Twilight Time

So.
With the arrival of Stephenie Meyer's latest book, Breaking Dawn, at midnight tomorrow [for most places], I think I'm going to give you a little sneak peek.
At the movie.
I don't want to read nor give any spoilers for the book, so since the movie is to be released December 12th of this year, I figure with only five months less, we might as well get the ball rolling.
So grab your popcorn and have fun on YouTube.

Entertainment Tonight Exclusive Twilight Trailer [ETETT]

Scene from Twilight

Twilight Trailer - New Scene

Funny thing?
I'm actually starting to like Robert Pattinson as Edward more than Kristen Stewert as Bella.
How odd.

Criss Angel, you are forbidden to die.

Though it's a possibility.
As of 10:00 tonight, on the A&E Network.
I heard it on the radio today. So here's the bit copied from the radio station's website:
"CRISS ANGEL MIGHT DIE TONIGHT! AND IT MAY HAPPEN RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD...CLEARWATER!CLEARWATER, Fla. -- TV personality Criss Angel's next bizarre trick is to try to escape from a nine-story hotel building in Clearwater before it implodes on top of him. Angel will be shackled on a seventh-floor balcony of Clearwater's historic Spyglass Resort Wednesday night. He will have to escape from steel restraints and make it to a helicopter on the roof before the building collapses. The hotel is being taken down to make room for a large waterfront resort. Angel got permission to try to escape from the building just before dynamite reduces it to 4,500 pounds of rubble. The stunt will be broadcast live on "Criss Angel Mindfreak" at 10 p.m. on the A&E network."
From www.wjrr.com
So. The big illusionist could pull off one of the most amazing things ever....or die. Or both.
Do.
Not.
Die.
Can't die.
CRISS ANGEL CAN NOT DIE.

Fred - Who doesn't love a six-year-old with anger management problems? Well if you watch CNN as much as some, you may have seen an interview with the maker of this one. My personal favorite: Fred Goes To The Dentist. "AH! I'M BLEEDING!"

JKL Productions - Twins Jon and Katie, and their cousin Lucas [see above, creator of Fred] make up JKL Productions. Yes, they really DO mean to act badly. Personally, I say Lucas was a little on the bright side to take the Fred videos to a new channel, as Jon and Katie have done very little since he left. Get it together guys. Favorite video: TRAPPED!

Makemebad35 - Hmm. 20 year old dude with a severe case of insanity. Who else dresses up in a pink bathrobe, purple hat, sunglasses and carries a giant blow-up hammer, in an all-year Halloween costume, calling himself The Torturer? Favorite videos: omg HATERZ!!!! & Losing Complete Sanity. Go Damien. [*Cough* Bit of 'language'. Second video especially, little on the pg-13 side. You've been warned.]

The Black Year - 14-year-olds Sam Koster and Matt Santos, of the Australian band The Blaqk Year, have their share of random videos, parodies, and cover songs. From the "emo version of clumsy", to Panic At The Disco's Nine In The Afternoon, to a 'flashback' to some random memories, the two are by far entertaining. Favorite video: Sam Koster & Matt Santos - Memories. [*ahem* nice pants, Matt.]
NOTE: The 'Memories' video has been flagged. Meaning unless you're YouTube account says you're 18 or older, you can't view it. [Idiots. Whoever did that should be kicked off the site. Buzz kills.] I may have to send Sam a little message and have them re-upload it. We shall see.

Cadegoestocollege - And, ironically Cade really DOES go to college. And, he really wants you to know that even though he's from Texas, he doesn't listen to a lot of country and dance like a hillbilly. All hail Cade. Favorite video: Can't pick one.

Booshoe37 - Cade's friend Matt. Different Matt than Sam's friend Matt. Different Matt than Cade's other friend Matt who's not this Matt and not Sam's friend Matt. Too many Matt's on YouTube. He's awesome. Favorite videos: Cadegoestocollege TAKES OVER & The Problem Solving Circle.

So, I have a dilema.

