The Devil Wears...

My roomates and I just got back from seeing The Devil Wears Prada. It was sort of disastrous, with Mich not getting off of work until 25 minutes after the movie had started. As a result, we had to sit in the front row. My neck hurts from tilting it while watching blobbie thingies talk about Oscar De la Renta and Gucci. I seriously felt like I listened to the whole movie instead of watching it. Oh well, it was cute. I just finished the book a few days ago, and the movie wrapped itself up much nicer than the book did. I guess that's Hollywood for you!

This weekend was D Money's birthday... I had so much fun! I couldn't believe how awesome bar hopping was... we went to quite a few places. It was a really good time.

I'm pretty tired from being too ridiculous this weekend so I'm going to make this a short post. I'll post something longer tomorrow!

Do You Have the 'Scoop'?

'ello darlings.

So I was watching movie trailers, which is something I do often, and I realized that doing so always makes me mad. Why? Because I watch them and get all excited and then realize that they don't come out for weeks upon weeks, or months upon months... which, as it turns out, is very distressing. Anyways, I was watching the tailer for the new Woody Allen/Scarlett Johanssen/ Hugh Jackman movie and I have to say, it looks interesting. I'm not what you might call a "Woody Allen Film Buff", persay, but my interest in his movies was piqued by Match Point. I'll have to say, he knows what he's doing. Scarlett Johannsen, however, leaves something to be desired. I know that she's unconventionally beautiful and has great boobs, but her intonation and expression kind of irks me. She can carry a movie, sure, but can a movie carry her?
Scoop's plot is kind of odd. It's about a young college student who happens upon a ghost (I know) who says he has the "scoop of the century" for her: he knows the identity of a serial killer and wants her to figure out how to catch the guy. She ends up falling in love with the guy who she presumes to be the killer, blah blah blah... watch the trailer. It'll do a better job.




This is a trailer for the new (and by new I mean "Fall freaking '06") Zach Braff movie. I love him, I don't care what anyone thinks. He has the most impeccable comedic timing... "Scrubs" is a thing of beauty sometimes. It never fails to make me belly laugh... well, most things make me laugh like that. But ya know. Yeah. My male readers may not be sold on this movie but I sure am.




Well, I'm going to leave this as a relatively short post, because I haven't gone grocery shopping in weeks and I don't have any food, which has left me light headed and unable to write. Diet V8 Splash for lunch?! I think so!!!

Listening to Say Anything - "Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too"

Oh, and I'm really serious about downloading that "Backyard Betty" song by Spank Rock. It's got the most ridiculous beat... I love it.

MY EYES! MYYYY EYES!

Ok, ok, so it's not that bad. I just got back from a trip to the eye doctor because my contacts had gotten so bad that I couldn't really see far away anymore. I forgot they were going to dilate my eyes and now I can't see. I felt like an idiot walking into the gas station with my sunglasses on, like I was a movie star or something... Now I can't really see close up, so if there are any typos, I'm sorry, for I simply cannot see.

I'm currently sitting on hold with Cingular, trying to get a new Razr. Mine makes this annoying clicking noise in the earpiece (similar to when your phone is by your speakers and it makes that na-na-na-na-naaaaaaa noise) and I want to get a new one before the warranty is up. I think they make the hold music this annoying on purpose... it's the same loop of some easy listening guitar music over... and over.... and over... AND OVERRR! Oh! They picked up... and put me on hold again. Now it's piano music, much more soothing. Shit, now I have to call my dad and get his social and then call them back. Argh. This is ridiculous.

Anyhoo... I watched the trailer for "A Scanner Darkly" the other day and it looks so good! I can't wait for it to come out. I remember seeing a trailer for it forever ago.



If ya wanna check it out... It's pretty sick.

I was going to post the video of me dancing at the Sundance but it is FAR too embarassing, so it's not happening. Sorry kids. Well ... I have to work tonight for just a few hours and then apparently it's trivia at Pott's. Hmm. This whole not spending money thing is not working out.

Country Music Makes Me Want to Dance!

So we went to Sundance (again) Tuesday night. What I didn't realize before (because I was already drunk before I got there) was that beers are 25 cents and double mixed drinks are 50 cents. Like... are you keeeding me?! It was awesome. I had about 3 beers and went to get a mixed drink, and when I came back with my drink everyone informed me that the specials were about to end and that I should get more beer, for good measure. Ed and I went and got more, him holding three, and me holding two, all for ourselves. Needless to say, I line danced. And when I say that I line danced, I mean I watched other people more sober than myself and mimicked their moves about a second behind, so that I was always facing the wrong direction. It was embarassing. However, it didn't seem to stop me...

