I went to DC for a few days after New Years just to get away before work started up again.
It was cold, I got sick, saw my friends and it was a great trip :)

Last night was the annual Baldwin Alumni party. This year it was at a place called La Plage...? said like plash...I don't know...The beach. It was nice. At one point I went into the bathroom and there was some girl looking like she was going to puke just sitting there infront of the sink. The water was running and her hand was in the water, but she wasn't washing her hands. I asked her if she was ok. She said yes. Apparently this was her way of making ground..."getting intouch with reality" I think she said. Riiiiight....I walked out.

There was lots of all the F's.

Robert Neville (Will Smith) voluntarily stays behind in NYC in hopes of finding a cure to the virus that has wiped out the earth's population in less than three years transforming those infected into aggressive, hairless, hungry zombies.
To me the human turned aggressive zombie virus was used already in 30 Days/30 Days Later. Sure there are differences. The virus in I Am Legend is an unexpected side effect of curing another illness. Also, the zombies are computer made. It would've been better to see real people zombies in this movie, like in 30 Days. There's just times I'm so over cgi.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie. There's this sense of desperation all throughout that just kept building. It's a completely desperate situation. You're the only normal, non-infected human as far as you know. Your only companion is a dog and you interact with store manequins. For about three years you've been chased by zombies that want to eat you and you haven't found a cure. Anyone would be desperate.
I liked the way the city was transformed into this abandoned, desolate concrete land where deer and lions run free. I didn't like, aside from the cgi zombies, the fact that for such a smart person, Dr. Neville has some mayor brain farts that caused a hell of a lot of trouble for him. I guess it all goes back to the desperation. Also, the zombies are portrayed as mindless creatures and then as exhibiting rational thought. Ok...so which is it? Dumb zombie or smart zombie?
The more I think about it, the more questions I have so I'll just stop. As far as movies go, it was entertaining. But where in the world did that woman get a brand new shiny car from??? No more questions!!!!

All right! So it was my birthday. At work I was surprised with a cake. Then I went out to dinner with some friends. The day after I had the actual party which was loads of fun. I made Jello shots which I'd never done before. Jello shots aren't a common thing in PR parties so I didn't know how they were going to be received. Ok....they were the first thing to go! Jello shots were a hit!
Antonio and Andrea made lots of food and gave me the over-sized number balloons. The funny and sad part of that is that the next day when I went to bring them inside, the zero had flown away. Looks like it wasn't tied too good to the weight. It had been pretty windy and rainy these past couple of days....so the zero jumped ship. I still have the three!

A small town becomes trapped under a mist filled with unmentionable killing power. Right, ok. I was curious to see what was in the mist. And it's Stephen King, so it atleast had to be entertaining, right? What is they say...curiosity killed the cat? People, stay curious.
After the mist falls, a group of town's people are trapped in a supermarket trying to figure out the best way to stay alive. As quickly as they become trapped, they lose all sense of rational though. The new supermarket township if you will, is quickly divided into two groups. On one side you have the followers and on the other side you have the thinkers. By followers, I mean, they become entranced with Mrs. Carmody's (Marcia Gay Harden) religious rants. Their mob mentality led by Mrs. Carmody drives them to do anything she says no questions asked. The thinkers just want to get the hell out of there and as far away from the mist as possible.
I will give the movie credit for Marcia Gay Harden's role. It was well acted and annoying as hell. I definitely enjoyed her character's over-due death. That's about it though. The movie was full of bad acting and this socio-moral-religious experiment that pops up in the market was ridiculous. Also, was this supposed to be a horror, Sci-fi thriller? It was more like an extremely bad comedy. As for what was in the mist? Starship Troopers did it better.
What can I say about the ending...it's the only real twist in the movie and I just rolled my eyes. The movie is completely predictable and not worth whatever you have to pay to see it. Stay away from The Mist.

This was a movie I was really waiting to see (I love Felicity...I mean, Keri Russell).
The movie revolves around Jenna's (Keri Russell) crappy life. She's a waitress at a pie shop in a small town. Stuck in a marriage to a man she doesn't love and can't stand, Earl (Jeremy Sisto), has almost complete abusive control over her life. The only part that is hers, is her love of pie making. Anytime she has a problem or feeling, she imagines how to make it into a pie. Just as she's about to make her escape from Earl, wouldn't you know...she gets pregnant. Oops!
Her reaction to being pregnant is awesome, sincere and refreshing. My reaction: Finally! A movie with a real reaction to an unwanted pregnancy! It was great seeing the other side to the pregnancy coin with a comedic twist. Usually you see the happy or scared shitless side, but not here. Jenna feels no joy or fear when it comes to her baby. To her it's just another way she's trapped by Earl. You definitely don't see mothers-to-be starting letters to their unborn child like "Dear Damn Baby...". Hilarious! This was one of the parts I liked. They showed how stuck and lost someone can be in that situation, but filled with sly humor.
Of course, this being a movie, the end is all roses. I didn't think it matched the feeling of the whole movie, but an apathetic ending wouldn't sit well with the general public. I'm not sure how I thought the movie would've ended if it kept on track. Even so, you can tell what's going to happen, but it's still a sweet movie filled with quirky characters that complement each other well.
**This was Adrienne Shelly's (writer, director, actress) last movie. She was murdered while working on it.**

Participating in this race wasn't even my idea. Running 5K's are NEVER my doing. Even so, I found myself signed up for it. There were a whole bunch of people who were supposed to run with me. "Supposed to" being the operative word because they never showed up. I was left all on my lonesome to run a race I had no intension of running in the first place.
So there I am, alone, seeing if I recognize anyone. Nope. Well, I did see someone. The only person I recognized was this trainer who does a lot of business in my neighborhood. Great. The race is about to start and someone was already on the ground passing out. MAN DOWN!!! It was a warm afternoon, but it wasn't HOT.
I'm surprised I didn't pass out! This time around I hadn't exercised as much as I did for Race For The Cure, so it was definitely harder. But...I finished. I grabbed my participation metal and headed for home. The next day at work I found out two of the group actually did make it to the race, but photo finish style. Also, they're faster runners so I never saw them.
Now they want me to sign up for the Theodoro Moscoso 10K. WHAT?!

It had become tradition that for halloween, I would fly up to DC and spend the crazy party night with my college friends at our annual Dabu party. This year that didn't happen. Well, there was no party either, but even if there had been one, I wasn't going to be able to go. Having to work sucks like that.
For previous parties, it had also become tradition to make a mix cd (that would be played at nauseum) and give it away as the party favor. But this year....no party, no cd right? WRONG!
