The things people say...

While playing Halo on Live.

I was playing on a team with this guy and we were losing but it was still a fun game. Anyway, he got really aggrivated when he couldn't kill anyone and he started yelling this to our opponents...

"Oh man, screw this! Screw it all! Screw your couches, screw your grandmas, and screw your pork chops!!!!!"

I laughed so hard.

I don't think...

That anyone reads my blog anymore. But that's cool. I'm perfectly happy with writing or posting videos for myself. Actually a lot of stuff that has gone into my web blogs has gone into actual journals as well because I really enjoy looking back on things. I just wish I could rip music videos off the computer and tape them to paper pages.

Well anyway, whether anyone sees or cares or not I am posting yet another Harry/Hermione video. This one is really nicely done and the editor/make of the video actually made their own little story out of it. Basically it shows Harry's memories in black and white, how he feels for Hermione and then later he discovers her diary and starts reading it and is literally pulled into it... then it shows in sepia (that brownish color) how she's been feeling too.

It's just really cute and there's a lot of moments in here from when Dan and Emma were younger which makes it even better because he's stated plenty of times before how Emma was his first crush in real life. And There's this one scene where she has to come running towards him down the dining hall and Emma said when they were filming that scene, she was so excited, she just wanted to run to Dan as fast she could and hurry up and get herself in his arms. (sigh) Cuteness.

Honda

So I've had my Honda for about 3 months now which meant it was time to take it in for an oil change, and where I take it... you get a free checkup with the oil change.

After having the Saturn for about 3 years, I was used to going in for the simplest of things and getting horrible news in return. There was never a time that I took the Saturn in and didn't end up having to have something major fixed.

So needless to say I was nervous about taking my car in today, especially with it being new to me and it not being checked yet. Well the mechanic came out when the oil change and check up where finished and he goes "Ok so here's the news... you need a cheap tire rotation... the end. Your car is awesome."

I was like "YES! I'll take it! Do the rotation!"

So they did that and then came back out and said "OK, clean bill of health. You did a good job picking this car out" And I was handed the printout telling me today's visit would cost 44 dollars! The lowest amount I've ever seen there! I said "Wow. I am NOT used to the paperwork looking this good and everything being so easy."

And the mechanic goes "Everything's changed now, Hun! You've got a Honda!!!"

So weeee! *spins around* That visit made my day. Now I feel even safer in it than I did before.


In other news, Michael Flatley has been the guest host on Dancing with the Stars this past week...

And man... he is seriously the most charming dude on the planet. I've only ever seen silly clips of him riverdancing with his shirt off. But to see him talking and dressing in nice suits... I was totally smitten! He has the most wonderful irish accent and everything he says sounds like poetry. There is not a mean bone in his body. Everything about him is so smooth and elegant and I've never noticed until now... he is adorable! He has the cutest face. And I also did not know... he's from Chicago! That makes him even awesomer.

So I'm gonna share a clip of him performing on Dancing with the Stars. It's worth it to watch til the end if you want to see a seriously awesome shot.

My latest video

I made a video for the movie Penelope for my friend Christina who absolutely loves the film... and I must say it's pretty awesome. Sooo yea, I felt inspired and decided since I made her hubby Andy a video he asked for a while back, that I would make one for her too! And I'm happy with how it turned out.



As you can tell, I've become quite fond of the effect of speeding clips up in reverse. lol. I really enjoy it for some reason.

Dance

So a lot of people know how into dance I am, pretty much any style entertains me.

Well, I was watching tv earlier, about to fall asleep when I saw this breath-taking performance. The idea is that the husband is a business man, in love with his job, and has to be there to make ends meet anyway, but his wife never sees him, their marriage is falling apart, she needs him desperately.

Hate the song like everyone does... but just watch the dancing. It's so beautiful.

Shantaram

Wow.

I just found out that one of my all time favorite books (that no one has seemed to have heard about) is being made into a movie.

This is awesome amazing news to me. Of course nothing will be as good as the book was but I have high hopes for this. The main character will be played by Johnny Depp who I think is absolutely insanely PERFECT for the role. Not to mention he actually personally co-owns the rights to the movie.

What also keeps me hopeful that the film will be good is that the author of the book is writing the script for it.

And the best part about this movie... I've only met one other person who's read this book. This movie will give it a lot more recognition and it sure as heck deserves it.

It is the only book that has ever gotten to me so emotionally. It made me laugh, it made me smile, it made me incredibly angry, and it made me SOB. Not just cry, I SOBBED. If a book affects a person like that, it is worth reading. The only other person I know who read it is a guy... and it made him sob too. So it's not just me being an emotional woman... it's a very touching masterpiece.

Read Shantaram!

In the words of DC Talk... I'm sick and tired! Sick and tired!

Tiiiiirrrrreeeeed of being scared to go to sleep at night. Why must all my fears and thoughts come to me at night? They're there during the day too but at least then I have distractions... when you're just laying there in a bed at night, there aren't exactly any distractions.

I'm just scared, I'm so incredibly scared. When does the nightmare end? Is it supposed to?

*pulls hair*

I am way too emotional. Sometimes I wish I could feel nothing.
