We went and saw Taken on Friday night....i was so needing to get out of the house because i had been here sick for four days! If you like actiony movies it was pretty good, but again i say, it would be okay to wait for it to come out on video. I'm sure we will buy it when it comes out though. Anyway.....the best part of the movie was the old guy that was sitting next to us. He was from a really small Oklahoma town, you could tell because he talked really loud before the movie.....he was also on a first or second date! So during the movie he was really loud and made lots of very loud comments....the one that had me cracking up was "HE'S GONNA DRY HER UP" (said in a VERY Oklahoma accent) ....i couldn't stop laughing. I won't tell you what he was refering to, i'll just let you come up with your own ideas!

So it helps that people are getting into blogging, either again or just starting. I like to blog and there are often times i think....i should blog that and i forget or just never do. But now that more people are doing it again, i'm getting better. I did notice today that i have blogged a lot about school lately so i hope i don't complete bore you!!

Recently...Cody hooked up our computer to our new TV. I can honestly say it is super cool. First...we can watch programs on Hulu.com. If you haven't been to that site i highly recommend it. It has lots of movies and TV shows that you can watch for free...with very little to no commercials!

Last night we went as saw Inkheart....the movie i blogged about a few post ago. It was pretty good! I suggest you watch the movie before you read the book...the movie won't be as disappointing then. Most of the movie was really good...then it got to the end and it they changed some things that weren't bad but weren't as good as the book! I do recommend seeing it!

But the movie i HIGHLY recommend seeing is Slumdog Millionaire. Cody went in telling me it was a feel good movie....about half way through i turned to him and was like "what is so feel good about this movie" :) It did get more feel good towards the end but i truly think it was the best of the year! At least the ones i've seen!

So this morning i woke up and threw up a couple of times...called some work friends and stayed home! I think it was a migraine....my head was killing me too! I know everyone wanted to know this information.

So Theresa turned me on to a German book series called Inkheart. I'm almost finished with the book....i suggest everyone read it. Anyway...they are coming out with a movie and i can't wait to see it. Even without reading the book it looks good! Here is the trailer! It comes out on the 23rd!

The weekend....

This weekend was a movie weekend...we went on Friday night and saw the dark knight (again, we love it)...we went on Saturday night with Theresa and Steve and saw Step Brothers, it was pretty funny! And then on Sunday we went to see Hellboy 2, i like this too. Really, there aren't to many movies that i don't like..hehe!



I have 7 more days of work here in this office...and about 2.5 hours of sick leave that i will have to use of lose...which means i have about 4.5 days of work for the DDS....woohoo!

This coming weekend...

We are having a party....we have an entire keg that hasn't been touch and we need some help...also, why not celebrate a new job! And it makes me clean the house!

Has anyone heard the new flight of the conchords CD? It is pretty funny...they have taken theirs songs and changed them up....so what you are used to singing at the top of your voice isn't quite the same....but you are able to make out the lyrics better...and lets face it....flight of the conchords lyrics are the best!

Movies

I forgot to mention some of the movies we have seen lately. The best by far was Juno...i seriously believe it is my new favorite movie for the moment. And i love the soundtrack. Horrible singing but just fun :)

We also have seen 27 dresses, National Treasure and No Country for Old Men. Let me tell you that No Country for Old Men was one of the most distrubing, creepy movies that i have seen in a long time (maybe ever). Its not bad, as a matter of fact Cody really liked it, but i will never see it again. I think my main problem with is was that it has such a feeling like that could actually happen. The killer didn't have an agenda on who he was going to kill, it was just if he said he would or if he won the coin toss. There is no tension release through out the movie either (a least not for me)...movies like this really bother me...but if it doesn't bother you, you might want to see it! :)

Across the Universe

So Cindy, Whitney and I went this weekend and saw Across the Universe...for those of you who may not know, this is a musical about the vietnam war using all beatles songs...it was AWESOME! they did such a good job of not ruining the songs and of caputuring the emotional stress that that time provided...on all levels. There were some visual parts that had you trying not to blink because you weren't sure if you would miss something! One of my FAVORITE scenes: one of the characters had been drafted and he went for his physical with several other people. The song they were sing was I want you (She's so Heavy)...when they get to the end of the exam all of the men are singing the very dramatic "She's so Heavy" part of the song and carrying the statue of liberty. My gosh, it still give me chills! i wanted to get up and start clapping! but i didn't :)

I think everyone needs to go see this movie...there is an underlying love story in there too...just fyi!! :)

Garage Door Opener!! :)

Yeap...i've officially got my first garage door opener. This is exciting stuff for me!! :) So needless to say, i've been pretty busy! which is not unusual but it seems to be busier these days then usual. I think we are going to move some this weekend, but most of the big stuff we won't be moving until next weekend...so if anyone is free, there is pizza and beer involved! :) I go this morning after work and let the bug guy in to debug our house....and then i think i'm going to start moving my stuff out of whitneys!! :) Nothing like moving in 100 degree weather :)

last night lisa and i played at mickey mantels during their happy hour. thats a fun little gig. no one is really listening and there are tons of people there and we just pretty much get to have a open rehearsal! :) Oh yes, most of you probably got the e-mail about us trying to get to austin for austin city limits. so please vote, we have until monday. we are currently in the top 100 but we have to stay there. round 2 are judges, they will pick 20 of the top 100 and then those will get voted on again. if we get in the top 20 you will for sure be hearing from me again...probably several times! you can vote once a day...and i personally vote on all 5 of my e-mail address....and i know several other people that are doing that as well! Please Vote Here :)

