Pop Culture

I’ve had several thoughts rumbling around in this stay-at-home mom head of mine regarding a few things in pop culture/Hollywood and I feel the need to expel them. Mind you, this is all completely superficial…I am completely aware of this.

1. I recently saw Courtney Cox on a talk show. Does anyone else find it difficult to look at her? I always thought she was so beautiful and then she went and did who knows what with plastic surgery and she just looks, I don’t know…weird. And it’s awkward to watch her.

2. You know that song, “Love You Like A Love Song” by Selena Gomez? Ridiculous. Whenever I’m driving in the car and it comes on, I always call Michael {much to his chagrin} and blare it…making a total mockery of it {Sorry, Selena}. Now, I’m not the music critic in the family. That spot’s reserved for the Mr. But this song just doesn’t make any sense to me. And I find it so silly. Buuuuut, I always end up leaving it on because it *is* fun to car dance along to.

3. Parenthood. The interweb has been ablaze with *Team Mark* or *Team Hank* buzz. I recently read a friends status on facebook asking people which man they sided with. Last I read the post, every single person was Team Hank. I just don’t get it. Yes, he is closer in age to Sarah. But that’s about the only plus I see to him. {See? Told you I was blogging about *really* important stuff today.} I’m officially casting my vote…Team Mark. And as I write this, I see our red DVR light on recording the season finale…I guess I’ll see which one wins out in the end soon enough.

4. Ryan Gosling. Michael and I both have a crush on him. And if you haven’t seen them, there are enough “Hey Girl” pictures floating around on Pinterest and online here {or here …you know what, just google *ryan gosling hey girl* and you’ll get a gazillion of them. You’re welcome.}  to make me feel like we are not alone in this crush. I laughed out loud at *several* of these. So, if you’re needing a chuckle, even if you don’t share our Ryan love, surely these will be the medicine you are looking for. Here are a few of the memes that came up as soon as I googled it {fact: I just learned that word this week from my trendy husband and wanted to use it in a blog…mission accomplished.}.

5. Superhero movies. In the past few weeks, we’ve watched Captain America, The Avengers and Thor. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a big fan. I never saw myself as a superhero kind of gal, but we watched these movies waaaaaay past my 8:30pm bedtime and they kept me wide awake.

Ok, that’s it. Off to watch who won Sarah’s heart.
