In A Nutshell (Again)

The last two months have been quite a rollercoaster ride, it's seriously not even funny. It was as much fun as it was stressfull, and I am emotionally, physically, and mentally drained. Let's see if I can recap what the big blur has been about. (Although, if you follow me on twitter, I'm sure you're pretty much updated to when I last ate..)

• 04.12.11 - Dee, Nadienne, and I went on our girldate to Texas de Brazil. I got a buy one dinner, get one dinner free coupon for my birthday. It was fun, free food is epecially more fun! :)
• 04.16.11 - I registered for a Realy for Life team and I'm a captain this year!! I'm kinda nervous, but I'm excited as well. This is my sixth year rockin' Relay for Life, and my first time being a captain. But thanks to my friend Maria, who helping me out, I hope we raise a decent amount of money!
• 04.22.11 - This day was Earth Day and of course, Dee and I, dealhounds that we are, drove around to score some freebies. Score number 1: Starbucks free coffee when you bring your own mug in.Score number 2:  Disney Store gave out recycled totes when you bring in five plastic shopping bag.
• 04.29.11 - KC and I stayed up from midnight to about 7 am watching The Royal Wedding! Hahaha! I'm sure we're not the only crazy ones who did, and it was fun. And then we pretty much slept all afternoon..ish. And then I went to see Fast Five with Dee, Kuya Owen, Melissa, and Bryan.
• And of course, here are there are a bunch of random shopping trips, food trips, and colorful conversations with wonderful people. :)

EE.

Everyone Else.

So I just saw the movie The Knowing, by Nicholas Cage and this one lady from 28 Weeks Later. Anyway, I thought the movie started out good. Conspiracy and all that. I guess I overlooked the Sci-Fi part of the movie. So I was pretty much "Wait, what?" in the end.

The movie started off with a class drawing pictures to be placed in a time capsule and to be opened 50 years later. Anyhoo, I guess the main person was this little girl named Lucinda something or the other. She started writing a bunch of numbers on her piece of paper. 50 years later, the school had a ceremony to open the time capsule. Lucinda's envelope ended up with Caleb, Nicholas Cage's character's son. And then the story takes off from there.

The numbers were apparently Lucinda's predictions from the past fifty years. The numbers were the dates casualty numbers and locations. For example: 05147772141723445 would be 05/14/77 with casualties of 771 and location of 41.72 lat and 34.45 long.

And it somehow ended up in Cage's hands and he started figuring out and stuff.

Long story short, the last numbers of the paper were 101909EE########. (I forgot the numbers last.) Read: 10/19/09 casualties of Everyone Else [who have not been killed in the past 50 years] and go to the location of ##.## lat and ##.## long. The disaster? Sun flares were going to reach the Earth at such a high speed/temperature whatever that no one can be saved. I mean, how can you prevent that in less than 24 hours?

In the end, Caleb and this other girl were "saved" from the impending extinction by.. dun dun dun.. ALIENS! These blond guys in trench coats that have been appearing out of thin air were actually aliens coming to save those "who heard the call."

Scenario: New planet, yellow antler-like grass covering a huge meadow with alien spaceships dropping off the pairs of children carrying pairs of animals in the middle of the meadow. Result? New World.

Bye, technology.

Home Depot Product Placement.

a.k.a. The Collector.

I just got home from watching The Collector with Andrea, Jarrod, Danny, and Dany. It was an option between The Orphan or The Collector. -ugh- It was like the goriest movie I've seen in forever! Granted that I've only seen one Saw movie.

And here are some thoughts I'd like to ponder about.

• Who was the guy inside the box?
• Why was Arkin's wife (girlfriend?) borrowing money from loan sharks and expecting Arkin to pay it off?
• Where was the little girl hiding all that time?
• How did the Collector booby-trap that house that fast?
• Why didn't Arkin see all those booby traps?
• Why does the Collector collect people and what does he do with them?
• Why didn't the mom and dad even wonder what Arkin, their handyman, was doing inside their house late at night when the family's supposed to be on vacation?
• Did Home Depot sponsor this movie?

Sorry for some disclaimers but yeah. I need to absorb what I just saw. Oh, and the movie was from the makers of the last few Saw movies.

Oh, and Collector = 1. Arkin = 0.
