I feel I need to discuss this.

Anybody see this movie? What were your thoughts? Did you like the ending? I feel like I don't....but I feel like that's the best way to do it. And the whole movie....just intense. It actually made me teary-eyed at some points.
This movie was amazing.....But I feel like I need to mull over it before I add it to my favorites list, lol.

And does anybody else think Emile resembles Leonardo de caprio?! This revelation was anoying me throughout the whole movie.

Can't wait for the Speed Racer DVD release in September, though.

Taking a break from packing....never thought sorting out my desk would be this tiring or take this long.

I was watching/listening to "SMART PEOPLE" while packing....this movie made me LOL. I loved it. Clever...and of course, there's Ellen Page. I liked Thomas Haden Church's role better, though. Also, is that REALLY Dennis Quaid's gut?! Like, REALLY?!

Seriously, SERIOUSLY looking forward to "THE WATCHMEN". Like, SERIOUSSSSSSLY. Other movies...."Appaloosa"....have you seen the trailer? WHATCOWBOYVIGGOWHAT?! And "THE SPIRIT" really didn't attract me with the teaser trailer, but with the new trailer, it has me interested. I have the comics....so I'm thinking about reading them when I find the time. "Nick and Nora's Inifinite Playlist" looks cute too. Iono....movies like that though, like Juno, so overrated. They're enjoyable, but they're not really the works of genius everyone claims them to be. I mean, I think it's more of a new genre at work than genius. Did see "PINEAPPLE EXPRESS", btw. Enjoyable. It's always more fun to watch people when they're high than actually seeing what they're seeing. I heard there's a "SIN CITY 2" coming out.....Haven't seen/heard anything about it yet, but not too interested. I didn't really like the first one....even though it was from Frank Miller....maybe I should watch it again to see if my perspective's changed any. Iono..didn't work with Kill Bill.

( nothing significant, really. )

Gotta go finish packing my desk. And then my shoes.

THE DARK KNIGHT.
Amazing. Nothing else worth saying. This movie had me thoroughly entertained 100% of the time. And the Joker was amazing. I love Christian Bale. The end. I was tired as hell, though.

CAL POLY POMONA ORIENTATION.
Very useful, got lots of resources. I felt like I belonged. It's funny because 75% of the college of agriculture is female. And they're SO helpful. They had actual faculty there to talk to you and help you out. And I always knew it was going to be competitive getting into vet school, but talking to the director and several other doctors made me actually realize and FEEL just how competitive it really it. Talking to real doctors and interacting with real people made me see what I have to do to make it. AND I'M SUPER EXCITED. But signing up for classes was a HORRIBLE ordeal. It took me 3 hours because UCLA classes didn't transfer over as smoothly as everyone else's city college classes. And the ones I could take without prereqs were full. I didn't get the classes I wanted, but I did get classes that I need. Here's my fall schedule:
- Feeds and Feeding: MWF 11-11:50 am
- Feeds and Feeding Lab: W 12-2:50 pm
- Animal Diseases: T 4-6:50 pm
- Drugs and Society: TR 10-11:50 am
- Chemistry: MWF 8-8:50 am
- Chemistry lab: M 12-2:50
I wanted to take intro to vertebrates and invertebrates, but my life science classes didn't completely transfer over, so I have to petition those. And I couldn't take the physics classes I wanted because my math class didn't transfer over. *sigh* And I need to take stats as a major requirement, but I couldn't because again, my math class didnt transfer over. BUT I'M EXCITED. I get to take such exciting classes. I'm thrilled. But I have so much planning to do. *sigh*
And I have to go back and talk to the financial aids office, because I don't have enough money, *sigh*

EPIC EVENT OF THE DAY.
I got a call around 7:00 AM from Western Union, telling me someone was trying to spend $440 from the UK under my card and name. I was like, WTF? No. But I was half asleep so I didn't really comprehend what was fully going on. So I get home later and check my balance, and there was a pending transaction of like $380. So, I called Western Union and they told me the person couldn't get past security, and that I should cancel the card and call the police. I canceled the card. I should get my money back in like 4 days. I haven't called the police. Don't think I need to. But geez, people, ugh. From the UK? Alex theorized someone was using a card number generator and mine popped up. Whatever. My mom told me not to buy from the internet anymore, but I don't think that's it. I just have bad luck.

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR CREDIT CARD BALANCE, even if it's debit or credit. CHECK IT. Keep track of your purchases and make sure you know every item on your transaction list. I know this sounds like common sense, but the task gets mundane after a while and you tend to forget the IMPORTANCE of it.
ALSO, go watch batman.

