Robert McKee: ...and God help you if you use voice-over in your work, my friends. God help you. That's flaccid, sloppy writing. Any idiot can write a voice-over narration to explain the thoughts of a character.

It's official. The next two weeks will be the most arduous and sluggish weeks I've experienced all school year. Why? My ass is driving to Austin, TX to stay with Allie and Emily on the 28th. Haagh! (disregard the inside "haagh" joke) Whenever I have something exciting to look forward to, my days seem to end up uneventful, reluctant, and brimming with apathy on my behalf. Wait...every day is like that. Just kidding. Not really.
I just saw a kickass trailer for a film called The Fountain by Darren Aronofsky. You know? The guy that directed Requiem for a Dream and Pi? It looks incredible. Watch the trailer here:

I've been randomly coming across the new MTV show called "Yo Mama" hosted by that massive tool Wilmer Valderama. I really don't like that guy. If I ever met him in an alley one day, I'd punch him in the esophagus and run away giggling. Even if I hate the host, it's still quite the hilarious show. Basically it's just people from different hoods representing by disrespecting other people's mothers. Here are a few of my favorite jokes: (they're much funnier in a ghetto voice)
"Yo mama so fat, she sweats butter and syrup and has a full time job working at Denny's wiping pancakes across her forehead"
"Yo mama so cross-eyed, your daddy left her because she was seeing somebody else on the side."
"You're so fat, late at night you pull out the KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce and use it to masturbate to a cook book."
I have a new obsession. Her name is Nornna and I'm almost convinced she is God. I signed up for a free account at this popular website called youtube.com. Basically you download and store digital videos. Nornna is a frequent uploader and she has about 600 videos of her doing absolutely nothing. And it is amazing. I never thought I'd be interested in watching a young woman devour chocolate covered cherries like a dog, or brush her teeth, or eat hamburger helper...but she is my idol. Some guy on youtube even put together a fake movie trailer to honor her and her youtube glory. It's actually a really well done trailer and you should watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20t2w8zPBQk
As you all know, this past weekend was Easter (and my mom's b-day). My mom, dad, and Kimberly all drove up to Plano and somehow we managed to fit six people in Laura and Kevin's town house. Big props to them for doing that because I would've lit myself on fire if it was my home. We did the usual: ate out at nice restaurants, shopped, ate out at nice restaurants, and shopped. On Sunday I was the only one that didn't go to church and, surprisingly, I wasn't questioned by my parents; only a few jokes were thrown out like "You're going to hell!" Instead of church I sat around and watched The Squid and the Whale on DVD. Nothing celebrates Jesus dying for our sins like watching a fucked up and disturbing comedy about divorce. YAY!
Here are a shit load of pictures I took from the weekend. Enjoy stealing them!
So they built this "upscale" Wal-Mart to highlight the fact that Plano tends to be a very uppety city. Hardwood floors, designer clothes, sushi bar, etc. Here is Kimberly posing at a small cafe attached to the Wal-Mart.
Deciding to go shopping with my Mom and Sister was a bad idea. They went to this store called Sam Moon's. Basically it's this store that sells rip off purses, bags, and accessories for really cheap prices. It's full of crazy white women. This is Kimberly trying on some of their creepy hair pieces.
Trying to be Hulk Hogan.
On Friday we went to Mi Cocina. Surprise! We never go there. Also I was quite tipsy...and my parents had no idea.
This is one of the few times I've seen my father try to be funny. And it was frightening.
Parking lot.
Laura is head over heels....wait...isn't our head already over our heels?
Idiot.
Laura totally scored the last of the champagne. Chug! Chug! Chug!
The tulips I got my mother for her birthday...and Laura.
One of the best shots or Riley? Maybe. But good enough to be Laura's new desktop background. I should start charging for this shit.
Delicious strawberry cake from a nearby bakery.
Cookies from the same bakery.
We ate at Maggianos for mom's b-day. mmmm
Before Maggianos...drinking some cosmos. FIERCE!
Siblings
I look like a fat turd in this photo...whatever.
Kimberly and Riley. Yes you can steal this for your myspace, Kimberly.
Mom opening gifts...and Kimberly making me pee my pants.
Handsome cat
Laura preparing Easter brunch
REE! REE! REE! REE!
Kevin grilling
Laura is not cool.
Finalmente...
I've got to go study for an exam tomorrow. Laters for now!

Anyway,
You're such a photo whore.
And what the hell is an "Upscale Wall*Mart?" That's an oxymoron. I didn't know Plano was so posh.
Don't get me wrong, the W Mart a fun place to scavenger hunt at 2 am before going to IHOP...
