8:44AM - Boxing Helena
I just rented this movie... I was excited because it was the only thing I've seen Sherilyn Fenn in since she played Audrey on Twin Peaks...
I knew that this movie was directed by David Lynch's daughter... so I imagined it would be just as weird and crazy as Twin Peaks or Fire Walk with Me... But it was actually a heart warming love story! (... in the same line that Stephen King's Misery was a heart warming love story...)
If you have not seen it, rent it! But DO NOT read the back of the box! It gives away spoilers!!
Have any of you seen it? What did you think of it?
( Spoilers may live under here.... )

The Complete Ballad of Halo Jones, a graphic novel depicting the life of a young woman named Halo Jones who managed to become a war hero and meet many famous people just by being herself... a normal everyday girl. Overall I really enjoyed this graphic novel. Have any of you read it? What did you think?

4:19PM - The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick
The Last Book in the Universe by Rodman Philbrick
I found this book extreamly enjoyable. Although I found it difficult to get into at first... future dystopian/postapocoliptic (it falls under both catagories) realities are apparently filled with slang words. But once you get passed the slighly akward beginning... the story really moves! The main character is a young man named Spaz and he our guide through the world of the Orb and introduces us to such characters as Ryter and Little Face.
Overall score: 4.5 out of 5.
Have any of you read it? What did you think?

12:11PM - Shadow Children
I just finished reading the first three books of the Shadow Children Series. The series takes place in a near future after a large famine caused the government to step in and take full control of food population. Families were forced to give up pets as they use food that could be used to feed people. Also, the number of children that a family could have was limited to two. The Shadow Children was a title given to a family's third child who was forced to hide from the Population Police. I enjoyed the first two books immencily. They covered the story of a twelve year old Shadow child's family life and what being a third child was like. The third book covers the story of a completely different shadow child... which would be okay, but I was invested in the first child and wanted to learn more about him.
I felt that although it was a young adult series, that it accuratly depicts a possible future. Population control aready exists in certain areas of the globe and the social system between farmers and the barons would exist as well.
Overall I give the first 2 books 4 out of five stars, the 3rd book I would only give a 2.

There should be a rule....
If it is spring, and the temperature has already reached 85 degrees...
We should not, a week later, have to worry about snow.
It's just not right.

Hello. I need help finding Post Apocalyptic Books. Fiction or non-fiction, is irrelevant. If you know of a great "after the end of the world" or "while the world is coming to an end" book... tell me about it! I'm also interested in Dystopian societies as well (like Fahrenheit 451 or 1984)
9:36AM
Today I met an actual Giddien. Like those faceless people who stick Bibles in every single hotel and motel in America. They were handing out small pocket sized Bibles outside of my school. When offered a Bible, I said no thanks, that I already had like, five at home and one of them says "do you have one in your car?" Why would I need one in my car? I can't read and drive at the same time...
It was just a bit surreal is all...

7:04PM - I'm not sure how I feel about this....
France's National Assembly passes a bill to make promotion of anorexia and extreme thinness a criminal offence.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/-/1/hi/world/europe/7349607.stm
Nothing good comes from Anorexia or extreme thinness. But if they do that then they would be able to censer anything considered "harmful" to people.
What do you think?

8:50AM - Songs my parents used to sing to me when I was little....
I think this actually explains alot about my personality.... Are these real songs or did they make them up?
My mom used to sing this:
"You ought to see Mr. Jones as he rattles his bones,
Ol' Colonal Brown dancing 'round like a clown,
Ms. Virgina who was passed 83,
shoutin' out full of pep "Watch yer step! Watch yer step!"
One legged Joe dancin' 'round on his toe,
Threw away his crutch and hollered "Let'em go!"
Oh honey, Hail! Hail! The gangs all here for an Alabama Jumbalee!"
My dad used to sing this:
"Dead skunk in the middle of the road,
Dead skunk in the middle of the road,
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road
And its stinkin' to high heaven!
You got your dead cat and your dead dog
On a moon lit night you got your dead bull frog
You got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon
All the blood and the guts is gonna make you swoon!
Dead skunk in the middle of the road,
Dead skunk in the middle of the road,
You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road
And its stinkin' to high heaven!"
Current mood:  amused
7:09AM
"Even in the most generous accounting, fate has a lot to answer for. Romeo and Juliet met on a Sunday and were dead by Thursday. This was a fact Sara had picked up at an academic seminar, "Shakespeare's Love and Time: Counting Our Days"--something like that--wedged between lectures on Ophelia's eating disorders and Macbeth's compulsive gambling. Someone had actually taken it upon himself to count the days in that play, a ludicrous venture Sara had thought at the time. But it was an instructive fact, one that stayed with her. This was the true lesson of Romeo and Juliet: The course of destiny was hard and swift. That stranger you met on Sunday could be the corpse of your true love draped artfully over your own cadaver on Thursday. You just never knew."
