I believe in Harvey Dent.

The Dark Knight= awesome.

Thankfully, I got tickets to the midnight showing which was SO MUCH FUN. The line stretched outside of the theater, down a flight of steps and around a huge fountain outside. We had people at the front of the line, though, who got us seats in the center of the center section. Epic win. :)

Seeing it again in 2 hours!

I look through catalogs and wonder what dining set defines me as a person.

I don't actually do that. ^^ It's a line from the movie Fight Club, starring Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and Helena Bonham Carter. Great movie as long as you don't mind violence and cursing. And a bit of nudity.

Anyway. Thought it was about time to write another blog...

THE EPIC SUMMER OF MOVIES:

I've seen
-Iron Man (5 times)
-The Incredible Hulk (2 times)
-Get Smart (2 times)
-You Don't Mess With The Zohan
-Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
-Hancock

And I'm seeing Hellboy 2 tonight, and I've already got my Dark Knight midnight ticket, and of course there's the X FILES!!! Which I plan on seeing at least five times.

It's been a good summer for movies.

And I'm finally getting around to working on the second draft of my PLAY for a PLAYWRITING CONTEST in which I can win 200 bucks. Not a bad plan. :)

Alright. Bye bye.

Give me a scotch. I'm starving.

My newest creation.

Tony Stark + Coldplay = WIN.

Things that make me happy.

- I saw Iron Man for the fifth time last night and finally stayed after the credits to see the bonus scene with Nick Fury. Totally worth the wait.

-I have a nice tan from going out on my best friend's boat this weekend.

-I got a season pass to Six Flags (a really awesome amusement park) because I've become a roller coaster junkie.

-I had last night off from rehearsal!! Which means I went to bed before eleven for once.

-I'm thisclose to being done with my play. But the ending is always the hardest.

-I went all fangirl this afternoon and found a special edition Iron Man shirt from Comic Con on eBay that I'm totally bidding on. And I want a Stark Industries shirt. And a mug. Although I'm considering just printing the logo out and putting in one of those thermoses that they sell at Starbucks that you can put your own picture in.

-I went all nerdy as well and watched the entire "When We Left Earth" miniseries that I tivoed off of the Discovery Channel.

-I bought a superbly cute dress from Urban Outfitters with a drop waist and a bunch of little stars.

Even more meaningless quotes from a movie you've never heard of.

Except Ais. We've talked at length about this movie.

Well, I talked AT her.

Oh well. Back to the status quo...

...All quotes are from "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" starring Robert Downey Jr., Val Kilmer, and Michelle Monaghan. I missed some funny ones.

Harry: This is every SHADE of wrong. (My new favorite phrase)

Perry: This isn't good cop, bad cop. This is fag and New Yorker.

Perry: Why in pluperfect hell would you pee on a corpse?

Perry: My $2000 ceramic Vektor my mother got me as a special gift. You threw in the lake next to the car. What happens when they drag the lake? Do you think they'll find my pistol? (I swear, the delivery of that entire section is brilliance) Jesus. Look up "idiot" in the dictionary. You know what you'll find?
Harry: A picture of me?
Perry: No! The definition of the word idiot, which you fucking are!

Harry: And that's how she got to the same party as me. Oh shit. I skipped something. Damn it. This whole robot bit. I made a big deal, then I like totally forgot. Fuck, this is bad narrating. Like my dad telling a joke. "Oh, wait back up. I forgot to tell you the cowboy rode a blue horse." Fuck. Anyway, I don't know if you want to see it now, but here's the fucking robot stuff for your viewing pleasure. Can I say "fuck" more?

Perry: Go. Sleep badly. Any questions, hesitate to call.
Harry: Bad.
Perry: Excuse me?
Harry:Sleep bad. Otherwise it makes it seem like the mechanism that allows you to sleep...
Perry: What, fuckhead? Who taught you grammar? Badly's an adverb. Get out. Vanish.

Harry: Doesn't that suck? I just hit you for no reason.

A somewhat momentous occasion.

I did my first somewhat daring thing today. And once you hear it, you're going to think "Oh, come on. That's the opposite of daring.". But it was daring for me. As I tend to get shy sometimes.

So I had Singing in the Rain rehearsal tonight, and it ended SUPER early (8:45) and I just happened to remark "Wow. I really love not having a drivers license" in front of this guy in the show. A pretty good looking guy. And he says, "Hey, I can take you home if you want.". So I say, "Oh, I live on the other side of town", (because I do live on the other side of town) and he says, "I don't feel like going home.". And I really have no argument to that fact, so I called my mom and told her I found a ride. After the FREAKING SPANISH INQUISITION (Is it a boy? Who is he? Do I know him? You be careful!) from my mother, I left with The Guy. It was a fun car ride, too. We sang Red Hot Chili Peppers and talked about the improv competiton our schools had the year before. The coolest thing was that he had a POLICE RADAR that told him if there were any police around him. So he could speed. :)

So. Your blogger has been daring and rode home with a BOY.

I find that fairly awesome.

Meaningless Movie Quotes of the Day

All quotes from The Producers, starring Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, and Uma Thurman.

Leo: We might have a position for you.
Max: As a matter of fact, we might have several positions for you.

Leo: I'm not going to the toilet... I'm going into SHOWBUSINESS!

Carmen: May I take your hat, your coat, and your swastikas?

Leo: I'm very sorry I caught you feeling up the old lady.
Max: "Feeling up the old lady." Thank you, Mr. Tact.

Franz: I was never a member of the Nazi Party! I only followed orders. I had nothing to do with the war! I didn't even know there was a war on. We lived in the back, right across from Switzerland. All we heard was yodeling...

Ulla: Why Bloom go so far camera right?

Leo: Let's assume for a moment that you are a dishonest man.
Max: Assume away.

Meaningless Movie Quotes of the Day

All quotes from "Iron Man" (I have to get this out of my system) starring Robert Downey Jr., Terence Howard, Jeff Bridges and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Tony Stark: Is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both?

Tony: Why are you trying to hustle me out of here?
Pepper: Your flight was scheduled to leave an hour and a half ago.
Tony: That's funny. I thought with it being my plane and all, that it would just wait for me to get there. I mean, doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of having your own plane if it departs before you arrive?

Pepper: [after Tony's one night stand with Christine] I have your clothes here; they've been dry cleaned and pressed. And there's a car waiting for you outside that will take you anywhere you'd like to go.
Christine: You must be the famous Pepper Potts.
Pepper: Indeed I am.
Christine: After all these years, Tony still has you picking up the dry cleaning.
Pepper: I do anything and everything Mr. Stark requires. Including occasionally taking out the trash. Will that be all?

Tony: Day 11, test 37, configuration 2.0. For lack of a better option, Dummy is still on fire safety. [to the robot] If you douse me again, and I'm not on fire, I'm donating you to a city college.

Meaningless Movie Quotes of the Day

All quotes from "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" starring Robert Downey Jr, Val Kilmer, and Michelle Monaghan.

"Newsflash, Perry, your client Ames, that's the little sister, repeat, the little sister. That's where Harmony's two grand went, it's in your bank, you overpriced bastard, her kid sister hired you! Your case and my case are the same fucking case!"- Harry Lockhart

"It's like someone lifted America by the east coast and shook it and all of the normal girls managed to hang on!"- Harry

Perry: Picture a bullet in your head.
Guard: Fuck you. Anyway, that's ambiguous.
Perry: Excuse me, how is that ambiguous?
Harry: I think he means that when you say 'picture a bullet in your head', okay, is that 'a bullet will be in your head' or is it 'picture it in your head'.

