After Jenn managed to squeeze out a win at this years Golden Globes, I was feeling a lot of pressure coming into the Oscars. To add to the pressure we had Jake and Amy down for annual Oscar's night which added two more competitors into the mix. 

When Jenn and I were on the Royal Voyage 2015 the movie Steve Jobs was released. Although critically it was somewhat well received, audiences didn't show up for it. By the time we had gotten back from the trip and recovered the movie was hard to find and we weren't able to see it in theaters. Over the last couple of months I've been eagerly anticipating watching it. So much so that I ended up just buying it on iTunes so I didn't have to wait for the rental.

This is my first "Case de Szerlip" blog post since we sold the house. I didn't anticipate writing nearly as many of these now that we are happily back in an apartment. However when we quickly moved into our apartment in July of 2015 we took what furniture we had and made it work.  Now nearly a year later we've renewed our lease to mid-2017 and wanted to continue making our apartment home.

I'm sorry in advance. I've tried to keep the majority of my political views off my blog. So if you're easily offended or don't like hearing others political views you might want to stop reading now. For those that are continuing to read bare with me, this might be a short albeit bumpy ride. 

Jenn and I just don’t watch movies as much as we used to when we first started dating. Our preference has changed from movies to television and that’s evident if you keep an eye on my blog. However, every now and again a movie will come along that peaks both of our interest and we either go out and see it or keep it on our radar for when it comes out to rent. The Intern is exactly that. It’s a movie that we both wanted to see but didn’t want to fork out $30 to go see. But on our mini-vacation to Seattle we found it to be a perfect time to fork out a couple bucks to rent it.

In late 2015 Jenn and I went on a shopping spree for theater tickets. It’s something we did a lot of early in our relationship. We spent many Friday and Saturday nights at a theater in the round in Downtown Riverside. The theater is something that the older we get the more we seem to enjoy. We waited for Black Friday and Cyber Monday and purchased season passes at both Segerstrom and South Coast Repertory and also bought tickets for two separate performances outside of the season passes. In total from January to May we have tickets to go see eight performances. Our first was If/Then a musical set in New York at Segerstrom Hall.
