There's lots more things to do

I'm pretty much a happy camper. This might have something to do with the Ortiz/Liddell fight coming on soon. Or maybe the fact that I'm housesitting so I have a reason to ditch the family whenever I feel like. Okay, to be perfectly honest it's because I got the best e-mail ever. Three words: I'm not dead.
And while this may seem like a weird e-mail to get, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Then of course I got the other e-mail, the batch e-mail that was sent to everyone. I hate those. If you're going to e-mail me, I like being the only recipient. Thus the three worded e-mail. Happy camper.
As for the whole Christmas thing, I have to admit I was pretty disappointed. I mean, why do I make a list every year if no one gets me anything off of it. This does not include everyone of course. My siblings are awesome when it comes to gifts, probably because they sort of like me sometimes. And my friends are usually on the proverbial ball. The rest of the family however. Disappointed. Is Disney Scene-It really too much to ask for? I mean, I shopped around for it so I could relay the cheapest place to buy it. I did all the freakin' work. But no. I got a calender. That's it. That's all. And yeah, I am acting like a spoiled brat but seriously.
On the upside, I got a sweet popcorn maker. It had come in very very handy.
And a new hard drive. Which is also handy. Go team Spoiled.

Okay I'm done, I'll bitch about the world on online ordering later.

BOWIE!QUOTE: I think it all comes back to being very selfish as an artist. I mean, I really do just write and record what interests me and I do approach the stage shows in much the same way.

Merry Christmas Fuckers.

no, i'm not dead.
just studying.
i have a new review coming up sometime soon.
i've been busy at my other journal, posting left and right. because i rock like that.

Something New.

Okay, the other day someone mentioned to me that I should write a comic blog. As my current blog is aptly named Shoot Your TV ---Read Comics, I figured I should give it a shot. Spoilers will abound.

Let me start out by pointing out that I read comics. This should be obvious, but I mentioned it just in case. The second thing I need to say is that I know nothing about comics. I know what I like, I know which writers make me laugh, I know what kind of art I enjoy. With all of this said I present to you...

The Fanboy Chubby of the Week

This week, I'm looking at Punisher War Journal issue one. Written by Matt Fraction, art by Ariel Olivetti, coloring by Dean White.

This is the first time Punisher is mentioned in the Civil War arc. It takes place right before Civil War issue 5.

For anyone not reading Civil War, I'll sum it up for you as best as I can. The Powers That Be have instituted something called the 'Superhuman Registration Act' which requires anyone and everyone possessing superhuman abilities to register with the government. As you can well imagine, this did not go over well. In fact it split allegiances down the middle. There's the pro side, led by Iron Man. This team includes Reed Richards and the government, other than that, no one really knows. The con team is being led by Captain America. This team has all of my flavour favorites. It's got Wolverine, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Falcon, Black Panther, and the recent addition of Invisible Girl and the Human Torch, the list goes on. Those who don't register and are caught are put in a special prison and kept there until they agree to register. There are battles left and right, leading to the death of some superheroes.

Back to the Punisher, the first thing you have to notice is the cover. And it's flawless. He's holding big guns, he looks pissed, and he's wearing the skull shirt. It's everything you want from Frank Castle.

Now, I've never read any other Punisher comics, so I'm nowhere near an expert. I saw the movie, John Travolta was good. To be honest the only reason I even read this was because Deryk put it in my hand.

The story was a bit confusing, it start out with some guy that I'm sure I'm supposed to know who he is - I don't. And the government asking him to hunt down the Punisher. Flip the page to the Punisher sitting in a van doing recon on a pedophile because he's bored. Then some idiot calling himself Stiltman shows up, Castle kills him, and then the pedophile. The guy I'm supposed to know shows up and sends some S.H.E.I.L.D agents after Castle in the tunnel ( like the Moosejaw tunnels...only presumably authentic). He kicks their asses and takes their guns and goes hunting for the Terrible Tinkerer (Okay seriously who comes up with these names?), he finds him, gets some information and heads out to find Rampage. Rampage is a grown man who makes toys to play with while he pretends he's taking over the world. Nice guy. Rampage gives Castle some gadgetry and he goes all stealthy, waiting for Iron Man to make a move so that he can kick his ass. The gadgetry goes off and he follows the blinking light into the sewers where he finds Spidey getting his ass kicked by two of his former enemies, who are now working for Iron Man. He saves Spidey and takes him to the super secret hiding place of Captain America and the 'resistance'.

A lot happens. A lot happens quickly. And while I was a little intimidated by the plethora (word of the day) of information being thrown at me, I get it. Issue one has to rock so people will buy issue two. On the upside, there were some awesome points about the writing. The majority of the script is in captions. Castle's a quiet guy, so it's nice to have some insight into what he's thinking, even if it's just obscure Gilligan's Island references.

Now onto the art. This isn't classic coloring by any means. There aren't bold colors, everything seems a bit muted (I'm sure there's a word for this somewhere). The art makes everything look more real at times, and other times makes everything look ridiculous, like the size of Castle's arms for example. The facial expressions are dead on, but everything looks shiny. If i have to take issue with anything it would be the sheer size of Frank Castle. I mean, he's HUGE! For a guy that sits in a van all day he's certainly cut. and his arms are roughly the size of Spiderman's entire body.