we saw an awesome movie the other night...we decided to go to the movies the night before the house closing and we went to see stardust. its based on the young adult book by neil gaiman...it was so so good! its a love story but a good love story :)

i have become more nerdy. i know, i also thought that wasn't possible, but it has happened. we have started getting comic books...it all started for me when i found out they are continuing the buffy series through comic books picking up were the show left off! so now i'm in to all sorts of story lines....one i found the other day though was a vampire comic about a "slayer" called Anita Blake...well, come to find out it was based on a book series. So we went out and i bought the book and finished it yesterday and if you like vampire stories it was really good. cody likes to laugh at me because i like to read vampire things so much but we each have our things right.

Whats been happening! :)

So...its been a few days since i've really posted anything and a ton has happened...first...I think that the 5th harry potter movie was the best of the movies so far! Yes, it did leave things out...yes, it did change some things around but i think it got most of the points from the book across and did it much better than the other movies...my mother thinks it was somewhat dark but the whole 5th book is somewhat dark so what can you expect...i'm truly excited for Friday...the last book for the harry potter series (for now anyway :)....i've got my on reserve at Borders and we are planning on going to the ball :) we aren't actually going to dress up for the ball but whatever...we are making shirts :) which will give me something else to waste time doing today.

Lisa and I also played the Woody Gutherie festival this weekend....it was awesome...first the show was great, we had a really good set. Then, although, i'm new to the folk world, it is so much different....they are really laid back and cool and all these amazing musicians are walking around just chilling, talking music stuff...there is no feeling that even though you are not a headliner that you aren't important to music too...its was just great. the little town of okemah is prefect too...you have your couple of bars that are played at and a little theatre (they did most of the large shows there because of all the rain). As a musician you get kind of treated as royality...you get free food all weekend...you get special attention when you need something, but only if you have the badge on... :) Then although i didn't get to stay...all the musician then jam at all hours of the night in the motel parking lot...forming little groups and it just doesn't matter if you are a little know musician or a headlining one...everyone is pretty much just all about the music...it is extrememly awesome! :)

Then, lastly but for sure not leastly...cody put a offer on a house last night...its in the miller addition and its extremely cute...we should know probably later today if they will take the offer or counter offer...cody is A LOT nervous about it...but he has things in his favor...it is very exciting stuff...if all goes well he will be closing on the house Aug 15th. we will have a house warming party maybe around halloween :) hehe! :)

I am a NERD

but there are a lot more nerdy people than me...and a little bit on the insane side! Yes, i am going to see harry potter tonight at mid-night...with some equally nerdy family and friends...BUT i called to see what time would be good to come stand in line and was told that there were already 20 people in line...WTF....20 people already in line to see harry potter...i guess i'm not as die hard a fan as i thought...although i am really excited and am going to the mid-night showing! :)



anyway..on a more fun note...we had a girls fun trip floating yesterday...go to science vixens myspace blog to see the very accurate account of the trip....fun fun time...i recommend taking a bunch of friends and spending a day at the river...



also, lisa and i are back from dallas...it was awesome and fun show. our first road trip was successful! hooray...well, my car may never be the same again...okay so that an over exageration...the car will work again after i get new wheels and tires...yeap...more tire problems...custom wheels are a pain in the ass...just FYI! :)

i will fill you in tomorrow on the greatness of harry potter :)

I just can't do anymore work today...i don't have it in me! But alas, what do you do...well, i don't work...i also don't have a lot of new things to say either. It seems that i'm typing this blog because i'm bored because i'm not working but i can't do anymore work or i'm going to go out of my mind...which would not be good because i like my mind...well, most of the time!

The stringents played at galileos last night and that was really fun....well, kind of fun. I've been a little on the moody side lately so it wasn't as fun as it could have been or maybe was! man, i'm confusing in a making sense kind of way! hehe!

Anyway, i'm thinking some of us may go to the drive in movie this weekend....doesn't that sound like good times! it does to me...and its a triple feature for 5 dollas! Shrek 3, Spiderman 3 and something else....not sure what the third movie is though. Although i've already seen Spiderman 3 i'm good with seeing it again...i just need to make sure i take bug spray....i've already been eaten alive!

A movie that (if anyone still reads this) everyone needs to watch and is TRULY fucked up...its called Old Boy...its an asian film and although i should have expected the ending...you are so busy trying to figure everything else out that it suprises you...messed up i tell you. But should be check out!

Day number two in a row of writing a blog....nothing new since yesterday really though. Except today i am at work :( and my AC is fixed :)

I'm sick of looking at medical records so i'm writing this instead....

So some movies that i've recently seen....Friday night, Theresa, Steve, Cody and I watched Pans Laborynth....which was really good but nothing what i thought it was going to be. Then Cody and I watch Finding Neverland the other night....Holy shit....its freakin' flippin' sad! but good! Lets see, what else...we went and saw spiderman 3....i kind of liked it....there was a lot of drama and less build up of bad guys though....which i wasn't to happy with but whatever.

I started watching Carnivale yesterday....its an HBO series and it is messed up but good. Then there is heroes...i watched the first episode of that yesterday and i need the whole thing to come out on DVD....hooray!

Well, i guess thats about it for now...i'm excited about the SA trip....
