Oy!

I have not written in a very long time. I know. I know. But between work, classes I'm taking, the gym, the 365 project etc. I have not been in any kind of mood to blog. Hopefully things will get a little better and I'll be able to get back to my old blogging self.

Anyway, that candle you see up there advertises to be fabulous (and un-lit it smells awesome too). For over 10 bucks, it better be when I light it next month.

Paranormal Activity

After all the hooplah for Paranormal Activity, and the recommendations from Ghost Theory I thought I'd give it a go. I was going to go with my brother and my boyfriend, but things worked out in a way that I ended up going with my horror movie buddy Christy. It was totally by chance, a whim.

I don't know how I feel about having seen this movie. I love scary movies and rarely does a movie stay with me. But this one totally has made a dent. Horrible. I dont know if I recommend this. Not because it was bad, but because it was too scary.

A lot of people will tell you that you dont really see too much of the ghost. Or like my barista told us after the movie, "well based on it's merits, the movie sucked". This depends on what your personal beliefs are and what your preference in horror movies is. If you like Hostel etc. this is not like that. If you are looking for Halloween or bad ass movie making from hollywood, you wont like this. This is not your clean cut scary movie that is really good from a "film maker's" point of view. If you are not spiritual or religious, you will laugh at the absurdity.

THAT SAID, it got me, and I am a fan of horror/psychological thrillers. I've seen them all. This got me. It got me in the way the excorsist gets people. This movie is basically the excorsist with out the priests or the hope of being saved, filmed with a camcorder (which is why it is compared to blair witch). No big special effects, the movie plays on the beliefs of the viewer and gets more terrifying as it goes along. It is the only movie that I have been to that the audience didn't even wait for the lights to come back on before they left. I will not see this again. Ever.

TV watchin' is BACK!

I decided to get myself a desk. Seriously, I needed it. So it got to me yesterday, unfortch it didn't match with my decor, so I decided to paint it. What an ordeal. After I let it out to dry it got rained on. I decided to assemble it. It got massively scratched. I need to re-paint. I also want to paint the top brown... this blows. But NOWHERE could I find such a small desk, at such a small price, that matched. I've looked. A lot. So I guess that's what I'm stuck with. It's not bad. I also got myself a large format printer. I have been spending a too much for comfort amount of money on design/electronic crap left and right. I seriously have to stop. Why the fuck did I choose such a god dammed expensive career? Seriously, I wish I could just switch..

Anyway, I don't know if anyone who reads this watches FX, but the premiere for Sons of Anarchy was last night.



My friends it was bad ass. The last part was super harsh. But over all, this season is going to be awesome. SOA is about a motorcycle club and the story is loosely based on Hamlet. It's very good. Unfortunately, it is one of those shows where you cannot catch it and catch up. The story goes in a straight line, and there is not much of a recap. Kinda like Mad Men. Also, Nip Tuck is coming back for another season, but seriously, who watches that anymore? ever since they moved the show from Miami to L.A. it has sucked massively. They seemed to have jumped the shark with that move.

Also! if anyone watches Supernatural their final season starts Tomorrow!! wooo!! Lucifer is loose!

Phases

So it feels to me like I'm going through a crisis. A "what to do with myself" crisis. Right now I'm at a "should I go to a portfolio school?" crisis. I already hit up the creative circus in ATL and they -by far- are the coolest. However, cost of living out of state will really screw me up a lot more. So what then? M.A.S? I requested a catalog, again. For like the 4th time. Because, putting myself in debt for 30,000 is much less than putting myself in debt for 50,000 (for a masters) and I would be living at home. But then what to do about my current bills? Would I be able to work a part time? Freelance? Decisions decisions, sacrifices, sacrifices...

Then I think, everyone is in debt because of gradschool right? I would like a cooler job (better book) right? would it be so bad? I have to say the only thing holding me back is my current bills. If I had absolutely nothing but my car to pay for, then I would go whole hog into this. But alas, I don't.

What to do, what to do...

Rough

This weekend has been really rough. Just a bad time all around. I hope the week picks up, because I totally need it. Seriously, need it. Finally, work at work has slowed down. I had a massive melt down Friday, not pretty. hopefully some things I've set in motion will pick up steam. sigh. ok. That was it for the update.

The More You Know...

Decided to take a web design class, and a photographic composition one too. Just to you know, learn more. I really want to get a move on and do whatever it is I am going to do. Astronomically, it is the time to get in gear. So, I'm going to try to facilitate it. No need for me to resist. After all, the future is uncertain and the end is always near, right? Man, I need a nap...