My verdict. It's a good read. Even if you know nothing about the Punisher other than he likes to shoot things, it's a good read. I had to read it a couple times to take everything in, but I'm weird like that. It left me excited for the next War Journal, which is always a good thing.

The best art: it's a tie. On page twelve, the 5th panel, where Castle is holding his newly acquired guns (and probably flexing), and on page eighteen, the fifth panel, the look on the Terrible Tinkerer's face...priceless.
The worst art: the last page, Captain America....he looks like he's trying to dance to Ludacris or something, it's just not working.
The best line: page 30, when Punisher is carrying Spiderman over his shoulder:
Spidey: Hey, can we stop by an A.T.M.? I don't have any cash on me, so
I can't pay your fare.
Punisher: You don't have to pay me jackass
Spidey: Oh, awesome. Action is MY reward, too.
The Worst Line: There's a lot of bad lines....

end.

SURVEYS ARE FUN

Ten things I Love That Begin With The Letter “I”

1) Ice Cream….that ones a given, but seriously, I’m Ice creams biggest fan.

2) Iron Giant….it’s a great animated film with a kid that creeps the hell out of me…but I love it lots.

3) Image Comics. That’s right I’m cool enough to read comics. Image is home to some of the best things out there, for example, Invincible (which has gone on forvere and still rocks), Cassanova ( according to my go to comic book guy if you aren’t reading this you’re a fucktard…his words, not mine), Fell (which is a Warren Ellis…he’s the greatest), and The Amazing Joy Buzzards…needless to say Image is where it’s at.

4) Speaking of comics Immonen. He’s a comic book artist. And he’s great, AND he’s Canadian. He did the pencils for Nextwave (Another Warren Ellis), and it’s beautiful.

5) I Can’t Decide by the Scissor Sisters….download it..it’s angry disco wonderful

6) I Know I Know I Know by Tegan and Sara because they’re fabulous and the song is adorable.

7) Icarus…as in the greek myth about the cocky kid that didn’t listen to his dad….I love greek myths and my dad likes to remind me about this one far more often then he should…if you can find it download Icarus by Jason Webley

8) Internet. There are no words.

9) The Iliad….We everlasting gods . . .

10) Inferno by Dante Alighieri... Thence we came forth to rebehold the stars.

Mother calls, but we don't hear

I think I might be too picky.

I mean, I know in a lot of ways I'm really picky...but this time I'm talking about guys. Now, I realize that I don't have a lot of room to be picky, I'm not that naive....this isn't where this entry was supposed to go.

I went on a thing tonight. I'm reluctant to call it a date because we just met for coffee after my night class. And I'm not really sure that going for coffee qualifies as a date. I didn't tell anyone because I'm a little superstitious and I didn't want to jinx it. Yes I do believe in jinxing things, I'm that cool.

Before I get into a bit more detail I feel I should explain something. This boy, from my english class, asked me out for a movie. He had passes or something. I said I couldn't because I had the dumb night class that I hate. He said we should meet up later for coffee then. I said yes. I don't know why I said yes. This isn't the boy in the same class that has caught my eye. This is a different boy. We don't have much in common that I know of, other than our mutual love of movies. Or so he professed. He's not ugly, he's not gorgeous either. If I had to describe him, I'd say average. So I'm not really sure why I said yes at all to a boy I don't know, to do something i don't like to do, on a night that I never go out on. (mondays suck.)

So we meet for coffee at some little coffe place. I don't drink coffee, but of course he doesn't know that. We make awkward small talk, the whole...how was class...thing. Then he says he went to see the Prestige. So I figure, okay, now we can talk. So I ask him what he thought about it.

HIs reply: Scarlett JOhanson is really hot.

NOw, I might be wrong, but is that the type of thing you say when at coffee? I didn't think so.

So I said 'yeah, but what did you think of the movie?' this was apparently a very difficult question because he thought about it for a really long time. I really enjoyed this movie, like lots. Not just because David Bowie shows up, but that helped. So i'm expecting to be able to have a fairly decent conversation about it.

His Reply: That Batman guy was good.

That Batman guy refers to Christian Bale. So I was a little put off by that, I mean this kid said he was sort of a movie buff. I don't even call myself a movie buff....but I can remember Christian Bale's name. So i agreed again, yeah Christian Bale is an awesome actor, I like most of his stuff.

His reply: Well other than Batman he hasn't been in much of anything.

I think that's where he lost me.

Christian Bale was in American Psycho. Christian Bale was in Equilibrium. Christian Bale was in the Machinist. He was in Newsies, and Swing Kids, and Little Women....The guy was in Shaft for fuck's sake.

So i decided to stop talking about movies. We moved onto music. I don't know very much about music, I know what I like and that's about it. I can tell you about maybe four or five artists that I'm a huge fan of, and other than that I let Beth be the music buff.

What I do know, is that Fallout Boy is not punk. I know that Justin Timberlake isn't hiphop. And I know that if you like Nickleback you're pretty much guaranteed to like Theory of a Deadman and Hinder.

