Summer Movies

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince trailer"
I am so excited for this movie. I feel like I've been waiting forever. It looks amazing!

Now for a poll about movies that will be seen this summer. By the looks of it, I will be at the theater quite a lot. Star Trek, Bruno, and obviously Harry Potter are on my list of must-sees.

View Poll: Summer Movies

This weekend Kyle and I are having a Star Wars marathon. Today is Episodes 1-2. We just finished Episode 1 and we're going to eat dinner and move on to 2. Tomorrow is 3-4 and Sunday is 5-6.

View Poll: Paid Account

Ok, so being able to have polls is pretty sweet. Other than that, I'm not finding too much of a difference. Dear LJ friends, please enlighten me about all of the great features of having a paid account or it will die a short death come June 12.

Also, I mostly bought it to f-lock all of my posts from years ago at one time. That was pretty handy. I did enjoy not having to go through each entry and edit it.

Another fun meme brought to you by rfreebern.

kyle and i decided to revise our hamster's name to Freddie Dick Mercury Valentine because it's easier calling him Freddie than Dick. haha. we're such nerds.

kyle and i spent the weekend up north at my parents/grandparents' homes. it was a lot of fun. saturday we were at the high school watching football games all day and then we were at my grandparent's house for dinner and cards. we ended up staying the night over there.. then yesterday we went to my parent's house and watched the Lions and i took a nap.

today i have to read and call Old Navy to see what's going on.. Eric was supposed to call me back this weekend, but he hasn't yet.. =/

im just going to copy and paste my blog from myspace.

yessir. kyle, justin, and i went and saw Electric Six on tuesday night. it was fun. although they didnt actually go on until like .. midnight.. but it was worth it. we were like super close to the stage too.. i'll post some pictures that kyle took w/ my camera. they played a lot of stuff from their new cd Senor Smoke and they played some stuff from Fire. they played: Dance Commander, Electric Demons in Love, Naked Pictures [of your mother], Danger! High Voltage, She's White, I Invented the Night, Gay Bar (heck yeah!), and I'm the Bomb .. so basically majority of Fire.

the bands that opened for them were pretty good. one of them was Johnny Headband. they have their own myspace page, you should check them out. they were frickin' great. very danceable stuff and you can't really help but like them because they put so much energy into their shows. awesome.

the other band was okay.. i think they would have been a lot better if not for the old dude front man. the girls in the band were awesome .. the frontman .. not so much. he kept screaming into the microphone but it was really close to his mouth so it was all distorted and loud. he also turned up his guitar WAY too loud. it was ridiculous.

other than the fact that the show lasted until after 1:30 in the morning and we didnt get home until about 3:00 and i had to work at 8:00 and i now feel like shit .. it was a good show and a good time

and now for the pictures

that beer is as big as the PBR! kyle and justin are such girls sometimes

ELECTRIC SIX!
