There is a slight chance Louie wanted to be in this picture with me. Oh and in the top pic, I am holding onto the pine needle, not trying to be a cheerleader. How is everyone's week so far? I have been pretty productive I must say. I managed to get out of going to the grocery store by giving Kyle my debit card. He went to Aldi and made out pretty good, although I am bummed that I didn't get to go to Aldi, I have never been but that is what I get for making Kyle go alone. :P

Any who, for today's random post, I thought I would do a movie review. I mentioned Monday that we rented "Whip it", and, although it has been out for awhile, I still think that it is worth a little mention on my blog. Especially since so much of it was filmed in Michigan! Not only just in Michigan, but places that I know of. But first, let me explain the plot a little, for those who have not seen this movie yet.

"Whip it" débuted Drew Barrymore's directorial genius (I really liked it). She supports star Ellen Page in this fantastic film about a misfit seventeen year old named Bliss, who finds a way to deal with her small-town misery (Bodeen, Texas) by joining a roller-derby team in Austin. The acting is pretty good for the genre of the film. It has pretty good humor, and it is a little predictable, however still very fun. I would defiantly recommend renting it.

While I was watching it, I kept jumping up and down going "I know where they are!" One of my favorite spots is during a scene where a couple of the Derby Girls skate into a resale shop to drop off flyers. The resale shop is actually Mother Fletchers, a vintage clothing store in my very home-town of Ferndale. Another great spot is during the scenes where Bliss is at work, a small dinner with a giant pig on top of the building. That building was actually right off of Birch Run, and it was an abandoned dinner. Since the films debut however, it is now open but said giant pig has been removed. :(

Also, in light of it being "random" Wednesday, I would like to announce that today's date marks the Birthday of Norman Rockwell. (yay Google).
