This camera will also be on sale at WalMart for $49.99 on Black Friday. But that price is only good if you actually buy it at the store, in the store. Meh. That means getting up to wait in line at 4 a.m. with lots of crazy people who are hungry and tired (which will make them rude. ) I don’t want to brave actual stores on Black Friday, so I think the nearly 40% off of the Kodak Easyshare Camera with the Amazon price is definitely the better way for me to go.

So, what’s hot to trot?

Stump Portable Tablet Stand – $24 – Stump Website – Amazon Link
Why do I like it? Three separate viewing angles? I’m sold. Haha, okay not SO fast. But this is so necessary! It’s for use with your iPad or ereader. Perfect for watching Netflix while you’re working at your computer, bored on a flight, or reading recipes while you cook in the kitchen. This is available in five different colors, small enough to fit in your purse, and the base is weighted so it doesn’t wobble. The Wall Street Journal has given this high, high praise. They seem pretty reputable, you know?

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime – $499 for a 32GB model and $599 for a 64GB version
Why do I like it? It’s tiny, there’s color choices, there’s a 12 hour battery… but the reason this is better than the iPhone, for me is that you can buy an optional dock to make it like a little notebook. The keyboard dock (meaning you don’t have to get an additional dock) is $149 and seriously, an extra keyboard that folds out or something is pretty important for these tablets if you ever want to type more than a text message on them. So you knock out two birds with one stone. And unlike with the foldable keyboards, with this you get a touchpad, USB port, and SD card slot, even extra battery life. Me likey. Me likey a lot. This gets my pick for the tablet to get over any other.

Polaroid’s Z340 Instant Digital Camera – $299.95 – Amazon Link
Why do I like it? Because I was so upset when I heard poloroids were gone! But they’re back. And apparently they’re getting amazing reviews and Amazon can hardly keep them in stock. (Buy early!)

ZAGGmate Aluminum iPad 1Case with Integrated Bluetooth Keyboard – $51 – Amazon Link
Why do I like it? Because I already have an iPad, I don’t need to buy a whole new tablet with a keyboard. This has decent reviews and looks like it will dock and give me the keyboard room I need to actually, you know, type. I looked into the Clam Case, but this one has better reviews.

Kindle Touch 3G – $149 – Amazon Link / Amazon Link with Special Offers
Why do I like it? If someone (like my Mom) only wants an ereader, then this is a good option. This has a built-in, totally free 3G connection so you can literally download books anywhere, anytime.

When I faked sick in high school I’d play the part even if no one was home, just in case I got caught not looking miserable. But do you know what good worries do? Nothing. I mean, they keep you vigilant and if life were like The Walking Dead, I’s probably want to stay pretty “on guard” like this. But as life its, without the zombie apocalypse, it’s really time for me to relax. As the movie says, “Leisure Rules.” So be a Ferris. My happy place is visualizing myself in Ferris’ backyard, with his attitude on life. Everything will be okay!

What’s your happy place?

So, win this movie and watch it for Valentine’s Days to come!

Now, I still haven’t seen Love & Other Drugs yet (I plan to asap, seriously) but I have a feeling this can be filed under good valentine’s day movies. They’re both attractive leads and they play smart characters – so I really think it’ll be charming and romantic. Have you seen it yet?

A CALCULATED CAPER MEETS

MADCAP MAYHEM IN

WILD TARGET

Critically-acclaimed as an uproarious and not-to-be-missed hit, WILD TARGET shoots onto Blu-ray and DVD from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment on February 8th.

This fast-paced British comedy aims to kill with lively performances by Bill Nighy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1), Emily Blunt (The Young Victoria, The Devil Wears Prada), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter Series) and Rupert Everett (My Best Friend’s Wedding, Shrek 2).

From director Jonathan Lynn (The Whole Nine Yards) comes this lively British remake of the 1993 French hit “Cible Emouvante.” Victor Maynard (Nighy) is a middle-aged, solitary assassin whose professional routine is interrupted when he falls for his intended hit, Rose (Blunt). When he spares Rose’s life, Victor inadvertently acquires a young apprentice, Tony (Grint). Believing Victor to be a private detective, his two new companions tag along, while he attempts to thwart the murderous intentions of his unhappy client, resulting in comedic mayhem.

