Bridesmaids Saves The Day

I got up this morning after eight hours of sleep, went to breakfast, came home, and took a two and a half hour nap.

THAT'S how tired I am.  (Pregnancy?  Progesterone?  Symptoms are the same.  I have no clue and wouldn't venture a guess.)

It's nine p.m. now.  I could've easily gone to bed at seven.  

Fortunately, I have Bridesmaids to keep me up until a reasonable hour.

I've watched it twice this weekend.  

For my money, no movie has better captured female friendship.  And it's easily the funniest movie I've seen in years.  From the opening bad-sex sounds to the Wilson-Phillips finale, there's not one second I don't love.

If you haven't seen it yet, you're in for something special.

And that's it for me and coherence.  Bedtime.

Yes! I watched it this weekend too -- had seen it once already -- and told my mom that the reason it cracked me up was because women REALLY talk to each other like that. It seemed so real to me, even if it was over the top at times.

I loved Bridesmaids, of course. Other movies that I think really capture female friendship are Romy & Michele's High School Reunion and Riding in Cars w Boys (when Brittany Murphy's character gets up and announces that she, too, is pregnant at Drew Barrymore's shotgun wedding -- pitch perfect).

Ok, you've convinced me. Next free night I have, that's what I'm watching.

Oh, and apparently I can't spell my own name. Geez.

YES to Alexis. Especially that close-to-the-opening scene in the coffee shop (donut shop? wherever they are). I LOVE the way they are together.
