Served! Served! Served! Served!

[Wednesday is hooking up an electric chair]
Wednesday: Pugsley, sit in the chair.
Pugsley: Why?
Wednesday: Because we're going to play a game.
Pugsley: What game?
Wednesday: [strapping him in] It's called, "Is There a God?"

OH MY GOD! THE WEIRDEST THING HAPPENED!...Actually, nothing really happened, I just said that to get your attention. I know it's been awhile since last post, but what the hell. I can't tell you the number of times I've sat down, loaded all my pictures, and just sat staring at the blank blogger page. I always just end up playing a game and putting my posting off for another day...whatever. But alas, I eventually scoop up enough motivation from the empty pit which is my fucked up mind to do so.

Okay...focus. What did I do over Spring Break you ask? (Just pretend you're asking) Well, my Spring Break didn't officially start until Sunday afternoon after work. Damn HEB. But the week was pretty relaxing. Spent my nights chillin with Kristen, Alex, Krista, and Curtis. One night we went to HEB on a whim, and bought some cake mix to make cupcakes. We also watched You Got Served that night...a funny motherfucking movie. The hip-hop dance scenes were pretty intriguing, but oh God...the acting. OMARION WAS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!! (insert studio audience laugh) My favorite line of the film was the ending when (surprise!) the good guys win the dance off and they say "Looks like you suckers just got served...SERVED SERVED SERVED!" and the audience chants with them. Haven't laughed that hard in a while.

I also went to Austin for the day with Kimberly, Ted, Scott, and Sarah. It was alright, but all we did was shop at Urban Outfitters and eat at the Hula Hut. I really need to do something different in that city, b/c that's all I've ever done is shop and eat. Oh btw, Ted is Kimberly's new interest and he's pretty cool.

I believe the only movie I saw at the theater was The Ring Two which was terrible. I really don't even feel like venting my disgust of that movie, but all I will say is the first one was smart, haunting, beautiful, and edgy. The sequal was shit, shit, shit and shit.

Awesome songs you have to check out:
Amerie "One Thing"
Ludacris "Number One Spot"
A Perfect Circle "Passive"
Tears for Fears "Head Over Heels"
The Game ft. Kanye and Ludacris "Whole City Behind Us"
Straylight Run "Existentialsim on Prom Night"
Story of the Year "Sidwalks"

I've recently been checking out a lot of trailers online, and I suggest you drop everything you are doing right now and watch the trailers I have links to below. Seriously, don't scroll, just take a few minutes and watch them. They're rad...

"Let The World Change You, And You Can Change The World"

It's me once again...Apparently I'm supposed to update this thing on a strict and regular basis, because I get complaints from readers that they have nothing to bore themselves with at the moment. Anywho, my life is pacing along steadily. Same schedule everyday: Go to class during the week, work on the weekend. It gets old, trust me. But nevertheless, I keep my head down and do what I'm expected...

For those of you who kept Sadie in your thoughts, thanks. She made it through surgery okay, and was definitely glad to see our faces in the waiting room when we came to pick her up. I'm not sure if her ear was itching or she just missed me, but the first thing she did when she saw me was thrust her head into my legs and left it there for a while. Our veterinarian now refers to Sadie as the "Wonder Dog...We keep wondering why she's still alive"

You can see most of the tiny metal sutures in her ear. It looks painful, but she's a tough little bitch.


I rented a couple more movies recently. CAUTION: Do not rend SAW. Shittiest acting and worst makeup ever in the history of film. The idea of the movie was okay I guess, but the movie as a whole was laughable. The ending will get you though...

Do rent, on the other hand, Maria Full of Grace and The Motorcycle Diaries. Maria Full of Grace follows a seventeen year old Columbian girl on a suspensful journey to New York with a stomach full of latex-covered heroin. That's all I should really say without getting into details. Wonderful performance my Catalina Sandino Moreno...

The Motorcycle Diaries was one of those movies that I just randomly picked up on a whim. I had read a little about it in PREMIERE and also noticed it got nominated for a couple of Oscars. It's one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. Beautiful not only in scenery and acting, but in it's subtle messages whispered in your ear throughout the movie. The movie follows Che Guevara and Alberto Granado in 1952 on a journey through South America with their simple goals being to enjoy themselves, and meet girls along the way. "As the trip unfolds at the behest of their spluttering motorcycle, the boys discover more about themselves than they ever imagined possible." Sometimes the movie seemed so real, it felt like you were watching a documentary of the social injustice in Latin America at the time. Wonderful performance by Gael Garcia Bernal as Che Guevara, by the way. I love this movie!

