“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”

I screamed.








Baaaaah. I'm excited.
But I don't want to be.
Because I'll be disappointed.
It's what always happens.
P.S. I couldn't find Peeta. What a sick joke.

I almost cried.

I watched this, not 5 minutes ago. I had to post it. Yes, it looks creepy, but everyone must see how handsome he looks without the scar and the goofy glasses. Watch it. I promise, it's worth your while. Especially if you are a Harry Potter fan.

Beauty, Eh?

Since yesterday was Canada Day, I figured I should probably celebrate. Which I did, by watching probably one of the greatest 80's movies of all time.
Strange Brew: The Adventures of Bob and Doug McKenzie
If you've never seen this movie, I highly recommend it. Definitely one that makes you ache with laughter. They have Canadian accents, wear lumberjack clothing, drink beer, and have a flying dog. Nothing beats that.


If you have a strange, but strong desire to watch this film, let me know. 
I own it, and will be more than happy to make your day much more comical.

Failed Attempt

I think with Summer, comes the stupid ideas 
that are an obvious result of not being in school.
Like trying to make a box fort.


 We obviously had to go dumpster diving for boxes.


 We snatched them from Seagull Book.



 Stashed them.
But once we had the boxes, 
it turned into chaos. 
Ashley got revenge on Cailey.



 A result: Cailey got a free arm wax.
Then we..
Got down to business. 



 Construction names
Stacie: Tank the tapper.
Cailey: Rauch? 
Lys: Hank the hider. She hid in the shade half the time.
Ash: Hammer. Because you know, she's all tough and everything.


 Cailey's job was to rock her Romper, which she did.


We didn't have any Blueprints. 
So it went down hill and turned out like this.


Ashley just stayed in our so called "tunnel."
She even tried to Hula-hoop in it.


Cailey was like a mad woman and broke every box.


Then she went nude. In the box.
Psych. She had clothes on, don't worry.
Within 15 minutes, our box fort attempt was a fail.
So we went inside to watch Anchorman (edited of course).


Cailey took a nap.


Right up the snore maker.


Moral of the Story? Box forts only work when you have mature friends.
I think immature friends are more entertaining.

Mona Lisa Smile


If you are a female, and have not seen this movie.
Watch it. It gave me a whole new insight.
Back then, this was expected. This was all women were supposedly good for.


In this generation, it's now acceptable to be both a mother, wife, and an inspiration.
Exhibit A: Sarah Pallin 


Calm down. I'm not going all politics on you. Just saying, she is a mother, and an inspiration to a lot of people.

IMDB says this about the movie:
"Katherine Ann Watson (Julia Roberts) has accepted a position teaching art history at the prestigious Wellesley College. Watson is a very modern woman, particularly for the 1950s, and has a passion not only for art, but for her students. For the most part, the students all seem to be biding their time, waiting to find the right man to marry. The students are all very bright and Watson feels they are not reaching their potential. Altough a strong bond is formed between teacher and student, Watson's views are incompatible with the dominant culture of the college."

It inspired me. To the max. 
Don't worry, I won't go all anti-motherhood on anyone.
Just a new view.

Let's be Frank...

No thanks, I'd rather be Stacie.
Confused? Good.
Let's talk movies. Summer movies. Just for a bit.
People go nuts. It's a midnight premiere every week for some.
The lines are chaos, people dress in strange clothes claiming to be movie characters,
most of the time you end up in a poop seat, unless you wait an eternity in line.
But usually the movie is pro-status, and it's worth it.
That is until last year, when the WORST movie of all time came out.

Sounds pathetic, but it ruined my summer.
I stalked this movie for 2 years before it came out.
Everyday. That's right. Every. Stinkin'. Day.
I could go on. But to sum it up, it was so horrific,
that I haven't watched an episode since it came out.

This summer will make up for it though.
I guarantee. Because this movie is coming out in a month.
I have no doubt it will be spectacular.

So brilliant.
Too bad I'll be in Powell.
Unless my cousins are willing to find a theater in Arizona,
I will be seeing it a week or two late.
Please, all you midnight viewers, don't spoil it for me.

This movie. I'll be seeing it at midnight, wherever I am.
No question.


Oh baby. That's what's good.
