So! I have not posted in...forever. Life has been busy and not busy at the same time. I dunno. So I will bullet point you with the important things.

- I am going to Europe in October! Rome, Florence, Venice, Munich, and Amsterdam. For 3 weeks! With my besties! I will probably be exhausted by Venice, but that's OK! I will chillax when I get home? LOL.

So if you've been to any of these places recently, or best yet, you live in any of these places, tell me about things I cannot miss! And how to avoid line-ups! And anything else I need to know! It would be very helpful and appreciated!

- My mom turned 50 in June, and we threw her a fairly swank surprise 50th. She was surprised! We'd been planning since November of last year, so by the time March/April rolled around, I was sick of cloth samples and I was even sick of pastries. Like, shit man. I love baked goods.

I have pictures, but I'm lazy. Sorry. Maybe later. Also, people are trying to hook me up with my dad's work buddy? Super fucking awkward is what that is. My dad gets this weird pinching in his face when people bring it up. That's kind of awesome.

- Teen Wolf! OK, so it started as a 'so bad it's good' situation. It's now just really fucking good. Seriously. I spend the episodes caught between laughing my ass off, sobbing hysterically, and clawing my face off. It's really a miracle. If you're not watching, give it a go. Start around episode 4 of S1 and then watch all of S2. Or just skip S1, but really don't. Whatever.

Also, Dylan O'Brien can fuck off and die. I don't know who told him he could exist, but it's not fair. Half the time, it's just dirty thoughts, the rest of the time, I want to tuck him in and bake him cookies.

- OK so I thought I had more to say but I don't.

Spent the weekend at The Hilton, being kept up by drunken teenagers. I think the concierge guy put us on the party floor. It might have been all the booze I was hanging onto while checking in. For future reference, is there anywhere in the downtown core open late for food? Like past 3am? We had to walk to McD's 10 mins away to quench our munchies. Not cool.

So. Apparently, I'm reading Teen Wolf fanfic. I'm also waiting for the rest of S1 to finish downloading. I think I'm on episode 6? It's a terrible show. But. It's so good.

I don't even know.

Just. I want to tuck Stiles into my pocket, take him home and bake him things. And then push him at Derek so they can make out. Or something.

*moans*

This is all tumblr's fault. You see a few gifs of some hot guy doing shirtless pullups, and all of a sudden, you're hooked. Well played, MTV. Well played.

The Black Keys tonight YAY. I get to test out my new digital camera.

My mom keeps telling me I look slutty. I'm in a black pencil skirt, blue sweater and long black cardigan. *shrug* At least I shaved my legs today...

Mass Effect 3 has taken over my life. I'm about halfway through and I have no idea what's going on, but that's what multiple playthroughs are for I guess.

( Spoilers )

Yah.

So a handful of movies got re-released in IMAX for 1 week only. And because I have nothing better to do, I did a double feature of Star Trek XI and Inception. It's been ages since I've done a movie solo, even longer since I've done the whole back to back thing. My ass was numb afterwards, but um. Worth it? Totally.

Shit. I don't know why I didn't just see both movies in IMAX when they first came out. Tom Hardy + IMAX = greatest shit ever. EVER. When 'This Means War' comes out, will it be in IMAX? Because Tom Hardy and Chris Pine's mouths would be absolutely epic in IMAX.

They had a trailer for Mission Impossible 4 in front of both movies and after it ended, I seriously thought about getting up to high five everybody (15 people, give or take). That was a good looking trailer. I would follow Jeremy Renner anywhere, and having him kick people in the head while wearing a suit is like. Hhnngkk. And um. Even Tom Cruise is looking hot. What the hell?

I shall be seeing MI:4 in IMAX. Anyhoo.

I bought myself a new pair of boots. They're black leather motorcycle boots and there are buckles everywhere and I feel kind of badass when I wear them. Look at how awesome I look while kicking you in the nads! I actually needed to buy a new pair of pumps, but I got all distracted. I hate shopping for pumps.

