The Time Traveler's Wife

I'm not a critic I just felt like writing a review, okay?

Friday night Jane and I went to go see The Time Traveler's Wife and I was practically peeing my pants with excitement! I loved the book so much. The movie not so much. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it. I just only liked it.

I felt like they rushed the movie. They went from just meeting in the library, to being married, to trying to have a baby, to dying. There was nothing in between to suggest that they actually loved each other.

I also didn't really like Rachel McAdams. I really think she needs to stop making these movies and try something new. Long live Regina George, bitches! But that's besides the point. I didn't think there was a lot of chemistry between her and Eric Bana. I swear he had more of a flow with the little kids who play young Clare and his daughter.

Speaking of which, I really wish they had added a couple more scene's of Henry with young Clare. Those were always my favorite parts in the book!

That's all folks!

P.S. I hate the movie poster! It's making me dizzy!

Lift Me Up

When I said I wasn't feeling like myself you came and got me. Thank you.

Anywho, I finally went to go see Bruno yesterday with Jane. I loved it! It was so gross and funny and I love every second of it. I actually thought Borat was grosser.

Alright Imma peace out now. Gonna try and finish my book today.

I have a new obsession: Martha Stewart! Obviously I've always known who Martha Stewart is, but I somehow stumbled upon her blog today, and I am hooked! Just the fact that she has two French Bulldogs and one of them is named Sharkey automatically makes me love her. But then I landed on this!

Bunnies! I'm a relatively new Rabbit owner, I've only had Tokyo for about 9 months, but I've fallen head over heels in love with them. If you watch the video you'll spot a couple Dutch Rabbits that look just like my boy! Of course Tokyo is the most handsome out of them all...

I really want to get Tokyo a Holland Lop Rabbit as a girlfriend, but I have to get his little nibblets taken care of first. They want $400 to neuter him! Seriously he's 4 pounds!

Anywho, I'm in a very lovey dovey animal mood. Sorry! :)

The two things I love most in life are animals and family. I'm sure you've been able to figure that out since my pets and my family are common occurrence on this blog.

Saturday was a beautiful day, so I got together with my brother, and we took the kids to the zoo. My Mom actually came along! She never comes along to these family things, because she would just rather stay at home and watch horror movies all day long!

We got there kinda late, so I didn't get to see the Gorilla Congo. That's my favorite favorite exhibit! I could watch those Gorilla's all day, because they're just so human! I wanted to be able to the Gorilla's and my brother was dying to see the Butterflies. Okay Mr. Manly Man!

Lmao I really wanted to color in that sign!

Hmm what else? I rented Rachel Getting Married this weekend. I really liked it and I thought Anne Hathaway did a great job, but the wedding scenes were too long! I loved her room in the movie though. She had dark purple walls with rock posters all over. Loves it!

Oh yeah I switched from Blockbuster to Netflix. Just thought you should know. More than half of the movies I put in my Blockbuster Q are unavailable. So, I either have really good taste in movies or they only have 1 copy of each DVD.

TTYL,

Today was so much fun! Twilight came out on DVD yesterday and today I had a couple of friends over to watch it. My friends Merima and Nicole came over as well as my cousin Manny. Watching a movie with Merima is an experience in it's self. She is too funny! Everyone should be so blessed to have a Merima in their lives!

Of course we talked through out the whole movie and dissected it piece by piece. My Mom was like Omgosh is the way you guys watch movies?! YES! What, you're supposed to be quiet and actually watch the movie? I have never heard of such a thing.

Anyway, I had such a blast hanging out with my friends at home and just wanted to share a couple of pics.

Peace & Love,

O...Saya

I'm alive! Thank you Jesus! I may have to change my identity and move, but I am alive! Okay, let me explain...

I was boarding a dog this weekend and there also happened to be 3 cats. I hate cats. I think they're evil and their whole species should be abolished. Needless to say the cats had very mutual feelings about me. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that they were trying to kill me. I woke up at three in the morning and one of them was lying flat on my leg. The little shithead wouldn't move for nothing! Then when I woke up again to go walk the dog all three of them were surrounding me! Oh my heart!

The next night I woke up to one of them sitting on the pillow next to me just staring at me. I was like oh hell no! NO MA'AM! So, I moved over to the living room and all three of them followed me! NO! LEAVE ME ALONE! I'm sorry, but I locked their asses in the bedroom. No way am I going to allow them to steal my soul while I sleep.

Then this morning one of them hisses at me when I'm trying to feed it. And I was all like "bitch do you wanna eat?! Yeah that's what I thought!" That's also when I realized I was arguing with a cat. ::Sigh::

Something is mentally wrong with people who own cats. And it's not just that they choose this devil reincarnation as a pet, but they always have like 500 of them! Urgh.

So, not only was I trying to stay alive this weekend, but I was also severely bored. Whenever I board at someone's house that's usually the only time I watch TV. ID Discovery is my new favorite channel. I also read two of their books, that I wouldn't really buy. sTori Telling by Tori Spelling and Loose Girl by Kerry Cohen. I actually enjoyed Tori Spelling's book more. I thought it was funny and her Mother just infuriated me. Loose Girl highly annoyed me.

