Bye bye, blog.

I've said before how in my seven years of journaling/blogging, I have bounced around from site to site and journal to journal and now to blog. Well, it should be no surprise that I'm about to take flight again. It's so much easier on livejournal though. You could set up a new journal, add the people you want, and voila! They are informed you have a new journal and know exactly where it is and just have to *click* add you back.

Not so much with blogs. Although I'm sure it's a major tip off when you start receiving the same sarcastic, smiley face filled comments from a different username at exactly the moment the other ones stop.

I don't know if I'm going to delete this blog (though that is inevitable, just a matter of when), but I already have my new one set up (no posts yet though). I may still update this one in case I ever have the need to post more pictures of donuts. My other blog is going to be different. Not about my life or about the drinks I get from work. Well, maybe about that.

My new blog will start next month. I still need to make a post here of the Jimmy Eat World concert that will be on Saturday (so excited!). After that...bye bye, blog.

Or maybe not bye but slight abandonment really.

We'll see.

Whatever.

"Friends" With

Does anyone else despise half of the people they are "friends" with on facebook? I sure do.

Death and the City

You know, first a sidenote, I thought my subject was extremely clever of me for about a nanosecond until I realized how unoriginal it was and how there are probably hundreds of other entries with the same title about the same thing. Boo.

So what is this thing? Heidi informed us in her blog that Cynthia Nixon let it slip that one of the characters will die in the upcoming Sex and the City movie.

So begins my countdown.

10. Carrie is not going to die. I am so sure of this.

9. Charlotte is also unlikely to die, though people could say she might die through child birth, but I find it more likely that the baby/fetus dies than Charlotte.

8. Samantha...hm...well, she did have cancer, so she is not a 100% safe case like Carrie on the not dying part. Though I doubt Kim would have agreed to do the movie if Samantha were to die.

7. Out of the four main girls for some reason I find it most likely that Miranda would be the one to go, but then again it was Cynthia who spilled the beans, so again, probably not. So basically, I really doubt any of the four will die.

6. Harry is my favourite significant other from the whole series. The writers put Charlotte through way too much during the series, so I don't think they would do that to her, so I'm glad to say Harry is probably safe. If he's not, OMG that would fucking suck balls...fucking suck hairy balls.

5. Steve seems to have cheated on Miranda from the trailer, but I don't think that warrants a death. Plus, everyone loves Steve...although he's a dick for cheating on her, but I'll eventually forgive him.

4. Ok! Now the first most likely candidate! Smith!!! Why? He's in the trailer for like two seconds! And then Samantha is never seen again with him...but...why kill him? It just doesn't seem to serve Samantha's character plotwise at all.

3. Magda?

2. Or how about some new character in the movie that was not in the series? That'll be disappointing. Plenty of random characters died in the series, so that wouldn't be anything new.

And now for my actual guess!!!

1. Before even hearing about this spoiler but rather from watching the trailer, I thought Big dies. It just seems too obvious that he chickens out on a wedding, so I thought, what would be less cliche and more, "WTF?! OMG!!" Plus, Carries reaction just seems way too dramatic even for SatC standards for it to be about Big getting cold feet.

Anyone else have any thoughts or predictions?

Hair hair everywhere!

I finally scheduled my dentist appointment. I haven't been in so long, and of course the receptionist pointed it out as well.

I decided to also schedule a hair appointment because I've reached my limit. It must go! Too many split ends, and last night on my way to Girls' Night Out with Heidi and Magda, my hair got caught in my purse straps like always, but this time it really got caught and almost ripped out a chunk. (By the way, Girls' Night Out was a lot of fun despite the alcohol being terrible and the vendors being disappointing, but I did buy a cute dress and got to hang out with some fabulous new friends!)

I went to the salon's website to see if it mentioned Locks of Love. It didn't. I wasn't surprised. Then I decided to venture over to the Locks of Love website.

I knew that you can't donate bleached hair, but when I donated my hair a few years ago, a chunk of it was bleached (and green to boot), but the stylist said it was ok. I think it was probably ok because the majority of hairs weren't bleached, whereas this time I don't think it would be ok because almost all of my hairs are bleached (at the ends...from bleaching a year ago and chopping not quite all of the bleached part off).

