Today, tomorrow, next week, next year

I'm posting because I just can't get into the book I'm currently reading; Richelle Mead, Shadow Kiss. It's not your fault Richelle, I'm at work and it's noisy (surprizingly), and I can't focus.

Anywho, I really should be calling people for shelf holds, but I'm just lazy and want to sit here and go on the computer and talk to Stefan. (HEY!!!!!!!! I know you're reading! Don't deny it!)

Yesterday, I can honestly say was the laziest day of my life. I got up around 11:30 am (yes, I missed school because I didn't get to bed until 4 am.), and then I just watched movies, and looked at Twilight reviews for the rest of the day.

In case you were wondering, I watched 21, and Leatherheads (with sigh, George Clooney). They were pretty good. Nothing epic...but good nonetheless.

I'm planning on watching What Happens In Vegas (yeah I didn't watch it the other day). That should be good. My hermano told me it sucked, but what does he know?? I like basically anything. I'm easy to please I guess you could say.

I think I'm going to go to lunch now. Hunger's kicking in.

My Review

I'm sure you're all dying to hear my review of the largely anticipated movie: Twilight.

I would give Twilight 3 out of 5 stars. I'm in the middle with this movie. I know everyone has preconceived ideas on how the movie should have been...blah blah blah, but I mean, I did like it.

I do think, however that the directors/producers and whatnot did a great portrayal of the romance between Bella and Edward.

A lot of the parts we're very funny. Little comments that Edward made; funny, cute, sweet.

Although, I just could not get past the facial expressions of some of the actors (cough Robert Pattinson cough) did. Wait. Who said that??

I found my self laughing at some of the most serious parts of the movie. "Omg, Holland. Did you just see his face???"

Don't get me wrong. Robert Pattinson is beautiful. A lot of the moments of him and Bella together made me jealous of course.

The facial expressions just didn't work for me.

And to tell the truth, at one point I was thinking..."Umm...I'm kinda bored." (and I felt bad thinking that because I had been waiting a long time to see it...I shouldn't have been bored!!!)

At the end of the movie, there was clapping..but it wasn't the hooting and hollering that I expected and heard at the beginning of the movie. Everyone just got up and

All in all, I thought it was pretty good. Everyone again, has their own ideas of what the movie should have been like because each and everyone of us imagines books in different ways. Edward in my mind didn't do so many facial expressions...idk.

Anyways, those are my thoughts, not yours.

I do recommend seeing it though. It's got romance, adventure, mystery. A great combo.

Procrastination

Procrastination is a very addictive, horrible thing.

I'm sitting on my laptop, thinking, 'I definitely should be doing Pre-Calc right now and studying so I don't fail my test tomorrow.'

I really should. But, lets see, it's 6 o'clock now...I'm going to be eating dinner in approximately 15 minutes, I will eat for approximately 15 minutes; that gets me to 6:30. Then I will jump in the shower, for approximately 10 minutes or less (I can take a fast shower), which brings me to 6:40 (give or take a few minutes).

SO which brings me to about 1 hour and 20 minutes to study pre-calc, AND have enough time to watch a movie, preferably What Happens In Vegas for 2 hours and then, in bed by 10:20, 10:30.

I have time, right??

Hopefully.....

Depressing

I went shopping today, armed with a $50 gift card to Target (thanks again Holland!) and came home with a new super red purse (love it!) and a little something we don't like to call, depression.

I 'tried' on clothes, and nothing looked good. I was SO mad when i got home, that i ran downstairs and worked out for an hour. I feel like crap (well now i don't cause i just got home from a 30 min walk) about myself. I don't feel 100% and i should.

I have been eating good though. Except for some pop and a little bag of Famous Amos cookies....oh and some of a cinnabun.

But still, the point is, i want to feel better about myself, and that can't be accomplished with me sitting around all day, eating cookies, and drinking pop.

I vow to eat better, work out regularly, and try to gain more confidence in myself.

ps. it is freakin' cold out. it's rainy and freezing. like i said, i just got home from a walk, and i thought my ears were going to fall off. Really, really.

Creativeness

I'm sitting at work at the moment.

And my creative juices are flowing.

And I want to write, but I can't because what I was writing yesterday is on my laptop AT HOME.

SO, I have to sit here for another 2 hours until I get to go home for the day.

Today was not very productive. Lets see. I came to work early in the morning. I discharged books, wrote down holds. Then my co-worker Erica wanted me to stamp millions of books (okay, not millions, but there were a lot and it took me like 4 hours to finish them with interruptions. Now, I'm sitting here. My back hurts, my feet hurts, i'm hot.

I just wanna go home.

I don't even know

I don't know what to blog about today.

Maybe i'll just blog whatever comes to mind.

....

I don't even know.

Maybe i'll talk about the book(s) that I am reading at the moment. Yeah, I know it's terrible, but i'm currently in the process of reading 3 books. They're good ones though....

I'm reading Glass Houses by Rachel Caine (i think), Fancyfree and Footloose (i think that's what it's called by some author i don't remember either), and a Charmed book by some author. Hah...wow, I have a crappy memory.

I read one during school, the other during work, and i actually haven't cracked open the other for weeks. I put it in my living room a while ago, and now there's a nice coating of dust on the cover. That's probably not a good sign. I hate starting books and never finishing them though. It makes me feel, like, not a failure, but i don't know..incomplete?? I'll NEVER know what happend in the end unless i start reading it again later.

For instance, for the book club at school, we had to read Jodi Picoult My Sister's Keeper, and i felt soooo bad because i just COULD NOT for the life of me get into the book and read it..(sorry Jodi!). Realistic fiction about a girl with lukemia just isn't my kind of reading. Anways, i couldn't finish the book, so i ended up skipping to the last few chapters (or pages cause the chapters were really short) and the end was so sad and horrible.

So yes, i hate not finishing books, because i'll probably miss something really good in the end.

Quick change of subject, the Piston's are playing tonight. I think against the Denver Nuggets.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY TRADED BILLUPS AND MCDYESS FOR ALLEN IVERSON. I'm sorry, but A.I. is a little drama queen; always falling all over the court, trying to draw fouls. It's rediculous. But i better start liking him because he's here to stay for a while.

I just won't be happy about it........

Well games starting!!
