Upcoming Movies

You should know that I hate going to the movies. I hate sitting in uncomfortable movie theaters for long periods of time with the occasional smelly hot-dog guy sitting near me. Even if the theatre was all for myself, I still wouldn't like it though, I prefer to sacrifice the big screen, and watch the movie at home. Still, sometimes I do enjoy going out to the movies, spending some time with friends and such. So that said, here are four movies that I want to see (not necessarily in theaters).

1. Everybody's Fine >
Drew Barrymore, Robert DeNiro, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell.
Comedy about a dad visiting his 3 kids bc they can't come home during their usual holiday
weekend.
Favorite trailer part:
- Prostitute: "Do you want to see my legs?"
- DeNiro: "Do you want to see mine?"
Release date: December 4, 2009

2. Up in the Air > George Clooney, Vera Farmigan, Anna Kendrick, Jason Bateman, Danny McBride.
Clooney works as the person who fires people from other
companies. He travels a lot, and he has to teach a new employee the tips and perks of tra
veling frequently.
Favorite trailer part:
- Clooney: "Bingo. Asians, they pack light, travel efficiently, and they have a thing for slip-on shoes. God love 'em." (advicing her to stand behind them in the airport security line)
- Anna Kendrick: "Thast's racist."
- Clooney: "I'm like my mother, I stereotype. It's faster."
Release date: December 4, 2009

3. It's Complicated > Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, Zoe Kazan and Lake Bell.
Jane and Jake are divorced. They start having and affair. Adam, Jane's architect also plays a role in Jane's life.
Favorite trailer part:
- Streep: "Jo you are so lucky Jerry is dead."
- "Jo": "Thank you."
- Streep: "Yo don't have to bump into him!"
Release date: December 25, 2009

4. Nine > Daniel Day-Lewis, Sophia Loren, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Fergie, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench.
Portrays film director Guido Contini's life and struggle to keep balance between his job and the women in his life.
Favorite trailer part:
- Dench: "Directing amovie is a very over-rated job. We all know it. You just have to say 'ye
s and no', what else do you do? Nothing. 'Maestro should this be red? Yes. Green? No. More extras? Yes. More lipstick? No.' Yes. No. Yes. No. That's directing."
Release date: December 25, 2009

starred for life

So this past spring I became obsessed with having a star tattoo on my left wrist. I don't really remember why it all started (I actually didn't know about these celebrities having theirs) but during senior trip my friends and I started a craze amongst our classmates. Anyways what has been on my mind since then is: should I get it permanently?Probably not. I do not want to be "starred for life" and since I bought henna over the summer, I can reapply it as necessary.
So here's a pic of my current tattoo and some of celebrities who are apparently my tattoo twins (except theirs are real tattoos).

nails nails nails

I'm obsessed with OPI and their creatively named nail polishes. I was looking on their website and found colors that I wish I had for this winter...
I do have one though, think you might guess it?

- Light My Sapphire
- Here Today ... Aragon Tomorrow

- Midnight Moscow
- Black Cherry Chutney
- Yoga-ta Get This Blue
- Conga-line Coral (if you're going to the beach for x-mass break take this one with you definitely)


Back to basics


I will once again attempt to jump-start my blogging skills and actually keep up with my blog. I've realized that I don't post often since I don't really know what to write about. That said I am going to make an effort to write about something. Still deciding whether I should have a theme or not. I think not. I'll write about everything. Ok so lets start!
I will start by posting outfits that I have created that i like (although since I don't have my camera bc I lost it, the pics will have to be photobooth for now)

<3 Greek

Firstly I should tell you that I love Greek! Its one of my favorite TV shows (even more because they put up new episodes the same night they air!). Now that thats clear, I have to say I do hate the fact that their seasons are so short (or at least they seem like it). I love crawling into my bed and watching the most recent episode, but now I have to wait until the end of January! That is more than 2 months away!

Anyways, I saw this season's finale yesterday and I fell in love with the show even more (if thats even possible). I love Cappie and Evan, and I wish I had Rusty for a little brother. Sometimes I even wish I belonged to Zeta Beta Zeta (as crazy and obsessive that may sound).

Here are some of my favorite Greek moments:

  • Cappie and Casey get back together. (Season 3 Episode 9) > after many episodes of struggling to tell each other that they are still in love with each other, they finally accept it. So romantic! (even though it probably is the complete opposite, but who cares). *note: this is not a picture from the scene I am referring to, but it captures some of the point.
  • Zeta Beta "Good Girls Gone Bad" Dance (Season 3 Episode 9) > its a fun dance to watch... gets you in the mood to dance with them! Very very good song; actually reminds me of my sister (and come on, who doesn't want to see the Gamma Sis get their butts kicked lol! even if they won)!
  • Spitter gets his nickname (Season 1 Episode 1)> very funny attempt at doing a tequila shot lands Rusty the "Spitter" nickname. This scene is hilarious mostly because I could actually picture a nerdy guy doing the exact same thing. I still find Rusty very cute tough. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBLRAYLzge4]
  • Season 1 Episode 15 > the whole episode is amazing! Interesting to see how the whole thing started, bringing the past out (mixed with the current events). Also it got me thinking about what will happen during my college years. How will my relationships play out? (feeling nostalgic much?). Complete with a "Grey's Anatomy" scene, Cappie and Evan as roommates, Ashley's jumpy personality when meeting Casey and Frannie as the ultimate "sorority queen".

These are my favorite moments for now, I will be posting more afterwards!

2.11.09

It's been a while since my last post, but I have not been very motivated due to the lack of viewers (I hope I get some viewers soon!) Anyways, yesterday was Halloween (which makes tomorrow Dia de los Muertos in Mexico!) and I went to a very fun party. Thought should share some good costumes I saw, and show pictures!
1. Sexy Mr. Peanut > ok I hate the whole Halloween sexy cliche thing, but it is obviously a must for some people. Very creative costume made up of a short yellow dress with black peanut-texture decorations, a monocle (one side of actual glasses without the shade), a "mr. peanut" hat and an umbrella as a cane.
Mr. Peanut

2. Ostrich Rider > I am really not that into completely bought costumes but this one was very funny. It was just an inflatable costume resembling a person riding "Olly" the Ostrich.

ostrich

3. Three-hole punch > I have to confess at first I didn't even realize the guy was wearing a costume, but after over hearing him I found it creative, very simple (three black circles pasted onto his clothes), but creative.

3-hole

4. Carrot (as egoistical as it may sound... I am very creative!) > I was very excited to be a carrot this year (even if it meant having to tell people what I was since many guessed completely wrong or just stayed quiet) because it was an easy and comfortable costume, but still very original. You should know, I am all for making your own costume, that includes asking somebody else to sow it for you (as long as you don't buy a bag that has your whole costume inside it!)

5. Ipod Commercial > this I didn't see yesterday, in fact I haven't actually seen it in person yet. My cousin dressed up as an Ipod Commercial wearing all black and sticking a piece of neon colored cardboard paper on his back. I thought it was insanely creative and way out of anybody else's league (hence the blog mention!)
