5 Movies and Some Hockey Games

That was my weekend. Unemployment is AWESOME.

Thursday: (the start of my weekend)
Max Payne: not so good
HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3: midnight showing. Freakin AMAZING. I am such a nerd.

Friday:
Quarantine: ehh ok
The Secret Life of Bees: Really good movie especially if you read the book. It didn't deviate too much. Good story, good acting.

Saturday:
UNCW's (my school) hockey game. Normally I would not go to anything like it (actually this was my first ever UNCW sporting event even though we supposedly have a pretty good basketball team) but my friends kidnapped me and forced me to go. They are big hockey fans (who knew since I'm not so much in the big hockey area). It was actually pretty cool. I like how they beat the crap out of eachother on the ice.
Saw V: almost as bad as you would expect it to be.

Sunday:
My friend Chad's hockey game. They have been begging me to go for almost 2 years and I finally decided to go since I really don't have anything better to do. It was fun. A bunch of my friends went and we all got food after. Hockey part not so exciting but oh well.



Its amazing how much your social life heats up when you stop working. All my friends force me to go out with them since they know I have no excuse anymore. All in all it was a good weekend! Too bad I have a ton of school work to do now :(

Stop Those Shenanigans

My Aunt Margot recently requested that everyone start writing in their blogs more. I said 'okay' and then waited a week or so to comply but LOOK at the progress I have made tonight. Below are 3 more blogs all freshly written. Since there may be another drought a-comin' you may want to read them slowly. Maybe space them out a few days in between reads.

So not only has my aunt been feeling abandoned but also the TV shows that I watch. I haven't written about them in weeks! I feel ashamed to say this, but I am overwhelmed by how many shows I am attempting to watch this season. The damn writers strike got my schedule all messed up last season and I started watching a bunch of new shows to fill in the void. Now they are all back and I just can't keep up! My DVR is at an annoying 50% full ALL THE TIME. Now to many this may not seem like a big deal but one thing that drives me crazy is a full DVR. And no matter how hard I try to watch and watch every time I go back its back at 50%! I'm just gunna keep chugging along and watching and hope I can beat it some day, preferably before I move and have to give it back to Time Warner Cable (evil entertainment conglomerate that they are).

So a review of my shows is definitely needed. As I sit and watch Pushing Daisies I realize I can not possible write about all my shows so I will keep it to the ones that had memorable quotes this week (or last) that made me laugh.

"If you thought that was long you have no idea what you're in for" - Chuck Bass, Gossip Girl.
I absolutely LOVE him. His character makes the show for me. I don't care who he is seducing or destroying he does it with style and grace and it's absolutely amazing. I also like the friendship blossoming between Dan and Nate and think they are both adorable as well. I could do without the Jenny story line but every show has it's downfall. Overall it's an A.

"He's like the fuckin' witness whisperer." -Deb, Dexter
For anyone who hasn't seen this show they really need to go out and rent the 1st season on DVD. It's so good and the critics seem to love it also! I don't want to give away too much from this season since I doubt anyone has Showtime and watches it but everyone should! Dexter is a serial killer with a moral code who works for the cops. Michael C Hall does an amazing job with the character and the whole show is a joy.

"A man should know never to grab another man's cape." Nathan Scott, One Tree Hill
"Apparently you have everything backwards, so come on in." Brooke Davis, OTH
Everyone knows OTH has my heart but in the last couple episodes they were killing me. bad. But they redeemed themselves this week by ditching some bad story lines and giving the characters some decent material. PLUS Dawson (from Dawson's Creek) is going to be on the show which is awesome! I hear he's in town this month it would be so cool to see him!

"High Five Turtle." Matt Parkman, Heroes
Every time I see the show I am a little more confused about what is going on. But I read other blogs about it and figure it out later. Still like show but they really gotta work on being a littttle more specific. Kristen Bell will be back next week which makes everything OK.

"Stop being such an Indian Giver!" Gio, Ugly Betty
I miss him! I want a campaign to bring Freddy Rodriguez back to Ugly Betty! He makes the show better every time hes on! And thank you for the throw back to the term Indian Giver! When was the last time you said that? 4th grade? I think it's makin a comeback.

"Was I humming? I thought that was in my head!" Walter Bishop, Fringe
He is one of the best new characters on TV this season! I love him! The show is awesome with good stories, and great mysteries (just like JJ always does) and the characters rock. Possibly the best new show this season.

I would also like to mention that not 1 but 2 different shows incorporated MMMBop into their programs this week. Chuck and House. Thank you for that, you have no idea how happy that made me.

