Can 365 Days Change A Person?

"Love & Other Drugs" was today's movie. I am saddened to say this movie looked cuter than it truly was. I don't know what I had expected of this movie but I found it very lacking on an actual plot. Man screws anything that moves. Man becomes drug rep and gets an even better push with the selling of Viagra. Falls for a nymphomaniac who has Parkinson's and wants to fix her. Entirely too much sex and not enough story in my mind. Even a few of the reviews made the comment "This was not a movie it was porn."

Jamie is a great salesman. Perhaps a little too good. He is handsome and loves empty sex with whomever he can get his hands on. This sexual prowess of his will cost him his job. In doing so it opens another door for him. A Pfizer drug rep. He finds it hard to meet his quota at first but figures out how to play the rep game. Perhaps he learns it at the right time as Pfizer introduces Viagra.

Jamie will use every angle he can to get ahead. Viagra only boosts him career wise. However he still must contend with his sexual prowess. He meets his match in Maggie, a nymphomaniac with Parkinson's. The last thing she wants is a relationship. Friends with benefits is her ideal relationship with him. Jamie will fall for her. She doesn't want to be a burden to anyone as she grows sicker.

The harder Jamie falls for her the more they seem to grow apart and Jamie is more focused on fixing her like she is a project. Will he figure out what he wants more?

In IMVU I decided to make the bridal or bellix hair without any ornamentation.

Day 35 - Friday

2011-05-06T15:15:00.000-04:00

Today's movie was far from my first pick of a movie. I never got into the whole TRON thing ever. I thought it was just an overall geeky and stupid concept to begin with. That was the first time around. Perhaps it was because when TRON cam out the first time I was not the gamer I am today. So you can imagine how I felt when Spencer had mentioned he would love to see "TRON: Legacy". He had opted to not rent it. He is a sweet guy like that. However I could not let him do that. He has never stopped me from watching something I wanted to see whether or not he has watched it with me. So when we got our soda at Kroger we got redbox codes. We got "TRON Legacy" since I did not have to pay for it. That way if it did truly suck I lost no money just a couple hours of my time... HAHA.

That all said... Overall It was a decent movie. While it might not have been my cup of tea I still watched it. I did like the modern upgrades to it. I would take a guess that the people who worked with this film likely even played TRON in the first place. I feel the recreation was fantastic if not better than the original thoughts of it so many years ago. The visual effects were stunning too. Not to mention the color schemes. Very well done. So I am not totally upset I watched it in the end.

Sam was orphaned at 7 when his father disappeared. His father was one of the creators of TRON. He was working on a project with the grid when he disappeared.

Twenty years pass and Sam does not want to run the Encom corporation, the TRON Creators. Alan, a co-creator of TRON gets a page from Sam's father's office. It was disconnected shortly after his disappearance. He urges Sam to check it out. Sam goes to the arcade and finds a secret door that leads to his father's old office. Under the many layers of dust he finds a computer system and boots into it. Before he knows what has happened he winds up inside TRON and in the grid.

Sam will now have to face the games and is a user versus a program. Users are not supposed to be in the grid only programs. In the games he is forced to play he will either win or die trying. It is found out he is a user and brought to Clu. He mistakes Clu to be his father at first. All Clu wants is the "DISK". The disk holds all the information about the wearer of it. In this case Clu had hoped Sam's disk would give him information on the outside world. As he finds none he puts Sam to more games expecting it to bring him to his demise. Quorra will step in to get Sam to his father instead.

Sam reunited with his father wants to bring his father back home and out of TRON. He is wanted by Clu so his disk can be used to get to the outside world. Sam refuses to lose his father once more and has to find a way to get them back home together. Will he succeed or will Clu get the disk?

In IMVU as I mentioned yesterday I was working on some requests for one of Orion's slaves. Here are a couple more pieces. I still have a few more requests to work out.

day 34 - Cinco De Mayo

2011-05-05T01:26:00.000-04:00

Today's movie admittedly Spencer wanted to see it more than I did. For any relationship to work their should be compromise. So knowing he wanted to see it I reserved it in the redbox and we picked it up. I was pleasantly surprised with the movie. I had thought it was going to be utterly stupid but i found it a great family fun film. The movie was "Yogi Bear". I often get real unsure of the live action movies. I was used to things as one way so I am never sure if they are going to be worth it. This one was cute and in typical Yogi fashion.

Yogi is constantly stealing picnic baskets. His best friend Boo Boo is always trying to be the voice of reason, even if he is not successful. A "Movie Lady" as Yogi and Boo Boo call her wants to document the park and Yogi through her "Boo Boo Cam". She places a camera in Boo Boo's bow tie. The ranger realizes he likes the movie lady and acts kind of goofy around her.

Even in his lovestruck mind he cannot be prepared for what is on the Mayor's agenda. The Mayor wants to see profit on the park or he intends to rezone it. The ranger has a week to make the budget they are under in. With some help from the lovely movie lady a 100th birthday celebration is planned for the park. The goal to raise the money with discounted season passes.

The ranger asks for only one thing... Yogi to behave. This should not be so hard for a smarter than your average bear to handle. With Boo Boo trying to keep Yogi from not stealing baskets and a power hungry head ranger want to be encouraging Yogi there is bound to be something to go wrong. Yogi will try to jazz up the party and fail miserably. It looks like it just might be the end of Jellystone Park.

Unless... The movie lady realizes in looking through the footage from her "Boo Boo Cam" that there is a rare turtle in the park. Can they save the park and the turtle before it is too late?

In IMVU today it was a friend's birthday so I decided to make her something special. She is a poet and while she loves the dresses I have made so far she had commented she wished there was more white in them. She recently purchased the universal hood from the Free Companion Ceremony set, so I found a way to match it. Here was her birthday gift from me:

LOTTE POET
MADE SPECIAL FOR A POET ON HER BIRTHDAY.
This dress is meant to be paired with my silver free companion ceremony pieces as they were ones she liked most.
THIS IS THE DRESS ONLY ALL OTHER PIECES SOLD SEPARATELY
A floor length, fluted gown with fluted sleeves. The dress itself is white with a silvery lacy overlay. Lacy stockings underneath. Accented in teal and red ruffles and lace.

I have a few more things to work on for her but that will be tomorrow and likely at least one other day. She is very specific on what she wants and Orion is very finicky so I have to make sure they are perfect enough that they both approve.

Day 33 - Wednesday May 4

2011-05-04T23:20:00.000-04:00

Now today I watched Lindsay Lohan in a movie. While I do not totally agree with her personally I have liked her acting in the few movies I have seen her in. This movie was no exception. This movie is too funny. It is a great story about the mess lies can make. Especially lies that people are going to see through at some point. It is a great movie for just about anyone I think. Perfect amount of comedy and drama mixed with a great storyline. The lesson however is "Don't lie, you are going to get caught in the end." The movie was "Labor Pains".

Thea is just living moment to moment. She is working to support herself and her sister. Their parents died in a car accident. Thea tends to lie to cover her rear every chance she gets. While she is trying her best she is not the greatest at being on time for anything. That includes her job and her sister's appointments with her guidance counselor about her future. In Thea's having to play mom the sisters have an obvious wedge between them.

