I Don't want the World to See Me

I hate hate hate, that I can only go back about 3 weeks on my flist, even with skipping the communities. Is there any way to view more? I haven't been on in a month and I am missing posts :(

I participated in NaNoWriMo once again. And this time I won :D First time in quite awhile I had nothing going on and I had some good write ins where we spent like 2-3 hours in near silence just writing. It was awesome. And, I made the paper:

My novel is about two bull riders who fall in love.


I saw an awesome movie a few nights ago. It is called Hell or High Water. It stars Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges. Those two are awesome. It reminds me a bit of True Detective, in that the setting is almost like a character, and that you start to cheer a bit for the bad guys. The dialogue is fantastic and lots of fun.

I saw it a few days ago. Still letting it sink in.

( spoilers )

Hobbit was awesome (review to follow at some point)

Man of Steel is the worst movie I have seen this year. I would rather stare at a blank TV screen for 2 hours than watch this again. Hate hate hate!

Going to see it tomorrow (well...later today as it's past midnight), finally! Wanted to last week, but something came up.

So, I caved and went to see it (was planning on waiting a few weeks or so).

( Spoilers be here )

Got Frequency in the mail from swapadvd.com. Guess what I am going to be watching until midnight :D Was time to finally upgrade from my VHS copy. It (and Con Air) are one of my fav movies to watch with Mom...for some reason. Get to watch in widescreen! *drools*

Not much lol, but I have seen a few movies :)

On Sunday, I went to see My Bloody Valentine--mainly because Jensen Ackles was in it and because it was in 3D.
I'm not too big a fan of horror...at all, but I still enjoyed this--just had to close my eyes a few times.
I have this habit of showing up early to movies, so I got there like 20 minutes before showtime and was the first one there. Played with the 3D glasses some, then zoned out to wait for entertainment. Wasn't too much longer before this couple came in. OMG they were hilarious! They were the type that doesn't take crap from each other, so they playfully bickered. The guy decided, while being painfully slow about it, on sitting in the row in front of me. Then he lined himself up with the center of the screen, which was right in front of me, and teased me for getting the best seat. He stood in front of me, moved one to the side, back in front of me, etc. Then he sat in front of me. The seats are nice so he didn't really block off my view. GF/Wife double checked that it was okay with me before taking her own seat. They chatted about the popcorn, to get nachos and candy or not, and...it was just so freaking hilarious. While he was gone, I chatted to the lady about some of the other theaters she has gone to and stuff.
Then a gang of about 7 noisy teens sat in the row behind me (WTF people? Next time, I won't try to nab good seats). They kinda irritated me since they were being loud and I couldn't listen in on the couple in front of me--lol.
Okay, movie time. Got the sign to put on glasses. Immediately everyone ooh'ed over the 3D logo.
I hadn't seen a 3D movie before, and it was definitely impressive. Glad that they didn't over use the scenes that had stuff jumping out towards you. Made the times that it did happen all the more effective. Example: Toward the very beginning. Bad guy with a Pick Axe--Scene was shows in some promotional interviews and stuff. Baddie throws the weapon towards the 'viewers' and it gets embedded in a car, cutting to a scene like you would be seeing it from inside the car. One of the gals behind me freaked out and dropped her popcorn. LMAO!
But the gore...definitely didn't need to see a 3D look at the inside of a gal who had her heart cut out. Or someone's head chopped in half with a shovel!
But the twist! Very nice! And I want to see again, but I really don't want to spend another 8.50--2 bucks more because it is a 3D.
The glasses were a little bit uncomfortable after awhile, so I had to cushion it with hair, but that did the trick.

I also went to see Valkyrie twice. I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. I really didn't find any scenes drawn out or boring, which is a rarity. Even seeing it the second time, there was no signing from me during any scenes at having to see them again. Definitely going to be buying this one when it comes out on video.
We all know what is going to happen in the movie, yet it is hard not to cheer his character along and cross our fingers, hoping he will succeed in killing Hitler (umm...sorry if that was a spoiler, because it really shouldn't have been).
(and yes, the eye patch was nummy :P )
Thankfully, it isn't showing here any more or else I might go again.
Maybe it will move to the little 3 screen theater so I can finally use up my 10 dollar gift card--worried that place is going to go out of business soon since it can't really compete at all with the new 10 screen theater. With the new one, if you go to the first showing of the day of a movie, it is a dollar off, so only 6.50 :)

Also, michelleann68 was able to find some cheap airline tickets, so in April, Michelle, Gin, and I are going to go to San Francisco. After Dad throwing a fit over LA a few years back, he's not even going to try to fight this one lol.

