Kristen vs. Lauren

If you didn't catch the season finale of Laguna Beach on Monday, you missed out. Not really. It was way lame. Do we really need to see everyone say good-bye when they're all going to the same place anyway?

So it's always been Kristen vs. Lauren since the beginning. Not just with Stephen. 1st season was told in Lauren's point of view; 2nd by Kristen. We can all agree that Lauren is a better person and a lot of dudes think she's hotter, but EVERYONE knows Kristen is way more interesting to watch. So why have they decided to do a spin off show about Lauren called The Hills? What about Kristen? I'd much rather see what happens to her in LA. Poor thing. She got the big shaft. Yeah, right. She got the naked Rolling Stone article AND she got Punk'd. You know you've made it when you get Punk'd.

I can't believe all the injustice in the world.

Bitch Encounter

So I just went to the bank to do that drive-through deposit thing and this woman who was “helping” me was such a bitch. I guess I had pulled up to the wrong lane so my bad. But you would have thought it was a crime against humanity or something. First she called me ma’am which I HATE. But I hate it even more when it’s used in a bitchy condescending way. “Ma’am, you are in the wrong aisle and there is a member behind you who has been waiting a long time.” This is after she publically condemned me for asking for a pen. There is no excuse to treat your customers like that. I could give a shit if she was having a bad day.

Who am I to say anything? I have worked in the customer service industry for the last ten years including shitty jobs at drugstores and retail shops. But I have NEVER been rude to a customer. Not one time.

She totally killed my buzz. What a whore. I hope she gets fired.

Harry Potter - Part 1

Could I BE more excited about this movie? I’m not like a super freak Harry Potter fan or anything but I have read all the books (although I’m not finished with the latest one so I don’t know who dies) and seen all the movies. I don’t dress up like the characters when I go see them either.

And seriously what is up with those people who think Harry Potter is evil and should be banned? He-llo! Why do you think they call it fiction? People are retarded. I think the whole concept is very clever and the stories are fun. Here are the big questions on my mind right now…

1. Can they really drag out this Harry vs. Lord Voldemort thing for 7 books?
2. What are they going to do when they get to the 7th movie and the actor who plays Harry Potter is 45?
3. Does Professor McGonagall date?
4. Is Malfoy kind of hot or is that just me?
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…
5. When are Hermione and Ron gonna hook it up? (If this happens in the 6th book, I will be really excited.)

When I finish reading all 2,642 pages of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I will write a follow-up to this entry. Don’t hold your breath though….

Movie Reviews

Two For the Money

I saw this movie last week. It had such potential. What with Matty McConaughey, Rene Russo, and Al Pacino. But it tanked.

It seemed like it was trying way too hard to be complicated and edgy, with twists and crazy behavior by AlPac, but it didn't fit together too well. It was just weird and wrong.

There was a redeeming quality about it though. Matty has been working out - damn! He looks FIIIINE. And there's some shirtless scenes for the ladies.

Does that make it worth it though? I guess that depends on whether you're getting any or not. So, for me – TOTALLY worth it. :)


Domino

I had very low expectations going into this movie. But I was pleasantly surprised. It was kick ass!

Keira Knightley did a great job. It's a perfect blend of humor, action, and drama. There's something for everyone in tihs movie. Hot chick, hot dude, lots of violence and intrigue. This time the twists and edgy behavior worked out. I highly recommend this one.

Trick or Treat KIDS!

Halloween. Good times. It used to be one of my favorite holidays when I was younger. I loved getting dressed up in cute little costumes that my mom always made for us. We'd go trick or treating and then go to this Halloween carnival. It was a lot of fun. But all that ended in 5th or 6th grade I guess. Then you're just too old to do all that stuff. I guess not everyone thinks so.....

I went over to my parents' house on Halloween to give out candy to all the little kids. There were some great costumes including these 2 boys dreesed as women who said they were lesbians. Awesome. And then at 8:30, the BIG KIDS came. I mean seriously, these dudes are like 5'6" with facial hair and they're driving their friends around. They come pounding on the door with just a sheet on or some fake blood on their hand and expect candy. Are they for real? But you have to give them candy becuase you have all this leftover and what the hell else are you supposed to do with it? So they win. Littlepunks. I wonder if they have girlfriends......