At work Thea can at least confide in her best friend and fellow secretary in the office. The two of them frequent the bathroom for smoke breaks and bathing of the boss' dog. In a heated discussion of Thea's actual views of her boss he happens to over hear her from the men's bathroom next door and barges into the women's bathroom demanding her to his office. There he is intending to fire her. She can't afford to lose her job. She is already behind in rent, she has to support her sister. She in a quick thought says she is pregnant so he can't legally fire her. Without thinking once more she spews out a due date which makes her about 4 months pregnant. Her body does not show that though so her best friend helps her come up with a solution until she can figure out a way out of this.

Before Thea can confess that she lied to save her rear she gets pulled into a deal because of being pregnant. Now to keep the position she has she continues to play the part. One lie leads to yet another as she now begins to believe she is pregnant. She will do nothing without her fake belly and continues to keep up the facade of the pregnancy. Eventually she is bound to get caught up in her lies. When that day comes will she lose everything she has gained in her lies? Including quite possibly the friends she has made and the man she has an interest in? Is there any way for her to come out of this in one piece?

In IMVU I went with an absolutely too cute hairstyle. in my not feeling well the last couple days I had put them in a few at a time which is why you will see "Now available in" In each new set I added the pictures of the previous released set. Just in case I did not get them all up. Here they are:

Day 32 - Tuesday

2011-05-03T21:59:00.000-04:00

I recalled from working at Walmart that the redbox drops movies around 12:01 AM for new releases. Today being Tuesday the new releases drop today. I have been awaiting today for "Little Fockers". I wanted to see it before now. What was holding me back however was that Spencer had not seen the first 2. Netflix mailed us "Meet The Parents" just in time. So at 12:01 am we were at a Redbox to get "Little Fockers".

Admittedly, It did not live up to my expectations. While it is still a good movie I expected more. Perhaps it was all the hype from the lead up that I found myself just not as happy with the film as I had hoped. It contains more serious tones in this one as well. There is adultery and heart conditions in this one which tends to take away some points of humor. Overall though the 3 movies combined are worth the watch. It is not nearly as great as the first two but they are a hard act to follow. So here is the layout of the movie:

Five years have passed since the Focker wedding. The pregnancy turned out to be twins, a boy and a girl. The twins 5th birthday is fast approaching so the family is getting together for it. Of course this means something is bound to go wrong.

Jack is having heart issues, even had a mild heart attack that he keeps hidden by confiding in Greg. Because of his failing heart he becomes panicked to know the family in general will be well cared for and be in good hands should something happen. Greg is his only choice now. Doctor Bob had an affair so he is now out of the circle of trust, thus leaving only Greg, the male nurse. Greg has maintained the male nurse though he now has a higher position in the hospital and not enough money.

Jack putting pressure on Greg makes him take on a drug campaign for some extra cash. This extra money is not going to come easy when the lovely Andy comes with it. Andy seems more interested in Greg than in his work for the drug campaign. The drug is for erectile dysfunction for people with heart conditions. While he has prepared the presentation from the medical view he is told that is not what they are here for, he has to win them over to buy it. This becomes a comedic routine about his father-in-law. Greg wows them and goes about his business running into Doctor Bob along the way.

Now Greg is bound for disaster with Jack. He is fraternizing with the enemy and has a sexy work partner. Kevin is back in the area well in the money. He still loves Pam. He decides since the house is not in shape for the twins birthday party he will have it at his place. This does not sit well with Greg at first because he wants to prove he can do it all. The renovations on the house leave him no choice. Now all you need is for Pam to find out Andy is not as plain as Greg stated to ignite the flames.

Jack feels Kevin is a better suitor for Pam. He wants to correct her course and have her be with Kevin so he can rely on Kevin to care for the family when he is gone. It will push things too far and all truths will be laid out on the table. Will Kevin get Pam? Will Jack just give up? Is there something more with Greg and Andy? Will everyone wind up the typical family in the end?

In IMVU I of course had to offer another version of the Free Companion Ceremony so silver it is:

FREE COMPANION CEREMONY
Often in traveling free women were completely covered. In fact more often than not unless in their own home they were completely concealed. This does not change for a "bride" on the way to her companions city.
In the books some of the Free Companionship caravans were raided and the companions taken for ransom or even put into slavery.

There is no marriage, as we know it, on Gor, but there is the institute of the Free Companionship, which is its nearest correspondent. - Outlaw

In certain cities, in connection with the free companionship, the betrothed or pledged beauty may wear eight veils, several of which are ritualistically removed during various phases of the ceremony of companionship; the final veils, and robes, of course, are removed in private by the male who, following their removal, arms interlocked with the girl, drinks with her the wine of the companionship, after which he completes the ceremony. This sort of thing, however, varies considerably from city to city. In some cities the girl is unveiled, though not disrobed, of course, during the public ceremony. The friends of the male may then express their pleasure and joy in her beauty, and their celebration of the good fortune of their friend. - Slave Girl

AVAILABLE FOR THIS SILVER AND WHITE COLLECTION:
VEIL - GLOVES - SLIPPERS
HOOD - A hood capable of being with numerous hairstyles pick your favorite.
ROBE - Call it what you wish, a robe, a gown, or even a dress. This is a floor length gown. It has a fluted bottom and fluted long lacy sleeves. It is edged with colored lace. Even though it has a sweetheart neckline their is no flesh to be seen. It even has stockings!

Free Companions, on the Feast of their Free Companionship, commonly wear a garland of talendars. Sometimes slave girls, having been subdued, but fearing to speak, will fix talendars in their hair, that their master may know that they have at last surrendered themselves to him as helpless love slaves. - Raider

Day 31 - Monday May 2

2011-05-02T22:09:00.000-04:00

Well I had an absolutely fantastic day. Just what the doctor ordered for my severe slump into depression of late. I spent the day with my sister from Georgia. We went and ran some errands. Got lost... literally. We learned a valuable lesson, GPS is much better than APS (Aylen Positioning System). I zigged when I should have zagged. We were to go to WalMart. Instead I found our way to Joe and Heidi's house. Oops lol. Its all good though. In our wrong turn we found a bank that she needed. And across from that was the main road for lunch. We had some Texas Roadhouse. Absolutely delicious. We did find Walmart from there with the waiter's help. Then we finished it off with yummy desserts from the Kroeger bakery case. No better known cure for depression than love and affection. I love my sister, and I am so thrilled we had a day together. She left the movie 'Inception' which I will likely watch tomorrow.

As for a movie for today I watched 'Four Weddings and a Funeral". I loved this movie. I am always up for a good laugh and this movie definitely did the trick. Perhaps because I could relate to the film. I have a very large extended family. My Mother remarried. My biological father remarried. My Mother's second husband loved me enough to adopt me to call me his. Along the way if you count them all... My Mother has called 3 girls hers. My biological father called 3 boys and 4 girls his. My adoptive father has 2 girls of his own other than the 2 he shares with my mother, as well as a handful of children from the 3 marriages he has had he called his. Not to mention I grew up a ward of New York State. That means I have very strong bonds with other I call my family as well. Oh, I can't forget the brother I adopted with pound puppy papers, or the 2 sisters I have picked up in the last few years. So in short this movie was a definite thought of life as I would most likely call it. It is a movie for every taste I think.

