Tee-Gee-Eye-Eff.

I'm tired, have been all week. This has honestly been the worst week in a really long time. All I think about is crawling into bed and not coming out. Ever. I went home sick Tuesday and ended up sleeping for 3 hours. Then I had Wednesday off which was nice, but more of a pain because it was right in the middle of the week meaning that I got all confused the next day. Oh right, work, do I really have to? I said to myself as my alarm was playing. Yes, you are saving these days off for something later on. I answered. You know you are tired when you answer yourself- then again, I have no one to answer but myself.

Girl Crush of the Week: Mandy Moore.

The lady was my first ever girl crush. She played a young girl who was falling in love for the first time and who was dying at the very same time. In How to Deal, she played a teen struggling to let a boy in while her best friend was pregnant and her parents were splitting up. She was the Presidents daughter on a mission for freedom in Chasing Liberty and she's gone on to play many, many other roles. Oh, and she's also a singer, actually she was a singer first- then an actress... but it's hard to tell anymore. This weeks Girl Crush is the multi-'talented' Mandy Moore.

Mandy Moore was a huge part of my teen years, while most girls were looking up to Britney or Christina, I admired Mandy. I loved her movies, still to this day I'll pop in Chasing Liberty or How to Deal (in total I have 6 of them). Mandy is boring and I love that about her cause I'm boring too. If I was a celebrity I'd be her, minus the creepy husband. I don't like Ryan Adams, he's too scrubby for her. She should have stayed with Andy Roddick- It's actually because of Andy that I remembered about her today, a co-worker and I were talking about tennis and I mentioned how Andy was my favourite and that I loved when he was dating Mandy (the rhyming names thing was adorable). I had a wall in my room covered with pictures of her, I actually think it worried my parents, I think they thought I was going to be a lesbian or something (don't worry Mom and Dad, I like boys). I coloured my hair dark when she did, I wanted to cut my hair short a la How to Deal and it made me feel normal that she was tall and awkward cause I've always been tallish and somewhat awkward. Even though I'm not big on her music anymore and her movies have kind of sucked, Mandy Moore will always be a wonderful gal to look up to.

Oh man, Brenny is gonna hate this.

Movie Review: Transformers 2- Revenge of the Fallen

The latest Transformers movie hasn't even been out a full 7 days yet and it's already grossed over 200 million dollars coming in slightly behind The Dark Knight, who is King of five day ticket sales. I have been excited for this movie ever since I first saw the first one two years ago. I actually didn't even see that one in the theatre- honestly. My Mom and brother had, they raved about it, but I wasn't interested. It came out on DVD and I bought it for my brother, it came in a fancy steel book and you could choose between Optimus or Megatron- I had no idea who they were or what that meant, but I stuck with the blue on, Optimus and boy I'm glad I did. I got home and decided to watch it before I gave it to him. I never gave it to him. I was so impressed with the movie it quickly became one of my favourites. Since then I've watched it countless times, sometimes I'll just put it on in the background when I'm cooking or cleaning or something. When the trailers for the new movie came out a few months ago I was dying, June couldn't get here fast enough.

My mom, brother and I decided to go see it yesterday, we knew it was going to be busy, but we had no idea just how busy until we got there. I'm very picky when it comes to sitting at movies. I have to be dead center and as far back as possible. Don't even try to sit me off to the side. We have plans for when the three of us go to movies. I go to the concession, my Mom and brother get the tickets and then my brother runs off to the theatre to claim our seats as my Mom comes over and helps me carry the popcorn and drinks. We got there at 11am, when the box office opened, so did about 60-70 over people. I was dying, I hate lines, I hate waiting and I hate not getting my spot. That's when we decided to go to the noon showing, instead of the 11:30 one. We got into the theatre just after 11 and the lights weren't even on yet, but we were the first ones there and we got our seats.

The movie was on the long side, coming in at about 2.5 hours. But it was action packed the entire time. The Decepticons are back, bigger and meaner than ever. I've always been scared of Megatron... just something about him makes me want to hide. There were a few sad parts nothing I'll get into though, don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet. One part I thought was really funny was when a giant super Decepticon was trying to climb up a pyramid, Agent Simmons commented on it's balls... yes, the Decepticon had balls. I think I laughed the hardest out of everyone in the theatre. Secretly I'm a 15 year old boy who enjoy that's kind of humour. One thing I found that wasn't great was that I had a hard time following which Transformer was what, while the action and fight scenes were good, they all just looked like a giant mash of metal. I found it funny though that when they were fight scenes between the Autobots and the Decepticons and one punched another, instead of blood (because they are robots, they don't have blood) they'd 'bleed' bright red sparks. Of course at the end, they left it open for a third installment, which I have no complaints about.

Overall, I thought the movie was really great and would give it 4/5 stars. It would have been 4.5/5 stars but watching Megan Fox for 2.5 hours takes a toll on ones self esteem. That said, I can't wait to see it again. I'll probably go sometime this week.

Sunday's Secret- My Secret.

This isn't my secret, but if I had to send one in right now this is what it would say. Reason number 134092059309 why I don't make the first move, it never works and they never call. I'm back to lonely square one. Just call me Gigi.

If a guy has had your number for five days, they should have called by now if they were interested right? Don't hold back, I think I already know the answer.

Seriously, what's wrong with me?

I hate being so alone.

Charlie's Angel.

While the whole world seems to be talking about the sudden loss of Michael Jackson, we cannot forget that another pop culture icon passed away yesterday. Yes, it was expected as she was battling cancer for the past few years, but in no way should we let one celebrity death trample over another. I was never a fan of Jackson or his work. And while his death certainly was sudden and shocking, I can't say it's really going to affect me in any way. Farrah Fawcett was a beautiful woman and while I know little about her I'm saddened by this loss. Farrah will be best known for her role as Jill Munroe, the beautiful blonde, in the tv show Charlie's Angels and well as the picture posted below.
