Movies!

Okay, I'm not going to talk about Paranormal Activity 2 or it's creepy trailer with the stills that scarred me for life not matter how much I kind of want to. It was a mistake to let the spoiler in me run free that day.
Well, yesterday Grandma bought two movies on demand, one I've been wanting to see and another I didn't care about too much. The first one was Just Wright, starring Queen Latifah and Common. I forgot how much I loved Queen Latifah; she's so cool and confident in herself, and I feel like her character Leslie is close to how she really is. In this movie, Leslie is a physical therapist who is constantly (but understandably at some points) placed in the "friend" category with men. I really don't understand guys with this, and I know girls do this too. You meet someone fantastic that you can have a real conversation for hours with and when the date's over, you decide you're not interested? I can get it if the physical attraction's not there or something, but when you actually found them attractive beforehand? Fine, go miss out. And Common? After 5 minutes of being on screen, I realize I had a crush on Common! I think he's a pretty decent actor. Every time I watch one of his movies, I'm sold on his character.
Then Grandma bought Letters to Juliet and I wanted to barf at first. I didn't really pay attention to is until the middle and I got sucked in, mostly by the cute guys that randomly showed up. The original Lorenzo Bartolini is very handsome and Victor, Amanda Seyfried's fiancee in the movie, had the most mesmerizing eyes I've ever seen. It was a cute movie, and one of the few times I'm glad everything worked out for everyone.

Inspiration!

You know, my friends really have to thank Square Enix and Disney, because with Kingdom Hearts' triumphant return with their new game Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, my mojo's come back with a vengeance. I'm currently typing away on my keyboard, updating D.O.M. season 2 and I will probably type up as much as I can of C.O.N. season 1. I'm kind of sad these stories can never be published; I'd be sued so hard my descendants would pay for it if I ever tried.
So yeah, my heart's only content if I'm creating something musical or literary. Woot! This post really wasn't very informative and it didn't have a point, I'm just happy I'm writing again. :)

Great Day

I, surprisingly, had a very good day today. I like days that are just awesome on their own instead of you having to set out to make it good or lay in bed at the end of the day and decide if it was decent. It was a very nice change of pace.
I overslept today but didn't sweat it; I'll get back on track tomorrow. I sat at the computer (as I always do) and after a couple of hours I found out VH1 would finally be airing I Love Money 4 on September 16. They won't release the third season because of the whole Ryan Jenkins thing, but the series is coming back! Yay! I've missed my reality trash. VH1 used to be king of the celebreality garbage, but golden, can with shows like Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and the spin-offs after it, but after stupid Ryan Jenkins from Megan Wants a Millionaire went and allegedly killed his wife, VH1 put the "romance" themed and I Love Money shows in a closet. It's not our fault he was crazy, why did we have to suffer? I know, I know, someone lost a daughter and canceling Ryan's shows was the only appropriate action, but still. I know, I'm a bad person, or at least insensitive when it comes to this event. VH1's reality shows were the only television I watched, so I eventually stopped watching tv because those were the only things I liked. I eventually got into wrestling and the Jersey Shore, but now that I Love Money's back I'm going to be glued to the tv. Jwoww, Sammi, Snooki, and Angelina combined are nothing compared to the Rock and Flavor of Love girls drama-wise. I cried in happiness when I watched the trailer for the show.
Then Amanda took me to get some Subway and my grandfather took me to go eat Chinese when I went to go visit him. Then he took me to Burlington Coat Factory to buy a dress for my cousin's wedding and let me tell you something: I'm going to look hot! I'm going to have to get a cardigan or something to cover up a bit, but this dress is sick! I'll be posting some photos tomorrow, probably.
Free food, "quality" reality tv, and a day without being hit on? This has been an awesome freaking day.

Darin's back!