So here's my question: Am I being too picky? I mean, is his lack of movie knowledge enough to make him that unattractive?

le sigh

BOWIE!QUOTE: I never could get over the fact that The Pixies formed, worked and separated without America taking them to its heart or even recognizing their existence for the most part.

He gets in the way but we always let him play with us

Apparently I was wrong. It's not a poem. It's lyrics from a song called Citizens of Tomorrow by Tokyo Police Club. My only brother corrected me. Which is greatly appreciated. As for the song, it's pretty sweet. If you're into Geek!Rock. Which I really, really am. But you knew that. Or I should hope you knew that.

Sometimes I wonder who I'm writing to. Then I think it's dumb so I stop.

It's weird how when you think you're totally over something. Like really over and through it, adn then you're like, oh okay....I get it...It gest easier...that's cool. And then out of NOWHERE, it hits you like a huge fuckin' truck. And it sucks just as much as it used to. And then what?

Then you throw a Disco!PityParty. You're all invited. It's Saturday night in my basement. BYOB. I'll be there drinking alone, it'll be a blast.

BOWIE!QUOTE: To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.

Tiny Tim sings prayers and hymns, he's so small we don't notice him

I studied my ass of for that test.

I hate university.

I mean, getting a better mark on the test that I didn't study for then the one that i literally spent a solid week studying for is NOT okay. And i know, only a week. But that's a lot for me. Usually I don't study at all.

Midterms suck. Lots.

On an upnote, I found a poem on my desk one day:

I have a microchip
implanted in my heart
so if I try to escape
robots will blow me apart
and my limbs will go flying
and land before the ones i love
who would wail and weep
but the robots would keep them at bay
as i shut my eyes
for the very last time

citizens of tomorrow, be forewarned.


I like it.

The fic journal is up and running. And i have comments! It's pretty nifty.

What else can I write instead of writing a paper...The Dixie Chicks concert owned. Seriously. Now I have a huge girly crush on them too. If girlycrushes were oranges, i would have an orchard. For everyone who wants to go check out the preview for their documentary Shut up and Sing (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0811136/trailers-screenplay-E29606-10-2)I'm super excited to see this movie, i just watched the trailer a stupid amount of times in a row. They rock.

I'm country. I know it.

i'm done.....no bowiequote.....

Jimmy's ill with chicken pox, and Tommy's learned to ride his bike

I hate hardwood.

I really do. It's cold and not as carpet-like...And it's dusty and fucking loud when they put it in. Gives me a goddamn headache.

Also, as much as I love multiple choice exams, I hate teachers that do the whole a and b, a c but not b, all but f....Shit like that. Its annoying.

In other news...Dixie Chicks tonight! That's right, I'm going to the Dixie Chicks concert.

I don't care who you are, everyone loves a country music concert. And those who say differently lie. Country music is fun. And there was actually a study done, and people drink more while listening to country music then any other genre....I don't know if I helped or hindered my point....But I still maintain country concerts are fun. And the Dixie chicks put on a good show, thus, my excitement.

I finally pulled my head out of my ass and saw Slither. And now I'm mad at myself for not seeing it sooner. My total girly crush on Nathan Fillion aside, this movie was SO funny.
I know it's been pegged as a horror-comedy, which is a new bridge for movie genres. But it's not scary. Really gross, yes....Scary? No. It is really gross though. And yeah, it's not going to change your world, and you can probably sit there for hours and point out plot holes. But it was entertaining. For an hour and twenty minutes I was entertained. There are some good fuckin' lines in that movie. And because of Nathan Fillion it's a bit reminiscent of Firefly. Which is an amazing show. That I could probably go on about for hours and hours. (I won't). I can't decide my favorite part of the movie. It kept me laughing so I think people should watch it.

Other than all of that....I finished Veronica Mars Seasons One and Two. For anyone who isn't watching this show, you're a fucking moron. It's pegged as the best show on television by some of my favorite people. It's witty without being overly witty like the Gilmore Girls, it's angsty without being overly angsty like Dawson's Creek, It's serious without being overly melodramatic like the OC, and it's all around awesome. The characters are believable, mostly. The dog fuckin' rules! And the plot is actually thought out. Very rarely do television shows outsmart me, I pride myself on the fact that I know who the killer is on CSI before Grissom, but Veronica Mars outsmarts me very single time.

okay enough fangirling.

BOWIE!QUOTE: Pop stars are capable of growing old. Mick Jagger at 50 will be marvelous - a battered old roue - I can just see him. An aging rock star doesn't have to opt out life. When I'm 50, I'll prove it..

Charlie Brown got's half a crown, he's gonna buy a kite

Okay

I write too much fic. That's right. I said it out loud. Someone should give me a pony or something. The problem is that I never post it. I mean other than 'One Day At A Time'. But that was forever ago, and who reads fanfiction.net anymore right? I'll tell ya who....no one. Not even me. So I'm in the process of making a new lj account that specifically for fic. It's becoming problematic. Mostly just because the majority of the fic I write isn't really appropriate. In other words, I'd give it a pretty high rating. And the last thing I'd want is for one of my friends or family members to be bored off their rocks, look up one of my usual screennames and come across a bunch of fic.

