Just finished watching Memoirs of a Geisha, and I liked it. I liked Nobu and everything, but I was totally rooting for her to get together with the Chairman (did they ever even give him a name?). I guess I'm just your cliche sort of fan, but... oh well.
Waiting for Yuka to pop in, meanwhile I'm gonna watch Mean Girls with mum...

21/5/06 17:14I begin with two quotes from the Reader's Digest we got in the mail... I liked them XD
"You know a fashion trend is over when your grandmother starts getting into it. At least that's the thinking in England, where a bunch of grannies are donning hooded sweatshirts and baseball caps -- the favorite uniform of gang members -- in an effort to discourage crime. Said one senior to The Daily Telegraph, once old people start wearing these clothes, 'they lose all their street cred'."
And a total House line (think there's a real-life House?):
"I was talking to my doctor about a weight-loss patch I had seen advertised. Supposedly you stick it on and the pounds melt away. 'Does it work?' I asked.
"'Sure,' he said. 'If you put it over your mouth.'"
XD I love Reader's Digest.
( My new industrial )
Aze, get a picture of your tattoo! I wanna show my mom XD
Hmmm. Oh, Cris and I watched Hostel, and... ew ooger booger shiver. Half porno, half... just... gross blood and guts fest. Ewewew. Cris maintains that he almost barfed, and he was stupid enough to tell mom about it over lunch, which made him lose his appetite. I was like HAHA YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF and continued munching on my salad. I guess I just have a strong stomach.
Mm. Cleaning the industrial hurts XD Maaan. But I cleaned it good in the shower, then took a wet Q-Tip to it afterward to clean the blood away... cleaning it in the shower had made it bleed a little again. So it looks all nice and not crusty, which is good.
I got Aze a birthday caaaard~! I'm gonna go mail it. It'll be late, definitely, but earlier than if I waited to give it to her until I see her again.
I think I'm going to start my white strips again x_x; Once I finish my MDew. Because I whitened my teeth a little in that pic, and it makes me feel bad x_x; God.
...I think that's it? Peace.

I think I should go to sleep now. XDXD I replied to the remaining three RPs in my inbox... one of them twice, since she emailed me her reply shortly after I finished replying to the last two. And then I got sucked into the Ansem Retort. Which is freaking hilarious.
Ew, my computer was doing craziness. 'Restart Now?' for updates. I'm about to turn it off. Hold your horses. I'm updating. x_X;
Tomorrow I need to start a short story. I'm thinking of putting up a roleplay at TUL, but I'm resisting the urge. I've got enough RPs by email to work with right now without adding forum-based RPs. Hell, I don't sign on AIM anymore to avoid RPs there o_O; I mean, I only rarely get people popping up there asking to continue, but then there's Xen. And ordinarily I love RPing with him, but lately I just haven't been in the mood. So I use MSN messenger for chatting and leave AIM alone.
...I kinda miss Selph. o_O;
Aha. I'm so tired my brain's turning into a scrambled egg.
Oh, I watched Vanilla Sky again to see if it makes any better sense years later. It did, actually. It wasn't all that bad. o_O; Plus, it had Peter Pettigrew in it, and Gabriel from Constantine -- AKA the White Witch. I was like. Whoa. I know those freaks.
Yeah, that's all.

I just got finished rewatching Mona Lisa Smile, and I like how the total bitch at the beginning of the movie becomes so cool at the end, and the one who looks like she's going to go to Yale and become great is the one who chooses to stay home as a house-wife because that's just what she wants to do, what would make her happy.
And how the main character was wrong, in the end, and realized it after having it thrown in her face enough.
I liked it.
That is all.

I would totally apply for temporary prefectship at h_e if I had at least a term under my belt. But I don't think I'm familiar enough with h_e yet to attempt something like that. Too bad, because I have more than enough time on my hands for responsibilities and such. One might even say that I have (gasp) too much time on my hands.
In other news, I watched Corpse Bride. It was enormously musical and highly predictable, but still adorable. And is it just me, or does Helena Bonham Carter actually look like the Corpse Bride a little? XD Anyway, the whole time I was watching it I kept being struck by how innocently grim it is. I mean, marrying a corpse? Agreeing to commit suicide to stay married to her? The movie was hilarious, though, and put in such a way that it didn't seem nearly as grim as it really was.
I'll tell you one thing. Christy and Ryan would never let their little ones watch it. They'd be highly disapproving of it and maintain the view that the movie was made to corrupt young minds in such a way that they don't even realize it's happening. Then again, Christy and Ryan wouldn't even let their little ones watch Disney's Pocahontas and Atlantis: the Lost Empire the last time I saw them, so that's not saying much, is it?
I should wrap this up before my typing pisses Mom and Cris off. =D

