Inside the Head of a TV Junkie

OH MY GOD! That’s all I have to say. If you don’t see this movie in the theatre, then I just cannot be your friend. So, if you want to remain my friend, you must see this movie. Trust me, it’s that good. In my opinion, it was even better than the first. It’s soo hard to put into words because I don’t want to give away any parts of the movie, since you all will be seeing it in the theatres. :) If you want to discuss it, we can do so in an IM or on the phone… you know I’m always eager to discuss anything movies/tv related! Exciting!

A new addiction on the television… I know, I really don’t need any, but this one is good. That would be Nip/Tuck. I was a bit scared of this show… but after seeing the first full season and the first episode of the new season, I have to say that it’s some quality television. I’m just happy they have a show on Cable that isn’t afraid to use profanity every once in a while and show some nudity. There’s no harm in that! And it’s not even on HBO! Yay!!

Ok, that’s all for now. I’m sort of disappointed in my post re Spider-Man given it’s so great, but like I said above, I don’t want to ruin anything for anyone. (btw, in case you were wondering, which I know you were, I am going to see it again next week… maybe Monday since it’s a holiday)

Wow! The Highly Anticipated update to my journal is finally here!!!

Ok, to catch you up on stuff….

This weekend = BUSY! Saturday (ok, Sat wasn’t busy at all, but I have to start somewhere) I got up early to was my car before the heat of the day (yeah right, it was already hot at 8am) and then I took a nap… because I was tried from getting up so early… then I went to see Dodgeball (sucked *more to come below*). Then, I got a call from my friend Jen who is starting Medical School at the U of A in August and has bought a house down in Tucson… so she needed some movers… ugh… Because I’m such a nice friend, I agreed to come over and help her load the truck and unload it down in Tucson. She was packing at the moment and just needed my help for the moving…

Sunday! Today is moving day… and the stuff was supposed to be packed at the apartment… and it wasn’t…. imagine that! Anyway, so I arrived there at 10am, we didn’t leave for Tucson until 3pm… I didn’t get home that night until 9.45pm… almost 12 hours of moving! Ahhh! It was only supposed to be a few hours!! Oh well… it was kinda fun…and it was cool seeing her house. I need one of them… planning on it within the next year… hopefully I’ll have one by this time next year!! Exciting!!

Just an interesting footnote that I thought of real quick… Molson Canadian is cheaper here in The States than in Canada, go figure.

This week… it’s going to be great. Granted, it’s half over, so I kinda know how it’s going to be turning out already, but whatever. So, #1 reason why this week will rock… Spider-Man is out! YEAH!! Totally awesome! Seeing it at the Cine Capri at 6.10 after work… already have my ticket and everything! What sucks is that movies at the Cine Capri cost more than at the other theatres in the same building! Yes, instead of $8 for the movie, it’s $9… I could have gotten it for $7.50 if I had remembered my student ID, damn it!

Other reasons why this week is going to rock… I get to see my friend Kaci from NAU for the first time in almost a year! How is it that two people can live in the same city, yet not make the time to get together more than once a year? How strange… Anyway, that’s going to be great, there is sooo much for us to catch up on and all that stuff. And when I mean we don’t see each other, I mean we don’t even call or email or anything… isn’t that weird? Maybe an IM every once in a while if we’re both on-line at the same time… but that’s rare! Another reason… This weekend is a long weekend! Who doesn’t love holiday weekends? What’s even better is that it’s the 4th of July weekend… probably the second best Holiday in my book. Of course, I know some people don’t feel that way, but that’s ok… I guess (j/k). Let me see.. what else is kick ass about this week… oh yeah, my supervisor is still in Hawaii working (or so we are to believe) and won’t be back until Thursday… that means a bit of slacking off at work is in order… yeah!! So yeah, this week kicks ass and is going to be great!

Another side note… I LOVE MY CAR!!

Now, on to the movies I have recently seen…

My scoring table: (a bit harsh?)

* crap
** ok, but still crap
*** rental worthy, a bit of crap
**** definitely recommend seeing on the big screen, but rental if you just can’t make it - no crap here.
***** if you don’t see this movie in the theatre, God will hate you. - Absolutely no crap here, you should probably even see this one twice.

Love Me If You Dare (Independent) **
Ok, the trailer for this movie made it look like it would actually be good. Oh My God. Ok, first of all, the movie is subtitled (unless you speak French) which means that the movie has to be relatively good to keep your interest. Nope, no interest here… and I actually got lost half way through… the story started out good but then it seemed like the writer lost his way and the story just went to pieces… crazy. I do not recommend seeing this movie at all… unless you can see it for free somehow.

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story ***
Again, a movie that had an awesome trailer, but all the good parts are in the preview, save a few. So yeah, it was funny… but kind of dumb. Ben Stiller’s character reminded me too much of Zoolander (not a bad thing if you’re watching Zoolander). Also, some jokes were only funny if you are under the age of 12… I gave this movie 3 stars just because I think it’s ok to see in your own home, but I don’t believe that you should pay to see it in the theatre.