I can't see it going well.

So, I'm trying to come up with a new screenname. And it turns out that every single name I think of is taken. It's becoming quite frustrating.

And I'm done for now.

BOWIE!QUOTE:It's true--I am a bisexual. But I can't deny that I've used that fact very well. I suppose it's the best thing that ever happened to me. Fun, too.

I'm sick.
NOt deathly ill, not even antibiotics ill. Just a cold or something. And all I've thought all day is 'I wish I had someone to bring me soup'.


So the question of the day is: What happens when you don't want tomorrow to come?

There's a special place in the rhubarb fields underneath the leaves

So what has happened since the last post????

I seriously don't even know where to start.

Um....I lost my job at VHQ...well technically i quit without notice. But it was really their fault because they shut down my location without telling anyone. Seriously...three days notice, that HAS to be against some law. Apparently it's not because they gave us the option of a transfer, i still think it's bull. And i got blamed for breaking a shelf which i DIDN'T do! I wasn't even over there....but whatever, i let Scrunchie and the Goblin yell at me for a good 45 minutes. And for the record i could give a shit if you tell 'Mr. Webster', whoever the fuck that is.

Um Blair got me a new job. At the pool concession. Originally i thought it would be at George Ward, apparently i was mistaken and it's at Riversdale.

Yes that's right.....

Riversdale....also known as teh Westside BathHouse....or if you're in a really bad mood you can call it the Indian Ocean like I do.

For the record the longer i work there the more discriminatory i become. Yeah i get called a racist, and a white bitch...and a whole range of differing insults at least 4 times a shift. And you'd think it would be from punk kids....oh no it's not....nope.....it's adults....adn grandparents, and the twelve year old pregnant girls.

Sigh.

Thank God my last day is on Sunday.....

I'm rewatching Buffy which is helping my mood.

I leave for Europe right away which is also pretty exciting other than the fact that our plans are sketchy at best.

I mean, i probably don't have enough money saved up because ever since Beth got a job at HMV all I can think about is buying movies and such....

Um....I'm a huge geek so i catalogued all my movies and comics....i have more of both than i thought i did.

Um..........I helped paint my sisters new house against my better judgement.

I went through the incredibly pinful registration process for school. WHich i DON'T want to go back top, in case anyone forgot. And i didn't get like three of my classes because PAWS sucks ass. (And i say like three because it was really only two and a tutorial, i havent turned that blonde yet).

What else is there.....went to the zoo....went to ruckers...went bowling like four times. bowling rules by the way.

I don't know....i'm tapped.


BOWIE!QUOTE:ON BEING FIFTY - "Fab. But, you know, I don't feel fifty. I feel not a day over forty-nine. It's incredible. I'm bouncy, I feel bouncy"

They don't have the time to learn the ways of you sir, Mr GrownUp

May Long....it was actually a really good long weekend. I'm pretty suprised by that actually. Let's break it down shall we?

WE're goingg to start on Thursday because it was momentus.

THURSDAY: Thursday my mom and my dad and beth and I drove to Regina. We had to get up at some stupid hour, beth was already up but thats besides the point. We dropped my dad off at some sketchy group home, which is different then a foster home in case you were wondering. Then my mom dropped Beht and I off at some mall for like 2 hours while she went to visit my great aunt in the cancer clinic. We had fries for breakfast and then ran amok in Walmart and such. THen we went to Chapters and relived our childhoods...anyone else remember Red is Best??? 'cause i sure do. And some dude gave me a banana coconut cream frappachino....which was very nice of him. Then we went for lunch with my Grandma and THEN we went to the science center...which was really the highlight of the trip. We saw an educational film about Greece. It was awesome. We took a whole lot of pictures.... Then there was the finale night...we watched Will and Grace Series FInale, then the CSI finale...which i could rant for years about because GSR???!!???? SERIOUSLY????? And the ER Finale...once again....a cliffhanger.

FRIDAY: i worked. THEN i went to see Over the Hedge...which i reccomend to anyone ever. Then Steph and i drove around for a while...then beth came with us. driving is one of my fave activities. My brother came home sometime that night....but i don't remember.

SATURDAY: I worked again...all day...without a mid...which totally sucked. But then my brother showed up with some food for me. It was awesome. And Steph came in early. So...yeah it was awesome. When i got home we were having like 30 people over for my Grandmas 80th birthday, which was mostly cool. MY brothers friend Stern came. I tired to warn him about my uncle but it was impossible...so he sat and was lectured by a man that doesn't know shit. And my second cousin Kim was dumb enough to bring her boyfriend. IT was mostly okay tho, it was mellow and there was good food and for ONCE everyone chipped in. THEN my brother and stern adn I went to pick up dave and went to Lydia's for a hip-hop show a friend was putting on. OKya, I'm not the hugest hip hop fan, i mean, i like it but i'm very uncultured in the many frms of hiphop....but even i knew that Leo killed it. We proceeded to have way too much fun and take way too many pictures...especially of the pretty men that went on before Leo.

