i cannot resist…

yum... legolas...the power of “lord of the rings”! neither can anyone else in my house… we see any movie from the trilogy on the tv, so we turn to it JUST to watch ONE scene, and, 99.9% of the time, we end up watching the whole thing. but it’s all good. we just watched “the two towers”… the treemen are frikkin awesome! and legolas? oh my gawd! magnifique as usual… every time i see him fighting… or speaking… or standing still… i just go in a trance… mmm… he’s the sexiest elf ever… haha!

chan :)

(ftr: legolas is NOT the only reason i love LOTR. i’m not one of those girls that likes something “nerdy” just cuz some hot guy’s in it. although that usually helps, heehee… some may not agree with my definition of “hot”, but zachary quinto in the new star trek movie?… oh my gawd! i’ll have to resist not squealing in the theater when he comes on screen… heehee!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

daddy!!!

it’s my daddy’s birthday today!!! yay!!!

he took the day off work yesterday and today to relax… and he deserves it…

got some nice gifts for his birthday, too, including a handheld back massager that gets in deeeeeep… it’s just what he wanted… all the other ones we’ve gotten him were kinda weak. he tested it on me, my mum and brenndan, my brother, and it nearly broke our backs. so it’s perfect for him. :)

yay!!! love you, daddy!!!

movies galore…

watched a ton of movies lately… let’s see which ones i can remember, shall we? =)

(beware!!! long blog ahead!!!)

the curious case of benjamin button: it was interesting. got off to a slow start, & it was pretty drawn out overall, now that i think about it. it was nearly three hours long. and brad pitt didn’t come on screen until about an hour into it. but i still liked it. it was odd. & sad, of course (anyone can guess what happens at the end). & i was doin age calculations throughout the whole thing, too, tryna figure out how old he was at certain times, cuz he obviously never looked his age, haha… i can see why it isn’t winning a bunch of awards… the special effects were amazing, but the acting itself was pretty average. hmmm.

slumdog millionaire: i LOVED it!!! i really did. it was beautiful. i realize that it’s hard for me to not like movies set in india, but this movie really deserves all the hype it’s getting. it’s awesome… the acting was great, and the story itself was just… wow. the things the lead characters had to live through before becoming young adults was astounding… but not in a good way… they lived a really hard life… okay, i’ll stop now. don’t wanna give anything away. but you must see this movie!!!

the namesake: another indian movie. i liked it. i didn’t like its sort-of cliffhanger ending, but it was still a good movie, in my opinion. sad, but good. =)

the darjeeling limited: another weird movie. but i like weird movies. so whateva. i watched it. and i liked it. =)

ferris bueller’s day off: i’ve seen it before, but me and my brother brenndan watched it again the other day. we missed the beginning (about 20 minutes) cuz it was on tv. but it’s okay. watching it reminded me of just how much i loved it. i couldn’t stop laughing. or, more accurately, i couldn’t stop cackling… =D

and, probably the most embarrassing to recall:

wild wild west: yea. sad, right? me and brenndan watched the whole damn thing. all the while, we sat remembering the year it came out, and how i dragged my whole family to see it for my birthday… i had a will smith obsession in my younger years, so i said “we have to see it.” and we did. but it was’t until i watched it the other day that i realized how horrific it was. such baaaaaaad acting, from everyone, really. so bad that i couldn’t help but laugh. pure cheesiness. but we watched it. then we sang the theme song at the end, nearly word for word. and yes, brenndan sang, too. he’ll deny it, but he remembered more of it than i thought he would. ;)

a side note: that will smith obsession is why i have two of his albums AND the wild wild west soundtrack. and why, to this day, my family still looks at me for a reaction when will smith is in a movie with no shirt on (i, robot and i am legend have some of those scenes)… they giggle, like “ooh, cheyanne, look! it’s will, and he doesn’t have a shirt on! ooooooh!!!” it’s so silly. i don’t have that girly crush on him anymore. i’m all about shia these days…. *sigh*

anyways, enough of that. gonna stop here. i’ve watched more movies, like jumper (duuuumb… christensen was dry as usual, but i loved jamie bell, heehee), pretty in pink (typical 80’s teen movie… i love duckie, heehee), sixteen candles (another typical 80’s movie… i love jake ryan and “farmer ted”, heehee), the golden compass (narnia + harry potter, kinda… sfx were terrific), 27 dresses (typical romantic comedy; i’ve seen better… & heigl is annoying), and some other i can’t remember now. but i should really stop. gotta check on the rice-a-roni i’m cooking for dinner tonight… =)

laters!!!
chan =D

tonight’s dinner: fried fish, mixed veggies & a big ass potato. wow. i can’t eat it all.
update: my mum just saw this. she was shocked. then she slapped me upside my head. i like to think it was a love slap. haha! :)

i shouldn’t be allowed to carry cash.

my aunt gave me and my brother $75 each for christmas this year. usually, she puts it on target gift cards for us, but she didn’t have time to go to target, so we got it in cash. i didn’t think it was a problem. but damn. it really was.

with the $75, here’s what i’ve bought so far, in no particular order. readyyy?

