Jersey Shore in Corvallis?

On Monday, November 15th, Snooki and Sammi from the MTV reality show Jersey Shore were partying it up in Corvallis, OR. Home of Oregon State University.

OSU won an online contest between other universities across the country to bring the cast of Jersey Shore to their school. To be selected to attend the event all you had to do was vote on Facebook.

My friend Molly was chosen to attend the event put on by MTV and Comcast and she chose to bring me as her guest.

I was expecting to see Snooki and Sammi sitting at a table, with a long line of Oregon State students waiting to get a picture or autograph from the reality stars... boy, was I wrong! MTV and Comcast don't mess around! Before walking into the building my friend and I were given a bag with the Jersey Shore logo on it, there was a giant xfinity logo lit up on the outside wall of the fairgrounds and security everywhere. We walked into the room to find a boardwalk setting, like we were really at the Jersey Shore. There were games and food booths everywhere, as well as a stage with a huge Jersey Shore sign lit up at the end of the room. If you played a game, you automatically got something free after. I left the event with the 1st season of Jersey Shore on dvd, 2 Jersey Shore t-shirts (1 said "GTL", the other said "I love the Situation"), a Jersey Shore towel, and a DJ Pauly D bobble head. The set up was incredible! There was a DJ playing house music, easy to fist pump to, all night.

Around 7:30 Snooks and Sammi came out and greeted the crowd. They were a little awkward and didn't really know what to say. I felt like the atmosphere was more exciting than seeing the two people who were on the show...
Needless to say, I am very excited I was invited to go and it was a very memorable evening indeed! :)

Life As We Know It

Today I saw the movie Life As We Know It starring Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel.

Before seeing the movie, I had mixed feelings as to how much I would like the film. I figured it was just going to be a classic Katherine Heigl chick flick (which it was). BUT... I really liked it!
If I had to rate it I would give it 7.5 out of 10 stars.

The story line was complicated. The film is about 2 people, Holly and Eric, (who despise each other) who are the best friends of a married couple. The married couple tragically die in a car accident and leave their 2 friends (Heigl & Duhamel) custody of their daughter, Sophie. The 2 characters have to overcome their hatred for one another to make the situation work. There were expected, and unexpected, twists.

If you are in the mood for a chick flick, check this one out.
