Halloween Spin

Hey, I just read that Rob Zombie is working with Dimension films on a remake of "Halloween". This outa be good. I can't wait to see what happens when Michael Meyers meets House of 1000 corpses.

Cult Classic??

O.k. Cavutto, I see your Astronomy 'picture of the day'. And I raise you a 'question of the day'.
Because I have so many questions and am too lazy to seek out answers, I would rather ask everyone here in hopes of just getting an answer.

movies... What makes a "Cult Classic" a cult classic? I began to wonder because I am watching Twilight Zone the movie, which made me think of Creepshow. Would either be considered a Cult Classic??

The Omen

Okay. I went and saw The Omen tonight. And might I add...still alive to tell the tale. haha. Well, my first thought as soon as I arrive is that I have made a grave mistake coming to see the show on it's opening day. The theatre is packed, with what looks to be mostly teen age kids. Whatever, moving forward. I am all by myself and can choose any seat in the house. I choose the seats directly behind the bars/railing toward the front. This way I can put my feet up if need be. I have my popcorn, I am one of the first seated and all is good. I notice my comfy island of a seat selection begin to crowd. A gentleman comes to me and asks if I will be using the remaing seats next to me. Sadly and hesitatntly, as if I knew I should have just lied I respond No. He dedcides he is going to save these seats for whothefuckever. Well, these people show up with kids. Multiple kids, ranging between the ages of 5 and 8 if I had to guess. WTF?? As if that was not annoyance enough (not to mention shitty parenting) these people are loud. Just the way they chomped their popcorn was pushing me to postal. Hear me out, they had what sounded like a MEGA bag of Rees's Pieces. They were passing it between each other and "literally" pouring it into their mouths. Obviously they lacked a bit in theatre manners, how else would I have smelled the peanut butter. The children talked loudly asking many questions(as children do). Not the end....not by far.

So, we have established that I now have loud annoying strangers on either side of me. We are nearing the end of the movie and I am really engrossed. I hear a noise of what sounds like somebody dropping a big gulp onto the floor. This gets the attention of most people in the theatre. I turn around, o.k., whatever..back to the show. Then you hear some guy ask for help. Turn around again, this time I see a girl, who from where I was sitting looked to me to be passed out. The guy sitting next to her, who asked for help tilts her hed back on her seat. She appears for a moment to be coherant. The guy asks her if she is okay again as her head falls back against her seat. He says aloud, "no, she's not o.k." Next thing an usher and a bunch of guys carry her out in to the lobby where I can only assume an ambulance came to take her away.
The world may never know.

How the movie you ask; good. I guess I can't say great because despite the movie I had a terrible movie-going experience. It was predictable in a slow and 'when's it gonna come' type way. Not much shock, too much gore for this type of film. The gore just seemed over and above. I will see it again and this time perhapps I will get a better feel for the movie.

6-6-06

I am going to see The Omen tomorrow. I love horror movies or in this laid back sense I should perhapps say suspense. Whatever. I like remakes. It is being released on a tuesday because the date is traditionally satanic. Good call on their part I suppose. Hey, maybe I should add some extra superstition to my day and stand in front of the mirror and repeat "bloody mary". I plan on going during the day while my kids are at school. I'll letcha know how it goes.

Update

So, did I ever tell you about how I agree with the individual that says alcohol is a truth syrum. Well, I agree. As you know, my monitor is in a bad way right now. I was all pissed and frustrated etc. Fast forward. This evening after my boyfriend gets home from work we relax and its friday, we have some drinks. After he is nice and buzzed I mention how sad I am about my monitor. He assures me it's most likely easily fixed with tin foil. hahahahhahahah. huh?? Might as well be duct tape. However, he follows this jackass comment up with admitting that he broke it, knew he broke it and felt really bad. Evidently he was just in a hurry. Ofcourse. Well, that settles that aye.

tin foil...lol...lol..yeah, there goes the rest of my system!

monitor blues

Computer conclusion. There is a prong pushed back in to its hole. if that makes any sense. I'v used tweezers to try and pull it out. No luck yet. I don't think it is going to work again. I'm sad, I loved that cute monitor. Guess I have to convince myself that it's just time to buy a new one. *Sigh*

Uggghhhh WTF!

Fuck. I am frustrated beyond frustrated. I am just pissed rightoff. I leave for school yesterday after being on the comp. all day. Everything is fine. I return home late last night, straight to bed. Wake up and notice my boyfriend had hooked up his old comp. to my monitor. (my beautiful flat screen monitor that I love!) ....I notice the color looks off, I ask him if he noticed anything; course not. I hook my comp. back up and the screen is fucked. I have tried everything. The manual button, the auto adjust button, notta. I did notice there is no red and the background which should be white is a pale aqua. I hate when shit like this goes wrong. I'm thinking WTF dude? What'd you do??? You know when your angry and it just helps to lay some blame? I just wish I had been the last to use it, it might seem more settling that way. Now it will piss me off all day until he get's home to fuck with it somemore. In the mean time I have to use his comp.

