If no one wants to listen to me ramble about movies that probably wont make sense, then don't read this. I mean it, I'm not being cute.

There's not a whole lot I enjoy more than watching movies and analyzing them.

Leviathan
From my birth year so lets see how it stacks up.  Hopefully, it does some justice. (I got a hangnail and it hurts pretty horribly).  Oo it's all futuristic like we can actually have people sitting at the bottom of the ocean just because they have bitchin' suits.  Day 87 of 90...it's always the 11th hour.  at that depth they would have much smaller viewing holes on their masks or they'd all get.  OO is he gonna die?  stuffs fucking all up...ooo his heads gonna blow!  aw...survival of the lamest.  He is gonna have some serious brain trauma though with that kind of air loss.  Hey that's the guy from home alone and he is still a dick.  I love sci-fi. I think the doctor has gone crazy.  Cabin fever or some shit.  They are miles down and he is talking about being on the golf course. what?  I hope the monster is a squid or something better like a mega-jelly.  I hoe they don't slack.  That'll bite them in the ass.  Haha oh damn he's using gum to fix shit.  That's bad.
oh here it comes...fell off the south ridge.  now those are some big fake tube worms.  I bet they are gonna lose her. or both of them.  at least one of them.  There's the soviet ship.  There is no way there would be any sunlight down there.  ah leviathan is the name of the ship.  Since she found it first they are gonna lose her.  no doubt about it (she actually survives-post movie Mav).  oh wow what an ole computer system haha. why would he just go wondering off like a dumbass?  That would be so cool to find a sunken ship.  I like how the doctor is all into it now.  He's had his mind tweeked.  I would love to be there with that doctor trying to figure shit out.  It's sad to me that a geologist would find no interest in figuring out where this ship came from....oo i bet they are gonna fuck....oh yea there is the cheesy sweet love music. (i'm such a damn clutts...I just spilled root beer all over myself)  genetic alteration.  OOOO ZOMBIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA!!  ew fish mutant zombies. well its so bad that i can't stop watching.  It has a dead space feel to it and with the mutated people and stuff...but this thing is much slower than the fast little bitches on dead space.   oh thats somewhat ingenious.  lets all float to the top.  oh he sacrificed himself.  it's like a weird fish guy.. aw its so stupid it got its head chopped off.  the irony of having a fish as a pet at the bottom of the ocean....oh there isnt a hurricane at all.. congratulations you made it to the surface but now you are in the middle of the damn ocean.  I hope it gets them from below OR that the helicopter people just kill them....   hahahaha it came to the surface and got them.  ooo its trying to drown him.  Well that was hilariously cheesy and gross.  I think it's funny when movies from the eighties are being "futuristic" and its set in 2001 or 2006 and its completely unlike anything that we have.  It's like something that would be decades if not hundreds of years in the future.

The Thing
This one promises a better movie being that it is newer.  Oh haha, this is actually from 1982! so we will just see.  I hope its as classically cheesy as it should be.  The 80s were great for sci fi.  It was like the hot fad.
What am I gonna make for dinner?
wolves are beautiful creatures.
Man, what a young Kurt Russell.  handsome. I want a pretty husky dog.  I will have one too.  one day.  and there is a stereotypical black guy.  There is something to do with this dog that causes some sort of chaos.  And such a cute puppy too. maybe the dog turns into a dude at night. or maybe its a genetically mutated dog that is smart.  like Ein on Cowboy Bebop.  It's amazing how the film quality improved over 10 years from the 70's to the eighties.  It's almost like today when things aren't in (what's it called....) CG.  I bet the dog was found in the ice.  hm  interesting.  They are gonna get back and find all their buddies gone mad.  NO they brought the weird "thing" back to the shop with them and it had been burned.  I feel like its gonna be almost just like the movie I just watched but a little more cabin fever-y.  The body thing doesnt even look real.  Man, Kurt Russell is dreamy.  His eyes are wild and he's got this shaggy hair in this movie.  Mm, hunky! And he is kind of stoic in this movie and that gets me every time. YEA! Light that blunt!  That's where it's at. That's the job I need.  Aw I wouldn't want to let it just sit out with the other dogs.  It knows.  It's not a stupid dog.  It gets it and it's worried.  oh what the fuck!  the dog is the thing.  I knew it!!  I wish all the other puppies didnt have to die because of it.  Damn it man! walk faster!!!! NO! don't go in.
oh good.
I can't imagine how fucked up that would be if you were stoned.  To find a mutated spider dog thing.  Sickening.  I'd probably puke.  Oh he got the dog loving dude.  It already transmuted into him.  They gotta kill him.  It copies their genetic makeup perfectly.  No one can be trusted.  It can infiltrate our world without us knowing unless we catch it happening.  Like with all those dogs making noise.  Oh it's a space ship.  Nifty.  Now that's sci fi folks!  All in all this is already a much better movie than leviathan which was more so just disappointing and anti-climactic.  Ok scientists there is a fine line between research and common sense (I don't know if those actually go together).  They SHOULD just burn it!
That's really fake looking blood and a really hide looking character. Thats a creepy alien man.  Props to the people who did this movie.  What a disgusting life form.  To have to go through that process.  uck.  THat can't be pleasant at all......y'all missed one!
Haha just took an hour break to talk to my bestie :)
OO it's good because everyone trusts MacCready but he may be the one who is actually the thing.  This movie is actually very good and I think I'm going to give it my Movie of the Week!  There is no telling who is the thing.  Maybe it's all of them, but they don't know that they all are.  I think people don't even know if they are or not.  So they are trying to escape earth. Oh damn, that's fucked up.
Why does everyone go places alone? Hm, it's trying so hard but it just can't quite get it.
And then there was one.

