one or two).

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Have you ever seen a sky that is both dark and dreary and bright at the same time? The haze of an oncoming storm as the dawn is breaking over the horizon. That's how this morning's sky look. It left me with a weird contradictory feeling in the pit of my stomach.

It could also be that I was up until 2 o'clock last night and then up driving "as the dawn is breaking over the horizon"! This just screams "CRAZY" to me.

You may ask me "Luna, why were you up until 2 o'clock if you knew you had to be up early in the morning?" and I answer in one simple yet vastly complex word, "Netflix".

The Netflix life is a dangerous, dark, and addictive path. Beware before you start! Don't say I didn't warn you! Especially when you are watching season 5 of Grey's Anatomy!

Most shows tend to die out when you are on the 3rd maybe 4th season. They are just reaching and stretching with absurd plot lines to try to keep people interested and failing most times, but with Grey's I think it is just getting better! (side note: the greatest longest running show of all times is Doctor Who...can we say 50th anniversary and still the best show ever!) I would say that season 5 of Grey's has been my favorite season! I think they made me cry in EVERY SINGLE STUPID EPISODE!
They also leave you with such cliff hangers it drives you crazy. I don't know how people did it watching week to week instead of one right after another. The cliffs are getting so large that if we have to stop, Mona and I, we have to stop in the middle of an episode or we can't handle it! We did not succeed with this tactic last night, but in our defense it was the END of the 5th season!

I bawled my eyes out! The last few episodes challenged the idea that any moment could be our last. You never know when you or someone you love could lose their memory, find cancer, or die. Cherish every moment with them. Give them a hug. Tell them you love them while you still have the chance. Any moment could be your last moment together. Tell them that you love them.

I love you guys!

pretty little morning?

So I've been watching this show on Netflix, you might have heard of it, it's called Pretty Little Liars, and I have a bone to pick with the believably of this show. I will tell you right now I am a sci-fi/fantasy geek. I will watch shows about thousand year old aliens,  space travel, time travel, people coming back from the dead, people who can't die, and one amazing show called Doctor Who that has all things good and wonderful wrapped up in one, and I will believe every single thing wholeheartedly. But I bring in to question the realistic reality about a show that screams out LIARS.

All I am saying is, there is no way in hell that the girls pictured above can look like that, have full conversations, get offered breakfast from their parents [side note: one sure way to know someone is upset at someone else is to say you will take said breakfast with you or stop on your way and storm out of the house], stop for coffee, pick up friends, travel through rush hour, and make it to school on time in the morning without breaking a sweat or passing out from exhaustion. Have I also mentioned they are out all night with each other sneaking around and find time to do homework and extra curricular school activities.  Unless they are vampires and don't sleep at all, it's not possible. Maybe that's what they're really lying about? They're vampires! Now that would make a good twist...hmm...stop! Don't tell me! I'm only on season 2, so no spoilers please! Give me about two days and I should be caught up to season 5 (don't act like you haven't watched a whole season on Netflix in one day).

My morning routine is drastically different than what the pretty little liars dream team portrays. I mean I set my alarm for just enough time to shower with my eyes closed, throw on some clothes, half dry my hair, grab my make-up bag, and run out the door. This morning I even walked to my car barefoot because  the socks  I bought, so I wouldn't have to do laundry, were still in my trunk.

Either they have to be vampires or I am failing at life.
