New Moon

I loved it. All the cheesy crap in the book was made comical and light in the movie. The acting was much improved, aside from Taylor Lautner and Ashley Greene. They both suck. Nicki Reid didn't get much screen time, and Jasper (WHO PLAYS HIM?!) got to be totally creepy and weird, which was befitting of his overall demeanor (on and off the set). Kristen Stewart not only looked a lot better, but she acted a lot better. Robert Pattinson also improved his acting ever so slightly. I mean it's still a Twilight movie, and it's still stupid, but it was GOOD stupid. Those wolves looked amazing, fake but amazing. Special effects were definitely way better in this one, and I very much appreciate how the sparkles were toned down. Dakota Fanning pwned the role of Jane. All the other Volturi were perfectly creepy and hilarious at the same time. Overall, I LOVED IT. It was just a little slow at the beginning, and as usual, the acting needs improvement.

Sick--still? oh, yes.

As I've been purchasing more makeup items, I've been clearing lots out through MUA. I have already sent out two nail polishes of which I'm not particularly fond. I have lots of other items up for swap as well. That's all.

Last week I developed an icky cold, but over the weekend it seemed to have retreated. False. Monday morning, in the middle of English, I became violently ill. I waited through class, and when I was finished I scurried to the caf to get a brownie. Perhaps a brownie would help. No. The brownies at my school happen to be delicious, but the brownie did nothing for me except provide a few extra calories to burn. I drove home. I really wanted to go to my history class to see my grade on my test, but I felt very close to collapse. I took cold medicine and collapsed. I can't take a lot of any type of medicine to alleviate my sore throat, stuffy nose, aches, etc., so I'm particularly miserable. It still hasn't gone away, so I'll be missing classes again this morning. I hate it. I fucking hate missing classes. It's too early in the semester to have missed as many as I already have. :o/

So over the past two days I've been laying in my bed absolutely miserable, reading books and attempting noms when made available. I re-read New Moon, since the movie is soon, and I didn't give it a review before. I also read some of my philosophy stuff. Descartes. I even did the homework assignment we had, though I won't be able to turn it in since I'm sick. I'll have to e-mail my HOT teacher to get the homework for today. I better be well by Friday, since I absolutely must be in class. ugh.

I am going back to bed.

Sleepy.

Still waiting for my birthday present. Hmph!

A friend ordered a movie for me. I'm awaiting its arrival (on Thursday? methinks).

I've been getting really sick in the mornings for the past few days, and that's no bueno, obviously. I have a test tomorrow, and I absolutely have to be at school at 8:30 A.M. to go to my philosophy class that I have missed like four times. I can't do that if I'm feeling woozy! I can't take a two question essay test if I'm feeling woozy, either. The last time I did that, I FAILED. Woozy be gone!

I am really excited for September because Bones is coming back. That's really all that matters in life. The new season of House looks stupid and just as annoying as all the others, so I'll pass. Even though all episodes of Bones are exactly the same way, I just can't stop watching it. BUT the best thing of all: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! I really shouldn't watch that show because I pick a favorite, get attached, and become really sad when that person inevitably leaves. Except not last season--Jeanine won! and she was in my top three. Oh well.

Also, it puts me one month closer to seeing New Moon. Hello.

I'm supposed to mail stuff today, and I need to do that now, but I can't because I'm feeling rather ill. The woozy. Very bad, very bad.

The natural food store next to my house is amazing.

I cannot choose a nail color for this week! :o/

Fail. Fail. Fail. All fails away!

So there is this SWEET deal at maccosemetics.com right now, and today's the last day. Free shipping, AND 25% off. Now, there aren't many things from MAC that I MUST have, but there is one thing, one little thing. It's a brush. I cannot find a brush like it ANYWHERE, and I need it. It's like 50USD though, and I cannot justify 50USD on a brush that I'm only going to be using on my own face at all. With a 25% discount, it would almost be justifiable, and almost is enough for me. But no, no, I'm not really allowed to spend money right this second, not during the THREE DAY SALE ON THE INTERNET. Thanks, MAC. You have impeccable timing, as always, like with Hello Kitty. And why did I not know that Fresh Brew was a permanent color? If I had known, I would not have bought it with HK. I would have bought one of the other, LE lipsticks instead. FAIL. 

