Who you gunna call?

Gotta love Teletoon at night! to my surprise Terry changes the channel and tell me "Now you know who your going to call"... Thats right GHOSTBUSTERS!!

Love this movie, I remember my parents had the soundtrack on vinyl (I wish I still had it, total wall art) and on the back it had a picture of the dog, you know the one with the glowing red eyes... it used to scare the shit out of me. I would always picture the dog in my mind, like maybe it was lurking in my closet or under my bed.... prime spots for monsters. Now looking at it, I see cheezy '80's special effects... which doesn't make the movie any worse, perhaps it makes it better. The marsh mellow man on the other hand, I wish it was real... perfect for kids parties and camping!.

So... now that its not anywhere near Halloween, and I'll probably change my mind closer to the date... I have found the perfect costume...the Ghostbusters uniform (noooo not the skanky one) but the real one complete with inflatable power pack. Fuck, I'd just order the costume so I could wear the power pack on a daily basis, but that just shows you how much of a nerd I am.

Now its time for bed, I'll be sure to check the closet and under the bed to find a few dust bunneys and maybe my cat.... no crazy red eyed monster dog.

Hey Ladies in the Place, We're callin out to ya

Words cannot express how much I love xtorrent... its my one true love, I swear.. sorry Terry.
I just downloaded the full Discography of the Beastie Boys and am now currently rocking out harder then I did when I saw them in concert. Remember that Bec?, when I almost elbowed you in the face?? ahhaha.

That was my ultimate dream concert, I was like a 12 year old at a Justin Beiber concert. Especially when during their encore they turned up a few rows down from where we were sitting and I balled... and then contemplated throwing my bra at them...however I was wearing a good one and wasn't really ready to give it up, even if it was for Ad-Rock .

In retrospect, I'm sure they wouldn't have appreciated my 8 dollar La Senza special.. but whatevs.

I can't believe that was 6 years ago, next time I see them, I'll make sure to have 2 good bras, one to throw and one to keep.

Strange Wildernesssesssssss

I was standing on my balcony the other night, pitch black outside and no sign of life any where...which is typical for Elkford at night, its so quiet, its spooky. I starting hearing the strangest noises... at first I thought it might of been the drunk kids I saw at the gas station. But I had saw them hours ago, by now they should have been passed out somewhere. WHOOOP WHOOOOP AWOOOOOOOOOOO WHOOP WHOOP, what the fuck is that?!?! Luckily our condo is on the second floor, so if some strange beast lunged out of the woods I would be in the clear...but wait!! if some strange beast did lunge out of the woods, I had no camera to take a picture, again.. where are my priorities?

The noises were so loud, I called Kristina outside to listen (Kristina and her son Brennan were here visiting Austin and Phil)... she was on the phone with Phil at the time so she held out the phone so Phil could listen. Naturally the noises stopped, or at least got a little fainter... what the hell was it?? super creepy.

We were still house sitting for Bec at the time, Terry and Brennan were over there playing video games. So I texted Terry

"There is some strange wilder noises going on outside of our condo"
"Oh yea?, what does it sound like" - How do you make sounds via text??
"Whooping and howling noises, maybe a coyote or an Elk?"
"Are you inside?"
"Yes"
"Good."

Greeeeat. Now, Brennan had walked over to Becca's house and I had Becca's van. So my first thought was, Brennan was going to be wilder meat if he walked home. So, I texted Terry saying that I was coming to pick Brennan up, he thought that was a good idea.

Grabbed my keys, my coat... put on my shoes and thought "Fuck that, if there is some strange beast lurking around my condo, who's to say its not in my parking lot".
I grabbed the bear spray. To my convenience Bec's van has auto start, so as soon as I left the front door I started the van, put the bear spray in my bag and held on to the panic button.

Got to the van, no problem.. drove 'round the corner, no problem... pulled into Bec's driveway, no prob... get out of the van and floored it to the front door. Home safe, for now... until I have to drive Brennan back. I go downstairs where they were still playing video games, the fear of god in my eyes. Terry once again asks me to mimic the noises I heard... this time it was a little easier because I didn't have to spell whoop with seven o's in Caps.

