Bit of a change. Saw Kick Ass today in theatre.

Superbad meets Quentin Tarantino meets Watchmen.

- really liked this movie! funny, interesting characters

- the violence reminds me of Watchmen or Kill Bill. It's really gorey, but it's stylized so that's pretty cool. I'm okay with stylized gore, not real gore though like Saw or something lol

- MINDY/HIT GIRL IS MY FAAAAAAVOURITE CHARACTERRRRRRR. SHE IS JUST SO AWESOME WTF I WISH I WAS HIT GIRL WHILE WATCHING THE MOVIE. hee-yeah kung fu shootin'/chopping heads and arms and legs off!

- overall: had a good laugh in theatre. Covered eyes at some points BUT now I'm wishing I didn't cos it's so awesome. Will probably watch this again!

Edit:

Being John Malkovich

- Don't watch this at 2am, it will screw your brain over lol

- Really neat I gueeeeeessss. Charlie Kaufman is pretty much insane (in a good way). Adaptation. was weird but good. This is WEIRDER and... I don't know about the gooder, but it was good. I don't know. What a strange movie.

- I have a thing for celebrity cameos

- DVD is scratched, so it skipped a lot ... and during the sex scene it froze and then skipped 2 seconds and froze....d'uhhhhhh. :(

This pretty pink tree in my backyard (I'm not sure what it is lol) bloomed! And so are the tulips in my front yard! Taking photos soon since it might be the last time.

Right now the mood in the house is not so happy. We are moving again and that's never a nice thing. I will miss my bedroom and the light, my backyard and all our different plants, the pretty pink tree (that I'm not sure what it is. It's not cherry blossoms... I don't think), the tulips, the library (!!!) and the nice houses down the street that I like to look at when we drive pass. I think with time, we will always find nice things about the house we live in. So hopefully wherever I move, after some time, I will grow to like it too, just as I like this house. Home is where your family, food, things, furniture, bed, clothes is. Home is wherever you call it home. Home is where the heart is!

Previous post I was looking for a movie I didn't like. Found it.

- I didn't like this movie.

- Effects were cool. Watched this at home, so it's probably cooler in theatres. Visually, the Pandora world and the blue people looked reeeally realistic and stuff, but the storyline, characters, acting etc were not realistic enough.

- This is going into my "seen it now let's move on" movie vault. I HATH JOINED THA BANDWAGON, NEXT!

Tonight:

edit at 2:24am:

Just finished the movie. I like to check IMDB or wikipedia after watching a movie to read about the plot (if I didn't understand the movie lol), actors, actresses, music, etc. AND I THINK, THIS MAY BE THE BEST THREAD/DISCUSSION ON IMDB I HAVE EVER READ.

I like this movie a lot too. A bit confusing but I like the part about how everything is different but its also the same. I like the part with the polaroid picture and Albert realizing that humans are the same but different in circumstances.

I should start disliking movies or find different words other than 'good', cos I just read my previous posts and I just think all the movies I've watched is good or REALLY good or I REALLY liked it.

It's also 2:30am.

How about 'spiffy'? This movie was rather spiffy.

Sometimes you know when a movie is predictable and the ending is happy, and you just can't help but want to watch it. BUT REALLY, WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH THAT? It's nice to watch a predictable movie, cos then there are no shock values and you feel all content that it ended the way you want, and not some twists and surprise endings.

Anyway last night I had a really sore throat and couldn't sleep. So at 1am, I watched:

Miss Pettigrew lives for a day!

- great swing music: check

- amy adams. awesome actress (liked her lots in junebug too!): check

- lee pace lookin' hot: check

- awesome 1930s costumes: check

- frances mcdormand: "IF I WANT TO SMOKE A CIGAR I'LL DAMNED WELL SMOKE A CIGAR"... check?

- good comedy, had some laughs at 1am. really light-hearted and whimsical movie!

Wednesday (April 21): Dan in Real Life

- Cheesy but I really liked it!

- Sondre Lerche ye ye ye

- Watched this with Carmen!

Yesterday went like this: Picked up Pride and Prejudice DVD Went to work at 3pm - 10pm Came home at 11pm Momma made noodles with spicy soya sauce. I requested it to be spicier than the last time she made it, and she did... like a lot. I think secretly in the kitchen she was like, "SO JENNIFER WANTS IT SPICY HUH!?" *DUMP HOT PEPPERS IN SAUCE* My lips was on fire. It was soo good though. I love momma's food. Watched all two volumes of Pride and Prejudice. 300 minutes. ALL 300 MINUTES. Slept at 5:30am Comparisons to the 2005: This one beats it hands down The 2005 had better ~visual effects though (obviously) Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet > Keira Knightley (I'm being biased though lol) I think any guy who plays Mr Darcy is automatically hot so lol NO COMPARISONS THERE WITH ACTORS Also a new favourite character: Mr Claude Bennett/Elizabeth's dad

Hey lady who sold me that movie ticket a few years ago. Remember when I wanted to watch a 14A movie (the Grudge. lol worst mistake ever) and you asked for my ID? WELL GUESS WHAT, I'M WATCHING THIS TONIGHT:

R RAAAAAAAAAATED. YEAAAAH. I'm a badass.

