THIS FANTASTICAL CREATURE GOT ME A CODE FOR MY PRE-ORDER. YES, THAT IS RIGHT.

When I finally dug myself out of the snow and got a ride to the store, they were all SRY2SAY YOU NO CAN HAZ CODE. I nearly burned the store down.

But then an angel/demon/succubus(?) came down/up from Heaven/Hell/New Jersey and bestowed upon me A CODE. A GLORIOUS CODE.

So, now I am indebted forever, and my day has been redeemed from its former state of craptasticalness, and HOORAY.

Also, LOST. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. alksjfoaisflaksdjflaskdjf Again, GOOD TIMES with the live tweeting. I know now that Tuesday at 9pm is going to be my favorite hour of the whole week. WE NEED MOAR PEEPS. ALWAYS MOAR PEEPS. JOIN US.

Off to get into BioShock 2. IT SKURS ME SO MUCH.

I'm STILL waiting to be called by My Ride to take me to get my game. The roads are looking decent from where I'm sitting, and if he doesn't call and offer to drive me, HEADS WILL FUCKING ROLL.

I did get to finish my second play of ME2, so that is something, but I WANT BIOSHOCK NAO PLZ.

To pass the time, I watched a movie, along with some TV shows. HOW FREAKING GREAT WAS HOUSE LAST NIGHT? I LOVED IT.

Anyway, movie review ahoy!


LOL Remember that guy named Ethan Hawke? YEAH, ME EITHER.

Daybreakers
...starring some guy named Ethan Hawke, that crazy ass Willem Dafoe, and Dr. Alan Grant. )


Now I will attempt to take a shower and sit here and not turn into a snarling beast waiting for my phone to ring. I think we got around six inches today? On top of the two we already had, and we're possibly to get some more. Everybody is freaking out, and I just think HELLO GET OVER IT. IT IS JUST SNOW. And seeing as how so many people have gotten SO much more, I think they should all thank their lucky stars we got off this easy.

GAME. NAO.

If you are interested in being a part of Cinema Chick, which is still a working title, but I'm actually pretty fond of it, please let me know.

Cinema Chick is going to be my new blog project, after the horrible fail of ThreeSixFive and Bloody Captastic. This one I think might actually be all right, seeing as how I love movies and I love being snarky, and I am, in fact, a chick.

So, what would you have to do? Nothing beyond submit the occasional review of a movie. Yes, any movie. They don't have to be new movies. They can be old, semi-old, or really, really fucking ancient. I originally considered going through my movie collection, but then what happens when I run out of movies? No, no. I shall not fall into that trap.

I'm going to maintain the blog myself, but I would love it if other chicks would like to submit reviews from time to time. This means I have varied and dynamic content, but no one is stuck down to a schedule. It will never be ZOMG YOUR REVIEW IS DUE EACH TUESDAY. It will be HEY, IF YOU HAVE A REVIEW I WILL POST IT.

I, myself, do tend to lean toward the snarkier side of criticism. I like to watch bad movies JUST to be snarky, but it's not a requirement. You don't even have to be particularly funny. As long as you are talking about a movie and in some way providing your opinion on it, it will work.

So, if you would like to maybe be a part of this, let me know. You can email me at teh.brooke @ gmail . com (no spaces) rather than try to keep up with it all via LJ. If you do decide to become a semi-regular contributor to this project, you will get a fancy nickname, your own intro post, and the satisfaction that you are helping to contribute to my eventual internet fame. :D

So, I know that most of this mania is being induced by me finishing up my girlie trubs because inside the blessing of never having suffered any physical symptom of PMS lies a terrible and horrible curse. That curse is that even though I have stopped bleeding and my uterus has finally said I SHALL NOW HAVE MERCY FOR THE NEXT 21-32 DAYS, I am still completely batshit crazy emotional. When I say "emotional," I do not mean OMG THIS COMMERCIAL IS SO BEAUTIFUL. I mean emotional as in I WILL FUCKING STAB YOU IN THE NECK IF YOU DON'T GET AWAY FROM ME.

