Back from the dead...

So I've been gone awhile (I'm sure that both of my dear readers barely noticed) and now I'm back, hopefully, with more consistency.

Here's the quick breakdown of wha's bin happenin'.

I moved to Shelley, Idaho in late April. I have now moved back to a different apartment in Idaho Falls. I don't even think the story is worth telling. It wasn't a horrible choice, just the wrong choice, and now I'm setting it right.

My Mom moved away. To Phoenix. This is a good/bad thing. Suffice it to say, I think it's the right move for her, and I hope that all will be swell for her there.

This means I have moved myself and helped another person move for a total of three moves in five weeks. I hate moving.

I had lost 23 pounds. 'Had' being the operative word there. I have gained back 13, resulting in a net loss of 10 (for you not-math majors out there.) I now live five minutes from the gym and I've started going again.

I hate my jobs. This will be it's own blog someday.

Speaking of jobs, I'm at one of them now and I prolly shouldn't be writing this, so I'll take my leave.

I'll be back soon. I promise.

Movies I watched in March, 2009

The other day I turned on my DVR and discovered that it was 98% full. There were a few things on there that I didn't care about, but after I deleted them I still had 94% fillage. So I started watching shows that I had meant to watch forever and ever. Thus, in March, I watched less movies, and more TV. Here's what I watched, and they are, as always, in alphabetical order...

MOVIES:
District B13
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (about 10 times)
Employee of the Month
Knowing (one of the worst movies I've seen in a looong time)
Let the Right One In
Quantum of Solace
Reservoir Dogs
Stardust
Zack and Miri Make a Porno

TV:
Four episodes of the Dollhouse
Six episodes of Fringe
Six episodes of Life
Five episodes of No Reservations (Azures, Chicago, New York, Washington D.C., Mexico)
many and various cooking/travel shows

So there you have the month of March and the crap I watched. Hopefully you've all seen Dr. Horrible and none of you have seen Knowing.

My inner twelve-year-old is pleased...

For a long while now, my favorite baseball player name has been Albert Pujols. Why, you ask? Because it's pronounced "poo-holes". I can't hear that name or see his picture without smiling. Because I'm a child. An immature child. Pujols, seen here,



plays first base for the St. Louis Cardinals and he hits the ball really, really far.

So last night I'm watching the much-maligned World Baseball Classic (it's maligned mostly because it sucks) and Japan was playing Korea because the USA slacksters had been eliminated and who should come to the plate but my new favorite name, Bum Ho Lee.



Lee ripped a shot to left that sent the game to extra innings, but that wasn't important. What was important was the grown men professional sportscasters who had to say his name over and over again. I giggled for an hour.

Am I alone here? Does anybody else think this is funny? Cartman? Beavis? Back me up here.

And while we're on the topic of what my inner moron thinks is funny, I present to you a veritable potpourri of celebrity shtuff that amuses...












Okay bye bye.

Movies I Watched in February, 2009

These are (obviously, if you read the title) the movies I watched last month, in alphabetical order.

1. the Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension
2. An American Carol
3. Children of Men
4. the Departed
5. the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
6. Hancock
7. Idiocracy
8. Layer Cake
9. Manos Hands of Fate (MST3K version)
10. Mission Impossible 3
11. Raising Arizona
12. Rushmore
13. Serenity
14. Seven Samurai
15. Top Secret
16. Tokyo Gore Police
17. Wanted
18. Withnail & I

So I did someting this month that I almost never do: I actually turned three of these movies off before finishing them. I rarely do this to any movie, let alone multiple flicks. I did this because they were just not working for me and to be honest I didn't want to waste my time. It probably is no coinicidence that I gave up on all three in about a weeks time, so we'll blame it on me, not them? Okay? Okay.

Brownie points to anyone who can guess the proper three that I rejected.

Also, I felt as if I just didn't get many movies watched in February. Is watching 18 (well, 15 and change) movies in a short month bad? Average? Anyone out there watching more? Less? Am I just being a total weirdo? Feedback please...

Stupid film list meme

I stole this meme from a friend of mine and I just wanted to see how many of these I've seen. Probably too many. There are a few things on here that I'm embarassed to have seen, but also some that I'm emabarassed to have missed. Cest la vie. I think that going through this list also shows that today I really don't have much going on...this is the high point of my day so far.
