Jumper (A film review)

Hayden is sooo so so cute and sexy

Rachel Bilson seemed out of place in this movie

Diane Lane as the mother was awesome

The movie was like a comic book

I loved the action sequence between the two jumpers

It had a lot of mini stories in one

2.       Take my GRE, my goal is 1300.

3.       Prepare to move.  Pack and organize room

4.       Volunteer, it’s something that I have been missing for the past couple of months.  I love volunteering.

5.       Write my memoir.  November is national write a book month and I am choosing to write my memoir.  8 pages a day is my goal.

6.       Take an art class

7.       Go to a religious service

8.       Take more photos.  Starting in November I will take more photos of memorable events.  Thanksgiving and Christmas.

9.       Pamper myself once a week

10.   Write about something positive everyday

11.   Talk to one guy.  Romantically.  Yes, I have never approached a guy.  Before the end of the year I will ask a guy on a date.

12.   Do something fun daily, something that makes me feel good!!!!!

Updates

 I am feeling sick to my stomach

I went and saw the DL Chronicles last night.  It was disturbing.  It was about this man named boo who mooched off his mother and what I can assume is his long term girlfriend.  While mooching he sleeps with almost the whole neighboorhood both men and women from around the way.  I think that writers tried to justify his behavior.  It really pissed me off  I would hope that Boo was more dimentional than that.  Maybe I was scared because a lot of men both straight and gay are like that.

I saw Why Did I Get Married.  I loved Jill Scott, she was really good in this movie.  Jill made the movie with an Oscar award winning performance.  Tyler Perry did good, because I have not been a fan of his.  Even though I did not like the fact he was an actor in this movie.  Every time I see his face I think of Medea, which makes me mad because Medea puts out a bad image for black women.  It’s hard to break stereotypes put forth by the Medea.  And black women are still being potrayed as sex objects, mamas (who don’t have sex?), or men like.  Thinks Perry for having real women in this movie and not a man in a bad wig.

I want to go home and get in the bed, but I cannot.  I have to hold up until tonight.

Tonight is Wenesday night.  My friend cooks and other people come over his place.  We watch America’s Next Top Model, Gossip Girl, and Dirty Sexy Money.  Everything is great, I am so going after work.

Hey NOW !!!!!!

Hey.  It’s been an interesting October.  I think my hormones are finally stable, thank God.  I am in a consitant mood for more than a milliasecond.  How had October been interesting? 

Work- program assistant quit, so now someone has to cover phones.  For the most part that has been me.  Then my other co worker in my department was out sick (yes, for the whole week).  Someone has been on mt booty and I am ready to move into my own office.  Ready.  I worked seven days straight!!!  Horrible and I am not proud to say that some of it was un called for.  We have a lot of events in October!!!

Halloween-  My mother is throwing a party at her house.  Which is cool I quess, but she wants me to help. I am like yicks.  But it will be fine.  My costume was not what I originally planned.  But I am happy with the outcome.  I am going to be an angel.  Yes.  I love dressing in white to, who would have guessed it.  The only thing that I am worried about is that I have to wear this costume to two events.  Lets pray it holds up.  I also want some bigger wings.

Friends- I have not talked to H and our show is back on.  I hopw that she is ok.  Still talking to J and M, which is really cool.  I like talking to all my friends.

Twilight Saga Notes

Notes from the Twilight Saga Series. WARNING: This entry will contain spoilers. If you are planning on reading all three books by Stephanie Meyer do not, I repeat do not read this blog until you are finished reading the books.

- I want a romance like Edward and Bella’s.

- I did not like the love triangle between Jacob, Bella, and Edward. But the triangle was realistic.

- I do not like the ideal of someone not being able to live without someone else. Maybe it’s because I have not experienced love like that before.

- I did not for the record like New Moon. Yeah I got that Bella was depressed. But hello, life goes on after a hot n steamy teenage romance.

- I read all three books of the series in less than a week.

- I am disappointed that the next book does not come out until ten months from now. I want the next book NOW!!!!!!!!

- I felt it was cool the way Meyers in New Moon had the months passing by on seperate sheets of paper. I was in such suspense and I could feel my heart breaking along with Bellas.

- I am team Edward, for all you Jacob fans.

- The books read like a fairy tale to me.

- Why isn’t Bella a vampire already?

- I am so glad when Jacob imprints someone. I hope it’s before Bella changes into a vampire.

- Meyers in book four could you not have them take on the vampires from Italy?

- Please do not let Jacob be in book four. You can give him his own romance, horror, and drama series. Please!!!!

- Can we go ahead and get the movie deal signed and in production? Someone needs to snatch this up and stick to the story in the book please. Hello producers of Blood and Chocolate the movie!!!!!

- What happens to Ben and Angela? Yes it’s minor but I would like to know.