1.a. i paid for my driving class/pre-licensing course. a class i HAVE to take before i take my road test. figured i’d paid for it instead of begging my parents for even more dough. a very good investment, i think. (that was $30. my balance is now $45. not bad, i guess.)

1.b. when i went on my break in the middle of the driving class, i went to wendy’s for lunch. ($5 to fill my belly. now i have $40. still okay. kinda. ehh…)

2. i went to the movies twice before the new year. once with the whole fam (the day the earth stood still = it was aight) and once with just my brothers (the tale of despereaux = it was aight). i bought the popcorn combos both times. and a bag of skittles. which sucks for me. everyone ate the popcorn, and i was left broke while my brothers got to hold on to their christmas money even longer. (grrrrrr…) but my parents usually pay for everything when we go to the movies, so it was the least i could do. right? right? (both popcorn combos were about $12, and the skittles were about $5. yea. 5 frikkin dollars. the total for that junk is approximately $29. i have $11 left. frak.)

3. my brothers and i ordered a pizza one day when we were home all day. we all pitched in exactly $6. very fair. and the pizza was very gooood. (out of the $11, i now have…… oh yeah, only $5!!! frak times infinity.)

so, my cash is pretty much gone. well, not really. i had a little money before christmas, and my parents gave me money for christmas, too, which i’m desperately hanging on to. so i’m not completely broke. yet. i’m just annoyed that not even two whole weeks after christmas, over half of my christmas money is gone. grrr. and i still wanna set aside at least $40 for a couple of other things, one of them being my linkin park underground 8 membership renewal… i HAVE to get it. it’s the exclusive fan club for frikkin linkin park! (*cue the screams of excitement*)

chan =O

hey! a sidenote: by the end of the month, if i have ANY money left over, can someone throw me a party? cuz that’d be a real miracle. =)

a teeny weeny dilemma…

my fingernails are growing back. i dunno if i should cut them or not. i like em short, cuz they’re very easy to maintain. when they’re long, i have to put nail hardener on it so they don’t break. then i get tempted to color them. then i don’t end up liking the color, so i take it off with nail polish remover. then my nails get weak and break anyway. buuuut… it takes a while for them to grow out, and when they grow without breakin, i feel bad cutting them short all over again. that sense of accomplishment goes away. :(

ah, whatever. i’m cuttin em. i love my short nails.

so yes, you’re right. this post was completely pointless. i’m gonna go start posting pics from christmas at my grandaunt’s house. good times, as always! =D

laters!

what a chunky day! but in a good way. =D

let’s see. my day started off really slow. our landlady had to send over two different repair guys, one for the heat and one for our oven. i didn’t have skool anyways, and my parents didn’t want me home alone with the repair guys, so brenndan stayed home from skool. then they figured bha should stay too, so we didn’t have to worry about takin him to skool and pickin him up. we were told that the first repair guys was comin around 9:30, so we all had to be up early. ugh. i think he came around 11ish. typical for him to be late. the repair guys almost always are. the other guy came around 1:30, which was when he was expected, so that was great. when he left, brenndan went to his skool to try and drop off some paperwork, but the person he needed to see wasn’t there. ugh. me and bha stayed home and played games, me on the ps3, him on the computer. the three of us also played a lot of rock band 2 today. we even unlocked “one step closer” by linkin park! so exciting!

anyways, that was the beginning of the day. but the part of the day i was waiting for was when virginia came to visit! she moved to florida after we graduated from high school, which was a year and a half ago, but she’s gonna be in the tri-state area for the winter holidays this year, so she just HAD to swing by brooklyn and see all her peeps, haha. we met up at christine’s house, we being me, virginia, christine, laura and laurie. yay! it was sooooo fun. christine, laura and i were there by ourselves for a bit, playin the wii and crackin up at all the silly but very kool minigames. then virginia came (yay!), and we talked about a bunch of stuff. then laurie came after work with her sister (yay!), and we talked some more, haha. virginia couldn’t stop staring at everyone, cuz she hadn’t seen us in so long, and i don’t blame her: it’s always great to have all of us together, and i wouldn’t say it’s rare that it happens, but a lot of the time someone has something else to do that gets in the way. i’m lucky brenndan was home with bha today, or else i would have had that dilemma…

anyways, we had lots of laughs and more good times to store in our memory banks. we took some pictures, came up with another spontaneous dance, courtesy of christine, haha, and then virginia, laura, laurie and her sis all left. i stayed at christine’s for a little longer, then i went home, too. i didn’t realize how tired i was until i sat on my couch. i ate a bunch of cheez doodles and then i went right to sleep, haha. i woke up after 12am, and realized that my fam let me sleep there, all sprawled out, for over three hours. awwwww. how sweet!

also, my mum found out we unlocked “one step closer” and “everlong” on rock band 2, so we had a little session so she could sing them. but it was 1am, and my dad wasn’t too happy about that. but it’s LP and the foo fighters! it couldn’t wait! haha!

so yea. i think it was a chunky day, but all of it was awesome. we have a working oven, i have a warm room (sans the electric space heater), we made progress on rock band 2, AND i got to see my friends again! yay! epic win!
