Part II (Doesn't that title seem way too short? Maybe it needs a song lyric or somthing...)

There I go with the dot-dot-dots again. :( I'll never outgrow it. I guess old habits die hard.
Ok, before I go on to part II, I want to talk about two days ago and what I did, and also the movie we watched a couple nights ago (grossness!). Well, I guess that all is part of Part II.
I'd like to preface this by saying that we don't watch movies everyday, because it may start to seem like that. We only get about three channels on TV, so we watch more movies than the average household, but not that many. Just lately, we've activated a Christmas gift we got from my grandparents: 3 months of free Netflix. So Mom wants to watch the movies and get them sent back soon. And we've had a lot of free nights after busy days. Just didn't want you all to think that all we do is watch movies. ;)
So two nights ago we watched Red Eye. Just came out recently, and it's this movie about an assassin dude on a plane, and he basically uses the pretty hotel manager next to him to help him kill the government guy. Only she doesn't co-operate. You can all guess how Hollywood ends it (same as every other movie of course), but it was so gross because she had to get away, and she ends up sticking a pen in his throat. :( *sickness*
Yeah.
And then he grabs a scarf to wrap around the hole in his windpipe while he's chasing her around the airport, and he can hardly breathe.
I get a little squeamish when it comes to sticking pens in peoples' throats. You can't really blame me for that now, can you?
Then yesterday we watched Poseidon, which was supposed to have my second cousin in it, only they cut out her scene (she was an extra). Go figure. They always do that to the extras...
But it was really really really good. And Klaus Badelt did the music!!!!!!!
Mr. Pirates of the Caribbean piraty music dude. At least, for the first movie. Until he and Mr. Director got in a fight and Hans Zimmer had to do the second one...not a bad replacement though:) Ha-ha.
Oh yeah, everyone go haunt Belegwen's blog because she promised me she'd post. And she wants lots of comments.
But Poseidon was pretty clean, all things considered (lot less swearing than you would think for a movie about a ship getting hit by a rogue wave and flipping over and then taking a long time to sink). And I knew a couple of the actors (Kurt Russel and Josh Lucas) from other movies, so that's always cool.
And today we went to the theater because through my orthodontist I get free movie tickets after every teeth cleaning. That's really sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We saw One Night With the King. It's a movie about Esther, and that whole story, and it was really well done. And the actors! I knew like half the cast!
To start with, uncle Mordecai is our beloved dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), and then we have the power-hungry delusional prince who wants to become king (again, every stinkin' movie!) with a long, hard-to-pronounce name, played by our favorite bad guy (after Sean Bean, of course), Denethor, lord and steward of Gondor (John Noble). And then the eunich (I really can't hear that word without thinking of Pirates, lovely singing voice though; eunich!) who takes care of Esther was the black pirate from PotC, the one who hits Elizabeth at the beginning. I don't know his name...I could look it up if I really cared that much I guess... Then king Xerxes looked familiar, but I'll have to look it up to see if I know him from anything. And the last guy was the king's general, who was played by Omar Sharif, who is the sheik dude in Hidalgo.
I was waiting for a few mor LotR members, but, you know, you can't hog 'em all! It was a really good movie though.
Two nights ago during Red Eye, my dad made popcorn. I honestly hope that someday you all have a chance to savor the heaven of my dad's popcorn, but until that day, Belegwen is my witness that it's the best in the world. Without question.
Yes, I have braces. No, I haven't had any of my dad's famous popcorn since I got them on over a year ago. Yes, I had some!!!!!!!!!!! *happy sigh*
Also had a Honeycrisp apple. Have you tried them? They're those huge ones as big as your face (well, if you have a super-small face that is) that cost like $2/lb. And I know why now....heaven.....
Oh and the other thing! I finally got pictures taken of me and my cats! I mean, professionally. And they turned out so great!!! Besides the fact that Comet was a major major pill. But she mellowed down some at the end. And Lil was great! And I also got some shots of just me. I'll post some of the cats when we get them. If anyone wants to see some, let me know and I'll e-mail them to you. It was a lot of fun.
Yesterday I got bored so I made chocolate mousse cups. You make chocolate mousse (a project in itself) and then you put it inside these cups that you make by: taking a muffin cup thingy and painting melted chocolate chips into it. Then you let it harden. Then you do another layer. Then you let it harden. Then you do another layer. Then (can you guess? I'll give you a big hint....we've been doing it ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!!!) you let it harden. And finally you take the muffin wrappers off and put the mousse in.
Then you eat them all.
Well, maybe save one or two for your parents...I guess. *evil laugh* Mwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! *laughs evilly and hysterically*
I'm so glad the Seahawks won today!!!!!!! Because my dad was happy instead of grumpy!!!!!!!
Really, football's ok, but it's not my thing. My dad confuses me when he tries to talk about stats and explain details, and my mom and dad scream like crazy people when they watch the games and it get weird. I like it, but not nearly like I love baseball. It was a great game though. Really quickly: We were winning 27-21 over the Rams with like 2 1/2 minutes left in the game, then they scored a touchdown to make it 28-27. Then we used I think two downs to get it to the 45 yrd line (or somewhere in there, I'm sure dad would be correcting me left and right: "It was 2 min. 36 sec.! It was the third down! So and so passed it and what's his face rushed it! It wasn't 45 it was the 56th yrd. line! You get the picture. I don't pay much attention to detail. That's why I'm bad at chemistry, ha-ha). Anyway, we had to kick it from there, with literally 3 seconds left on the clock. Long story short ('cause I know you don't want my dad's version) we made it as the buzzer went off the win the game 30-28. It was very intense and exciting.

The only other thing I wanted to tell everyone was that I submitted and application for a volunteer position at the library, and should be hearing back next week as to wether I'm excepted or not. I really hope I am!!! This is something I've wanted to do for a while, and if I do volunteer work there for a while, then maybe I can try out for a job there in a couple years! We'll see...
Thanks everyone for listening to my ramblings once again. It so nice to be back on!
Verya