Charles seems to like to oversleep. He is late as he rushes a young lady out of the house as well. They are late for the wedding. Charles is a mess in general. He seems to not have much luck with women. At the wedding he will find Carrie. He really likes her and blows off his family to be with her for the night. After a few roadblocks they spend an intimate night together and she leaves in the morning. Before long she is engaged to someone and it is not Charles.

Charles goes to yet another wedding. Once more he is late. His friends and family seem to not have a ton of luck in marrying off. So much so in fact that their father wants it most to see one of them marry before he dies. However they are all free spirits much like their father who is usually the center of the party. The family is beyond unique though their bluntness and seeming lack of tact makes for interesting situations.

Carrie invites Charles to her wedding. It is absolutely beautiful. At the wedding one of Charles' family members will die. They say nothing to disturb the festivities, rather keep it hushed. Now they will attend the funeral. After the funeral, a few months down the road, Charles himself will find himself at the altar. Who will the lucky bride be?

Speaking of weddings... In IMVU today I finally released the Free Companion Ceremony. You might wonder what that has to do with a wedding. Well, a Free Companion is the woman of a man on Gor. By this I mean it is the closest thing they have to a marriage. It is often used as a kind of power play between high castes. The power play would be much like Kings betrothing their children for alliances. Some are offered off to pay debts. Some just fall in love. Where the companionship differs severely from a wedding as we know it is this: In a wedding it is supposed to be until death you do part. In a companionship it is in a year agreement. It can be broken legally at any time. It is also considered null and void in instances of slavery, death and if in one year from that original drinking of the wine they do not drink wine again. So now you have seen the "goofs" on the way here. Now you get to see the final project:

ALSO AVAILABLE - CROWN OF TALENDERS
A talender is a beautiful, delicate, yellow-petaled flower often associated with feminine love, beauty and passion.
AVAILABLE WITH SILVER OR GOLD RIBBONS

The talendar is a flower which, in the Gorean mind, is associated with beauty and passion.

Day 30 - Sunday May 1

2011-05-01T22:07:00.000-04:00

The movie for today was based on a true story. It is foreign and has subtitles. Admittedly parts of it were very difficult to watch. It was very well done in my mind, very believable. Hard to remember they were actors and actresses. You fall in love with who you are supposed to and hate who you are supposed to. You can't help but feel in this movie. The movie was "The Stoning of Soraya M." Wikipedia offers this: Stoning of Soraya

Soraya is a woman from Iran. She has no rights. She is under the laws nothing compared to the men around her. She will do as she is told no questions asked or pay for her behavior. Her husband is in love with another woman. He wants a divorce and his sons. Soraya does not wish this since it will leave her and the girls in poor shape.

Her husband wants her out of his life. After a village man's wife passes Soraya for wages takes on a womanly role for him. She cooks and cleans as well as cares for his son. She returns to her home and cares for her family as well. The rumors begin as she spends much time there that she and he are not acting appropriately. Many of these rumors are started by the husband who wishes to be rid of her.

Soraya will be faced with charges of adultery. In her society that is punishable by death. All he needs is to get the man she works for to say she has done something she should not have. After all in the world she lives in a woman must prove a man's guilt, however she must prove her own innocence.

In IMVU I found 2 if my products in the outfit challenge again. Here the facial piece and the cuffs she is wearing are mine! YAY!

Okay we are finally getting to the goods I promised... I am finishing up all the things I need to for the Free Companion outfit. I have kept you waiting though so let me show you at least the floral crown that goes with it

CROWN OF TALENDERS

Day 29 - Saturday

2011-04-30T23:22:00.000-04:00

The movie that was watched for today I have both positive and negative views about. I suppose that can happen to anyone. The movie was "Winter's Bone". It is obviously in a small town where everyone is related and or knows each other. That is fine, I had no issues with that. More often than not they are great environments when you need a hand which the movie did portray. Where I had the issue was it seemed a bit stereotypical in the way the people were versus how they were most likely.

That said however. I really did like it. It was a little slow in parts but I liked the overall story and concept of the film. There was no "Hollywood flash" very plain in setting, natural. I was very impressed with that. I felt it showed how much one's family can mean to them and the things family can, will, and should do for each other.

Ree is only 17. She however is raising her 12 and 6 year old siblings. Her mother is of no help as she is ill. Her father is of even less help being out on bond for making drugs. Though only 17 Ree is well rounded and can survive just about anything thrown her way.

Ree is visited by the local sheriff who informs her that her father put their home up for his bond. Should her father who not a soul has seen, not show up for court, they will take the only thing they have left. Ree must find her father. She begins her journey to find him among the rest of the things she has to get done. She needs to teach the children how to fend for themselves should they need to. They are in a very poor state of affairs.

While teaching the children how to hunt, cook, skin, clean and how to survive she holds herself together trying to keep her family together. If she can just find her father. People try to steer her away from finding him, even abandon hope of finding him. He is even spoken of in the past tense by some. Ree figures if he does not show for court he is dead somewhere.

Will the father show up for court? Will Ree find her father? What will become of the home and the family? Ree will find a way if she can to protect her family even if it means risking her own safety.

In IMVU I decided that the Chayna dresses were beautiful, yet lacking something. What was that something? Perhaps a touch of color. I was working with a few textures and had a beautiful crimson one I had dropped into that set as I pondered what to do for a design. It was shifted on the piece that the white was amazing behind it. So I figured I would try it and see if I liked it. Oh it was fantastic. It made me say out loud, "Oooo, I know a few 'Vamps' that would love that color on black. So the new look of Chayna became this:

THE CHAYNA COLLECTION
Floor length gown. Fluted sleeves and skirt. Bared shoulders.
The chest and lace adornments are crimson or perhaps a dark blood red.
Stunningly beautiful to make any woman feel like a queen.
Available in: Black or White
Perfect for a formal wedding or prom. Be the most talked about bride, bridesmaid, or prom queen today!

Day 28 - Friday - Earth Date - The Royal Wedding

2011-04-29T02:04:00.000-04:00

Today will make history. It is the date of the Royal Wedding. Today one of Princess Diana's sons will be wed. William will marry his commoner love Kate. She will not be able to kiss the groom since that is "A Hollywood thing.". After today she will no longer be "Kate" rather "Her Majesty Katherine". I am offended however.... We do not get a special day off of work as Americans. Yet it is a "Bank Holiday" in England due to the wedding. So cheers on the day to go down in history.

I am so thrilled with the movie choice for today! I have been waiting for this one since I heard about it. Though Angelina Jolie is not a favorite of mine I knew i would find my way to see this since it had Johnny Depp in it. He looked handsome as ever. I admit he made her look good. I really loved "The Tourist". The movie was dang near perfect.

Elise is apparently being followed by police. She is more than aware of them. It seems they are following her to attempt to know more of her missing boyfriend, Alexander. Alexander owes millions in taxes. He is wanted in over 14 countries. She receives a letter from him today. She is to lose her friends and take a train.

Elise does as she is instructed to do. She is to find a man of similar height and build to fool the police with. On the train she finds Frank. Frank is an American, a tourist here. A math teacher from Wisconsin who has a love of mystery novels. After a nice dinner on the train they part ways. At least for a moment. Elise invites him to her boat and into her hotel room as her husband.

