Reviews and updates!!

Weather

Lordy Lordy, I can officially say or start off with this topic in a good note!! Well, this whole week, starting off during this past weekend, we hit great numbers!! From 50s during the past weekend, to now..today...a world record for us!! We hit 80 degrees today out and the rest of the week into the weekend it seems we'll be staying in the upper or lower 70s.....FINALLY!!! We will be getting rain, but the weather after it won't be a big deal or problem, since it will stay in the 70s. Today, my family had a BBQ or just grilled outside, which ever term you prefer, and it was deeeelishious!! Anyways, its been a great week weather wise so far and it seems it will continue. I'm just happy that it seems to settle around those digits and hopefully it will stay that way.

Movie:

"Silent House"

So, my parents and I went to see this movie on its opening night. It caught my attention and well read the reviews on it being good, so you know...I just hope its better than "The Woman in Black". So it's basically a girl going through memories, with her getting scared and being utterly confused with what's going on in the house. This was filmed in a one shot deal, according to the directors and reviews and all and of course you can tell right away that it was straight in the beginning of it. If you get queasy due to lot of camera move-age, this is not the movie for you! Sure, it seems like it was a good trick to do with the cameras in order to make it seem and feel more scary, but alas...it wasn't that necessary. The new comer Elizabeth Olsen, is the younger sister to the Olsen twins, yeah...you know where they're from and if you don't, ever heard of "Full House"?. Back to her, her acting was good...mediocre, but childish or just plain ole funny to me. Every time she cried, many a people laughed, not just me. At the end of the movie, one person asked my dad, "Hey did you get it?", dad just shook his head and they went on with their remarks about it in needing to see it again to understand it. I understood it, I guess some people aren't just that bright in the crayon box. Ironically, there was a situation during the movie that happened in the theater. 2 women were escorted out by 4 AMC employee's, for what? I will never know. Between that mishap and the movie, the mishap was more interesting lol! Sure it interrupted a part of my movie, but yeeah 2 ladies being escorted out? really a big wow there. Anyways, I rate this movie a good or 3 1/2 stars if that's your liking on rating. Scary parts are mainly noises and sudden appearances of people or so. Small lesson in it, but of course I won't give that away!!

Other life and whatnots...

Been thinking since its soo nice out, to start or learn to drive again. Sadly, I chicken out in the last minute of asking dad or letting the idea out of my head, literally, so it doesn't happen. Been wanting to bike ride as well, but sometimes family just doesn't go out early enough, while sun is out, for us to really enjoy it either. Anyways, got 2 more ideas for laptop covers and I'm still continuing on the "Puss in Boots" one. Seriously, if anyone wants one, just tell me what you want and size of your laptop top/screen and I'll give you an estimate on the price!! Hm, I will soon enough sell off my PSP games and PSP bookbag to either Half price books or Disc Replay and compare which will give me more money cause, I need it now. Anyways, planning on going on a trip in April to see Eric and hopefully it will happen. Also been thinking of going to Job Corps here, but my age is the issue there, sooo it sucks. OH and finally, I have paid off one of my school loans in complete!!! Finally, no more issues with them. We'll see what happens from here with loose ends and all.

Yaaay, I'm an aunt!!! (plus other updates)

She calls it Peanut, for now lol!!

Well, its official!! My sister is finally going to be a mom!! After numerous tries with help or not, she is going to be a mom and finally me an aunt!! I'm super excited for her since she's been through a lot of hell to become a mother in the first place. I told her before, I will spoil her kid rotten, so I will keep my word on that. Ironically, this happened somewhat in the oddest time for me, since I totally got to save up money and help around the house at the same time. It totally leaves me in the negative level of spending any of my money on myself for wants. It means, I can only get what I need or necessities, totally no more shoes, possibly some to no purchase on clothes, and well stretch my money with entertainment and the alike. I have been using/cutting coupons from newspapers and online, so that's a plus there for food and necessities of mine or for the family.

Paintings

So I started to paint again. I love painting and well wanted to get back into it somehow and decided to do something for my laptop!

Pink Floyd ahoy!!

Behold, a Pink Floyd laptop cover!! I hated my laptop not having one and well basically having a clear one that came with it and kept it on my laptop (soo ghetto lol), but I hated it and decided to paint a "cover" for it. Used acrylic paints and bristol sheet for it and ta-daaaa!! At the moment, I am in the process of making another one, completely different from theme of course.

No, its not Carmen SanDiego!!

Ta-daaa, its Puss in Boots!! Why him? Cause he is quite popular nowadays because of his new movie out on dvd!! I bought it, of course, and well decided to do him 'cause of it. I started off with the basic colors that I was able to do quickly. Ironically, I picked to do his eyes and well the blue background. There was a lot of mixing in colors to do with both and I kind of succeeded with the sky, the eyes...I loved doing. I always loved drawing/painting the eyes first on anyone or any animal. The eyes have their own personality and well lots of detail, they stand out!! I will add both of these to my art blog, since they are art (duh lol) and will continue to show the progress of it here and on my facebook as well!! If anyone wants one for their laptop, let me know....message me!!

Collections

 

My awesome X-Files comic book collection!!

I finally found my other X-files comic books and on time!! Last year I went to C2E2 here and bought some X-files comics for only 1$ each, without knowing or remembering which I had already. I guess I got a great memory since I didn't double any of them!! I believe I got 4 different sets of them: the ones on the right, middle, and left top and left bottom. I got the old Topps ones, the more recent ish ones on the left by WildStorm, but 2 different versions by WildStorm "30 Days of Night" and well the other version they took out before "30 Days of Night". I also collected the trading cards relating to the 8th season, but must find my binder of it. Only ones I got from the latest movie are the ones shown in the middle bottom there. This coming April, C2E2 is coming back and I'm determined to get the rest that I need and well see that I like there. At least they are 1$ each, that won't break my budget much to at all. I do collect other stuff, like movie ticket stubs, but that's another story lol!!

Why only in PS3/Xbox??!?!

Why in the heck did they decide to make it ONLY for PS3 or Xbox 360 nowadays?? Seriously, make it at least for the PS2 and I'll be a happy camper. In all honesty it looks badass and they have improved totally in textures, colors......everything!! I sooo wanna play it and well own it, but...it sucks. Guess I need to think of when to get a PS3 honestly. I believe it comes out this coming Friday, if not this coming week. This....bites D<!! (I have yet to finish the wii one btw lol!)

Life, weather, etc...

Well, besides the loads of updates I just did above, life isn't going too well. I believe I hit 2 depression modes/moods this past week or two, the fact that I need to help out money wise in the amount that I mainly get through unemployment, the fact that the unemployment money was for bills, and well the fact that I just don't have a freaking job. I almost feel like going to Job Corps here in Chicago, but what sucks is that I'm already 25 and they only take 16-24 yr olds. I found 2 careers in it that I would like to take, but...my age is the issue. I'll see what I can do, with getting training one way or another. As for the weather, finally we have gotten into the 50s-60s. Tuesday and today we hit lower to mid 60s and both days I was in doors.....which totally bites. Seems during the weekend we will hit lower 50s and the beginning of next week the 60s. If it stays that way next week, I will definitely take my bike out and ride it around the block. I need to get out of this hell...I mean, house, once in awhile. Life was better when you were in grammar school, heck even high school....this bites!!