SUNDAY: I finally got to sleep in which was practically heaven. And when i woke up there was eggs benedict that my dad had made! It was awesome. Then my parents took me and my brother shopping 'cause i really needed new shoes...which i found and they're awesome. I got two new pairs of jeans too...i'm spoiled rotten. Then my brother and i went for a little rip around on his BMX and his new longboard. I am very bad at longboarding in case you couldn't guess. Then i cleaned my room. FAcinating i know.

MONDAY: Monday i picked up my cousin Jessi (http://www.myspace.com/jessir22) from the airport because she's coming to live with us for 53 days, which rocks my socks. She's one of the more normal cousins which helps. We went for lunch with the entire fam at Asian. Then we took her to the campus to show her where her classes are. Who takes summer session i'll never know...
Then i had to go to work because Cory's a dick adn scheduled interviews without letting us know in advance...i'm mad at him right now...but i'm in a good mood so we're not dwelling. Then we barbequed....went to DQ....stopped by Franks....and then watched SAVED! adn then some Shalom in the Home....that shows Crazy.

All in all my weeekend rocked. When i put it all down it doesn't seem like much but....i dig it.

BOWIE!QUOTE:I’d never be content with a tombstone, it would have to be a monument of some kind...

Feeling Brighter Than Sunlight- Louder Than Thunder

Because I can't sleep I will update.

Um...started reading Preacher, which i strongly recommend to anyone who hasn't already picked it up. Warren Ellis may have fabricated his own bible....but i like his version better anyways.....

What else is there....i finally got a gmail account....not that i'll ever use it, but i really like signing up for things...like my hollywood stock exchange...i'll have you know that my james franco stock has risen quite nicely recently. i expect the ghost rider stock to follow and the pirates 2 stock to stop falling drastically. Wow am i ever glad it's not real money...'cause i think i suck at this.

One of my teams (CAlgary) was knocked out of the running for the stanley cup. I didn't watch the final game but apparently they didn't even bother to try so you know....way to go canadian teams? My other team has been getting stomped by the freakin' Ducks. I'm terribly disappointed in Sakic.

My dad and i went to dinner out at Karens, i really don't think she could live further away form my house. I didn't know there were houses passt Waneskewin...for the record there are. Her brother and sister and mom were there. Her brother Rod...or Ron....was really nice. And her mom was very mom-like which was cool. Her sister however, annoyed me to no end. K first of all she's fat, actually sort of bordering obese, which annoys me in itself. Second of all she's one of those fat people thats doing nothing at all to better her situation. I mean she slathered all of her food with butter and salt, talked about how she liked frying up her baloney, how she liked mayonnaise better than miracle whip....drove me nuts.

i've decided i like hanging out wiht gys better than girls. no offense to my girls but i mean....okay example....if you're watching a movie with a girl and you fall asleep...they usually wake you up, or move so that you do wake up. But if you fall asleep while watching a movie with a guy friend...they don't move a freakin' muscle, they turn down the volume, and try not to breathe too much. Despite how uncomfortable their position is they won't move just in case they wake you up. I really like my guy friends. Not in the...i totally want to date them way....but in the i'm really freakin' glad we hang out way. I'm excited to continue the 80s movie marathon we started tonight. SUPER excited.

and now i'm sleepy....

Your Lucky Underwear Is Red

You're confident and bold, and your lucky red underwear will only make you more sure of yourself. You have a great zest for life, and you tend to take on impossible goals - and succeed. When it comes to love, it's hard for you to take the time to open up. You're too busy conquering the world. So if you're looking for a little more romance, put on your red underpants. And see where their passion takes you!

BOWIE!QUOTE: Well if I ever get sent to prison I’ll know how to keep happy

Stay for a while, while you look for a whore

Okay....People make plans for a goddamn reason. It's not like we make plans just so we can go do something else. I mean seriously...sometimes people piss me off more than I'd like to admit. Take right now for instance, yesterday....like not even 24 hours ago...I talked to Steph and we decided that I'd phone her after class, we'd go get some food and then go to the show. Motley Crue's in town for those of you who don't know. That's a pretty solid plan...AND to top it off I told her, if anything changes just call and let me know.
So i get home from school and I call Steph....she doesn't answer...that's fine because I'm home a half hour early, so I change and straighten my hair, all that good concert getting ready type stuff and my phone rings. It's Steph. It's Steph who is already at the concert waiting at the top of the ramp like some two-cent whore, hoping that Tommy Lee will grace her with his STD infected prescence.
Now, I know what most of you are thinking...not a big deal, just go out and meet them there right?
NIce thought...in theory.
Number one, it's packed there, i can hear it through the phone.
Number two, I told my parents I didn't need the car because Steph and I were going out together.
Number Three, she has my damn ticket, and I don't want to drive all the way out there and not be able to find her because God knows that the second those doors open she's going to forget i even exist...if she hasn't already.
And yeah it's one of my pet peeves when people bail on plans. But still...the decent thing to do would've been to give me a heads-up. A two minute phone call "Hey, we're heading out now, do you want to come?"...like give me the fuckin' option.
But no, so now I have to try and beg the car from my parents, who both have plans..seperate plans of course...drive out to a concert alone...try and find Steph in a group of people..all of which i'm assumiong will be wearing close to the same thing...just to see a band i don't really like.
I'm two steps away from calling and telling her I'm not coming. I doubt she'd care at this point...fuck I'm mad. And there's probably no reason to be this mad, but i am.
I wish I could call Marty and go with him, because he goes in the back way, which would be pro because i'd walk right in front of all of them...fuck.
So now I'm faced with the decision about whether or not to go. I mean, if i don't go Steph would probably be pissed off at me...sort of like me with her right now...and I could piss her off more by refusing to pay for the ticket since i didn't actually get to see the show.
Or i could go and wander around like a fuckin' idiot until i find them and spend the night pissed off.
Sweet.
My options rock.

