Couch comfort

I’ve had a hard time getting comfortable on the couch for a while now, mostly due to my weight and our couch. We have a sectional couch in our living room that’s shaped like a capital letter C. The back of the couch frame is very hard on the two recliner pieces and sometimes they hurt my back. I prefer to watch tv in a half sitting/half laying position but cannot do so because of either the curve in the couch or the hard back on either end. Ideally I should probably get a pillow that’s made like those bed wedges to put on one end so it would make it softer to lay on and so that it would raise my head higher to watch tv. How do you get comfortable when you watch tv on the couch?

Yes Man review

Yes Man came out on DVD last week and hubby and I watched it. I enjoyed it. Jim Carrey wasn’t quite as bold or silly in this movie as he was in others but it was quite enjoyable nonetheless. The movie is a PG13.

Jim Carrey portrays Carl Allen. Carl is divorced and is depressed because he’s never gotten over his wife Stephanie leaving him. He has no life except for his job at the bank and watching videos, he even avoids his friends. An old acquaintance Nick tells him about a seminar that changed his life. Carl goes to the seminar and ends up joining the group of people that say yes to everything.

Carl gives a homeless man a ride and winds up meeting a younger woman names Allison. He starts going out with Allison. He starts socializing with his boss Norm. In saying yes to everything he starts living his life once again. I don’t want to spoil the ending so I’ll just say that I enjoyed the movie. I liked the scene where he got his Tempurpedic bed the best.

Will flat screen tv be the end of a/v furniture?

For years the console television is what most households had. Then the big screen tv started becoming popular. Now, flat screen televisions are the direction to go in. With televisions coming up off of the floor and onto our walls, we’re left with furniture either not fulfilling its potential or that we no longer need. In my home we had a set consisting of a tv stand and one of those audio racks to match. Now the tv stand is in the dining room, home to a spinning picture frame display. The audio rack no longer contains audio components, they’ve been relocated to the top of the big screen tv. The audio rack is now home to our DVDs and CDs. Have you upgraded any televisions and been left with furniture you had to repurpose?

One Life To Live’s Shane

If you follow One Life To Live then you know that Rex’s son Shane has been diagnosed with leukemia. Now he’s pretty sick and need a bone marrow transplant. We know Gigi’s sister isn’t a match and that she’s planning on getting the bone marrow from Mr Anonymous (Rex’s father who’s in a hospital bed somewhere). Anyone have any guesses as to who Mr Anonymous is? I had been thinking it might be Mitch Lawrence, but he’s supposed to be dead and cremated. I hope that Shane get’s his transplant because noone wants to see a child die from any form of cancer no matter if it’s leukemia or mesothelioma.

Fast And Furious

It was only two weeks ago that I learned that Vin Diesel and Paul Walker had teamed up again to make Fast And Furious. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard a word about it! I love Vin Diesel! This past Saturday I went to see Fast And Furious with a friend and her fiance. It was totally awesome and I really enjoyed it. Paul Walker is now an FBI agent, he must have really hit the textbooks. Vin Diesel has been in Mexico with Letty according to the story. I don’t want to spoil it for you in case you haven’t seen it but I will say I was a little disappointed with the ending. But, I read on the internet that part 5 is already being discussed. The only one of the Fast And Furious movies I haven’t seen is Tokyo Drift.
