Movie Review for Twilight

Ahh, Twilight.

Awful. I do have to say they ruined the image that I had from the books. It was pretty close to the book which was great but was killed by the cheesy acting skills by the actors themselves. There CGI was just as bas as the new Indiana Jones movie. Now here is my bad list of things that happened in Twilight.
  • Edward started with a British accent that turned into a new york accent and then turned into an Australian accent.
  • The climbing the tree that was ridiculous, as well as the running.
  • The caked on make up that made them horribly white and completely not natural
  • The sparkle of the gems when Edward showed his body to Bella.
  • The cheesy guitar music when Bella and Edward look at each other.
  • Jasper. That's all I need to say.
  • The baseball scene. Gross. The running and pretending that they knew how to play.
  • The dialogue wasn't great but it was in the book. Now hearing it in your head and then actually hearing out loud was a drastic difference. Awful hearing the words come out of someone elses mouth.

Now I do think that I casted Bella really well for the part she was exactly what I would have expected from the book.

The City Girl review is...Horrible, not to my standards. I didn't like it at all. To cheesy for my tastes when I thought that it was going to be a good movie. If you want a cheesy, good movie Aquamarine is so much better watch.

New Years Eve

New Years Eve...

Happy New Years! I love that today is the last day of the year! So for the two people who read this blog I will see you next year. Hehehe.

I am hoping that next year will better then this last year. Lots of stress, Washer break right after we got back from camp, trying to pay our property taxes and insurances, and now just in my insurance denied payment for my ultrasound that I had last month and early this month. So now I am dealing with that which of course will continue into this next year. But I think that this next year is going to an interesting start but I think that it will be great later on in the year. VACATIONS!!! I love vacations.

This last day at work the last day of the year of work was suprisingly not as busy as I thought it would be. Crazy that the only busyness of work I wasn't there for. However we were busy with many needy customers. Sitting down and talking that kind of needy things.

New Years Eve has all kind of fun memories. Staying up till the wee hours of the night or all night long, drinking a ton of sparkling apple cider, one time even babysitting which was a lot of fun, and playing endless amounts of games (basketball, solitaire, poker, speed, etc.) This year I'm up at a friends house going to watch movies and play rockband. Thrilling isn't it!! See you next year.

Vacations

You know a savings account money supposed to go in but not out. That's the ideal way you use your savings account. Yeah I don't I'm awful. I tell my husband yeah we have enough money for that knowing full well that I will have to transfer money over to cover part of what we just bought. Thinking about vacations and all the things that we need to do to the house it's almost mind boggling of how we are going to do it. Yikes.

However, Bill and I have to start really start saving all of our pennies so that we are able to pay our bills , ie. taxes and home owners insurance, and be able to go on our 2 year planned vacation that we have been talking about for so long. It's really bad I keep thinking of bad things that are going to happen so that we won't be able to go on the vacation, awful isn't it.

Anyway, all the things are coming down to this. 9 months to go and we will be in Utah bathing in the sun. Yipee. I'm so excited that I can't handle it. I haven't gone on a trip, a slight road trip that is in about 3 years now. The last one that we went on was to Louisiana to see his sister get married. We've gone on so many short trips to friends houses that live in Washington or in the Valley but those really don't count as vacations and I mean true vacations. Packing bags going out on the open road. True vacations going through towns that you can't believe there are people living there and wondering what they do for a living.

In "Yes Man" there's a part where the two actors go to an airport, go up to the counter and ask for the first flight out of the airport. That sound like so much fun that I think that Bill and I will have to do it sometime in the near future. In the movie they go to Lincoln, Nebraska so you know that when Bill and I do it, it will probably be to Bismarck, South Dakota or something like that but it will be so much fun.

Anyway, 9 months can't wait!!!!

Movie Review For Anaconda's 3

Here Kitty, kitty, kitty!

Anaconda's 3 was interestingly enough pretty decent if you like cheesy, blood gore action that is so fake you laugh out loud after you see something on screen. The graphics are sometimes worse then a film from the 80's but mostly only when it shows the snakes. David Hasselhoff of course was the knight in white button up shirt or so you think.

