This originally started off while I was grounded for reasons I don't remember - wait, now I do. I don't wish to speak of it. Moving right along, this is my blog, chronicling the fairly useless routines and happenings of my lives as well the unexampled and crackbrained conversations and thoughts one has on his spiral to sanity. Enjoy...
I just had what I'd like to think is the most embarrassing encounter ever. Dear lord, I have had some embarrassing encounters in my time.
Before I speak about that, someone's phone just went off and they have the same ring tone as me. I'm not alone!
Currently, I'm kind of woozy and have been limping around campus because my leg is hurting. I also had to run across campus (which is fekking HUGE!) because I lost track of time and was late for class. Done, that's the excuse set up.
So, I was walking into the library at York. I was on the phone and not really paying attention and I was holding the door open for whomever was behind me and I caught a glimpse of them from the side of my eye and had the biggest internal freak-out ever! Thankfully, I didn't scream out loud like a little girl but it was loud enough in my mind. Behind me was a girl in full black hijab (I think it's called an Abaya) with just the eye slit thing. We very rudely call them Ninjas. This is who I thought about..
Thats' right, the Witch-King of Angmar. If there were any doubts, they're eliminated now. I'm going to Hell.
One. Don’t listen to LonelyIsland on the bus. You will giggle and smile to yourself and people will stare at you.
Two. Unless you are old, disabled, injured or trekking a baby/other large luggage, I am not going to offer you my seat on the bus/subway. Being a girl does not entitle you to my seat. If some poor guy (not me) does offer his seat or something, a simple, “no, thank you.” rarely follows. What does follow is the verbal assault and accusation that he is a sexist and one of the worst kinds because he does it under the guise of being chivalrous and is really subtlety trying to keep women down. (Yes, I saw this happen today) Don’t complain, “Chivalry is dead.” You killed it yourself.
Three. I have found the perfect woman. Some of you can confirm this: I’ve described the perfect woman as blonde, beautiful and not very bright. Her name is Kellie Pickler. She can sing and she’s got a southern accent to boot, which is fun to listen to and accentuates the stupidity.Watch.
If anyone has any hookups to Kellie, you know what to do. Amber, Sophie, Saima, Bill. Looking in your directions.
Facebook Status: Am I the only one who thought Avatar was mind-blowingly mehpic?
We all went and saw it. Half of us loved it (Mina for example has dubbed it the "Greatest movie ever!") and the other half kinda fell asleep.
Am I missing the whole point of Pocahontas 2250?
What was the the big deal? Was is the seamless/flawless CGI effect that a 500 million dollar movie should have? Was it the far too predictable but good (but old and recycled with no new twist) story line? Was it the good (not amazing) cinematography that you would expect from someone like James Cameron? came Was is that the main character really had nothing to lose either way but chose to do the "right" thing? Was is the new genre of Avatar porn that will be popping up any day now?
It wasn't a bad movie. It was palatable and at timed entertaining. Nothing pulled me into the movie. Nothing made me feel anything for any of the characters?
Here's the same message in 12 minutes. The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. There are parts about 2-3 minutes each. Watch it.
Someone tell me what the big wow factor of this movie was minus that it was colossally over-hyped for a movie that would be incredible if it was done with no-name talent and fifty million dollars but when you look at the names behind it and 500 million dollars just barely scratches the mark of being good?
You owe me fifteen bucks James Cameron.

p.s. on a side note, It's Complicated with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Stever Martin was very entertaining, with the exception of the kids and fiance (Jim from the Office) who were the absolute worst examples of children ever. Jim got better half way through the movie.
Methinks filling this area would be purpose defeating. It would also soften the blunt trauma the unsuspecting reader would receive whilst reading. If you don’t know me, really, why are you reading this? Instead of rambling on about myself, which I will do plenty, I’m going to list books I’ve enjoyed over the years.
