Hello and welcome to the movie Juno.

All right. Here is a movie for you. It is called Juno and it was written by a dyed black hair ex stripper named Diablo Cody. Who had a blog.

I'm just saying. I was thinking, would it be a nice thing if I changed my name? I don't want Diablo Cody exactly. That's just not me. I think my official Porn Star name is Ruffles Smith. That's not so good. I did the Stripper Name Quiz and I got Sapphire Leather Thong. That doesn't exactly work either.

So anyways, Juno is a 16 year old goes preggers type movie, but not in a bad way. I won't say it's the best movie, but I did not fall asleep or ever want to walk out of it. Super opening titles! Very Web 2.0. Super actress playing the 16 year old, and not one but TWO Arrested Development characters, the dad and son, who do not play the dad and son in this movie and actually never even meet in the movie. Which left me wondering, did they get to hang out? How does that work in movie land if you don't have any scenes together, with production schedules and all and budgets? Not really my problem and also proved that my mind did wander in the film, which is very sweet and if you saw the previews, is a lot like them and you could pretty much skip the movie, not out of baddness, just out of you've seen a lot of it.

I don't like to give my movies away, in case you go to see them. I would say go see this if you would like to see a sweet and entertaining movie that you will not get bored in. And certainly in the 16 year old goes preggers genre, does a super job. You will see that Cut Chemist has a teensy, tiny part as the chemistry teacher. Also the step mom, who was on the West Wing, cuts out dog photos out of unfulfilled dog lust. And how much do we love the star, Michael Cera, who is known as Pauly Bleeker in this movie and plays the same dorky living in his brain young man in little yellow shorts and his ill fitting sweatband on his touseled non cool haircut. You will see Jennifer Garner and at first think you will hate her, but then you might not. So it gets points for that. The girl star, of the name Ellen Page, is like a super star of teenage type good acting in a very Freaks and Geeks way and is from Canada. Fine Job, Canadians! We hate the Arrested Development dad, living in the land of Nirvana and the Melvins.

Who did make me think, how out of touch and unevolved am I? Is he age appropriate or just living in a time warp and having a mid life crisis? Movie points to Juno for raising thought provoking, if not polar bear ice cap saving, questions. Dog points in the form of the Weimerarer puppies at the end and a barking fluffy dog named Banana. And for keeping me awake. I am having high hopes for a movie there were previews for called There Will Be Blood with oil driller miners and faith healers and that guy who played the silent Nietzs che teenager in Little Miss Sunshine and high hopes for a good movie.

Oh, you have clearly not ever been there at end of class time. While the last person is out on the course, we already have every piece of equipment not used in that course packed. We are out there like vultures. Oh, did you need numbered cones to run the course? Sorry. Like, you do your last run and we are attacking jumps feverishly, so it is possible to get everything back in the trailer and home for Project Runway.

This is what you have to look forward to as you advance to the advanced class. The true joy of dirt night. Putting it away. Boy oh boy oh boy. Back to dirt nite!

maybe you will move up to rob's 7pm soon and there are courses in there? also, some people do jump ship and move on to power paws...

you should try some of the winter cpe trials! i wish i could fit an additional dog in somehow, let me think on this, because then we could carpool. it is a tight fit because i keep my dogs caged in plastic boxes and in winter you just keep em in the car all day locked up in plastic boxes and my car is small dog size...they are in the tight little rings and on dirt but very good starting places for a trial.

that is good you had fun in guy's class. he is one of a kind. i learned much of rear crossing from him. he is an excellent example of a person who loves agility so much that he lives in a van for the love of agility. that scares me somewhat. do not move into a van mary!