Harmony: You're new here. Look around. There's younger and better.
Harry: I don't want younger and better. I want you.

EDIT. And more quotes...

Perry: Merry Christmas. Sorry I fucked you over.
Harry: Don't quit your gay job.

Harry: So, again for the cheap seats: don't think, walk the fuck away. Or else we're going to have to go outside. It's past my bedtime. Make a choice.
[cut to Harry getting the CRAP kicked out of him. :) ]

Perry: [to the audience] Thanks for coming, please stay for the end credits, if you're wondering who the best boy is, it's somebody's nephew, um, don't forget to validate your parking, and to all you good people in the Midwest, sorry we said fuck so much.

Girl: What do you do for a living?
Harry: Oh, I'm retired. I invented dice as a kid.

I'm back. But my brain is still in Iron Man Land.

Your favorite blogger has returned from her long hiatus to bring you-- *gasp* all new weekly 'segments', more X-Files reviews, and tales of her intriguing daily life.

That last part was kind of a stretch, I know. But I'm trying to sound interesting. I really am. :)

Ooopsie.

Isn't it funny that I didn't post my review on the day I said I would?

Actually that's not that funny. It's sad on my part. :)

Anyway, I've been completely swamped with school, theatre, everything. But I'm not here to complain. :) I love my crazy life.

Posting tomorrow when I get home from school, as it is nearing eleven PM here and I haven't finished studying for my Algebra 2 test. Yikes!!

The glorious comeback.

A new X-File of the day will be posted this evening.

:) :) :)

I'm very excited.

Also, an awesome "Things that remind me of XF" moment: Last night at my theatre banquet, my friend put on "Joy to the World". It was epic.

Eloquent Realism, or How I Spent My Thursday

I thought that since I'm not doing XF reviews this week, I might as well give you a recap of my day while I'm not doing XF reviews. I thought it might be enjoyable. :)

This morning I got up at an ungodly hour (for me), 6:30, in order to make it to class by 7:30 so that I could pick my book for AP English 3 this summer. Every English class has summer assignments, and this summer I have to read Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut and an American novel of my choice. Well, no one wanted to read a crappy novel (of which there were really none, just long or boring ones), so everyone got there obsenely early. I reached the school at 7:20 and there were TWENTY FIVE people ahead of me in line. And the teacher wasn't going to get there until EIGHT!!! Several people actually broke into the school at SIX FIFTEEN and sat outside the room for AN HOUR AND A HALF. I got the book I wanted. "The House of Mirth" by Edith Wharton. Ten SuperAud points for everyone who guesses why I chose that one.

The rest of my day consisted of stupid standardized testing during which I was stuck staring at a wall for FIVE HOURS OF MY LIFE THAT I WILL NEVER GET BACK. My evening was much better. I got dinner from Chili's and came home, cleaned up a bit, then settled down at eight for my Evening of Good Television. It begins officially at 8:15, however, so I'm far enough behind on my recorded programs that I can skip the commericials. I watched The Office, then Grey's Anatomy, then 30 Rock. I always save Lost and CSI for the weekend.

And that's my day!

X-File(s) of the Day(s)-- A note from yours truly

Hello faithful readers!

It is with great sadness that I must postpone my XF reviews untill sometime next week. I've just had everything piled on me this week--standardized tests, two screenplays (both of which are due tomorrow), and I have auditions for my theatre company on Monday (which I am woefully unprepared for). Please forgive me. I promise I will be back with my sometimes cheerful, always entertaining reviews NEXT WEEK!

And thank you all for the comments! It's always nice to know someone's reading what I've written. :)

With love and X-Filish wishes,
Audrey

The best desktop image you could ever dream of.

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

April 19-21, 2008

Jose Chung's From Outer Space

Yay: "I just had a little alien experience." Love love love!!! Hilarity. I think the third season is growing on me, what with all of this comedy I've seen so far. "They just found your bleepin UFO."
Boo: I didn't like the guy who kept saying "This is not happening." It reminded me of a time far, far into the future in which a tragic episode was based on that line. Sniff sniff.

Home

Yay: Oh goodness. Um, the M/S conversations were nice. "Meanwhile, I've quit the F.B.I. and become a spokesperson for the Ab-roller." And the pigpen moment.
Boo: Not so much Boo as disgusting. Very gross episode.

Signs and Wonders

Yay: Uh, solid episode. Nothing particularly outstanding on the MSR front, but contrary to popular belief, the CASES are the focus of the show.
Boo: Have I mentioned I hate snakes? Enough said.

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

April 13-18, 2008

Memento Mori (Have I reviewed this one already? Can't remember. I watched it again the other day)

Yay: The hallway scene at the end. :) What did you expect? This was a great episode all around, really. Exceptionally sad, but great. "Put on something black and sexy and get ready to do some funky poaching."
Boo: The green goo was gross? Seriously, there is nothing wrong with this episode except for the fact that it gives Scully cancer.

Chinga

Yay: The pencils!!! "Scully....Marry me."
Boo: OMG THIS WAS SCARY. Seriously. I own many porcelain dolls and I am this close to sticking all of them in the microwave just like Scully. Also, if I ever hear "I want to play" or the Hokey Pokey again, I might have some sort of an attack.

Unusual Suspects

Yay: I liked this one, even though Scully was oddly absent. Meeting the Lone Gunman was wildly entertaining. "Narc."
Boo: Where was Scully? *sniffle* I know, I know, it was 1989.

Triangle

Yay: 1939!Scully is awesome. I loved her dress. And the fight scene choreographed to big band music?? FREAKING SWEET. And Kersh was Jamaican! HAHAHA. Plus, we get a KISS!!!! "Scully... I love you." "Oh brother." If you only knew, Scully.
Boo: How exactly did Scully and the gunmen get on the ship if it was a 'ghost ship'? That confused me.

Never Again

Yay: Mulder was being extremely ass-like in the beginning. "So you’re refusing an assignment based on the adventures of Moose and Squirrel?"
Boo: Good episode--hated what went on in the episode. Scully, Scully, Scully. Have you learned nothing? Your tattoo is kind of fabulous, though. Ed Jerse, however, is psychotic, not fabulous.

Drive

Yay: Great MOTW! "Now, the sun will rise in America tomorrow regardless of whether or not we're at yet another farm investigating yet another enormous pile of doo-doo." Greatest line. "Well, on behalf of the international Jewish conspiracy, I just need to inform you that we're almost out of gas." Whoever wrote this episode, I thank you.
Boo: Extremely disgusting when the head blew up. EXTREMELY. But, hey. I'm used to it by now.

Prom.

The brunette is me. The blonde is one of my best friends. :)



The prom....hall or whatever. Amazing!








Our
cool
food
!!




Prom pictures!









This is what it takes to get me ready for prom. HAHA.









The awesome speaker in our limo with the X on it!!!

I'm feeling outmanuvered and outclassed/ But I'm so happy I can't be worried

I finally have time to write a nice, leisurely blog entry. It's a nice feeling.

I had prom last night. A full picture blog will be up as soon as I can track down that darned camera cord that is hell bent on staying hidden underneath my computer desk in the midst of the rest of my cords.

So. Life is good. I'm not even behind on Script Frenzy yet. I'm so proud. Speaking of, I really need to go buy my shirt for that. And my Frankie and Larry shirt.

And my novel really needs to be sent out. Again, if I promised you a copy, give me one more chance and comment. Eventually I'll learn to be punctual and do things when I say I will. :)

Alright. I'm off to watch XF. My day begins....

