I Dislike Titles BEDA #20

So, I don't understand why actors or actresses want to start a clothing line but they always look really bad...I just don't get why they can't either design nice clothes or work with someone with the talent to design clothes. Also, what I don't understand is that the people who have these clothing lines wear really great clothes. I don't get it...and it's a shame that the people who can have these lines don't take advantage of it.

Fame BEDA #19

So I have been watching Fame...the TV Series from the 80's. It is so great but I don't quite understand the concept. I guess all of the kids that are in the performing art schools don't dance or play music or act because that is the whole of their being, it is because they want fame? I feel that people who peruse these things because of fame either never get there or become famous and blow it all away. I suppose all of them just want to perform, which I guess performing and fame are synonyms.

Netflix BEDA #18

So here's a list of movies I have seen on my netflix account:

I watched a lot of dance things just because I felt like dancing the past 2 weeks...

Step Up 3: So entertaining, didn't take it seriously, wish they spent more time on quality of choreography just because the other two were better..and they did moves just for 3D which sucked
Bo Burnham: Words, Words, Words: hilarious.
Lambada: SO BAD!! DO NOT WATCH! I REPEAT, DO NOT WATCH! THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENT!
The Dancer: good, I liked the dancer they followed, it was an actual documentary and not just a "I starve myself and train and train and train and ruin my feet" kind of story
Super High Me: Hmmm...educational I suppose? haha it was pretty funny as well...
Mad Hot Ballroom: I like it... a lot..
Shall We Dance? 80's version...kinda weird...
B-Girl: so bad. so cheesy.
Dancing Across Borders: Super interesting, a bit slow.
Wristcutters: A Love Story : SO WEIRD!!! but totally worth the beginning weirdness.
Etoiles: Dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet: It was good. kinda like The Dancer, but I liked The Dancer better...
Exit Through the Gift Shop: Really liked this one, the guy they follow is a bit eccentric and a loser but its interesting and I really like street art, so I enjoyed it.
The Usual Suspects: I do not even know where to begin!! It is so brilliant, plot twister, great acting, sooo good.
Strictly Ballroom: The characters are hilarious!
Dirty Dancing: one of my favorite dancing movies, it's just classic.
King Corn: Interesting but I was kind of disappointed, I heard it was really good and it didn't live up to the standards that I had placed...
The Corporation: really great, really interesting, super impressed
30 Days: I watched quite a few episodes of 30 days, impressed by all of them, in general just a nice series. It was well done, they didn't make the drama more amplified than it should be...it was just good
Freakonomics: it was great, informational...yeah...
Memento: I still don't really understand, I need to watch it again...but it was really great.
Ballet Shoes: If I didn't love Emma Watson, I would think this movie was stupid...but since I do love Emma Watson, it's stupidly entertaining...
The LXD: The Uprising Begins: I always want to type LSD instead of LXD...hmm...its good, another dancing thing...I do want to see the next one...I'm not sure if it is a TV series or if it's a movie that was cut into chapters...or what, but the dancing is great, the acting is...mehh, alright, there isn't much acting so I can't quite decide yet...

No Power! BEDA #17

Yea, so as you probably guessed from the title, on August 18th I think, late at night, my house lost power until earlier today...so that was a bummer. What was more of a bummer was that my wisdom teeth were removed the following day and I was banking on being able to watch movies on my laptop and maybe write a bit or watch tv while eating ice cream. I did not get to do any of these things because my ice cream melted and there was no internet or power to my laptop. Yea. That was the past couple of days.

My mouth seems alright though, the left side seems kinda swollen and achey but in general it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be...my mouth just feels a bit weird and I can't eat very quickly or hard things because they hurt...but its a nice excuse to just eat pudding all day.

Well I'm going to end this blog and the next blog I make will be...about what I've been watching on Netflix! Yay lists!

With 4 fewer teeth,
Kristen

Dream BEDA #16

Last night I had a dream that my house was on fire. I got my dog and evacuated my house and it wasn't like a huge fire, just a small one and I was just like oh well, there won't be much damage if the fire department comes quickly. Unfortunately when I kept trying to call the fire department but never really got through and I couldn't get ahold of anyone that would do something about my house being on fire. I tried again and again and they kept asking me these weird questions and beating around the bush of actually sending a fire truck to put out the fire. I was so flustered and I was crying and then my dad shows up and he looks at me and asks why I didn't put it out when it was just starting and why I hadn't called the fire department. Then I tried the fire department again and they said that they would send someone in half an hour and then my dad evaporated and I watched my house burn, it still wasn't that large though but I had that panicky feeling because...well..my house was on fire. Then I woke up. Bad way to begin my day, I still have that panicky feeling in my gut.

I wonder what this dream means...college related possibly?

Oh my, I'm rich! BEDA #15

Oh my goodness, its already the 18th, I'm doing horribly at this...I'll just run into September...

Yesterday I went shopping, which is great, what's even better is that I went with my mom so she was willing to pay. I love when that happens. I bought a micro plush blanket which is super soft and a towel. Right now I'm counting my change that I keep in spice bottles. so far I have 18 dollars...I feel bad for the store where I decide to just pay in change.

Keep on counting!

BEDA #14

My name is Kristen and I like eating macaroni and cheese and watching Wishbone and...my hair is short...and I am wearing a long skirt...and my light is utterly crazy because I am being controlled by a woman on the internet. I will tell a story now: There once was a man named Michael Finnigin he had whiskers on his chinigan. They fell off and then grew in again. Poor old Michael Finnigin begin again. REPEAT!
