Over the last 2 weeks I've spent a lot of money on movies. Not buying DVDs, but going to see an actual movie in an actual movie theater. I went to go see Zombieland three times with friends, and each time it was great. Although, now, I think I'm all zombie'd out for now until the movie comes out on DVD. If you love zombies, you need to see this movie. It's funny, scary at times (I still jump out of my seat at certain parts after 3 viewings), and it's just a good fun movie to watch and eat popcorn to. I mean, it's zombies. Zombies can't be all that deep (despite what you try to achieve with your movies, Mr. Romero... zombies just aren't good for social commentary). I would place Zombieland in the same arena as Shaun of the Dead, scary, yet funny. Laugh-out-loud funny at parts. Especially the cameo toward the end of the movie. I won't tel you who the cameo is, since that would ruin it, but it was great. I was greatly pleased with it. On my scale of 1-10, I give Zombieland a solid 9.

Michael Buble (Boo-Blay) has a new CD out, Crazy Love, and I got it. Yay for Michael Buble! However... it's not that great. There are certain songs that are good but not enough to save the whole. Track #5, "Haven't Met You Yet" it cute and good, but his cover of Ray Charles' "Georgia On My Mind" is lacking that power and emotion that a) Ray had when he sang it, but 2nd) I've heard Michael sing powerfully on other CDs, and this whole CD is missing that emotion behind the songs. His last CD, Call Me Irresponsible, was great because it wasn't produced within an inch of its life, and he had power and passion to his voice. This CD is lacking, you can hear it in his voice. It's almost like "I'm not really going to try, because I know housewives will buy my CD anyway." And don't get me started on his cover of Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River". So much potential to that song!! And Michael doesn't even reach it. And I want to say that #9 "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" is a cover of a Sinatra song (but don't quote me on it, I've been wrong before). Michael Buble has done other Sinatra songs and this one just sucks. I mean... ugh. Fail. I give Crazy Love a 4.5 on my scale. Good, but, really, could have been a helluva lot better.

Got some writing done last night, which was good. But then I got super tired at 10pm (o.0) and went to bed. I fell asleep to Robot Chicken and discovered when I woke up Kiera had hopped up on my lap (with laptop) and settled down for a nap with me. I did get somewhere on chapter sixteen before I retired for the night, and added 1695 more words to Magic & Destiny. About a little less than 1/2 of the way to my weekly goal. Since I have this morning off from work, I might get some more down. I was on call this morning @ BN for a 9am shift, but didn't call in @ 8 to check... because I was still sleeping and woke up at 9am thinking I was working at Lane Bryant this morning... oops. They have yet to call me, so apparently they didn't need me. And I don't think the MODs know they have people for on call shifts anyway, so don't bother to check. Whatever. I'm not feeling good today, anyway. So I can relax until about 4, and go to Lane Bryant and work 4 hours there. Yay.

I'm really fighting the urge to go back to bed. I have stuff I really should be doing around here. Like picking up all the crap in my office. Sweeping off my deck because leaves, bird crap, and seeds aren't pretty. Do dishes. Write more. Finish Cell by Stephen King or finish Homer's Odyssey by Gwen Cooper... ugh. Right now sleep is winning.