Lastly, I would like to mention one of my favorite shows this season is getting dramatically close to being cancelled, Life on NBC. It's in it's 2nd season but the 1st was cut short due to the strike. Damien Lewis plays the main character, a cop who was put in jail for like 10 years for a crime he didn't commit. He was exonerated and has now returned to being a cop. He loves fruit and the zen.
It's quirky and funny. It makes my Fridays happy.

It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Okay, so that one is TECHNICALLY relevant. And if you read these posts from the top to bottom that doesn't make sense anyway so really I am writing to myself.


I carved a pumpkin! Actually I carved 2 but I don't have a picture of the lst one. It was a ghost ship and you could TOTALLY tell what it was. I did it while I was home at Tatum's and at least 6 people saw it and recognized what it was without me telling them. Which is freakin amazing. So Tatum or Ashley, who randomly read my blog, please feel free to make a comment in the comment section about how good it was so everyone else knows I'm not lying. Thank you.

And on to my 2nd pumpkin creation.




IT'S JENSEN AND JARED!!! (from Supernatural!) It looks better in person, and if you actually know what they look like. Still pretty awesome considering ITS A PUMPKIN.

I'm thinking about becoming an artist. My masterpiece has already been swarmed by fruit flies which makes me really sad so I am thinking about doing a recreation right before Halloween so I can light it for the holiday, but we'll see.

Also, my friend Meg got a butt shaped pumpkin and then carved hands grabbing the ass. She is so proud.

High Five Turtle!

Thank you Greg Grunberg aka Matt Parkman on Heroes for today's title.

I got my newest tattoo! Technically it was a month ago now, but I was lagging on the blog writing and have finally decided to catch up. ALL IN ONE NIGHT. I'm in a sharing mood.

Back to the tattoo. I got it on my wrist and its kinda like the design I posted but it had to be simplified in order to fit on my wrist. Here it is!

I like it. The star gets bigger and smaller and bigger and smaller when i move my wrist around and that amuses me. Sadly.

And to address one of the comments on my earlier blog post on my tattoo...

No Marnie, I would NOT like to get the NBC peacock on my wrist instead. I don't even really like that station. Much rather the CW logo thank-you-very-much.

Anywho, that's the tat. Me Likey. OH YEA. I went with my friend Megan to get the tattoo and she got one of her foot. It was her first tattoo and she was real nervous. She made it all the way through the tattoo just fine and then FREAKED OUT after it was all done and he was putting the bandage on it. She turned all white and got cold sweats and thought she was gunna throw up. Strangest thing I've ever seen. And funny. Since she's OK now.

Who Bob What Pants?

I've decided to start making the titles of my blog completely irrelevant because that just seems like more fun...for me. This one is thanks to a sponge bob movie that came out a couple weeks ago that made me giggle. (the title, not the movie since I have not watched it) and speaking of work...

I quit my job! (yayy, woooo from the crowd)

I have a tendency (who doesn't really?) to quit jobs in an angry rage, which is sort of what I did here. I have had more shitty part time jobs than most people I know and I think it has made me a more colorful person. And also speaks to my fear of commitment to anything (or anyone for that matter).

This wasn't so much an angry rage as a few bitchy comments and leaving (in the middle of my Saturday night shift) and never going back. As of last night my manager still thought I was coming back and hadn't covered my shifts. Which goes to show what a moron he is. He was (technically still is) a stupid little tool who I have hated since I met him about 6ish months ago. I did like my job when I didn't have to see him but unfortunately he didn't get the hint and scheduled us together all the time. And I have temper, a problem with all authority, and REFUSE to ever apologize. to anyone.

So now I am unemployed (yay!) and still have a little less than 2 months living in NC. Which isn't enough time to get another job (right? right.) so I'm just gunna hang out. It should be fun. I'm pumped.

Cold weather

It's finally cooling down in Wilmington! Normally this would not make me happy at all, however in this town it makes me SO EXCITED. I realize that it is probably just a storm and it will be hot as balls again by the end of the week but I am enjoying it for now. I have on slippers and a long sleeved shirt (becuase I left my door open all day to let in the coldness) and I am loving it! It's amazing after spending 2 years in heat how much I enjoy the cold when it is here. I went for a walk with my puppy today and it was so nice to actually put on a sweatshirt to go outside. I loved it. But about 3 weeks ago I was home for a long weekend where it was freezing and I was MISERABLE. It was probably the same temp then as it is here now but my reaction to it was so different. Funny how depending on where you are how much temperature differences effect your mood. Well, I am going to enjoy my coldness for as long as it wants to stay here...and then be super unhappy when I move back to NY and freeze. I should just retire already so I can go up north in the summer and down south in the winter!