What's next?  I'd let you vote, but it's a blog, not a radio show.

I'm going for The Andromeda Strain
Fresh from 1971. Win.  Diggin older sci fi movies.  Those are the fucking best!
This is so weird.  They aren't showing anything.  Based on all the ufo scares from then.  I bet this would have been super intense in its day.  (The washer is making really strange noise.  I heard a loud bang and a sudden clang.  It's creepy).  Man typewriters are trippy.  They are freaking out on speed or some shit.  Oh the 70s haha.  What a fancy house for it.  "I'll be safe as in your arms."  Good line, very good.  OO creepy big brother shit.  This is why everyone was all superstitious and conspiracy theorists.  The government just tapping into our phones and shit.
aw i had to put a bandaid on my pinky cause of that hang nail and now its weird to type.  OH! titties! haha
this movie is so awesomely old school

So I'm tired.  I'm going to play some LPB with my brothers.

Goodnight

I love my coffee mug.  I got it for work.  It’s red and blue (Hotty Toddy) buts it’s got a small orange stripe and green stripe in the middle.  There is another small green stripe at the top.  It holds my coffee.  It was one dollar at the dollar tree.  Win.

I got a little solar monkey that dances in the sun.  He dances a little in my desk light but in the afternoon when the sun hits him (which it won’t today because it’s so gloomy and rainy) he starts to dance; which is perfect because it’s like he is getting excited about the end of the workday.  He’s so cute.  He’s holding a banana in one hand and making a peace sign with the other.

I don’t know why I thought that once you got out of school there stopped being fire alarms.  It’s raining here and I just had to walk down six floors and stand in it for ten minutes.  Which compared to previous fire alarm experience isn’t too bad.  Once when I was a freshman in college I had to stand outside in a towel for 45 minutes because it was just after track practice and I was getting into the shower when the alarm went off.  Another time, I had to cross behind out building and stand in the car garage because it was pouring rain at 2:30 in the morning.  That time it took about an hour.  I was a freshman at Samford and they were very slow with their fire department and alarms.  It was annoying, but I transferred after that year so whatever.  But I guess I just, for some reason, thought it was a school thing.  A way for our superintendent to torture us or the foolish act of some drunken frat boy with his idiot fratastic friends egging him on. 

I want to do some more sociology and psychology classes.  I find people fascinating.  They are so weird and different.  I can’t wait to teach.  I’m gonna take them outside and I think it can be fun and I can make learning interesting.  Note time!

I work with this girl or she is on my floor and we share a break room and she will just talk to me which is whatever.  The problem is she mumbles horribly and then kind of trails off and turns and walks away chuckling uncomfortably and I have no idea what she said.  She never waits for a response so I just don’t say much of anything.  But if I did say something it was just be, “yeah, ha…” and it would be awkward because she is awkward.

Work is so lame.  There is nothing for me to do.