God damn it. I LOVE TOMATOES. And I am horrified that it is not in the foods I love.
Taco bell has no tomatoes. Chipotle has no tomatoes. MY GOD. UGH. You can't have good salsa without tomatoes.....BLARGH.

I saw "THE HAPPENING" today. Mark Wahlberg's performance was mediocre. The whole movie...he sounded like he was reading off a paper...and that all his sentences were questions but he didn't realize they were until he was halfway through reading aloud the sentence. It was frustrating to watch because he's acted fine in other movies.
I'd have to say this is shyamalan's weakest movie. It was an interesting theory, no doubt. But...I don't know if it was quite big enough for the big screen. I mean, I enjoyed it. It had its suspense and I love Shyamalan's humor. But if you don't like his other movies, don't see this one. It's not one of his best. And he didn't make a cameo in it! Either that, or I didn't notice him.

I totally could've scored some carne asada tonight...but my mom needed me to buy kimchi for her guests tomorrow and the korean market was closing...and kimchi is perishable...so I had to go home. I hate living in Palmdale...so far away from all my friends....and korean markets. Ugh.
This summer is going to be a social drag. Since gas is $4.59 a gallon, my mom won't let me go out to see my sunland/tujunga friends. Only once a week. I can't go far places without me feeling guilty, either. God. I hate money. I hate distance.
And I know I'm going to be seething with jealousy because everyone's gonna be home for the summer....home being Sunland/Tujunga......and Alex is going to be hanging out with everybody except me. He'll only see me once a week. And he has work. And summer school....so it's not likely he'll drive to palmdale very often.

And I'm not in a too painty mood today...I'm tired. And Alex was slighting me when Mike joined the hangout and kind of pissed me off. LIke..wth....the sudden change of attitude totally turned me off. I guess it was better that way because it was easier for me to leave to go get my mom's kimchi. Ugh. Boys are stupid. And they'll never understand why the things they do upset us. And no matter how many times you explain it to them, it's always going to be the same thing.
I guess that's just something one has to learn to deal with when associating with boys. Boys. Not men, BOYS.

I'm thinking of pirating ROSETTA STONE for Korean and Japanese to refine my language abilities. Allen was totally working the spanish one and I felt moltivated.

I need to force myself to paint.

Interesting. I really liked the idea about... ( spoiler )

But it had a whole bunch of terrible actors. Like...the acting was.....LOL I CANT TAKE THIS MOVIE SERIOUSLY.

Again. I really want to see this movie again. I just saw a clip of him and Peter arguing....and i was like....GAAAHHHHHHHH.
And whenever I listen to the OST, GOD...the part where he runs away....EPIC.

I love Ben Barne 100000x more because he based his accent off of INIGO MONTOYA from THE PRINCESS BRIDE.

CLASSIC.
Ugh. If I weren't so dirt poor, I'd totally pay to see that movie again. And Speed Racer. But right now, more Caspian than anything. WANT.

Also, I got the audio books for the whole Chronicles of Narnia series....

FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT READ IT:
What order did u read it in? I was never aware there were 2 different orders. The books I have are in chronological order...but my audiobooks are in publication order.....so I was just curious.

Watched it, finally, in my thirst for fantasy.

I LOVED IT. HOMG.
The humor, I absolutely did not expect. And Robert? HILARIOUS. And Tristan looks amazing with long hair.

I don't really have any constructive review remarks. I just like it. Period.

It was surprisingly good. Entertaining. There were ALOT of lines..more than I thought.

AND PRINCE CASPIAN IS HOOOOOOTTTTT! STOP STARING AT HER AND LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE!!!

It's still cheesy, in epic proportions, but it's much much better than the first movie (they actually BLEED!) and it makes me excited for the next installment.

I need to reread the books, though. I was trying to explain it to Alex because he hadn't seen the first movie.....and I couldn't remember crap. I don't think I enjoyed the books very much, though =/

EW. THEY'RE MAKING IT INTO A MOVIE. WTF.

Holy Jesus, mother effin' christ.

YOU GUYS HAVE TO WATCH SPEED RACER. I don't care about Iron Man. Or What happened in vegas. or whatever movie is out now. GO WATCH SPEED RACER.

This movie is EPIC. So beautiful. So amazing.
All time favorite movie, EVER. I want to go see it again.

Walked through Ontario Mills twice. Got tons of applications to fill out. I'm pretty optimistic.