I also finally saw Slumdog Millionaire. Omgosh go see it now! SO GOOD!

Peace Out,
Ashley Venus

P.S. Why the heck is my right eye soooo itchy?!

Daydreamer

Today was just one of those days where I woke up with renewed energy. I had my windows wide open, because it was way too hot in my room last night, so this morning the sun was shining so perfectly on me and woke me up. The weather kind of just set the mood for the rest of the day. Very relaxed and beautiful.

I really have nothing to blog about, but just feel like it. I started a new book yesterday. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. So far so good. I tried reading The Debutante Divorcee, but could not get into it. I'll save it for the beach this summer. Mmm what else? I bought Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist on DVD and LOVED IT! I should also mention that I love any movie made in New York, but this really was a good movie! Michael Cera is brilliant. I want to marry him.

Peace and love,

Ashley Venus

My Life Would Suck Without You

Yooooooooo!

Haha nothing special happened this weekend. Just went to Jersey to visit some family and see my new God Daughter. She's so tiny with such a little head! And my Aiden is the most precious thing ever! Gosh, I love that kid so much. Even though he snitched on me that I took his ball! Haha they were trying to teach him how to whisper and I'm just like he's fully Puerto Rican that's scientifically impossible!

Hmmm, what else? Oh yeah! I got a new Bible and I'm now obsessed with Ryan Seacrest! I downloaded Ryan Seacrest's podcast and I've been listening to him all weekend. He loves himself some Miley! He better what himself! And my Bible is brown, pink, and green! Very cute!

Oh yeah, I also watched Saw 5 on BlueRay. How many more of these movies are they planning on making?! Haha but I still liked it.

Is This Love?

Jane and I should never see movies together! We always end up talking through out the whole thing and laughing at parts that are so not meant to be laughed at! We went to go see Twilight again and this time was no different. But let's be serious everyone there already saw the movie 500 times too!

You see, Jane and I watch movies differently from other people. Why focus on the main characters when the background people are the ones who need to be watched?!

So, we have come to the conclusion that the dude who plays Tyler is the real star of Twilight. This dude manages to be in background of every scene and just gives his best sexy face to the camera!

Next up is the Dominican pimp. He sits behind Edward in the only class Forks High School offers: Biology. I loved him, because in each scene he was talking to a different girl. I see ya pimpin! Jane hated him, because she claimed he had a lumpy forehead and whenever he was in the background she would go "Ugh, he goes lumpy!"

My personal favorite hero of the movie is the black guy at prom! Everyone else at prom is doing those weird hand movements that white people call dancing, while the black dude is dancing like his life depends on it. I LOVE HIM!

Lmao my friend Merima is texting me, and she asked me if Robert Pattinson looked hot in Twilight, and I'm like uhhh he looks the same as he did the last two times you saw the movie! And yes Rob totally makes me jizz in my pants!

Okay, I'm going back to bed and snuggling up with Luna.

Peace and Love,
Ashley Venus

Baby Love

Whoo hoo I have expirenced Twilight in motion picture form and I loved it! I am so glad that they stayed true to the book and didn't add their own Hollyweird twist. However, I do wish that there had been a little bit more romance between Edward and Bella. That part was just a little rushed. And I wish they had added the scene where Bella faints in Biology! That would have been sooo funny! Other than that I really liked the movie.

God, Robert Pattinson is so damn hot! He could have been reading the phone book for two hours for all I care! Come to Mama! Lmao okay let me shut up!

Saturday

My cousin Eli threw a surprise baby shower for his wife Milly and it was so beautiful! I actually don't feel like writing anymore, so I shall leave you with some pics!

Soda Pop

That's me looking all cracked out while watching Saw 2. Scary movies aren't my thing, but My Mom sort of forced me to watch part 1 with her, and I got hooked. So far I really liked part 1 & 2 and now we're waiting for Blockbuster to ship parts 3 & 4.

(My cousin said my super cool blanket makes me look like a polar bear haha!)

I never watch scary movies, because they actually scare me! No matter how silly the movie is, if there's a crazy killer, I'm almost certain he'll be coming after me in my sleep. Seriously, all these people want to kill me! And I don't even want to hear that "it's just a movie." You know why? Because there is some sick fuck out there who actually wrote, thought, and planned out all these sick ways to kill and torture people. Ha, but I actually do enjoy a scary movie when I can bring myself to watch them.

So, that was pretty much my weekend. I stood home all day Sunday and watched movies. In addition to Saw I also watched Sex and The City, and Love Story. I'm surprised I actually liked Love Story. For some reason I thought I wouldn't. But why is it that in a love story somebody alway's has to die?!?! My God! Have we never heard of happily ever after, Hollywood?! Titanic broke my heart into tiny little pieces when Jack died, and now I go ahead and watch Love Story!

My weekend wasn't a total waste though. I did take my Goddaughter Niya out to the Children's Museum of Manhattan on Saturday. Dude, that place is so much fun! I can't wait until I have kids, but until then I guess I'll just be borrowing other people's kids for the next 10 years or so.

Back to the movie thing for a second. Why is that whenever I put a movie into my queue it's never available?! I must have REALLY good taste in movies. Sheesh.