She must convince people that Frank is really Alexander. She is in love with Alexander. She just wishes he had not left her with no word for 2 long years. She has to see him even if it is only when summoned. Frank however is now a target and loves her. Somehow the people Alexander robbed now believe Frank is truly Alexander. They can kill Elise but they are not to kill Alexander, yet.

Will Elise find her Alexander? Will Frank be killed in the belief he is Alexander? Will Frank's love for Elise truly matter in the end if she is in love with Alexander?

Okay so yesterday I showed you one of my goofs that turned into something fantastic. As I was looking at it I was thinking "You know, that might look really nice in silver." As I was staring at the black one. Which BTW the black was entirely a screw up. I was trying to make a specific texture. It was a mixture of the textures which became the white in a few more filters. I just fell in love with the black texture and had to use it. I mean it is stunning against that gold yesterday. Now look how amazing it is in silver.

Day 27 - Thursday

2011-04-28T18:09:00.000-04:00

Today's movie got some extremely harsh reviews...This is a prime example of what many thought of "North"

Seriously... I did not think it sucked that bad. While I do admit I was always a sucker for the adorable as a child Elijah Wood. Perhaps it is that innocent face and those amazing eyes that made me not hate this movie as bad as the above critics. While I did find the story very unique for it's time I did find pieces of it a bit pointless. You can't help but fall in love with the boy named North. You also cannot help but dislike his enemies and question the parents intentions. Some of it is extremely far fetched but I found much humor in this movie. Not to mention a star studded cast. I do not expect all to like this movie. I figure it was geared more to children than to parents. I did like the basic message that you find in this: The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.

North is an eleven year old boy. He gets great grades and is fantastic at baseball. While many of the parents wish their children could and would be more like North, North feels ignored and unappreciated by his own parents. He is fed up. He needs to get away and think. He heads to his special spot. His special spot is a nice comfy recliner in a store. While sitting there and thinking he meets "The Easter Bunny" who tells him it is not like a baseball team he can't just trade, he is stuck with the parents he has. This puts an idea into North's head.

North tells a friend he intends to tell his parents if they cannot give him the love and attention he seeks he will trade them in for new more deserving parents. He was only venting at the time but the friend encourages him to do so and prints it in the local school paper. North takes his parents to court where he is told he has to have parents by Labor Day or go to an orphanage. So he now has a goal of what kind of family he seeks and sets off to find them.

North will travel the world to find his dream parents. In his traveling he will find many of the things he desires. He will also find some people only want a child to better their own personal needs. Even when faced with a seemingly perfect family will North find what he is looking for? What is this hole he has? Will his parents try to convince him he should just come home? Will North find his family before noon on Labor Day?
Today in IMVU I will show you 2 of the goofs I was speaking of. I have a few more goofs I am putting final touches and colors on. As I stated I was working on a free companion ceremony set. This obviously includes a robe or conservative gown that shows little to no skin. In playing around for a look I liked that to me screamed I am being companions for the better of my city and or family. These were beautiful just not what I was looking for. So if you like these stay tuned.

Day 26 - Wednesday

2011-04-27T21:06:00.000-04:00

Today, I decided to watch a classic I had never seen. Admittedly, I was surprised to learn there were 5 more. I really was not all that impressed with the first one. I suppose for the time, that it was likely one of the best werewolf movies out. Though in light of what is available today, I found it very cheesy. I mean come on, what other movie in this day and age has a 15 min long segment of a body bubbling to turn in to a werewolf, like "The Howling"?

Karen, is a newswoman who has been getting phone calls from a stalker named Eddie. It is believed that Eddie is a serial killer. Karen with the help of police, is going to attempt to set up Eddie. The police momentarily lose contact with Karen and in that moment of no contact, she has a near fatal encounter with Eddie before he is shot through the door.

Karen in her shock and trauma, recalls nothing. She remembers going in the video store, , then being with the police afterward. She watches as Eddie is taken away from the scene, dead. The Dr. she recently interviewed thinks it will benefit her to getaway to a retreat called the colony. Though she believes this may not be what is best for her, with the support of friends, she goes with her husband.

She gets wierded out by noises she is not used to, and her husband tries to convince her that these are normal noises for the country. Is it her imagination running away with her? or are the inhabitants of the colony something different then they seem?

Today for IMVU, I decided to make a silver version of yesterday's hair. It turned out something like this:

BRAIDED BRIDE HAIR
BELLIX HAIR BASED
Beautiful hair braided tightly in an upswept fashion. This updo is perfect for a blushing bride or a prom queen. Decorated with silver flowers. The silver flowers add an elegant royal appeal.

Day 25 - Tuesday

2011-04-27T00:19:00.000-04:00

This blog is a hair late today. The things were done and ready. I just could not focus. I wanted to vomit and my head was pounding. I fought a migraine most of the day and still had this to do. So I had it prepared just could no longer see straight and had to rest.

The movie for today was an oldie but a goody. I do not know what prompted us to watch this one. Overall it was not bad at all. Was kind of romantic and twisted which always makes for a happy ending in my book. I liked it and think it might have been a movie i would have overlooked otherwise. The move was "Agatha Christie's Endless Night". I only found one trailer and it is awful but here it is:

Michael is a single and handsome you man who dreams beyond his current means. He has fallen in love with a clearing and can picture his future home there. While he was admiring the area a beautiful young woman was dancing in the clearing. It was obvious they both loved the area and might like each other. Ellie was a bit embarrassed he had seen her dancing though.

As they talk about the lovely land they are on there is a creepy woman who frightens Ellie and heeds a warning to them both. They ignore her and plan to meet there once more. Ellie and Michael fall for each other before Ellie tells Michael how she truly feels he finds out she is a woman of substantial means. Even their favorite place has been sold.

Michael and Ellie wind up married and that land she had bought it. They hire a fantastic architect to design the home of their dreams. Ellie's best friend, Gretta will come to stay. She drives Michael just shy of insane. Will Gretta be the ruin of their marriage if she stays? Will the creepy old woman continue to scare Ellie? Perhaps there is more than meets the eye?

In IMVU I was realizing while I was making the dresses I did not have an elegant looking hairdo that showed off the details rather than hiding them. So I decided to look for something that might work. While this has an adornment for the hair I am debating making a set later without the flowers. The flowers ones I think will look lovely with the project I have in my head that is slow in forming. I hope to have that completed within a week. It is a "companionship" outfit. Admittedly it gives me great ideas along the way in "goofs". I just need to perfect those "goofs". So for today it was hair.

BRAIDED BRIDE HAIR
BELLIX HAIR BASED
Beautiful hair braided tightly in an upswept fashion. This updo is perfect for a blushing bride or a prom queen. Decorated with golden flowers. The gold flowers add an elegant royal appeal.

Day 24 - Monday

2011-04-25T21:41:00.000-04:00

Today I went with another Sean Patrick Flanery movie. My goodness was he so young looking in this one. He does have a very handsome yet plain look about him. I feel he was upstaged by the leading actress of the film however. She was just fantastic. The movie was "Eden"

Eden is a school. Bill is an instructor at the school. He and his wife Helen have two beautiful children. They also room 3 boys from the school. One of which, Dave, is brilliant but needs a push to succeed. Not only that but he fancies Helen.

