GUILTY PLEASURES - Baby just say YES

***FYI*** A 'Guilty Pleasure' is defined as anything that you do that is at least a wee bit embarrassing.  If you were meeting the coolest person in the world... this is probably not the first thing that you would tell them about yourself!

(Here's a little inspiration if needed)  http://www.momversation.com/episodes/guilty-pleasure

Come on...We all have them. Post a comment with your worst guilty pleasures. For every one of yours, I'll post one of mine.

I'll start first -
I can listen (ok; Blast) Taylor Swift (especially Love Story) over & over & over & over again singing in my car at the top of my lungs with my headset in so (hopefully) people think I'm just yelling at someone on the phone!

Celebrity Sighting

Living in LA & working in Beverly Hills presents itself with plenty of celebrity sightings. We'll try to fill you in when it happens!

David & Victoria Beckham in their new $275,000 Alfa Romeo 8C.

We were driving down Rodeo at about 9:45am on Sunday morning and noticed a guy snapping pictures when we stopped at a stoplight. We glanced over and saw the Beckhams using our Camry as a paparazzi shield.

Always glad to help!

Mexicoke

What can be more American than Coca~Cola?

Here in Los Angeles, we have a choice: Original Coca~Cola or MexiCoke

MexiCoke is Coca~Cola bottled in Mexico and imported here.

Apparently, MexiCoke has had a cultish following for years now. Fans swear it tastes better than U.S.-made Coke because it uses natural cane sugar as a sweetener instead of high-fructose corn syrup.
And of course it is kind of cool to drink out of a glass bottle as opposed to plastic!
Well we did a blind taste test and the verdict is:

Original Coca~Cola
Although MexiCoke has a great, less sugary taste, the original is what's 'normal' in our opinion = Very difficult to compare the two, they should be completely separate beverages. There you have it.

Star Trek

Star Trek

Starring: No one important (except Leonard Nimoy - the original Spock)
Directed by: J.J. Abrams (Creator of Lost, Alias & Felicity)

What it's About:
A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members. A pre-qual that starts during Kirk & Spock's childhood and follows them through schooling and their first days on the USS Enterprise.


Micah's Take: Good (enough) It is no Dark Knight!

Kim's Take: Egh (with a shoulder shrug) -It ain't no Batman Begins!

Our Take: Originally Kim was NOT into this movie at all - She's never seen a Star Trek episode or movie and life was fine. But it was touted as a Star Trek that everyone would enjoy so we decided to give it a try. It was decent. Not great - Not horrible. Some cool special effects and the music/sound design was great. We enjoyed the insight into learning about Spock and Kirk's back story and their early relationship.


Better Left on the Cutting Room Floor:
A lot of annoying intentional flares & glares - we get it...they are in space, by the sun & it is bright - but come on. And Micah was extremely irate about Kirk chewing an apple during a simulated test.

It's A Wrap
Rent...(or not) - your call