Judaism.

My Memorial Day weekend started out with a new experience. Really hot. Smmmokin hot infact. What’s worse, the idiots who lived in this house before us took all the screens with them when they moved. (We rent) But that’s not the interesting part. On Friday I visited a synagogue to sit in on a Sabbath service. I am taking a religion class right now and for my final paper I have to write about a visit to a religious service other than my own. In short, I am procrastinating big-time. I should be writing that damn paper but I have zero motivation. The best thing that has come from this class is that I actually understood what they were referring to in the Davinci Code. That was cool. Without this class I would have been lost as to what was going on in that movie.

Summer Travel Tips

Lately I have been so bored. WTF. Summer is here, basically, for me anyway. As soon it stops snowing I am happy as pigs in shit. My kids have 9 days of school left. That in itself has always marked the beginning of summer. Not to mention Memorial day. Oh yeah, and my birthday in June. That is definitely in the summer. (to me. but not for picky ass holes who like to point out the first official day of summer is not until after my birthday, and that technically I have a spring birthday. Not summer) Fuck you I say. The ice cream is melting on the plate aint it? It's summer!

My highlights of my summer plans: I am torn between going to Florida or California. I have never been to Cali, my friends parents live there so we have a place to stay. If I go to Fl .it's a Hotel. DISCLAIMER:::: I am taking my kids with me and if I travel w/ my friend she will have hers as well. 3 alltogether. so, it's not a spring break kinda vaca. This being the first official vacation I am taking my kids on and I am just not sure if we should go alone or with others. Anyone have any personal experiences or thoughts on this for me???? I would greatly appreciate it.


and it's only wednesday

How you know your boyfriend is drunk: he says- "I'm gettin my pimp mode on baby". While Van Halen plays in the background. Priceless

not so much

Myspace. Alright I admit it. I am behind on the times when it comes to blogging. When I first jumped on the blog highway myspace was the first site I stopped at. Honestly, I was so overwhelmed. I left immediately. I stumbled upon blogs4me and here I have been ever since. What I did not know was that you can actually find people there just by searching their names. (their real names).I said I was behind.! I got this whole bit of info from a friend of a mutual friend. I lost her number as obviously he did as well, but he did mention that she had msg'd him on myspace. How cool! How simple. Where the hell have I been. Anyway, I jumped on and got to searching. I open an account that night. The very next morning I am hit with spam. I did feel special for a hot minute, but when I realized they were solicitors I felt used and dirty. This is what I don't get, if there is no specific place to post my blog, how are people supposed to stumble upon it. At one point it seemed like I was supposed to give up my friends email's so they could get myspace spammed as well. My first blog consisted of me highly recommending and name dropping B4M. Guesss I havn't been missing out on much. I feel so at home here. Thanks Timbo!

Birthday Ideas

I posted a few days ago that my friend (best friend) is celebrating her 30th b-day this weekend. I wanted to do something special but inexpensive.

Any ideas??? I am totally at a loss. Please help.

to whom it may concern

I'm sorry to hear about this site. Heres where you can reach me if anyone cares to stay in touch or just catch up. http://javas-memoirs.blogspot.com/

It's expected of you cause you are a friend

Guess whos birthday is coming up....ya give? It's mine! I will be lucky number 30. I wanted to post my invite but it is too hard to modify it to fit. Anyhow...we are gonna have our own pub crawl in downtown Ferndale (all the bars are in walking distance). It's on June 10th. My actual birthday is on the 17th but I will be up in Sagnasty celebrating that night. I realy wanted to do something special since it's not your average 20 something birthday.

This weekend is my friend Jammie's birthday. She is turning the big 30 as well. I wanted to do something big for b-day too. I asked her what she would like to do and she mentioned that she likes the outdoor patios to sit and drink at. There is a nice clubby one nextdoor to me. I told her to call and ask her friends if they would come to celebrate it with her (Driving to this bar would be approx. 30 min.) Evidently most of whom she talked to did not want to make the drive. So in the end she decided she would rather hang out at her regular spots where she knows everyone will be.
O.k, ever since I moved to Detroit we obviously have not been able to hang out all the time. In this respect we both have new groups of friends. Mine are all down South and her's are all up North. I do not know any of the people she hangs out with well enough to have their numbers and call them to make plans. But WTF? I feel like they are lame-ass pussies. I mean you can't drive 30 min? You party at these bars every week like clock work. You cant make an exception for one night. Even for a few hours? Am I over reacting? Cause if these were my friends, I would tell them all to @$%6 off.
I have attended numerous bachelorette, and 21st birthday parties.The least any decent friend would do is return the favor, right?

