Tron Legacy

By esthera in random

Holy Crap. TRON!!!! I can’t be more excited. I want one of the cyles for my very own. I also hope they have the frisbees to drink the yummy water from. That part always makes me really thirsty.

Watching my best friend do what she loves is a very very beautiful thing. I love to watch her dance.

A hidden or secluded spot.

By esthera in random

I’m to excited to sleep. Weekend trip begins in  just a few hours. I will not be posting much in the next few days. Possibly not at all. And hopefully I can make up for it next week.

Tonight I was this close to buying a Nook. I walked within 3 feet of the brightly lit shiny counter at Barnes & Noble. It’s so pretty. I wants it.  And then thought of most coveted camera. Must resist Nook for now. It’s driving me bonkers.

me = moth
expensive gadgets = flame

Sleep tight.

Frank’s cap will say poop.

By esthera in random

I’m exhausted. Work is wearing me out. I feel like as I’m getting older, there’s less and less I can handle at once.

This weekend will be fun and stress free. I won’t have to think of the craziness at work. For THREE WHOLE DAYS. Hooray for weekend trips! Hooray for great friends! Hooray for good times! I’m so excited. If I wasn’t so tired I wouldn’t be able to contain it.

I’ve begun watching 30 Rock again – the first season. I can’t count what rotation this is. This is my most favorite show ever. I love it so much and I will be deeply sad once it ends. I want the job to think up the things that go on Frank’s cap every episode. But I don’t know that I’d be good at it. I know one thing – I’d probably use the word poop A LOT.

Seriously, I’m fighting to keep my eyes open. I got sleepy around 8pm. I can’t even figure out what I’m writing about tonight. Time for bed. zzzzzzzzz.

P.S. I often title my posts after I write them. I can’t figure out which I should do first.

Busy Bee

By esthera in life

Remember in Best In Show when Meg (played by Parker Posey <3) and Hamilton freak out because they lose their dog’s toy ‘Busy Bee’ and Meg goes to find it and can’t so she goes to the pet store and the guy tries to sell her a bear dressed like a bee. She gets so mad. I love how she has braces. I love that movie.

Anyway, I’m busy this week.

I was also told by friend/coworker that she likes how I’ve gotten ’snarly’ which I don’t really see. But you know what? I’m okay with it. I need to be more snarly. What are you talking about? I’m all sunshine and rainbows!

Hooray for fun weekend ahead with friends!

Time to rest. Goodnight.

Level up!

By esthera in life

Today I got the news that my boss for the last 4 (or so) years is going to another position in the company. It’s a bittersweet feeling. I’m happy for her because it’s a good thing and it’s what she wants. But I am sad to see her go. I’m emotional. I’m attached. She’s been one of the best bosses I’ve ever had – aside from Amanda, who is now a dear dear friend.  Change is hard for me. Especially when it comes suddenly. I’m afraid of the unknown. Today was difficult.

But…

Tonight I advanced to the next level in my Kyudo class! Yay! I am now practicing with a gomu-yumi or rubber bow instead of an imaginary bow. Now with something in my hands, I feel like I am back at square one. I have to relearn my form and technique but it feels good to have something solid to hold on to. It feels more real now. I feel less silly doing the movements. Soon, I will buy my uniform. And soon after that, I’ll start practicing with a yumi or japanese bow. Color me excited.

It’s been a full day. Time for bed.

Where did my sunday go? I feel like I just woke up. Now, I’m laying in bed not wanting to go to sleep because then it will be tomorrow. Another weekend is officially over.

I don’t even remember what I did today. I cleaned my filthy bathroom. Lyndon did everything else. I think I spent some time reading (mortal instruments book 2), some time watching 30 Rock (again), some time gaming (Beatles Rock Band) and some time on the internets (airline tickets). I want it to be saturday tomorrow.

I buffed my fingernails and toenails. I can’t stop feeling how smooth they are.

Excited for: Alice In Wonderland.

There’s nothing else to report.

By esthera in movie, random

I am so glad it was friday today. I am not prepared for another day of driving in to work. I don’t know what it is, but the days that I drive to work seem a little longer and more tiresome.

Tonight we watched the G.I. Joe movie. And I’m surprised to say I didn’t hate it as much as I expected to. I liked it more than Transformers 2 which was a bunch of garbage. “expensive cheap movie” as Lyndon likes to say.  I didn’t lose interest in G.I. Joe like I did with Transformers 2. I didn’t open up my laptop and start surfing the internets while the movie was still going. I wish there was more Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow fighting but whatever. Poor Ray Park – constantly used for your fighting skills, never to be heard from or seen. Favorite thing: Ninja sword-fighting battles.

I’m happy it’s the weekend. I look forward to sleeping in, reading, and tai chi.

I’m about halfway to my goal of getting my camera. If only I could stop shopping for other things online. Damn you, endless.com and you’re vast array of beautiful shoes! Must be strong!

I can has cheeseburger?

By esthera in movie

cloudy_with_a_chance_of_meatballs2

Last night we watched Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs. Oh my my. I loved it! Cheeseburgers falling from the sky? A giant BLT impaled on the Eiffel Tower? Monkey Steve? Ice cream snow ball fights? Mr. T!?! And so SO much more! The animation was beautiful and from the moment the first cheeseburger fell from the sky I knew I was in love. <3. Why didn't I see this in the theaters? I wouldn't mind seeing larger than life cheeseburgers on the big screen. (It seems my next food obsession is cheeseburgers.) The voice acting was terrific. The dialogue was funny. And the animated world was gorgeous. I loved the characters. Especially Earl - voiced by the incredible Mr. T. I love love love when Mr. T speaks. His no nonsense speak. It fills me with such joy and laughter. In the extras he talks about how with women and children the T stands for Tender. When he's dealing with bad guys the T stands for Tough. Holy shit balls, I LOVE IT! Favorite thing: obviously, cheeseburgers and Mr. T.

This is a must see for animation fans. I really don't like when people call things 'kids' movies. It's kind of irritating. Or 'chick flicks' or 'dick flicks'. I mean, I get that certain movies are marketed towards different groups of people but I hate that I get judged for movies I like because they 'belong' in a certain catagory. 'Oh..yeh..I didn't see that. That's a kids movie.' or 'Oh, I should tell my wife you want to see that movie because I don't want to go with her because that's a chick flick...' Ok dude. That doesn't make you cool. That makes you a jerk.

But anyway. I think I just love movies way too much.

Okay. Point.

By esthera in random

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed I think (whatever that means – I always wake up on my side of the bed). But anyway, I’ve been in a kind of funk all day.

This totally makes my day. Thanks, Buzz! You make work enjoyable and fun. This kept me distracted for a good five minutes.

Weather blown

By esthera in movie

It was gray today. I’m sure that had a lot to do with how I felt today. Which was kind of like poo. I missed my Kyudo class this evening. I opted to stay home and relax. Hooray for streaming Netflix and cozy socks! I can’t tell if I’m getting sick.

I just watched She’s All That. Oh my goodness. There’s nothing like watching a high school comedy romance movie when you’re feeling a little ill. Especially an ugly duckling turned Cindarella teen morality feel good movie! I wish that they made Laney Boggs a little uglier and the transformation more drastic. But how do you make Rachel Leigh Cook not so cute? And Yay for Kevin Pollak. I have a soft spot for cool dads. And now for my Favorite Thing: the 2 seconds where you see Peter Petrelli from Heroes.

Lyndon’s at his class. Why do all the freaky unidentifiable sounds always occur while I’m home alone?
