06 ★ WALL-E

WALL-E is one of the most amazing animated films I have ever seen made by any animation studio to date. PIXAR really outdid themselves with all the necessities of a great animated film once again: the visuals were absolutely stunning, the expressions on every machine were priceless, and the story and message within the film were definitely evident, yet not enough to feel as if it's shoved down your throat. AND THE SCORE WAS PHENOMENAL, and Hello Dolly fit so perfectly in the movie.

This goes to show that the film kind be stunning and touching without the use of dialogue. The first hour of the film was sans dialogue, only robotics noises, but I wasn't bored for a moment. The relationship between WALL-E and EVE was more touching than an actual romance in a live action film. There were some moments were I teared up a bit due to the love the two robots had for each other. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing this film again...and again, and again.


Bolt and Beverly Hills Chihuahua, however, were kind of disappointing, the latter being the biggest. WHY do we need to have a musical about dogs, specifically chihuahuas.

06 ★ The Happening

I went to see The Happening today with a few friends, and I've got to say that it was one of the worst Shyamalamanan films I've seen. The movie had so much room for potential, to be an amazing film filled with climatic and scary scenes that boggled the mind, but instead it crashed and burned to the ground. Some people on my friends list who have seen it and liked the film, so I was excited to see it, but I was disappointed with Shamylanianan choice of actors and the script in general.

I can't fall asleep because I'm so restless right now. No idea why, nothing really alerted me to be so awake at the moment, but I am. It's not the heat, since the wave, I think, has passed...

And I also realize that I haven't made an appropriate Livejournal post in a while, or how I haven't really been updating constantly. There's not much to say, really, other than School ended last Thursday, there was a major heat wave that has now passed, and now it's 1:30 in the morning, and I can't get to sleep.

I'm also in love with this young man. He's such a genius, quite attractive, and only nineteen years old!

Naruto may have, to some its long arcs and its many plot holes, but when you get chapters like Naruto 405, you realize why you continue to read the series.

06 ★ Kung Fu Panda

Went to see Kung Fu Panda with a bunch of friends last night, and although cutesy and funny in most parts, and the action scenes were well done, I couldn't help but feel that there were a ton of plot holes within the story.

Oogway, the creator of Kung Fu and an old turtle, was the best character. What made it even funnier was that one of my friends is afraid of turtles (I guess it would be considered Herpetophobia?)

05 ★ Assistant to the Sensei

I haven't updated in a while, due to a lot of things happening in the past week! Firstly, the Senior Show of our school Alice in Wonderland/Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was a success! The first Friday was, as I've said in my previous post, quite shaky but the show got increasingly better as the days went on. Even our in-school performance was pretty good, which is pretty rare seeing as how no one gives a shit about those. In the final performance, we all realized how funny our show is and what we do to support the comedy.

And I've just bought R. Kelly's Trapped In the Closet Chapters 1-22 on Itunes, and I'm completely mesmerized.

05 ★ Lady Man Ladies part two

Our opening night of Alice in Wonderland was pretty goddamned shaky, shakier than we ever predicted. It was going well, until our CD with all of our music and sound effects started to SKIP DURING A DANCE SEQUENCE, so the ensemble dance in the most awkward silence imaginable. The light crew didn't do a good job with the lighting at all, turning off the lights at opportune moments that needed a lot of lighting (DANCE SEQUENCES, ORLY?!) Another problem we had with tech crew, was when The Queen of Hearts was doing her monologue, a random person on a microphones goes, "HANNAH, TWO SECONDS."

And the audience wasn't very cooperative...eh, whatever, the opening night is bound to have tons of flaws. But I felt like I wasn't even acting to an audience. It really felt like a dress rehearsal, which is really bad.


BUT THEN, I went to the Beirut concert with my friends, which was an amazing time. I feel like I would've appreciated it more if I weren't so tired out from the showcase, but I still had a lot of fun watching Zach Condon play his trumpets and sing ballads of the Balkan persuasion.
BEST MOMENT OF THE NIGHT: There's this projector while you're waiting for the acts, where you can text to the Wiltern and your message will appear on the screen, so to my surprise, SOMEONE FUCKING RICK ROLL'D THE WHOLE ENTIRE WILTERN THEATRE. I had to send a text saying, "You just got Rick Roll'd!" among other texts like, "Barack the vote" and "Where's Noel Fielding?"

05 ★ An Avatarded moment.

[a:tla] yip yip
Guys, I had an avatarded moment! FINALLY!

