I am procrastinating like a real G right now! I should be putting my business plan together but instead I am looking out the window at the kids leaving Woodlawn High School and the car which I'm sure is a ford but then he has rims! I had a chevette when I was in high school and NO RIMS LOL we actually rims weren't a thing back then. I am listening to a house mix by Ian Friday which is a mistake because I want to sing ad dance along and we all know I'm at the library. Now the reason I left the house today is because I know the bed would have held me hostage all day. As I watch these kids some look like they have on uniforms and some don't. I don't know what the rhyme or reason is behind any of it. I'm assuming school started this week but no one looks FRESH! no fresh hair cuts. no fresh outfits. Even the weaved up girls don't look fresh. no fresh braids. a few fresh book bags...
And I'm thinking back LAWD over 20 years ago, I guess my crew of friends we didn't really live near each other and therefore didn't take the same bus. at least I don't remember well except for the activities bus.
Maybe Woodlawn Library is not he place to be since its right next to Woodlawn High school and ALL of the children are here!!!
a few days ago...
I am looking at my bank account and I have had a great summer but now I need for money to be coming in and NOT out. But what's funny is I really don't have any frivolous expenses except for cable! my bills are super tight!! Meaning, I live within my means. I haven't bought anything from QVC nor HSN since May 31st so ALLA YOU who think I need an intervention can leave me the hell alone cause I haven't bought nothing. What I need to stop doing is eating out so much because that is eating away (ha I made a funny!!) at my account as well. But my justification is that if I bought the food I might have thrown it away and I hate wasting food. Ok so yeah maybe not really but that's my story!! And I do cook. I made spaghetti last night, cabbage and potatoes au gratin Monday night. The roommate is hella picky so she likes more processed food and thanksgiving food and no one cooks like that anymore. I mean I DO because I don't want her to starve; and my sister indulges her too. And by the time thanksgiving rolls around I'm gonna want lasagna! I actually do like to cook and here lately I've been craving my grandmother's fried chicken but I don't know what she put in it AND she had a copper bowl that she put it in which maybe had something to do with the taste, I just don't know. I've been trying to perfect my potato salad and it is getting there! But I really don't fry a lot of anything so that might be something that may just elude me.
HA... looking on my order history. The earrings I bought that are now broken were $37!! I thought I spent way more. AND THEY ARE ON CLEARANCE FOR $19... MUST. STAY. STRONG.... : O
Ok I just clicked off QVC. It mighta got dangerous!
Why are there 2 security guards at the library?!
I was going to do a review of all the movies I saw this summer... **SPOILERS**
Finding Dory - very cute movie. I'm not a big fan of sequels but I thought this was a cute. I read a few reviews and someone said the whole remembery thing got a little tired, but that is the whole reason Dory helped find Nemo! She was looking for her parents and then started helping Marlin and forgot she was looking for her own family. I cried... BIG SHOCKER! IT only got ridiculous how they kept jumping from different waters like OK really!?!! And I wasn't the onliest adult at the movie. I went at 10:30 in the morning and what I also didn't know was that the 1st show was 6 bucks!! That made my frugal heart so happy
Suicide Squad - I like the super hero movie genre and this was supposed to be the super villains movie, but I really left there like MEH! The premise was that a group of villains were gathered so that if anything major happened they could help correct it or something. BUT the Enchantress who then woke up her brother Incubus (who I had to goggle afterward) was creating an army of bad guys and then ultimately a machine that the villain bad guys were supposed to defeat. I was going to go into all the characters, but nah. They did a back story for each of the characters so you knew why they got to be the way they were EXCEPT Slipknot so I knew his ass was gonna be the first to die!! And he did. I didn't really know why Killer Croc was a mutant except that he JUST WAS. And they made sure to show Harley Quinn's nonass ass. Maybe flat asses get some men (and women I don't judge) off. It was good to see Jai Courtney who plays a big jerk in the Divergent series (oh wait only 2 cause Tris killed him in #2) be a non-jerk although at the end, why didn't he get to pick something he wanted for his cell? Killer Croc got BET (LMBAO) and Harley got an espresso maker... but he didn't get anything. I'm glad I hopped to this one after Dory because I would have been a little mad had I paid for it!
Ghostbusters - So I found a real life cheap movie theater, the ticket was $4.50!! And since I waited so long to see it I had to travel almost the entire 695 beltway (not really... it was just past White Marsh). There were about 3 older white couples and the ones directly in front of me were talking in regular voices even as the movie began. ME being me said pretty loudly ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! They heard me and got the message. IT was almost as if they were like well let's just go see it! Having had no prior knowledge of the Ghostbuster movies in the 80's. They missed ALL of the references and cameos. Like the bust of Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd as the cabbie, and Bill Murray as the ghost debunker. Even Slimer had a cameo! The only person I was shocked wasn't in there was Rick Moranis (I had to do a quick search... he is still alive, maybe they didn't ask him?) I had really high expectations like it was gonna be a laugh a minute. And it was funny, just not AS funny as I thought Leslie Jones did not disappoint ACTUALLY all of them were funny! And then Chris FREAKING Hemsworth. I really didn't watch any previews so just like Idris in Star Trek I didn't even know he was in the movie! He is my white boy/Hollywood crush ALL the time. He is just so pretty **swoon** and you don't have to see it but if you don't then something is really wrong with you. The gag was Kristen Wiig was the only one who initially thought he was a cutie everyone else was like YEAH WHATEVER! I enjoyed him! I had a flashback to when I was 15 an attempted to have a date to go see Ghostbusters 2 at the Penn Hills movie theater but we missed the bus so we hung out in East Liberty I think LOLOLOL WHEW (now I gotta do a quick FB stalk... I think he's married with kids now. His wife is pretty but he never did get his teeth fixed and 1 kid LOL) Back to the movie... Omar from the Wire was in it, and Andy Garcia... and a whole lot of big names. I liked it and I'm glad I got to see it on the big screen. and they had a movie after the movie. Oh you have to stay put until the very last credit is rolled! There was a whole dance scene with Christ and the police/army which was hilarious. OH they got slimed a lot. That was little gross so every ghost had the ability to slime you. YUCK!! And there will be a #2 cause they already set it up that way.
today...
Jason Bourne - I mean so I saw it because it was one of those movies I needed to see. But I honestly should have watched all of the movies that led up to it because I had no good idea what was going on and I'm sure at a pretty pivotal part, I took a lil snooze (which seems to be my norm here lately). I think this movie had a lot of anticipation and probably like it's counterpart, on a lazy Saturday afternoon it will be the perfect movie to watch.
Star Trek: Beyond - I said already that I didn't even know Idris Elba was the main villain in this mostly because I knew the movie was coming out but I really hadn't looked at the trailers. I had heard that they were making the character Sulu gay (which sorta pissed Geroge Takai off who really is gay in real life) and then I got confused because at his desk in the movie he had a picture of a little girl but then when they met with their families it was another Asian man that he greeted. So I was excited to see it but I had no idea what it was going to be about. So basically they went to this planet beyond all this debris trying to save this one aliens crew who lied about her reasons and then Idris had all this makeup.... Ummm I saw this one a while back The good thing is I didn't go to sleep. Obviously I need to see it again.
I was gonna split up the top from the movie review but I found that I didn't have much more to say!
