Movie Review: Friday the 13th (2009)
*Spoilers!!*
Okay, I'll be honest. The only reason I really wanted to watch this movie was because Jared Padalecki was in it. I was disappointed with Jensen Ackles in "My Bloody Valentine" so I was hoping that this would be better.
Well, only slightly since Jared managed to not be the bad guy. A fact that was worrying me as 25 minutes into the show, everyone but Whitney was dead and there was no sign of Jared.
Uh, excuse me, Jason? Aren't you killing everyone off a little too soon?
P.S. Jason? Please don't be Jared.
Anyways, it was a typical slasher fic complete with naked girls having sex (not with each other, surprisingly) and guys getting drunk, high or both.
The dialogue was cheesy (You've got perfect nipple placement). Honestly, who says that?
It was gory, I'll give it that, but not anything extraordinary. I would have preferred a little more back story (although most know the story) and there honestly was little to no plot beyond Clay trying to find his sister and Jason killing anyone he set his eyes on.
I have to say, I was a little surprised that Jenna bit the dust (btw, if I had been Jenna, Trent would have been dead waaaay before Jason made his appearance. Just sayin' Also, was Jenna his girlfriend or Bree? 'Cause if it was Jenna and he was doing Bree? Bastard.). I was expecting Whitney to get killed just as soon as Clay found her. But with the way it ended, it's possible no one made it.
All in all, I give it 2 stars.
Laters.
My rating system:
0 stars - Worst movie ever made.
1 star - I've definitely seen better
2 stars - It's okay but once is enough for me.
3 stars - I'll watch it again.
4 stars - I'll buy it.
5 stars - Not only will I buy it but I'll watch it every day!

Project Skinny Day #1
In an effort to lose some much needed poundage, I have been trolling YouTube for fitness/diet/healthy eating videos. I made many notes of things to try and decided that this day, August 3, 2010, would be the beginning of Project Skinny.
During my Pre-Project Preperations, I decided to try just a few things. I bought some water, cashews, dry-roasted peanuts, Cran-apple flavor sticks for the water ('cause plain water = ick), green tea sticks, a small vanilla soy milk and some orange sherbet push up pops.
The orange sherbet is delish by the way. ^_^
Day One however, is not going as planned.
I dragged myself in to work at 11am accompanied with a few of my new healthy items. I brought a serving size of cashews, two waters, a green tea stick and a half bottle of lemonade just in case. Oh, and a piece of leftover pizza for lunch.
What? Rome wasn't built in a day, ya know.
So I scarfed down my cashews first thing and then I tried the green tea. All the YouTubers had agreed that it was the best thing ever and soooo good for you and soooo delicious.
Y'all, I don't know what they were drinking but it sure wasn't what I was.
Let me break it down for you.
You take a bottle of water, take a few sips and then pour a packet of the green tea into it. My first reaction was that well, shouldn't the powder be green instead of a weird taupey color? Then I shook and shook and shook that bottle of water to dissolve the tea and ended up with a bottle whose color was now, in my opinion, pee.
Yum.
So I braved a taste of it.
I am not sure there are words to describe it. It sorta tasted like honey and lemon and some unidentified flavor that I am not very sure of except ick.
I've drunk about half of the bottle and it has perhaps gotten a teensy tiny bit drinkable.
But it is definitely going on the No list.
