Hunger Games Movie

I've been waiting for this movie to come out and I have less than a month to wait. I was telling one my co-workers that he needs to read the books first to appreciate the plot just in case the movie doesn't cover everything the book does. The books are kinda lengthy but it is filled with tons of death and violence. I think this is going to be a must see movie, so I'm hoping that the movie is just as fantastic as the book is. If you haven't read The Hunger Games.. I suggest looking into it because once you start reading it you might not be able to put it down.

New Eddie Murphy Movie

I just saw the preview for Eddie Murphy's new movie and apparently it is going to be his first movie where he really doesn't talk in? From what I've seen I think it is going to be somewhat of a good movie. A man named Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) uses his words to lie so he can get around around stressful situations.
 Jack and the tree are connected and everytime he speaks the leaves of the tree falls off. So somehow he has to make it through the movie without saying much or he'll die. It sounds interesting so I guess I'm going to have to see for myself.

Valentine's Day

This past Valentine's Day was really special because it was the first one I spent with someone else other than my mother. I've never had a boyfriend around Valentine's Day and now that I did I had to be with him. My boyfriend Gage and I have been together for about a year and he lives a little over 2 hours away near Bloomington, IL so i decided to visit him over the weekend. I had someone cover my shift on Mon. and skipped a few classes on Tues, b/c being with him was more important. lol Unfortunately, I couldn't skip the whole day so I had a long drive back to Swic. Before I left, he gave me this cute braclet with a whole bunch of charms on it and some chocolate. It was the best Valetine's Day I have ever had.

Top 5 Television Shows

1) Adventure Time
2) Biggest Loser
3) Vampire Diaries
4) One Tree Hill
5) Office

          Adventure Time is about a boy named Finn and his talking dog Jake, who fight monsters and save their friends. What makes this show so hilarious is that everything is so random. The last episode I watched was when Finn had hurt his foot and Jake hired 5 clown nurses to take care of them. Finn was reading in his magical book that Cyclops tears could heal any ailment. One clown was said, “Finn, your toes need lots and lots of smoochies,” in this weird, creepy voice. Finn flipped out and when she started licking his toes and jumped out of bed screaming, “There must be another way!” Later on in the episode, Finn got depressed once he realized how crazy he was acting and started singing in auto tune.
    I love the Biggest Loser. I’ve seen every episode since the show started and I find it entertaining to watch. I enjoy seeing people who really need help work for what they want. I think the show is somewhat inspirational because the viewers watching at home can get inspiration from the contestants on the ranch and lose the weight at home. I also enjoy watching makeover week because you get to see just how close the contestants are to obtaining their goal.           
     Vampire Diaries is a show that came on the air after the first Twilight movie and I think that it is one of the best vampire/supernatural shows on TV. It is currently in its third season and things are getting crazy. There is a hybrid named Clause, who is both a werewolf and a vampire. He’s currently trying to build a hybrid army, but he can’t do it without the blood of a girl named Alaina. Alaina is a human, who is in love with her vampire ex- boyfriend named Stefan. She also has feelings for his brother Damon. It’s a show that you have to watch from the beginning to really understand. So if you’re into vampires, werewolves, and love triangles this might be the show for you.
   

 One Tree Hill is a show that I’ve been watching almost since it began. It’s filled with lots of drama and I could relate to it when I was high school, because all teens worried about what they were going to do after graduation at some point. Besides the drama, there are a lot of sexy white guys in the show that makes me enjoy the show even more.

   The Office is another show that I love because it is unpredictable. I like that each episode is something new and that if you happen to miss one weekly episode, you don’t really get lost. I didn’t like Steve Carell as the boss as much as I did Will Farell. He is one of my favorite actors and when I heard he was going to be the temporary boss I was thrilled. Unfortunately, he didn’t last very long on the show because on one episode he broke both of his legs trying to dunk.
      
  It was hard just narrowing down to just 5 shows, but now you have an insight on some of the shows that I enjoy watching.
