Procrastination Thy Name Is LJ


So class for this year end today for me. I'm this --| |-- close to being finished my third year. I'm not quite sure what to do with myself. I still have no clue what I am going to do with myself after next year.

Easter was good, dinner with the extended family, lots of chocolate and they managed to convince me to get some new clothing. It's actually feminine? This never happens! Great Grandma's birthday was also really good, I don't know if I mentioned it. I knew all of like four people there that weren't my immediate family but Mom moved around the room talking with people she hasn't seen in year and Grandma Annie seemed to love it so all was well.

Monday I brought Pedro (my car) back to London with me and the parking spot I have been using was occupied so I squeezed between Souvlaki man's posts and the side of our building to park on the property that belongs to our building. Souvlaki man freaked out. He came and banged on the door and then proceeded to yell at me about parking there despite the fact that Pedro was on my fucking property. At any rate we fought and then I eventually moved the car and parked in the pay lot out back, went to bed around midnight and then had to wake up at quarter to six so that I could move the car before I got a ticket. So I hauled my ass out of bed and ran through the torrential rain, hopped in the car only to look up and see that someone had taken a swing at my windshield and cracked the shit out of it. Just a little too co-incidental if you ask me, so I filed a police report and drove back to Alton for the second time within twelve hours. For now Pedro is home for good, or until I figure something else out. Just a little more than pissed off. This makes getting to AO really difficult and teen group is finally starting up again.  /rant

I've seen a bunch of movies lately so quck reviews:

Alice in Wonderland   2/5
In all honesty it was really only OK, I went in expecting a lot more from Tim Burton. I mean it was good but it wasn't spectacular. The best part of it, in my opinion, is the March Hare, not Depp as the Hatter, not Helena B.C. as the Red Queen, but Paul Whitehouse voicing the March Hare. The little doormouse was also really good, the secondary characters in general kind of stole the show.
 
Clash of the Titans   3.5/5
For a remake it was pretty good. In regards the recent actions flicks... it was still pretty good. It was a little bit slow in parts but watching 20 feet of Sam Worthington more than makes up for it. They bent fact a little for the movie which kind of irked me (Perseus is Poseidon's son, not Zeus') but it was still done well. Hades may have been my favourite from the actor side, Fiennes did a really good job.

How to Train Your Dragon  5/5 
By far the best movie that I've seen in a while. It moved along quickly (which is expected in a children's movie, gotta keep em entertained) but it was REALLY well done. There was a lot of humour and quick wit, a lot of things in there for the adults (which again is common in kid's movies but this was really good for it). The dragons were varied and hilarious in parts, the voice actors were phenomenal, like all kids movies there was a good take home message. And in all honesty it scratched my viking itch which makes it even better in my books.
