Rischa's Rants, Raves, and Ramblings

30 Days of Tumblr - Day 2

Day 2: A movie you want to see?

My first thought was to say I wanted to see Alice In Wonderland because it's the most RECENT movie that has come out that I'd love to see. So if it's a movie that's still in theaters that I have to choose, then it's that.

I've been wanting to see a movie that came out a while ago, though, that's no longer in theaters and STILL haven't. The movie is, Inglorious Bastards. Quintin Tarantino makes such interesting, and different, films I think. I know that sounds odd since it has been out for a long time and it isn't exactly a "chick" movie. It's a war movie. It just really looks like an interesting one to me, though. Maybe because Brad Pitt is in it? I love it when he plays a dark or somewhat comical role. I loved him in Snatch, Fight Club and Burn Before Reading. Actually, come to think of it, I haven't seen The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, either.

So, to simplify my answer, here's a trailer of the movie I'm choosing for Day 2's question:

Kind of dark, eh?

See you all tomorrow for Day 3!

Just sitting here.....

....watching a movie and eating Fat Free Cool Whip right outta the tub. I haven't really wanted to blog lately. I don't have a lot going on other than health stuff and who the hell wants to hear about that? No one, that's who!

So this movie, Little Children, is pretty strange. It has Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson in it. I don't really know how to explain it. There's a narrator and a lot of characters. So far it seems like a good one. I like movies that are like this....different. Perhaps the reason I can't explain it is because I'm still watching it. LOL

Not a lot going on in our house. We did get a new mattress. Our old one was horrible. We bought it in 99 and it had served its purpose by the time we bought this new one. Mmmm....the new one! A Simmons Beautyrest. It's much taller than our old one because of the pillow-top. I just LOVE it! I got a new memory foam pillow, too. The new items go so well together.

I really have to get going. I need to feed the birds and dogs so I can get to bed. I thought once I started typing something interesting would come to me, but nope. Didn't happen....sorry.

Too bright!

Sheesh, now that I'm on my desktop computer I see that my photo below is WAY too bright! I was using my laptop and it was unplugged at the time, so I guess the monitor just didn't show it as it shows on the desktop. Oh well....nothing wrong with being colorful I suppose. I didn't intend for it to be so bright, though.

It's quiet again in the house as everyone's snoozing again. It's almost 1:30 AM. I'll be heading to bed after this entry and after I give the birds fresh water. I try to give them fresh water and then turn the lights out so they'll keep sleeping. That way they won't have time to dirty up their water before the morning. They sure can make a mess of it fast!

The brownies I made earlier weren't very good to me. I got a different brand than last time. I thought it would be better since it had Hershey's syrup in it, but NOPE! The cheap ones were much better and easier to make. Well, I guess they were good, but just not AS good as the others. Joel liked them.

Hmm...what else. I just watched a movie....sort of. It was on while I was in the room. I was really checking email and tidying up a bit. Blades of Glory was the movie. SUCH a stupid one! I knew it would be with Will Ferrel (sp?) in it. He always does the stupid movies. He's funny, but his movie choices are just so corny. I guess some people like corny movies. Why else would they keep making those "Scary Movies"? Not a big fan, myself.

Oh....you've gotta check out this blog! Just LOOK at the cuteness that Oliver brings to THIS page! They feature a new puppy each day. I'd love to have a Doxie JUST like Oliver as a friend to Penny. I love his spots and he just looks so sweet! My friend, Sharon, sent me that link yesterday. She's always on the lookout for Doxie stuff for me. :-)

Okay, I'm outta here for now. See ya!

Saturday Ramblings

It's just another Saturday around here. We've taken advantage of our down time for sure. Joel has been playing Playstation most of the day, Kolby has been watching movies and playing on his computer, and I've been napping and trying to get caught up on email. Not much productivity for us today. I think Joel had planned to cut the grass today and I had planned to clear my computer and reformat, but it's one of those "screw it" types of days. I think they're called Saturdays? lol I really could use to do some laundry. I'm working on a bit of a pile in my bathroom hamper. I washed last night, but that doesn't seem to have taken care of the problem. :-P Another load should get it under control before it takes over the whole bathroom. hehe

So I never posted after I got my surprise on Valentine's Day. Joel surprised me with my favorite chocolates, Turtles, and a dozen beautiful roses in a nice, red, frosted glass vase. They look beautiful on my desk. They're beginning to open up and show their full potential. The chocolates? Well.....they seem to have disappeared. Hmm...wonder where they went? Right now I'm thinking they're making their way to my thighs!! Especially since I haven't walked in the past week. I've been too tired and not feeling that hot. I have a temperature again today. So I guess it's a good excuse to have a "screw it" day.

Tomorrow I start Outlook Express Classes. I actually have Windows Mail now, but it's the same thing. I want to learn how to make OE stationery. It was so easy to make IM stats. IM = Incredimail. I think HTML is involved in making OE stats, though. Yikes! It should be fun, though. I'm looking forward to it. If you're interested the classes can be found here:

Wish me luck with it! I think I'll plan to do the classes on my laptop so I can still reformat my desktop computer without having to juggle too much. This desktop thing is just acting so screwy and I have no idea why. It makes me so mad when these contraptions make no sense at all! I've been on a computer almost every single day since 1994 and I have YET to figure them out. lol

Gotta run. I'm having a discussion with Joel now about what we're having for dinner. Hmm...that's a puzzle. lol Talk to ya soon!

That's too personal. I think I'll keep that one to myself this time. No need to be negative.

Even though I didn't talk to Eydee much I would hear Mom say that she heard from her and she said hello or I'd send a hello her way. And knowing that I can't just call her up or send a "hello" her way makes me miss her.