Bleah!

I'm getting really, really fed up with everything I'm doing lately. I'm working; but I'm not all too sure I like my job. I'm in class; but I KNOW I hate it. I've been going out a lot lately, but it's getting kind of ridiculous, spending all this money and sleeping my entire day away because I've been getting so hungover. I need to get my shit together. I just don't have anything to do sometimes, with my roomates working and everything. Drinking usually seems like the logical option. Which in itself seems really, really ridiculous.

... I can't wait for New York ...

444 -- The Mark of...the Beast?

I was looking at my page and I saw that I had 444 views. It made me giggle, although I'm not really sure why. However, none of you will ever get to see it, because I was the only one, but share the moment with me. It was a good one.

Good Bloggie loves you.

And the Picklessssss!!!

This little gem is courtesy of my friend David, who never fails to amaze me with the random shit he finds on the Internet.



Enjoy. Seriously. You will.

Lazy Saturday/ Busy Sunday...

So last night me and Caroline and Mich watched a few movies in lieu of going out. Brewfest was all weekend but I was too hungover Saturday and I have too much to do today... We went to McDonalds and got two movies for two dollars, which was quite a deal. However, we kind of realized why these movies were only a dollar; they we both uniquely ridiculous. We ended up renting Match Point with Scarlett Johanssen and Johnathan Rhys-Meyers (swoon) and ... Aquamarine with a bunch of 12 year olds. However, trying to wrap your brain around the anguish that the main character in Match Point was dealing with seemed to be much harder than watching a movie about a mermaid. I never said we were cool. No, actually, Match Point would have been much better if we hadn't started it at like 1:15 am and finished it at 3:30.

I'm going to make this a short post because I have to go meet my dad for a movie and then babysit my little step-sister later tonight. I have the next two days off... which is exciting because my job is fairly stupid. Oh well. It's money.

Kelsi's 21st...

So last night was my friend Kelsi's 21st in Denver. We started out with a barbequeue at her house, then went to some dive bar in Denver, and finally went downtown to Market Street. It was insane, there was a ton of people there. As we were driving by, we saw the Real World film crew... but I couldn't pic out the actual cast members. I did get to see their house though, and it looks so, so, so cool. Must have cost MTV a bundle.

Fun times. Well, I just got called in to work early, so I guess that's what I'm gonna go do.

Ghost town....

I woke up from my nap today and no one was around. There are signs of life in my house, though, like the TV screen (but not the digital cable) on and loud music coming from downstairs. I'm too groggy to go look though. We thought this summer was going to be the best summer ever, and all we would be doing would be laying by the pool, and drinking and bbqing.... instead all of my roomates work all the time and I'm working and still doing school. It kind of sucks.

God, I'm getting so excited for NYC! I know I still have weeks upon weeks, but I found this awesome blog made by these two hippie Boulderites who decided to pack everything up and live in NYC for a month. It has all sorts of cool stuff in it, and it's coming from a point of view that I totally understand. Check it out if you want...

I read this article about how Russians are brewing their own alcohol and it's really toxic and is killing like, 42,000 people a year. That's a lot of dead Ruskies! "Nurgaliyev said that much of the alcohol was sold in bottles labelled as brands that officially disappeared long ago.
"For example, the cognac Bely Aist has not existed for three years but you can find it in shops. It is fake cognac and all there is in the bottle is a liquid that is dangerous for health and life," he said." What on earth is going on there? However, cigarettes kill like 20,000 people a day worldwide, so maybe they should be printing articles on that.

I just don't have anything to write about lately! My life has gotten a wee bit boring. Let's see, we went to this guy Jason's house last night, which was, well, not that great, and ended up coming home after only an hour. Sooooo exciting.

Wow. I wrote a while back, speculating about Ashlee Simpson's new nose, which turned out to be a definite nose job. Now, I just saw these pictures of Jessica Simpson without the trademark hump in her nose and I was taken aback! She looks.... weird. I think it's insane, every girl in Hollywood wants to look like her and now she looks like every girl in Hollywood. That shouldn't go without me saying, however, that I don't have a nose that I hate, and I really shouldn't be talking. I've been noticing in pictures lately (though no one else probably has) the bump that happened when I broke my nose in high school. The short version of the story was: my friend Joey's swinging arm ---> nose and the next day, crowd surfer in mosh pit's foot ----> nose. Poor little guy. Oh well. I only notice the tiny little bump that didn't use to be there before.

Well, I'm being beckoned to go ride bikes with my roomate. Peace out!