This was a very angry post.

I am still trying to find the splinters of my soul that scattered when I heard the news....This is gonna take a while.

Oh and some more awesomely great news. I booked my flights today, all of them, for my trip to Europe which I will probably be chronicling in here...and I booked them on my moms credit card, with money that I don't have yet. But there were no worries...because I was going to get fulltime hours through until August when I leave. And today, I find out that Movie Gallery has decided to NOT renew the lease on the store. Meaning, as of June, we're all out of a job. This company blows goats...and enjoys it...regularly.

I'm in a horribly pissy mood.

I GOT MY COMPUTER BACK!!!!! And they saved most of my hard drive, which is fuckin' awesome. i mean, the stuff that i lost i'm pretty sure someone has anyway. so i'm okay with it.
So what has happened since my last post?

I rediscovered my love of Greg from CSI. He's such a geek and i have a total geekcrush on him.

i was just catching up on Mari's posts in her blog and it made me sad. i want to call her and tell her that i understand, that i know what she means and that it goes away. all of it would be true except the last part. I'm still waiting for the hurt to go away, so far no luck.

i don't really have anything to post other than i'm super excited for my trip this summer. it's turning out pretty fuckin' awesome. fuck is my favorite word ever by the way.

and i miss writing the way i used to, where i didn't have to try. i don't like all of this trying stuff.

okay i'm done 'cause i'm in a horrible mood and i'm not really sure why. Well that's a total lie but i don't want to rehash it in here.

RENT!
I own it already because I am that cool and Beth and I ditched school to go buy it. For the record HMV is two dollars cheaper than Future Shop and WAY cooler.
So school is back in session...And that really sucks. Yesterday all I did was start a new story in English instead of paying attention. Yes that's right a new story. And it's not even fandom based, it's a real story with people I made up. It even sort of has a plot, most of which I'm working out as I go. I was debating posting the first chapter on fictionpress but decided against it because I don't have a beta or a title or a summary and I'm far too lazy.
In other news....Alright so I have no other news. I added another fandom to my roster though, I think that makes me even less cool than before but I'm strangely okay with that. It's all Beths fault, she wanted a story so I wrote her one, even if it's horrible and already going nowhere after only ten pages. I think that may be a new record.
Tomorrow is Comic Day, just like every wed. But it's still exciting, especially because there's talk of Astonishing coming back soon. And that makes me very happy.
On a totally unrelated note I really hope this Europe thing happens, it would be really cool.

the end.

BOWIEQUOTE!!!“I've always been very chauvinistic, even in my boy-obsessed days. But I was always a gentleman. I always treated my boys like real ladies. Always escorted them properly and, in fact, I suppose if I were a lot older--like 40 or 50--I'd be a wonderful sugar daddy to some little queen down in Kensington. I'd have a houseboy named Richard to order around.”

Everything's spent and I dig everything

Wow, so much has happened and I haven't told any of you about any of it.

Um, what to start with?

Okay, Beth and I found a dog. It was running in traffic and we saved it. And by saved, I mean chased it down the street until we could convince it that we weren't going to hurt it. We put it in my car (which is now dog-hair central)and drove around where we found her to see if anyone was looking for a dog...they weren't. So we stopped at my house and picked up some dog food and then took her to Beth's house where she spent the night, we named her Rebel/Bowie/Dude/Ziggy...we couldn't make up our mind. The next day we were going to take her to the SPCA (and by we I mean Beth because i was too sleepy), but Beth called ahead and someone had already reported her missing. So the lady came and picked her up, apparently the dogs name was Ginger...our name was WAY better by the way. I'll post a picture of the dog when i upload them to my computer. Don't hold your breath.

I played an AWESOME prank on my work. Originally it was going to be on Cory, because he flips out over the stupidest things...so i turned all of the movies on the New Release wall upside down. And in the middle of it Steph, my bud and assistant manager came in, she kept telling me Cory was going to snap and break something. So when she left I called Cory, and got him to help me prank Steph. Since he opened the next day and Steph was in at 3, I got him to pretend he got so mad that he fired me. The great part is that she fell for it. I mean, REALLY fell for it. She was super upset, and then i came in acting all pissed off, to return my movies and walk up to her and she's all sketched out. Then all i had to say was "I can't believe you fell for it..."....needless to say she's not talking to me right now.