But saying that this is caused by hormones does not change the fact that it is traumatizing and fucking RAGE-INDUCING.

Cut because QQ MOAR. )

And every single snowflake that is falling outside is singing in a little delicate voice FUCK YOU, BITCH.

I did nothing today. NOTHING. I had a really weird night, wherein I woke up at 4am and scarfed down two pieces of pizza and forgot all about it until I woke up and found the pizza box and realized ZOMG I HAVE NO PIZZA. o.O

I did manage to get a new movie watched, and that review should come tomorrow, and I finally sat down at watched This Is It, that Michael Jackson movie thing. I have conflicting emotions about it, but it was sort of nice to watch and see what might have been had that tour gone on like planned. Bah. I don't want to talk about that.

I am getting ready to get ready to go to the midnight release party of Bioshock 2, and I AM SO EXCITED. I've been playing through ME2 for the second time for the last week or so, and I am trying desperately to finish before I go and get my new game, and it looks like it might happen. HOORAY. Except my brain to be eaten for the next five days while I annihilate this baby.

OH WAIT. NEVERMIND. MY RIDE SUDDENLY CAN'T TAKE ME BECAUSE OHHHH THE ROADS ARE TOO BAD FOR MY FUCKING 4W DRIVE SUV TO GET THROUGH AND MY KID IS SICK. *stabstab*

I don't have much else to say today except HOORAY SOME MOVIE REVIEWS.

The House of the Devil
...starring no one you have ever heard of. No, seriously. )


LOL STEPHEN KING MOVIE.

The Mist
...starring my boyfriend Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden as the hilariously crazy religious woman, and some tentacles. )

However, it was ended with the Colts losing, and that is sad. If any other team had been playing them, I'd be out in the streets punching cars and screaming for vengeance to rain down upon them. But since it was New Orleans and because that franchise has been such a bunch of lame saddos for the last 40 years, I can forgive them.

BESIDES, PEYTON ALREADY HAS A RING. HE DOESN'T NEED TWO RIGHT NOW. THAT WOULD JUST BE TACKY.

So, this coming week, I am actually going to arrange my DVD collection on the new shelves and get everything put back where it goes and go on a damn expedition into the woods to where Mook and Baby Daddy live to get back everything they've borrowed from me so I have a complete collection. And then I might start this random DVD blog project I mentioned, and SOMEONE MENTIONED SHE WANTED TO DO IT, TOO, AND THIS GIRL WOULD LIKE THAT VERY MUCH. :D I need a name for this project, so that is my first order of business after getting the dvd collection put up and listed.

And I'm going to get back to doing my reviews of new movies. It's already a week into February and I am WAY behind on my 10-a-month quota. I have reviews pending for The House of the Devil and The Mist already waiting, and at this moment, I have The Box, Dorian Gray, The Road, The Stepfather(2009), Bright Star, The Informant, Daybreakers, Nine, and Give 'em Hell, Malone, Where the Wild Things Are, The Fourth Kind, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Countess, The Princess and the Frog, Growth, Blood River, and Cabin Fever 2 to watch. o.O I don't know how it got so bad. Probably that I have been absorbed in Mass Effect 2, and I've spent all my free time playing that because THIS Tuesday, Bioshock 2 comes out, and I will be playing IT until I have annihilated it.

If I could put this much dedication and hard work into things in real life, I'd totes be a millionaire by now.

I did watch a movie called Run, Bitch Run, and I will save you all the trouble of clicking a link or going to find that movie. It is ZERO stars because it is completely and totally stupid. Okay, I can't give it zero stars, so I will give it a HALF STAR. It's supposed to be a throwback film, but it should be called a throw UP film, and I am going to list it in my full list, but it is not getting a full review. I skipped a good portion of it because it was very rapey. THANK YOU BUT NO.

