I'm in Love With Mary Jane, She's My Main Thing...

I saw The Village last night and contrary to most reviews, I really liked it. True, it wasn't the "scary movie" that I thought it was going to be, it was however, a very suspenseful movie. All in all I thought M. Night Shyamalan did an excellent job conveying how people treat fear- some fight it, some face it and most run with whatever reaction is popular- which is usually to give in to it. Bryce Howard (Ron Howard's daughter), who plays Ivy in the movie, did an amazing job at showing incredible range of emotion. It was an interesting sociology or psychology experiment that I myself find very intriguing. I am not going to further ruin the story for you. I suggest you go see it and make a decision for yourself. Just go in knowing that it is not just another scary story. Enough said.

This weekend is all about kicking it for me- I need to get over my "I'm so tired" spell. So I am going to chill watch a couple of movies and get a little work done- I am not even going to pretend that I am going to get a whole bunch of pieces done. I hope to finally finish a bedside table that has been messing with my mind- I have finally decided to paint it my standard black and then proceed with day glo stars with tuqiose drawers. I hope someone wants to take it home.

I can hardly leave you without a list- so here is a little mini-list of things that I am feeling at the moment:

1. Kevin Lyttle- a little reggae pop- something to dance around in your room to

2. Aaron Brother's 50% sale- I will try to restrain myself (Keyword= try)

3. Open Water- its a shark movie- need I say more

4. Trading Spaces for Kids- they made this one kid's wall have a train with graffiti on it- I'm all about the graffiti if you didn't know

5. Ju-On- a true scary movie- Who wants to watch it with me? Moe Moe is too big of a chicken. Let me know....

On a sad note- Peace to Rick James who passed away on Friday.....
