Snowy adventures

I've had an interesting long weekend that consisted of Battlestar, movies, a bar, phone numbers, and digging my car out from the latest storm.

Battlestar was amazing. I'm so glad the show is back. There were quite a few surprises and I get the feeling there's going to be a lot of people killed off this season.

I saw Revolutionary Road which was a mini Titanic reunion. Kate, Leo and Kathy Bates were all in the movie. It's pretty depressing. I wasn't expecting that. Everyone else seemed to already know this. I just thought I would mention that in case there is someone else out there who did not know this.

I came to realize that I would be horribly depressed in that time period. No one says what they're really thinking because they're afraid of how they would look. You're placed into a role based on your gender and you really have no choice.

I got another bartender's phone number. Well actually he asked me for my phone number and then texted me. I also got a girl's phone number because we had a really fun time talking about Twilight. Her boyfriend was really nice too and they suggested we all hang out some time. Twilight, bringing drunk people in bars together.

The snow storm was unexpected. I looked out my window Sunday morning and was greeted by snow flying everywhere. All I could think of was NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! My arms are going to be jacked from all this shoveling.

I'm enjoying the last of my long weekend with some Phantom Planet and a nice cup of tea.

Famous movie scenes + your favorite bands = a fun battle of the bands

Spin.com is having your favorite bands recreate scenes from popular movies in a different kind of battle of the bands. One of my favorite bands, Ludo, recreates a scene from Ghost Busters and Plushgun does an amazing job recreating the famous ending scene of Se7en. Check it out if you have a few minutes.

Being lazy

Heading out to Harvard Square for a quick drink with a friend. I've been stuck in the house all day with my cat and Melissa's dog. They're getting along ok. Riley is now sleeping on my pants. A dog is a lot of work and I'm not use to it. I need this little break.

I've watched way too much tv today. I watched Legends of the Fall and then Pride and Prejudice. I cried during both. I'm a sap who will fully admit right here to crying while watching movies.

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time. I could watch period movies all day. I love the dresses, the dancing, the "courting". Then I remember how I like antibiotics and the inernet.

I still have the house to myself which is nice. I hung out with the bar tender, saw my family, slept a lot, watched movies, made pizza. I think I've had a successful Thanksgiving break.

Twilight Toughts

We all knew the Twilight post would be coming so if you haven't seen it yet and don't want spoilers I suggest you skip the rest of this post.



Over all I was very happy with the movie. I thought the casting was good and it was very close to the book. I wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did. When Bella first walks into the classroom and Edward looks like he's going to vomit, oh that was awesome. I also found the kitchen scene where Rosalie breaks the salad bowl because Bella already ate to be pretty funny. Alice being Alice and telling Bella "don't worry we're going to be good friends".

Jasper's face made me crack up. He looked terrified throughout the whole movie and I couldn't control myself when he had that Edward Scissor Hands look.

I thought Rob Pattinson was perfect as Edward. He gets the tortured emo look down well. I was totally fine with him ripping his shirt open and being all "look how my chest sparkles in the sun! You should be afraid! I'm a freak!"

The baseball scene was perfect and throwing "Supermassive Black Hole" in there durring that made it even better. I could watch vampire baseball for hours. Seriously.

I like Charlie in the movie better than in the book. He seems more human than the watch tv and go fishing guy in the book.

I was glad they cut out some of the cheese (oh there was still some cheese). I'm sure I would have rolled my eyes if they tried the Bella fainting around Edward crap like they did in the book.

I'm happy and will buy the DVD the second it comes out of course.

New Moon got the ok to be made into a movie. I'd have to say New Moon was my least favorite book but I'll still see the movie.

Bad movie marathon

I've watched all 3 Final Destination movies this weekend. I'm not quite sure how this happened?

There are a few things that happen in every movie.

1. There is always one person who doesn't believe that death is after them. They start yelling at death and being all "come and get me death! I control my own destiny!" Yea I wouldn't piss off death my friend.

2. The character who has the vision always teams up with a member of the opposite sex to help them figure out what's going on. They don't really know the other person very well having death stalk them brings them closer together. How romantic.

3. Old people don't have visions of death. You have to be around high school age.

4. Don't go near cars because they always seem to kill someone.

Wishing it wasn't Sunday

Sunday already? Where did the weekend go?

I went to Wonder Bar on Friday with Melissa and Darryl. I just wanted to have a good time and dance my butt off. Melissa has about 20 pictures of us in the cab I have no idea why we like taking cab pictures. Darryl kept telling the cab driver "you run a tight ship my friend" which had me cracking up.

Saturday was rainy and I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I love that movie. I need to buy that DVD. It's a nice movie to curl up on the couch and watch on a rainy Saturday.

Today I went to eat lunch with Melissa at Panera. While we were eating our lunch this couple walks up to the table next us which is free but still has plates and cups from whoever was there before. Instead of just picking it up and throwing it out they flag an employee down to clean it off bitching about it the whole time. You would think these people who were so upset that someone left their plates on the table would walk the three feet to the trash and clean up their own mess. Nope they decide to leave it on the table. I wanted to say something so bad but I bit my tongue which I deserve a gold star for because that doesn't happen that often.

After lunch we went to see Burn After Reading. I always forget how brutal and sudden the deaths in Cohen brother's movies can be. It had some pretty funny moments, mostly with Brad Pitt. He needs to do more comedies. Does he ever age? I don't think he does.

So now I'm waiting for True Blood to come on. I didn't think I was going to like the show because the book that the show is based on, Dead Until Dark, annoyed me quite a bit. I think I threw the book because of the ridiculousness of it. When they went to a bar called "Fangtasia" I lost it. I finished it though and the tv series is much better.

Oh and last but not least my car is fixed! I missed having a car. It runs like brand new and seriously I've had everything done to this car so I should be (BETTER be) good for a while.

Back to work tomorrow. I'm hoping this crappy rain/muggy weather stops.
