I kind of forgot that used to write these posts. My theme seemed to be watching a movie, drinking and drawing attention to the self-awareness that no one reads this. Genius!
There are probably a billion blogs just like this!
So a lot has changed since the last time I wrote. Let me give you a quick run down of everything:
1. Broke up with older boyfriend and moved back to NYC.
2. Met someone who I then magically transformed into my fiance.
3. Got a job as a project manager for a contracting company.
That pretty much sums it up. As you're probably assuming, they were the three easiest things imaginable to do (SARCASM!)
In less than a month I leave for Disney with my fiance, which was a very wise financial decision. To go from making bank at a steakhouse to making training salary for a month, which is basically one step above a handshake and a smile, was not the ideal situation for going to Disney World. We didn't think it through, but then again, we don't seem to think anything through. Speaking of rush decisions and being insufficiently financed for large expenses, we're getting married in October!
Until we leave for Disney, we're not drinking alcohol. This is going to be hard. Pray for me. That I may accidentally spill an entire bottle of whiskey in my mouth, or die.
So in the off chance that I get to watch a movie by myself (because heaven forbid I do this crazy thing while watching a movie with anyone), it will be less fun because I won't be headed in a downward spiral of drinking.
A quick recap of fun things I've watched in a last year (which is basically the last month because my memory is ruined forever)
I watched Blue Jasmine with Cate Blanchett. It was very well done, and sadly reminded me of someone that I know and am related to. A lot of very scary similarities. It's essentially a movie about a woman who was a horrible selfish moron/bitch who had a lot of money and was married to Alec Baldwin, and then lost him and all her money to jail, as most people do. She had a nervous breakdown and sadly became a horrible selfish moron/bitch with a large undertone of crazy. The movie really got you to think, but all I could really think about was: I hate her.
I saw Frozen! I loved it. I watched it in the theatre. Then again at home and then again at home. I've even found myself telling people to Let It Go and then smile weirdly a them. They never understand. They usually ask me to leave.
Frozen (in case you haven't seen it) is a Disney retelling of the Snow Queen. There is a lot of singing and her sister as a little bit of a ditze (sp?) and they completely blow your mind by redefining true love. Also, talking snowman. Also, Giant playful reindeer.
I've watch, like, 10 Disney animation films recently to get myself in the spirit for Disney (as if that isn't the easiest thing) including, but not limited to The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Up, Finding Nemo, Brave, WALL-E, Hercules, Tangled, Pocahontas, and Scandal.
So maybe it was just 9, but I have been keeping up with Scandal. We want to like you Mellie! but we don't Team Olivia!
I watched Captain Philips! Great movie, Great Tom Hanks, Great Ethiopian.
Gravity. 100 panic attacks per scene, totally worth it. I hate space too Sandy.
The Oscars (kind of a movie), Ellen was hysterical, as planned. I loved when she was like "You went to college right Amy Adams? No? Oh... well thats fine" Or when Jared Leto donated his little golden statue to Ukraine and Venezuela. And they both texted him back 'thnx its jst wut we wantd".
The Wolf of Wall Street, no thank you.
American Hustle, 12 Years a Slave, and Dallas Buyers Club: all very good.
Now so far my favorite is 'her' out of all the major nominees. I once fell in love with a bowl of ramen, so the story really spoke to me about a man falling in love with a computer program. I watched the movie with my fiance, and we both got two very different feelings on the movie. I was all 'aww baby that's so sweet' and he was all 'babe this is really creepy and stop touching me' so maybe this movie isn't for everything. I definitely think that it was romantic in a very quirky way if you buy into the love affair. I also have promised myself that I will memorize The Moon Song so I can sing it to my children someday. If you haven't heard it, well you should. Because you're a monster if you haven't heard it.
That pretty much wraps up where I am with my life in terms of movies.
As for alcohol...
I used to drink only Jack and coke. Then I cut out the mediator and went straight to Jack. Then I upgraded to Makers Mark. And then I became an alcoholic! Life is fun.
So once I get back into the swing of this, we'll have a lot of fun.
You've probably noticed there is an odd picture of me that I haven't made any mention to. I was a leprechaun for Halloween. No questions please.
Love you,
Database.