X-Files of the Week-- Ultimate Collectors Edition Style!

Oooookay. Here we go. :)

April 1-7, 2008

Within

Yay: Can I just begin by saying I love Scully's Theme? That song is on my iPod. I listen to it while I'm sleeping. :) And I loved when Scully fell asleep with Mulder's shirt. So sweet. So sad.
Boo: I remembered why I hated John Doggett.

Without

Yay: Nice Scully/Skinner gun scene.
Boo: Poor Gibson!! Poor guy Fake!Scully choked!! Poor everyone!!! Except Doggett.

Per Manum

Yay: Umm, the end scene?? "Never give up on a miracle." And what miracle might that be, agents? The miracle from a magical episode called all things??? I love her poofy hair in the flashbacks as well.
Boo: EWWWWALIENBABY.

Three Words

Yay: Wow. FTF references. Nice. "Then maybe the question is not who fired this magic bullet, but whether or not it was a lone gunman." I really liked that line. Perhaps it was the Lone Gunmen reference. :) And speaking of Gunmen, good job on this ep, guys. Outstanding funky poaching.
Boo: KERSSSSSSSH. Also, when we calculate time in XF Land, do we include the summer hiatus? Because if so--and still even without it-- Scully has been pregnant for an uncomfortably long time. I just noticed that this episode. I know they were saving it for a season finale but--come on, CC, did you honestly think no one would notice the EVERLASTING PREGNANCY???

Hollywood AD (Way out of order, I know)

Yay: All of the cute stuff at the end. The hand holding, the zombie dancing. Wonderful. Props, Mr. Duchovny, on another episode with MSR for me. "I'm going to see if this bowl has Christ's Greatest Hits on it." Best line ever. :)
Boo: The dancing bones were a bit much. Really.

Milagro

Yay: Wonderful episode in general. Very cool camera work, especially when it revolves around Scully at that one part. (11:21!! It's 11:21 right now) The writing is great, stupendous. I can't say how much I liked this episode. I'll even say love. I loved this episode.
Boo: Horrible writer. (Padgett, I mean) You disgrace writers. :( And also, another gross XF episode. Ripping out organs--yum! Not.


Today's XF will be posted tomorrow, as I am watching it right now. Next up: The Unnatural!

I need some sleep!!!

Hyper. Hyper. Hyper.

This is me NOT working on my screenplay!

OMG. So hyper.

I watched a bunch of XF special features today. I learned how they burned CSM's face off. Yeah, you deserve it, you ass. Being all cool with your neck smoker thing. I hope being set on fire by a bomb HURT REALLY BAD.

I'm posting all my XF reviews tomorrow. And I've got lots of them. I've just been skipping from episode to episode. I watched 5 yesterday--gooooooo ME!

Lala. I've started paying attention in math now and stopped in chemistry. Look for more doodles at the end of the week.

Oooh! Oooh! Look at this hella nifty picture I took in NYC!

I took it at the Roxy Deli. Best cheescake EVER IN MY LIFETIME. Also, outrageous and insane prices.

WOOH!! I feel so hyper. Maybe I'm drunk. I haven't actually consumed anything that would make me drunk but I did make the characters in my screenplay drunk so maybe I'm drunk by association.

But they were stumbly drunk. I'm wired fake drunk.

I think I'll end this blog for my own health.

Love you all!

The truth is out there.

I recieved the X-Files Ultimate Collection for my birthday.

My life is complete.


(My XF reviews will be up soon. I apologize for the huge delay!! I've been busy. And I know I use that excuse all of the time, but truly. I'm almost sick because I've gotten about 9 hours total sleep this weekend. But I think I'll be alright with a good dose of David Duchovny and birthday cake.)

EDIT:

Pictures from the epic party!

Me and my XF collection! (today, actually, not at the party)

Me at the party in my dress :)

The glitter in my hair that my friends dumped on me while singing Happy Birthday.

EDIT 2: My XF notes!

I've gone slightly mad.

I'm tiiiiiiired.

And I know I should be posting my XF review, but I'm waiting because I thought you guys would like to hear a bit from me. :)

Script Frenzy started. I'm 10 pages in. It's pretty fun, but I'm having a hard time not being prettily descriptive. Remember, I like my flowery words.

La la la la la la. I'm so bored. Yesterday, I got so bored I downloaded a massive amount of Hilary Duff and went crazy as I did my math homework. Speaking of, I never really pay attention in math anymore. I mostly doodle XF drawings.

Okay. More later. There's supposed to be a huge storm tonight, and I'll probably be up because they scare me.

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

X-File of the Day

March 31, 2008

Squeeze

Yay: I think "Spooky Mulder" and "Mrs. Spooky" are charming nicknames. :) The Save!Scully scene was awesome. Scary, but awesome. And necklace touching?!?!
Boo: I hate Tom Colton. And Tooms is freaky.

April 1, 2008

Tooms

Yay: "Mulder, I wouldn't put myself on the line for anyone but you." "If there's an iced tea in that bag, it could be love." Do I even need to add commentary?
Boo: My MSR was ruined with yucky case files. I liked it, though. :)


I would like to announce that this is the last X-File of the Day review. I know I promised to keep them going, but I'm so busy with school and my script writing competition, I'm not sure I'll even have time for the X-Files anymore. Sorry.**

**APRIL FOOLS! I love you guys.

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

March 29, 2008

The Jersey Devil (I felt like going back to the classics)

Yay: "Anti-gravity is right." Was there a hint of jealousy when Mulder asked if she had a date?... And the prison call. Lovely.
Boo: Not sure exactly--I liked it. But it was kind of... off for me. Whatever. I enjoyed it. :)

March 30, 2008

Bad Blood With Running Commentary!

This is the first half.

Okay. I love the look on Scully’s face as she walks into the office. Classic. Awww! Poor wastebasket. He never saw Mulder coming. I don’t like Scully’s hair this episode. It’s all pushed back. 446 million!!! “I didn’t do the thing…with the thing!” Large Marge sounds pretty charming…:) Hah. Mulder’s gotta grab his tape recorder. Ooh! Scully’s hair has redeemed itself in her flashback. The projector can’t keep up with Mulder’s exuberance. “Too bad! We got em! Check it out!” If I hadn’t read Twilight, I think I would be more scared by the vampire theme. Peaceful Slumbers Funeral Home! Dwight Funt! Love the names this episode. MULDER FORGOT HER NAME. AND CALLED HER SHORT. But Luke Wilson made up for it. :)

Theory with air quotes. I wanna KILL him. Mulder is dead. Oooh! Scully’s eyes look uber pretty in this shot. Very blue. HAHA. Scully even rationalizes while staring up at Luke Wilson. “Dana?!?!” Shoelaces. Talk about a LeapOfLogic!Mulder Moment. In the background there is a box labeled “Head. Human remains. Handle with Care.” Very funny.
And fast forwarding….the wonders of DVR. “…who is arguably having a worse time in TX than I am..” Poor Autopsy!Scully. How can looking at a stomach make someone hungry? Only on the X-Files, my friends. Only on the X-Files. Corrections on motel title!

And the glorious Magic Fingers. :) “Chloral hydrate.” And Mulder is muddy. “I just put money in the Magic Fingers!” Poor, poor, mistreated Scully. But she makes him pay for her pizza. :)

Fast forward again…to the heavy breathing phone call autopsy! “The pizza guy! Mulder!” Action!Scully! SHAFT!!!!!!! I love this part. “I did not.” Wow. Scully seems to be a pretty sucky shot this episode. He is running, though. And Scully’s story comes to an end… Wow. She is short. J “You’re damn right.”