Helen is an extraordinary woman. Mother of two who works at home. She cares for the two children as well as 3 boys not her own. She is a loving mother, wife and mentor. She also deals with multiple sclerosis or MS. It makes her tired and weak but she holds her head up and tries her best.

Bill is far from easy on her nor is he thoughtful or kind to her. This bothers Dave who feels Helen should be shown more care and compassion in her illness. Bill and Helen disagree in the teaching method of Dave. Bill is very hard on him. Helen believes he should be nurtured in his learning. Softer versus harder.

Things will begin to change when Helen gets sicker. As she gets sicker she seems to have out of body experiences. They make it easier to get her mind off things. They even make it easier for her to deal with her illness. Bill notices she is becoming more haggard but pushes on. That is until she falls to a coma. Will she awake from her coma? Will Bill come to realize just how much he should appreciate her?

As far as IMVU there was another contest. I entered it and before I could post this blog was announced as one of the winners. YAY!! My first win! It was a part of the "Refound Contest". It means I get a handful of credits back on it from the creator of the mesh. The handful are their profit. This was my submission:

Day 23 - Easter Sunday

2011-04-24T23:04:00.000-04:00

I Made the GIF above special for today. It was fun. Maybe next Easter I can make better ones, you never know. I just thought it might be fun to make a "Hoppy Easter" for today.

No this was not my only brainstorm for today. I did also get a listing or two in the catalog. Six to be precise. A little more colors in expanding from yesterday with more things in the works. Here are the new colors:

THE OONA COLLECTION
An elegant, floor length, fluted gown. With a strapless sweetheart neckline.

For a movie I had thought about watching something Easter related. I saw nothing I could watch now that I had not already seen. So I let Spencer pick a family movie. A family movie would still be appropriate as it is a day to spend with your family. He picked "Her Best Move"

Overall not a bad movie. Definitely geared to tween and teen viewers. A great story of what do we do things we do for. Even worthy of reaching for dreams and goals. Well done and natural in acting not over acted.

Sara is a sophomore in high school. She is a star player on her soccer team. Her father is a soccer coach. Her mother is a family therapist. Sara seems a rounded girl. She attends dance with her best friend. She has no boyfriend. She is also trying to become the youngest to be on the U.S. National Team.

Sara's dreams are shattered when she receives an e-mail that says to try again next year. Her mother while trying to be sympathetic really does not help matters. Her father tries to pull a few strings to get her another try out. She will get a break when a spot opens. However she is neck in neck with one of her team mates for the spot. Now she will have to out shine her team mate.

Sara meets the yearbook photographer and there is a connection between them. She barely has time for her much less time for a boy. She tries her best to have it all and things begin to fall apart. Some things have a helping hand. Sara tries to stay strong as her heart aches and breaks for the boy. As she begins to realize her life is out of her control. Who is she doing what for? Is she trying to do this soccer thing for her or her father? Certainly they can do more than talk about and breathe soccer together right? His constant pushing has made mom not want to go to the games in general.

So what will Sara do? She is getting tired and worn out. She wants to have a boyfriend and learn new things with him. She has no time. She would love to dance in a production with her best friend. She has no time and the try outs conflict with soccer practice. She has her team soccer practice and her one on one practice with her father. She even has her job at the ice cream shop. Is she too busy juggling everything to realize where her priorities are and what they should be? Will she figure out what she wants and needs for her own goals before she loses sight of them all?

Day 22 - Saturday

2011-04-23T21:27:00.000-04:00

I admit I did not much feel like doing anything today. I suffer from depression. Of late I have only been in one heck of a downward spiral. I try to find things to amuse my mind to see if it helps. I play upbeat music. Even watch comedies. I would pet my hamster but he bites. I know that it is stress pushing it over the edge of late. The economy is getting tougher and with only one of us working right now it is not very helpful. Due to how much of a funk I am in I found it very difficult to focus. I must have stared at the screen a good 3 hours before i even managed to make anything.

Finally I had an idea. I really liked the top from the pants suits I made. So I decided to make it the top on a dress. This is how it turned out:

THE OONA COLLECTION
An elegant, floor length, fluted gown. With a strapless sweetheart neckline.
Stunningly beautiful to make any woman feel like a queen.
Available in:
Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Purple

So I in my funk again felt like doing absolutely nothing. I do dislike when my depression gets such a hold of me. I have had to force myself to do anything but just sit and cry. I was not in a mood to watch a movie at all.

I have been on a Sean Patrick Flanery kick. Today's movie has him in it. I went with "30 Days Until I'm Famous". I really liked this movie. I thought it was funny how he always expected to get his way until he met one person who chose to defy him every chance she got. He learned that he was not in power all the time. A great date night movie with enough to entertain both him and her. the comedy was priceless. I was unable to find only a trailer. This is the movie in it's entirety.

Cole is looking for the next big thing. In looking for the next best thing he seems to not pay attention to the things that matter most in life or in his own personal happiness. He has become so career driven he has issues keeping relationships and expects to always get his way when he wants it. He is dangerously close to losing his job when his boss decides to give him a run for his money. He will risk it all to make a nobody a star. His boss is picking the person he is to make a star in 30 days.

Maggie is trying to make ends meet for her family. It is her mother, her grandmother, her sister, her nephew and herself in their home. It is small and cramped and they are barely keeping their heads above water. Maggie would do anything for her family even if it kills her. She just wants them happy and well. In trying to keep everyone happy she works her rump off and is seldom appreciated for it. The courier service she works for is just as kind to her as her landlord who wants his money or will kick them out. She has about had enough when she delivers the package to the record label that Cole works for.

While Maggie is delivering the package to the record label, the soon to be huge star Daisy Fresh knocks her over. This makes the rest of the packages scatter and Cole's boss decides she will be the star in 30 days to make or break Cole. Cole knows nothing of her. He has no idea if she can even do anything in the music business. He does not care he will make Maggie a star if it kills him. That is if she will take him seriously and accept his offer. She thinks he is insane and takes his card and continues about her business. After reevaluating her current financial situation she accept his offer needing the money.

Cole expects Maggie to work on his terms no questions asked like she is a drone and has no needs and feelings. He will push her to her limits and she will push him right back. Has Cole finally met his match? Can he make Maggie a huge star and save his job? Or will he push her so far she will snap and not bother to care about it?

Day 21 - Good Friday

2011-04-22T23:10:00.000-04:00

Well it is "Good Friday" for those who celebrate Easter. I did debate going to see "HOP" though I can't say as $10 per person was appealing. So I went to my trusty Netflix instead. Now I was just not wanting to see an Easter holiday movie after my dismay at the price of movies. I am just too cheap I suppose. $20 for us to both see it. We can buy the bluray when it comes out for that and even if we dislike it give it away for the same price when it is released. Yea, no thanks. That $20 is also like 4 months of netflix... That is a ton more movies for the same price.