Swedish singer Darin Zanyar has one of the most beautiful voices and songs I've ever heard in my life; he's in my top 5 favorite male vocalists. Lyrically and vocally he's a dream come true and a musical delight. Words can't describe how moving his music is. Well, he has a new track out called "Lovekiller". I think I'm in love with him a little bit after this one. I'd love to hear him and Travis Garland or Josh Groban do a duet one day. They should all form a new boyband. No, I'm not kidding.

Obsessions, Obsessions

Oh Ra, I've done it. I've broken down and watched the Jersey Shore, mostly for Pauly D. Then I discovered JWoww and I think I'm a little addicted to the show. I haven't seen first season, but we have the first three episodes on demand and the next two show on tv all the time, so I'm all caught up on season 2. Wow, that's a lot of drama. The show's actually pretty decent, but I'm tired of the Ronnie and Sam predicament. I'm also tired of Angelina's mouth. Just shut up and sit in a corner until I say you can have an opinion. Oh, but Pauly! He looks so cute! He looks like an Egyptian slave, kind of, like his mom was a noblewoman in Egypt who had an affair with a foreign slave, so they were cast into slavery. Yeah, I thought that storyline out too far. And Jwoww...well, she sure earned her name.
Well, I applied at a few places, but I haven't been contacted for anything. I'll just have to keep trying until someone breaks and gives me an interview at least. I went shopping with Amanda at Ross on Saturday and bought a few things, but Ross was lacking in cute clothes that day, the traitor. I'm going to have to shop again for real clothes. As much as I'd want to, I can't wear band tees and jeans forever. I have to grow up sometime and get a little professional.

GROSS! And COOLIO!

GROSS: I recently discovered I hate the word "yum", even "yummy". I don't know, those words just sound disgusting to me. For some reason, I feel like if someone uses that word in conversation with me that they're trying to be sexual, and that's just not a sexy word. Bleh. Nasty. A guy on facebook keeps saying it, and even though he's talking about food, I keep wanting to flag him. But maybe that's just because he's stalked me on and off for two years...
COOLIO: A couple of my friends and I started a team blog (it's one of the ones I'm following) and we already have two posts up. Yay! I can already tell this is going to be fun. I like the idea of team anything, especially on the internet. Like the co-ops on farmville.

My opinion on LKH's "Divine Misdemeanors"

I need to rant about a few things, the first being LKH's newest faerie slut- I mean, Meredith Gentry series, Divine Misdemeanors. Once I found out it existed, I screamed in delight. LHK has nothing on my literary homegirl Sara Douglass, but she managed to convince me that a long-term relationship with Unseelie princess Meredith Gentry would be a good thing. I thought the series was over with Swallowing Darkness, but alas, the series spawned a new book with the promise of more to come (yippie!). Most of the reviews I saw claimed the book was crap, but one positive one contradicted those statements and I have to agree.
Compared to the majority of the population in the literary world, it was nothing to brag about when it comes to plot, writing style, and other technical things (but then again, the entire series is that way), but it wasn't outright awful. The person with the positive review theorized that the other reviewers must've been pissed that Doyle and Frost (Merry's favored lovers) played less of a role than usual, and I think they had a point. The beautiful duo weren't the shining stars, but that meant we go to see more of the other characters, yay!! Rhys and Galen were more active than they were the past two books (Rhys more than Galen, another yay) and we saw more of Sholto, Barinthus, and some of Merry's L.A. pals. Maeve is also supposed to be making a triumphant return next book, so Merry has a pregnant buddy. Yay, two women with mood swings and cravings. The guards are going to have a ball with them. I miss the queen. She was insane, but I liked her.
Now, plot bunnies. A secret about Meredith's beloved late father is hinted at, a whole new race of fey is wanting some of Merry's attention, and a fairy godmother actually exists. Oh boy. Who knows what's going to happen. I didn't think the story would be fun without Meredith screwing for her life and a throne, but L.A.'s got magical powers of it's own, apparently, especially when it comes to dangerous murder plots on a faerie princess. Ew, I hate that spelling of fairy, I'm a 90's kid.
