It's Friday!

And since it's Friday it's time to play "things that really piss me off"

Today's item is men with long hair, specifically men who don't take care of their hair. It's nasty. I feel that every child should at some point have long hair so their mothers can teach them to take care of it properly. Hell, I wouldn't even care if it was their dad's so long as someone was doing it. Because long nasty hair is disgusting. Not sexy, not attractive, it's just gross.

On a completely unrelated note, Wikipedia has a fascinating article on long hair. It's kind of weird, but then most things are.

She has super long hair.

Things I want to do

I have tried many times to write a "bukit list" and post it on my blog, but every time I end up petering out and not finishing it. Which is why I have decided that I am just going to post the idea as soon as it hits me. Then even if it's only one idea I will eventually have them all on my blog. Good times.

Today's item for "things I want to do" is:

Singing "It's a Small World" at the top of my lungs outside a hotel door, but only if the occupants inside are keeping me awake by their obnoxious sex cries.

Can't you just picture how awesome that would be? Normally I just try to ignore the noise, or turn on some music so I don't have to hear. But really, it's super inconvenient of them to be loud when I am trying to sleep. So I figure I can't just be return the favor. After all who doesn't want to be getting it on while hearing "it's a small world after all"?

One of the creepiest "rides" anywhere... (photo).

It took me several minutes to remember how that song goes. And now I can't make it stop.

Hmm... I don't remember

My first semester at college I realized something troubling. I forget to eat unless there is a set schedule. In high school there were always specific times set aside for eating. This does not happen in college. College is a massive clusterfuck schedule wise. Because of that I would consistently miss meals or just forget to eat.

After I graduated I figured it would be easier to make time for meals. Which is true, but I did not realize that I would still forget to eat. Although that isn't strictly what happens. Normally I go through all the cupboards, stare into the fridge, then the freezer and decided I don't feel like making anything because it takes so much time. I repeat that entire process looking for something I can make in less time. Ultimately I end up staring at the popsicles in the freezer and thinking "eating a popsicle will raise my blood sugar which will give me more energy so then I can actually cook something."

Which is true. Only not at all. What ends up happening: I totally forget I was hungry. Or I get distracted and start working on something else entirely. A few hours pass before I even remember I was hungry, then the whole process starts all over. And all that leads to me feeling starved by the end of the day. I basically eat one meal a day and about three or four popsicles. It's so healthy...

What has been seen cannot be unseen

I think I might have found a movie that is worse than "The Last Airbender" which shouldn't be possible. That movie had great graphics, nothing else was even remotely good about it. Nothing. Well, the costumes weren't bad. But everything else was horrible.

Anyway. I watched a movie called "Ronin" a 1998 crime thriller. It's so bad. The acting is not good, the script was poorly written and I lost interest in the movie about ten minutes in. Even with all the "action" shots. It wasn't as bad as some movies I've seen, but I ended up not even finishing it.

Speaking of really bad movies I saw another one a couple of weeks ago, "Snow White and the Huntsman." All of the previews made the movie look awesome. The graphics were good and again that is basically the only thing that was good. Most of the problems I blame on the script and the director. It was a movie based on the story of Snow White, written by the Brother's Grimm. I have not read the Brother's Grimm version of Snow White, but I feel like religion did not have a role in the story. For some unknown reason at the beginning of the movie Snow White says the Lords Prayer... There was not another reference to religion until the very end when she is crowned queen by people wearing quasi Catholic priest robes.

I just don't understand why the put religion in a movie that also has fairies. Granted they were super creepy looking fairies (Gollum meets Aang). It just didn't seem like that scene had any reason to be in the film. Throughout the entire film I had this sort of sinking feeling in my stomach. Each scene was lacking something.. I couldn't figure out what it was, I still don't know. There was not a single scene in the movie that worked for me. The scene was either pointless, to short or to long. It felt like the director was putting emphasis on plot points that were supposed to be side plots, not the main one.

He's so cool.

He is not.

The characters made me super annoyed. It took me the entire film to even kind of feel anything but apathy for them. The characters all had good back stories, but none of them were presented well. Of all the characters I'd have to say Queen Ravenna was the one I liked the best. And it wasn't just because she had the best costumes (but she did). Her character was just the most believable. Snow White kind of looked pathetic the entire movie, for a character that's supposed to be all innocent and pure she never smiled. Like ever. It was weird. I know her life sucked, but to me someone who is still pure would have the ability to smile past it. Not look like a drowned kitten. Of course that could be because she was played by Kristen Stewart, who may or may not be able to act. I can't tell if she sucks because of the roles she's played or because that's all she can do...

And the highlight of that entire movie was that Chris Hemsworth played the Huntsman. He is super hot. Although his character was borderline unbelievable. I feel like all of the character development lacked a real reason behind it. Of course I could just have ridiculously high expectations for movies. Either way I am tired of seeing poorly made movies.

Isn't she pretty? (Photo).

Tomato soup on a new level

A level of epic nastiness.

A couple days ago I tried to make some homemade tomato soup. This idea mostly came about because we did not have any cans in the house and I am way to lazy to drive to the store and get some. I called a friend who is a really good cook and who also happened to have a can of tomato soup on hand. She read me the ingredients, all of which I had in my house. All I needed was tomato paste, water, sugar and salt. It's amazing how easy it is to mess up the proportions, making something delicious taste like monster bile.

Part of the problem was that I underestimated how much water would be needed to make the tomato paste palatable. That stuff is crazy thick. The soup would have turned out okay if I hadn't decided I wanted to add milk to it. After mixing all the other ingredients together I dumped in some milk. It didn't mix in well. The milk was still separated and the rest was gritty. Which is never a word you want as a description for tomato soup.

Thankfully the spices I dumped in made it taste pretty good, once you got past the gritty, protein shake texture. I forced some on my brother and he didn't think it was that bad, but the rest of the family refused to try it. Not that I blame them. If I ever get a craving for tomato soup I think I'll just go out and buy some.

Or maybe just try this. (photo)