Whiney!Scully. “Why are we going to Dallllllas?” Can I just say Gilly rocks this episode? Scarcasm reigns in Mulder’s Scully. She is incredibly moody and bitchy, just like Gillian said at WonderCon. Poor PuppyDog!Mulder. “As always, I’m eager to hear your opinion.” Scary number of caskets. “Hoo boy!” And Lucius has a lisp! “He had a slight overbite.” The “gov’ment people” are in the fake autopsy room again with the Head box. Again, I love Gillian. Love love love. WOW. She winked on “creature of the night”. And now Mulder gives his example of the Scully Rational Explanation. “If there’s a point, Mulder, please feel free to come to it.” Shoelaces! “….the absence of birds singing…” Ronnie Strickland is really ugly. I just noticed that. He drove by and I was like “ugly!”.

And I’m tired now. I’ll finish tomorrow!

Introducing....SuperHef!

SuperHef!!!

I'm honestly sorry if you don't understand why this is here.

A) Because that is a frightening sight

and B) Because you missed a hilarious discussion!

I made the HORRIFIC MISTAKE of telling the girls that I had the same birthday as Hugh Hefner.

Dying ensued. I think Pi is permanently scarred from losing so much oxygen.

Nina kindly made me this wonderful manip of Hef with my hair.

So-- SuperAud + bald weird guy who likes naked women in bunny ears = SuperHef!

Enjoy.

Picture for X-Philes.

Ignore this. It's so Nina can Photoshop it with Hugh Hefner's face.

I'm not insane yet. I promise.

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

X-File of the Day

March 25-28, 2008 (It took me four days to watch-I've been super busy.)

The X-Files: Fight the Future

Yay: It's a movie!! The opening scene with Mulder and Scully was fun. I loved Scully's terrorism speech. "I think it's free beer night at the Astrodome." Cool spaceship shot at the end when they like fly off. Scully HAD to have seen that large thing. Seriously. I can't believe she didn't automatically BELIEVE right then. Oh yeah, I'm going to glaze over the hallway scene. BEES SUCK.
Boo: I didn't like the beginning with the cavemen. I know it was necessary, but it bored me.

And all of that damned sunshine all around them, running through their veins.

So, I used a sentence from MY novel for this blog title. Aren't I cool?

Kidding...

Crazy day tomorrow!!! We have theatre competition ALLL day. I have seven minutes to set the stage, then we run the show in forty, then another seven minutes to take everything off. It's absolutely crazy. I'm not going to be able to sleep, so I'm meeting the rest of the cast and crew at Starbucks at six in the morning for coffee. Then we will commute over to have breakfast somewhere, then to our performance theater (which happens to be very nice and wicked huge). Wish me many legs broken (good luck is bad luck).

So, today in math I didn't understand a bit of what we were doing, so I stopped listening and drew Mulder and Scully stick figures. I'll post my notes later--the stick figures are in--ahem--"romantic" poses. :)

I'll also post my XF review tomorrow--I waited so long because I'm watching the movie. Which counts as three episodes because a) I'm watching it in three increments and b) it's hella long. If you guys comment me, I'll do a running commentary on the last part. I'm sure I'll have lots of comments about the awkwardness of pulling someone out of alien goo while said person is naked, unconsious, and pretty cute. :)

I'll be posting on Twitter (see that pretty section to the right titled "what I do when I'm not writing") all day, so check that out if you want to see how my play does in competition! Along with scathing remarks about the other shows, of course.

A normal entry and my numerology (As prompted by Improbable)

Hahaha! So sorry for last nights rant into insanity. I was way tired.

My hands hurt-I've just spent the last hour addressing invitations.

Short short short---but as an extra bonus..here's my numerology. :) I'm posting this here because it's scary accurate.

From affinitynumerology.com


Your Inner or Soul's Urge: This is spiritual and emotional expression more than physical. It is your heart-felt desires, your incentive, how you look at life. Here are your areas of personal satisfaction.
Number: 7
Deep down, you desire the best life has to offer. This includes living your inner life in peace and silence. You have a keen sense of perfection and like to meditate and analyze, dissect, examine, and consider things from every angle. And you can definitely do without poverty, the transitory, and the noise and confusion of the business world.
You love huge libraries, old and well-maintained gardens, classic pictures, and time mellowed furniture. You are intellectual, scientific, philosophical, deeply intuitive, and a well of secrecy. You are sought after for your wisdom. Probably you are somewhat shy and deeply emotional, but with a horror of showing it.
For more complete personal understanding of life, work on expressing your emotions, trusting your feelings, less avoidance, and being sympathetic and understanding with people. You possess a tremendous inner wisdom.

Your Personality: This is physical expression more than spiritual or emotional; your outer self, the way you express when meeting others. It may or may not be the real you.
Number: 3
You are seen as a colorful, cheerful, and entertaining person; a natural host or hostess. You can cheer up a lifeless party. Friends are important to you, and you are easy to talk to.
In communication, you tend to elaborate and exaggerate in the direction of color and creativity, preferring to overlook the drab and mundane.
If you take on too many activities at once, you can appear superficial or contrived.
You probably enjoy wearing jewelry and fancy clothing. Just don't overdress or wear extreme styles in relation to the occasion.

Your Quiescent Self: Stripping away all outside influences, aspirations, ambitions, "shoulds", and "shouldn'ts" -- this is you when you are alone; just you and your dreams..
Number: 3
You are popular, attractive, and sought after. You are successful in one or more artistic fields -- designing, decorating, painting, acting, singing, sculpting, or related arts. A guest list is not complete without your name. You are applauded for your talents and spread happiness wherever you go. It all comes natural to you.
Your thoughts and pleasure are related to seeding happiness and personal recognition of your artistic talents.

Your Destiny or Ultimate Goal: This is your desired lifetime accomplishment. It is a key to a useful and happy life, and to feeling fulfillment during your latter days.
Number: 1
Your destiny is leadership. You come to this position through your own actions. Not by aggressive or dominant behavior, but by relying on your own inner strength, self-reliance, and determination. Your originality and your initiative can put you in a place of authority or leadership during your lifetime.
You have a healthy respect for individuality. You are innovative, and are often asked to lead, direct, and manage the affairs of people and organizations. When you have specifically defined and visualized goals, your powers of concentration and focus allow you to achieve them quickly and fully. You are happiest in the role of pioneer, explorer, creator, inventor, leader, director, chief executive, owner of any business, or editor of any periodical publication.
You wish to be left unhampered to carry out your own ideas.

Your Life's Path: Here are clues to what fate has in store for you. It indicates the type of encounters, events, and opportunities you are likely to experience along your physical life path.
Number: 7
Your path is along the lines of research, investigation and mental analysis. This includes meditation and introspection. Your opportunities will often be brought to you without having to go get them. The manifestation of those opportunities tend to have something in common with quiet places away from bustle and confusion.
You work well with theories and fundamentals, seeking wisdom and hidden truths. When you use your own ideas and judgment, dedication, and scientific attitude, along with your intuition, your decisions will enable you to reach your goals.
You can be alone without feeling lonely. You respect intelligence and are continuously accumulating knowledge for yourself. You have an intense reasoning capacity.
Others will perceive you as having more warmth and less aloofness when you balance your knowledge and its pursuit with compassion and human sensitivity. That combination inspires wisdom.