Beyond all the movies I have in line, I have a shitload of TV to catch up on. I downloaded the first season of Dollhouse to see what all the fuss is about because I am a Whedonite, even if I hate Eliza Dushku in anything except Bring it On. I have Caprica to watch, and I will confess that I haven't watched any episodes of The Vampire Diaries beyond where my short-lived recaps ended. I KNOW, I KNOW. I will try to catch up this week. It's not because I don't like the show. It's just that I like other shows BETTER. With Survivor and The Amazing Race coming on this week, I won't have time for anything else, so ZOMG I MUST CATCH UP.

I realize that this post makes me look completely and totally insane. It is true. I HAVE NO LIFE.

THIS IS AIMED AT YOU, YOU STUPID NEW ORLEANS SAINTS.



KIDDING. A little.

But I'm doing a meme instead! Snagged from [info]maximuski.


1. Leave me a comment if you want to do the meme.
2. I will reply with 6 of your icons and then you have to post this up and describe them!

The aforementioned [info]maximuski picked these for me!

1.

LOL CHUCK!PIRE. Seriously, the first time we saw Godric, I thought it was Ed Westwick who plays Chuck Bass on Gossip Girl. The looked SO MUCH like him in that first scene. Sadly, in later scenes, he did not.

2.

The one and only reason I saved this icon was because of COUNT DUCKULA. TRUFAX.

3.

My opposite sex twin, Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory." The quote is a horrible mis-quote of a Bill Engvall skit because COME ON, it so looks like he's thinking that.

4.

GAIUS IN THE HIZZ. That is Gaius from Merlin and it is an Advice Dog rip off because all Gaius does is look pissed and be awesome. SRSLY. HE IS EPIC.

5.

Um, because it is? :D

6.

The amazing Ack Attack refers to tears cried by Matthew Fox's character, Jack, on LOST as Jears, and he cries A LOT. I MEAN, A LOT. LIKE...ALL THE TIME. I love and hate Jack, so this is a love and hate icon.

I'm watching Twister right now. This movie is so terrible, but I love it. I LOOOOOVE IT.

My uterus is still dancing a jig, so I don't have much energy to post right now. It's about to become a snowy mess here after it literally all just melted, but I'm not worried about it. THUS THE BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH THE POLICE. I ALWAYS HAVE A RIDE TO WORK.

On second thought, that is not a benefit.


MY CURRENT 5 FAVORITE THINGS.

1. BLUE RASPBERRY SLUSHIES.

2. The dance sequence in Smooth Criminal


3. LOST, YO. LIKE SO MUCH FUCKING LOST.

4. This fierce bitch


5. AND THE ORIGINAL FUCKING HBIC

I woke up this morning at 7:00 am, and guess what I found?

GIRLIE TROUBLES! HOORAY!

FFFFUUUUU.

So, I said FORGET YOU, STUPID SELF-IMPOSED BAN ON FAST FOOD, and I tore down a Bacon Cheddar Grillburger from Dairy Queen.

AND WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE? The computer guy changed our computer all around, and now there is a SUPER SQUIGGLY line underneath my typos. BOO AT THAT.

Oh, and guess what? Our landlord texted my mom to let her know that the water was getting shut off today at 10 am because he hadn't paid the pill. YES. AWESOME. So, like I've done twice in the past, I agreed to pay it with MY FUCKING SAVINGS MONEY with the understanding that it was coming out of the rent, and my mother has to pay me back when she gets paid.

YES, I AM SURE THAT WILL HAPPEN.

I also realized that I forgot to post a gif yesterday. I HAVE FAILED IN MY MISSION. I did get through a whole month though.

*CRIES FOREVER*

I have this idea for a new blog project because I need MOAR to do, but I was thinking about going through my DVD list from the first one to the last one and doing reviews of all of my movies. What do you think? Would you like to read something like that as a member of my flist? These will, of course, be Brooke-style reviews which means LOTS OF CAPS AND ZOMGING, but still. Y/Y?