Spencer and I realized we had not yet watched the movie that had come in the mail. So we figured it was the best option and the cheapest. The movie we got was "American History X" One of my friends had recommended it a while back. So we sat down and watched it. I was dumbfounded and in awe at this movie. What a movie.... I am not too surprised by the storyline. It is a bit too real. In New York there is a gang called "Aryan Knights". I met a few of them. Of course I also met Crypts, Bloods, Nieta , and Latin Kings. This movie actually made me think back to those I had met before. Of all the gangs I had feared most it was the Aryan Knights. They were extremely racist in thought and action. Their beliefs in those I had met were "If you are not white you are not right." They had also believed if you were white you should only be with white people as well. You could not be friends or even date a non-Caucasian and fit into the Aryan Knight frame of mind. I was admittedly disliked by them. I was taught to think for myself and diversity is a part of my vocabulary.

That said this movie made me think back to New York and how harsh of a reality it truly was. I am unsure if this movie had any "real influence" or not. It did strike a chord in me though. It may not be a movie that all can easily watch. I do recommend it highly however. It is a powerful and moving movie.

Danny is a high school student. He is told he will have a new history class and a new paper due first thing in the morning. Why though? He did turn in his paper. Perhaps it is because it is done in a white supremest manner. He is told he is now in American History X and will comply or be out of school. The new paper is to be written about his brother, Derek.

Derek has just returned home from prison. He was in there for killing two black men. He would have served life in prison had Danny actually spoken against him. Derek is an interesting topic for this paper. He is one of the main men in a white supremest group. They are tired of everyone but the white men and women getting somewhere in our country. It is believed to have stemmed from the murder of his father who was just doing his job as a fireman. His hatred is in actions as well as words. He went and found others to follow him as well. All the ideas had come from books. The author, Cameron, has helped Derek to build this gang.

Following in Derek's footsteps Danny is heading down this path. He has and shows no fear. He also refuses to back down from anyone. In doing so he seems to have made a few enemies. He does not care however. He tries to write a paper on his brother. Derek encourages Danny to write this paper and even seems changed in his return from prison. He encourages Danny to stay away from a party the gang is throwing. Derek tells them at the party he wants out. This gets Danny involved as well since he disobeyed Derek and went anyway.

Derek learned there was much more than what was seen while in prison. He recalls pieces of it for his brother when he is asked about it. Can Derek make Danny see the errors of his own ways and encourage Danny to not do the same before it is too late for him?

In IMVU I had an oops from when I made the Lara collection. I had tried to make a full face mask from a "face paint" mesh. It cut into the face too much and it annoyed me. So it was obviously not going to work. So I was trying to decide what to do with the mesh since it had already been submitted. After thinking about it I realized my facial jewelry sells well. So I decided to make facial tiaras or headdresses. Here are how they turned out:

Day 20 - Thursday

2011-04-21T01:21:00.000-04:00

Spencer and I had to see "Gnomeo and Juliet". Of course my mind was on World of Warcraft rather than garden gnomes most honestly. What is the difference you might wonder.
Well I expected Gnomeo to be more like this:

Rather than this:

Juliet I pictured more like this:

Rather than this:

Perhaps I just play wow too much.... LOL. Okay now where was I? Oh yes, "Gnomeo and Juliet". I admit it really had very little in my mind to do with "Romeo and Juliet" though some of it had similair ideas behind it. To me it was a bit more like warring neighbors. However it was absolutely adorable and well thought out I think. A story of love finding no boundaries in the end was rather touching and on a child's level well taught. To me I felt it could teach a child that no matter what anyone else feels is wrong you still can love who you like. Kind of a it is okay to think outside of the box and make your own opinions.

For as long as anyone can remember there has been a war between the neighboring gnomes. You were either red or blue. The other was your enemy. Among the lawnmower races often one ups on who could do the most damage to the other's yard were fair game.

In an escape that almost did not happen Gnomeo sees an obviously female gnome. Her features are hidden but he is mesmerized by her. He follows her to the abandoned greenhouse where they fight over a flower. He is falling for her and her playfullness. He then realizes she is a red. He is a blue. This can't happen.

Oh but Gnomeo feels drawn to her even though she is a red. He feels tormented. He over hears a conversation and learns her name is Juliet. He must see her and speak to her once more. They agree to meet at the abandoned place the next day.

There they will meet a flamingo who knows what it is like to have love and lose love. He tries to get the two of them to look passed the red and blue and see what matters most. That is until they are found out by another blue. In the fighting after both the blues and the reds will be left in wonder of what just happened.

Can Gnomeo and Juliet have their love or will it meet tragedy as Romeo and Juliet did?

In IMVU I went with an outfit today. It was for the darker side of course.

THE MAGIK COLLECTION
Bring out the black you wear in style.
Made with people who practice magic in mind.
No matter a Pagan, a Wiccan, a Drow, or whatever your life calls upon.
Wear black in style with or without the matching hood.
This is a black floor length gown. It has a long sleeved bodysuit with fluted lace edged sleeves over it. A peek of flesh above the breasts with a semi open back. Edged with flowers and lace for a touch of softness in all its darkness.

Day 19 - Wednesday April 20

2011-04-20T15:23:00.000-04:00

To all the potheads I know... Don't get too high today. Remember it is puff puff PASS not keep. Most of all stay out of mischief. And have a wonderful 420.... While I do not participate in such acts anymore I do recall many of the parties and festivities of the day.

So Spencer and I decided to go to the $2 theater. We saw "Tangled". I have to admit I found it absolutely adorable and great for all ages. I love the non traditional view of "Rapunzel". I think it was just enough to make a new generation love a timeless fairy tale. The frying pan was my favorite new touch.

The king and queen are expecting their first child. The queen has become very ill. The kingdom begins the search for a rare flower created by a drop of sun. They find the flower and save the queen. In doing so the child is born and her hair is like the golden sun.

The wicked old woman who had hoarded the flower to herself for ages tries to steal a lock of the child's hair to keep her youth as she has done with the flower for years. She realizes in cutting the strand it loses it's power and turns brown. She simply must steal the child.

Every year on the anniversary of their daughter's birth they release lanterns into the night sky. Eighteen years have passed when the beautiful young maiden in the tower asks her mother if she can go see the lanterns for her birthday. Her mother tells her no the world is too dangerous and they will only want to use her hair for their own personal gain not caring if they hurt her in the process.

She convinces her mother to get her more paint instead for her birthday and with the aid of a common theif she sets off to discover the lanterns and what hides behind them. On her adventure she will learn she can help people in just being herself. As she begins to fall in love with the theif though is it just so he can get the crown back from her? Will he only hurt her in the end like her mother says? Will she discover she is truly the lost princess?

As far as IMVU I made a couple. They all have different listings so this will be a little long today.

Okay I did say I would show you a gif. So today I have that for you. I was trying something new for my page. Spencer got me a program that makes gif making easy. It is called Easy GIF Animator. You can read more of the program HERE

Okay so my GIF was to make my name appear to flash one letter at a time. First I had to create the picture I wanter to use as a base. To get this picture I reused the corners I use in my page layout. I made some lines. I took a screenshot in IMVU that I had to edit out the background. I also had to do a little touch up on the character. The nose was peeking out of the mask. Also the hair was hiding more of the mask than I would have liked. Then of course in the final pieces I needed to add highlights and shadows. My first picture turned out like this:

So now that I had my base I needed to show it what I wanted it to change. Since a GIF is animated it must be exact. Otherwise it gets all screwy. So now I needed to figure out how I wanted to make the words "move". I decided it might be fun to highlight each letter. Admittedly it was a pain in the butt. In hind sight I offer this tip: If you intend to do each letter.... Make each letter of your word separate. In the end it would have saved much much time. So this is how the letters got highlighted:

So as you see the highlight was 1 by 1. So now I had to decide how to end the GIF. I opted with them all the darker green like this:

Now I learned another very valuable lesson. It seems GIFs do better smaller than larger. When I first uploaded the GIF it would not work right to save my life. So at first I thought perhaps it was Photobucket. Then I realized it was my error as I read to figure out how to fix it. Since I am a perfectionist I admit it really was annoying me that it would not work right. It is because a GIF is always moving is the idea behind why it is clearer smaller. Curious to know how it looks all sized to work right and put together?

