true grit.

Last night Nick and I went to see True Grit.  It was funny, it was heart warming, it was full of death.  Though, only the bad guys died so that was okay.




Mostly I was struck by the speech.  In... whatever year it was, contractions were not to be found.  I think I am going to stop using contractions.  It will be a fine experiment.  Let us see if I can do it.  Jeff Bridges was amazing as a drunk, pistol wielding curmudgeon.  You should probably go see this movie if you live your life a little to the side of political correctness.

Bryan and I really enjoyed True Grit too! so I had to look up "contractions" on dictionary.com because the only thing that came to mind are the Braxton Hicks that I have been having. lol
contractions- I'm, can't, etc... correct? haha

that comment deleted thing was my bad...

Did I forget to tell you we saw this too?? I actually liked it too. And cried a lot. I also thought the contractions thing was super funny... (also funny what Elise said) :) but yea, I am not so sure if that was an old western thing or a weird Coen Bros. movie thing. But I think we should try to take contractions out of our vocab...