We’ll have three winners!

On the show, Brooke Davis married Julian Baker. They are a real life couple, and Sophia Bush actually helped design her characters wedding dress.

What do you think of it? The style of gown is a strapless tulle and lace mermaid wedding dress. It’s by BCBG Max Azaria. A crystal brooch accents her waist.

There’s a nice belt action going on. It’s strapless, of course. She’s got a veil, a jeweled headpiece, (two crystal headbands) and drop earrings.  For her wedding day hair she has a simple knotted or braided bun, but the headbands and veil dress this up for the special occasion.

The white dress has lots of ruffles and her bouquet has white flowers that look like white roses and white orchids. Maybe dogwood blossoms? I’m not sure, I’m not a flower guru.

This will help you decide what you want to watch on Valentine’s day, hopefully.

As for the Valentine’s Day movies mentioned:

1. No Strings Attached is in theaters now. Portman gets a yay, but Kutcher gets a meh.
2. Blue Valentine is in theaters now. I want to see this, although I know it’s more of a serious/twisted love story.
3. Never Let Me Go is out on DVD and Blu-ray. It was not given enough promotion, but don’t let this British movie gem escape your watchful eyes! We even have a giveaway for it coming up!
4. Love and Other Drugs is still in some theaters and is being released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 1 2011. Anne Hathaway is AMAZING and Jake Gyllenhaal? Double Yum. We’ll have a giveaway for this coming soon, with three winners!

I plan to see these all, but have yet to see any of them! Oops! They’re all on my Netflix que though. So your voting will help me decide which you guys think is the best movie to watch asap! Take your duties seriously! And then buy some Redi Whip, because that stuff is always good. Mmm. Just a lil V-day advice from me to you!

Valentine’s Day Movies 2011:

“Never Let Me Go is a powerful story revolving around Kathy (Mulligan), Ruth (Knightley) and Tommy (Garfield), three best friends who grow up together at an English boarding school with a chilling secret. When they learn the shocking truth – that they are genetically engineered clones destined to be organ donors – they embrace their fleeting chance to live and love.”

We’ll have three winners!

THE GREAT GIVEAWAY PRIZE: Three winners will receive a copy of the DVD Never Let Me Go which stars Keira Knightly, Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield. This is offered by Fox Home Entertainment.

The new Little Red Riding Hood Poster

Amanda’s hair in Little Red Riding Hood is her natural color, and very loose. It’s always down. In the picture below you see that the pieces on the ends have been twisted back.If you don’t have naturally wavy hair, you’ll want to use a curling iron to achieve a similar look. But make sure to mess it up, as it always looks a little disheveled. In some scenes, the hair isn’t twisted, but braided.

This amazing dress is the perfect icy light blue shade.

Dress like Amanda Seyfried with this Crushed Red Cape with a Hood from Costume Super Center.

Little Red Riding Hood Fashion:

• Medieval Long Blonde Wig Adult from Fright Catalog.
• Long Blonde Wig from Halloween Adventure.
• Ice Blue Medieval Gown handmade from Evening Arwen on Etsy.
• Red Fleece Hooded Renaissance Cloak Renaissance Costume Valentines Day handmade from M West Designs on Etsy.

The video is “Crunch- Candlelight Yoga” with Sara Ivanhoe.Isn’t it nice that Netflix offers that? I have done the routine twice and even though I would classify the video as very easy, I still felt a sense of energy and warmth afterwards. There are some reviews on Amazon (linked above) which also speak of this feeling.

As a beginner, I felt attracted to how sincerely nonjudgmental the host, Sara, was. I was able to keep up with the moves, and this furthered my sense of accomplishment. And because I like it so much, I’m likely to want to work with this easy yoga dvd again.

While I can only vouch for that DVD, another has me curious. It’s two videos on one DVD: Crunch – The Perfect Yoga Workout: The Joy of Yoga & Fat-Burning Yoga. All of these DVDs are from the early 2000′s, but I believe yoga is an ancient practice so it’s not as though it will be an outdated workout. The 125 highly positive reviews seem like a good indication of the outcome people experience with this DVD.

For now I would say that Crunch Candlelight Yoga is one of my top Netflix Instant Watch suggestions. Give it a try while it’s still available streaming.