What else...Oh, Everyone who likes Yellowcard...or that type of music NEEDS Lights and Sounds, it's SUCH a good CD, what a good impulse buy. Of course, the other half of it...probably not the best idea. I bought the Mummy Trilogy for 20 bucks at HMV, in an awesome case thinger...20 bucks!! For three movies. I thought it good at the time.

I can't think f anything else, other than I totally plan on taping all the drawers and cupboards at work shut tonight. What can i say, I'm a shit disturber.

BOWIE QUOTE!!!: "I'm looking for backing for an unauthorized auto-biography that I am writing. Hopefully, this will sell in such huge numbers that I will be able to sue myself for an extraordinary amount of money and finance the film version in which I will play everybody."- David Bowie

oh yeah...happy valentines bitches.

Instant Star - just add water

Okay, I was going to rename my blog with a David Bowie quote...Or song lyric...But since all of my post titles are song lyrics...And I couldn't find the perfect fit...I decided to name my blog after a tshirt I saw...And wanted to own.

But in my search for the awesome new title I came across some awesome Bowie quotes that just got me in trouble because I was laughing so hard I woke up my parents...How cool am I?

So I'm gonna post one with each new entry I think...And yes I know my obsession with David Bowie is somewhat....How should I put it....fucked up, but hey, I could be publishing my obsession with Peter Gabriel...So consider yourselves lucky.

I just got home from work and I'm too pissed off to sleep right now. I hate getting called into work. Not that I had any wicked good plans or anything (that wicked-good was for you Clint) but I still like having a day off once in a while. And was especially pisses me off is that they can guilt me into it. It takes practically nothing, like two minutes of whining and complaining, the promise of a slurpee and I'm there. And it's always fuckin' Janie's shifts. ALWAYS. Jeff and I worked it out, and we've worked more of her shifts then she has. How cool is that? Also, I have to brag, because I'm a total idiot and I managed to turn every single movie in my store upside down tonight. I'm gonna get shit but it amused me for a good three hours.

While I was doing this, I found a David Bowie movie. A brand new one. It's a western. I'm excited to watch it, but I have five movies out on my account and so I couldn't take it home. Even though I won't get to watch any of the movies now, because I had to fuckin' work tonight....Ugh.

And I'm done, so here is the fabulous Bowie quote of the day.

"If you're going to work in a whorehouse you better be the best whore in it" - Bowie

Oh how I sighed when they asked if I knew his name

Okay, it is t minus.....not very long until the oscars and I still have tons of movies to see. Mainly Brokeback Mountain, the superbowl interfered with my last attempt to go see the genius that is Ang Lee. Stupid superbowl...even the half-time show sucked.

Also I've heard so many good things about Capote that i really want to see that as well. And i know i need to see Syriana and Munich....even though i won't understand what the hell is going on in either of them.

I saw Wallace and Gromit......SO GOOD. Almost as good as the Wrong trousers....but i don't think they can ever top that.

I had another purpose for this post....oh right....since i'm obsessing over having every single song bowie has ever written....i've found a new best song by him...yes it exceeds space oddity and even the rise and fall....it's called Lady Stardust, presumably about the woman in Ziggy's life. Of course the more i listen to the song the more i think it's about a fan, or groupie i suppose. or someone who is just so infatuated with him that she loves his faults.....been there.

I have recently learned that my stocks are down. Not my real stocks of course...i have no idea how those are doing, or what they're in....I'm talking about my stocks at the Hollywood Stock Exchange. I currently have stocks in Ghost Rider (the movie), Pirates 2, and a Star bond with James Franco. All fo which have fallen. I'm disappointed that everyone is not as excited for those movies as i am. As for Franco, i can understand his fall...i mean really Tristan and Isolde....not so good, a step up from Sonny, but still not so good.

And I'm done.

EDIT: I didn't even cheat....

You Are an Indifferent Ex

You're not one of those girls who thinks about her exes - or even remembers them "Love 'em and Leave 'em" is your motto. And your break ups tend to be a clean break. It's a nice strategy to have, and guys appreciate your total lack of emotional baggage. But just a little reminder: it is okay to remember the good parts of your past, even with exes.

What Kind of Ex Are You?

Mostly true ....However...i seem to aqcuire stalkers way too often.

Anyways...off to work

Oh, to capture just one drop of all the ecstasy

Once upon a time, when I was younger, I was sick a lot. I missed a lot of school, and a lot of far more important things. I hated it. I hated always being sick, but more than that I hated missing out on things. I had a bestfriend back then, who knew me by heart. I confided in her how much i hated both of these things and she smiled and said she knew. A week later, the second week of school, I broke my leg. The next day it was casted and I had to sit at home and not move whlie the cast set.
That same day my bestfriend slammed her hand in a door so hard it almost broke all of her fingers. She was sent home from school, but she couldn't stay at home because no one was there, so arrangements were made and for the next three days she sat next to me on the couch, not moving.
When I asked her what happened she grinned and said she wasn't paying attention, but everyone knew that door was heavy, the entire student body had been previously warned. I asked her why she was even at that door, it was out of the way of everything in our school. She smiled wider and said if I had to miss out on everything, then she would too.