Just a bit.
Confusion and Frustration in Modern Times. I swear.
Soo.
This may or may not the girliest thing you'll ever hear from me.
I haven't a clue what to do with my hair.
Argh.
Cut it short again, or let it grow.
Dye it black, or re-dye it purple.
Granted, I'll have to get certain people to agree to the second problem in the first place...but I'm sure that can be arranged, one way or another.
I believe my sister is going to try making her's orange with blonde hair dye. As her hair is excruciatingly dark brown, we're thinking that blonde may turn it orange...or have zero effect whatsoever. So, I figure if it does something to her's, then maybe it'll lighten mine. In which case, if I dyed it purple after blonde, maybe the purple would actually be purple instead of red.
The giant question.
Or black. Which could work better, or not.
I can't pick.
And for some reason I've been wanting it long, lately.
But then I won't be able to do anything with it. Plus I'll have to braid it when I sleep again, not to mention take an hour in the morning to brush it out, and another hour to wash it. Which is hell.
Plus I won't be able to spike it in any way then. Cry.
Cut it short, dye it black.

Russia has a few problems.

Yeah well. You decide for yourself.
So, new Russian Government thing.
Emo and goth music is now outlawed in little old Russia. [Or will be soon. Either way.]
Furthermore, any kids dressed in 'emo' or 'goth' clothing? Say goodbye to entering school and Government buildings. You are no longer allowed.
Little harsh, no?

Gasp, Shock, Horror

Sooo everyone's talking about Katy Perry, right?
Well, maybe not everyone, per say, but there's a bit of buzz.
I kept seeing her CD in the stores, and in turn heard people talking about it. Never bothered to listen to it, as I simply assumed I wouldn't, in fact, care for it.
I was wroooong.
Despite the title that may seem somewhat appalling to some people, I'm actually really really liking her song I Kissed A Girl.
Shockingly catchy, it really is.

I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick, I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don't mind it. It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight. I kissed a girl and I liked it...I liked it...

Note: Video's on the PG-13 side. Just FYI.

The List

Well, one of them.
Soo. I can't always be on YouTube 24/7, yet I listen to the radio more than I probably should. So a song comes on, you liiiiike it, you forget it. Or you forget to listen to it again. Unfortunately. But no, you write it down. Yesss. You make a list. W
Anyhow.

Yeeepppp.

Trematodes and Wolbachia and Screwworms Oh My

Yeah. And that's not even the worst of it.
Personally, the hook worms and guinea worms are my least favorite.
...And I'm talking about...what, exactly?
Sorry, you're out of the loop.
Unless you've read Peeps by Scott Westerfeld.
Brilliant book, but you'll have to look at the first post of my new blog, Naturally Unnatural, for that.
No, I'm not going to gross you out and make you all-too aware of what's going on where you can't see here, too. Just there. In graphic, book-mode detail. Soooo, if you're freaked out about random, nasty parasites, or just have an abnormally weak stomach, I'd suggest not checking it out.

Donuts, anyone?

So if you were in Illinois recently, you may [or may not] have heard something about the Tour De Donut.
And......What on earth am I talking about, right?
The basic story is this:
It's like the Tour De France. Bicycles and everything.
Plus, donuts.
But you probably guessed that.
So. You ride a bike. While eating donuts.
Sound easy enough?
The winner is the bicyclist with the fastest time.
Downside: For each donut you eat, 5 minutes is shaved off of your time.
Just a little counter-productive, eh?

Light-bulb moment.

Well, light-bulb at 2 a.m.
I was up late reading, sue me.
Anyhow.
The book for some reason made me think this:
I'm German, Italian, Polish, and French, right?
German.
AND.
Polish.
And people wonder why I'm so opinionated.
Psh.

[...It was random in the first place. If it doesn't make sense, then it's simply not going to.]

I'd check the fruit bowl...

If I were you.
And don't go eating the poison grapes.
I know.
WHAT?
But really.
Poison grapes.
Well, poison spiders = poison grapes, but still.
So I hear on the radio today that two people were just minding their own business eating a fruit salad or something of the like they bought from a store. Later, they start having headaches and stuff. They didn't die or anything, but they were taken to the hospital.
Turns out, there were poisonous spiders eating and nesting in their grapes. Evidently the couple ate a few...hence the headaches.
Yeah.
So when my sisters insisted on having strawberries not long after my hearing this, I remembered we had grapes in the refrigerator that needed to be eaten.
Riiiight.
So we proceeded to slice up every single grape. Just to, you know, make sure we didn't have any invaders.