It seems to me that if it was a special occasion people would make an exception. I mean it's your day, what do you want to do? I mean c'mon, I almost rented a limo for my celebration. I was even thinking stripper, Canada, the works! I had to remind myself that it's only my birthday, not a bachelorette party!

highly anticipated events

Why do I feel like a loser posting tonite? Oh, yeah, now I remember...I have nothing else to do. I can't be too hard on myself, there is a reason why. I have been in the house all day recouping from my hangover. Every now and again you have those special nights where you celebrate above and beyond. This usually occurs when it's an event that I have been looking forward to for a long time. I can usually anticipate when these evenings will occur. I get a "party like its 1999" type of mind set going on. *Nights like this will either become awesome stories or horrific nightmares.*  This particualr one was to celebrate my friend Katie's birthday and see her pieces she had displayed in her art show. This was her first time having them on display and for sale. (way under priced though) She sold them all!! Fucking awesome! So we had to celebrate.     

You know you are in trouble when you start finishing other peoples shots! Reflecting back on the nights events I begin to notice a pattern. Near the end of the night I go in to a different mode entirely. I call it "auto pilot". I am completely normal, coherant and carry conversations about god knows what. Its like I just sit back and watch. The best part of the evening is the witching hour (when they stop selling alcohol; 2:00) the following behavior comes over me...I will order too many drinks at once, buy everyone shots and lastly hord drinks in my purse. You'd think Michigan was going to be a dry state by morning!

All in all I had a really great time. Tune in next week for part two of "highly anticipated events" starring Jammie's 30th birtday.

What ever happened to...Javaluvsme

What the hell have I been up to? Good question. Not a whole lot. I am still missing everyone down in Detroit. I am currently still unemployed. Not having to go to work or do pretty much anything else for that matter is cool. However, like all things the novelty eventually wears off. I must admit though, when I first got here I was sorta half-assin it on the job hunt. But now the money has run out and I hate to say it but....I am bored. There I said it. I want to visit long lost friends and take vacations which are both unobtainable in my current income bracket. The best part of the whole thing is that I set my sights too high. I am the person that holds on to the idea that the perfect job or better yet career will some how find me. I can't seem to grasp the reality that I was at my last crap job for 3 years. In 3 years time I functioned completely on auto pilot. I am not gonna just walk in to that same situation.

Oh yeah....I had my first group interview. Didn't care too much for it. It was odd knowing who I was in competition with for the job. And if the face to face situation wasn't enough all the interview questions were asked aloud to the whole group, so you just blurted out answers, over anaylized everyone elses response and tried to "1 up" them.  Long story long...I 'm still unemployeed. I suck

Here's what's new...

Happy St. Patty's!  I had a great time. I spent it with my friend Jammie who I have not hung out with for a while. I was unsure whether I wanted to go up to sag-nasty and hang out with her, or if I wanted to go back down to the dirty D and see everyone else. I chose the half hour drive over the hour drive. I saw a lot of people that I used to work with....restaurant workers, of course...we love to party. Thats always cool to see old friends and find out what everyone has been up to. I did not drink o' the green or smoke o' the green but it was a fun time just the same.
My two best friends are next to celebrate birthdays. Katie in April and Jammie in May. Following will be mine in June. I will be the big 30!!! I am having a hard time dealing with this. Infact I have been having a hard time since I turned 29, just because I knew 30 was only a year away. It really sucks that you guys don't know me because as long as I can remember I have wanted a surprise birthday party. I don't think any of my friends really know this and if they do, I doubt they'll remember. It would take all the fun out of it if I had to ask for my own surprise party. I could have hinted but it would seem like I was cheating! ( I think this may be hinting, but only if they read it)

I just noticed

The last like 6 entries have been by teenagers. The best part is that I can always tell before I even see the age. ....By the blinding bright backgrounds they choose and the cool contrasting neon letters that accentuate my screen glare.

Atleast its possitive becasue it always makes me smile. and swear.

Just a little something to lighten the mood.

catching up

Seems like I have been away forever. I moved and am still unpacking. I have yet to get my computer up and running. Odd as it may seem I really don't like to use other computers except my own. It's strange, it's like I feel safer on my own. However, I have not been on here in a while and wanted to drop in and say "hi", so I broke down and jumped on his computer. We still have to get some sort of wireless thing so I can get on the web from my comp. Still no word yet on the missing niece, I assume this means she is not coming back.

On a lighter note, I have had a busy month. I had a going away party on the 13th, I moved on the 15th, had a bachelorette party on the 18th and another going away party on the 25th. I have a wedding this weekend and shorty after we roll right in to St. Patty's day. Hell yeah! Any excuse to party.

WTF?

What a shitty way to follow up my previous blog. Well, my boyfriend told me his niece had run away from home after a disagreement with her mom. (she's about 15 ) police called to get dental records. doesn't sound too good. I'll let you know.
