The Bad News Is... The Donor Isn't Dead.

So, out of nowhere my mom gets a call from "the donor". (that's what we call my "dad") The donor says that my half-brother (his son with his first wife) called him to get me his phone numbers because he would like to get together and get to know each other. We have met before, and even hung out once or twice as kids, but we didn't grow up together so I've spent less time with him then even the donor. I guess he's got 3 kids now. I am going to call him, because I've thought over the years that it would be neat for us to at least know each other, but it's kinda strange too. I don't know what I'm supposed to talk about with him. lol... other than bashing the donor. I know we have that in common. Anyway, we'll see how that goes. Then today, I got a message through myspace from a friend I haven't seen in probably 6 years. That's cool too.

Hell Hath No Fury Like a Ginger Scorned!

Yesterday there was a Gingerkid uprising. lol. Apparently the group ImprovEverwhere decided to put together a mock protest. They got together a group of people to protest outside a Wendy's. There issue?... Wendy's logo, Wendy, as a symbol of redheads everywhere. lol You can check out footage of the event here at CollegeHumor.com My personal favorite chants are "Biggie Size Bigotry!" and "We love Frostys, but at what cost-y?" lol Good times.

Movie Reviews: In bulk

Holy crap I have seen some fucking movies recently.

First and most importantly Harry Potter 5. I loved this movie, of course because it's Harry Potter right? ... However, I do have to say that it really sucks that so much is left out of the movies. I know that it's not realistic to expect everything to make it in... it would just be too long. Still, I must admit that the movie just didn't blow my mind and make me say I LOVE IT! I really liked it.

Transformers: I LOVE IT! I was never really a Transformer fan as a kid, all I needed was Barbie. So, I had no expectations going into this movie, maybe that helped. Thought it was great! (However, I hated the cheesy "There is more to us than meets the eye" comment at the end. gag!)

Die Hard 4: Loved it!!! I always love me some Bruce Willis, and he didn't disappoint me.

Thank You For Smoking: Fantastic movie!!

The Queen: Great movie... but it it's accurate the Queen's husband is such an asshole!

How to Eat Fried Worms: really cute, reminded me of how much I loved the book as a kid

Notorious Bettie Page: I love Bettie Page and I thought that Gretchen Mol did a great job as Bettie.

Breach: Really great performances by everyone... Ryan Phillipe is SO cute.

Catch & Release: eh. It was ok. Not great, not shit. Just ok.

An American Haunting: ...um. ok. ? It was... different.

Happy Birthday Amurika!

I hope all of you had a great July 4th. I did. I've got family in town that haven't been here in 10 years, and it's been great getting to spend time with them. Of course, with our family time together means playing Nerts! (a group solitaire type game). This game is HUGE in our family... it's THE game and we all take it pretty serious, so getting to play it for 2 days straight was awesome! My cousins are so much older now so they're really good at the game, which makes it more fun. I'll get to see them tomorrow again before they leave for Canada on Saturday. They are moving from Oklahoma to Portland, but before they do they are visiting the family here and in Canada. We went and parked to watch the fireworks over the city...it was a great day. :D

In other news, Big Brother 8 started today! WOO HOO... I'm SO excited!!! I LIKE IT A LOT! This season there is going to be an additional 3 hours of uncensored footage every night on Showtime. My Big Brother cup runneth over. As for tonight's show... all I can say is the Nick, the football player, is fucking hot! Seriously, check him out here. While there, check out his favorite movies. "Legends of the Fall, Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans". hmmm. Interesting answers from an ex Pro Football Player.
