Aug. 19 Motivation: It's hard for me to motivate myself to get a job. I read this in my horoscope today in 24: "Everything you need to implement change are at your finger tips. All you need is the desire to move forward."
Aug. 20 Tosh. O: The summer is ending, and the summer shows are ending. In Plain Sight is over, and so is Tosh. O. Well this show got renewed so yay! Here's a joke that was on awhile.
Viewer: Do you like waffle?
Daniel: No, I like pancake.
lol.
Last night's ep had the cutest and funniest thing ever. The last clip they showed was Daniel and a dog sitting at a table. The dog looked like my friend Leslie's dog Mickey. Dan and the dog both moved their heads in unison from left to right, right to left, up and down, down and up. It was so cute.
Joke: I saw Conan O' Brien the other night, and it was a rerun, but I never saw it. Conan was at a science fair with all these smart university students displaying their projects. On the back of the shirts it said: "Go for the Au." Get it? Au in the chemistry table stands for gold. That reminds me of gr. 10 science class where a sub calls my name and then says: "Golden Girl." Then he explained to me that my last name stood for gold.
A guy was talking to a group of people. Conan is standing from a distance.
C: And he is talking about how to get to first base.
Music: I borrowed the Michael Jackson cd "The Essential" which holds most of his hits. It's 2 discs. I do like "You Rock my World" and "PYT Pretty Young Thing." I read that Natalli from So You Think You Can Dance Canada was supposed to be in his comeback tour as a backup dancer, but of course that plan fell short.
Then I borrowed Emimen's new album "Relapse." His album is offensive and scary. Yeah, I hear his music and see his videos on TV and the radio. Well since I don't like it, after one whole listen of the album, I returned it the next day.
I then got Demi Lavato's 2nd album "Here We go Again." That's more my cup of tea. I borrowed her first cd from the library and like the song "In the Middle." In the first album most songs are co- written with the Jonas Brothers. In this new album I like the song "Catch Me" which is a song soley written by DL. It's a love song.
I do like the fast rock song "Got Dynamite" about you have to break down the walls around me to get to know me. "World of Chances is co- writtten between DL and John Mayer. I like "Stop the World", co- written by DL, Nick Jonas, and PJ Bianco. I like the rock song "Everytime You Lie." In fact, today is DL's 17th bday.
Fun: I bumped into my old Professional Writing classmate Meghan again on the bus. She was with her boyfriend Landon, and he was in the program too. Landon and I kind of recognized each other.
Teen Pregnancy: Yes, I'm back on my favorite topic again. I was thinking about this time years ago when I saw on Maury, about teen girls who want to get pregnant. One girl got pregnant, and she was acting all smug about it. The other girls all shook hands with her. Her mom was crying and acting upset.
I think the girl was acting smug because she knows that her mom is going to take care of her and the baby. In this case, I would probably kick her out of the house. Teach her a lesson that I won't take care of her and the baby, and she is going to take responsibility of it. If not, she could come to the decision to give the baby up for adoption.
True Life: I do watch the MTV show True Life. Well it did profile MMA fighter Kit Cope in the ep "I'm a Mix Martial Arts Fighter." Now I watch it for all these other things like "I'm in Debt." It did inspire me to clean my room of papers.
Well it profiled 3 young women who are in credit card debt and one had to file for bankruptcy at 21. Mainly things were going good, and then they lost their jobs like they got laid off, and they were forced to live on credit cards. They had to move in with their family, buy cheap food, and cash their checks at Western Union which isn't really a bank.
Job: I've been working at the soup place for a year and 2 months. On Sunday, it was so quiet, I read a lot of my screenwriting book. It's quiet from 4pm- 6pm, so I always read the Metro and 24 during that time. Here's some motivation, look for a more exciting job.
Aug. 21: I told my co- worker Jen about my job search. 99 resumes, in 8 months, 1 interview. She says that there are lots of people going to school in the fall and will be quitting their jobs. Try looking for a job then. Good point.
I was reading twop.com about "TV moments that angry up the blood" about how Chelsea Lately and her comedians all made fun of this woman who is suing her college. The reason is that she can't get a job with her education. The twoper said: "Doesn't mean you paid for college, means that you are entitled to a job. What annoys me is that CL and her comedians aren't funny. Not everybody can be good looking and mediocore comediennes. She wouldn't even have this TV show if her boyfriend wasn't the president of E! Network."
Charity: Today I donated some old school supplies that I don't use to Staples. There is a bin there to donate to children who can't afford school supplies. I donated stuff like binders, and geometry sets I haven't used since jr. high. If you have any old school supplies you don't use, donate to Staples.
Aug. 22 Post Grad: I read reviews of this movie starring Alexis Bleidel. I get three newspapers, and one gave it 1 star, one gave it 2 stars, one gave it 2 and a half stars. They mainly dissed it saying the movie doesn't even deal with the angst and the consequences of being young and jobless. It's about a girl who gets straight As in school, and then doesn't get a great job at this publishing company. Then she moves back in with her family.
Well I'm sure a lot of people can relate to it, especially now in the recession. Like the above, someone from twop.com said that only 18% of college graduates got jobs.
The Devil's Diary: Right now I'm watching this 2006 TV movie. It stars Alexz Johnson (Jude from the TV show Instant Star.) She plays this girl Dominque and her friend Ursula (Magda Apanowicz from Renegade Press). They find this book which is the Devil's diary. Ursula has this urge to write in it, and she writes about how she hates these people in her school. She wishes bad things to happen to them, and it happens.
It also stars other Canadian actors like Miriam McDonald (Emma from Degrassi: The Next Generation). On Degrassi, MM plays a good girl. On this it shows more range like a mean girl. Deanna Casaluce (Alex from Degrassi). She plays a outcast/ bad girl on the show, but in the movie she plays MM's mean girl friend. First Ursula wishes something bad to happen to MM, and she lands in the hospital.
Then later MM's friends manage to steal the book away from U, and then they write in the book that U dies. U then dies, as her friends try to save her. Then DC takes the book, she writes that she wants MM to die. MM does. She wishes all the boys to want her. Later one of the mean girls played by Laura Konechny teams up with Dominque and her friends to stop DC.
DC manipulates the two boys to go and kill Dominique when she manages to get the book. D starts ripping the book's pages. DC starts hurting. D then throws the book against the wall and it falls hard on the ground. DC is then thrown against the wall, and falls downs hard on the ground, and is killed.
D is shocked. She didn't mean to kill her. She was trying to get the boys away from her. That totally reminded me of what the producer John said to me. He mentioned how my lead character loses the audience's sympathy even though it was in self- defense. I then had to raise the stakes and make the lead character be forced to do what he had to do to save himself.
Then the next scene, D is once again forced to save herself again without losing the audience's sympathy. Her stepdad was pretty skeevy to begin with. He then takes the book out of her hands, and he attempts to assault her. She fights back, and locks the door. He is trying to break in, and she is forced to write in the book wishing that he would die. He uses a pair of scissors to break in, and he then stabs himself in the neck with it.
Cut to D all shocked that it occured. D was in talks with the Priest the entire time. Priest then gets Priest 2 to come to get the book. Priest 2 is actually evil. D then manages to kill P2 by stabbing the book. P2 is set on fire by supernatural forces. Cut to 6 weeks later, and D is a mental hospital.
D then feels that the book is discovered in the graveyard by 2 boys. One of them takes it and she knows everything is going to start all over again. In horror movies, I don't like it when the lead character fights, and fights, and then loses. I do like when they win. Or in horror movies, throw in one last scare like in Final Destination, and Final Destination 2.