This Year's Path: Here is what you are likely to encounter this year -- your feelings, your predominant perspective, and the type of situations, circumstances, and opportunities you tend to attract during the calendar year.
Number: 5
This is a year of change for you, a year to get out of the rut. Your opportunities are found outside ordinary routine. New opportunities and new conditions are manifesting (some may appear unexpectedly) -- new relationships, new ideas, new contacts, new enterprises, new plans -- more freedom, more variety, more travel -- broader fields of interest and activity.
It is a year of new experiences -- change, growth, fun, freedom. You feel an inner push to go do something, anything, so long as it's a new experience. You notice more opportunities to travel. It is time to take advantage of the prevailing atmosphere of change and variety to learn something new. The year adds new life and color to your undertakings.
The changes can be thrilling and inspiring. Now is the time to take advantage of the enhanced sense of freedom you feel and create new outlets for your genius. It is also a time to let older people and children inspire you.
If you have a business, you may wish to advertise more than usual, possibly presenting your business with a new, even unique, angle.

Next Year's Path.
Number: 6
This is a year of service for you, a duty year. You feel you're assuming new responsibilities. People make more demands of you this year. You are needed in many directions.
Warmth and good will toward others, along with love and harmony, will make everything worthwhile. Justice, fair play, and honesty are important. It is a year for unselfish service.
Take care of your health because without it you cannot help others. Find time for rest and relaxation. This is a year to be thorough and conscientious about everything that you do.
It is a year of fine and friendly influence for marriage, tranquil home conditions, and traditional family activities. You may feel a strong desire to get settled.

Last Year's Path.
Number: 22
This is a practical year; no long leisurely periods for dreaming, personal indulgence, or careless living. It is a time to build the firm and secure foundation upon which your future depends, using practical values and steady application. It is also the time to work out the details of that project you've been thinking about.
The year opens the door to a greater understanding of your soul purpose. It presents opportunities to serve on a larger scale.
This is the year to find where you stand in life, and to be practical about it -- to pay attention to details; no time for careless living. This is your chance, with hard work and specific orientation, to do something big for yourself and for the good of the world. It is the year to put your dreams to practical use.
This year demands a lot of work, not only to improve the present but also to build practical foundations for the future. Your diligence brings commensurate rewards. With good sense, you can meet all requirements and experience satisfactory gain.
Your gatherings, meetings, parties, and trips are mostly related to work or business. Read the fine print of all transactions.
As part of the practical focus of this year, attend to health matters.

X-File(s) of the Day(s)-- Season 9 Spectacular!

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

March 22, 2008

Sunshine Days

Yay: The look on Scully's face as Skinner floats made the episode for me. And the little hand-hold at the end, too. I was always a Doggett-Reyes Romance supporter.
Boo: I never watched the Brady Bunch, so the house wasn't all that amazing to me.

March 23, 2008

The Truth, Parts 1 and 2

Yay: Umm, look at the entry below this one. :) Wonderful jail scenes. "I smelled you coming, Clarice." Reyes totally laid into the "secret tribunal". You go girl. Spectacular, fabulous jail scenes. Gibson!! Did I mention I enjoyed the jail scenes? And the Gratituious Pilot Motel Flashback at the end wasn't too bad either. :)
Boo: Lotsa clips. Lots and lots of clips.

March 24, 2008

Improbable

Yay: Burt Reynolds rocked my world. "There's always checkers." The awesome music. All of the agents turning their heads at the end to see the 9 on the map. And WILLIAM! at the end. Cuuute.
Boo: I have an unhealthy interest in numbers now. And I'm a word person. I'm going to go dash off and see what I am.

Delirum at 11:21

I've really been slacking on my XF reviews. I HAVE been watching, I'm just watching a bunch of Season 9 episodes and I want to post them all together. :)

I'm not tired at all. It's 11 at night. I'm listening to Skinner interrogate Marita and my feet are cold and I feel more content than I should. I feel odd. Ooops! There's NotDead!Krycek again. Don't you all love this running commentary mixed with my random thoughts? Yeah, you better be thankful, Marita. I saw that look. I'm pretty sure Mulder just saved your ass. Oh boy- to be continued.

Should I put on the second part, or wait until tomorrow?

Eh. I'll go ahead and finish. I can use it as tomorrow's X-File. It will technically be tomorrow when I finish it.

Previously on the X-Files.... "You're on trial for your LIFFFFFE." Gibson's grown up a bit! Awwww. Season nine credits.....cool new pictures..... Gilly looks hott.....finally Skinner gets a spot in the title sequence..and after nine years, the truth is STILL out there. Aww. Monica is redeeming herself. Skinner looks really helpless. I feel bad for him.

Oooh! I'll end this at 11:21. That way I can still leave a little bit of the episode to review. I wouldn't want to spoil the actual review with my biting wit right NOW.

Okay. Back to the episode for.....six more minutes. How do you spell Knowle's last name? Roar? Rorher? The mind reels. I really like Mulder's hair this episode. Too bad we'll never see it again. I kind of want to shoot that smarmy little prosecutor. Quit sucking up, asshole. Your face is entirely unbelievable, loser. And Mulder has better hair than you. La tee dah.

Monica's testifying. Her flippy hair is distracting me. Uh, if you haven't noticed, Prosecutor whom I hate, we are taking a trip down memory lane. This is kind of like a clip show. But better. This episode has kisses. Annnnd those flippy hairs are driving me craaaazy. Ooooh, Existence flashbacks. Poor Labor!Scully. Wow, this is an abnormally long blog. AWWWW. Everyone pause for William.

Okay. William is gone. Let's move on. Okay, someone fixed Reyes's hair between shots. I can focus now. FIRE!!! That prosecutor is being smart again..... More William Mind Magic... Gratuitious adoption reference.... Ooooh. Feisty!Reyes. You go girl.

Okay, it's 11:21. Bye bye!

A day at the zoo.

I went to the zoo today!

It was amazing. The elephants were so cute. I don't know why I find elephants so cute, I mean, they have gray, leathery skin and large feet, but I find them quite adorable. I think it's the little finger they have on the end of their trunks. It wiggles around quite adorably. This one elephant named Bonnie kept scooping up dirt and tossing it on her back to keep the flies away.

Then I saw a swan who talked to me. I said "Hello". The swan honked. It was a pleasant conversation.

Then I got a massive snow cone and watched orangutans converse while showing each other how to slide down a rope.

All in all, a good day. :)

Haven't watched XF yet, so review will be posted later.

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

March 19, 2008

Emily

Yay: Mulder's potato head face was the most endearing thing I've seen on the X-Files in a long time. And Emily was pretty cute too, except when her neck was oozing blinding green Alien!Goo.
Boo: More Scully!Torture. When will the pain end for our poor red headed agent of sadness?

March 20, 2008

X-Cops

Yay: Um, amazingness? This is one of the reasons I love the seventh season. "I don't think it's live television. That woman just said bleep." Edy and her man (forgot his name-yikes!) nearly made me fall off of my couch I was laughing so hard. And that amazing Jesus picture that was 3-D and turned into a picture of the last supper when you turned it to a different angle--where in the hell did the set decorators GET that??
Boo: I never really completely understood the actual X-File, but I was giggling constantly so I didn't exactly mind.