Magnificent!


Oh yea, before I forget. I have two more pictures of the sky. The clouds were built up so tall, and I couldn't resist...



Laters for now!

Run With Me

Miles: Well, the world doesn't give a shit what I have to say. I'm not necessary. Had. I'm so insignificant I can't even kill myself.
Jack: Miles, what the hell is that supposed to mean?
Miles: Come on, man. You know. Hemingway, Sexton, Plath, Woolf. You can't kill yourself before you're even published.
Jack: What about the guy who wrote "Confederacy of Dunces"? He killed himself before he was published. Look how famous he is.
Miles: Thanks.
Jack: Just don't give up, alright? You're gonna make it.
Miles: Half my life is over and I have nothing to show for it. Nothing. I'm a thumbprint on the window of a skyscraper. I'm a smudge of excrement on a tissue surging out to sea with a million tons of raw sewage.
Jack: See? Right there. Just what you just said. That is beautiful. 'A smudge of excrement... surging out to sea.'
Miles: Yeah.
Jack: I could never write that.
Miles: Neither could I, actually. I think it's Bukowsky.

What a week! I don't necessarily mean that in a happy, excited way. It's just a relief that I actually made it through those seven days and I'm still breathing. I did pretty well on all four of my exams, got all of my stuff into UT before the deadline, got my shift picked up Friday from HEB, and Kristen came into town. We didn't do too much due to the fact that Alex was in Dallas, and we usually chill at his house. But I had fun otherwise...

On Saturday, my dad noticed that Sadie's right ear was swollen into a bubble. Assuming it was a hematoma, (filled with blood) we decided we needed to take her to the vet. Our vet's office has been upping their prices lately, so my mom was given a reccomendation by a fellow nurse at the hospital to try a new vet out in Bulverde. Sooo, my mom and I loaded Sadie up in the car. This proves to be rather difficult and embarassing due to the fact that we have to make her lay down in a bedsheet, and then proceed to lift her in the blanket into the back of the car. She's too old to jump, and she screams when you try to pick her up. It looks like we're hiding a dead corpse wrapped in sheets.

Anyway, after making the drive out to Bulverde we finally reach this new vet's office. From the moment we parked and I saw the place, I knew it was a bad idea. It looked like a shitty old shack that had survived a hurricane. The paint was chipped, there were bars on the windows, an odd smell, and a rusty refrigerator on the front porch. When you open the door, a blanket of raw stench slaps you in the face. The receptionist is shady, and we ended up waiting. After about 20 minutes of waiting, my mom left the waiting room to go outside w/ her phone. She came back inside and whispered "Get Sadie, we're leaving"...THANK GOD!

Needless to say, we got the fuck out of there and took Sadie to our regular vet. She's going back Thursday for surgery. I'm nervous b/c with a dog that old, you always have the worry that she might not make it through the anestesia. Let's hope she does okay, b/c it's going to suck if she dies in surgery. It will be very weird when she finally passes b/c she's been in my family for 15 years. Since I was three...ugh, I wish dogs lived forever.

My baby


Oscar night was Sunday, and I really don't have much to say. It was pretty predictable, and I didn't agree with some of the awards given. Also, I hope they don't continue to give out awards in the audience. That seemed so disrespectful to give out the smaller awards to people near they're seat. It's like saying, you're not good enough to stand up on stage. If I worked that hard to earn my Oscar, I would want to be able walk up on stage. Oh, may I just say that I have a huge crush on the not-so-good actress Emmy Rossum. She is incredibly hot...

mmm...



Bobby brought up an interesting point the other day about Jamie Foxx's performance. There is a big difference between good acting, and good impersonating. I'm sure Jamie was great and all (I never saw Ray), but it did kinda seem like an imitation. "Wow, he can talk and walk like Ray Charles, so let's worship Jamie Foxx. " Also, is it 'hump Clint Eastwood's leg' year? That's all I have to say. I dont' care for his movies, OR HIS SHITTY MUSIC! I do enjoy Hilary Swank, though.

"Looking back at her previous Oscar win, this shows that nobody get's beaten to death better than Hilary Swank" -Daily Show

Speaking of music, I cannot stop listening to "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber. Hands down the most emotional, beautiful music I've heard in a long time. I reccomend you check it out. I heard it first in the trailer for a movie coming out called CRASH. Bobby gave me a link to the trailer, and it looks great. Here's a link: http://www.crashfilm.com/

I took some more pictures out in the backyard yesterday, and I really like how they came out. It's amazing what a digital camera can capture.