I started volunteering at the animal shelter this weekend.  It was pretty great.  I was mainly just getting back into the swing of everything.  It’s pretty chill right now though not being baby bird season.  Saturday was good I did kind of a normal, usual thing:  fed some birds, cleaned some pins.  But Sunday I got to feed the hawks and owls and I got to do the ducks and geese by myself which was fun.  The ducks will let you pet them and they get really close and peck at the shiny buttons on my pants.  The goose (Canadian) was a little twat jerk when I did him on Saturday with Daphne.  When I did him by myself on Sunday though I just sprayed him with the water hose and he quit honking and wouldn’t come at me.  I think he calmed down tremendously and I was able to clean his pin, feed and water him all by myself using the hose and a towel over my arm as a buffer.  Mainly I washed lots of dishes though.  It will be better in the summer, as in I’ll have more to do and with the new volunteers I won’t have to do all the nasty crap like laundry and dishes (WIN).  Sunday I went to refill the bird feeders and I slipped on a wet tree root and totally busted my ass.  I scraped my arm all up and spilled mealworms and bird seed all over me and down my shirt.  It was embarrassing but luckily no one was out there to see it happen.  I have so many bumps and bruises.  First the scrapes from falling on the root and then (working backwards) I was at the apt with my darling boyfriend and we were going to grill some porkchops that I decided, spur of the moment, to get at the store.  So he is cleaning up the dishes and asks me to drag it outside.  It’s one of those cheap ones you pour the charcoal into.  It’s a bigger one though and my right foot trips on one of our computer cords and the grills runs up on my leg and it gets kind of wedged on my calf and I have to pick the whole damn thing up to get it off and the next morning I had a huge ass bruise.  It’s all black and blue.  Two days later and it’s still gnarly looking.  Then on Friday we were at my brothers house playing LBP (carting and 2) (LOVE LBP!) and we were trying to get these bubbles in this one level and you have to grapple and swing on these moving things.  It’s a fucking nightmare and I am doing really good at the swinging and I get one really amazing swing in and I ALMOST get the very top bubble (the only one left, I had swung my boyfriend out to get two others, anyway) and I didn’t get it so I was like MAN and I kind of put my fist down on the arm of the couch in an, “Oh shoot,” sort of way and I didn’t realize that the arm of the cough was like solid wood and I caught my wrist right in the crease and it hurt so bad.  It didn’t bruise as much at first, but now it’s turning a sickly yellow color.  It’s still super sore.  I also spilled coffee all down the front of me yesterday…way to go Mav. 

On a grislier note, my roommate is moving out.  Not my boyfriend, but the other guy who pisses me off because he does no cleaning at all and always brings his bitchy girlfriend over who won’t even look at us and when she is around he is meaner.  I want to just have the apt to ourselves, just me and my baby and Arda, but my boyfriend insists on getting a roommate.  Yes the cheaper rent will be nicer but I just do not want a roommate.  I don’t know how some other person is going to be.  What if they are all up in my business and didn’t let me have my me time?  I’d go ape and they’d end up leaving.  I can barely stand the one we got now.  I told my boyfriend we should have interviews.  He laughed but I was serious.

Seriously,

Mav

This is my title.

So movie of the week is for shizzle The Grey.  It's got Liam Neeson. You need to make sure you give it a chance.  It can be frustrating at times given the high mortality rate, but it has some very redeeming moments that really bring it full circle and make it worthwhile.  I love the wolf psychology that is uncovered and delved into.  Wolves are one of the most interesting, complicated and beautiful creatures I think.  It did raise a few questions however.  I want to write into mythbusters and get them to do the part where he puts a shotgun shell on the end of a sharpened stick and when you jab it into something it hurts and or kills the wolf.  Maybe they have already done it.  I don't have cable so I can't get all the new sodes (as in episodes, but of course I could have just said that instead of going this round about route).  Haha the epidsode I'm watching they are doing the helium balloons to a lawn chair flight thing.  And they all look like a bunch of testicles strung together.

I got some new crafty things!  Some new ink wells in purple and teal.  I look forward to using that.  I also finally got a cheap 12 pack of watercolor pencils.  I really like using colored pencils when I draw and I can't wait to try them.  Finally, I got a hook and latch thing that's a happy face and a rainbow.  I like those because they are really time consuming and they keep my mind busy.  I also got a little glass votive to make a candle holder.

I don't have a huge amount of stuff to say.  I think I may have gotten some sort of promotion at work but its not fully been discussed and I don't think it's like an unsaid just internal label thing.  My boss said that something about me being the senior Q or something or other.  And that the new girl is kind of usurping my role and I'm moving up in the world I suppose.  (I'm a little off put by my fat roommate sitting naked in his room right now.)

Aw I want some baby ducks! I love ducks. I'm volunteering at the Wildlife Center and I get to feed all the baby birds.  We have some ducks right now.  That's where this was going.  I look forward to this coming spring/summer when all the baby birds really start coming in full force.  It will be so wonderful!