Point of the story: I miss the fierce loyalty that comes with childhood friends.....and I wish I still knew her.

The bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar

I can't do this, and I don't know why I thought I could.

My post just got deleted.....It was quite long......I'll try and write it again


I hate school. That about covers it.

I have acquired a few new addictions. One being stupid pins. Not safety pins, thankfully. Just random stupid pins that I put on everything I own. Even my pencil case has a pin on it, A Johnny Cash pin at that. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my buddy Beth for the sweet Batman pencil case...I will keep pencils in it always. Also, I have a newfound addiction to magnets...Now I'm not sure if it's only for Roman Dirge magnets, or all magnets in general, I'll keep you posted...Because I'm sure you give a damn.

WHAT IS THE ACADEMY THINKING??????
You have GOT to be kidding me. <- That was my reaction while reading the nominees for the 77th Academy awards. Now, let me clarify something, i am an Oscar's addict. I take it upon myself to see every movie nominated every year. I throw an Oscar party. I am the number one fanboy of the Academy Awards....but this is bullshit. Let's go through it by category shall we? Actor in a Leading Role
Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, David Strathairn and Heath Ledger I can understand... But Terrance Howard????? At first I thought I read something wrong. Because he was amazing in Crash...Which is nominated in almost every other category....But Hustle & flow? They must have been watching some other movie because I saw hustle and flow. I got it free from work. I STILL wanted my damn money back.
Supporting Role
Matt Dillon for playing a creepy cop....Makes sense, George Clooney...Well I haven't seen Syriana yet it's on my list though, William Hurt was good...Not Oscar good...But good, Jake Gyllenhaal...I just did something incredibly girly luckily you didn't have to witness it, Paul Giamatti????? COME ON!!! Not only did the movie suck, but he sucked in the movie, even if the movie was decent he still sucked in the movie.
Actress in a Leading Role
okay it's obvious that Keira Knightly is sleeping with someone very high up. VERY high up. The movie was bad and she just made it worse.
Supporting Actress
The kid from the OC was in Junebug.....That's all I have to say.
Animated Feature
I actually did a bit of a happy dance. Corpse Bride was AWESOME (even though my stupid work didn't get it on time), and Wallace and Gromit are always classic.

The only other thing I had a problem with was the Original Song Category:
It's Hard out Here For A Pimp....This is when I realized that not only did the Academy sell out, but it's desperately trying to reach a younger audience.....At any cost. This makes me sad for society in general.

I forget what else I wrote about so I'll end it here and go work on my essays, I've been avoiding them successfully all day...I hate school.

As the World Falls Down

Okay, so i'm sitting here waiting to buy tickets to Aerosmith instead of going to class. I think it's a good decision, my mother on the other hand isn't too impressed, but she understands my need for these tickets, making her all the more cool in my eyes.

To pass the time i was reading all the blogs of all the people i know and like, which is few i assure you. On top of this most people don't update as often as i'd like them to. Not to say i'm setting an example but still. Anyways, i was reading my big brothers blog, and have found that while the rest of the family is mentioned, i am not. Now, admittedly, i'm not as interesting as the other members of my family, what with Vickie's constant drama, Mom's jet-setting lifestyle, and Daddy's new boat....but still, you'd think i'd get a mention. Speaking of Daddy's new boat. That's right, my dad had a mid-life and bought a sailboat, something that he's always wanted and now he has - he rules. Also, i've been informed this requires me to take sailing lessons. I don't know whether or not to be excited about this. i mean, i like the water, but i sure as hell don't know what a jib is...this worries me.

On a completely different topic, i don't like school. And not in the 'i'd-rather-be-surfing' way, although i would rather be surfing (nevermind that i don't know how), but as in the 'i-don't-know-why-i'm-there' way. I mean, sure everyone knows what they want to be when they grow up right? Wrong. I sure as hell don't, and while people are trying to help and tell me what i'm good at, that's just discouraging.
Examples: A)Be a lawyer - Why? - Well you like to argue.
... sweet. Yes i do like to argue, but is that enough basis for a career in law? i didn't think so either.
B) Be an English major - Why?- you get good marks in that class....once again.....sweet. And despite what my dad says MOST people with an English degree end up teaching, let me point out how much i DO NOT want to teach at all, ever.
C) (my personal fave) Be a Nurse - Why? - Well....your moms a nurse, your sisters a nurse, everyone is a freakin' nurse....I DON"T LIKE PEOPLE. It's a widely known fact that people seem to laugh off, but it's true...and nursing is gross...and yeah...(insert jumping off bridge example here)

So therein lies my dilemma, and what do i want to do with my life? Live like the people on the Fabulous Life Of....without having to work to do so. So any tips on how to do this....you let me know.

Ode to Me

Well, this is...yeah, better than the other journal i have, trust me. So i have decided that this new journal won't be an ode to stupidface. My other journal was, and it was all angsty and belonged in a Dawson's Creek episode. So...no longer ode to stupidface, from now on....an ode to me....or something like that. And i'm sure i'll have something interesting to write....tomorrow...

Cheers