Ugh! I was trying to upload the picture of Jessica Simpson but Blogger is being an asshole and won't let me. So if you want to see it, here you go:

Listening to: The sweet, sweet sound of my fans. Window and ceiling fans, that is. They're there to dampen the sound of the 20,000 pre and post pubescent boys standing outside my window screaming.

Backyard Betty?

AAAA! I just found the coolest hip hop song. Download "Backyard Betty" by Spank Rock immediately. It's unbelievably freaking good.

Back in Black...

Did anyone notice the color overhaul?! I got really, really sick of looking at the same template every day, so I changed it up. I still don't like it completely, but it's looking much better. I hope the pink doesn't hurt the eyes of all my male readers out there.

I'm so schleepy! Last night we went to the Sundance, which was a blast and a half. It was the most fun I've had in a long time... well... maybe it's only been like, 4 days. Still. It was just such a shitshow and I drank there without getting kicked out for the first time. Whitney: 1. Sundance:...2. But see? I'm catching up!

Oh god, I have to go to bed. I just peeled myself off of the couch after sitting through an entire episode of Cheyenne. Seriously though, if I were that hot when I was 15, I wouldn't need a personality either.

Listening to: Howie Day - Collide (it's coming through Burt's wall)

<3

To all my friends having a hard time right now... Hang in there, I love you guys!

Oh, FoCo...

Sorry about the lack of posts... I've been kind of busy lately.

I booked my flight to New York City today... YAY! I'm going the 10th through the 17th... and the 16th is my 21st birthday. I'm so excited. At first I wanted to book my flight so that I could be back for my birthday, but I've just been going to the bars already, so I'm sure they're going to be there when I get back. We're going to spend time at Mac's beach house in New Jersey and do the NYC thing for a while too. This is the funny part: my flight back home is at 6am. The day after my birthday. I don't get to go to sleep. I just get to drink until last call, hope I'm not too drunk, get my shit and leave for the airport. I don't know how the hell I'm going to navigate LaGuardia by myself, drunk. It'll be an adventure and a half... I just hope I don't throw up on some businessman.

My fucking teacher pissed me off so bad today; we had outlines for some stupid "bad news letter" that we were supposed to have for peer-editing today. They weren't even due or anything... Anyways, she sees that me and some other people didn't have theirs and docks us points for "non-professionalism". I spent the rest of class scowling at her while she went over her powerpoints. The best part was that when I got my other letter back (which I also didn't do an outline for) I had gotten a 93%. I refrained from screaming "IN YO FACE!" at her... That's probably not too professional either.

I was driving home the other day and I realized how much I am beginning to love Fort Collins. I spent a lot of time in high school selfishly feeling like this town didn't have anything to offer me, and now that I'm getting older there are so many things to do. Plus, the side of town that I grew up on is just... I don't know, more boring. I think (as stupid as it sounds) that going to the bars has kind of brought a change in my attitude. I remember going places downtown with my parents and walking by like, Lucky Joes or the Rio and thinking that the people in there were so old and that I would never get there. It's weird... I don't feel that old.

I was such a waste of space last week. All I did was go out! It was ridiculous... I think I drank like... 6 nights out of the week. Is it bad that I don't remember?!

I had pics from Saturday on Caroline's camera, but apparently her drunk ass deleted most of them. Damnit. If I get them, I'll post them.

Ok kiddies... It's to hot to...um.. breathe. I gotta go do something.

Listening to: Spitalfield: Stop Doing Bad Things

I was drugged and left for dead in Mexico and all I got was this lousy T-shirt....

Whoo. Last night was a doozy. I just woke up from a nap, and am desperately sucking on a Diet Coke, hoping not to fall asleep on my keyboard and wake up with number key imprints on my forehead. We went to Wash Bar last night, and it was more hoppin' than last time I went... this summer is so much better now that I don't have class so early. Granted, I was still drunk this morning when I was actually in class, but hey. I made it.

Holy shit, I just noticed something. I must have been drunk last night because I stood on the left of all of the pictures. I usually unconsciously stand on the right (I don't know why, don't ask). Hmm. Odd.

I'm going to my friend Kendi's wedding tonight. I have known this girl since junior high and now she's getting married. Are we that old now? I just learned to tie my shoes yesterday and she's gettin' hitched. But maybe that's just me.

Ehhhhnice!

So I wrote in a post a while back about the Borat movie. If you don't know who Borat is, scroll down a bit and look for one of the episodes I put on a previous entry. It's worth it.
Anyways, I found the trailer for the movie, due out in the fall. I'm so, so, so excited, almost as much as I am for Snakes on a Plane. That's huge.

Enjoy yourself.

