Movies, Grammys, Writing, and GH

[dauntperplexity]

It's been a good last few days. On Sunday, I had an awesome adventure with one of my good friends Eric. We went to lunch together, and then we saw not one, but two movies. I laughed because he ended up spending fifty bucks. So we saw the new Adam Sandler movie, Just Go With It, and the Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell movie, The Eagle.

Spoilers ahead...

Nothing huge. But Just Go With It was shot on Maui. My home island. It made me a little sad. *sigh*
I miss the beach. But it was fun watching places that I've been too and pools I've tried to sneak into.
Speaking of filming on Maui, does anyone watch the show Off the Map? I could have sworn that last week's episode was filmed on Maui. Or at least on the Molokai Channel which I've traveled through by boat. By the way, not fun. 

So about The Eagle, I really like Jamie Bell. The movie was all right. I was in the theatre with my two friends. Our commentary made movie a lot more fun. I wish the fight scenes were longer and there was more of them. Also, I don't know if there were any slash-y overtones. There may have been moments. Maybe if I watched it without my two guy friends.

Okay, about the Grammys. So I learned a few things. I learned that Gnarles Barkley was a group. I was in shock that I didn't realize it before. Then I realized that the person who I thought was Gnarles Barkley was actually Cee Lo Green. Then I felt dumb because in my mind I was wondering why those two sounded so much like each other. Gosh... But besides that, the Cee Lo Green/Muppets/Gwyneth Paltrow performance at the Grammys was amazing. I love love loved it! :) For you to watch if you didn't get the chance to. Yay for an Elton John Tribute!!! 

Watch on YouTube

I finished writing my two stories for d_hearts_c , or at least the first drafts. I just need to let it sit and read over it a couple of times before my posting date. I also just finished my first draft on the next Vegas!Verse story. I now have to get to work on my dc_everafter  piece. I have it outlined and started writing it.

I have figured myself out when it comes to writing. Okay, not really , but a small part. I have limited myself to finishing one story before I can even think about starting another one. I mean, I can make the Word Document and write out the prompt, but that it is. I realized that one of the reasons I can't finish a story is because I usually have at least 3 Word Documents open on my computer. According to the math, I am 25% likely to finish a story. But now, I have to finish the first draft of a story before starting another. Writing one story at a time. Baby steps. 

Now, I know that only one of my friends on LJ actually watches General Hospital, but it was just an observation I made. I really don't like Carly. I loved her when Tamara Braun played her. I just watched a scene on youtube that nearly brought me to tears. I remember watching that scene on TV. Now, Carly just irritates me. And I know that it has to do with the writing. Why do I keep watching this show?!

And General Hospital. They keep talking about Jerry Jax. I know it doesn't sound like much to a lot of you, but he was played by Sebastian Roche. He was a fun character. Hopefully he'll be back if Supernatural doesn't decide to keep him. 

I think I watch too much TV. Actually, I know I do. But it's better than watching my roommate play Mass Effect 2. Boys and their games.

I think I've spieled enough.

*rolls eyes*

This is the randomness (a lot of randomness) that is DauntPerplexity.

I SAW THAT YOU CHOSE ONE OF MY PROMPTS FOR THE d_hearts_c CHALLENGE, AND I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL PRESSURE TO MAKE IT A GOOD STORY.

j/k But I am really excited to see what you write.

Really? I love Laura Wright as Carly. I think she plays off the sillier parts better than Tamara Braun did, which is why I think they're more willing to play with her character.

...I hate every scene she shares with Brenda, though.

BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S CAUSE I HATE BRENDA.

I like her as the way that Carly is written now. But I always have a spot in my heart for Tamara Braun. Especially with the storyline where she thought that Michael was dead. *cries* Every single time.

Brenda. I am a little on the fence about her. Because her and Sonny are like 13 years in the making.

Your prompt made me smile :D

Oh, but don't worry, I do feel a little pressure every time I write something for someone else.

I really hope that you like what I've written. *is nervous*

Not related to your post, but just letting you know that I added you as I need more SPN people on my flist. I saw your reply to something about Misha's fugly sweater. :P

[dauntperplexity.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's totally fine. I was wondering for a second where you found me. But yay for new friends!!!

LOL... I feel like I've been taking about either Misha's sweater or hair all day.

I think spending an entire day talking about Misha's sweater and hair is a good use of time. :P It is an important topic to study.

[dauntperplexity.livejournal.com]

Yes... yes it is. I can definitely think of worse ways to spend my time.