Mom's going in for surgery for gallbladder today. Has to get up at 5 in the morning and be at the hospital by 6. I think I am going to wait up for her to get up in the morning before heading to bed. As long as I am in bed by 5:30, I'll get my 6 hours sleep that I need to feel human when I wake up :)

Had to work early again. Got woke up at 6am when Ki jumped on me, curled up, then started hacking. Had to push her to the floor, get out of bed, and rub her back until she stopped. I was nearly blind and dizzy from lack of sleep at that point. Luckily was able to fall back asleep.

Mom and Jeff picked me up after work and we went to the $3 theater to see Iron Man. Very good movie! But the theater was like 80 degrees of still air. Uugh! Had dinner there--they serve you while you watch the movie.

Raced home right away to shower and revive myself. Definately bringing a fan next time!

Daily picture...*digs around on camera*

Here is a pic I took a few days ago, just as I turned onto the dead end road that leads to the house:

Another good day for stuff in Seattle. Went to a film earlier called In Search of a Midnight Kiss. It was an independent film, shot in black and white. About this guy who was trying to find love on Craigslist 24 hours before the new year. He finds a date and....well, telling what happens would give away the ending ;) But it was really good and had very nice and quick dialogue that really moved the plot along.

And, tonight, the whole reason for this visit--to see Jay Brannan's Fat is a Feeling concert tour. Eeeee!!!!!11 He was hilarious! And a lot of the people there (almost a full house) had definately heard of him and were hollering and clapping. He mentioned the Margaret Cho vid he put up a few days ago and the crowd went wild (while I squeed because I had been hoping he was going to sing the song. He 'claimed' he didn't remember all the words, but he sang the chorus and a bit of the start. Here is the version with him and Margaret Cho:
(WARNING!! Crude and very naughty)


I managed to sneak off a picture (hey, need to have something to post for my daily picture :D ) and I brought along the album I bought awhile ago to get it signed.



*flails*

Michelle had been wanting him to sing Your Body's a Temple and was sad after he sang his last song, but the audience was screaming so much that he came back for one more. After having that song title hollered at him (he thanked everyone for saying that), he sang it ^_^

He was adorable. While he sounds good on Youtube, he is way better in person. Uugh, I hope he comes back here so I can poke at Michelle to go with me again ;)

Worked for 4 hours on Saturday. I got the joy of getting the bookdrop. It was a bit full, but I didn't want to make two trips to I filled up out courier box super full and got everything. A lady came behind me and asked if I needed help--I jumped because I hadn't heard her lol. Box wasn't too heavy, but a bit bulky. To get back down to the library, there are these two sections of stairs. As I headed down the first, I missed the last step--so much fun thinking you are about to step on solid ground and end up not.
Managed to keep a hold on the box while falling to one knee and banging it up against the wall. Only managed to hurt my leg a little and it acted up through out the rest of my shift. A few minutes after, I asked Lou if he had heard anything. Naturally he said no. Oi. Could have broken my neck and no one would have noticed lol.

So after work, I went to see Hancock. Showed 40 minutes after I got off, so excellent timeing. It was better than I expected. I had heard some crappy reviews from it. Aside from the one OMG they DIDN'T!!! O.O scene (if you saw it, you should know what I am talking about), it was pretty good, and I enjoyed the nice twist towards the end.

A month or so ago, there was this online promotion thingy where you could order a button 'promoting' your favorite show. I naturally put down for the House one. Well, I got it today (because no one remembered to get the mail yesterday), and actually, I got all of them. Eh? I remember that the default button was set to the first one...I wonder if that caused some problems so they decided to give every one all of them....or am I just spechul? ;)
Anywho, here is a pic of them all:
