I have a job at Wal-Mart now. I work in the Electronics section and it's pretty hardcore. Everyday, they've been telling me horror stories about working during Christmas. It's going to be horrible but a good learning experience.

I went to go see Funny People last night with my cousin, Renee. Going into the movie I had pretty high expectations because everyone starring in the movie are practically my favorite actors (apart from Adam Sandler, I love him but not as much as Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Leslie Mann and the best one of all; Jason Schwartzman) + one of my all time favorite directors, Judd Apatow. The commercials for the movie were funny but also seemed as though there would be a deep/emotional core to it which I was excited to see. It's 2 hours and 26 minutes long, which I will complain about later.

Let's start off with the basic plot, Adam Sandler plays a famous actor/comedian, George Simmons who has learnt that he's going to die. He does a gig at a comedy club and completely bombs. Ira (played by Seth Rogen) is on after him and goes on about how depressed George was and gets the crowd laughing. George gets mad at him but realises that Ira has some pretty funny jokes and hires him to write some for him. They become friends simply because George doesn't have any friends and he seems like he can relate to Ira. We also find out that George lost his love of his life 12 years ago (Leslie Mann) because he cheated on her.

My problem with the movie is the way Ira (Seth Rogen) is treated by people around him. He's a real genuine sweetheart in the movie and everyone keeps putting him down and acting like he's abnormal for being such a nice guy. It made me even a little uncomfortable watching other people basically bully him. I might be going a little far with this but that's how I felt as I was watching the movie.

Adam Sandlder plays the role of George Simmons very well. He's a likeable person but he's very empty, kind of like fake emotions.

Jason Schwartzman plays a real asshole, you'll know what I mean when you see it. Jason is one of my favorite male actors ever and he did an awesome job in this movie.

OK SO THE LENGTH was WAY too long. For people like me who absolutely adore Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow, I didn't mind how long it was because I love seeing those people on screen but for people who aren't die hard fans like I am are going to complain about the running time and will factor in to reasons why they might tell other people they hated it therefore preventing more people from seeing the movie which bothers me. (Wow, that was a really long sentence, haha.) If they made it shorter at least people would have a chance. I don't know if any of that made sense but if it made sense to you, you're awesome.

Overall, I would give this movie a 7.5 out of 10 even though I REALLY wanted to give it a 10 when I saw the commercials. If the cast and director had been any other people than these guys this movie would have completely failed.

I've been packing all day. I now have 2 boxes full of books, two "Rubbermaid" boxes of DVDs, two more "Rubbermaid" boxes of magazines and sweatshirts and I'm not quite done. I have this really weird obssession about the boxes being too heavy for the movers but my mother assures me that they are professionals that know what they are doing - it still bothers me. I'm leaving my clothes in my dresser and everything that is in my computer desk is staying in (it's just easier that way). I've taken down everything that was on my cork board and everything on my walls. Tomorrow is the last day of packing, the movers are coming in the afternoon and bringing everything to the new house. It's going to be a very hot and long day.

Yesterday I went swimming for 3 hours straight with my little brother and then spent an hour sitting in the sun drying. It was an awesome day to say the least. It's been so hot lately, I find myself just sitting in front of a fan and not moving for a long period of time. It's too hot to move.

I was watching Monkeybone, yes Monkeybone, last night and fell asleep within the first 20 minutes. I like when that happens.

You know that feeling of deciding between two things that are going to change your life completely either way you pick. I'm right in the middle of that exact conundrum. It's hard to think about anything else when all that's going through your mind is those two choices. There's pros and cons about each but in the end you have to look at the big picture and choose which is better for your life.

On a happier note, wait is there a happier note? I've always just wanted to start a paragraph like that. I've finished reading White Oleander by Janet Fitch and managed to also finish Paper Towns by John Green also. I'm actually quite proud about finishing Paper Towns in only 2 days. Next one is An Abundance Of Katherines by John Green once again. I had bought all his books last year in Toronto. I've already read Looking For Alaska which is still the best so far.

Although I ordered the second season of Nip/Tuck weeks ago, I can't get myself to watch it - ONLY because I want it to last. I don't know the next time I'll be able to order season three so I want to indulge in what I have. It's sooo good though. The last episode I watched was the one where they had to seperate conjoined twins.
