Ode to Thanksgiving

There once was a farmer named John
who worked on his farm all day long
He milked cows all day
and then he would shovel some hay
whilst singing a jaunty song.

John had a pet turkey named Moe
After the bartender from the Simpson's, you know
He could dance, talk and sing
He could do just about anything
but of course he still couldn't sew.

Each year when November came
John's wife would say the same
"Without turkey to carve
we shall surely starve
and you will be to blame!"

But John wouldn't comply
He didn't want Moe to die
He'd say, "Mary, my dear
no need to fear
a frozen Turkey I shall go buy."

But this year wasn't the same
When November came
Because times were tough
There was only one thing to stuff
and the bad economy was to blame!

Movie Review: Twilight

The Twilight series is one of my favorite book series of all time. Second only to Harry Potter.

I know, Twilight and Harry Potter are books for kids but I don't care. The stories are awesome!

The Twilight movie was good. Not great but not bad. The main thing to keep in mind is that the book consists mostly of Bella's thoughts and feelings. That combined with the fact that the book isn't that long and doesn't have a ton of drama, it is hard to see how this book can even be turned into a movie.

For tge most part, the movie did a good job of staying true to the book and adding and changing things that made sense for the film.

I think that given what the book had to offer, the movie did it justice.

Sure, there are things that I would have changed. I think that there were some things missing from the movie that could have made it a lot better. Like a lot of the dialog between Bella and Edward.

The other problem I had was with Jasper. In the book Jasper is one of my favorite characters but in the movie he came off as a bloodthirsty Edward Scissorhands.

All in all, I would suggest seeing this movie. I think if you are a big fan of the books and/or you are a teenage girl this is the movie for you!!

Kirk Cameron is a Butt-Munch!

Let us begin with a quote:

"The Mormon is no different then the Jehovahs witness, the roman catholic and the Jew. It's just sinful man trying to wash himself clean with a different brush." -Ray Comfort

This season of Way of the Master (the ultra creepy religious show with kirk cameron and ray comfort) is the worst yet. They have gone from spouting their crap about their weirdo version of Christianity to actually going after other religions. I mean who the hell are they to tell others that what they believe is wrong?!

According to Christianity by kirk and ray, if u believe god loves you then you are going to hell because you are creating a false idol.

And what is really disturbing is that people are actually buying into this crap.

Review: Across the Universe

I wanted to see Across the Universe when it came out but I just never got around to it.

To sum it up-

It is basically a 2 hour music video for very well done Beatle's covers with a seriously psychadelic feel. I would imagine if you were high when you watched it that it would be awesome. But if you watch it sober as I did, it is totally weird but entertaining.

The best part was the music. I had downloaded a few of the songs before seeing the movie but now I really want the whole cd.

The best songs:
Because: a truly amazing cover!!!
Dear Prudence
Okay basically they are all awesome

It is worth seeing.

Random Thoughts from a girl who can't Sleep

Okay, so it is 4:00 in the morning and after a nightmare I am unable to go back to sleep.

Quick note: it's 4:00 and I am typing this using my iPhone. Don't mind the errors.

Random thoughts at 4:00 am:

1. The economy sucks. Like, a lot!! (bad enough for me to have a nightmare about being so poor that I have to be a theme-waitress for some bizare version of the USO. Me dressed in a biohazard suit selling government officials cigars. What the hell is that suppose to mean?!?!

2. I am so ready for the movie Twilight to come out already. I read the books, I've seen the 8 million various trailers and now I really feel that I am ready. With my love of the books and all the mad hype of this movie, I am guessing that it will be some kind of miracle if it lives up to anyones standards. I have high hopes and believe me, I will review that sucker as soon as I see it. The thing that I am trying to keep in mind, and that others should to, is that the movie is going to be way different from the book. And that could be okay. The structure of the book isn't really suitable to be transferred direct into a script like Harry Potter was. The book isn't that long and a large majority of it is internal thoughts of the main character Bella. It comes out on the 21st.

3. Spiders are gross! (as are all bugs). My friend Milkweed and I were attacked by this really horrifying spider in the office!! We thought it was dead and when we got close enough to investigate, it jumped at us! Oh and, the horrible fly that spent it's morning buzzing around my light finally died and fell from the light directly into my coffee!! Ick!

4. It's almost effing thanksgiving!! That's right folks, the holidays are here. Where did this year go? And with all the horrible economy stuff who wants to Christmas shop. Is anyone going to have Christmas spirit? I'm guessing that's a big ole jolly no-no-no!

5. I'm really should be cleaning instead of blogging. I am suppose to have people over tonight and I was going to get up early to clean because I was a lazy bum and did nothing last night (except get a little drunk). I'll start in a few minutes (yeah right!).

Most Annoying Commercial of all Time!!!

The VW commercials with Brook Shields are so annoying that they make me was to throw up on my own car (and I have a VW Beetle)!!

Brook Shields is not a comedian and really shouldn't attempt to be. In these commercials she goes on about how people everywhere are having babies just to get the VW Van thing (which is super ugly anyway). It is such a stupid commercial and there seems to be new ones popping up that have the same lame-ass "baby" joke with, of course lame-ass Brook Shields. We get it, okay. We all had to hear about her and scientology psycho Tom Cruise's fight over the use of drugs after pregnancy...blah, blah. But really!! To put her in a commercial. Was VW so hard pressed for celebrity endorsements that they chose the lamest person ever!! Maybe one of the VW ad executives was up late one night watching that super stupid show she use to be on, Suddenly Susan, or whatever and they were obviously so high that they considered the show to be funny. Who knows?!

The commercial is lame and stupid and everytime it comes on I want to scream, change the channel and go outside and kick every VW with a steel toe boot!!!!!

MS's 2008 Election Coverage

Usually, when I am watching tv and there is a "special report" interruption I change the channel or find something better to do. But last night I not only found myself watching the election coverage, but I was looking forward to it! I sort of made me feel old for a minute. There is nothing more boring then politicans to young people. So, it was really amazing to see so many young people in the crowd (people who were way young then me too).

This was the first time I voted at all and I am really glad that I did. Though I can't say I believe completely that it makes a difference (I guess that is just my "lone gunmen" complex), it really did make me feel like part of something.

Okay. So, things that stood out to me at the election coverage.

1. The music that was playing. The music McCain had after he gave his concession speech sounded like the star wars death march! Maybe it was just ABC.

2. Palin's dress. It looked like a giant bruise. A $150,000 bruise. At least she kept her mouth shut though!!

3. Obama's wife's dress. Wow!! Really horrible. I guess his side really isn't spending $150,000 on her clothes!

4. Obama's speech. Was amazing!! What a great speech.

I can only hope he does bring the change everyone needs!

Now we just have to wait until 1/20 so we can watch Bush get his butt evicted from the white house...finally!!
