| I found my tape recorder. It has a cassette in it from 2005. I guess from one of the fabled "nap parties" that were had. I'm learning a few things from this tape.
First of all, that I was very annoying on March 30-April 5th of my senior year.
My voice is way too nasally.
I'm currently listening to myself being scolded for continuing to blabber about Godzilla glowing in the dark, Waffle House, pancakes and Pokemon at 4 in the morning.
Main point of actually posting on here after the long time of not doing such a crazy thing: I'm saving this to my computer and will post it here if any of the people who were in this* want to listen in on how much I annoyed them.
*Timmo, Laura, Joey, Pennick, Sara, Lindsay, Kathryn, Jen, my grandmother.
March 30th - a Day at the Park, aftermath on Ohio Street.
April 2nd - the Pokemon marathon/nap party, finding Godzilla.

| A little update on the movie "Shoot 'Em Up" that I talked about in my previous post (you know, the one about Clive Owen and the carrot). Turns out it was written and directed by the same guy that made two and a half movies I really liked, Michael Davis.
He's the guy responsible for the films Eight Days a Week, 100 Girls, and 100 Women/Girl Fever. I have to say that all three of those are basically the same movie, just at different ages.
Here's my recap of each one.
Eight Days a Week: Nerd named Peter has a neighbor, Erica (played by Keri Russell), whom he has had a crush on since they were little kids. In the summer after their senior year of high school, he knows it is his last chance to express his true feelings with her before they go off to college and presumably never see each other again. He has a sex-obsessed best friend (whose goal is to suck his own wang after reading the Kinsey Reports), and Erica has a typical jock boyfriend. Well, Peter comes up with a great idea to sit in this girl's yard all summer until she finally accepts his offer for...well...sex. True romance, I'm tellin' you. It's pretty funny and I saw it the summer before 10th grade, when I was a recluse and stayed at my house all summer doing nothing, and this movie inspired me to actually talk to girls before I had to resort to a stupid idea like this. Also, it has some good humor in it, some of which relating to a model of baby Jesus being launched into the air.
100 Girls: Dorky college freshman named Matthew goes into an elevator, the power goes out while some girl is in there with him. She's a slut and has sex with him in there. That being his first, he decides that he's in love with her. However, and here's the twist, he had his laundry in hand when she walked in the elevator, so he never saw her face! And now he has to find out who it was. So, him and his sex-obsessed roommate (whose goal is to have the hugest peen possible) go on a search to find out who it is. In this search he goes through the entire girls dorm (approximately one hundred, hence the title) and discovers the beauty in everyone. He also discovers that two girls (Larisa "Alex Mack" Oleynik and Katherine "Grey's Anatomy, but I know her from Wish Upon A Star" Heigl) couldn't possibly be his girl since they are both secretly gay, and eventually hook up. In the end, he figures out Emmanuelle "Claire from 'Snow Day'" Chriqui was the slutty girl, even though she has a jock boyfriend. This movie didn't inspire me to do anything except not try to extend my wiener using weights. Although, it was pretty funny.
Girl Fever/100 Women: The slash is because this film was released in theaters (very shortly) as "Girl Fever." However, it was put on DVD and cable as "100 Women" in order to push the idea it was a "thematic sequel" to the prior film. Anyhow, this one has a struggling (presumably post-college) artist played by Chad Donella (from Final Destination) who has a foreign girlfriend. However, he pisses her off because he sucks or something and she dumps him. He then loses all of his art in the rain or something goofy like that and then some girl named Hope shows up and he gets happy again. They date for a while or something, and then she gets sad. He and his (surprise) sex-obsessed friend (this one just loves to masturbate, I forget what his sexual goal is if he even has one) go on a little hunt to find out why Hope is sad. Throughout all this, he draws on a lot of things, and makes friends with one of Hope's friend, played by an actress that I like to refer to as Jennifer "Dr. Cameron" Morrison (undoubtedly best part of the movie in hindsight). Anyhow, in the end there's a burp or fart competition between his friend and Clint Howard (yeah, Richie Cunningham's brother) to see who is the most disgusting. There's also one scene where the main character and his friend get their dongles put into a Chinese finger trap. Yeah, it goes there. This one is alright, I think it had some funny stuff, but the four times I saw it on TV, I guess I just didn't care enough. Ah, this one did make me wish I could draw well, because the guy just drew on everything.
Well, if you got this far, I apologize again for all the blabbering. Keep on fighting the man.
Also, fuck the WBC.

