The Dark Knight

so i saw the dark knight the other day.
it was FANTASTIC
like the best movie ever. well... not ever. i still think Anastasia is better. (did i tell you i got Anastasia on DVD for christmas?!!) no... dark knight is better than that.
sorry Anastasia.
and Heath Ledger is like SOOO good as the Joker. kinda really creepy. loves it when he dresses like the nurse.
he'd better get an Oscar. was he only supporting actor though? because Batman is the lead?
are the Oscar nominations out yet? i don't think so... there's just buzzzz

one question::: why in god's name it batman talk like that?!! wtf! it was distracting.


my point exactly.

NEW MOON

STEPHANIE MEYER
book after Twilight.
so i don't know if i'll ever love these books. i'm starting to think it's just how she writes. which is fine, lots of people love the Saga, and i do enjoy it, but i don't love them.
it was real addicting though, kinda.
this book is more about Jacob Black and his family and stuff. Warning: Edward isn't in this one very much.
that movie is going to not be good.
So yeah, New Moon is good, but it's not great. neither was Twilight. idk. i'm like number 81 (checked yesterday) in line for Eclipse, so it'll be a while. but just like last week i was 98. so it's movin' fast i guess.
i think i liked this more than Twilight though. Sister liked Twilight better.
and it changed my mind about Jacob. before i thought he was SO annoying and i was totally Team Edward, but now i really like jake. idk what team i am now! he seems nice. nicer than edward for causing bella all these issues.

robert pattinson cut his hair



is the world prepaired?

i think i can hear preteen girls all over the universe crying.

they'll get over it, he's still hot.

EVERLOST

NEAL SHUSTERMAN
another book by mr. shusterman. he's good. but i started reading a different book by him and i didn't like it so i stopped, which i NEVER do, but i did it. uh oh.
Everlost is about lost souls, who like don't make it to heaven, so they're stuck on earth as ghosts kinda...
and there's the scary like all powerfull guy the McGill. and Mary Hightower, who's like the queen of Afterlights (the souls). oh yeah, they're all kids, because adults always know where they're going, so they don't get lost. (that's what neal says).
this book was actually very good. and it's not that long, but it seems long, idk why... because a lot of stuff happens? it's got a lot of story lines and stuff. but it's not confusing at all.

BIG BONED

MEG CABOT
third book in the Heather Wells series.
these books are sooooo goood i love them love them. this time heather finds her boss dead in his office chair where he has been shot in the head. poor bloke.
so then of course heather gets into the middle of things. even though cooper tells her not too. ohhh cooper. and omg the end! are you kidding me? gahhh it's good.
and gavin is there of course. he's the only reason i like these books, swear to god... well, no, they're funny too... but i think gavin's still kinda in love with heaher but then he starts making out with that girl...
hmmm...
anyway, yeah read it. is she writing more of these? i hope so

THE LOVELY BONES

ALICE SEBOLD
another classic american literature. wait, is it? idk, i thought it was famous but maybe it's not...
'sabout... Suzie who dies a horrible terrible death. so sad.
and then she's like in heaven and watches her family for like a lot of years. i kinda didn't like that... how it was like over such a long time.
but it was still very good
the guy who killed her is a creeeeep to like the 10th degree.

SCHOOL BOY HUMOR

CAMERA SHY BUT STILL A STAR - EP
i could not for the life of me find an album pic
this is like one of my new favorite bands ever
SO GOOOODDDDDDD
songs
CAMERA SHY my favy so far. really really good. good like vocal runs (?) idk. SBH reminds me a lot of Forever the Sickest Kids (they have the same producer too). just like their sound and stuff. plus they have some really good harmonies, nearly as good as Mayday Parade (seriously, did you notice that MP is like the BOSS of vocal harmonies? forealz!)
CHEATING MYSELF "uh oh uh oh he's still watching, and oh no oh no, she's undressing... him with her eyes" i really like this song, good keyboard parts. very FTSK i think.
EVERYONE WHO BREATHES more rock than the others (which seemed more punk/poppy). i really like when the higher pitched voice comes in (happens in the other songs too). the harmonies are great. the lead singer's name is Caleb, which is pretty close to Cable. lol...
REALIZE (Colbie Colait cover) better than the original. i love when "bands" (lol) do covers of popular songs on the radio. they're always better than the popular one. this one is really good, it's faster, louder, idk. just better than colbie's kinda cheesy version.

overall, VERY good new band. the EP was just released in november (they released an independent one in 2006 but you can't even FIND that anywhere...). they're kind of a mix of FTSK, maybe MP, and something else... can't put my finger on it... Motion City? idk...
you tell me!

