May 23 Job: Today it started off well. I've been working at the Soup place for almost a year. My grandma still didn't know where I worked at because she can't read English. Today I finally showed her where I worked, and now she knows. When I got there, Don was already there though he wasn't really supposed to work.
He was there for some food prep. He already turned on the stoves to make it hot for me to put the soups in so that's good. He then told me to go and call Wayne, the managers' nephew. I thought his name was Wei, but I was wrong. So anyway, I called him and he said he's at work and can't come in to help out.
I then called Cameron a few times, but couldn't even leave a message. He doesn't really work here anymore, but his sister Ray works here and she said he was going to help. Then I ended up calling Delmoon to come and work. He showed up at 12pm and helped out. Then Christine came early and started 30 min. early too which is good because then it got really busy.
Movies: The other day I borrowed the movie The Spirit from the library. It's from the creator of Sin City and 300. I saw Sin City and I found that movie really hard to watch. It was rated R. The Spirit was filmed the same way Sin City was. However, this movie was PG- 13. This movie was average. I didn't love it, nor hate it.
It had big names like Eva Mendes, Samuel L. Jackson, and Scarlett Johannsen. What was a nice surprise was the actress Stana Katic. She plays the detective on the new show Castle. In the movie, she also plays a cop. However, she is actually funny in the movie as an eager rookie cop.
I then borrowed the movie The Clique from the library. It's based on the book series about rich girls going to a private school. The movie has this girl Claire move into Massie's guest house and they don't get along. I went on imdb.com and it got a rating of 4.9/10 out of 600 votes. I give this a mediocore girl movie.
Did you know that Tyra Banks produced this? Well her audience for her talk show and Top Model is for women. She is all about helping girls and young women. This movie kind of taught a lesson of not being mean and showing respect. It's mildly funny here and there. At least there is continuity where one of the girls has to do this school project, and that project is used throughout the entire movie.
I did like watching the gag reel, because I love watching that kind of stuff.
The other day, I also saw the movie Casino Royale. The Simpsons did do a parody of this movie. Homer and Ned become bounty hunters. Later Ned has to arrest Homer, and there is this huge chase scene that is like the one in the beginning of the movie. The movie is great, there was lots of action, and suspense.
In the first chase scene, the bad guy jumps and goes right through this small hole that's above the wall. Then Bond runs right through the dry wall and there is this huge hole in it. Patrick says that the whole audience in the movie theatre laughed at that part. Now it's on Showcase, and we were watching that scene again, and P laughed.
Writing: Today I woke up this morning thinking about that So You Think You Can Dance Canada audition. I realize I'm an average dancer. Then I thought about my writing. They are both creative outlets. My co- worker Christine told me today that I'm a good writer because she reads my weekly emails. I thanked her.
May 24 Flash Gordon: You know how I mentioned before about how I hate it when on Smallville, people experience kryptonite and they do all these bad things? Afterwards they forget what they did. Well I was watching Flash Gordon last night, and he acted all weird by being in love with this girl Aura who is one of the antagonists. It's revealed that Aura used this love potion on Flash. Later Flash gets the antidote and remembers what he did. He then faces the consequences.
I remember some episodes earlier, there was this girl who had this power by releasing this smell and guys will fall in love with her. It later occured to Flash, and he said: "Wow this smell is better than CK One." lol. I like Eric Johnson, and the show. However, I would give this show an average rating. It's funny, and the writing isn't lazy or anything with people forgetting about what the did under some trance. I only watch it for EJ.
Tomorrow my managers will be back. Finally, I do feel overworked.
Music: I borrowed the cd from the band Panic at the Disco. I found the cd to be like a rock cd, but with adult contemporary and a little country in it. I didn't really like it, but then again I'm not interested in the band.
Names: Today I found this website about baby names. http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/
You can look up your name, and they will tell you the origin and what it means. There are also charts to see how popular or unpopular your name is. I know that Leslie is a unisex name, but kind of leaning more towards girls. There's a chart that proves it. Leslie has increased as a girl name, and decreased as a guy's name.
There is a survey: "Is your name _____?" If so, please do a 3 min. survey. It was fun. They ask questions like: "What are your nicknames?" I say: "Trace, Crazy Tracy." lol. Other questions like:
"Do people tease you about your name?" No.
"Do you like your name?" Neutral. Well it's not too common of a name, or too weird of a name.
"Do people mispell your name?" Occasionally. (There are different ways to spell my name.)
"Do foreigners have trouble pronouncing your name?" No.
They also ask for your bday to see if zodiac signs have any correlation with certain names. They also asked what music, and movies do you like. They asked about hair and eye colour too.
May 25: Today I got an email from a production company and they said they wanted to read my script. I emailed them back with a couple questions. I then spent the whole night working on my script. I was going line by line editing so I could put it all in one draft. I did have The Hills and Jay Leno in the background, but mostly I was reading and writing.
Rant: Here's another rant. I have two 3.5 floppy disks that hold The Fighter. I have multiple disks that have each draft of it on it. I also have the hard copies where I printed it out. I learned that from Legal Issues for Writers class. If you don't want people to steal your idea, you should file for a copyright at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office.
You should also keep all your drafts of it as proof. Anyway, the script is all seperated in different documents so I was transferring it all to one document on one disk. Then one of the disks stopped working. I am annoyed. This disk was 4 years old. I have disks that are older than that and they haven't stopped working.
Though a couple of Memorex disks stopped working after 2 years. I'm okay though because fortunately I have a lot of other disks that hold my writing. I still managed to put it all in one draft on one disk.
May 26 Good: Today I mailed my script to another production company. They asked for it. I hope they like it.
Buffy: I read this on twop.com with the headline "Buffy 3.0?" There is works of a remake of the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. However, Joss Whedon the creator isn't even going to be in it. Nor Sarah Michelle Gellar or any other of the TV series actors. They will get Sam Raimi the guy who directed The Grudge to do it. I went on imdb.com and there's nothing about a remake.
Maybe it won't get produced, and they're just talking about it. People's comments underneath it vary. Some are sad, and some are happy. I would like to see it. I am a big fan of the show, and I would like to see how it would be remade. It's that saying: "Don't knock it until you try it."