The costume for my character in our school production, Alice in Wonderland, is green with a flap of light green fabric. It's very airy, and they want to add more ruffles to the top, but I kid you not, I feel like I'm Aang from A:tLA.

The costume top is so, in my opinion, reminiscent to Aang's top that I couldn't help but run around and whoosh. I asked a few if they knew of the show, and if they did, I would act as if I were an airbender.


Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, I'm currently obsessed with it. I really have no idea why..I used to hate it so much. [info]xenoamorist, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' BOUT. THEM MARCH HARE AND MAD HATTAH GOT IT GOIN' AHON!

No one would happen to have Muse's Supermassive Black Hole (Phones Voltage Mix 7"), would they? Or a place where I would be able to find songs for downloading (Limewire, oddly, doesn't have it). I'm obsessing over this remix, like whut.





So last night, I fell asleep watching 300. Best experience ever, to watch manly men battle the Persian army in speedos.

05 ★ Elections.

So Thespian elections for President? TOTALLY reminds me of the whole Clinton and Obama situation, with a little taste of Nader on the side.


Speaking of the nominees, I feel like I need to address that fact that Hilary Clinton stepped on a, "Figurative Landmine" by discussing the assassination of Robert Kennedy in regards to Obama's risk if he wins. I understand, completely, it was a slip up but why even mention it? It doesn't help her win in the elections at all...in fact, it most definitely hurt her. I'm guessing desperation by taking as many hits to Obama as possible is the main goal of hers.

05 ★ I just need to vent.

You know the feeling of when you do something for a long period of time, and at one point you just can't take it anymore? Like a glass that's been filling slowly, and has finally reached its peak? Well, that's how I feel about school for the past month.

Either senioritis has affected me quite early, or I'm just filled to the brim and overspilling by a years worth of Junior education, but I'm fed up with school. Thank God this feeling just began to bug me, since it's practically the end of the year anyway, yet I still can't help but feel exhausted all day and have random bursts of depression. It's hard to get up in the mornings and realize that I have to endure another day of three 140 minute classes, then stay for two and half hours for after school rehearsal.

Yeah, I'm being a tad overdramatic, but all of you guys in high school understand what I'm going through; you guys are most definitely feeling this way too.

Today, for example, I woke up perfectly fine, had a hard time finding some clothes to wear, yet I got to school and I instantly got depressed. My friend, Vivien, even made me a belated birthday cake for me, but I couldn't get out of my gloomy rut. By the second class period, I couldn't take it anymore and left early, and now I am here typing this to you. You can say that I'm running away from my problems, but there's a time and place to root yourself to the floor and fight, and I've been fighting since September; I'm done with my curriculum, done with half of the teachers who have no respect for me, done with rehearsing, done with waking up at six in the morning to attend school, done with hearing about people getting into relationships, done with Junior year in general.

I want to just take the day off, go to the beach, and just lie on the sand and RELAX, something that none of the students have been achieving lately. It's ridiculous how the school system makes learning such a pain in the ass, when it's supposed to be enjoyable. Why the unnecessary pressure? Why the discouragement from countless teachers, when they are supposed to give us wisdom on how this society works?



Concerning my previous post. )


Seriously, why is it SO hard to talk to the opposite sex? Fucking ridiculous..

Dear Livejournal, oh great server of all-knowing wisdom,

Why am I still awake on a school night, at 2:30 in the morning? Why am I strangely alert and hungry? Why can I not find a comfortable sleeping position? Why does Los Angeles never stay a certain temperature for a fixed amount of time, rather than change unexpectedly in the middle of the hour/day/week? Why I am strangely still hung up over a guy that doesn't even think of me the way I think of him, and why do I keep hurting myself when I know he and I aren't going to get together? Why can't that certain young man and I just make up, become friends, and understand that the shit that happened back in middle school is way behind us? Why is there a guy perusing through my apartments' garbage at 2 in the morning?


There are just some questions, I'm afraid, we'll never know. Hopefully, the tea will help..

Oh yeah, and Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone. &hearts

First time experiences..

Four hours of grueling comprehensive writing, reading and arithmetic later, I came out of the infamous SAT room. It was my first time taking the SAT, and it's such a weird and boring experience. I can't believe people can actually sit still, taking section after section and repeating the same subjects, but in different orders. In short, it was tad excruciating sit and have one minute breaks after three sections, but at least I finished it!

And then I got my underarms waxed, which was also a first time experience for me. Pretty fun, if you like the stinging sensation you get afterwards, which I kind of did.
