Tandra
Movie : 27 dresses
Staring: Katherine Heigl, James Marsden, Edward Burns, Malin Akerman, Krysten Ritter, Josh Casaubon
Genre: Romantic Commedy

i was skeptical about seeing this movie because lets face it, as much as Katherine Heigl is the breakaway star from Greys Anatomy, its pretty hard to carry a whole movie considering what she was doing before.

In addition to this, i thought the movie would follow the usual "secretary pining after boss and so she turns on the charm to win him back" and i seriously debated on just how they would try to play that out and more importantly if i wanted to see it happen.

The thing i found fun about it was they concentrated on Jane (katherine) as a character of her own, they gave her the chance to grow as a character of her own and not get lost in the story as soapy love stories tend to be. In otherwords they made Jane relatable to.

It wasnt particularly a slap stick commedy, which was a relief because i dont generally like slap stick, the humour was more in the wording and the expression of the characters. Some you could imagine YOUrself doing.

SO, if u want romance with a bit of humour, this is the one for you. Its even better if you have ever been a third wheel and are intimate with the feeling.

I was supposed to meet some chap for the first time yesterday so i organised myself for the meet. Since i have a problem with first meetings, i endevoured to make it in time. Yeah! Big help that was.

No sooner had i gotten to the place than i got a SMS letting me know that he was going to be late and did i mind changing location and going closer to where he was.

I was like "forget you!". harsh you might think.. but thats how relationships start off. If i let you do that to me in the beginning, you will start thinking you can just toss me around.

Its one thing for my friends to toss me, we are friends..i put up with ur ish...u put up with mine. But practical strangers be another case.

SO,he calls me asks me to wait a while but i'd already walked away. We agree to meet up at GC. He calls when he's MBU in the parking lot and didnt show ((grins)).

i eventually get this message
Cant make it i ve been called again by ma boss as i was still talking to someone in the parking... So sorry, im not playing n games see u next time

Guess that means i have to wait for some time....sigh....

    had a blind date recently. dude was just wrong. first the place he chose was outta this world. i changed the venue soon's i got there (he was late). told him find me 'here' instead. when he showed, he said it was 'upper class'. worst thing was he said 'ladda dan' instead of 'rather than'. no lie! to think he studied and lived in the UK! was outta there before they could say thingajingamillagonna...! and i have been 'too busy to hang' since then. i don't care how good looking he was at first!