Saved! (Just saw it today!) ****
Ok, totally not what I expected this movie to be but it’s really good. There are funny parts, some hidden sexual references, etc… all well and good.. some nice poking fun of crazy Christian extremists… stereotyped people you would know if you attended a Christian school (i did, so it was even more funny and I can attest to the fact that it’s scarily accurate at times). But, this movie stuck to it’s title, not in a spiritual sense, but in just a general life sense… the life of a teenage girl, even a bit of what all teenagers go through during those awkward high school years. Anyway, I recommend seeing this movie in the theatre… it’s not as popular as it could have been so it’s exiting the theatres fast… so see it ASAP. Yeah, a great movie… all the elements of a good film… comedy (jokes, pranks, midgets, etc) and drama packaged together perfectly. I won’t lie, I have nothing to hide, some parts of this movie made me a bit watery eyed.. yup, exactly, how crazy is that?? (not so crazy when you can apply some situations to things that have happened to you or ppl you know in your life). Ok, enough of this, just go see it, you won’t be disappointed!

Spider-Man 2 - A REVIEW TO COME TOMORROW (I’m anticipating 5 star rating)

A Side Note - Again - DBacks Lose 11th Straight! Yeah! We Rock! On a happy note, Randy Johnson reached 4000 career strikeouts tonight! Amazing!!!

Oooo! Another side note - Britney Spears. WTF? Why would you marry someone who is having a child with another woman in the next few weeks?? What? What? What? I have no other words… What????

Ok, that’s all for this update, I believe. I can’t think of anything else….

Some funny things;

The word funny (doesn’t it just look kind of strange spelled out??)
Canadians
Southpark
Canadians
Many things at HomeStarRunner.com
The word chipper… well, it’s not really funny, but it made me laugh tonight when I picked it…

and of course, Canadians

Ok, so I’ve been really bad at keeping up on my posts here… but this next week will be much less hectic than the past week was.

Normally I only work the weekend baseball games at the BOB (which, btw, will have a new name come December, how sad). But this last week was Yankees week so they needed all the help the could get. So guess who stepped up? That’s right, me. So I went to my real job at 7.30am, left there by 4.15 to arrive at the game by 5pm and worked until after 9.30pm and got to bed by 11pm so I could rise at 5.30am to do it all over again… not much fun. But the D-Backs are on the road for 10 days, whew! Of course, they only won one game this home stand, out of 6 games played… boooo!! oh well!! (we took 2 of 3 from the Jays last week, so it’s all good).

This upcoming week will be filled by movies… I have too many to see and not enough time to see them in. Top three on my list are Love Me If You Dare, Dodge Ball, and Saved! (the last one is going to be great!)

Ok, time for bed, I have work tomorrow… yuck!

Yikes! Damn it was hot today! Just wait till tomorrow… supposidly it’ll be hotter! oh well.. i should be used to it… (i don’t think you ever get used to the heat).

Just wanted to post a quick note to mention that I have found the IM Live at Yahoo!…. not good… but it’s very entertaining… check it out if you have time…

Time to go… stuff is waiting to be done!!

OH! Project went into production today… we’ll see what the damage is in the morning! Yikes!!

Another post?? So soon? Yeah… I had to share this info…

What is the greatest idea ever by a company??

That would be offering a **FREE** single of the week by Apple through iTunes! Who doesn’t love FREE stuff?? Especially when it’s music???

Just wanted to share that!

OH! And for you Nintendo freaks (you know who you are!!)… here’s a Flash story you have to see… parts 1 - 4.

I am sooooo glad this is a 4 day week. Tomorrow our project goes into production… not going to be good… very scary. Supposedly we’re going to start with the smallest part of the carrier and work our way up… but we’ll see. I’m just not looking forward to troubleshooting all the issues that may (will) make themselves known once we go live with this… I guess this will be the end of “boring” work weeks?

Anyway, the baseball game last night was pathetic… hardly anyone was there, it was super hot, and the time seemed to drag on forever! I seriously don’t know why I do it anymore… oh yeah, $9.50 an hour to do shit…

And I didn’t post yesterday, so here’s what happened yesterday…

Got up early to wash and wax my car… figured I’d better get up and do it before it got too hot out. So I was up and outside by 7am, and what do I notice… I have a flat tire… WTF?? I seriously only drove to Target on Sunday and the car has been sitting in the driveway since then… Turns out there was a Phillips head screw in the tire. I had to call around to about 8 different places before I found one that was open on the Holiday. Then I spent about an hour or so waiting to get it fixed… Then I got home and waxed my car… (I had washed it before I went to get the tire fixed because nothing opened until 8am or so anyway). After I got done waxing the car, I only had about 2 hours before I had to be down at the ballpark for work… So, my 3 day weekend turned into a 1 day weekend… not fun.

ok, that’s enough for one post. I’ve bored you enough! :)