"Hmmm sounds too me like you heard a grizzly or maybe a Samsquanch (Sasquatch)"
"Are you sure? I was hoping for an Elk"
"Noo noo Grizzly's make a Whooping sound"

Damn global warming, making the bears come out early.

"So where is the bear spray?"
"In my bag"
"What good is it in your bag?"

I suppose he was right, if some lurky beast lunged at me, I couldn't very well tell him to hold on a sec while I get my bear spray out of my bag. But what would the neighbors have thought? me carrying this huge canister in my hand for a few feet to the car? "Look at that crazy big city girl, thinks a bear is going to eat her alive in the parking lot".... you never know.

Needless to say, I made Terry drive Brennan back to our place, I couldn't go through that again!...better hide in the safety of Becca's basement with the dog. Strange Wilderness.

I am proud to report though, that no humans were harmed in the making of this blog. And for the lurky beast, I hope to never find out what you are...unless of course if I have my camera.

Banana Phone

Everyone in Elkford has the same prefix (865) in their phone numbers, so when you go somewhere people just expect to hear the last 4 digits. That goes for the post office, the video store, making an appointment...so it goes without saying that I do not have an Elkford 4 digit phone number, so its a dead give away that you're an out of towner when you don't give 4 digits, you give 7.

So when you go into the video store the protocol is you give the guy your 4 digit number, naturally I don't fallow that.. so when I start beaking off my phone number and it doesn't start with 865, he stares at you blankly. I just made his day a little harder, he has to pay attention and start all over... delete the 865 and start with 893. Yes sir, I do not have an Elkford phone number, I have a big city phone number consisting of many different prefixes, 727, 479, 744, 477, 889, 383, 382.... nowhere is there an 865.

I love the video store here, every time you go in, its the same East Indian dude... he always has sports blasting on the t.v and he just stands there and stares at you... never have I ever heard him make a full sentence... its usually "Hello" "Phone Number" "Thank You" badda bing badda boom. The selection in there is pretty stellar, he still rents out n64 games, VHS... in fact he sells VHS videos... nothing recent but the fact that it still exists here blows my mind, he also had Blu-Ray and DVD. He opens at 1pm closes at 9pm, prime rental times.

In the past 3 days I have rented 4 movies:

The Box: Totally frustrated that I will never get the 2 hours from my life watching it back. It starts off okay, but then it gets all weird and strange... and you never really quite understand whats going on.

Precious: Unbelievable!, amazing and raw. Its amazing to me that people out there, in this "civilized" world that incest and rape still exist. And the fact that mothers and fathers let this bullshit happen to their children makes me sick to my stomach. All the hype about this movie is real, Oprah Winfrey once again was right about something and there is no doubt in my mind that Monique totally deserved her Oscar.

Up in the Air: Is George Clooney ever in a bad movie?

Paper Heart: Charlyne Yi is the most awkwardest person ever, she is so awkward its cute. Its a documentary about how she doesn't believe in love, so she goes around America interviewing people who have been married for years, divorced, scientists.. everyone. Along the way, she gets introduced to Micheal Cera from a friend and they start dating. I tell you, I totally have a geeky 16 year old girl crush on Micheal Cera, its hard not too...everyone loves a nerd. Anyways, I haven't laughed so hard at a movie until I saw Superbad for the first time. Def didn't regret giving up the 2 hours from my life to watch that.

So there ya go, movie reviews in a nut shell.

Back home my friend Sam and I used to go on photo missions, I've been doing alot of photo missions here (by myself...not the same with out Sam) so soon, I will have more picture postings and all ya'll can see what I see everyday!

Did you know that when you boil water in high altitudes it boils faster? but it boils at a lower temperature...so when you finally get 'round to drinking your tea, its usually always cold.

Next time, I'm going to drink it right out of the kettle.
