plus means positive, minus means negative.

here is a list of my pluses and minuses of the week, straight from this girl (me):

plus: joe jonas' you tube video of him dancing to "single ladies" by beyonce. hate the song, love this leotard. enjoy.

joe gets +500 for dancing in that thing. and +100 more just for being a jonas.

minus: that stupid eminem and bruno stunt at the mtv movie awards. google it if you don't know what that's all about. i can't post it on here. it's too ridiculous. minus a thousand for both of them. meh, minus a thousand and one for eminem.

plus: coldplay's free album. they kind of sort of stole this idea from radiohead, in the sense that well, radiohead did it two years ago, but still. coldplay isn't my favorite band, but they're good enough. thanks, coldplay. download the album for yourself at coldplay.com

+100 for coldplay. and +150 for radiohead because they did it first. oh and -50 for chris martin (lead singer of coldplay) for being married to g. pal.

minus: jon and kate plus a thousand magazine covers. really, guys? there's nothing else to talk about? didn't any of you see the joe jonas video? let's discuss that some more. -300 EACH for jon and kate. but +150 to him for being married to her.

plus: lauren conrad leaving "the hills". couldn't be more happy. that show has gotten zuper lame lately. i'm glad she is moving on. i lobe her quite alot. i'm not going to lie though. i may watch the next season of "the hills" just to see what a b. kristen is. +500 for lauren because i like her. just minus everything for the rest of the cast.

minus: lauren conrad writing a book. yeah, not even like a biography. like an actual real teen novel. i read a snippet of it in "teen vogue" the other day and yikes. bad move, lauren. you're on thin ice with this one. i'm going to award you -150 points.

plus: johnny depp. he turned 49 this week and still has amazing the bone structure he had in the 80's. happy birthday, j.d. plus 50 for you.

minus: 70's on 7. boy howdy am i sick of 70's music. as i'm typing this, alice cooper is serenading me with "school's out". indeed. minus 70 for this station.

plus: 90's music. what's not to like? you got the good rock(ish) bands like wallflowers and goo goo dolls, you've got good pop music like *NSYNC and britney spears, and you've got the random ridiculous classics like biz markie and new kids on the block. and who could forget "ice ice baby" or "hammer time"? plus 90 for the 90's!!

minus: telemarketers. i get about four calls a day from telemarketers. and they are constantly asking for a man named "regino". hmmm... never hoid of him. for some reason they don't understand when i say that this is a business, not a residence. they always ask, "well then do you know a regino?" or "do you know where i can reach regino?" negatron on both accounts, telly market men. i've no idea where reggie has run off to. and even if i did, i wouldn't reveal his whereabouts to you people. so there. minus 100 each for every person who asks for regino. also, minus 500 for regino for giving people my number. thanks for nothing, buddy.

plus: disney/pixar's UP. man. i cried for about the first 15 minutes of this movie. just a straight streamline of tears down my face, creating a puddle on my chest. then, a couple times in the middle my nose got burny like i was maybe going to start up again. to finish things off, i shed a few tears (only a few) at the end. this movie was spactacular. it was an amazing and clever story line and it was visually stunning. if you get the chance, see it in 3D. and don't be late because there is a teaser trailer for "toy story 3" in the beginning. plus 68.1 million for "up" because that's how much it made at the box office opening weekend.

here's one more plus to finish off the week:
"away we go". i've been so very excited for this movie ever since i saw the trailer back in february. i love the director (sam mendes), i love the writers (dave eggers and vendela vida), and i love the actors (john krasinski, catherine o'hara, allison janney, to name a few). i'm a bit concerned that it will just be the typical indie flick (a la juno) but i have high hopes for it. it's gets released today, but since i live in no man's land i will have to wait to see it. as of now i'm not sure when it'll be released here in good old arizona. so here i wait.
