What boredom drives me to do...

Ok. Here it goes, another long ramble about what I am doing. But isn't that what blogs are for?
ok, so i was pretty excited and well entertained this morning, because two of my favorite Star Trek episodes were on and i watched them, and then right after they were over Confessions of a Shopoholic came on, and i was like, AWESOME, and i watched it tilll lunch. then AFTER lunch, i had nothing to do, so i decided to read my book, and heres the problem with that. Normally, there would be no problem, as i love to read. But here's where the problem-ish stuff makes its entrance.
1: the book i am reading is hopelessly short;
2:also hopelessly good..
3: so therefore, it is hopeless to think i will spend more than a day reading it because its so hopelessly good i just want to read it all in one sitting. and it is only friday, which leaves me three days until we get back to school ( oh my god, i actually had to think about that for a moment, that really shows my propensity for math there) and i can get the next book at the library. So. Not that anyone particularly CARES, but there you are. and i think ill go on about it for a bit more...
so you guys know i have an ereader, if you read my christmas post a few months ago, (or if i told you), and you should also know it is the awesomest piece of tech since the TV. in two minutes, you can find a book, purchase it, (for less than youd pay for the non digital version, i might add) and then you can read it! presto- changeo, instant boredom cure! now, you see, theres a problem with that too. its this... if the book you down load onto it isnt a substantially long book... well, then, you finish it in a day and you have to download more books. Wow.
you know, i only started the books in this problematic series because it was on my list for books i could do for my book report, and since i opted to do that the first day we got back from break (banging my head against the wall in remembrance of that brainless move) i had to already own the book to read it in time. And then when i finished it, i remembered why i had bought it in the first place, because despite the fact it reads like it was written for people way below my readinig level, which it was, (that was a bit of shameless bragging there, ill admit) it still has an awesome story line. And we come back full circle to wanting to read the sequel and totally not being able to. WHY am i telling you this? well, the attempt to stay away from my book and not finish up the 20 or so pages left in it, and therefore trying fruitlessly to prolong my enviable status of having a book to read, has made me divert myself to this. and in a few minutes, when i log off, ill just go back to reading again... ugh. if i knew the emoticon for frustration, id insert it here.
ps im eating this hideous orange gum that is only good for the first few minutes you chew it, and the nearest garbage can is all the way out in the kitchen, so i cant spit it out because i am woefully loathe to get up...ugh. ridiculous.

Some rambles about "The Alamo"

ok- so like everyone knows, all the history clases are watching "The Alamo". I know at least two people who finished it and want to tell me the ending. But guess what? on account of a shortened schedule last b day, i didn't get to finish it. lets ask the obvious question here. Am i mad? Yes! so i am reduced to waiting all through the week long spring vacation, plus two more days, to see the end of it. So this morning, during one of my computer sessions where i was facing the screen with a blank look on my face doing absolutely nothing, i figured, why not you tube it and watch it ahead of everyone else, eh? so i did. but they didnt even have the full movie, just bits and parts random losers had posted just to say lamely, "this was my favorite part!" so i gave up. Then i was even more bored, and having brooded on where we left off on it and the hints my friends had given me about the ending, i thought id try to watch it again. So i actually found what (Looked like) the whole thing. But it wasn't. youre not going to believe what i had to put up with to watch it.
1: my brother playing this absurd destroy-and-conquer game too loudly on the ps3 in the background.
2: EXTREMELY lousy graphics that made it so if i tried to make it full screen, all i got were a few tan colored pixels as peoples heads. Not high def.
3: there were chinese characters- CHINESE, of all things, scrolling across the top of the screen and making a huge nuiscance of themselves, then chnese and english on top of it, subtitleing it. lets examine the idiocity of that for a moment. You tube is american. Alamo is an american movie, made right here in hollywood. Alamo is about a part of american history. I can see why thered be spanish subtitling it, cus everybody and thier uncle speaks it, but WHY DO THE BLOODY CHINESE WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE ABOUT SOMEONE ELSES BLOODY HISTORY?????? that is my great complaint, now off my back, sounding like jeremy off of top gear in the meantime. (Shelsey, i think youre the only one who will get that.) this post is already looking ridiculously long winded- oh well. so, i watch it, and get right up to the part where they kill crockett (pretty sad by the way), and im only partway hearing it because of the war cries and mideval fights going on in the background courtesy my brothers game, but what do you know? as soon as we get to the part where that guy played by dennis quaid is gonna fight santa anna, it stops! the zarking (heres something only ally and savannah will get, if they even read this) imbecile didnt even post the rest! UGHGHGHGH, i am so mad! all i wanted to do was rub it in everyone else in my class when i knew the ending and they didnt and look what it got me- a boat load of headache and dissatisfaction. If i was stupid enough to think hed care, id write a very mean comment on that guys youtube page. But i bet you he was chinese and wouldnt be able to read it anyways.

Spring vacation

UGH. It is almost halfway through spring vacation and ive spent most of my time either on the computer or on the couch. And you may say this is a pretty cool setup, but its not, because there's only ever reruns on tv when i sit down to watch. Then, when my brother is NOT aggressively hoarding the computer, pushing me off the chair, or yelling at me to get off because its his turn, i cant even remember what i got on to do, and i am reduced to aimlessly blogging about it. Sound pathetic? yep. Sure does.

Alice in Wonderland

Ok... I get in the car... we drive across town... buy our tickets at the window... hurry inside to try and get a practically (nonexistent) seat... sit down... dim the lights...open up the candy you so didn't buy overpriced at the counter... and the movie starts!
Oh yeah. I love going to the movies, and sunday i went to see Alice in Wonderland!!!! Now, wait a minute, just let me tell you how it was. I would give it a B+ . Heres why i slam it:
1: some of the acting just wasnt up to par.

2: the plot line went (sort of) in weird directions. not that it was confusing or anything, it was just hard to understand at times why people were doing what they were doing.

3: the way alice ended up was so disappointing! she was suposed to stay in Wonderland, not leave and go on some wierd trek to china! oh well... sequel evident? i think not. *tear*

4:whenever i watch a movie, i always am on the look out for the... *cringe*... the LAME parts. these can either be wierd or just plain LAME. for me these ruin an otherwise good movie. I am sad to say that this movie had a few lame parts, sometimes because of bad acting and sometimes because the part just didn't seem believable.

Now heres why i cheer for it:

1: the special effects were so out of this world! most of the scenes in Wonderland were filmed totally on green screen, and almost all the chracters had somethins CGI about their look. (Except for Alice)

2: It was in 3d, which could have gone either way for me, but it turned out really cool in some of the parts.

3: It was just an enjoyable movie to watch! cool costumes, awesome sets, interesting chracters... yep. ill be buying this when it comes out.

all in all, i probably bored you with this extended movie review. (if youre even still reading this)
i know youre probably thinking, "If i wanted a full winded review, i woulda read one on line!" oh well. youve just got one from me!

American Idol

When my family first started watching american idol, it seemed like everyone watched it! now its like no one does. Am I the only one? On second thought, i wouldn't care much if i was, im that type of girl. Anyways, i just felt like saying that i watched it last night and it was my opinion that all of the boys performing SUCKED. I wish theyd have done the girls last night, but they switched because Crystal Bowersox (dreadlocks lady) was really ill. Oh well- girls, you had better do a lot better than the boys because otherwise, i wont vote for you!
