Friend and I went to see Paranormal Activity 2 last night. I haven't been to a movie on a Friday night in forever. I forgot just how crowded it could get. And how expensive it is. Anyhoo, the movie was surprisingly scary. More so than the first one. At least in my humble opinion. It's like they kept what was really creepy about the first one and left out the ridiculous bits that turned it from 'realistically' scary to bad sci-fi movie. I don't know if that sentence makes sense, but all I'm trying to say is that PA2 is a very creepy movie. And it explains the events of the first one to some degree. Although the idea of weird-ass things happening for no reason might actually be scarier. Whatever. Good movie. Large crowd with good energy. Fun times had by all.

And then on the way home, my friend tells me about something that happened near where I live. A cemetery worker in Colma, Calif., has discovered two plastic jars containing human hearts half buried in a remote section of the town's massive cemetery, according to police. Let's just say that last night wasn't the best night's sleep I've ever had ;)

The town of Colma has approximately 1,500 residents, but more than 1.5 million people are buried in the cemetery, leading to Colma to be dubbed the City of the Dead.

I should point out that we don't just have a cemetery. We have many.

Last night I was on the computer until about 2am playing with PSP and making a banner and icon featuring Ikuta Toma and Yoon Eun Hye (a Korean actress). I still wanted Toma in my banner, but I also wanted something different. Plus I think Eun Hye is adorable/gorgeous and I absolutely loved her in Coffee Prince. I'll post some pictures of her when I do my girl!crush picspam. Anyhoo, the banner is simple but I like it. The lyrics are from 'Now Hang Me Up To Dry' by Cold War Kids because thanks to those Burn Notice commercials, I can't get that shit out of my head. Would anybody happen to have that song? Or Lady Gaga's album while I'm asking? *bats eyelashes*



Anyway, the point of this is that now I think I've started shipping it. Ugh, I sound like a fandom!secret. Not in a realistic way of course, but in some. kind. of way... probably a Mary Sue kinda way *shrug* I don't even know how that would work. They just look pretty together ;P But I feel like creating a backstory for them and a fanmix and I don't know what's wrong with me.

After I got off the computer at 2, I watched an episode of Star Trek. TOS of course. I can't seem to fall asleep these days without watching some. The night before I went to sleep around 2am because I just had to finish Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. And now that I finally own all three seasons, look out! I'll never sleep again.

Today we actually had some excitement at work. A car was smoking in front of our store (thankfully not right outside). We were all watching and calling 911 just to make sure the police knew what was going on when the damn thing burst into flames. Only in the front/engine area, but still. Other than movies, I've never seen a car actually on fire. Thank God the fire didn't reach the gas and blow. It was crazy. And smelled disgusting. At one point, we had 4 cop cars and 2 fire engines there. But yeah, that was the highlight of my day.

Oh, and I know y'all probably know about this by now, but if you haven't seen any of those 'literal music videos' floating around there, I recommend you start with 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'. I couldn't stop laughing XD

Although for me it was just another Sunday. Thankfully though, a Sunday I did not have to work.

My mom and I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japantown. We got there early so we could get parking, but we were so early, they were still setting everything up. So we went shopping in one of the little markets to kill some time. Then I went to the bookstore and bought *cough* a couple *cough* magazines. After we put our food and magazines in the car, we went out into the main area to get some food (beef skewers, takoyaki, and udon) and watch the taiko drummers. It was a lovely day for San Francisco - sunny, but there was a breeze so it wasn't hot. It's too bad I'll in be in San Jose next weekend - George Takei is going to be the Grand Marshal in the parade.

We entered the raffle to possibly win 2 round trip tickets to Japan. God, that would be fantastic *dreams* And since it is Easter, but I don't have a basket, I bought myself a couple chocolate eggs with toys inside. One is cute and the other is a T-rex.

Rawr.

In other news, Amazon is being a douche and I don't want to talk about Red Dwarf because I want to pretend it isn't all over again :(

Stargate Atlantis co-star Jason Momoa was assaulted at a Hollywood cafe last Saturday, November 15, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times.

Twenty-one-year-old Venice resident Dominic Bando argued with Momoa at the cafe, according to the L.A. County district attorney's office, striking him in the face with a pint beer glass, which shattered.

Momoa needed 140 stitches to his face during reconstructive surgery.

I'm here - http://oxoniensis.livejournal.com/367156.html?thread=19622196#t19622196

Today was my last day at Gynesonics. It was a nice day. Bloody hot, though.

I was going to go out to lunch with my stepmom, but it kind of turned into a girls lunch thing when the other two people who work in my area came with us. It was really nice talking to them outside of work.

I'll miss my coworkers. Everyone there was very nice to me and fun to work for/with. Even the boss, especially the boss, was really cool. He's one of those big kids and I just hope I get a boss like him again.

After dinner, my dad took my sister and me to the mall where I got the new Geek Monthly magazine with Simon Pegg on the cover and The Middleman and Psych on the inside. It's like winning the magazine lottery <3 I also got a pair of T-Rex skeleton earrings ^_^

And now I have to pack because tomorrow I'm going back to Daly City for a week and next weekend I'm off to Scotland/England.

Still can't quite believe it o_0
