If we die, we die together

Hmm, well, it seems my promise to once again not neglect this has been broken. Life gets in the way, okay? I can't just jump through hoops for people and post all the time. Even my LJ and my food blog have been suffering thanks to the schedule I'm on.

My weekdays are thus:
-7:15 AM: Wake up, get dressed, grab something quick for breakfast
-8:15 AM: In Starbucks in Greenbelt for my additional, or second, breakfast of a tall hot chocolate and a blueberry scone/Mallorca sweet bread/plain bagel with cream cheese, while I read a large book to wile away the minutes
-9:15 AM: Clock into work
-9:30-9:55 AM: Unload the stock truck
-10:30/10:45-11:45 AM: Put out stock onto sales floor
-11:50-12:30/1:30 PM: Unload boxes
-1:30-1:45/1:45-2 PM: 15 minute break
-1:45/2PM: Back to work hanging clothes
-2:45: Put out clothes onto sales floor
-3 PM: So long, suckers!

I don't work my second job until Fridays, and that's always 4-9. Some days, I drop Mom off at her second job and then go to the gym at my school for an hour {sometimes a little less} and roleplay/watch movies. I also do this on days when she's not at her second job.

Weekends are strictly me time, where I can sleep in and stay in my pajamas all day.

I am thankful for the 3 day weekend I have this time around. Thanks to Memorial Day on Monday, we get no stock truck, so the stock associates don't have to come in. Bliss!

In Other News:
*I have yet another celebrity crush to add to the growing multitude of them. Michael Sheen is a god among men, and I try as hard as I can to block out that he was in the Underworld films {though I loved the 1st one for awhile} and the new Twilight movies {JUST...NO}, despite the fact he looks fine as fuck as a werewolf.

Awww yeah.

Normally, he's a talented actor in films such as 'The Music Within' {he plays a man with cerebral palsy}, 'The Queen', 'Frost/Nixon', 'The Damned United' and has guest starred as one of my favorite TV characters ever on '30 Rock'. And through it all, he has retained that charming geekiness.

MMMF

Also, I firmly believe he should be the person playing Bilbo Baggins in 'The Hobbit'. Who can I talk to to make this happen?

*I'm currently trying to save up for a trip to Florida in October for the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot. It'll be my 3rd time going to Disney World, and I predict this one will be even better than the last. Chief among those reasons is because it's much less expensive than the last trip, we're flying this time, and because I can drink if I like {I will be}.
There was talk about a tequila tasting, in between all the wine and food tastings, so that should be interesting.

*Muse's new song 'Neutron Star Collision' is on the 'Eclipse' soundtrack {3rd in the 'Twilight' series}, and even though the song is legit cheesy and sappy, and I get blinded by rage if I have to recall what it's associated with, I love this song.



And speaking of Muse, I'm seeing them for the 5th time in October, after the Florida trip, in Virginia with my very good friend Davey, who is moving here from Kentucky on June 3rd. We plan to meet them after the show, and I hope we are successful in this venture.

Those are the rules of shotgun, don't you know? Title is from 'Supernatural'.

General Blogging
I just finished my season 1 rewatch of 'Supernatural'. Because of a behind the scenes interview with Jensen and Jared, where Jensen mentioned there was a drinking game where whenever Sam says "Dean", you take a shot or something. After I saw this, I noticed that Sam says his brother's name an awful lot, and so decided to keep track of it throughout the series. And to keep it fair, I decided to see how many times Dean says "Sam" throughout the show as well.

Final count for season 1:
-Number of times Sam says "Dean": 138
-Number of times Dean says "Sam": 130

Seems like a lot, doesn't it? I may have missed one or two, but on the whole, this is pretty accurate.

Next time I rewatch the show, I need to keep track of Dean's Blue Steel model faces.

Actor News:
-Orlando Bloom has said he would be willing to reprise his role as Legolas in 'The Hobbit'. The thing about that, is that Legolas was not in The Hobbit. I could see him as Thranduil, Legolas's father, though it would be weird seeing him as the mirror image of his son, and I think too many people would be confused about it.

The Song Currently Stuck In My Head:
'Papa Don't Preach' by Kelly Osbourne. I didn't realise this song was a cover of a Madonna song until last year. Don't judge, I didn't start listening to pop music until the late 90's, and they never played it on the radio. Also, my parents hate Madonna, so I never heard it in the house growing up.

I played Wii Sports Resort yesterday at my friend Liz's house, and ended up hurting my arm since I haven't played the game in a long time. It was worth it, though, since I had a lot of fun.

Ohhh yeah.

Most Recent Movie(s)/TV Show(s) I've Seen At Home:
'Blood Diamond'
Directed by Edward Zwick, and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Djimon Honsou and Jennfier Connolly, the movie takes place in 1999 in Sierra Leone during the Sierra Leone Civil War. Like a few of Zwick's other films, this is taking place during a time of strife in a country; the Civil War in 'Glory', the Satsuma Rebellion in 'The Last Samurai', and that adds much to the tension and story in that there are many different ways the story could go. This took awhile for me to get into, but once I was in, I was hooked. Though much like Zwick's other films, it's kind of predictable after awhile. It was a good film, though.

Grade: B+

I think everyone's got boundless hypocrisy in them. They just have to know where to look. Title is from 'Tombstone'.

The Day So Far
I had a dream I was hanging out with the people from 'Friends'. And when I was about to get Chandler's number, we began to be overrun my zombies.

I've been watching 'Fringe' all morning, trying to get to the end of season 1 so I can watch season 2 while it's still available on Hulu.

Soupy Sales died today. He was a comedian who I had never heard of until I started watching 'Friends'. And I'm not sure if my dream was entirely a coincidence or not.

Maybe I've been watching too much 'Fringe'.


Most Recent Movie(s)/TV Show(s) I've Seen At Home:
'Fringe' season 1. Created by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and starring Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Mark Valley, Lance Reddick and Kirk Acevedo. This show has everything that is good about 'The X-Files' and none of its weaknesses. Though a lot of it, you may feel you've seen before, they manage to spin in an entirely new light and make interesting. Though it moves at a slow pace, you feel like you get more in each episode. All the characters are very well written, and it's one of the first shows where I really like all of the main characters. John Noble is hilarious as Walter Bishop, an eccentric scientist who was institutionalized after the death of his lab assistant 17 years ago.

One warning; as with all J.J. Abrams created shows, this will leave you with a million new questions and about twelve answers. There is also a cow.

Grade: A-

'Pain' by Three Days Grace. It makes me think of Rorschach, and that can't be all bad, right?

Jackie Earle Haley:

Oh, Little Joe. You need to pull the dead poodle off of your head.

This is from 'The Zoo Gang', one of the very worst movies ever made. Seriously, 'Twilight' was better than this dreck. And I never ever thought I would say that.

Anything Else I Can Think Of
Band You Should Be Listening To:
Electrelane. Formed in the 1998 in Brighton, England, by Verity Susman {also known as Vera November} and Emma Gaze, they were an alternative rock band who drew influence from Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground, Neu! and Stereolab. The lead singer, Verity Susman, doesn't have what you'd call a "good" singing voice, in that she's not that good at all, but she's very soulful, and you can't help but like it.

I may be biased because I was told by my friend, who makes music and who likes her voice, that I sound like her when I sing. I suppose that's a good thing.

A frozen Mudslide. With some sushi on the side, please.
