Yes, I know. I'm late again.
Went out to dinner with the boyfriend's family for his birthday and then after we went to see the Hobbit 3D.
Which didn't get out 'til midnight.
It was pretty good though. Not as good as the first movies but maybe the sequel will be better.
Scale of Awesome puts it at around 7/10. It had it's moments. That sounds like it's bad, it's not bad. It was good, just not as good as I thought it would be. But it's hard not to build it up when the first three were awesome.
Though I do enjoy Martin Freeman as Bilbo. Benedict Cumberbatch was in it as well, though you couldn't tell it was him. Looks like he'll have a bigger role in the next two. I just love that both of them are in it.
Please tell me you've seen the latest BBC version of Sherlock.
If not go here: Amber Atkins that is not American Teen Princess Language
What else from yesterday?
Slept in, jammed out with the boyfriend. Watched Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter - which I've already reviewed here: Dick Cheney, Vampire Slayer - and The Raven. I slept through part of it but for the parts that I watched it was pretty good. Think I'll go back and watch it again. At the moment it's around an 8/10, but maybe that'll change once I see it all the way through.
Alright, on to the music.
Christmas Music that Doesn't Suck: Day Nine
Baby it's cold outside - She and Him
love these guys. in my top 5 of favorite bands.
Silver bells - Twisted Sister
ummm, okay. so the beginning is a little questionable. okay the whole video but the music is great.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree - Brenda Lee
original version is still the best
I'll be home for Christmas - Kristin Chenoweth
great voice, very impressive.
and good timing as i'm headed out to the farmhouse this weekend.
me and carter, i'm sure my mother is thrilled.
but it'll probably be like last year - take him home over christmas and then he'll stay there through new years. otherwise i have to load him up and bring him back twice and he hates the car. as you've heard many times. i'm sure if you looked hard enough you could find multiple lists of the songs he hates.
and i'm off.
For last year's Day Nine go here

Dick Cheney, Vampire Slayer
Hit up "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" with the "oh wise one" aka my smart Valedictorian friend from high school.
She reminded me that the last movie we saw together was another Sci-Fi wait-what-just-happened movie way back in like 2006ish. Though you may remember it as X-Men 3: The Last Stand.
Afterwards we walked around town and talked about tennis, and we did the same tonight.
Our plan originally was to at some point get together and play tennis. I suck and the last time I remember actually playing tennis was in grade school. And the majority of that PE class was spent running.
Cause I'd hit the ball over the fence.
Not the net, the fence surrounding the courts.
Then Schomberg was like, "go get it."
Crap.
So I'd go get it, bring it back, and hit it over the fence again.
But I blame that on the Williams sisters.
Though I don't think many people can blame bad tennis playing on the Williams sisters.
My excuse is that I feel the need to like slam the ball really hard cause you have to have that whole grunt factor thing - who doesn't watch tennis just to hear them grunt repeatedly? - but! apparently if you hit the ball too hard it will fly over the fence.
Especially if you're a grade schooler with no aim cause you never play tennis.
Where was I going with this?
Oh right, I suck, but she's good. And now I live in a apartment complex with a tennis court. And we have rackets, so we are going to attempt to play some tennis. At some point in the future.
And these courts have high fences so I think I'll be okay.
Running these streets would be obnoxious cause it's just houses and they have dogs and blah.
So I'll use that as motivation.
Anyway, so Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - we figured if it sucked we'd sit in the back and make colored commentary. But actually it was quite entertaining.
why yes, that is johnny cash.
Scale of Awesome isn't quite sure how to rate it, but I think I'd put it around a 7/10. Ish.
I don't know, not something I'd see again, but the premise was so interesting that I had to see how they could make such a random and out there storyline work.
Though I don't quite believe that vampires fought in the Civil War.
It did have a cool historical aspect to it.
And she's smart so she's like, "Is that supposed to be Jefferson Davis?" and I laughed and then he called him Mr. Davis so I was like "heck yeah, it is!"
Flashbacks to watching election results during play practice and the creation of "John Thune Rocks My World" homemade t-shirts came to mind.
Anyway, Quotes of the night:
"You don't think he could pull it off? Dick Cheney, Vampire Slayer?"
"It'd be more like Dick Cheney, Everyone Slayer."... "I'd be more scared to be on his side."
awww, no love for friendly fire
"Mary Todd is gonna kick her ass."
the actress who played her was fantastic but it drove me crazy cause i couldn't place her. now with the help of IMDB i realize she is both Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim and Lucy McClane from Live Free or Die Hard aka Mary Elizabeth Winstead which i think i also discovered about her on here a while ago, probably in this post: My Life in Closed Captions: That poster needs more exclamation marks.: "Scott, if your life had a face I'd punch it." yep that's the one.
I could place Dominic Cooper but originally couldn't think of his name. All I could think of was "Mamma Mia Boy".
The dude that played Abe - Benjamin Walker - was pretty great with the ax. Very impressive. Apparently he actually worked on that for months so it would seem authentic.
The movie itself didn't have any one-liners but there were humorous physical aspects to it. So we did add some colored commentary when those came around.
So yeah, I'd say around a 7/10 on the Scale of Awesome.
Though not quite awesome enough to make me want to read the novel.
Alright, off to bed. As fun as 4-6 was today, it's back to the regular 9-6 tomorrow so I'm gonna turn on some Wipeout and crash.
Cause I'm into remakes this week apparently
Who Are You - Brown Derbies
at first i was like, wait what is this again? then like ohhh....got it.
Study Maybe - University of Maryland School of Medicine 2015
stick with it, highly amusing but probably moreso for people in the medical profession
out!