So I decided, I need to get rid of the bleached ends and then wait another few months before donating my hair. Oh, but I'm not about to pay for a damn hair cut. I haven't done that in years! The last few times I have cut my own hair, and either I'm really good at it or people just don't have the heart to tell me how stupid my hair looks.

Well, after work today, I whipped out my trusty (kinda rusty) scissors and started hacking away.

Of course I took the obligatory before and after pictures.

I have to say that I didn't mean for them to turn out so cliche. I was actually planning on making a very glamorous "before" picture and a really busted up "after" picture to be funny, but I just didn't have time for that. When I get it in me to cut my hair, I do it! But anyway, yeah, my hair was up in a messy bun while I was at work which is why my hair looks like a penis.



The last time I chopped a lot of hair off, I decided I didn't want layers anymore, but the bleached parts were there in layers, so by eliminating them it was either cut my hair really short or cut it in layers. I chose layers. It still took out a good amount of hair.



Doesn't it look like a person is drowning in my sink? And since it's my hair, to me it looks like I'm the one drowning. Kind of creepy actually....And now the after picture!



Still needs a little tweaking, but I think I got it pretty even. The top layers I cut too short, so my hair looked like a muffin, but I'm hoping that's just from hair shock and will go away.

On a completely unrelated note, why it is when I go to wordpress.com, all it says is "It works!"?

You know you watch too much ANTM when...

...you're working as a barista, and a customer pisses you off, you hand them their drinking saying in your head, "Choke on it!"

Ho...hum.

Lately my Firefox has been acting up. It'll just randomly stop allowing me to click on things, so I have to close it, but then when I try opening it up again, it tells me I can't because it's already running.

I thought it was because of those stupid Real Player pop up things that say "Download This Video", so I deactivated that. It didn't work.

Then I thought it was just a bug in the system, so I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. That didn't work.

Finally after days and days of having to constantly restart my computer, I figured it out.

STUPID DEL.ICIO.US!

Everytime I would tag something, THAT would mess up my browser. BOO!!!

And I was just starting to grow a dependency on it.

Oh, del.icio.us, how you have failed me.

I'm hesitant to try something else because what if it just causes the same problems?

On another note, I've had this blog for only five months now, and I'm already kind of over it. I have ideas for a new blog. So stay tuned for that!

So many movies, so little time...

It is time once again to talk about upcoming movie releases that I am excited about seeing. Last time I mentioned Definitely, Maybe (so far the only movie I have seen this year to get five out of five stars), 27 Dresses (it was cute), Jumper (ok, felt incomplete, Rachel Bilson wasn't a good choice), My Blueberry Nights (didn't get the point, slightly boring, weak beginning and end), Cassandra's Dream (didn't watch, probably won't), He Was a Quiet Man (very good story, well done), VeggieTales (didn't watch, kinda still want to), The Other Boleyn Girl (really good, highly recommend it), Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (didn't watch, hopefully will soon), Horton Hears a Who (I loved it), Be Kind Rewind (meh, it was ok), and Made of Honor, Speed Racer, Kung Fu Panda, and Sex and the City all haven't come out yet, so they are still on the list, and I am still excited.

So on with the next set!

First on the list, Leatherheads looks really good from the trailer. I love Renee Zellweger. I also love John Krasinski, but I've never watched a movie with him, so we'll see if I like him as a non-Jim.

I kinda want to see Prom Night just to make fun of it. I mean, just look at the poster alone. I'm already laughing at that. I feel like it's going to be a real winner.

Chaos Theory looks like a really good movie to watch when you just want to watch a movie (know what I mean? Like when you don't want to be scared or troubled or stumped by something that is just supposed to be entertaining?).

Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. 'Nuf said.

Deception is the one I am looking forward to most (out of the ones in this entry because um nothing compares to my excitement for Sex and the City). Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman? Hello! I'm there. Plus the story looks really good, and Michelle Williams looks good, too, and it's nice to see her do something different because she is one talented lady.

I love Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, so I am soooo looking forward to Baby Mama.

I have to see You Don't Mess with the Zohan because it's Adam Sandler.

The Love Guru looks so good! Mike Myers hasn't released a movie in so long (that wasn't Shrek). Hooray! Major bonus: Toronto Maple Leafs!

I'll stop there or else this will be way too long with all the summer movies. So yeah.