The 100 plus foot female anaconda was set free by the 100 plus male genetically enhanced anaconda that almost only eats the heads off humans instead of the whole body. Of course the anaconda only senses body heat so when the girl falls into a mud puddle it instantly can't see her. Ha, ha.

So the first film was just an anaconda, the second was mating season, third one PREGNANCY! Dun dun da. Thrilling isn't it.

There are some twists and turns and of course you guessed it predictable things that happen but it's still pretty decent.

So the city girl review for Anaconda's 3 is....a must see film. Go into it knowing that you will laugh. Cheesy but great. You never know there might even be an Anaconda's 4 pretty soon.

Christmas

Alright, alright. I know it has been awhile since I have blogged. So Christmas is over now and it just was blah. I really enjoyed being with Bills family on Christmas Eve but I got sick and started to not feel very well and then on top of that we couldn't go to my parents house or grandparents house so I just wasn't the same. However we are going to go out this next weekend so that will be nice.

So I got a three barrel curling iron, so excited about by the way, some movies, some stationary, and a picture to hang up on the wall, oh and of course some jelly beans (way to go Julie). I love jelly beans.

It was a nice Christmas Eve full of fun and excitement and a lot of laughs. Christmas day was the weirdest one I have ever had. I have never been without family to hang out with. Bill and I just sat around and watched movies all day long. Which don't get me wrong I love doing it but it was weird on Christmas when I'm usually surrounded with family. But you know it just makes Christmas last longer then usual. Christmas will come again at the beginning of the new year.

I just can't believe that next week will start the new year 2009. Insane this year has gone by so fast. I hope that this next year will be even better then 2008. I'm sure it will though. I get to see 3 of my friends have new babies, 2 of which are the first baby to the families so I'm ultra excited to see them and hold them. Then after talking about a trip that Bill and I are going to take with a couple of friends for 2 years it is finally going to happen. I'm so beyond excitement for that trip that I'm not sure I can handle it. So I better stop thinking and talking about it. Anyway, I'm excited for the new year to start can you tell.

Snow!!!!!!!

It's snowing!!!!!!

It has been snowing since 8 this morning it's so cool. I'm up further on the coast in Washington now and it's great today and it just hasn't stopped snowing I love it. Unfortunately my husband had to go back to work today so I'm just hanging out with some friends and their kids which is great even if he couldn't be here.

I think that the perfect day when it snows or even rains is having a cup of hot chocolate or tea or coffee for the coffee and tea lovers, personally I like hot chocolate on these days. Then curling up on the couch and either reading or watching a movie with the fire going. Now unfortunately our fireplace is propane and but onto a thermometer so it only comes on when our house is cold but you know the vision is there. I LOVE the SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Snow

I love the snow so much that I'm almost willing to move to Alaska right now. Obviously I know that it is double the amount of cold it is here but I love being cold and I figure I could acclimate to the weather. I have almost gotten my husband to again with it to. Although he says that I will be to sad to live there so far away from all my friends but I say screw it lets go that's why I have the internet. Hehe. Just kidding I would be sad but I would love the opportunity to live in Alaska for awhile though.

It's been so much fun, all of the snow and ice that have been on the ground for about 4 days now. I am sad to say that it has almost all melted away now. We still have patches though in our yard of all that snowy goodness. I am excited that we might get more and I am looking forward to it with a passion. You have got to understand that we never really get snow ever or a lot of it so when it does or if there is even a chance for snow then I am as giddy as a school girl again. Although I have to say I am one of those crazy, annoy drivers that goes so slow there's a line of people behind me wanting me to go faster. Snow and ice scare me when I drive. I'm never in it so I can't ever learn how to drive. I think that I'll go up to Mt. Hood and learn how to drive on the snow and the ice up there and have my husband teach me. Who knows when that will happen though most likely not this year.

Everyone pray as hard as you can for SNOW!!!! Maybe it will come. Have snowy dreams.
