8 College applications = bane of my existence

Jeez, livejournal, it's been a long time.

Well, cats and kittens, seems I was right about Lost in Translation, great movie! It was exactly what I wanted it to be with a lot more comedy than I expected. Basically again, Bill Murray is getting paid $2 million dollars to endorse whisky in Japan for a week and has nothing to do in between. He doesn't want to go out and see Tokyo, he just wants ( Read more... )

Since my last lengthly journal was about tongue-in-cheek action movies, I figured I'd just "switch-it-up" a little. I really want to go see "Lost in Translation", the new Bill Murray movie about a middle-aged american actor doing a vodka commericial in Japan.

Yes yes, for all of you children just waiting for the next installment of my charming life as a carnie, it's probably not gonna happen. Sorry.

But over the past 6 years, I've met undeniably the most unique and interesting people that other social extravaganzas just can't provide. Faded ( Read more... )

Hmm, THE END. A strange way to begin an entry, but never the less, it's very appropriate. The end of a ham-dinger of a show and the end of the good old Woodstock Youth Theater. Hmm...I'm a bit tired now, final thoughts and whatever else shall be tomorrow.

Ah, yes, three months later. Well, things certainly have worked themselves out. I must be pretty lucky. My mom and dad are still together and doing much better. I guess it was all for the best. Although, I've got a big deduction in cats. It's alright, though, I saved a few and they weren't shot. I opted for the more humane way of lethal injection. ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but, I decided to because, frankly, I'm in the most shocking crisis of my life ( Read more... )

Once in a blue moon it was forced upon me that at the central core of geekdom lied "The Transformers the Movie: The Orginal Motion Picture Soundtrack". Nowadays, I'm not so sure anymore. I mean there are plently of worse things, like a giraffe with the head of Larry Hagman or spam. My words of wisdom to everyone reading (all 2 of you) are: Don't ( Read more... )