March 21, 2008

Je Souhaite

Yay: Je Souhaite (I wish) all XF episodes were like this. We have Playful!Scully at the beginning, flies hanging out over an invisible body, Thrilled!Scully, and a lovely beer scene at the end. "I'm fairly happy. That's something." And another "Where in the hell did the set decorators GET that??" note-- the corset remote. I think I might add that as a section to my reviews. :)
Boo: I felt really, really sorry for the guy who got woken up from the dead. I mean, that's gotta suck. He probably just got used to being dead and then BAM! He's not only alive, but he's smelly. Oh, is that flippant? Oops. Nothing actually seriously wrong with this episode. :)

Outside the sun is shining, seems like heaven ain't far away,

I'm home. Home, home, home. It's good to lie on my own couch. :)

I'm watching my X-File of the Day (X-Cops) and eating these amazing cookies my grandmother sent me home with and trying to stay awake. I'm not ready to go to sleep quite yet- I mean it's only nine. And I'm wireddddd!

I introduced my mother to my XF friends tonight. I showed her the David Duchovny video. She laughed at me.

Tomorrow I'm going shopping with some friends--fun fun fun because I haven't seen them in a week.

I've been reading back through my novel lately. I keep finding tiny mistakes that I need to fix. The more I read it, the more I like it. It's an odd feeling. I really, really, really LIKE what I've written, and normally when I read something again I think "Oh, how silly.". But this--it's different. Maybe because I finished it. Maybe because its a completed novel and usually I look back after five pages and think everything I've written is childish and stupid and lacking in interest. But now that I'm looking back on this, my FIRST COMPLETED WORK, 97 pages later, I still love it. That's a good feeling.

X-Files from yesterday and today well be posted later.

If coincidences are just coincidences then why do they seem so contrived?

So, I'm just casually flipping through channels and guess what comes on SciFi in four minutes??

The X-Files, of course!

Emily. I kind of know what this one is about, but not really. Hmm. I've got my X-File of the Day!

This is how it works; you're young until you're not.

Last full day of vacation. I'm kind of happy actually, because I have four-yes, I said FOUR- projects to work on for school that are due in the next week. Ahhh.

I just ate a huge burrito and it was amazing. Random, I know, but that's what was just going through my head. Haha.

I finished editing my novel! Completely and utterly finished. I corrected all of my mistakes and when I get home I'm printing off a fresh copy and giving it to one of my friends, whose uncle has publishing contacts. :) :) :)

Script Frenzy starts soon, and now that I'm done with my novel, I can focus on outlining and stuff. I'm very excited. I'm buying my SF shirt online tonight. It's amazingly cute. And I'm buying a Frankie <3 Larry shirt as well.

Okay. I'm going to go watch That Thing You Do. It's on E! and I love that movie with a passion. (Oooh! And I'm buying Enchanted today. That is also a supremely excellent film.)

X-File(s) of the Weekend (and Monday and Tuesday)

March 14, 2008

How the Ghosts Stole Christmas

Yay: Scully’s loooong rational explanation of fear. “Alright. I’m afraid. But it’s an irrational fear.” The ghosts’ psychoanalysis of M&S was entertaining. At times I was like, “Hmm. They have a point….” And the whole scene where “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” was playing and they were dragging themselves out of the house and blood was everywhere- priceless.
Boo: Mulder’s story in the beginning was a little cheesy and melodramatic, but I suspect that was on purpose. Good episode all around. Not much to complain about.

March 15, 2008

Monday
Yay: Poor, poor Mulder. “I’m having the best damn day of my life. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.”
I love how the only thing Scully every notices is the fact that he has a waterbed.
Boo: I didn’t like Pam’s hair. Trivial, I know. But this was a good episode too! Maybe I should be crueler in these reviews…

March 16, 2008

The Post-Modern Prometheus

Yay: Um, everything? I loved the scene where M&S run into the house while Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves plays in the background. I loved the black-and-white-ness of the episode. I loved the ending. I loved the hand closing the book at the very end as Chris Carter’s name came up in the credits. Stellar episode, Mr. Carter. Hopefully your mytharc won’t suck.
Boo: I couldn’t help but think “This could never, ever happen in real life” a lot, but that’s alright. We were in Comic Book Universe, after all. J


And now for the mytharcs. I didn’t watch the ones I said I would. But I’m going to. I promise. J

March 17, 2008

Requiem

Yay: Scully’s pregnant! Cuddling in bed, cheek kisses, and a BABY? Best episode ever.
Boo: Mulder got abducted. Teresa still speaks with awkward breathy pauses, just like she did in the pilot. It’s almost charming.

This is Not Happening

Yay: Mulder’s back!
Boo: Mulder’s dead. And Doggett is here. He’s okay. I never liked him much.

March 18, 2008

DeadAlive

Yay: Mulder is alive. “Anybody miss me?”
Boo: Mulder has scars. Poor, poor Mulder. And Scully crying at the beginning almost made me *sniffle* lose hope.

Tweet tweet.

So, I downloaded this thing called Twitter. If you look to your right, there's a new section titled "what I do when I'm not writing". That's my Twitter thingy. And I can post little updates about what I'm doing from my phone. And if you have Twitter, you can follow me and get MY updates text messaged to your phone.

I suggest getting it. It's free and hella cool. :) So, whenever I don't have a new post, look over there. You can find out what I'm doing. And then comment me about how I need to stop doingt hat and post something new. Peer pressure works on me. :)

I won't let you go alone.

Yay internet access!

I'm at my cousins house, lying in bed and watching a comedian on HBO. It's a charmed life. :) Kidding. I actually did work on Sunday. I tilled a patch of dirt and proceeded to stuff baby onions in tiny holes I made with a screwdriver in said patch of dirt. Real high-tech, I know.

So, I actually didn't watch the MYTHARC MADNESS episodes I said I was going to. But I did watch mytharcs.... I watched Requiem, This is Not Happening, DeadAlive, Essence, and Existence. *blushes* Yes, I know it's the William arc. I don't care. :) And then I watched MOTW's with my grandmother: Monday and The Ghosts that Stole Christmas and the Post-Modern Prometheus. So I have consumed a massive amount of XF this weekend. I'll post the X-Files of the Weekend later. :)

There are more worlds than the one you can hold in your hand. (Sunday's entry)

(Blogger’s note: This entry is from Sunday. That should clear up any confusion :) )

I’m on vacation! Hopefully, this will be posted on Monday, as I am traveling to my cousin’s house and I’ll be able to steal wireless internet from the church across the street. (How horrible does that sound? I’m not usually such a thieving person, I promise.)

Today, I woke up around ten and ate menudo (Mexican soup with hominy, onion, cilantro, lemon and the winning ingredient- cow stomach! It’s actually excellent.). Then I hopped into a car with my grandparents and my mother and trucked down the highway to another tiny town to see my greatuncle at a flea market. I bought a bunch of vintage jewelry and another Temperance Brennan book for my collection. Hardcover, this time. I tried to hunt down some X-Files stuff, because they usually have tapes and such at resale shops, but alas. Some other crazed fan had bought them all.

I came home, completely stuffed (after this huge brisket burrito I ate at the flea market) and settled on my bed with my laptop and watched Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I spent a few hours idolizing Audrey Hepburn and here I am now! I think I’m going to begin my MYTHARC MADNESS soon. First, I’m watching Biogenesis and the Sixth Extinction, parts one and two. I’ve heard those are good. No clue what’s next after those, though.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Our revels now are ended./ MYTHARC MADNESS.

Tomorrow, my spring break begins.

I will be driving a long distance to spend the week at my grandmother's farm. There is no internet access at said farm...so I'm taking my first long blogging break. Don't fret, my (two) faithful readers (whom I love dearly!!). I'm blogging the whole trip in Word, and then I'll repost when I return to to the Land of Wireless Internet. Same with my X-File of the Day. Luckily, my grandma enjoys XF immensely, so I'm going to have a fun time.

