it's been a loooonnnng time! (AGAIN)

so i'm back from this very long hiatus. it's not that i went anywhere but since it is summer and mostly beautiful weather, i have been out and about doing stuff. nothing big just different things here and there like continuing to go to the movies and spending a lot of time with my friends and family (including all the little nieces and nephews who are getting bigger and bigger everyday!) out at camp. i've also been working A LOT at the library!!! i worked everyday the week before last and i worked every day but tuesday last week.

some of the movies that i've gone to see since my last post are LICENSE TO WED, I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY, HAIRSPRAY, and NO RESERVATIONS. oh, yeah and did i mention that i have seen TRANSFORMERS three more times since my last post and i think i will be going again tonight. i just love that movie. the last time my friend sarah and i went to see it she said to me "i can't believe that we are not sick of this movie" i was like "NEVER!!!" but tonight we have a purpose in seeing it. i recently realized that on imdb, there is a "goofs" page for every movie. it is just what it sounds like- mistakes that have been made in the making and/or editting of movies. sarah found one mistake before even looking at the goofs page for transformers- in one scene, SHIA LABEOUF is holding his sweatshirt in his hand and then he is wearing it and then not wearing it and then wearing it again. that was a pretty obvious editting error but it's funny. and then there is another point in the movie where you hear SHIA say something but you see him mouthing something totally different. here's the link if you want to check out all the TRANSFORMERS GOOFS.

ok, on the other movies i saw- i give LICENSE TO WED two thumbs down- it sounded cute but it was so dumb; I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU CHUCK AND LARRY two thumbs way up (go see this movie- it is a riot!!!!), HAIRSPRAY was good, not great but good- it was cute; and NO RESERVATIONS was a really good movie- very sweet!

something that random that i want to let people know about if you already haven't heard of it is PETFINDER.COM. this is a website where you can find animals all over the U.S. that need to be adopted and brought into a good home. you can search the area around where you live, what kind of animal you want (dog, cat, horse, etc.), breed of the animal, and age, size, sex of the animal. i was looking at some dogs this morning even though i already have a family dog and i wouldn't be able to get a dog of my own until i get my own place. anyways, there are so many adorable animals in shelters that need a family to love and to love them back. right now i can't help any of these pets but if you are looking for an pet, take a look around this website- there are so many loving animals.

next up, THE TWO COREYS premiered sunday night on A&E. it is insane. it is the new reality show starring the 80's heartthrobs COREY HAIM and COREY FELDMAN (and feldman's wife, susie). the concept is that haim moves in with the feldmans and the chaos goes on from there. the new show comes out during the 20th anniversary of the movie that started the phenomenon of the two coreys: THE LOST BOYS. and did you hear that warner brothers is making a sequel now after 20 years and neither of the coreys are gonna star or even appear in it. how horrible is that?!!! here is a clip from the show that relates to this- kinda sad :(

this is a pretty sad scene from the show but it is also funny at times- it has to be with corey haim :) if you want to see more of the show just type in "the two coreys" on youtube and watch THE TWO COREYS on A&E sunday nights at 10:00 and 10:30. enjoy! i know i will :)

i guess that is all for now folks. thanks for reading, thanks for caring!!

a little bit of AWESOMENESS!!!

first and foremost, i went to see the must-see movie of the summer friday night. you guys know which one i'm talking about- TRANSFORMERS!!! it was incredible! i have to say now that it is def one of my favorites. i knew it was gonna be good but i wasn't expecting anything near that good. does that make sense? anyways, it is a little long but def keeps you interested. you wouldn't think, but it was hilarious too. SHIA LABEOUF and the robots had me laughing so hard. the whole theater was just cracking up. my friend and i went to a late showing of it and the theater was still packed. the ushers even had to ask people to move down so everyone could fit in. crazy huh?!! i loved it though cause there was so much energy. it was funny, cause when the credits started rolling, everyone in the theater started clapping cause they loved it. now that is the optimal movie theater experience :) so anyways, i am def giving that one a two thumbs way up!!! i am probably even gonna go see it with someone else this week or next even though she has already seen it too- she thought it was awesome too :)

