I have that song Be Prepared by Scar stuck in my head

Cali is a weird cat. She hid in the dresser last night. Not just in a drawer but in the space thats not occupied when the drawer is ajar. I think its because Michelle vacuumed. I thought maybe we were going to have an earthquake. Cali just hates cleanliness and reacts the same as if it were fatal.
Miguel is working the streets again. Teaching people how to drive the streets. Its good cause she has just finished a semester of book smarts education and now can get the street smarts again. I'm still working for the Census. Its a funny job. I found out yesterday that there really is someone named "Anita Mann" but I've yet to find Amanda Hugandkiss. GO JAZZ

Dinner at Olive Garden

Miguel: Sometimes I feel bad for not liking Olives cause they're Jesus' favorite.
Nick:...What?
Miguel: He's always talking about them.
Nick: Yeah thats true. I think you're conflicted because you either LOVE or HATE things, even food. You HATE olives but you LOVE Jesus.
Miguel: Yeah maybe. I think Jesus hates the New York Yankees.
Nick: And the Lakers.
Miguel: The Devil loves the Yankees.
Nick: That sounds like a book title. I'd read it.

Unclely Love

I have many nephews and nieces which I love but I don't think anyone should ever say "Unclely Love" in any regards. Brotherly, Sisterly, Fatherly, Motherly is fine.

The Brothers Bloom -Movie Review


This show is hilarious. Its one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Watching it was like watching Royal Tenenbaums for the first time. Exciting, new, quick wits, style, and characters I cared about. The story goes as two con men brothers with one wanting to quit after just that one last con. The adventure never stops and the scenes are always quirky. If you're a fan of Devotchka and Wes Anderson then this movie is for you. 5 Golden Rainbows!

Real sunsets might be beautiful but they turn into dark uncertain nights.

Whip It -Movie Review


From the directorial debut of Drew Barrymore you can expect the movie to generally be a reflection of Drew, that being an obnoxiously annoying, scattered, trendy hipster. The movie is at times charismatic and sometimes funny but not substantially moving and mostly the comedy is predictable. There are a few hints at something, but it loses focus, and tries too hard, and thus, its hard to keep interested, mostly due to the fact that every 10 seconds a new indie song comes on and the scene turns into ANOTHER montage. It felt like if Urban Outfitters had commercials. There are hardly any scenes that don't have some obnoxious futile randomly rebellious face gestures or acting out in some way. Another thing is, in the movie, Juno is 17 and lies about it and has sex in a pool with some guy in his 20's. Rape? It was weird.

All the characters were amazingly predictable, heres the disapproving parents, heres the rival, heres the love interest, etc. No real character development and just random emotions like they were suddenly assigned these confusing emotions, which they were but the point of art is for it to be an escape and I wish I could've escaped from this movie. The scenes? Predictable and unrealistic- heres the part where no one believes in the protagonist, heres the part where things fall apart, heres the part where things work out in the end. Lots of heavy handed random interactions. There was also a lot of swearing for some reason. I wouldn't swear by this movie. Its not great. A shame because it could've been good. Its a lot of talent gone to s@*%. I guess I did swear by it.

The best part was when a Strokes song came on that I hadn't heard in a while.

A Cat, Some Dogs, and the Easter Bunny

We saved a cat. Cali the Calico Cat is now hiding under our bed. Cali's got anxiety and not a lot of friends. Miguel's parents were going to send her away to either the big house or the Big Man upstairs. Fortunately, fate intervened and we were able to get her in before then. Miguel loves Cali because she gets her, and because Miguel basically loves most things with her whole soul, including ice cream and Hello Kitty. Well that worked out but unfortunately, not so much for some wiener dogs.

I love wiener dogs of all sorts, especially the ones that were living at my parents' house, Joey and Josie. My parents decided to give them to the Humane Society because they weren't house broken very well and Ma and Pa didn't like cleaning up after them anymore. Now my favorite wiener dogs are either in the big house or with the Big Man upstairs. All dogs go to heaven you know. Mom said it was an Easter present to my dad. Apparently, the Easter Bunny is now in the business of getting rid of dogs.

I heard about the news last night and thought why would the Easter Bunny do this to me? Especially after being so good to Miguel and I. Buttering me up with a brand new Nano Ipod and Miguel with a brand new swimsuit, among other candies.

Rory might go rescue the wieners. I would but I'm already harboring a cat convict. Cali the Calico Cat is pretty easy to harbor. Having a cat with anxiety is kind of like having no cat at all. I think Cali went to that Milford Academy where you're neither seen nor heard.
