In all honesty, I just wanted to use the term 'recon' in a blog post title. I've been watching way too much 'Dual Survival,' in which two men, Cody and Dave, brave fictitious scenarios in which they show you how to, well, survive, in a variety of disaster situations. They are always using the term 'recon' to review and go over their provisions and surroundings, taking note of what they have and maximizing everything's use.
So, I am going to do my only weekly recon, as a sort of survey of the wonderful things, beings and happenings which took place and which I have. Some silly photos, of Strider nibbling on his new found and surprising passion, watermelon, a close-up shot of Benji's hard earned and well conditioned muscular shoulder and the scrumptious choctail I had at Max Brenner's (the word Satisfying was in the title and it definitely hit the desert spot, after some sangria and pasta).
So here's my brief recon...I have a wonderful, supportive family, seven highly entertaining, thoroughly invigorating animals to fill almost every waking moment with love and laughter and the occasional yell, and a group of amazing and compassionate friends.
Memorable moments this week included catching up with a few dear friends, a certain meeting which left my mind at great ease and alleviated a lot of lingering anxiety, one hell of a date (see Facebook status update for details) and watching 'The Change-up,' tonight in theaters.
This movie was quite raunchy, with humor ranging from the visually disgusting (think on a very primitive level, like babies spewing poop) to smart one-liners and definite genius ad libbing. Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds were a formidable team of 'bros' and had more chemistry and many more scenes together than those involving Leslie Mann, who is an amazing comedic actress in her own right.
If you want to laugh till your stomach hurts (but not 'till you cry), desire some a light non-fluffy movie with something for everyone with a strong stomach and who is over 17 or so, go see it. The plot line is solid, the actors are great, and it's definitely a refreshing take on the 'Freaky Friday' scenario.
Take it easy,
M