anyways, the next awesome news (atleast for me) is that i got a new phone and i love it. i was playing with my friend, jocelyn's phone last week and i fell in love with it. here is a pic of it:
jocelyn has the red one and i got the blue one. i love it!!! it is so much fun to play around with. some of the specs: music player (which at this point doesn't work but i am going back and getting that fixed tomorrow), the best camera i've ever seen on a phone, speakerphone, fun sounds and lots of other options :) i can't wait to get music on the phone. the problem i'm having with that is not with the phone- it is with the memory card that i bought separately from the phone. anyways, i'm going to get that worked out tomorrow afternoon and i really hope that i don't have to buy anything else to make it work. i shouldn't i don't think.

you know what i just realized that i do when i am writing on my blog- i think out loud and then my fingers type those thoughts. anything that comes to mind just comes out on my computer. well, i guess that is what a blog is for, right?

another fun thing that happened this weekend was that i saw one of our local college basketball players at the movie theaters the other night. it is rare to see the su basketball players- atleast for me it is. i have never seen them out and about when i've been. wonder what movie he saw? he wasn't in the theater that we were in.

onto movies again- two that just came out in theaters this past week are RESCUE DAWN with CHRISTIAN BALE and STEVE ZAHN and LICENSE TO WED with MANDY MOORE and ROBIN WILLIAMS.

i guess that is all for tonight. gotta get my beauty sleep lol! sweet dreams everyone and have a great tuesday :)

EXCITEMENT, EXCITEMENT!!

well, a long awaited movie arrives in theaters tomorrow. which one you ask- TRANSFORMERS of course :) not gonna get a chance to go see it tomorrow but hopefully sometime this week or over the weekend. i watched the making of transformers on hbo the other night and it looked like a lot of intense stunts and other stuff went into making the movie. here is a small clip of the making of...

man i can't wait to see it!!!!!!!

also in other movie news- CHRISTIAN BALE is gonna be in another movie- it's called RESCUE DAWN. ok, has anyone seen THE MACHINIST? the reason i ask is because he lost a deadly amount of weight to play the role in that movie. from pics that i have seen from rescue dawn, he looks like he lost a lot of weight again to play this part in this movie- not quite as much as in the machinist but enough to make him look sick. here is a pic of him from the new movie.
just looking at his fce you can tell he lost a lot of weight. it is horrible what some people will do to play parts in movies or tv shows. it does sound like it could be a good movie though. i would also like to mention that STEVE ZAHN is gonna be in it as well. the thing is though, i can't see him playing a serious role and i am assuming that he is in this one cause it seems to be a pretty serious movie. i don't know!!!

also i am really excited about the fourth of july. besides xmas, the fourth is my favorite holiday. summer, camp, BBQs, boat rides, fireworks, campfires, family, friends.... what's not to love?!!! i hate how it is in the middle of the week this year though, but we are of course making the best of it. we went out to camp both days this weekend, had a fire and just sat out there talking for hours last night. there were fireworks last night but it was too cold to go out on the lake to watch them from the boat so we just made a fire and still had a grand ol' time :) there are fireworks tomorrow night down the lake a little ways, so we plan on going on the boat to see those assuming the weather cooperates. it is funny cause i had some high expectations for this 4th of july cause the past two years have been insanely crazy with just some stupid, funny stuff happening. for example, last year, there have been three of my brother's friends that i have liked or currently like and they all showed up at my camp last year. one of which, i didn't even know still hung out with my brother cause i hadn't seen him in like a year. just silly stuff like that. this year the only thing that has happened was that my brother and brother-in-law got into an argument while we were at camp yesterday and my brother-in-law took off. also, P came out to camp yesterday so i spent a lot of time chit-chatting with him too. i saw him hold my new niece for the first time yesterday and it was so adorable. he is just so great with all the kids!!! they all love him to pieces and i love that they do :)

anywho, it is getting late now, but like always i will alert the blog world of any new and exciting movies or events coming soon or just goofy things that have been going on here in my life.
