Pinhole Camera Update

I have painted the inside of the box black. Unfortunate, I don't think the paint is holding any good. I picked the box because it already has a hole on the side of the box. I figure it would be one less thing to do. Now I have to go back to square one. It sucks.

Being Semi-Productive



My current project is building a Pinhole camera for my Photography class. I am looking online for intrusion on how to build one. Hopefully, I can work on it tomorrow.

Here is the box I am using:


Today was a semi productive day. Filled out another job application. Hopefully, this one may work out. Then went to the antique mall to buy some vinyl albums. I been eyeing The Beatles album for about a few months now. But my greatest find of the day was Queen’s News of the World album. I been wanting to buy all the Queen vinyl's to go with my Queen CDs. Here my finds for the day:

More Snow Expected

Great, more snow expected in this area again.  We got quite a bit of snow this same time last week. I just saw we are under Winter Weather Advisory until midnight Saturday morning.  I am getting tired of snow. I am ready for spring to be here.

I been working on my hemp jewelry. My goal is to build enough to sell at Hillybilly Days in June. I am thinking about building a website to show off my different works. I found a hosting site for the site. I am just looking for a name for it right now. The only name I got so far is Hippie Gnome.

Another side project I am going to try to do is making homemade Bath Salt. I got the stuff to make it the other day. Within the next day or two, I am going to try out the recipe for it.

Job Search Update

First off...I feel like a job searching whore. I walk in a place and pray to Baby Jesus that the place is hiring. It wears a person out. Granted, I had no plan of attack. Just walked into places. I forgot how many applications I have filled out over the past few days now. It was a lot though. Now I get to do this all over again. Yay me!!!

I cant believe I missed this one:
'Pants on the Ground' Mashups From Around the Web

No one can deny that General Larry Platt created the best water cooler moment from last night's 'American Idol' auditions. If anybody in the Atlanta crowd deserved 15 minutes of fame on national television, it was Platt.

The 62-year-old, who took part in the Civil Rights Veterans Movement in 1963, gave Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Kara DioGuardi a comic relief after a long day of auditions when Platt sang his original song, 'Pants on the Ground.' But we're loving all the remixes that have hit the Internet.





The song that we been singing for about a week now:

Current Project

My current project right now is cataloging all my DVDs. I spent years working at a video store and have dvds movies to show for it. I want to get them in CD Book like this:


By doing that, the cases will not take up as much space as it does. By organizing them, I know what I have. It is amazing that I have found movies I didn't know I even owned. I am building a database using Microsoft Excel. I want to keep the list in ABC order but when they are put in the books, I plan name the books like Book A slot 1 to help find any certain title.

I am not sure if I should log in my VHS movies in the list or create it's own list. I have a bunch of VHS movies too. You can find them so dirt cheap now that if you watch them once, you got your moneys worth. Any suggestions on that issue?

My dream is to one have a home movie theater. I would love to have a basement to turn into the home theater. I have tons of movie posters to frame. I would want friends and family to come over and enjoy the home theater too. Right now, it just a pipe dream but who knows.

Doctor Who actor is coming to American TV

Ok, I am a happy fan girl. Tennant + legal show= I'm in.

'Doctor Who' star lands 'Rex' pilot

David Tennant will play a top Chicago litigator

By Nellie Andreeva

Nov 2, 2009, 11:00 PM ET

No longer will American TV audiences be asking doctor who?

Popular British actor David Tennant, best known for playing the title role in the BBC's long-running sci-fi series "Doctor Who," is set to make his American television debut as the title character in NBC's hourlong pilot "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer."

Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson, "Rex" centers on Rex Alexander (Tennant), a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.

David Semel, who directed the pilots for "Heroes" and "Life," has come on board to helm the comedic legal drama from Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun.

He will also executive produce with veteran Barry Schindel (who is attached as showrunner), Gail Berman, Lloyd Braun and Gene Stein. Leeds and Lampson serve as supervising producers.

NBC greenlighted the project in August, about two years after it was first developed, and had been trying to find a lead actor for several months until Tennant came along and nailed the part.

Tennant, a theater and TV actor, rose to fame playing the mysterious alien time-traveler at the center of "Doctor Who" for the past five years. His performance as the Doctor has been often rated as the top in the franchise's 46-year history.

Tennant's casting is reminiscent of the tapping of another established British TV actor with virtually no American TV experience, Hugh Laurie, as the lead on Fox's medical drama "House."

Tennant, who co-starred in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," recently signed with UTA. He's also repped by U.K.'s Independent Talent Group.

Love Quote

How true is this quote? I can related to this 120%.

