So more blogging from my phone, yea? (;
Ok so we just finished watching this documentary in APES (AP Environmental Science) called Gasland.
It was an OK documentary, but it really got me thinking. The movie is all about Hydraulic Fracturing (Fracking). It is pretty ridiculous.
Fracking is SOOO BAD. It corrupts drinking water and the politicians are so corrupt! New Jersey just banned Fracking because of all the negative health affects.
People that live near the Fracking wells have lots of health problems, mainly from drinking the water. ANNNNDDD... They can set their water on fire because of all the chemicals in it!
This movie made me never want to drink unfiltered tap water ever again.
It wouldn't be that bad if the companies would at least own up to everything!
Thats all I have to say on this...
Peace Out kids.

Blogging from my phone! Wassup?
So I've totally figured out that there is a blogger app on my phone, which guarantees that I will be blogging a lot more since moslty my problem is that I'm too lazy to get on the computer to blog. Now I can do it on the go! BOOYAH.
Now obviously, the settings are a bit more crude so I can't italicize or bold or change the color and so on, but I can at least get my point across.
As I'm blogging (from my phone! ((((: ) I'm watching this really gay documentary called The Seeker's Guide to Harey Potter. I figured, hey, it's about HP I'll love it. No not at all, this lady is a whack job, but I have this OCD thing where I have to watch everything from beginning to end.
I predict I will give it a one, no higher than a two, and I strongly recommend that you don't see it especially if you like Harry Potter. The music is wigging me out, plus this lady is a Wiccan or something so se speaks this weird language and shows these trippy scenes of the UK and diff castles. Ok well that's all for now!
And look! I can add pictures now! (at least, I think I can...)

Sometimes, the Professionals are Actually Right...
About a year and a half ago, on June 10,2010 to be exact (which is also my birthday for those of you who were curious) a movie came out called Super 8, which is the type of camera that the kids in the movies used to film a short film called The Case.
Now, I remember thinking, this movie doesn't even look good! It was the only Rater R movie out on my seventeenth movie. I was so mad. I didn't know what to do. So I waited a couple of weeks to go see a different Rated R movie for the first time. Well, the first Rated R movie TICKET that I bought I should say...
Then December and January come, with lots of award shows, and big surprise, Super 8 is up for a TON of awards. I still wasn't convinced it was worth it, because those award shows never seem to give awards to the entertaining movies...
But I finally watched the movie last night, AND I LOVED it.
It is your typical Steven Spielberg movie, but it's also something more. It has some draw of innocence portrayed so well by the young actors and actresses, but yet this other sense of understanding that adults can't quite reach. I'm giving it five stars, which is a rarity for me, but it wasn't one of my favorites, however, I did like it, a lot.
My only complaint? It was a bit short. I wanted it to be longer!
However, to those of you who haven't seen it yet:
I know a few people who said it was scary. I will admit that it was suspenseful and made me jump. A fair few of expletives were heard throughout the room from multiple parties as well. So just a word to the wise. This movie is not for the faint hearted...
But enjoy!

No. 5
In one of my favorite shows, Gilmore Girls, there are numerous occasions when one of the characters, Lorelai, turns to her daughter Rory, and says something along the lines of this: "Do you smell that? Rory, do you smell that? Faint little auras of Chanel Number 5... You're grandmother has been here."
It is without a doubt that Chanel No. 5 has a very distinct smell, just like Coco herself was a very unique woman with tastes in fashion that are for the ages.
So blah blah blah right? What could my blog have anything to do with Coco Chanel? Well, I just watched a movie by the very same name of course, Coco Chanel, which I have given four stars. It was a lifetime original movie that my mom had been wanting to see for a while, and it finally made it's way to the top of our Netflix Mountain.
It tells the story of Coco Chanel's struggle and love and so much more. I find it truly amazing that the most inspirational people had the hardest lives. It just goes to show that a good thing doesn't always come easily.
They picked two wonderful actresses to portray Coco Chanel, and I couldn't have imagined it any other way. The wonderful Shirley MacLaine played the spit-fire older version of Mademoiselle Chanel, bitter in her old age, but still determined as ever to "Dress women the way women want to be dressed." The young Chanel is played by Barbora Bobulova who depicts the struggles and heartbreak of the graceful ambitious Chanel so well.
I thought it was a really good movie overall, and I would love to watch it again. However, it did seem extremely long. Little fun fact though, it was up for a few awards in the 2009 Golden Globes!

