Die hard genius...

I went to see Live Free or Die Hard this weekend. I have to confess that I'm not a die hard Die Hard fan, but I really enjoyed the movie. For one, Bruce Willis is hot for an older guy. Two, there's that cute little Justin Long who's hot for a young guy. (I think that Adam Brody would've been a good cast for that part, too, by the way. A little nerdy, a little cute). Anyhow, it was suspenseful and keeping with the times and all that could happen in the "everything computer" age. It was interesting. I have to say, though, poor Bruce took a beating in this movie. I don't think he had to act very much to portray the pain his character felt. And having a "fail safe" for financial records downloaded to one gigantic server seems like something our government would do. Can you say FEMA? I'm pretty computer smart, but it always amazes me how these people, and I know there are really people out there that can do these things, just start typing on a black screen and manage to make the American economy come to a screeching halt. I love the witty banter in the movie, McClain's a bad ass with a sense of humor AND a daughter just like him. I know I'm bouncing all over the place and if you haven't seen the movie you have no idea what I'm talking about. So, go watch the movie.

I actually have more to write about, so stay tuned to find out about the jungle that is my lawn, Dottie and her boyfriend, and Rylie the little Monopoly genius.

I saw the following quote on my friend, Nick's, MySpace page. It made me laugh out loud. Ahh, the things that amuse me!

Conductor on PA: Excuse me, ma'am, maybe it would work better if you went to the next door -- it's less crowded. [Lady walks to next door, but before she gets there the conductor closes them.] Haha, bitch! Toot, toot!

High school musical...

Ok... What the hell happened to my high school?! I graduate, and a couple years later they build a new band hall. I learn they've added piano classes and a new synergy program that combines drama and music. A few years after that I see a notice for a production of Grease, the musical. They had pretty decent props and costumes, wireless mics. This year they have a production of Beauty and the Beast, complete with elaborate costumes and really nice stage props. I ask you, where was all this 12-14 years ago?! Yeah, I was a band and drama geek. I'll admit it. I may not have been very good, but I'm mad that I didn't get to play Mrs. Potts! They all did a great job, though.

Spiderman 3. Good movie, long, pee first, get there early, don't sit close to the screen.

Desperate Housewives. If some stupid little rent-a-cop called me a spoiled bitch (even if I was) I'd kick him in the shin, too.

Brothers & Sisters. Boy, that family can drink.

Happy Bunny says.... I had a dream, and in it, something eats you.

Meathead #1: Yeah, I definitely think I should go to the interview hung over.
Meathead #2: Why's that?
Meathead #1: You know, so I'm more charming and likable.
Both meatheads: Definitely!

The slightly bizarre ramblings of a 20-something living in rural Texas. Dashed with humor, anecdotes of her pets and family, attempts at staving off boredom, you'll wonder how you've been living without this riveting analysis of what is "small town life."

Most of the time I'm a laid-back chick; fun-loving, caring, loyal. I'm also stubborn, hard-headed and bitchy sometimes. But, I'm mostly loveable!

I've heard a couple of things over the years that have made me feel vindicated in my not so successful quest for the perfect body. I read a news article covering a dog that attacked a young woman, who happened to be overweight. The dog went for the throat and would have killed its victim save for the fact that she was nicely padded with extra poundage. Therefore, I have decided that I am fat to protect myself against freak accidents such as these. I then came across the statement, "We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads." So I then decided that I'm not really fat, I'm just extraordinarily intelligent and my head couldn't hold anymore information so it started to fill up the rest of me! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