MAE ((please read this or at least skim i love mae))

THE EVERGLOW
so i got like five of these songs a real long time ago and i recently got the complete album. and i got like 10 songs for $5. what a deal!!!
PROLOG. scary. it's like this lady talking and welcoming you to the cd. it's crazy.
WE'RE SO FAR AWAY. sad. i think. it's the piano one that i like so much. and it reminds me of camp for some reason. made me sad after camp. good way to start the cd too.
oh. and remember that most of the songs fade into the next one. except like on the last half... that's weird.
SOMEONE ELSE'S ARMS. this is like... louder? rockier? idk. i love it
SUSPENSION. probably still mah favorite on the album. SO GOOD.
THIS IS THE COUNTDOWN. not in my top, but still very very good. hell... all of them are good.
PAINLESS. it's hard to describe this... deff more rock but only kinda. sounds good.
THE OCEAN. this is like my current obsession song. sinse it changes all the time. i love this song, great chorus, great verse.
BREAKDOWN not one of my favorites but it's still kinda catchy
MISTAKES WE KNEW WE WERE MAKING one of the best. soo good. except for that weird last minute with like the repeating part about the list. but it's still so good and the lyrics are really good.
COVER ME starts kinda creepy. idk. like it's a weird voice thing. but it's then one of my new favs. i think... yeah, i like it
THE EVERGLOW. another new favy. soo good. "i think that we've got what it takes, to get this heart to start beating again." idk, great.
READY AND WAITING TO FALL. agian not a favy but it's just okay
ANYTHING. sister's favy. it's real good, i gotta give her that.
THE SUN AND THE MOON. so long! it's like 8 minutes, i can't listen to the whole thing ever. it's mostly instrumental too.
EPILOGUE. creepy. just scary. gosh...
i've been working on this for almost 2 months. yikes. didya read it?

wrestling

just got back from a big-ole wrestling meet
i don't get wrestling, i think it's scary and i bit pointless
plus, it looks like me and my sister fighting over the remote. there's like no specific things to do! i just don't get it!
and then this guy was yelling "eraser!" and of course i had no idea what that meant...
so i yelled "pencil!"
and then magazine, white out, stapler, stuff like that
other intimidating office supplies.

oh, and SOMEONE'S brother has ABS.
lol

p.s. not mine, i don't have one, but the SOMEONE just sounds like i'm really saying MYMYMYMY. you know?

i need to go to bed now...

what i'm going to do when i grow up

i still have no idea
but i'm thinking of a lot of things that sound like fun.
first off, the most obvious, probably the one i want to do most because it makes the most sense to me::

a catcher in the rye
(you know, to catch the kids as they run through the rye feild so they don't run off the edge of the cliff)
(you know, like Holden)
plausible?

OR a film major in college just like Gavin McGoren because i love that kid and they probably have crazy parties. i'm gonna be just like him. except without the goateeeee (sp?)

OR an english major like Suzie's mom in the lovely bones. idk how that will ever help me get a real job ever, because i'm NOT going to teach... but i'd get to read my way through college...

thoughts?
COMMENT QUESTION: what do you want to do when you grow up?

top chef .... 5?

is it season five already?
who knows...
so i'm kinda watching but not really.
and i saw the first episode (the beginning) and i picked Patrick to win just because he was the first boy i saw that talked kinda gay. i hope he was... but idk. there was a lesbian and gay boy and they formed "team rainbow". maybe patrick's not gay....

but it doesn't matter because Patrick had to pack his knives in that very first episode!

i'm losing my ability to pick winners now!
it's all from my defeat on ANTM11 when McKey won instead of Analeigh. i hate that girl, i hate her with all my being!

on it's way

so i know i haven't been doing this a lot, and i have a lot of stuff to write about
i'm tryin!

books:
the lovely bones
big boned

albums from:
mae (i've been working on this for like a month, it's real hard and it's soo long, but it's a great album, so i'm doing it. i think)
all time low (so good)
jack's mannequin (so good too)

all the albums are freakin good ones, so i'll have to write about them sometime
i think i got too many at the same time. and i read too fast.

so yeah, stay tuned