| I just saw some promo stills for an upcoming movie starring Clive Owen, Paul Giamatti, and Monica Bellucci called Shoot 'Em Up. Now, this title just seems like it has to be funny due to how action-packed it is. But anyways, the IMDb entry for it explains it as the following:
Plot Outline:
A man named Mr. Smith (Owen) delivers a woman's
baby during a shootout, and is then called upon to protect the newborn
from the army of gunmen.
That sounds great, I guess. Now, I really like Owen and Giamatti, and I'm going to pretend like I know who Bellucci is, so this seems like it could dollar theater-worthy. That was, until I saw this picture:
Do you see what Clive Owen is holding? That's right...it's a carrot. As far as I'm concerned, it has to be at least somewhat funny. So I guess that, uh...it's still only dollar theater-worthy.
What would be great is if right there, they made a Bugs Bunny v. Elmer Fudd allusion. It looks as though Owen's character came straight out of Children of Men. Does he look like that in every movie? I haven't noticed.
If you've gotten this far, I apologize. I just wanted to post a picture of Clive Owen holding a carrot while him and Paul Giamatti have a stand-off. All these words have just been time-filling crap.

Did you know that they are making a Ghostbusters III? Unfortunately (in my opinion, at least) it will be all CGI. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it would be weird to see the original Ghostbusters trying to fit in their old suits, but I just hate the idea of CGI remakes. For example, the new Turtles film. I won't be seeing that (until the dollar theater) even though I loved the Turtles. Thankfully though, Ramis and Aykroyd will still be writing the script, and it is supposedly about people coming back up from Hell. That could be fun. And maybe if they get the original voices, it could work. None of this is is new news. For example, in 2005, Ramis confirmed that the film was originally planned to have new recruits including Ben Stiller and Chris Farley; however, he hinted at it being permanently on the shelf. Then, in February of this year, Aykroyd said that the film was indeed in-development! He even said that Murray was on-board for the film! And according to fan e-mails or something goofy like that (all of this is from Wikipedia), Hudson would love to portray Winston again! Also, I guess the Hell-thing is most likely true.
Overall, I guess it wouldn't hurt me much if they got the original cast together. Hell, I would love to see all four of them get back in the suits and trap some poor souls, but if it has to be CGI...so be it.

| I got the final word from my stepmom over my mail. She claims to have gone through the stuff at the office, and says that there was no sign of my W2s. This is obvious bullshit, as I know they were sent, and I know we had gotten them at some point. She's just really bad when it comes to mail, telling the truth, or anything positive. At first, it didn't really piss me off entirely, since I was expecting her to act like a cunt over the whole thing and since I thought, "oh well, I can just call for them to send me a duplicate." However, I checked where I was hoping a number would be, and found that I have to talk to my managers. Since I hate talking to people, I have decided that this is the last straw.
I'm changing my address, and officially moving out of Fairport Harbor. This kinda feels odd since some of the things going on within the family make it look as though I should be there; however, I cannot stand this bullshit anymore. I've been waiting almost three years for my dad to fill out his part of the FAFSA forms, which is why I was forced into going to Lakeland. I have also been having to hear him bitch about my Lakeland fees, which we could get financial aid for if he just filled out his half of the fucking forms. I'm sick of the laziness, the lying, and the bitching.
I'll try and deal with this over Spring Break next week, and if I still get lied to and bitched at, I'm done with my family.
