Enchanted
Enchanted was really good! Like super good! Me and (e:jill) went the other night and I loved it! I think she liked it a lot too! Like it was kinda just like one of those old disney cartoons but like newish and fresh! The girl playing the princess was relaly good and the little girl was so cute! Everyone was really good in it! I can't get the songs out of my head and just keep watching scenes from it online. Yes, yes maybe I am really a 12 year old girl. You know why I am writing this right now:? Because I should be studying for my lab final tomorow!

I especially loved the part where she is singing "how does she know" in central park and eveyrone joined in. So classic disney and so great!

Here is the trailer for anyone who doesn't know what movie i am talking about.

(e:mk) and I took our cousins to see it and we had to convince them to see that instead of Bee Movie. It was so funny, I loved it, I felt like 9 again, haha. I would totally see it again if someone asked me to.
metalpeter - 12/03/07 17:12
Hopefully I will go see it this weekend and like it as much as everyone else had.

I am SO getting this on DVD the day it comes out
tinypliny - 12/03/07 01:47
Now I have two big thumb-uppers - one from you (and I think our tastes in movies match a **lot**). I just HAVE to see this and get enchanted now! :)

Oh the Things You'll Find
Oh the things I will decide NEED to be done right now when it is less than 24 hours before an exam in a class I know virtually nothing about and am doing poorly in and need to do well in to have any kind of future:

so far today....

1. cleaned up my shelf where I place things until I get to something I am really avoiding (like studying today) and then go through all the papers and recycle and file as necessary

2. count all the dimes in my globe bank (it is up to like over 700)

3. refold and organize all the clothes that are in my room not in drawers

4. re-read all my random cards I have bought over time to send to people to decide which ones to start sending out...IN FEBRUARY

5. plan on going to see Enchanted possible with (e:jill) after class

6. taking a snack brake every 10-15 minutes...thank god for girl scout cookies and asiago cheese (no not together , well ere and there i suppose they mix in my mouth)

7. go to the post office and wait in a somewhat long line in order to ask about what to fill out to send things internationally. I'm sure it could have been quicker online but it just seemed like I needed to go there and talk to someone.

8. go over all my bank statements and balance my check book

9. organize the christmas gifts I have bought thus far

10. the USA Today Crossword Puzzle followed by the other puzzles in USA today followed by reading USA Today

11. reading (e:strip)

12. Watching Days of our LIves in the first time in what seems like forever

and of course...

13. writing this journal about procrastinating. OK well back to the grind of studying well......maybe a quick check of facebook/gmail/myspace/soap opera digest website ....but then back to studying

Good luck on the exam, duuuude!

Spice Up Your Life
Sometimes I forget how much I love the Spice Girls and all it takes to remind me of the greatness is one little magical phrase "spice up your life". Hearing them always puts me in a better mood, they were musical geniuses!

Look at those gals, truly amazing in all their tacky glory!
metalpeter - 11/30/07 16:53
I can't remember if it was Scary Spice or Sporty Spice I used to like or maybe it was all of them. Does anyone think that the Fanta Girls are Better or worse then the spice girls? Oh yeah they are hot to.
tinypliny - 11/28/07 21:20
Have to admit, they were catchy and totally Christmassy, actually. And that's why I like listening to them but not as much as real Christmas songs. Nopes, nothing comes as close to swinging the spirit toward the North Star than Christmas songs!!
james - 11/27/07 23:36
I love playing 'count the camel-toe' with this picture.

August Rush
So me and (e:jill) and (e:diana) went to see August Rush last night. Like I kinda wanted to see it but we had no paper and so just went to the theater and that was the only movie playing at the right time for when we were there that we all kinda wanted to see. Anywho the people next to us in line warned us not to see it but we did anyway. Ok so the beginning was really quite boring but then it got like pretty good , though at times the whole like music is in every sound we hear got super plyaed out and repetivie but there were some really good parts but like anwya any movie like this which if you don't know is about a kid whose mom was forced to give him up kinda and he thinks he will find his paretns through music and so he escapes the orgphange and etc. His parents also only met for one night and then were separated and are tyring to find each other. Anywho, the whole point in movies like tihs is for the big finalle payoff where the lovers find each other and kiss and are reunited and then tey see their kid right? THIS WAS THE BIGGEST LET DOWN EVER! LIke i was all set to be emotionally moved and we were all ready for the tears to start flowing but then it just kinda ends. LIke it is a happy ending of course and the stuff happens but in such an unexciting , unemotional stupid way> It actually left me angry! Like Really angry! Like we all were. Like they just forgot the end of the movie or something! It was ridiculous angry makingful!

But one scene that made it all worth it was withthe kid and jonathan rhy meyers who is the dad and they play guitar together , it was prolly the cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life, and i have seen some cute things in my life.
tinypliny - 11/28/07 21:24
I will consider myself warned. I was thinking that I might like that movie - from that chorus gospel like song in the trailers. But now that I know that its a lukewarm ending my enthusiasm has taken a turn for the worse. Maybe I will be angry too seeing as we seem to share a taste in movies...

BTW, please say hi to (e:jill) for me and give her a huge smile - again on my behalf. I have to thank her for the super sour liquid apple drowsiness fighting candy idea. It will save my academic life someday. Its already working!!