Edit:

Question: do you sleep?

Answer: Sometimes.

The movie was weird, but really good. Some points:

- Took out this movie cos of the awards it won/ratings it got/also the back of the DVD says "comedy/drama". Not much comedy (well there are some), but just mostly drama

- Good drama though. The whole movie hooked me in and the ending was just so good. Real, too, I guess. As real and "normal" as this whole movie can get

And this movie is officially my 12th movie that I've watched since my last exam ended. Yup.

Walk the Line

Some thoughts on the movie. - REALLY AWESOME - "Hurt" by Johnny Cash makes a lot more sense now - Great music. The earlier days of Johnny-as-a-pill-poppin'-rockstar touring (Oh hey Elvis! Had to check IMDB to see if he was really in the movie lol), and duets with June made me smile (not the pill popping) - Wish they didn't make Johnny's first wife look so bad though. I know the focus of the story is on the relationship between June and Johnny, but still. It's about perspectives yo - Also, movie poster is awesome:

And now I will go on youtube and look up performances and music and stuff. lol maybe a Johnny Cash tribute post soon. WHO KNOWS, BUT MY PRIDE AND PREJUDICE DVD IS READY FOR PICKUP AT THE LIBRARY. Edit: The scene with June Carter Cash singing at an music award by herself, with an autoharp reminded me of the Basia Bulat concert I went to. Except it was at a church, and the audience was much smaller, and Basia isn't as well known. I think a lot of the ~indie~ music we listen to now, like Mason Jennings, M. Ward, Basia Bulat, She & Him, kinda reminds me of that era. Except different audience, different stage, different kinds of popularity. Just a thought.

Sisters playing clapping games,

the light in my room when the sun is setting, paper, hand painted signs, my grandma's silver white hair, autumn gold leaves falling everywhere, poutine nights on Thursday with Anita, These are a few of my favourite things!

Sushi, bus rides, and some joe fresh shoppin' with my sista from a different mista, Anita, today. She just showed me via email the pdf resume/application for a kick-ass summer job she's applying for. I hope she gets it cos her application is pretty kick ass too!

And the movie I'm watching tonight? I don't even think I'm allowed to give it bad ratings or anything, because it is THE MOST ADORED CLASSIC.

After tonight, I will finally know what this female deer song is all about. EDIT: MY FUTURE CHILDREN ARE WATCHING THIS. IT IS OBLIGATORY.

It was love at first google

Lemon poppy seed muffins

Last week I had a bake sale at school to help fundraise for my volunteer trip to New Orleans in May, and my friend Aya helped me baked a batch of lemon poppy seed muffins. They were so lemony and so good! I found a recipe and decided to make some on my own. I am going to give this recipe 3.5/5. It wasn't lemony enough but the glaze is awesome. Probably the highlight of the muffcakes (smaller than a muffin, bigger than a cupcake). I read a comment that someone upped the lemon zest, yogurt, and extract to make it more lemony and moist (d'oh!). I will do that next time. Also I used corn oil instead of vegetable oil, so that's probably why it tasted a little bit off.

Lemon zest smells SO GOOD.

Proof that the glaze is good. Here is my little sister Jaime slobbering all over it.

In Six Words

I will describe the movies I've watched last week in six words. April 2 - In the Mood for Love Graphic designer turned into filmmaker, huh. April 4 - About a Boy Awesome soundtrack with Badly Drawn Boy. April 5 - The Darjeeling Limited Dysfunctional siblings on spiritual journey. India. April ? - 3:10 to Yuma Badass cowboys bam bam bam Bale. Tonight:

Spring cleaning + MR DARCY

This is my list so far. It gets updated as I find random DVDs in the library shelves or when I find something on the interweb (IMDB/apple trailers). Tonight I watched Pride and Prejudice (2005) with Keira Knightly and Matthew Macfadyen. I AM IN LOVE WITH MR DARCY. Hoooly smokes. I've never really like Keira (annoying lip pursing, etc), and have never heard of Matthew. During the movie, I was thinking "if I looked up the actor who plays Mr Darcy... I would be slightly disappointed..." and I was. BUT MR DARCY IS STILL AWESOME. Rating? I don't even know. I guess 10/10 but that would just be me rating Mr Darcy. Am requesting the 1995 version with Colin Firth. IT'S A TV SERIES. COLIN FIRTH. MR DARCY IN MULTIPLE EPISODES. Woooo heart attack! But all 8 copies of the DVDs are out/on hold. I guess I'm not the only one who needs a dosage of Mr Darcy in my life. In other news. I decided to clean out my closet today because all the clothes are dumped on the ground and I can no longer see the floor. I got carried away and thought I should organize my clothes by categories! I got really carried away.

The idea was that the words in 'pajamas' would come in pairs. But I realized as I was sorting my pajamas that none of them come in pairs anymore... I would lose the shirt over the years, or I would just wear the pants but not the top. Developed them furtha in computer:

Not much cleaning was done, but fun was had by alllll. P.S. I do not own pregnant ladiez pants.