In other news, someone drank all of my grape juice. ALL of my grape juice. Mind you, I drank most of it, but someone else finished MY BOTTLE OF GRAPE JUICE. Grape juice is my life. Grape juice is my second to water. If I had had my grape juice the other day instead of a CamelBak travel with a detached straw that was full of water, I would not have burned the shit out of my tongue with naproxen sodium. No. I would have washed it down, coating and all, with some sweet grape juice. I would not have a caustic burn SCAR on my tongue right now. I wouldn't have an extremely sensitive, painful spot on my tongue right now. My life would be significantly better if the grape juice had been there. 

The next time I buy grape juice, I am stockpiling it, and I will keep it all in my closet (because I definitely have the space), and I will always have grape juice. Forever. This will keep things like chemical burns in my mouth at bay. My life will be better. It's the little things, people. 

Also, this shopping habit has to stop. I hate having all this Stuff. It's ridiculous. I don't like it. 

I do, however, really like my NYX Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean. It is the smoothest one, and it worked amazingly for my Amanda Palmer makeup the other day. It made the perfect blood-red for my eyeshadow that I needed, and then I could use brown without looking like an idiot. It was fantastic, and my makeup was fantastic, and if I ever get the photos back I will make a slideshow, and I will submit it, and I will hope that I win because I really like winning, especially when the winning is talent based, and I've been feeling awfully low on my talent lately. 

I cannot decide if I like my Chanel better or if I like Juicy Couture better, the scents. I could sit and sniff them all day to decide, but I'd get a migraine, and since my brain is quite sensitive and migraine happy since I take awesome drugs that like to cause migraines, I'm not really in the mood to do that. 

I just spend three hours on blogtv. I love blogtv. It allows me to vicariously watch Intervention and laugh hysterically at incredibly awesome human beings. It somehow manages to give me a sense of hope in humanity or something. 

Now I feel like I need to watch and/or quote Clueless. 

Another thing, when my boyfriend is busy, and I call him, I expect him to do the respectful thing and ignore my call, like hit the ignore button. He never does. He either lets it ring until it goes to voicemail, or he answers and says he's busy. Both of which I hate. So I called him earlier to tell him something really exciting (and now I've forgotten what it was), but it was actually relevant to him, and I needed to tell him in real time, not through voicemail, and HE IGNORED MY PHONE CALL. Why? Just why. I mean seriously. THE ONE TIME. WHY?! 

I am so excited about Public Enemies it's not even funny. I am very confused about what role Marion Cotillard is actually playing, and I'm too lazy to IMDB that shit, so I'll stay confused until I see the movie THE DAY IT COMES TO THEATERS. I'm sure I've never discussed my interest in criminals, particularly bank robbers and serial killers. Now, John Dillinger was not a serial killer (or was he? hmmm ponder ponder), but he did rob banks, and I am fascinated by this bank robbing. So I am excited about this movie, and I need to see it, and besides that Johnny Depp makes a hot John Dillinger. And Marion Cotillard is just cute. How can you not want to pet her? or make friends with her? or just stare at her adorable little Frenchie face? I haven't been this excited about a movie since, like, that movie that was a huge letdown. You know the one. Watchmen. Huge disappointment. Huge. Epic. FAIL. 

I am also particularly excited about Harry Potter. It just looks really good. And I fucking love Harry Potter. 

Also, New Moon, just because Kristen Stewart looks totally hot in it, and that's a good enough reason for me. I believe I mentioned how much I hated that book, and I will probably suffer watching the movie, too, but it'll be worth it to see Kristen Stewart doing what she does best---being hot while being incredibly petulant and ungrateful and annoying and stupid and reckless and completely fucking pathetic. Hot is all that counts when it comes to these kinds of things. What else could anyone bring to Twilight? The raw material is shit. Also, Dakota Fanning plays one of the really mean, scary characters, and that has to be hilarious. HILARIOUS. I can just see it now. Hilarity will ensue. 

