True Blood

Funny how after Twilight's success we have True Blood come out. After I watched the first episode and did some research I found out it was based off a book series, I decided to read the book Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. It was actually really good! Very hot too! I like it better than Twilight, but Twilight is still great in its own ways. After I read the first book Iwent out and bought the rest of the series. If you like vampires and the supernatural then I'd totally recommend this for you! The show does differ in some ways from the book but I think it'll make it on it's own. It doesn't drift too far from the book. I love Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse. I think she does a great job. They're marketing campaign was pretty good too.

Quarantine!

I went to go see Quarantine with some of my friends. I have to say that's the scariest fucking movie I've seen in awhile. (Suprisingly it didn't make me sick since it was made like the camera movements of Blair Witch and Cloverfield.) I knew it was a movie about zombies and I figured it'd have a lame plot like Dawn of the Dead but actually it was a very interesting plot. Instead of zombies appearing from out of nowhere or hell or something it was a biological attack from a doomsday cult. They actually made the Rabies virus ten times worse than what it was. One of the characters that's a vet actually said that he thought the people were showing signs of rabies. Victims started to show signs of infection very quickly.

Thanks to this movie I look at rabies totally different now. I'm not even vaccinated. (Costs $600--fuck that!) Rabies is a really painful way to die too. The period between infection and the first flu-like symptoms is normally two to twelve weeks, but can be as long as two years. Soon after, the symptoms expand to slight or partial paralysis, cerebral dysfunction, anxiety, insomnia, confusion, agitation, abnormal behavior, paranoia, terror, hallucinations, progressing to delirium. Hydrophobia is usually a big sign. (Inability to swallow and hypersalivation.)

In Rabies: The Facts, Kaplan et. al. describe several typical cases, including one of a 23 year-old Englishwoman:

“On June 17, 1981 she was bitten on the ankle by a dog in New Delhi. On August 18, about two months later, she experienced the first prodromal symptoms. She became anxious and depressed, and it became impossible for her to drink more than small sips of liquid. While sleeping, she frequently sat up in bed suddenly, terrified. On August 19, she became confused, hallucinated, and was incontinent of urine. On August 20, she was unable to eat or drink and was taken to the hospital where she hallucinated and screamed in terror. Misdiagnosed as a psychiatric case, she was injected with a tranquilizer and sent home, however she repeatedly woke up screaming in fear and became so wild and agitated that her husband felt he could not deal with her by himself and took her to her mother's house. She remained terrified, hallucinating and screaming in horror throughout the night. She had no water for almost three days. She fell into a coma the next morning, and died on August 23.”

Twilight Saga

Okay, so I just got done reading the Twilight series. Twilight itself was pretty good. One of my favorite books. New Moon was okay, but Edward wasn't in most of it and Bella was wallowing too much in her self pity. Yes, I know how bad it hurts but hell, I would've hooked up with Jacob. He was there for her. I liked the fact that she turned into kind of an adreline junkie. What irked me though is the fact she could cliff dive, walk up to strangers, and ride motorcycles, but she feared impending death from vampires. Where's the logic there? She claims she wasn't suicidal but come on! If she was just an adrenaline junkie then being that close to the vamps would've been a rush. Hello?

Onto Eclipse...that one was good. The turmoil from being with Edward but hurting Jake at the same time. Good drama. Loved that there was a battle at the end too. Kinda iffy on the whole this is the first of whatever though! Suddenly because Bella is the center of focus in the vampire world all this new shit/first of something starts happening?! Starting to sound like a fanfic to me. Speaking of fanfic that's what the last book was! My thought was OMG I paid to read this when someone could've just written it on FFNET. Yes, I still enjoyed it, but there were so many weak spots. I didn't like the Jacob POV much. I understand it's need though since Bella was pretty much incapacitated and we needed to see what was going with the pack. Here's where Bella is def a Mary-Sue though: she has such control over herself. Drinks blood as a human. Can immediately control her mental shield. The ending was pretty anticlimatic too. Come one I wanted a battle and at least one of the Volturi to die/be vanquished.

On another note, I heard that this isn't the last of the Twilight series. Meyer may be planning to write other books, but Edward and Bella won't be the center of it. I'm thinking either some of the other vampires, the pack, or Jacob/Nessie. I'm interested to see what she comes up with. And although I've ranted for the most part on the bad things of Twilight overall I do like it. It just has some weak points. I'm really pissed about Midnight Sun though. So I guess I'll read the manuscript she has on her site. So sad. Peeps if ya just wait the best is yet to come. Now it may never!!! I'm the most impatient person I know, but come on! I could've waited. That's what fanfiction is for!!! Read it or write it buddy! I might come up with my own Twilight fanfic. I just need to develop a consistent character and background before hand otherwise it'll be crap. That's it for now.

Jade: Mary Sue?

So I decided to take another Mary Sue test for Jade, my mutant X-man. One of them said she was a Mary Sue, but I took a different one and it said she was far from it! Here's the results:


Jade is suspiciously similar to you as you'd like to be. She is not at all cool; in fact, she thinks cool is a temperature reading, and when she says "Oh, I just put on whatever old thing's lying around," she means "on the floor, where I threw it last night - but I turned the underwear inside out first." There's never been anything special about her that she could see; boy, is she in for a surprise. She's got no emotional scars to speak of. And she's gotten no slack from you.

