No excuses. But I was, well am, still sick. If it's not one thing, it's another. This year has just been nonstop for me. Series of unfortunate events anyone? But in my absence from blogging, I did things! Well, sorta.
I WANT TO SPARKLE!
I haven't watched anime in a while... Hanasaku Iroha is one of those amusing slice of life. Less on the crazy end like Minami Ke. Ep 1 was off to a slow start. Girl with irresponsible mother gets sent to live with her grandmother. Grandma owns an inn and makes her work there. She sets to prove herself to her grandmother and the rest of the cast. Gonna keep watching so far. But random onsen yuri scene had me laughing... even though it's imagined.
Movies (Old, New, Been out for a while):
Hangover 2 wasn't as good as the first one. Same plot, different setting. Awkward crude humor/situations still. Kinda like the revelation on where their missing companion could be better this time around. Rewatch Chance – fairly decent
Get Him to Greek is... okay I suppose? Just crude humor but not particularly witty. More with awkward situations. Rewatch Chance – No.
Fast Five was good. Loads of action and cars. I suppose the after movie scene would be more useful if I actually watched the other previous movies... Rewatch Chance – Rather High
Love Actually was cute. Kinda makes you go aww at some points and laugh at others. Rewatch Chance – Quite High
Big Momma Like Father Like Son has singing... and dancing. Well, it is set in a musical arts school. Make my cousin facepalm since a lot of movies seems to be having a musical element to it with Glee on the rise. Basic plot is son witnesses murder and have to go undercover crossdressing like his dad in the first movie. Rewatch Chance – Eh, don't care for.
Just Go With It was rather unimpressive. You just know how everything will play out. Guy got heartbroken hardcore and discovered he can milk it for sympathy sex. Does it for years and finally meet a girl he's interested in. Convinces coworker to pretend to be his wife that he's divorcing to convince interested girl that he's not a douche bag. Throw in a bunch of random encounters and situations and BAM! You get a this movie. Rewatch Chance – Higher than Get Him to Greek but still no.
Priest was disappointing. What you see in the trailer is pretty much it. Action but not really that much. Plot is almost nonexistent. Ending seems kinda cliffy. Rewatch Chance – Meh. Could go either way.
Thor was... okay, I suppose? Didn't have much expectation for it. Probably 'cause Thor wasn't that good of a superhero. Some of the CG's was cool though. Rewatch Chance – Not if I have to pay.
Kung Fu Panda 2 was a pleasant surprise. There's actually a darker plot mixed with humor. There's this rather odd camaraderie between Tigress and Po. Predicting panger or tida babies if they make a follow up. Kinda like how they did it with the dronkies in Shrek. Rewatch Chance - Highish
Bridesmaids was pretty good. Crude humor and awkward situations thrown in. Kinda like Hangover but not as wild I suppose. First 10 minutes of movie and my thoughts were 'why would anyone want to watch others having sex.' Too much drama for Polar though, lol. Sorry, Keeper but I can still go for a sandwich after watching that last scene. =P Rewatch Chance – Pretty High
Gaming:
Failed so hard at Call of Duty: Black Ops. Was playing the zombie survival one with my bro online. My kills were half of everyone else's and my deaths almost twice as high. Resigning myself that the only time I'll be good with a shooting game is with a gun controller. My tendency to aim for the body instead of the head will not guarantee my survival should the zombie apocalypse ever comes.
Saw Spring Awakening when it was in town. Was alright. Didn't particularly want to see it but Khouster's Bday and all. I enjoy the songs more than the plot... especially 'Totally Fucked' and 'Touch Me.'
Ram Restaurant and Brewery was good enough that we went back. Got mostly appetizers though. Polar just had to challenge the Behemoth.

Yes, that's like 5 lbs of meat.
Zero Degrees Karaoke Bar is pretty decent for a karaoke place. Problem with most places near or in Chinatown is that their English song selection are usually horrendous. This one wasn't and the karaoke machine was pretty easy to navigate. If you want to go, definitely rent the rooms. They don't charge hours for how long you stay but you just need to hit the minimum charge they have for the room in general with drinks. If you don't drink, you could order food too. We had the large room with the minimum charge of $300. Quite easy to hit when you have a large party and bottles be expensive. But do to some...unfortunate incident, we probably won't be going back there again... at least for a while.
Volunteered for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. I pretty much cheer... or in my case since voice is semi gone, clap loudly. I really enjoy some of the team names and slogans people had. “Holler for Hooters” “Walkers for Knockers” “Won't Quit 'til We Save a Tit” “Save a Breast, Grope Your Wife”
Personal favorite is “Saving Second Base.”
