The Execution Yard

This is a very telling blog title for many of the things I'm feeling today as well as yesterday.

Yesterday I sent out my computer that apparently has a damaged optical drive, and hasn't been reading CDs/DVDs/or anything of that sort. Felt like I was sending it to it's death. I miss it already, making it more difficult for me to post for you all. I tend to feel like posting at night and I only have access to a computer for part of the day. My laptop is beautiful, the love of my technological life, modified by a number of stickers covering every inch, down to the keyboard. Luckily, my warranty is good until 2011, I don't have to pay for shit I didn't break, and I'll have it back within a week or two. Soon enough before my ass is back on campus.

Also the Execution Yard is where I wouldn't mind sending a few people on holiday. What people?: Lazy people, Because "I can't refuse a two sandwiches before a turkey dinner" people, people who have bad conversation etiquette- they go two ways, "I always want to borrow money" people, "I don't like to be touched but I get on a crowded train" people, and a lot of other people this week. But I'm smiling, because that's me...and of course I stepped on the train guy's shoe to make me feel better. Sometimes I just decide to stop trying and let these people get what I have coming for them, 'cause mofo I'm so aggravated I'm throwing grammar out the window.

This weekend's plans are a mystery to me since, well, we never make plans. Things just happen. I'm going to enjoy being disconnected from a lot without the internet while I'm away, I'm sure as hell getting a lot more reading done. Currently reading About A Boy by Nick Hornby which, yes, was made into a movie starring Hugh Grant. Halfway through the book and it's funnier than the film. I have a few Hornby books waiting to get their turn and they will soon.

That's all I have for you darlings, I'm going to check my Twitter page now because I have many internet addictions.

Remember, speak truthfully and loud enough so everyone can fucking hear what you have to say. But also remember, opinion is a two way street.

Until next time. Until Sunday.

Take the next left.

Love,

Salt & Tylenol: Weekend Wizardry

First I would like to say RIP Frank McCourt. Frank passed away today at the age of 78 from Meningitis. Within all his amazing writing, he has written two of my favourite books. He is one of the inspirations that has kept my pen moving and it's a sad day for your humble narrator. "The sky is the limit. You never have the same experience twice." - Frank. Now here's to tonight's blog...

Добрый вечер, Buenas noches, Good evening...


Sorry you're getting this post so late lovelies. I'm finally shaking this headache/pain in my brain that I have had for the past, oh, 26 hours. Finally feel like a human being again. My computer also took a 3 foot drop off of my bed about an hour ago and I had to pop a piece back into place, so a small heart attack also threw me off posting.

As I expected, this weekend is what I needed. Friday night, had a great dinner at Chicago Uno's and caught a movie at 7:30. After the movie we headed to the beach to run around in the dark waves and just be with all the late night people out on the sand until about midnight or so. We even had a pick up footy game with a wiffle-ball we found floating the waves.

Can you guess what movie I saw? Bet not. I saw Harry Potter.

I know that's not like me, but a friend and I went to see the 6th installation of the Potter series: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And to tell you the truth, it was pretty bad ass. I mean, yes it's wizards and knee deep in the fictional world but I like the movies. This is coming from someone who read the first two books when she was 9 and quit after that. Dumbledore has a pretty kick ass scene as well that had me yelling "You're the fucking man!" in the theatre. The acting is improving as the main characters age and has more serious underlying stories than when they were the cute mini-wizards of years past. I still can't stand looking at Daniel Radcliffe - I apologize to all the fangirls out there but there's something about him that bothers me. Although, the part where he drank the Luck potion (whatever it's name was?) and he was going to see Hagrid (spelling?) absolutely had me rolling on the floor. Hilarious. All in all, a pretty good movie and I'd see it again.

Now, in theme of Harry Potter, there is another movie I would like to see. Cherrybomb. Rupert Grint, the actor who plays Ron Weasley in Harry Potter, also stars in this independent film that we may never get to see. So here is the trailer, it speaks for itself, instead of me giving you a synopsis. And if you want to see it, or just want to make me happy, help it get distributed in the U.S. or your home country by signing a petition to get it out there @ http://www.rupert-grint.us/wordpress/cherrybomb-distribution-campaign/

Cherrybomb Trailer


Well that was a long post. Thanks for sticking around through it all darlings. I'm off to watch Snatch and finally listen to some music now that my head is letting me. Hopefully I'll be seeing you tomorrow with some more news...

Where's your head at?

Just Another Saturday; Boredom, Beverages, & UFC 75

Hey-o

It's about 9pm this typical Saturday. I'm sitting in my friends bed while she is away in her college dorm, or not...maybe out with them boys ha ha. Laying back, I'm enjoying a diet coke with lime that I'm surprised I even like -first glass ever ha ha. I'm not one to drink a lot of carbonated beverages.

Tonight is the night of UFC 75: Champion v. Champion and I'm most definitely watching at the moment. The only thing I dislike about this as well as boxing is that you have to wait through many fights to get to the one you watched for in the first place. Tonight I'm not watching for this big unifying belt of pride and ufc - I want to see Bisping v Hammil. This is going to be a challenge for the Count and I want to see him continue his undefeated record by KO or TKO tonight.

This blog is going to be continuous because I have to sit here until the fight. Also fighting tonight is Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipović who I would also like to see walk away with a victory. Now I'm a very technical MMA fan, I watch it for pure enjyment hoping the fighters I support come out on top in these fights.

What am I doing here on a Saturday night? Staying in, yes. I know...she must have no life. Right? It's not lie that. I'm just getting into the groove of things with my friend that I spent my weekends moving away. I'll probably be online most of tonight....thi isn't even my computer. This is someone else's laptop, someone else's bed, phone connection, cup I'm drinking ou of, coke i'm drinking...haha it's not mine! Any of it!

Another thing about it being 9:30 on a Saturday night, no one is online to talk to sadly. There's 2 or 3 regulars I converse with and I'm missing them right now....haha. Kind of a slow day, ya know? Mike, Smurph, ...where are you guys? :( Well hope you're having some fun. There's only so much you can do on MySpace and the internet. Well, I'll check in from time to time...and also to let you know the fight results- of the big fights that is. I'm not paying that close of attention to the undercard although I am watching them.

I didn't know Paul Taylor was fighting tonight. Let's see how he does against "the Irish Handgrenade." Win given to Marcus Davis by Submission: Armbar. Damn.

Every time I see that Shoot'em Up trailer, I kind of want to see it.

And now for Mirko v Kongo. Let's see that highlight reel style head kick KO! Definitely interesting fight, hope you watched it. Win given to Cheich Kongo: Unanimous Decision. Damn.

For the fight I really care about, Michael Bisping v Matt Hammil. I'll stick around for the other fights but this is THE fight for me. Can' type now, must....watch...Bisping :) He seems a bit cocky/comfortable tonight haha but I love him. So much anticipation I had for this. End of first round and my heart is going...You can see why people have waited for this fight, be back next round. Bisping needs to step it up. If you haven't watched it -you must!

Win given to Michael Bisping; Split Decision NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson v Dan "Hollywood" Henderson

Not going into details...Unifying belt UFC/PRIDE Lightheavyweight Champion. Win given to Quinton Rampage Jackson;Unanimous Decision

Take care my friends,