I'm a Failure at Life
So there's this really awesome blog that I started following, and the author, Jen, is my inspiration for life. She is HILARIOUS. The blog is called: People I Want to Punch in the Throat. Follow her on facebook, because she is truly amazing.
Well, something she said in one of recent posts really got me thinking.
And my conclusion is: I am a complete failure at life.
Wanna know how I got to this conclusion? It's a pretty funny story really.
So me and my sister decide we wanted some froyo (frozen yogurt for those of you who don't know what that means) and we were having a nice little chit-chat. When suddenly I realized something. Never once in my life have I watched a complete TV series from Pilot episode to series finale.
HOW PATHETICALLY EMBARRASSING.
So to emphasize the amount of my failures, I will enlighten you with SOME of the shows (that I can recall) that I have never finished watching in their entirety.
It all started with Blue's Clues, I ditched that show when creepo Joe joined the crew...
Then here's the rest:
Now here's the list of shows that I have seen in their entirety.
I just fail.
Here's what happens. I get the DVD collections or series on Netflix, so I get hooked on a show and I watch it constantly. But eventually I get busy or don't watch them for a couple of days in a row, and I'll wind up moving onto a new show. OR, I'll have this sudden random urge to start watching a different series. It's really bad. But I LOVE TV SHOWS. I just have a problem watching them from beginning to end. I wonder why?
My current TV infatuation is Cheers because the other day while I was watching Hot In Cleveland I had a random urge to watch Frasier since half the cast was on that show. And I realized I had never seen Cheers from beginning to end which is the show where Dr. Frasier Crane got his start. So if and when I ever finish Cheers I will attempt to watch Frasier from start to finish. Maybe eventually I will finish Charmed like I keep saying I will on this stupid blog.
This blog is getting me no where in life.
It just reminds me of what I failure I am.
But then again, it gives me a purpose and drive to write and entertain with that which is written. It is only through failure that we are ever able to accomplish something.
Peace Out Kids.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas. (:
Well hey hey hey!
Everyone knows what tomorrow is right?
December 1st! :D
That means:
A lot of people don't know this, but one of my favortie things to do is sing. I do it ALLLLL THE TIME. Some people appreciate my lovely singing. ei, my parents, my best friend, random hobos on the street. (Just kidding about that last one guys...)
Some people do NOT enjoy my singing (my sister...)
But that has never stopped me. I sing in the shower, in my room, in the car with my windows rolled down, in the middle of grocery stores, in parking lots. Pretty much any where.
But the thing is... I only sing around certain people. Because my worst fear is for someone to think I'm a bad singer. Yea, pretty irrational, but that's one thing I don't want people to judge.
Anyways... Point of this loverly story is coming, I promise.
Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved to sing. And it all started with one song in particular, from a very certain movie that I may have mentioned before. And yes, this movie does have to do with Christmas time, so what better time to bring it up than now?
WHITE CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!
It's only my Favorite Movie EVER. (OK- it's only my favorite during the christmas holidays, because obviously I lovelovelove When Harry Met Sally. So technically it's my second favorite. But for all intents and purposes, we're saying it's my favv today. kthanks.)
But seriously. I used to watch this movie nonstop when I was little. I used to run around my house dancing (OH yea, this movie is why I used to love dancing, but I grew out of that) and singing "Sisters, Sisters, there were never such devoted sisters". I had the dances memorized, every line to the songs I knew by heart. I still do actually.
Every year, we wait to watch White Christmas for the first time of the season until we put the Christmas tree up. I have been dying to watch this movie for weeks now, but I couldn't until we put the stinkin' tree up. Well, we finally did yesterday, so I finally got to watch my movie. I sang along to EVERY SONG, much to my sister's annoyance. I didn't even help decorate the tree, because I just wanted to watch the movie, hehe.
Before almost every song, I would say, "Hey, It's my favorite part, be quiet!" or "I love this!" or "This is the best part!" My family finally caught on and noticed that basically the whole movie is my favorite part.
I swaer if I could, I would go back in time just so I could live in the 50s, it was such a great era. All the women were beautiful, people actually cared about what they looked like. I'm not saying I loved WWII, but it's my favorite part of history because it's when the country was at it's finest in my opinion. It's part of why I enjoy this movie so much. The 50's were just so... well, Swell.
But, per Christmas tradition, I will be watching this movie at least once a week; I never get sick of it.
This is the movie that made me fall in love with movies. Fall in love with music. Fall in love with dancing. Fall in love with Bing Crosby. Fall in love with Christmas. Fall in love with Rosemary Clooney. Fall in love with comedy. Fall in love with the 50's. Fall in love with snow. Fall in love with singing. and most importantly, Fall in love with love.
Everyone seriously needs to go see this movie ASAP if you haven't already.
That's all for today, kiddos.
Peace Out Kids.
Everyone knows what tomorrow is right?
December 1st! :D
That means:
- 25 Days until Christmas
- 24 Days until Christmas Eve (Which was kind of obvious because of the first bullet, but I thought I would point it out anyways...)
- 32 Days until the elusive 2012 (but here's a big shocker for everyone - THE WORLD'S NOT ENDING)
- 20 days until a very special person's birthday :D (I'm wondering if she will catch that I'm talking about her?)
- 41 Days until another special birthday (My bestest friend in the entire world that is)
- And lastly, 193 days until I am officially an adult. :DDDDDDDD
A lot of people don't know this, but one of my favortie things to do is sing. I do it ALLLLL THE TIME. Some people appreciate my lovely singing. ei, my parents, my best friend, random hobos on the street. (Just kidding about that last one guys...)