I'm going to watch as many mytharc episodes as I can, because when I first started watching XF, I read the summary of most of the mytharcs and focused on the MOTW's. Specifically, the romantic MOTW's. I know. I'm a bad fan. :( But I'm correcting my mistake! So begins the week of MYTHARC MADNESS. I fully expect to understand about two percent of what I watch and then have it completely negated in the next episode. Who would expect less from our darling Chris Carter, who seemed to consistently be flipping to the wrong page in the X-Files Bible when he wrote the mytharcs?

I had an insane day today. I got grades back on all of the tests I took; they're decent. My overall GPA went down an entire point. Pardon my colorful language, but I need to seriously get my shit together. I actually STUDIED for my history quiz tomorrow, which is a true rare occurance. My math grade went up two points, my english and chem grades went down a point. My history grade plummeted SEVEN points after I bombed the test. Meh. I hope I can fix everything...

Our preview show was today. I managed my scene changes okay. I dropped the cordless phone about a million times and we had a miniature prop crisis. All in a day's work. :) I love it. WE WERE THIRTY SECONDS OVER OUR REQUIRED TIME OF FOURTY MINUTES. If we get the curtain closed on us at contest, I am going to run and hide under a comfortable rock forever. Well, not forever. I've got to see the X-Files movie.

Going to bed!!! Prepare to see about eight new XF reviews the next time I post. And prepare for some scathing comments--this is the mytharc. Nothing particularly cheerful happens. :)

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

X-File of the Day- March 11, 2008

Orison

Yay: Nothing really to be happy about in this one. I liked this episode...but it creeped me out. Still, any epsiode with Gun!Scully makes me jump on my couch and cheer her on. Execept... I wasn't entirely sure if she should have shot him. I don't know how in character that was. I mean, one could argue that she's too rational to have acted so impulsively. Still others could argue that Pfaster was the only one to completely scare her and break her rationality. This episode make me think a bit, which is always good.
Boo: Uhh... the whole thing was pretty scary, which is good in my book! I don't think I'll be watching it again anytime soon, though.

X-File of the Day- March 12, 2008

Rain King (I figured I could use some cheerfulness)

Yay: Scully in the bathroom. You all know what I'm talking about.... "Like a switch has been flicked." I fell off the couch laughing when Sheila pinned Mulder against the wall and laid a big one on him. And the height Scully's eyebrow reached was astounding. YAY FLUFF.
Boo: I thought the actress who played Sheila might have been overacting it a little. And at some points the episode seemed like it was trying too hard to make me laugh. My favorite thing about the X-Files is that it never blatantly shoves me into funny situations with funny people who have funny words. Mulder and Scully just create their own wit and banter, which I enjoy far better than sitcom humor.

I know I love in vain, strive against hope.

Blog title from All's Well That Ends Well, by William Shakespeare. There's a copy floating around the theatre because it's a prop in the show we're currently performing.

I have had the most tiring week. I have so many tests, and it's crunch week (Also known as theatrical hell week- the week before a show opens in which you must time the show to make sure it runs under 40 minutes (the competition limit), run with full costume changes AND music AND props AND scene changes, begin publicity and ticket reservations, change awkward blocking, cut lines so that the show runs short, and generally work your butt off for no credit whatsoever), which means I'm getting home around seven each night. Then homework, running, my daily X-file....AHH. Crazy stress.

I'm posting today's X-File tomorrow-- my laptop battery is about to collapse from exhaustion, as am I. :)

X-File of the Day

X-File of the Day- March 10, 2008

Irresistable

Yay: Creeeeepy. Which I like. :) Also, cool Action!Scully bits. Of course, Mulder saves the day, also providing a lovely tight hug at the end. Sigh. Everything is right again in the XF universe.
Boo: Who is actually stupid enough to leave your back door unlocked? Also, who tells their new delivery boy who looks kinda creepy such information?

And there was no reason for anything anymore.

I had a pretty awesome weekend, considering the let-down of a Friday night I had.

Saturday, I

-got my hair trimmed, and saw a Scully lookalike
-ate lunch with my grandparents
-organized the drafts of my novel into nice, neat manilla envelopes
-dyed the underside of my hair red (but it turned out purplish)
-played Whirlyball for my friend's birthday
-stayed the night with my friends, ate cupcakes and watched Young Frankenstein!

Whew.

My hair is almost its normal color, though. I don't think I did the dye right. Oh well. I like it so much I'm considering doing my entire head... I do have a vacation coming up. :)

I'm almost out of jellybeans. Only the Mystery!White ones are left. Sigh. So ends an blogging era.

More later, maybe. I'm in a blogging mood.

X-File(s) of the Day(s)

I was home for about three hours total yesterday, so yesterday's XF viewing (I did manage to squeeze one in) will be sandwiched in with today's!

X-File of the Day-March 8, 2008

Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose

Yay: Peter Boyle was pretty awesome. (On a completely unrelated note, I watched Young Frankenstein this weekend) The introduction of Queequeg!! Yay. Too bad I know how he ends up. :( "How am I going to die?" "You don't."
Boo: That Stupendous Yappi's eyebrows got on my nerves. That's pretty much all. Outstanding episode!


X-File of the Day- March 9, 2008

War of the Coprophages

Yay: All of the calls Mulder made to Scully, and all of the various boring tasks she was doing. Uh, can we get a life over here on Aisle X?
Boo: I am now afraid of cockroaches. And women named Bambi. *growls*

The thrill is gone.

I had a decent night.

I went to see "The Other Boleyn Girl" with a few of my friends.

(AHH. It's 11:21)

Sadly, it wasn't enough friends. One of them got bored and went into the coffee place next door. The other two whispered into each other's ears. The boy (everyone is remaining nameless) touched the girl's leg a lot. I don't think I need to say anything else.

So, feeling like the largest, most socially awkward third wheel to ever occupy space, I ran to the solace of the warm coffee place. And met my other friend and her friend. We all talked for hours and I had a mango smoothie. I don't know what happened to my other friends.

I don't exactly care. Is that mean? I think I'll justify myself.

If there is one thing you readers need to know about Audrey, this is it. So listen up.

I REFUSE TO BE IGNORED. If you don't want me around, please tell me (nicely, I hope) or at least hint at it. That way neither of us need to be in an awkward situation with your little boy toy making awkward jokes about your sweater and I can go find someone to hang out with who will actually acknowledge my existence and who wants me there. Because with or without you, I'm going to have a good time. I'm not going to waste my evening drowning in loneliness and self pity because I don't have anyone whispering in my ear or caressing my knee. I'm going to go have a mango smoothie and talk to people I've never met and enjoy myself further than a romantic evening. Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with romance. I wish I had it. But if you wanted to have a date, don't go with other people. Go with the person you want to whisper with. Not the friend who has to sit awkwardly by and watch. Because odds are? That friend will leave you for her extremely enticing mango smoothie.

Whew. I've got that off my chest now. Blogging is helping me get my anger out. Hehe. :)

Tired, tired, tired. That's all I am anymore.

We got snow last night! Only a dusting, but I enjoyed it.

My bed is calling to me. Farewell.

Arcadia

Yay: Domestic!Mulder and his ordering Scully to make a sandwich. Poopyhead. "The thrill is gone."

Boo: The lame X-file.

Super short. Super tired. :)

Tomorrow- not sure. Suggestions? I have seasons 5, 6, and 7.

This blog is inspired by actual documented accounts. SHOUTOUT!

See that blurry girl under the fab NBC sign?

Yours truly. :) That's one of my New York pictures. But anywho. Back to regular blog business.