I'm also working on a partnership with the girl who runs the Sookieverse blog for some True Blood-related stuff. I'm actually really excited about that notion. Partnership is probably too strong of a word. It's more like I emailed her all ZOMG I LURVE YER BLOG WANT TO WORK TOGETHER? Hopefully, we can come up with some good ideas. She is hell on wheels when it comes to really well-thought out articles that bridge that weird gap between fangirly madness and actually smarty pants writing.

And we all KNOW I am awesome at doing videos. :D

Hope everyone is having a lovely day. I have to go and burn down my town now because my ovaries are all like HI REMEMBER US and my uterus is all BABY OR GTFO.

LOL WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. WHO SAYS THINGS LIKE THAT? LOLOLOLOLOL


EDIT: LMAO FOREVER. I just realized what my mood icon says. TRUFAX.

My mother just called me from work to ask me if she could borrow some money until Friday because SOMEHOW her checking account is overdrawn. Mind you, she says she has NO IDEA how that happened. NO IDEA, she says.

That is the first part that makes me angry. How do you have NO IDEA how you are overdrawn? What kind of adult doesn't know how much money she has to spend? Oh, maybe one who doesn't keep her checkbook balanced? Yes, possibly, but even if you don't do that, you should have some idea of how much money you have so that you don't spend more than that.

Point number two that makes me want to stab her in the neck is that when she borrows money from me, I do not get it back the way that I want. I want the cash back in my hand so that I can re-deposit it into whatever account it came out of so that things go back to where they were before she borrowed the money. OH NO. That is not how it happens. She'll buy me a pack of cigarettes or say that I can subtract it from the cell phone bill or something.

And then the cell phone bill won't get paid, and my phone gets shut off.

But what makes me the most mad at this moment after hanging up the phone is that she KNOWS I do not have any money. She knows this because my car has been in the shop two times in the last week, and she knows that I had to pay for a new alternator. And she also knows that she did not help to pay for this new alternator for a car that she drives more than I do.

BUT STILL SHE FUCKING ASKS TO BORROW MONEY.

This is one of the 477492738 things that makes my relationship with my mother tenuous, and right now, it is just the cherry on top of the sundae of suck that my life is right now. I cannot take ONE MORE FUCKING THING, and she just has to stomp in and say OH HEY, HERE IS ONE MORE FUCKING THING.

So then I feel bad because I told her I don't have any money, and then I backpedaled because I do have money in my savings account, but I don't want to touch that because that money is to fix my car and buy a laptop and go to the meet up in Memphis, but I tell her that I can get some out of savings because I can never say no, and then what does she say? She tells me that she doesn't want me to have to spend my savings for it. But what does she toss in before she hangs up?

"I really thought you would help me, but I guess not."

lksjfhoanlkjslfkajlsfalskdfaljhsdfkhasdjflaksjdflakjsdlhfahsljflsjdf

Followed by, "I'm trying to decide whether or not I'm taking your car to my doctor's appointment tomorrow."

alsfashdfokjalskdjflahsljflaskjdflajsdflaskf;alskdfljasldhflahlsajflakjdsf

I told her I had to go, then I sat down and cried, resolving myself to NOT give her ANY money for those closing comments.

And now my dog just shit on the floor right in front of me, and when I got done yelling at him, he came over and sat back down while I was typing this and WHY DOES HE SMELL LIKE PEANUTS AND CORN CHIPS AGAIN?

So, since last night's LOST premiere was actually TWO episodes, I split this into two posts. The first part of the post are the notes I took while I was re-watching the first part, and the second part is the SRS BSNS speculation and WHAT THE FUCKery that I thought about while watching. Yes, I skip ahead a bit because I've seen both episodes, but I tried to keep it confined to just this first part.

ANYWAY. LOST. AHHHHHH.