As you can see it still needs some work. Perhaps fewer graphic changes and less outer glows. But it is the basic concept of how a GIF is put together. I have even started thanks to this program making "moving" catalog icons. Often when doing clothing you can't show the whole thing unless it is so small. There are millions of products in the catalog. I need every chance I can get at saying "Hey come look at me" I can get. Things that move grab your attention more than things that do not. Also this way I can show more of it in a finer detail.
Today's movie I watched solo. Spencer had not want to see "Eat, Pray, Love". I do suppose it is more of a film for a woman though I could see some men liking it as well. It is an excellent story about finding one's self. While admittedly there are points in this movie it might put some to sleep overall I found it a worthy movie. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. The music is fitting. The characters are even believable.

Liz feels unfulfilled, perhaps even trapped in her life. She believes her marriage is just not the solution to her happiness and gets a divorce. As the divorce is in proceedings she throws herself upon a young actor. Even that relationship is doomed to failure. Once the divorce is final Liz realizes she is in a slump. She needs to find herself and some happiness in her life. She cannot even recall the last time she was without a man in her life.

Liz decides she needs a year trip. On this she will go to Italy, India and Bali. She can learn the beautiful language of Italy. While in Italy she learns to be just as they are. She leans their language and even makes friends. As they share their cultures with her she shares hers in return. She realizes while there she eats more than anything. In India she will go on a spiritual journey. She will realize what she was searching for was inside her. Hopefully the meditation will help her to find the balance she seeks.

Finally her return to Bali a little more than a year later from her first visit. The medicine man does not recognize her at first. She looks much different than he remembered. It is perhaps because of the things she has learned along her journey. He will help her to continue to find her balance. While there though they tell her she cannot forget to love. She needs to love and be loved. Yet, when she thinks of men and love she loses her focus and her balance she is finding. Is it just fear of failure and heartbreak?

Phillipe will push her to her limits to find out as he falls for her. He has to know what she is afraid of and if she loves him like he loves her. Will she only run away again like she has in the past?

"Madea's Family Reunion" Was the perfect movie for today. Tyler Perry does it yet again in this hard hitting family reality movie. As usual he makes you feel like you belong right there holding on to the person that is having the rough moment. The enemies are well hated. The people you are supposed to love you do. Even Madea shows a new side in this one. I am a huge Tyler Perry fan and Madea fan. This was no let down. It was everything I have come to expect from his studios. A definite must see.

Everyone is well aware that Madea might be a trouble maker and often landing herself into court. When it comes down to her family she takes it seriously, well as seriously as she knows how. This time in court Madea will be given a runaway to care for or go to prison. She takes the child at her lawyer's doing.

Madea is working on a family reunion. That in itself is a challenge to try and get everyone together. Madea is often well aware of things unsaid in her family. She realizes something is not on the up and up with her niece who is to be married. Madea has the child to deal with though. She is brazen and mouthy. Can Madea put her back into place to get her to show respect?

That niece is being beaten by her fiance. Her mother is insistent she must be doing something wrong then. That she should not do things to upset him. Her fiance is a very wealthy man that can provide for her. That is is he doesn't kill her first. Can she see that before it is too late? Will she at least take Madea's advice?

Can the generations all get together for this family reunion or is it going to go bust? Will the wedding happen? Can Madea knock some sense into this runaway?

As far as IMVU today. I got such a great response from Spencer on them I decided it might be fun to add a couple more colors. Here is how they turned out:

THE ALEENA COLLECTION

I was a little surprised at the harsh ratings this movie got. I found humor in this movie. Perhaps I am just an odd individual. Though recently in a gaming chat I was told I needed my head examined. I was told this because I said I disliked Ton Cruise, Keanu Reeves and Brad Pitt as actors. On occasion I can find something they are in I actually like them though it is rare.

So that said perhaps my taste is unique. So the movie for today was "Baby Geniuses". Loved it I truly did. While some of it was totally unbelievable the humor is great. Not just that but it contains one of the best things to get someone out of a funk... the sound of children laughing.

Babies are fascinating. Especially to Doctors Heap and Elena Kinder. They work for BABYCO the world's leading baby items manufacturer. Not only that but unknown to the main company they are working on the "Kinder Care Method".

The kinder care method is to make baby geniuses. In this study they have come up with 8 babies. They are fascinating. Their skills indicate they are advanced in many things. Some examples they are working with are a child banging on a piano which sounds like noise through a computer is actually a symphony. They decode scribble to be an ancient writing. They are even convinced that when the children speak to each other that they are carrying on real conversations.

They have a trouble maker among the children though. His name is Sly. Sly is a part of another case study as well. He has a twin brother Whit. Whit is being raised elsewhere and only the two Doctors have any idea that Sly and Whit are twins. Sly loves to escape from the lock down the children are in. Now he has escaped and gotten too far. When Sly is brought back however he is somehow just not the same. Is it possible that it is Whit instead?

In IMVU I went with a new yet similar look on the pants outfit. This time i only changed the color of the tops versus the whole outfit. Admittedly it made it much easier to make the gif catalog pics too. I will show you the gifs at another point. Perhaps when I cannot afford to add to my catalog. Here is today's addition:

2011-04-16T22:15:00.000-04:00

I truly an not sure what I was thinking with today's movie. I had heard of it prior and honestly believed it was a joke not reality. Though as we were surfing through netflix to see what was available to watch, there it was. The ratings on it were horrid. We should have known better. Yet, we felt compelled to watch it anyway. Surely there had to be something good in this film.

While the acting was poor, so were the effects. I have to admit some of the scenery was even cheesy. I was unable to find anything I liked about this film. Even the storyline was just too unbelievable. Yes, I was Insane enough to actually watch Titanic II. I am still unsure what I was truly thinking. My only question...

WHY WOULD ANYONE BE STUPID ENOUGH TO EVEN TAKE A RISK ON A BOAT CALLED TITANIC ANYTHING!?!?

Come aboard the Titanic II. She is better and stronger than the original Titanic. Even though she was rushed together in construction. The life boats seen are for show only a mere prop. The real ones are safely somewhere else. She is taking her journey on the anniversary of the Titanic sinking.

She has not even been fully tested. Hopefully her journey will not push her too far. The question on every one's mind of course is will history repeat itself? This time the Titanic wont hit the iceberg. Instead a tsunami will throw the iceberg at the ship. Will the people stand a chance?

Well I really liked the pants outfit so decided to make a few more colors. Here is how they turned out:

THE KAJA COLLECTION
FOUR MORE DELICIOUS COLORS!
An absolutely alluring skin tight suede body suit. Sensual bared shoulders. A peek of flesh through the lacy middle. Great for leaving a lasting impression.

