Trailers I Saw #2

For some reason, there seemed to be more trailers than normal showed.
Nathan, did I miss any?

  • Takers. Meh.
  • Buried. If the whole movie takes place inside the coffin, I’ll pass.
  • Saw 3D. Considering I’ve never seen any of the Saw movies, I’ll take a pass on this one too.
  • Tron Legacy. Naturally I’m going to see this.
  • Red. Helen Mirren wielding heavy duty guns? Who wouldn’t want to go see that?!?
  • Machete. Pass. I just can’t buy Danny Trejo as a “good guy.”
  • The American. The trailer didn’t grab me, but it might be worth a dvd rental in the future.
  • Devil. I was into the trailer until I saw “from the mind of M.Night” and then I thought, “Oh lord have mercy. I’ll pass.” Nathan pointed out that it’s only “from the mind of” and not “written or directed by” so we’ll see.

Conversations With Dad

I call my parents every week (usually Mondays) while driving home from work. What happens is that I talk to my mom first for a few minutes, then she goes to tell my dad that I’m on the phone (and I have to listen to a “Xinh’s on the phone” “Who?” “Your daughter’s on the phone.” “Which one?” “Just pick up the phone!” exchange every.time. I always tell my Dad “first of all, your favorite daughter and second of all, who else calls you every Monday?”), then I talk to both of them for a few minutes which gets chaotic because sometimes they talk at the same time about different things, then my mom decides to go do something else, and I end up talking to my dad for the rest of the phone call. Most of the time, the conversations are mundane: weather in Huntsville, weather in Los Angeles, what we’re watching on tv, what they did over the weekend, etc. Other times, we get into more odd topics. Once, we spent 30 mintues discussing a tv character’s personality flaws. Another time, we talked about my mom’s cooking and her best and worst dishes. Last week, we talked about how to rebuild society in case of an apocalyptic event. This week, we talked about how many fights I used to get into when I was a kid and how glad my folks were that I outgrew that behavior by high school (at least, high school in Huntsville; I got into a scrap when I was in high school in Panama) and then the fights my dad got into when he was a kid. I think I might have to do another blog entry about my “fights” as a kid.

Your Cheatin’ Heart

If you were friends with a couple, and one half of the couple cheated and you found out about it, would you tell the other half about it? Discuss.

Dream On, Dream Away

1. When is your usual bedtime?
Anywhere between 10:00pm and 11:00pm.
2. How many hours of sleep do you need?
At least 8, but I never get it because I’m usually up at least 2 or 3 times in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.
3. Do you usually remember your dreams?
Yes. I have some strange dreams and they stick with me.
4. How many pillows do you sleep with?
2. It used to be more but I have the dog and he’s pretty fluffy.
5. What is the wildest dream you’ve ever had?
There’s no way I could describe one of my dreams here. Although, I think at my old blog (the Pitas one), I did describe one.

13 Shows I’m Watching This Summer

  1. Minute To Win It.
  2. God, I love this show! I so want to have a Minute to Win It party!!! I just need a place big enough to do it.

  3. Wipeout.
  4. You know I loves me some obstacle course game shows. The commentary from the 2 Johns and Jill Wagner crack me up.

  5. Warehouse 13.
  6. I don’t really know why I’m still watching this show. I don’t really like any of the characters (god, I especially dislike Artie) and none of the adventures are really catching my attention.

  7. Covert Affairs.
  8. Like Alias for this generation.

  9. Burn Notice.
  10. I really do want Michael to get unburned but then what would happen?

  11. Haven.
  12. It’s supposed to based on a Stephen King novel, but I read the Wikipedia entry for it and I don’t see how it’s related. I’m only 4 epidsodes in and it’s kind of boring but I’m gonna stick with it for a little while longer.

  13. So You Think You Can Dance.
  14. I love the dancing, but I’m not really digging the whole new format. I like the Top 10 instead of the Top 20 but I don’t like the dancing with the All Stars. It means too many dances in the Dancers same style.

  15. The Closer.
  16. I like the new offices and how Brenda’s moved everything around to suit her needs. I like the twist with her maybe becoming the new Chief of Police.

  17. Rizzoli & Isles.
  18. I really like Angie Harmon and the chick from NCIS (Sasha Alexander? I’m too lazy to go look it up.) and they have a good buddy chemistry.

  19. Shaq Vs.
  20. Has Shaq every won a challenge? I don’t think so but I like that he tries and is a good sport about losing.

  21. Unnatural History.
  22. Not a bad show for something on the Cartoon Network. Sometimes the main character bugs but I guess he’s supposed to since he’s a teenager.

  23. Leverage.
  24. Love the whodunit stuff.

  25. Eureka.
  26. I like the Back to the Future twist they’ve got going on this season. I’m wondering if the end game is to change it all back or leave it as-is.

A Twist On An Old Classic

The idea of the 3 Word Wednesday was for me to make a sentence/paragraph/story/whatever using 3 random words. I’m gonna switch it up. Instead, I’m going to post 3 pictures and I want you to list 3 words that come to mind when you see the pictures.

Through The Years, Part 2

It’s not an official Ten On Tuesday topic, but it’s 10 items so I’m catergorizing it as such.

20 years ago, I . . .
had graduated from high school and was working at a dance and exercise clothing store.

15 years ago, I . . .
had graduated from college and was working at a college/university job listing service.

10 years ago, I . . .
had moved from Sherman Oaks to North Hollywood and was still working at the job listing place.

5 years ago, I . . .
was laid off at the job listing place and spent the next year temping and hanging out with Nathan.

2 years ago, I . . .
quit the job at the employment agency and got a new job at a pipe manufacturing company.

1 year ago, I . . .
kept getting put into the hospital for stomach issues that still haven’t been resolved.

So far this year, I . . .
hosted a photo scavenger hunt and was in the hospital yet again.

Yesterday, I . . .
worked, then watched tv.

Today, I . . .
did the same thing as yesterday.

Tomorrow, I . . .
will probably do the same thing.