oi what a day
28/1/06 21:38Okay, so, a little over an hour (or is it two hours) left of Hogsmeade voting I believe, so I'm going to attempt to work on this journal entry and vote at the same time... haha. Well, for some Hogsmeade communities. -isconfused-
Okay, so that didn't work out... I ended up voting my little heart out and then coming back to this x) Ah well. I got it all done, so that's good.
I think I stand a chance at placing in one thing. I checked maybe 3/4ths of the things I entered to see whether I was placing, though, so I don't know about any I haven't checked... whatever. And in one I made the most ridiculous mistake in the world XD Still get participation, though.
/hogsmeade
Okay, so, got up early this morning for SATs. The getting up was fine, surprisingly enough. Shower, Cocoa Puffs, brush teeth, check email while waiting for mum to do her thang so we could go. Went up to the test center. It all went smoothly, really, aside from our proctor being late and some guy who wasn't sure what he was doing stepping in until she arrived... but the guy was amusingly adorable, so it was okay with me.
I'm used to having 45 minutes for the essay portion from the FCATs x_@ So yeah, I didn't quite finish. I got in a good three paragraphs and would have been pretty finished if I added a conclusion, though given the 45 minutes I was trained with in Florida I would have ended up with 5 paragraphs, an extra stuck in before the conclusion for good measure. So. I finished my sentence and everything, and the essay went onto the second page, so I shouldn't have done too horribly despite not finishing it. I hope. (Anyone know if not finishing is unusual?)
I wish that you could work on any section you like during the testing time instead of being confined to one. I was cutting it extra close on the math, but I always had like ten minutes left over for reading x_x; For my first section I didn't finish filling in the two final student-answer ones or whatever, but I ended up remembering the problems and solving them mentally on break, and sneakily filling them in later -shame- Oi. Then on the second math section I skipped one that I didn't have time to go back to, and there was another from the first section like that. The third section I finished, though. Which means that out of the three sections, at least two I missed simply for not completing them. Completed everything on reading though.
So, yes. That was the SAT for me.
Then we went to Arundel Mills to watch The New World. We got there exceptionally early and bored ourselves silly wandering around the mall... I got a new necklace and shirt, and a necklace for Ash in Alaska from Hot Topic / Spencer's. Mmm... So yeah, then we went to the theater and I waited in line for concessions... the whole theater was running about 20 minutes late because someone had pulled a fire alarm earlier, so our movie was going to start later than scheduled as it was. A guy testing movie previews on a bunch of laptops recruited my brother and me to watch the previews and fill out a survey about them. Ice Age 2. Meh.
People coming out of The New World mostly said it sucked. Dad thought it may have just been because it was interrupted by the fire alarm so they were in a bad mood, but we discovered that it wasn't the fire alarm's fault. At all.
The movie was slow. Sooo slow. I spent the first half of the movie wondering when it was going to start. I spent the second half wondering when it was going to end. And the narration was annoying. Aaaagh.
High points: Colin Farrell looked pretty damn good in the movie. I never thought much of his looks before this movie and couldn't understand why people fawned over his hawtness, but now I don't think I can look at them with quite the same look of nervous uncertainty on my face. Oh, and the previews were cool. I love trailers.
Low points: ...everything else. Yeah.
Yup, that's about it. -iztired-

I'm working on moving into this account. I suppose I should really let the h_ers know and switch accounts there, eh? Haha. I have a lot of communities to notify-leave-rejoin.
My profile for this account is in progress.
I just watched Tristan & Isolde. I'm not sure how much I like it yet, but I did like it. I just started getting bugged by the way Tristan looked to be on the verge of tears 98% of the movie. I mean, the guy who plays him is a decent actor -- the role was completely different from Harry Osborn and the character didn't put me at all in mind of Spider-Man -- but... I guess the character of Tristan was a little mopey and stalkerish for my taste, even though I liked him a lot for the most part.
And I amused myself by finding out that Johnny Depp was credited at least once as Oprah Noodlemantra. =)
Soo, I suppose that's all.
