double feature day.

today i went and saw:

I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the later but gregward said it was only because i haven't seen any of the cartoons or anything. i think it was because i was expecting it to be a lot more epic then it actually was and i didn't realize it was made for kids. so, i'm sure that if i was like 10-12 i would have enjoyed it more. but it wasn't horrible. just not exactly my kind of movie.
it was sort of fun watching two jackson rathbone movies in one day, although in the last airbender his acting was a little... less then wonderful. i prefer him in twilight.
as for eclipse, it was great. (the previews were one of the best parts! the new harry potter trailer and the voyage of the dawn treader trailers were on eclipse. it was pure awesomeness) besides the movie itself there were some crazy wonderful stunts and camera shots that i really enjoyed (because yes, i look at things like camera angles and stunts in movies.) i must say new moon and eclipse have redeemed the twilight saga as far as movies go. they should re-make twilight right now and have it be as good as the last two movies have been or else remove it from the series completely because quite frankly its not worthy of its twilight name. and don't even get me started on breaking dawn. i don't even like the book and i think the movies should stop with eclipse.

anyway. i think that's plenty of vampire talk for now. - tomorrow is the 4th of july and i'm stoked. the 4th has always been one of my favorite holidays no matter what we've done and so i already know its going to be great tomorrow. i hope you all have as much fun as i do.

be safe. have fun. stay awesome.

here's what you missed.

well, i'm back. officially.

the crazy thing is i didn't really even plan a hiatus but life happened and so i decided to enjoy my break which, can i just tell you, has been nothing short of wonderful. - i even took a break from the book i'm writing. (oops!)

don't get me wrong, i love blogging, but not doing it for awhile has been super nice too. 

anyway, since i don't have endless amounts of interesting things to write about, i'll just fill you in on what has been going on in my life since my last actual post (which was on may 26th... wow.)

my younger brother, "gregward" (new nick name for the brother. he looks identical to r-patz.), graduated from high school (woot! woot!) and since my sister came up for that from st.g i decided to go back with her and call it quits in idaho. see i've been anticipating this move for a few months now but the last time i moved away from home it was a monstrous disaster which involved many, many tears and me high tailing back to mommy and daddy's house with my tail between my legs. not. good. 

so this time i decided to do things a little differently. i decided to take an "extended vacation". aka leave like i was going on vacay and not head back until it was just to get the rest of my stuff. so far this has been working out much better than the last move. i've only cried twice and my separation issues have been much less. thank goodness. 

anywhooser. so, i've been in utah for the last few weeks. in that time i have:

seen:

prince of persia 

which is like, one of the best. movies. ever. if you haven't seen it, stop reading this blog and go watch it right. now. - i've seen it twice already.

 {via}

iron man 2 

also a great flick. the first one was still better but this is definitely worth seeing.

 {via}

robin hood 

again, great film. its the before story of how robin hood becomes an outlaw and i loved it. and i don't even like russel crowe! 

p.s. mark strong was awesome in this. awesome. 

i've also been house hunting. (p.s. found an apartment and we move in next week. yayyyy!) and hanging out with long lost friends, eating froyo at my fave froyo place and cupcakes at my fave cupcake place, shopping (oops. i should have avoided this!), searching for jobs (applied at forever 21 the other day. i. will. work. there.) and just having an all around good time. 

i've also recently been introduced and addicted to this:

 how i met your mother.

i know its on like its 5th season already but i just wasn't interested. then the roomie, kim, suggested we watch it and i obliged. now i'm kind of addicted and love it.

its like will and grace and friends smooshed into one show. not to mention (thanks to neil patrick harris) its hilarious. i recommend it if you're looking for a new show to watch. 

other then that, i start school on the 24th (yikes!) and have a lot of moving to do (which means a lot of decorating to do. can i get a ya-hoo? i ♥ decorating.)

what has everyone been up to while i was away?

i've been trying to catch up on all the blogs but its a lot of reading for just one night!!!

peace out everyone. 

stay wonderful.

p.s. welcome to all my new followers!!! leave a comment, tell me about yourself! i'd love to check out your blog.

 

the month of love.

february is the month of l♥ve.

i'm all for l♥ve.

l♥ve is a many splendid thing,

l♥ve lifts us up where we belong,

all you need is l♥ve!

but there is something i'm particular about when it comes to this l♥vely holiday...

chick flicks.

don't get me wrong. i like chick flicks,

but when it comes to some, they'll be staying on the hollywood video shelves rather than making their way into my dvd player.

in spirit of the holiday of l♥ve, here are 5 movies i will be watching and 5 movies i definitely wont be watching:

WILL

{lets start with the good shall we?}

1. pride and prejudice

{l♥ve the old one with collin firth as mr. darcy, but for time's sake, the new one is just as appropriate and entertaining.}

2. breakfast at tiffany's

{one of my all time faves. also, a beautiful l♥ve story that's as hopelessly romantic as romeo and juliet itself. and what girl doesn't l♥ve her tiffanys!}

3. the notebook

{of course! at least one nicholas sparks movie is always on the list aint it? message in a bottle, a walk to remember, nights in rodanthe, or the newly released dear john... take your pick.}

4. anything drew barrymore

{along with at least one of nicholas sparks' movies being on the list, its always safe to include a drew barrymore flick as well. ever after, 50 first dates, fever pitch, the wedding singer, music and lyrics, etc.}

5. twilight

{okay this may just be an excuse for me to watch twilight, but it is a good love story. cut me some slack.}  

(others just as good that weren't on the list: hope floats, win a date with tad hamilton, you've got mail, casablanca, while you were sleeping, sleepless in seattle, my life in ruins, cinderella, gone with the wind, the little mermaid, snow white, aladdian, bewitched, what happens in vegas, sabrina, the holiday, beauty and the beast etc. there are billions.)

WONT

{okay now for the, in my opinion, worst l♥ flicks ever.}

1. p.s. i love you

{this movie dragged on, and on, and on.}

2. ghost of girlfriends past

{i paid $1.50 to see this and i wanted my money back afterwards. besides the fact that matthew mcconaughey makes me want to gouge my eyes out, this movie was slow, predictable and all around blck.}

3. the lake house

{sandra bullock's only flaw... sorry but i just wasn't feeling this one. i prefer kate and leopold.} 

4. made of honor

{mmmmm.... i don't know what else to say other than i pretty much hated this movie.}

5. picture perfect

{i give this movie huge thumbs down... amoung other jenn aniston flicks. i like her but i also considered putting the break up and rumor has it on the WONT list. also, if i never had to watch a kevin bacon film again i'll die happy.}

(others i considered: titanic, elizabeth town, lucky 7 etc.)

now that you all know what i'll be viewing this month,

what will you and wont you be watching to celebrate valentines?

i believe in a thing called love,

{all pics found via google.com/images.}

p.s. 6 more days to enter the give-a-way!

so many mooooovies.

okay there are 13 movies to date that i'm STOKED for, that come out in 2010.

some more than others, but all are sounding good right about now.

so, what will i be seeing in 2010?

well, since you asked...

ugh. so many i know.

what are you excited for in 2010???

lets go to the movies, lets go see a show,

confession.

i've seen new moon twice this weekend...

does that make me obsessed?

(...that's in addition to the one time i saw it opening night...)

its not my fault alright?

i got invited. and i couldn't say "no."

that would be rude of me!

(...but i liked saying "yes"...)

but you know what i've concluded about both edward and jacob?
they have horrible taste in girls.

bella swan deserves a huge thumbs down.
(sorry kristen.)

she's selfish, whiney, and has pretty much no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

blck.

pick me instead. :)

its always been him,