My car is hot. It needs air conditioning. I have to make all of my doctor appointments and such in the morning to avoid dying on the way. Therapy is only available in late afternoons though. Ugh. FAIL. 

I am pretty tired. 

Twilight That Shit

So I was talking to my boyfriend, and I told him that I need to get some Twilight posters and shit, so I can just have a really "twied" out space. I don't know that anyone would really understand the sick humor that would be behind such a move though, so I'm not sure I can really Twi anything. If I walked into my bedroom and saw a fucking Twilight poster everyday, it would make my day every single time just because it's funny to me that people would put a fucking TWILIGHT POSTER on their walls! The Prince poster almost does that. The same concept is behind my Hello Kitty KAR idea. It would be amazing. If they made Twilight car accessories, I'd be all over them. I can just imagine driving around with my Twied out fucking car. Amazing. 

So since New Moon is coming out, and I am kind of excited about it, I decided I should re-read the book. Obviously. Even though I hated it because it's full of Jacob being obnoxious. I am pretty sure that I did not give each Twilight book its own review because I just said I didn't really like the series because it was stupid, but then I kind of liked it because it was stupid. The second book is absolutely my least favorite. After re-reading some key passages from the fourth one, I have decided it is no longer the worst book I have ever read. New Moon isn't either, but of all four of those pieces of shit, New Moon is the one I seriously loathe. And the excerpt on the back also pisses me off. Now then---if we know that Edward leaves, and we know that when he does Bella feels like she's got this "hole" in her chest, then the excerpt on the back which says "It was like there had never been any hole in my chest" we KNOW Edward comes back, and that's just not any fun; is it? It's fun to me because I know that the end of the book doesn't ultimately matter, particularly when it's in the middle of a series (though in these it kind of does because they lack substance), and I couldn't really care any less about it being spoiled, or whatever. Other people, on the other hand, would be upset about this. Of course, they'd all be super happy that Edward's BACK!!!, but they want that suspense all through the book. They need it; they live off of it. It makes me angry, and I knew as soon as Edward left that he was going to be back IN THAT BOOK because of the excerpt on the back of the book. Maybe I'm the only one suspicious enough to pick up on it? I'm the most suspicious reader ever. 

I am slightly ashamed at how much I just typed about Twilight (New Moon). BUT not ashamed enough to delete it. 

I feel manic and hyper and not even in a good place. This is bad. I do not like it. I blame Twilight. or the internet. Or Mental. or Bones. Or House! idk. 

I should watch a movie! or re-read this book. or finish that other book. or something. I don't know. 

I don't know why I'm even "blogging" right now.

AND my boyfriend NEEDS TO FINISH TWILIGHT SO HE CAN READ NEW MOON SO HE CAN GO SEE THE MOVIE WITH ME! 

Bits of Fluff!

First and foremost, my nails today are blue and shiny with China Glaze's "Sexy in the City."  Yes, they do look like crap. I am not in the mood to clean them up right this second, and I seriously just finished them. The lighting in here does not do the color justice. It's darker than that! 

I received my MUA swap finally. I got the NYX Doll Eye mascara (which I used today, and I really like it). The swapper also sent me a baby pink Sephora lip pencil and a sample jar of Fawn Intensive Foundation from Everyday Minerals. I already use that, so...thanks. 

Other things of note: NEW MOON TRAILER!

I am pretty excited about it, particularly since it looks better than the first one, AND it looks like they finally plucked Kristen Stewart's eyebrows, so she's like ten times more attractive than she used to be!!! Amazing. 

Now to the important bits of fluff that aren't particularly fluffy. 

WWF = my favorite organization. 

I'd like everyone to listen to this. 

Also, adopt an animal or five. I have asked several people to adopt an animal for me in lieu of material gifts for my birthday. Obviously, I'd really like an octopus adoption (or five) and the Bornean pygmy elephants and pygmy marmosets and, like, all the other animals. RED PANDA. I just want more people to pay attention to wildlife and what all of our bullshit does to it. Seriously. It's disgusting and shameful. Any kind of donation to the World Wildlife Fund would make me happy. 

Also, this is a really good thing to which everyone should donate. One of the charities receiving funds is the WWF!