300 Views!

Yay! Good Bloggie has amasssed over 300 page views. I've only been doing this whole thing since April 28th... so a little over a month and a half. I know some websites get thousands of hits a day, but I just love it when I can see that at least one person cared enough to check out what I wrote. Granted, most of the traffic is usually from someone using Google BlogSearch to find "Never Went to Church" by the Guillemots, (a surprisingly popular search topic that usually leads people to my blog) but I know I've got a few loyal readers. I know I've said it before, but if you've come back to my blog, even once, I love you. I really, really do.

Pong Anyone?

So last night Heather, Mich, Caroline, Brigid and I went to Potts to play beer pong. We grilled burgers before (or in my case, live cow, eugh) and walked over. It was so much fun! It was so random playing beer pong at a restaurant, but Brigid and I won against some hardcore guys and lost against some not-so-hardcore guys. We got kind of drunk... I ended up drinking one of their big beers, taking a kamikaze shot, and downing almost an entire pitcher during the course of our beer pong games. Oops. There was a point where everyone was just yelling loudly at each other because they were all so drunk. I guess that's what half off your tab will do on Sunday nights.

I'm listening to all of my old Rise Against stuff and it's making me sad. I miss going to shows all the time. Freshman year I saw so many shows, like one a week and it's just sad because I don't see any anymore. I really did see all the bands that I really liked a few times each, and now the bands that I'm into are kind of obscure and it's really hard to catch them when and if they come to Colorado. Eh, oh well.

Anyhoo, I don't know what I'm doing tonight, but I hope it's fun, because, well, I'm bored.

Euuuughghghghghgh

Fuck! I had this whole post and I went to copy and paste something about National I love Whitney Day (although it was actually "I love Whitney Houston Day") and I somehow copied the whole page, the whole freaking page, on top of my blog and couldn't delete it. I was pissed. I was writing about how I just saw the movie Cars with my dad and how I really liked it. I was also talking about how I found a link to the Gnarls Barkley performance from the MTV Movie Awards where they're all dressed up as Star Wars characters and that it was introduced by Borat. In summation: Cars, good, Borat, good, Star Wars, good, Gnarls, good. Glad we got that out of the way. Fucking Whitney Houston.

I worked this morning from 9:30-1:30 and I'm a little bit tired. We're going to grill stuff and sit around our new incredibly cheap yet highly functional patio set and then got to C.B. and Potts to play beer pong. I know, right? Beer pong? I guess so.

Last night I went to the new-ish Road 34 bar (the one that's attached to the bike shop on Elizabeth) with Sam and his friends. It was actually really fun. I don't know if I was just drunk or something, but I had a really, really good time. We rode our bikes there! It was just so nice to go to a place that doesn't have any pretense and you don't have to wear high freaking heels and impress anyone. Sam's friend Andy premiered a video he made about all of his friends biking. And Sam fell off of his bike. Twice. Before we got there. Bwahahah.

I've discovered my new favorite activity: biking. Mich, Derek and I rode our bikes (slightly inebriated) to King Soopers to get Funfetti cake mix on Friday. That's the trick. Knock some back before you get on. It was funny though, because we weren't doing anything especially interesting but it was still enjoyable nonetheless.

We'll see if I get around to it, but I think I'm going to write a screenplay with this new program that David gave me... it makes it really easy to insert the same words and stuff in it. When/if I get it finished, David's going to shoot it and edit it like he knows how. He thought of this really cool idea when I told him I wanted to do a caper comedy with like, really quick cuts and artsy shit in it. If it comes to fruition, it'll be so, so cool.

So, I haven't done an iMix in a while, so here it is: My iTunes on shuffle, with no songs skipped:

1. Atlantic - Thrice
2. Can't Nobody Hold Me Down (oh god, so classic) - Puff Daddy
3. Oliver's Army - Ok Go
4. Quality Control - Jurassic 5
5. What If - Coldplay

I got a job!

Yep, I did. I got a job. I'm going to be working at a sandwich place near campus. Apparently I beat out like, 30 other people. It's awesome though, because the owner of the place was a marketing major, and when I told him it was my dream to work for a record company, he said that he had worked in radio for a long time and could hook me up with all sorts of marketing opportunities, both for the restaurant and for other stuff. I'm so excited!

I have my last accounting class today; how glad is everyone not to hear how tired I am in my posts anymore?! David and I are going to go out to lunch after and then I'm going to lay outside with Caroline for a while.

Has anyone heard that song that goes "You can't say tits on the radio"? It's hilarious, because you, well, can't say tits on the radio, and tits gets bleeped out every time. It's kind of like... what's the point? I guess they're trying to let everyone know that you can't say tits on the radio. Who knew?.