In general, you care deeply about Jade, but you're smart enough to let her stand on her own, without burdening her with your personal fantasies or propping her up with idealization and over-dramatization. Jade is a healthy character with a promising career ahead of her.

Pregnant Dream...?!

So I got an email from my cousin and in it she told me that my mom and aunt had a dream of me being pregnant and then she asked me if I was pregers! HELL NO!!! Well then I woke up today from a dream of me being pregnant and having a child. What was really weird is that on one hand I wanted to keep it but on the other I broke down and cried cuz I didn't want it. Hm...maybe I should be more careful (not that I have sex a lot anyway.)

Dream Dictionary:

Pregnant

To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.

If you are really pregnant and having this dream, then it represents your anxieties about the pregnancy. Women in the first trimester of their pregnancy tend to dream of tiny creatures, fuzzy animals, flowers, fruit and water. In the second trimester, dreams will reflect your anxieties about being a good mother and concerns about possible complications with the birth. Dreams of giving birth to a non-human baby are also common during this period of the pregnancy. Finally, in the third trimester, dreams consists of your own mother. As your body changes and grows, dreams of whales, elephants and dinosaurs and other larger animals may also start appearing at this stage.

Birth

To dream of giving birth or see someone else giving birth, suggests that you are giving birth to a new idea or project. It also represents a new attitude, fresh beginnings or a major upcoming event. Alternatively, the dream may be calling attention to your inner child and the potential for your to grow. A more direct interpretation of this dream, may represent your desires/ anxieties of giving birth or the anticipation for such an event to occur.

Baby

To see a baby in your dream, signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings. Babies may symbolize something in your own inner nature which is pure, vulnerable, and/or uncorrupted. Babies may represent an aspect of yourself that is vulnerable and helpless. If you dream that you forgot you had a baby, then it suggests that you are trying hide your own vulnerabilities; You do not want to let others know of your weaknesses.

If you dream that you are on your way to the hospital to have a baby, then it signifies your issues of dependency and your desire to be completely care for. Perhaps you are trying to get out of some responsibility. If you are pregnant, then a more direct interpretation may simply mean that you are experiencing some anxieties of making it to the hospital when the time comes.

Things to Do in Hell:

• Take Hell over
• steal a wheelchair
• tell a "sped" why he's in hell
• go to a Manson concert
• throw a party
• make the Pearly White gates swing that way
• take over Heaven

"Sawyer's" Commercial

So I just saw Josh Holloway's "newest" commercial. Yum!





Makes me want to buy it! ^_^

Star Wars: Clone Wars

I went and saw Clone Wars yesterday. It was okay. I think it was more kid oriented than for adults. Overall I'd say 3 stars. This was more of an episode than a movie to me. It should've just been aired on tv with the rest of the series that's coming out this fall. The plot to have Anakin have a young Padawan and for them to retrieve Jabba's infant son Rotta was okay. Rotta was cute though. He did look like a little slug come to think of it. In my opinion it would've been better to have the first Clone Wars movie from Cartoon Network than this one. I do like the idea of Anakin having a Padawan and one so young. Anakin seems very attentive and caring for his Padawan. One thing that was really dumb was Jabba's uncle, Ziro. That character was a little over the top. Ridiculous character in my opinion, especially his voice. Anyways, in my opnion, if you're not a total die hard fan of Star Wars just wait to rent the movie or for it to broadcast on tv; don't waste your money on seeing it in theaters.

Hey... California listen up... MO is where its at!

- I too can wear sandals all year long... plus I can put on boots to stomp your feet and I won't even stick out.

- You may be able to go to the "beach" instead of the "shore"... but can you go to the drive thru "Beer Barn?" What now surfer boy?

- You're chicks aren't way hotter than ours... they are almost equal... and thats only due to silicone, saline, botox, lasers and hair dye... We have the real ones and they can beat yours up.

- We're taught to say "Yes Sir" and "Yes Ma'am" and respect our elders because of it. We also say "Howdy" and "fixin" and "Yinz" are pretty much recognized right away anywhere in the world :) We're famous

- You may know what real cheese and avocados taste like... but I know what 100% Grade A Angus Beef tastes like. Who wants avocados and cheese when you can have steak and potatoes?

- Haha... Meth can be made, done, and sold in Missouri and no one gives a rat's ass.

I think you're watching too much tv. In Hollyweird, You know... where shows are MADE? Maybe that's why you have no idea what it is like HERE for real!

- You can pick up Real Mexican food 24 hours a day huh... But can you still go to a Mom and Pop grocery and get fresh homemade baked goods made by the owner every morning?

- Football is a religion, not a sport

- In Missouri, football means football, not soccer.

- Missouri is the best. Ever heard of St. Louis? It's the Gateway to your ass, bitch!

- In Missouri, 65 MPH means 65 MPH, because here, the police actually give a shit, and have time to catch speeders because they aren't all out looking for Lindsay Lohan to hit a tree or busting gang bangers for drugs every 5 seconds!
