I wanted
to write sooner about this weekend, but something felt strange about it because Monday was a holiday and so, that technically meant that the weekend wasn’t
over, right? Well, I had to work Monday, so, for me, the weekend was over. But
for those of you who had it off, good job. I’m happy for you! You lucky
duckies!
Friday
found me working hard on a manuscript and putting together materials for my
voice actor. I’m working hard on ‘Motivational Marley’ because… well, once you
see it, you’ll see why. I mean, HE’S ADORABLE!! I’ve never felt so much
motivation when it came to editing before I edited his materials together! He’s
wonderful, amazing, and very comforting. I can’t wait to share him with the
world, with ALL OF YOU!! (^v^)
Anyhoo, a
new friend from Japan via Montana arrived Friday night to hang out with her
friend of near 15 years… Lots of drama ensued, which made me re-evaluate my
friendship with said person because… I’m the type of person who can be
mistreated by friends for years and never say anything about it for fear of
troubling the friend. Having friends, at all, to me, is a blessing. Partially
because most of the friends I grew up with are no longer in contact with me,
and also because I’ve NEVER had a boyfriend, so all I’ve ever had were friends.
So, in the past years, I’ve worked hard to leave a BIG community of friends for
the smaller more intimate group of besties that I always see. The friend who
kinda messed up this weekend was on her way to being one for me, but because of
her own selfishness, she removed herself from that position, minimizing our
relationship to a more professional and distant one. So, all I can do is accept
it, you know? … So much drama. Glad it’s over.
I WATCHED “DEADPOOL”
SATURDAY MORNING!! I love watching movies in movie theaters!! In those soft
chairs filled with body odors and farts, drinking water or a fattening
beverage, eating butter-drenched popcorn because I couldn’t tell how much I was
squeezing in… NOTHING beats such an intimate act!! And I LOVE watching
previews!! They give me something to look forward to. Something to yearn for.
Something to pre-laugh at, so that my during-movie sounds are appropriate. The
main friends I watch movies with are in my group of besties. To date, I’ve
watched the most movies with Moon. She’s the reason I have a Stubs card at all!
Second comes Ed, of course! Third is Chris, and Sarah is between first and
second. Hehe! If that makes any sense… JJ and I haven’t seem movies together,
but we talk about them a lot! We’ve also collaborated on ideas for some… soon
to have more info on that!
Personally,
it was more blood than I cared for. The character Wade Wilson was funny and
some of the shots on him were truly extravagant. Like when they found out he
had terminal cancer, the way he watched Vanessa handle as he zoned out was a
BEAUTIFUL shot Chris and I loved. The sense of humor wasn’t EXACTLY what I
enjoyed most, but I did enjoy it, nonetheless. There was a lot more killing
than I expected, a bit more graphic than I thought it would be, but I liked the
action, enjoyed the shots, LOVED the opening credits, and found the film quite
downright clean for a Rated R feature. I can’t wait to see if the next film
stays true to who Vanessa is from the comics! A definite B+ rating from me! Yum! I didn’t need popcorn or a drink
during it! And though I watched it in the morning, my friends and I were
surprised that the theater was more than half full! The entire upper area was
filled. Our group of seven (Moon +2, Ed, Chris +1, and me) sat together in the
front section back row. Still quite enjoyable! And I’d see it again. Yes!
After the
movie came KBBQ at Moon #3! They actually serve milk teas and boba now, which
was strange but yummy! And they have just started serving sushi!! I know!! They’re
really branching out. For reals!! After the late lunch, everyone split, and
Moon took her two friends away. Ed, Chris, and I also split up and let the
evening pass rather uneventfully. Wait, no, that’s not true. Sarah joined us
for lunch but she had things to do. Ed also went home and later hung with
another friend. Chris and I bought 5 boxes of baking mix and headed over to
visit the friend from Montana. We baked 1 batch of large chocolate chip
cookies, 1 batch of lemon cookies, 1 loaf of blueberry bread, 1 loaf of mixed
confetti bread, and 1 loaf of devil’s sinful chocolate cake. YUMMM!! We
chatted, baked, and chatted a LOT. For those of you who don’t know, Chris is
featured on Umbrella Thoughts! We always talk about more intellectual topics
and can’t really help ranting and raving about our opinions and their relevancy
in the society we live in. Close to midnight, we headed out and to bed! Yay!
Valentine’s
Day came and I woke up late. In the morning, the friend from Montana was hurt
and sad so she came to spend the day with me. Yay! And then she took a nap
until close to 3 pm, so I simply contacted my lonely birds and we planned an
early dinner at Black Angus! It was Sarah, Ed, Chris, my Montana friend and me.
The talked, laughed, and ate together. And at the end of the meal, there were
long lines, so we were all thankful we’d gone early! We had dessert at Menchies
in Burbank. Moon +2 were busy, but se la vi! We hung at my place after but
Sarah had to leave! And then my roommate returned, hailing the end of our hang
out. But I had to wait for Marley’s mom to pick up the Montana friend. And when
everyone was gone… it got quiet.
Quite the
weekend if you ask me. I watched and then re-watched Sophina Dejesus’s floor
routine a few times, skimmed through youtube videos, and, aside from the drama,
it was fun and not as lonely. I could only imagine what Chris Pine did. I did
unfold him a few times this weekend, the human life-sized cardboard cutout of
him, that is. LOL. It’s getting closer to MARCH!! I love that month because I
will be heading to Taiwan to do all this… blog and record videos… and,
hopefully, blog!! So… LOOK FOR ME!
Final
Comments… I really hope “Dragon Lady” gets picked up even if the networks end
up changing the title. I’m pretty okay with it!! It’s the story I want to tell.
When the title comes, it’ll stick! Yay! WE NEED DIVERSITY!!
Hope your
weekends were greater than mine!!
