Halloween is a silly azz holiday. I haven’t dressed up in years but put the effort in to be the best darn pirate I could be this time around. I know that this is supposed to be a kid’s holiday, but 30+thousand grown adults showed up for the Halloween Street party on Church Street this year.
This was the funniest costume I saw!! Do you see the bills on his utility belt?!?!?!?
I had been waiting to see this movie for MONTHS, and I’ve gotta say, it didn’t let me down (like LakeView Terrace did). I won’t be a meanie and spoil the movie for you, but let’s just say it was FUN to watch.
First off, the plot was on the same wavelength as to what’s going on in the world today. My entry about ‘Big Brother Watching‘ was realized in this film for sure. Technology, networks and ‘The Patriot Act’ were the driving forces of the film.
The stars of Eagle Eye; Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan were being led by an anonymous caller through a cat and mouse game with the FBI and the Air force. They were commanded to jump off buildings, run high speed chases with the cops, rob, steal, and even inject themselves with questionable substances while stowing away on a cargo plane. The whole while, they were carefully being watched by this caller through surveillance cameras and satellite; never knowing the full extent of what they were doing…and more importantly, WHY?!?!?
The plot was excuted perfectly and most of my questions during the film were answered by the end. Overall, I give it a 10 out of 10!
I only have a few side notes…
Why was the president in 2009 a grey haired white man? Are they implying that McCain’s going to win the election?
I didn’t like the way the ‘ARIA‘ looked…too fake for me.
There was a case that they were forced to carry and protect for a part of the film…they used the contents for something…but in my mind..I think the writers actually intended to use that for something else..it just didn’t fit to me.
Just got paid, bored, and I’m shopping online. Someone please stop me!
I’m feeling this little turtleneck dress from Alloy.com. At $39.50, I think it’s worth it. Oh, and you NEED the belt too ($16.50)
This shirt from Victoria’s Secret is different. I’m digging the sleeves on this one ($48.00) Here’s another selection from Victoria’s secret. A little pricey at $88.00 (and I’m not 100% on the front pockets), but I think it’s secccssy.
These would be great for skinny jeans. Victoria’s secret is also giving 20% off BOOTS right now (coupon code 20BOOTS)…. Oh sweet baby Jesus!
I tried these on during my trip to Miami last month and was in love. VS is giving em at 20% off right now! (Regular $149)
This Quontum Tie Tabard Dress would be a perfect compliment to a pair of sassy pumps or booties…$83.70. (The tie can go to the back too)
Forever21.com Cardigan. (Great for the cold climate in my office) $27.80
With all of the social networking/photo sharing/blogging/micro-blogging/video-sharing onine platforms out there, are you worried that people (possibly you) are over-exposed to the public these days?
We all have to admit, the advances in the internet have changed the world. We can communicate with people anywhere, we can see and learn about things we’ve never seen before, and we can make friends with people we may never meet in ‘the real world’. But on the dark side, some of us leave ourselves open to cyberstalking (which can easily spill over to real-life stalking), discrimination, and personal turmoil.
Run a Google search on your screen-name or email address and you’ll see just how OPEN you really are.
Scenario #1
You apply for a job at xyz ,Inc. Your resume includes your email address. All your potential employer has to do is check on Google/myspace/facebook (And believe me, they LOVE to do it) and they’ll see whatever you’ve got posted on the net. There’s nothing to stop this potential employer from judging you based off your profile, your personal thoughts, and your pictures (which could cost you a perfect opportunity at xyz, inc.).
Scenario #2
You work for xyz, inc and had a bad day at work. First thing you do is get home and complain about it on your blog. The page gets lots of hits and the following week, you get FIRED for bringing bad publicity to your company. Think it didn’t happen? Ask the bloggers from dooce.com and ninetyninezeros, and they’ll let you know, it’s DEFINITELY possible.
Scenario #3
You never know what type of person you’re going to be when you ‘grow up’ and those wild photos you’ve got online may come back to bite you harder than you could ever imagine. What if Obama had a MySpae page pack in his wild and crazy years of youth (that’s if MySpace had existed back then). He already admitted that he experimented with lots of things and partied hard…if those photos were available on the web, he’d be screwed (and so would America right now)!
Hi everybody! It’s me! Thalie! LOL, I felt pretty cute today. What’d you wear today? Send me the photo / link and I’ll post ya later! (nathalie407@yahoo.com)
Let me tell you why! Last night, after 8+ hours of hard work, my sister has me dye her hair jet black.
As you can see, the color was applied carefully, evenly, just straight flawless (except for the split ends)! I even blow dried it afterwards by HAND.
Just look at it flowing in the wind!!!
So after all of that hard work with ALL her hair, guess what she paid me?
A whole two dollars! Now, what am I supposed to do with that Deena? You’re lucky you’re my sister, I would have cut all your hair off and burned it! I guess this abuse comes with being sisters. I’ll get you back soon!
I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to wear for my birthday. Not that I have anything planned for it, but I at least need to be ready for whatever comes my way!
This reminded me a little of something Rhianna would wear. Probably rock it out with those signature heavy bangs she likes. Do the yellow shoes match? NO, but they’re an added pop of color, and I like yellow so THERE!
I saw Garcelle wearing this on Concreteloop.com and fell in LOVE. Too bad the dress is over $400.00 bucks! A girl can dream though can’t she?
