Cloverfield

*****SPOILER ALERT*****
If you haven't seen this film and actually want to, I suggest you don't read this post.


So the dvdrip download of this movie came out recently and I was able to grab It and have It finish In record time. (about 30 minutes to my surprise) Well, there was a big deal about this movie and we were excited to finally get to see It. Both of us were thoroughly disappointed.
First, my boyfriend Is a survival nut, and I've got the pleasure of learning all about It as well just by being around him. So since the first "big bang" hit In the movie he Immediately started spouting off all the things they did wrong. And sadly, so did I, but only In my head. In all honesty, they should of died within the first 10 minutes of the attack. And don't even get my started on the ending when there helicopter was grabbed and thrown, and OMG AMAZING the 3 douches In the back seat, one who should have already been dead just by bleeding out, lived while the 2 army guys with body gear and helmets and training, died. Oh, and how 80/100 of the army's missiles and such missed(fyi, that just doesn't happen anymore with our technologies nowadays)
And talk about huge disappointment with the monster. I mean, It was better for me to think of It as one of those funny caption pictures of a reeealllyy fat and ugly girl destroying Manhattan.(I know, I know, that's mean, but trust me, It did make the movie better) And I just can't seem to find the picture I'm talking about but It'll pop up again one day I'm sure.
Oh, and while we're on the monster, how about those mini monsters that dropped off of him? They're like, a knock off of Starship Troopers amiright? To make up for that, they could of at least let us see that one chick explode after she got bit, Instead of hiding It. ~sigh~
I'm not sure If the movie was ruined for me for the simple fact of they should have died within that first 10 minutes of the attack, but lucky for them, movie magic happened. I really don't feel like going through all the hundreds of times that they wouldn't have lived being as I just can't remember most of them, after seeing that end helicopter scene I was just, awed at the amount of...God I can't even think of the word! If you've seen It, you have to agree, you just have to. Oh, and just another fyi, the military pilots would of NEVER flown that helicopter In the same direction of the many missiles and monster, never...
So, ok, I do like the fact that It was an original idea(the dude "documenting" the whole thing(I don't see Blair Witch Project as something to ever be mentioned In the movie world so don't think about It lol) By doing that It did make It a watchable movie. It just wouldn't be as talked about as It was If It was made the regular movie way. I just wish they would of at least looked up some survivalist things on the Internets. It was just obvious the writer didn't do a lick of research on anything they put Into the movie, and It could of been more...realisitic?...If they did.
That's my 2 cents, like It or not :)

Lip Gloss

I've been addicted to chap sticks, lip glosses, lip sticks, you name It, since I was a little girl. I've pretty much screwed myself over big time because my lips have stopped moisturising themselves long long ago. I've tried just about everything under the sun and after seeing an add for these Wet Slicks Fruit Spritzers from CoverGirl, I figured "eh, sure, why not"
I looked at about a hundred reviews for the product out of boredom and everyone who tried It, loves It. So, obviously, It was my turn to try it.
I've been using It for about 4 days now and so far, I'm thoroughly pleased. True, It Is slightly sticky, but as long as you don't put gobs of It on, you won't even notice. And a lot of the reviews I read said It doesn't last long and you have to apply It a lot. Well...I call bullshit. Like I said, my lips hate me for the torture I'm always putting them through, and I don't have to reapply It unless I eat/drink and even then I don't always have to, I'm just used to doing It.
I'm not sure about the other flavors, but I just picked up the Lemon Splash one, and it certainly does smell and taste like It's name.
One thing I've found to be very helpful, no matter what you're using on your lips, Is to get out of the habit of pressing them together. That helps a lot with keeping It on your lips and not having to reapply or having It start to look and feel funny.(I have to admit though, I'm still trying to kick that habit myself and It's hard!)
So, yeah this Is my girlie post for the next few days lol. If you are looking for a new kind of lip gloss, I highly suggest this one. It's about...$5-6 dollars at my grocery store.

Owies!

We went hiking Saturday around a big lake over on the Army Base. I got a really bad sunburn on my shoulders :( I've only been burned twice my entire life and both times I was near water, even though I was born and raised around beaches and lakes and never burned when I was younger. So yeah, I'm In a lot of pain and shock hehe. but I learned my lesson, I just can't go without suntan lotion anymore :(
We also took our fat pug A.K.A : Adventure Dog! He may be fat and lazy, but when we take him for our little hikes, he loves it. He loves It so much he didn't once hint to the fact that he scraped up his puppy peds pretty badly :( Towards the last 20-30 minutes he did slow down a great bit but we figured It was because he's fat and lazy lol. But he's a trooper, he loved going down to the water and splashing around and laying down In It ><. And not even 3 days later and his feeties are already doing fine. He still doesn't like to walk on the rocks, and being Its Arizona, thats pretty much all we have here :( So I do have some puppy pads down on the back porch for him to use cause we just feel horrible about his feet getting cut up :(
And yet again, our house searching Is put on hold, my bf's work Is putting all the programers through a class for the next week anda half. So he wont be able to leave early or come on his lunch break or take the whole day off to go look at some places. I'm pissed cause there Is 2 places In the newspaper that sound exactly like what we're looking for, and I have to wait untill the weekend to go look at It, and with my luck, It will no longer be available.
Ok, that's It for now, gotta go start the Monday morning chores. Have a great morning!