Alas, I'm tired once more. I ran another mile. And I'm still not studying for the second half of my "History of the World Forever" test. This part is the essay portion. You have to know actual DATES. I'm going to die.

Not actually.

It nearly snowed again today. Every city around me has at least three inches. And my town? Oh, of course, no snow. Depression looms.

Sleep beckons. Enjoy the rest of your evening (or day, if you happen to be in another country that is currently smothered in daylight).

Pilot

Yay: I've got lots this time. I mean, it's the PILOT. "Nobody down here but the FBI's Most Unwanted." Young!Mulder looks so hopeful. He doesn't know what will befall him in the next nine years. :) And yet he's still got those snappy one-liners that make me shake my head and giggle.

Boo: The only thing I found wrong with this episode was Scully's unfortunate hairstyle. And the awkward suits were unfortunate as well.


Tomorrow- Arcadia!!!

And every breath we drew was hallelujah.

I'm crazy tired. For some reason, tonight I was like "Hey, Syd. Go run a mile. Then stay up watching the X-Files and forget to do everything else. Like study for your crazy hard test tomorrow." And now, I'm replying to myself by saying "Thanks a heap, Syd. I can't feel my legs and I'm going to fail my test. Cool."

I have interesting conversations with myself.

Ooh, JELLYBEAN time! I now have this jellybean-blogging partnership going and it's pretty amazing. I always forget I have this huge jug of jellybeans until I'm laying in bed blogging. I kind of like this situation.

My day was brightened after I ran my mile, because I got online and there were K*** PICTURES FROM XF2!!! (Censored for those blog readers who don't particularly enjoy spoilers) It made me so gosh darn cheerful I was able to ignore my throbbing calves for half a second.

Short short short entry tonight. I'm cramming for my insane "History of the Entire World Forever" test tomorrow. No, that is not what it's actually called. It just feels like that should be the proper title.

Dreamland and Dreamland 2

Yay: "Special TRAMP Dana Scully!". Mulder listing off Scully's family and lunch habits to convince her that it's him was pretty hilarious. "That is so you. That is so Scully." Also, the waterbed scene was awesome. OMG. The sunflower seed scene. The Shipper Sunflower Seed Scene. The Quadruple S.
Boo: I thought Mulder dancing in front of the mirror was trying a bit too hard to be hilarious. And KissAss!Mulder/Fletcher got on my nerves. But I think that's what he was put on earth to do. Also, one word: Kersssssssssh. *hisses*

Not sure what I'm watching tomorrow...

Falling slowly, sing your melody.

I had a fairly nice day today.

It was still cold, and I'm finally giving into my body's cries and wearing a sweater tomorrow. Congrats, weatherman. You win.

I watched THREE episodes of The X-Files. By accident, actually. I just kept hitting play on my DVD menu. This phenomenon caused me to miss American Idol, which isn't something I really obsess over, but a guy from my church is in the top 16 or whatever. I think that's pretty amazing. I voted for him five times last week. :)

Testing begins tomorrow, which means I have a free day for half of the day, because I am an outlandishly fast test taker. I'm bringing like six books to read when I am done, even though usually all of the words blur and I fall asleep on my table. But at least I'm attempting to be literary.

Today during play rehearsal, I went through my Script Frenzy (hereafter known as Screnzy) outline and wrote down any questions I had. Questions like "Why does Marianne ditch her wedding in Psychic Land?" and "Why does Marianne return to Edward and the real world?" and "What the hell did Edward to to make Marianne so mad she leaves?". (Those questions are out of order, by the way.) Then, I proceeded to answer these questions. That way, when I'm writing and I'm like "Wow. What is their motivation here? What words should I use?" I can just pull out my handy dandy prep sheets and remark on how thoughful I was to PREPARE for Screnzy.

That is your Writing Tip for the Day. Almost like the X-File of the Day, except David Duchovny makes no appearances and there is less spooky music.

Night, all.

X-File of the Day

X-File of the Day- March 4, 2008

The Beginning

Yay: Nothing. Absolutely nothing has made me in the least bit cheerful throughout the entire episode. Okay. I like Gibson. And the disgusting alien was pretty cool.
Boo: Is it bad that seeing Fowley makes me want to completely stop watching? Seriously, my hand was on the remote the second I saw her unfortunate dull haircut. I restrained myself though. Spender sucks as well. And CSM. And the crappy empty XF office. And Stitches!Gibson makes me sad. And all of a sudden Scully's like "Oh, was I in the movie? I completely forgot everything in Antarctica. Virus? Huh? Yay science!!"

I HATE THIS EPISODE! I mean, it's a good episode. But I HATE EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS WITHIN IT.

Jellybeans.

I'm sitting in my bed, minding my own busniess, eating jellybeans and watching XF youtube videos and doing everything in my power to not do Script Frenzy character development when all of a sudden I get this horrific taste in my mouth.

Who invented peanut butter flavored jellybeans?

My eyes are squinting out. I'm going to sleep while I still have the (newly acquired) taste of Island Punch goodness on my tongue. With my luck, the next jellybean I eat will be coffee flavored. Or that weird licorice one that I always seem to pick up when I think I'm grabbing Blueberry.

Redux 2

Yay: SCULLY IS CURED. MULDER IS NOT DEAD. Also, two words: cheek kisses.
Boo: So, Skinner wasn't bad. And Blevins was. And now Blevins is dead. So...now what? Confusion looms, but hey: this is the X-Files we're talking about. When is anyone ever NOT completely confused?

I think I might watch Detour tomorrow. Or the next mytharc episode. Maybe it will clear my fuzzy brain.

There are more words in heaven and earth, Audrey, than are dreamt of in your screenplay.

With regard to my blog title, I respect Shakespeare. Fully.

Today was (for lack of several truly appropriate adjectives) really freaking cold. It's snowing right now, actually. I'm not looking forward to going to class the next morning and walking through the huge parking lot to the building that is never quite warm enough.

I completely did not understand my algebra homework either. Rational functions turn my brains into pools of mush. Making these lovely sentences is a true challenge.

Despite the positively freezing weather roaring outside my window, I got alot of work done on my screenplay plot today. I think I've got an outline fleshed out. Yay! I also filmed my section for the "Suddenly I See" video today.

My XF review comes next...

X-File of the Day

I'm watching at least one episode of the X-Files each day until the second movie comes out.

X-File of the Day- March 2, 2008

Redux

Yay: Great Science!Scully bits, awesomly dramatic
Boo: I nearly had a heart attack when I heard Scully confess that Mulder killed himself. I relaxed when I realized he still had three more seasons. I also didn't like Betrayal!Skinner.

I'm watching Redux 2 tomorrow. I hope it's more cheerful.

And I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

I'm outrageously tired.

(ooh, this thing types in Georgia. Love that font. Makes me feel like I'm clattering away at a typewriter.)

I had an audition today. I thought it went great. Noticing the absence of exclamation points or cheerful diction, it did not Go Well. I always say "It went Well." That way, no one can actually tell if it sucked or not because that adjective is so darn ambiguous.

Oh well. I got home, got the obligiatory "We-really-enjoyed-your-audition-but-our subtext-suggests-otherwise" phone call and began work on Script Frenzy. I love brainstorming about my characters, but I really wish I could think of a freakin' plot. No plot, no problem! doesn't work so well when you're on a deadline and you kind of need a direction for a movie--it's really different from writing a novel.

Oooh, Javert's Suicide just popped up on iTunes. "It is either Valjean or Javert..."

I just fell off of my bed. I'll post more tomorrow.
