Dancin on my own....ish

GUESS WHAT!
This post is a three-day-in-one-er.
Friday Night:
Went to see Toy Story 3 with CD and PD. Awesome. Especially for a "tri-quel". I laughed so hard (esp at the bloopers) and even cried a little. You'll love it. Why are you still here and not watching it? Go. Now. I'll wait....

Alright and now that you're back let me catch you up on the rest of the weekend.
Saturday:
Went to work as usual, but with NO KIDS! Wooooooo. So just sat w/ MA, and by the time I got home I was already tired of just sittin around. Toria called, but she was sleepin somewhere else that night.
And dumbnut had obv. pushed my buttons (and I still don't get how/why it bothers me!) so I decided to take PD up on her offer of going to Lucky 13. Can you seriously believe that. Me + bar (in Canada) = Well I'm just not sure anymore, since we're apparently living in a parallel universe...

So I went. It was with PD, her cousins, her brother, and her one cousin's 4 friends. Saw RG. Which was so...strange, especially since I haven't seen her in ...omg 1 year at least, and that has been the year of her most visible transformation. Too sad that PD's older cousin didn't have picture ID!! Crazy eh. But I guess he's the type that never goes out either, so didn't know (like me with stupid concerts that have licensed areas :l). He didn't get to come in :(
It was pretty fun. Good enough music...but honestly, it was just what I thought it would be but it felt more like high school than I imagined. But with *only* drunk people this time, instead of just the random idiots.

Oh btw it was my FIRST TIME.

Sunday:
After work, where btw I told MA about the.."situation" that I had told Clarice and Taylor about on the CR trip. I think she was shocked to say the least. Very least.
I think she'll be good about it though...seems like she wouldn't...judge I suppose would be the word...
After work...it was the BEST day outside. Hot, sunny with a breeze. And since I apparently have no friends on beautiful days like this and always end up wasting them..I decided to take matters into my own hands...or to my own feet. I went out. For a leisurely stroll. No itinerary, no plan, no structure....Just my iPod, camera, and debit card (just in case I was held for ransom by some people in full black outfits...)...Except that almost as soon as I left the house I wanted DQ. So I decided that somehow, someway I would make my way there (but of course the most scenic route possible).
Just before DQ I decided NO! I will not be a slave to mass-marketing (of the Strawberry Golden Oreo Blizzard, no plug intended...), and went to McD's instead for a refreshing Dollar Drink. Iced tea, no ice. Perfect, cause it's coooooold and doesn't get all melty OR flat. (Have I mentioned I am in love with $ drinks?)

Went to see MA for a bit, and then ended up in Coronation Park. Sat. Relxed. And had the best time out with myself. I am extremely good company, and know just when to shut up and enjoy the scenery without having to tell myself.
I was out for about 2 hours. :)
Pictures taken were ahmazing. And the light was just right.
I will be posting today's entry in a bit.
It has a theme.

I think.

This Is It

Well, that was it anyway....

I must admit that I didn't cry as much as expected! Good thing...? I suppose. I just thought that the movie would be more "real", and not such a "concert experience". Honestly, it did look like the tour would've been more than I ever thought possible and just...amazing (which is a totally over-used word and sometimes just fits with what I'm trying to say!). I'm not going to ruin the movie...yet. I'll post tomorrow with a bunch of spoilers but for right now my arm is killing me (from the H1N1 shot I got on Wednesday. More about that later too. TRUST ME) and I'm tired AND I have to work tomorrow early, AND I'm trying to come up with more lame excuses but can't because...I....can't LOL

But in all the movie was sometimes just jaw-dropping. It is amazing what technology can do nowadays, but just plain sad to know that fans won't be able to really see what could have been. I can't wait to put the spoilers out tomorrow. There is just so much to talk about with the movie. It was, in all, happy moments though. It made it seem like MJ was really loving what he was doing. And he was so happy. As were his dancers and crew :) Anyway I can go on and on now or make you suffer and pine until tomorrow...unless you promise to give me all your Halloween candy tomorrow....ok....well....suffer and pine it is then.

Gone too Soon

I know that your hearts have ached for me for about a week. Sorry playa. School/Work have been craazaay but I missed you just as much as you missed me, trust me. Anyway, I guess you want me to get to the point of why I finally chose today to write...Well come on, you guys, you should know by now!


MICHAEL JACKSON'S THIS IS IT!

I know it came out on Wed. but don't blame me for being 2 days late! I still love him just as much and bought my tickets two weeks+ ago.

A part of me is worrying that a certain site claiming that the movie is not an accurate portrayl of his late few weeks/days is true. I hope it's not. It would be such a let down to know that they picked and chose only what they wanted the world to see from the 100+ hours of rehearsal footage.
At the same time, would it really be a good idea to "accurately" show him during his last few weeks (considering some reports that he was "frail", "sickly", and "skeleton-like"?? I don't believe those reports for a second; I mean come on did you see the rehearsal vids that they've put out so far? He looks amazing! I hope that this movie is not some big cover up to relieve guilty conscience and placate the public/fans.
Either way, MJ was the most amazing/talented performer/entertainer this world has ever/probably will ever see. I can personally say that with 100% confidence. There is no one that even comes close to his energy or creativity. It's still hard to believe that he could really be gone.

In the end....I'm just EXCITED. I got all ready, so that I can look good for MJ. How sad, right? Oh well, you know me by now, and I know you love me more.

Scotiabank Theatre. 6.45 pm. Friday Oct. 30. Be there or be ...not there. But if you're not you're missing out!


PS I have to write about this MJ book I'm reading. It's ridiculous, but for all the wrong reasons. It makes me mad...for all the wrong reasons. Tell you more later.