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” - Neil Gaiman

Lifetime Movies

I have to admit, I can be a sucker for some of Lifetime movies. Granted, there is some real crappy ones but there also some really good ones too. I was watching one today and I saw ad for two new movies best on two of Ann Rule's books. Ann Rule writes true crime book. I am a huge fan of her book. I have read quite a few of them. Any who, there going to two miniseries based off the two books, Too Late To Say Good Bye and Everything She Ever Wanted.

Here the write up for the movies:
Everything She Ever Wanted
  • Made: 2009
  • Genre: True Crime Drama
  • Stars: Gina Gershon, Victor Garber, Rachel Blanchard
From bestselling author Ann Rule comes a tale of obsessive love, greed, and murder. For their wedding portrait, Pat and Tom Allanson posed as Rhett and Scarlett as an homage to their Southern roots and dreams for a Tara-like plantation where they can rise through the hierarchy of the South Carolina elite. Less than two months later, their dream exploded in terror and murder: when Tom was convicted of the gruesome slaying of his parents. Pat's own brother died in a puzzling suicide, her grandparents-in-law were poisoned, and no one-- from her employers to her own children-- was safe when Pat Allanson didn't get her way. Inspired by a True Story.

Part One premieres Nov. 14 and Part Two premieres Nov. 15 at 8 pm et/9 pm pt.

Too Late To Say Goodbye
  • Made: 2009
  • Genre: True Crime Drama
  • Stars: Rob Lowe, Lauren Holly
The story of Jenn and Bart Corbin(Lowe); a couple who appear to have the perfect marriage. Wedded bliss, though, is not always what it seems, as Jenn discovers Bart’s affair with a beautiful co-worker. Distraught, Jenn turns to the Internet, where she makes a connection with a charming mystery man. When Jenn is found dead – apparently the result of a devastating suicide – her loving sister insists that Jenn would never have willingly taken her own life and left her children without their mother. Could the killer be her husband, who has some dark secrets of his own, or possibly her online suitor, who may not be exactly the person Jenn had imagined?

Premieres November 7 at 9 pm et/pt on LMN.

Out of the two books, I liked Everything more than Too Late to say Goodbye. I am curious how loyal the movies will be to the case. I own both the book and the movie to And Never Let Her Go. The movie is loyal to the case to a point. The biggest problem with the movie is that the lead actress was so miscast. The actress in the movie had a short blonde pixie cut while her real life counter part was a long brunette with curly hair. That was big problem with the movie.

That is sad that I am excited about two Lifetime movies.

Birthday Post

First off, Thank you so much to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday. It really meant a lot to me. It was a pretty easy going day. The highlights where getting my car back from the auto shop and hanging out with Lica. I don't get my gift from my brother until tomorrow. I will receive my parents gift next week.
Here the Birthday Cake (My Dad's birthday is on Friday):
On the School front: I passed my test from Saturday with a perfect score 160/150 (10 bonus points)

TV: Ok, Southpark was so funny tonight. Butter becomes a pimp. I really want some sound bytes of Pimp Butters for my phone. That was so funny.

I have an idea for a poll. I have a sock monkey with no name. Havn't named it at all. Here the deal. I will let everyone vote on a name for him. Please put any ideas in the comment area, then after a few days, I set a poll up with the sugguestions.

Queen Videos

Since it getting close to my birthday, I decided post one of my all time favorite Queen songs. I am a die hard Queen fan. Did you know that there is a huge gathering of Queen fans every year. It is called Breakthru. That sound so much fun for me. lol
Here is the my favorite video:

It is a lesser known Queen song. It was a minor hit for them in the UK. I just love that song. This video shows Freddie's showman ship. I love Brian May's guitar solo too.

On an odd musical note, I feel so bad but I like Britney Spears' new song 3. Extremely catchy. If you hear the lyrics, It what you think its about. It pretty straight forward.

Back to home work. Been running MSN when I been working on my homework. My MSN email is lady.persephone@hotmail.com .

Off to working on homework and listening to Tool Academy 2.

School, School, School

I should have written :Homework,Homework, and more homework.

I am half way done with all my homework for the upcoming week. Took my test this morning. I think I did good. Right now, I am trying to find two tort court cases to do a court brief on. The first one I picked was the infamous McDonald's coffee case. I havn't picked a second one yet. I found one, Tarasoff v. Regents of the University of California, but the case brief is about 38 pages long. Depends on if I want to sort though all that. My paper is not due until the end of November but I might want to get a head start.

Any ideas for a good tort law case?

Under a week

Hard to believe but my birthday is coming up in under a week. It seems like this year has gone by so quick. I don't have any plans at all. Probably sit at home like normal. I sorta hope somebody remembers this year. No one remember last year at all. I would love to something for my birthday. It been years since I have done anything special for my birthday. It would mean so much to do something.

For the rest of the week, I have no plans. Just work on homework.
