I'm still here.....

So. It's been over two months since I last posted anything. Whoops.

My life during that gap has been... interesting. Not everybody gets to run through the gamut of human emotion on a daily basis, so I figure I'm lucky. Or something.

I am currently hobbling around like an old woman. Lesson learned: never push yourself too hard on the inner thigh workout machines. Groin muscles are able to exact a particular sort of immobilizing excruciating pain that cannot be ignored.

So what do you do when you're unable to do much more than curl up in the fetal position on the mattress on the floor of the dining room that has been your makeshift room for going on six months? Watch movies you've downloaded but not gotten a chance to watch yet.

Starting with Say Anything.

I sorta want my own Lloyd Dobler. Well. Yes and no. I get the feeling he's just a tad bit on the "too sensitive" side and would ultimately get on my nerves. It would nice to pal around with him for a few months at the very least.

John Cusack is one of the few actors who have been solidly typecast over the years that don't get on my nerves. I think it's the oddly attractive, pointy-chinned face coupled with the mildly snarky wit that is delivered in such a manner as to seem both rushed and hesitant at the same time. Yep. That's it. I'm drawn to contradictions. John Cusack crush = explained.

Then I watched Twilight.

First and foremost, like many other people, I have a little thing for the idea of vampires. I wouldn't want to be one (although it would be totally bitchin' to live forever) because I couldn't handle not being able to sit in the sun (although if I were a Twilight vampire I could... hmmmm). However, being seduced by a vampire might be very fun indeed. This fascination with vampire seduction is one of the reasons I decided to watch this silly movie. That, and the lead guy is kinda hot. In a brooding, blood-sucking, soulless, undead monster with too much white foundation sort of way.

I was expecting crap, and I got it in spades. I can already guess at a few things that are going to happen in upcoming movies. I laughed at the casting choice for the dad vampire, and at all the bad blonde dye jobs/white face makeup. I laughed at the random indigenous people warnings. I laughed at the crap dialogue.

I pretty much spent the entire movie laughing.

But. I did enjoy a couple of the seduction scenes. Even if they were super creepytown pedophilia because whilst he may look 17, he sure as hell is a lot older.

Now we're going to watch Pineapple Express. Should be better.....