Okay as I mentioned I was looking for a "Kiss The Bride" with Sean Patrick Flanery in it. I was able to locate it. Oh it was so much more what I had expected in a movie that he would be in. I loved the dysfunctional family in this movie. I myself am Italian as well. I have been to Italian festivities so I can relate to much of this movie. I really liked it and the storyline. It was believable and down to earth. I might watch it again this time with Spencer. I think he would like it.

A wedding should be a memorable and wonderful affair. It is a time you wish to celebrate with your friends and family. It is supposed to be the greatest day of your life. What is you have a highly dysfunctional family?

Danni and Geoff are about to be married. Danni cannot wait as Geoff is the man of her dreams. Danni is one of 4 children all girls. The four Children are Danni, Niki, Toni, and Chrissy. All very different from each other.

Niki went off to Hollywood to become big and famous.She went there to follow her acting dreams. She left behind the love of her life Tom. When she is back in Rhode Island for Danni's wedding with her manager Marty she sees him once more. In Seeing Tom Niki realizes she might have sold her dreams short in her acting role her own father cannot watch.

Chrissy has to be the bad girl and hot shot business woman. She is always competing with Niki. She seems to get along splendid with Marty, perhaps a little too splendid. As they get closer Marty shows his true colors about Niki.

Danni is according to the other three the butt kisser in the family. She was the one who stayed close to the family. She was often at their parents home. Always trying to keep the peace in the family.

Toni is the definite wild child of the bunch. She set off with Joan Jett as her influence to be a rock and roller. She sings "What will I become" at the turning point for her. Her girlfriend Amy has left her since she sees how Toni reacts to Phil.

Put them all together with a father who seems ashamed of them and their behavior. All the older family members who refuse to allow the wedding to be catered. A Groom who just wants his bride happy. The perfect dysfunctional outcome is certain to occur. Can they manage to get the wedding off without a hitch or one of the sisters killing the other?

In IMVU I went for a few more colors similar to the Taremi collection. The sleeves are a little different too. It is a sort of mix of the Taremi and the Opulent collections in design and color patterns. It was still a neat concept. Here goes nothing:

THE TAYA COLLECTION
Floor length fluted gown decorated with frill and lace.
Available in: Black - Green - Purple - Red

Day 11 - Thursday

2011-04-15T03:04:00.000-04:00

Okay, this one was posted a little late. Went to visit the Niece and Nephew today and make some fried oreos. Of course the big boys, Spencer and Joe got caught up in Gran Turismo. I did not have the heart to tell them they could play later so i could get home to get this done. I had figured when the kids went to bed we would come home. I forgot to figure the big boys into that timing equation. LOL

In looking for a trailer for today's film I realized there are at least 3 versions of this movie. This admittedly was not the version I was looking for so I knew there were at least 2. I was looking for the one with Sean Patrick Flanery. Instead I found this one. The Movie "Kiss The Bride". This is an African American version. I found a trailer with similar character names. Possibly same story with a different interpretation that had Tori Spelling in it.

I was not overly impressed with this movie. I did like the underlying message of how sacred the unity of marriage is. I liked he had the need to be completely honest with her even though it was the past. The idea that in entering life with her as one in the eyes of the lord he could hold no secrets. While the meaning behind it gave it some life in my mind I found the movie a bit slow as well as predictable. The acting as well as the sound effects were lousy. It was like listening to a movie through a tin can.

I was unable to find a trailer for this specific version. The cover of it looks like this:

This is how the story goes:

It is the wedding day of Thomas and Robin. They are so in love and so on point that if Robin's mother has any say nothing will stop this wedding from happening on time. Even a missing father who is supposed to walk her down the aisle. Even the feuding mothers of Robin and Thomas won't stop this wedding. Thomas however will stop it in hesitating to say "I do."

They are about to face a hurdle in their plans. Robin believes she is marrying the perfect man. If this is truly the case why is Thomas is consumed in thought. Enough to even pause the wedding because it is extremely important to talk to Robin? He is unsettled with guilt about a past infidelity. Their love for each other, as well as their faith.

Can Robin forgive him? Will the wedding go on? Does it say something about Thomas that he could not enter the marriage knowing he held a secret?

In IMVU I had a request and this was my response. I was asked for a mix up of previously released pieces. The main item that was asked for was the "Poet".

THE OPSTERE COLLECTION
BY REQUEST A MASH UP OF THE AUSTERE AND OPULENT COLLECTIONS

Day 10 - Wednesday April 13

2011-04-13T23:04:00.000-04:00

Spencer and I watched today's movie "After.life" together. It was an odd and twisted movie. Admittedly though I liked it. It in my mind is one of those movies if you like "Donnie Darko" and "Fight Club" you are likely to like it. A dark and twisted film. I think I might watch it again to see anything I might have missed though I had some of it pinned. I did like the movie and the unique story in it. A great movie of wishful thinking and how love can bond those so closely.

Anna seems to be in a rut in her love life. The man she lives with, Paul is aware of this. Paul loves Anna dearly but they often argue. Paul intends to propose to Anna after telling her about his new job offer elsewhere. Anna assumes the worst and becomes hysterical. She thinks that he intends to leave her. In both of their frustrations Anna leaves distraught and drives. She is in a horrific car accident.

Paul continues to call for her. He has no idea what has happened until he shows up at Anna's Mother's house. Anna's mother is far from kind to Paul who refuses to believe Anna whom he loves so much is dead. He goes to the funeral parlor. He has to see her himself. Because he is not family he is not allowed in to see her. On the inside Anna is actually calling to him.

Anna refuses to admit she is dead. She carries on conversations with the funeral director, Eliot. Eliot seems to have a gift. He can talk with those between life and death. In Anna's refusal to admit she is dead she trashes the funeral home. She even tries to escape. She is convinced she is not dead. Certainly if she is in a funeral home she is dead. Right?

One of Anna's students is certain he saw her in a window. Paul is refusing to acknowledge she is dead. Is it wishful thinking on their part? Are they holding on to her life in denial of reality? There is a coroner's report stating she was dead. The car was totaled. So is Eliot gifted? Is Paul clinging to the love of his life in his guilt? Is the student clinging to his teacher and friend? Will Anna admit she is truly dead? Or will Anna be truly alive like Paul believes.

Now I mentioned probably a week ago about the contest I was in for making a pants outfit. It looked like this:

When I put together the catalog picture without the bobble headed noob it looked like this:

My biggest problem with it is it is said we are our own worst critics. Let me show you the pieces it was up against at this point.

As you well see the competition is quite good. I am not saying that my fellow competitors should suck by any means. Their work is fantastic. Perhaps too fantastic. You might see where my frustration lies. How the hell is that supposed to compete with the southern jeans shorts. I admit my frustration is very high in this group. I do not feel "Pro Devs" should be competing in the same category as "Non pro devs". I think it is unfair. However it is not my group, therefore not my right to complain about the unfairness.

I have a couple choices at this point. Cry and quit. Don't think that didn't sound like a great plan either. It might have been an easier option. The other was to try even harder. Do I feel this will take first place? No. But, I do think it is a much better submission than the original I made for this contest.

Here goes nothing!
