My horrible taste in movies strikes again!

Ok. So for the past two days I have been trying to take it easy. Ive been feeling my yearly dose of strep throat coming on and I have tried to avoid it. In doing so, I stumbled across one of the movies I had bought from Blockbuster when it was going out of business. I have a problem because I went back every week and bought 3-7 dvd's at a time as the price dropped....some of which I had never seen before but I used the "its only 3$" rationale. The movie I want to talk about is just one of those purchases.

The Box

Has anyone else seen this movie and walk away going "what the hell did I just watch"? My Child Psych professor  from last semester had talked about this movie in terms of the experiment being conducted. I would add in spoiler alert here...but honestly if you havnt seen the movie...it may not be worth it. I was intrigued by the whole concept of the human race killing each other for money. Weird stuff like that interests me...how could someone do that!? But that wasnt what got me. No. It was the aliens they had to add into the movie (or at least thats what I think they were). As I was explaining it to my mom and aunt last night they looked at me like I was crazy...because it didnt make sense. Thats basically how I watched this movie...waiting for answers. No. It was just a creepy half-faced man, a box, aliens (?), water and some ending that just didnt make sense.

I want to say that maybe I should watch it again...see if it makes more sense. Or if I should ask my film savvy  friends (JOEY) to explain this movie to me. Either way...it pretty much confirmed that even when I know very little about a movie...I have the ability to pick some awful ones out. 

I also bought the Last Exorcism...we will see how THAT one goes. 

Fifteen Facts

A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.
(took this idea from the facebook tag going on...but 30 days on a blog seemed excessive so this will be the only post like this for now)

1. This picture was taken in Chicago on July 3, 2009 and I have some great memories from that day.

2. I have a fear of fish. And death. And generally getting hurt.

3. Currently, I am studying to be a teacher

4. I prefer to be surrounded by people than to be alone

5. I am a redskins fan...always will be

7. I used to chew ice...a lot.

8. I have a habit of holding on to people who shouldnt be in my life.

9. Ive adopted a new habit of calling things how I see them. Im not going to appease a person and tell them what I think they want to hear. Thats not a true friend. 

10. I have bad taste in movies...but thats okay with me.

11. I over-analyze everything.

12. If we are fighting and I say "its whatever" to you...its not a good sign.

yum!

I know this is random, but my mom and I were talking about cocktails to have at the wedding last night (as much as she doesnt want to admit it...wedding planning will consumer her life just like my dancing and cheerleading did when I was younger). I brought up this non-alcoholic cocktail that I served for Crush party for Gamma Phi over a year ago. It was very good! Now I have a craving for it. So here is my first recipe :)

Sparkling Punch Recipe

• 2 lemons
• 3 large oranges
• 1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
• 1 liter club soda
• 2 (750 milliliter) bottles sparkling apple cider
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2 trays ice cubes

Thinly slice the lemons and the oranges and place in a large punch bowl. Pour in the thawed lemonade. Gently stir in the club soda and the sparkling apple cider. Add sugar to taste. Add ice.

Im pretty sure I didnt use the sugar since lemonade concentrate can be pretty sweet. Hopefully I can make some of this (not the whole batch) soon!!
