Argh... my last 2 days of work have really drained me. If it isn't because of a busy day with customers, it is with the store itself trying to get me running around in circles. But besides all that, just been feeling ill. Like "I want to lay down and not get up till I feel better" kinda ill. Mostly just exhausted, sore, coughing, and headache. It doesn't feel like allergies... just that I want a break, from both work and unpacking.
I would talk about other things like people and events, but I rather wait on that. I think I wrote too much on my other account about someone and... well just no one needs to b\put things together yet on here.
Till then, hopefully I will write my review tomorrow. Otherwise it will just be random stuff again.
I've seen the 'worse' and now I got to live with it. Books, movies, and whatever else I feel like showing.

More delays
I return but not with a story or review, but just to inform that I feel ill. I will explain in due time. That is all.

The Cleanest - A Preview of The Toxic Avenger
If you have ever tried framing photos, you might have realized that it is really easy to get dust and hair in the picture. Try as you might, with all the constant wiping, blowing, and brushing, it only takes another breath before something else is on the glass.
When you work with frames, you got to keep a constant clean state. But even with all the tools you can use, it only takes one prissy uptight customer to point out that there is a gray speck on their white mat and then you have to undo the whole piece to clean, re clean, and then put back together just to have them find something new...argh!
So to take my mind off the horror of staying clean and neat, I decided to re-watch one of my favorite messy movies in my messy room. The Toxic Avenger!
Made by the now infamous Troma Entertainment, T.A. was there first time with horror (with a brilliant twist of gross comedy). In a weird twist to regular horror movies were the monster kills off innocent people in brutal ways, we have a hero monster saving children killing off villains in very brutal ways. Like the Saw series, this brutal way of killing was OK by viewers because they were bad guys, and people don't care if bad guys get killed (cough, some bad history there...). Mostly inspired by that whole messy Nuclear 80's craze (such as Swamp Thing and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) which for a weird turn of events became more of an environmental prevention issue... but I'll talk about that later.
The weird thing about this series is how it has grown over the years, and I don't mean by it's size, but it's remembrance and style. It's now a musical?
It's time to remember what the original was, so tomorrow I will start my review on one of the messiest, grossest, dirtiest series ever made. Be prepared to feel dirty.

Internet Gained!
Hi! I'm back.
Finally got me some internet. But I got work in the morning. I'll update tomorrow with what's been going on, but I will give you a quick run through.
Moved completely out of my old house, still unpacking boxes, hooked up Matt's TV, watched Jackass Movies...

Yeah, that is about it. Just work and unpacking. Hopefully done soon and I can write some stuff down, but I got to finish some art stuff for Sunday.
I'll be back later today.

While I have internet - Withdrawl
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It's been almost 2 weeks since I have had internet! My only sorce is my phone and I can only get so much done with that!
Anyway, quick update -
My room is almost done. We got a refrigerator and food. The living room and kitchen are done. Matt got his new 55" 3D TV and we still need to install it. Got electricity and water (for now, got to make sure Matt paid the bill) Still no internet or garbage pickup. Mostly working at HL...
Also been watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Gremlins. They are a classic!
Now I'm going to try and fix the internet part again. Hopefully this won't be much longer... I got alot of writing I want to get done.

While I have internet - Wanting something...
Not moving anything tonight, so I got sometime to think and look around online.
And I decided to ask myself what it is I want. I mean, just what is my goal?
I guess it's no different for other people... I want somethings and to be happy. But what makes me happy?
Well, there is this one person...
But that is another story.
It's hard to say what I want in life. After a long time, I just want to be heard. To be read about. To tell my stories and let someone be affected by them. Art is changing and constant (and I'll always like that) but stories... there is something everlasting about that. A plot can change a life, a character can inspire greatness, and an ending could set the world ablaze.
So what do I want? What every single straight twenty something year old wants-
A F#CKING GIRLFRIEND!

Almost New Home
Hey, due to quick work and time, I will be busy with work and moving stuff at my rented house. I'll be working on multiple things and be trying to get things ready for me and Matt to move in soon. We moved the stuff from storage and I still need to move alot of my stuff from my room (including bed, TV, clothes) and pay for utilities. We will get set up first and then get some tv with internet soon. But I will be busy for these next few days. So till then, see you again later.

Sucker Punch - A mixed review
So I just came back and saw Sucker Punch.
I went in with hearing negative reviews. So I went in with a armored view.
And after the movie was over I had 2 views-
The Critic in me - Hated it.
The Artist and Writer in me - Loved it.
As I was watching I kept thinking of different mixes of movies.
First was "Inception and Revolver" and then "Painkiller, Afro Samurai, I Robot"... the list went on. But as time passed, I enjoyed the thinking that there was a dash of "David Lynch" in this.
And then I had to laugh. Eraserhead had numbed me to the weirdness of the movie. I kinda enjoyed it.
Oh god, I recommended Eraserhead... think away, think away...
Anyway, the message I liked. Basically the power to do anything comes from you, no matter where your thoughts go. But because of it's multilayer plot, it was hard to follow... while watching it. In the end, it makes sense (kinda), and maybe enough to watch it again another time.
Definitely watch it for the action scenes.
Now to re-watch one of my favorite movies- The Toxic Avenger.
