" He is really good at staying alive, and trying to kill him and failing... just pisses him off."
So, since I haven't done a real update since before Christmas this is gonna be long. Just a warning. First things first, Christmas was awesome. I was super excited about it this year and while no one else seemed to be I kept the Christmas spirit. Also, lots of presents. Which is always a good thing. I got a lot of DVD's and gift cards. Who could ask for more? And the Christmas party was...interesting. DDR is hard and Wii Boxing is evil. That's really all I've got to say. So, on to the DVD's. Lots of seasons on DVD (Criminal Minds, Stargate SG1 and Atlantis, Bones, Psych) and I've watched them all already. The other movies were great and I'm going to review them later. After I discuss everything else first.
Um, New Years was fun too. Lots of food and Ping Pong (my dad bought one for Christmas), plus DDR and Wii means that Courtney was beyond tired the next day. And since then I've not really done much of anything. I haven't started school cause ASU sucks and didn't process my stuff on time. I am starting with the Summer session though. In the mean time I'm looking for a job and subbing at my old high school in the meantime. And that right there is Karma in action. I wanna be a teacher why? If you know, please remind me.
So, other random stuff. I'm letting my hair grow out...and isn't that going to be super fun? My sister is moving out and I'm expanding into her room. My desk, books, tv and movies will be moved and I'll finally have room to breathe again. YAY. Yeah, I guess that's it. My life is so boring. Now onto the reviews.
Movies
Ocean's 13 - Hilarious! I've watched it about 3 times and it's still funny. The perfect ending to the franchise. And Matt Damon was so good.
The Bourne Ultimatum - So. Freakin'. Good. It started off fast and kept up the pace. Plus Matt Damon again was so good...and so hot. So 4.5 stars for this movie (would've been more but Jason (Damon) and Nicky (Stiles) never kissed.
Robin Hood - So cute. And yeah, I'm talking about the movie with the foxes and the singing and Disney written all over it. Hehe, I've always loved this movie.
Books
So, I'm on book 5 out of 6 of the Noble Dead series by Barb and J.C. Hendee and it's so good! I forgot how good it was until I re-read them and the last book came out. It's like Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Lord of the Rings meets The Grimm Fairytales.
And I read the Twilight series (including Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse ) and it was good. Very good. I'm kind of obsessed with it really and I'm loving the fandom. I have issues with it of course but I'm hoping they'll be resolved in Breaking Dawn the next book in the series.
Music
I am totally in love with Sara Bareilles's music. It's wonderful. I'm recommending that everyone get a copy of her CD Little Voice.
Fanfic Update
So, I've finally gotten over my writer's block on my Tin Man fic There's No Place Like Home. I'm working on the last two chapters and the epilogue now so hopefully they'll be up soon. *crosses fingers*
And I've started work on that Supernatural fic that's been bugging me for over a year. I finally got it all plotted out. It's a one-shot but a fairly long one-shot and I just couldn't get it to work right. Maybe this time it will turn out.
I'm also plotting out a multi-chaptered Psych fic. It's going to be about 8 or 9 chapters long (maybe!) and I've already gotten the main plot outlined and now I'm just working on how to get it all together. It's a more serious fic but I just can't get the bunny off my back.
And I have an idea for a Twilight fic but I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. I'm an Edward/Bella shipper but this fic wants to have some Jacob/Bella implications and I just can't get it written out to where it sounds right to me. Oh well, I'll work on it and maybe I can solve the problem
So, those are my thoughts for right now and I'm sure you have been super entertained < /sarcasm >. Have a great day! Later!
Edit: So I know a lot of people cross their fingers when they know they're going to go back on a promise but I cross my fingers when I'm hoping for something. You know, just in case you were wondering.