So my delicious is borked. I'm not sure what they're doing over there, but I'm pretty much done with them. Auto-reply is like the worst shit ever. I'm starting over completely (OH THE HUMANITY) and I know I won't get everything back but it's nice to rediscover shit as I come across it. My account consisted mostly of food and porn and foodporn so it's not like it was important or whatever. Just. Everything was so tidy and organized. Luckily, I print out most recipes so I have copies of them, they're just in a binder and there's no system to it. Ugh.

Oh, and my parents are headed down under for the holiday. They'll basically be doing the same thing I did last year, just in January. When apparently Australia is at it's hottest. Ha. I spent about 1900 total (CA to OZ to NZ and back)on flights when I went, and they're at about 7K for theirs. They keep searching for cheaper, but they're going in high season, so I doubt they'd do better.

Argh. Mumford & Sons is sold out. Booo.

So. TIFF is over and I'm fucking exhausted. I did 3 movies. I probably spent more time in line, having little old ladies sneeze on me than actually watching movies, but they say it's part of the experience. Who am I to argue? I can't imagine how people go through 10, let alone the ones who do 30+.

Those people are fucking insane.

'Take Shelter' was OK. It started off great, lost a bit of steam towards the middle and never really got me back. Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain are amazing in it, though. We didn't stick around for Q&A (we were starving) but she popped up on stage to intro the movie and she was in this really hot, black halter jumpsuit. I coveted it, hard.

'The Deep Blue Sea' was a total dud for me. Like it ended, and I'm like WTF did I just watch? Really slow and melodramatic and I felt nothing for any of the characters. Tom Hiddleston is a total hotass, though.

The HitRecord thing wasn't really a movie but we went anyhow. It started late and was really rushed but Joseph Gordon-Levitt is adorable, when he's not aggressively selling. So, like, 50% of the time. And I don't know if he's still around, but I'm pretty sure that was you, superstition78 that got pulled on stage.

Aight. I'm off to watch Team Canada get trounced by Team France at the World Cup.

Anyone in Toronto know of a place (other than Scallywags) that's playing the Rugby World Cup? I shouldn't be so goddamn picky, but I'd rather avoid it if I could. I just want to see the finals, France-Canada, NZ-Canada and NZ-France. I was hoping Real Sports would have it, but apparently not. Ugh. What's the point of all them TV's?

I ask this question every 4 years and every 4 years, I find myself at freaking Scallywags.

OK, so I think I'm officially done with 'True Blood'. Jesus, what a mess. And I know that's half the fun right there, but I just can't take it anymore. It helps that some kind soul at ONTD_ASkars (or whatever it is) has uploaded all of his scenes. LOL.

And and now I can watch 'Suits' without having to download it. YESSS. Finally.

So let's see. Saw 'Fright Night' this weekend. Surprisingly good. Cheesy and bloody and hilarious. Not really all that scary though. And Colin Farrell is looking mighty fine. I mean, it's not a lot coming from me, since I'd have done him during his unwashed, drugged up 'Miami Vice' days. But you know.

And the soundtrack for the movie is kind of awesome.

Also, what up Anton Yelchin. Look at you all grown up and ripped as hell.

Speaking of the Yelchin, I was bored and rewatched the Star Trek reboot the other day. Some thoughts.

a)where is the sequel and
b)I want all the Kirk/Sulu in all the world and
c)why isn't there more Kirk/Sulu in all the world

I don't know what changed since 2009, but now I'm all *grabbyhands*

Um. Yes. Hi.

So. I'm finally done with A Dance with Dragons. I liked it, but I dunno. Like, it dragged in a few places, and when I read it again, I'll definitely be skimming a few chapters. And the flow of the book is weird to me, I'm not sure what it is.

( Spoilers. )

Damn. I really hope we don't have to wait another 5 years for this shit.

Let's see. Saw Green Lantern and it sucked. I dunno, maybe maybe I expected too much from it, what with all these rather excellent comic book movies of late. Ugh. But yeah, I didn't like it at all. I should have seen First Class again. Aha. And I still don't get why they just didn't put Ryan Reynolds in an actual costume, rather than CGI-ing the damn thing. I'm sure they had their reasons, but well. It was lame.

( GoT )

I'M SAD THAT IT'S OVER. I WANT MORE NOW.