Well that's awkward.

Mission Accomplished....Kind of.

Yeah so. Few weeks ago. I was reading for most of the day [got like 10 books from the library. -happy dance-] then I finally came out for something or another, and everyone else is gathered around the patio slider door, while dad's playing with something under the rebounder. [Mini trampoline used for exercise.] Was it a worm or a snake...the great debate.
Anyhow, fast forward a bit, it turned out to be a tiny baby snake. Black, yellow stomach, yellow ring around neck. He [/she/it] was dangling by a spider web under the rebounder, when Charlie [spastic little Rat Terrier. AKA the Snake Hunter] found it.
So everyone went inside, and dad and I stayed out trying to untangle said snake dude. Once he was off of the rebounder, we took him to a different part of the patio and laid him out. I held the flashlight on him, and dad took a pair of tweezers to the spiderweb, which was wrapped around him so ridiculously that his tail was hooked around and tied to his middle. Trust me, you aren't getting away from anything like that. Fairly cooperative little guy though. Only opened his mouth about 4 times. And considering we were out there for 40 minutes, that wasn't too bad.So yeah. We did eventually wind up freeing his tail, but the spiderweb was still there. Dang stuff is like iron.
After the snake incident, we left him in a cup and went to search the patio for the spider who started the whole thing.
Long story short, we found him under the exercise machine, covered with spider webs and dad smoked him out. Literally. The whole thing was very Arachnophobia [as in the movie, not the actually phobia] as he shoved his cigarette onto said spider. Cruel? Possibly, but so is tangling up a defenseless baby snake in a web of evil. So you know. Now they're even.
Anyhow, if you're looking for a happy ending, you aren't getting one here. Dad filled up a big bucket with dirt, leaves and the snake. We went inside, and all that jazz was over. Little did I know, daddy dearest left the little thing out there. For two days. So he died. How sad.
Mission Accomplished,
Mission Futile.
Big surprise.

Time for a change

Yeahh.
Regardless to the fact that I know you all adore the current green/black blog set-up, the nice drippy background and everything...I think it's time for a change.
Perhaps you'll like the next one just as well?
The ultimate question.
If not, well too bad. You'll learn to love it.
And when you do, tell me. I'll be sure to change it again.

You'll Get Over It.

I realize I haven't been here in forever and a year.
Sorry.
Been busy, had nothing to say [shock, I know] and slash or the Internet connection was effin retarded in the highest level of the word(s).
I haven't abandoned the blog, I promise.
So yeah.
Miss me?
Probably not.
Anyway, moving on.

What up with the Rays? They've got the best record in baseball a year after having the WORST record in baseball, and all of a sudden they start sucking? They've lost like, what? 5 games in a row now? All that bubble gum is going to your heads, guys. Get it together. Sheesh.
On the bright side, Evan Longoria got 9 million votes for the last player on the AL team for the All-Star game. So that's good.
Now, skipping to something you all actually care about, since I know it isn't baseball.
Hmm. Brain cramp. What do you all actually care about?
Ah. Movies.
So Wall-E was cute. Up there on the animated movies scale.
Cloverfield was good too, ironically. I'd not advise watching it if you get severe motion-sickness though, as the camera was bad-home-movie shaky [on purpose, watch it if you're confused.]
Oooh. The Spiderwick Chronicles. Really good. Shockingly enough, it was really good. Different, but I had a feeling I'd like it beforehand [probably had something to do with the fact that I hadn't read the books, as that always kills the movie]. Especially since Holly Black was one of the co-writers for the series, and I love her books. And Freddy Highmore's usually got decent movies.
Mad Money. Heard different stuff one that one. Wasn't sure it was going to be great in the beginning, but it got better. Ending was awesome.
So yeah.
Good stuff...

Better stuff: Got Anberlin's 'Cities' CD. And my sister got Sugarcult's 'Lights Out'.
...Other sister got Hilary Duff's...something or other. Dignity, maybe? I think that's it.

Aaaaaaaand
There's a game on right now.
And we're STILL losing.
Bottom of the third, Cleveland: 7 Rays: 0
Big whoop.
