Frame by frame, to the extreme


My boyfriend jokes about me being a prude so we went to see American Reunion tonight.

This was after my half and half day at the work branch and the home branch – awesomeness.

It wasn’t awful, but as I haven’t seen any of the others there are a lot of characters to keep track of, plus the random extras so there were a few, wait who’s that? moments.

But worth driving out.

Mostly because I got to see him, but the movie wasn’t bad either.

We will have to watch the previous ones as then this one will make more sense.

I do like the actors involved, Tara Reid, Alyson Hannigan, Mena Suvari, John Cho, Seann William Scott though that role kind of typecasts him for life.

After all that I came back and watched The Voice instant eliminations that I had DVR’d, sad that even more of my people have been cut, but understand as this week they were the least impressive.

So, now I’m down to these:
1. Jordis Unga - yes she is my favorite and i've raved about her for weeks so get over it. - kicked out during instant elimination
2. Pip - rockin' the bowtie man - kicked out during instant eliminations
3. James Massone - he's just so good and i love his letterman jackets - kicked out during instant eliminations
4. Tony Luca - former mouseketeer
5. Angie Johnson - aka the marine - kicked out during the battle rounds
6. Jermaine Paul - backup singer for Alicia Keys
7. Juliet Simms - gravelly voice of awesome
8. Adley Stump - country rocker - kicked out on the battle rounds
9. Sera Hill - killer runs - kicked out during the live rounds
10. The Line - killer duo - kicked out during the battle rounds

I’m gonna miss Pip’s bowtie and James’ letterman jackets.

It’s interesting, Christina and Cee-Lo’s teams’ performances are much more in your face dramatic with lots of color and graphics and while Adam and Blake’s are more relaxed. Like last week Team Xtina sang “Fighter” with their coach and they’re all decked out in costumes and dancers all over the place and Cee-Lo’s group did “Dancin’ In The Street” and everything was disco retro while last week for Team Blake they did Heartache Tonight, which I posted, super simple just sitting together minimal dancing, and tonight Adam’s team played together as a band and he didn’t sing a word he just played drums with Tony on guitar, Pip on keyboards and Mathai and Katrina singing.

So now all effort and support and crazy fangirl goes to Juliet Simms and Tony Lucca. Which based off tonight's performances I think they should be safe.
He’s a former Mouseketeer and he re-vamped “Hit Me Baby One More Time” by Britney, loved it. As did Christina. They should have a reunion on stage cause seriously there’s those two plus Britney, Justin, and then you’ve got actors like Keri Russell and Ryan Gosling. Aka Felicity and “you’re photoshopped!”

So apparently I need to train my cat to stop biting me in my sleep. Which is easier said than done.

Any ideas?

I think my sister used a spray bottle and some point with her cat but everything I read online is like super cheesy.

Look the cat in the eye and tell him no firmly so he can sense your disappointment or something to that effect.
"Cartoon Heroes" Aqua

An Unbelievable Barbie Girl whose Favorite Mistake is to be Never There while they Say a Little Prayer 90s Music Day Three

I think I used the word "Cheeseball" to describe myself about 50 times within 5 minutes. Sad day. I'm filling out this reviewer profile thing to be put on the website and I've filled it out and deleted it like 3 times already because I feel like a total cheeseball. Ramblings and Recommendations on here is one thing, on there I have to be all professional and sound smart and all that stuff. It's like a fulltime job. Which technically, it is. Black in the Crevices people, Black in the Crevices. My Life in Closed Captions: "I'm just coloring in the chicken feathers."

Quotes of the day:
"I'm gonna go all tea party..." (supervisor choosing book about history of america during staff meeting this morning
"Cream of whatever...no chunks." second sister describing hospital food

Day Three
1. Awesome rock song (probable crossover with pop category)
2. Cool pop/rap song (probable crossover with rock category)
3. Mandatory Country song - since that's what I was mostly listening to in that time of life.
4. TV tie-in - soundtracks and all that
5. And a yes, I did listen to this song and do continue to when it comes up on my ipod, I don't care if it makes me a total dweeb.

1. "Never There" Cake 1998

Love this song.

2. "My Favorite Mistake" Sheryl Crow 1998

While I'm not wild about the video I am about the song. It was my favorite for years but got edged out of its top spot by Aaliyah's "Are You That Somebody" which I already posted during favorites week (another 90s song) so I won't double post it. Even though it's fantastic.

3. "Unbelievable" Diamond Rio 1998

Another old favorite. I love all their stuff, my family actually has our own lyrics to "Meet in the middle", maybe I will post them later in the week.

4. "I Say a Little Prayer" My Best Friend's Wedding 1997

Haven't seen this movie in forever but this is the best part by far.

5. "Barbie Girl" by Aqua 1997

Aw the flashbacks. Mostly ones of high school, me and Smo laying in our neighbors bunk beds listening to this song on repeat even though the neighbors weren't in their room. I mean, they were originally. But then they left. And somehow we ended up staying. It was a long time ago, we actually just talked about that this weekend. "How did we get there?" "Why did we stay?" I just remember one of the upper classmen walking by, seeing us and going, "This isn't your room..."

And she's out!!...for the night.
