Katy Perry Sweetness

My sister (Mims) our friend/model Unicorn and I went to Katy Perry at ESA on Pioneer Day, a sweet state holiday courtesy of Utah.

We had discussed, months ago, getting some pin-up girl get ups and going to the concert all dressed up delicious like, but being the procrastinators we are, we all ended up buying hoochie dresses the day of.

IMPORTANT: Dressing up/hype is awesome. It should be embraced with love.

We ended up being overdressed, since most of the people we saw dressed up looked more like Snookie than Katy Perry.

IMPORTANT: Just coz it fits, doesnt mean you should wear it ;)

As a complete show it was great. There was a story theme that ran throughout the whole show, which consisted of her looking for her kitty, climbing through a vent in her wall, then coming out in candyland and going to a ball to see the baker’s boy.

The candyland theme and colors ran throughout the show, it was cheesy, poppy and fun.

What surprised me? She could SING! I expected her to be flat, pitchy, not as good, but I was pleasantly surprised.

HIGHLIGHTS:

·         The randomness of her eating a pot brownie and getting all wasted as part of her “ACT”

·         The cartoon video montage of cheesy love playing in the back during “Not Like the Movies”

·         The ridiculously huge beachballs, large amounts of confetti and foam spray she went nuts at the crowd with during “California Gurls”, now if only Snoop had come out dressed as a Gummi Bear it would have made my life!

·         Acoustic cover of Rhianna’s “Only Girl in the World” Rebecca Black’s Friday and Jay Z’s “Big Pimpin” were awesome as was the cover of Whitney Houstons “Dance With Somebody”

RECOMMEND THIS ? For Sure. This is a perfect GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

RATING: a bag of blow pops

Post Secret Hilarity

I often look at postsecret.com, I think it's a pretty cool concept and the individual creativity makes it even more awesome. People make postcards about their "secrets" and they are randomly posted on this site.

Anyway, I came across the below post card secret and could not stop laughing .. why ?

Take a look.

I cracked up about this for AGES!

People are awesome.



Harry Potter - The End :(

I saw the final Harry Potter over the weekend, tear.

I remember the first time I read a Harry Potter book. I was visiting my friend at the beach for the weekend and decided I wanted something to read while I got my tan on, and picked up her little brothers book, which just happened to be the Chamber of Secrets. I wasn’t looking for much, something mindless to read for a few hours, but was quickly drawn in. I ended up reading the whole book that day, and was hooked!

I was a little bit apprehensive going to see the movie so soon, I knew it would be the end, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for it yet. Alas, I had to do it, I hate reviews (weird huh?) and wanted to see it before I was tempted to ask anyone I knew what their thoughts on the movie were.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 was all I hoped it would be.
I cried when Severus Snape died, and got choked up when he told Harry to take his tears. The way the film makers imagined his memories of Harry’s mum, so heartbreaking.

I wanted to slap Bellatrix Lestrange more than a couple of times, and cheered when Mama Weasley called her a biarch and gave her what’s up.

I was proud of Neville Longbottom, for his strength and his growth. I cheered along with the rest of the audience at the cinema for his big moment, I almost stood up and jumped at the screen to give him a high five!

There is so much to love in this movie, and after 10 years, it’s some pretty nice closure.

Yup, I’m a big geek, Harry Potter is awesome! See it, read it, love it!

Elevator Etiquette

Oh this is thrilling subject matter for me. I'm a big fan of my physical personal space, and one thing that drives me nuts is someone invading my personal space. If your standing close enough to me that I can smell your breath, you're too close.

 

I work on the fourth floor of an office building, as discussed here and we have the slowest elevator ever invented. Seriously, it's faster to walk up the stairs - I'm too lazy for that.

The IIWW really have some champion idea's on what is "approved behaviour" on an elevator.

Listed below are some excellent guidelines that if implemented, will prevent you from looking like an elevator tool.

1. Hit the elevator button - Up or down people, UP or DOWN. The amount of times I've walked up to the elevator and people are standing their waiting because they have forgotten to hit the up or down button makes this worth mentioning.
2. Before you enter, let them exit - You should always let the people on the elevator exit, before you get on. You're a tool if you walk on the minute the doors open, without checking if people are getting off.
3. Hit your floor – When you enter the elevator, look to the numbers to be sure to hit the button for your floor. Nothing worse than riding the elevator for fun because you forgot to hit your floor number.
4. Find a space - Once you’ve entered the elevator and selected the correct floor, it’s important to do a quick survey of your surroundings. Look at how people are spaced, look for a gap and step into it. If you walk onto the elevator with 4 people, hit the corners, it's only right. Find a balance, spatial recognition, quadrant separation. IMPORTANT: Do not stand directly in front of someone when there is space enough for you to stand in a corner, side, front etc. it’s annoying, and I want to push you over.
5. If elevator is full - Back to Front - In an overcrowded elevator, standing face to face with someone is far too personal, so don't do. Once, someone stood in the elevator face to face with me, the elevator jerked and I almost got a nasty kiss. Gross.
6. Exiting the elevator – Make way for people who need to get off before arriving at your floor by a simple shuffle to the left or right. No need to crane your head and stare at them nosey parkers, keep it simple.

IMPORTANT DON'T TIPS TO PREVENT ELEVATOR TRAVEL DOUCHERY:

• Don't talk on your phone obnoxiously loud while travelling on an elevator. Do you know why can't hear the person on the other end of your line? The reception ALWAYS sucks in an elevator, so call them back.
• Don't try to engage in conversation with randoms. It's a 20 second ride, why waste the energy? Save it for when you get to your floor, I'm sure you'll need it for that morning smile.
• Better still, don't engage in conversations with random co-workers. In a special ride up the elevator one morning, an IIWW entered the elevator, said hello, something about it being early which was acknowledged with head shakes and agreement. Right before he exited the elevator his exact comments were " I can't stand Obama" the walked off. What.The.Hell.

I'm sure there are other things you could add to this to have complete Elevatory Etiquette Compliance, but these are tips for you, when you ride an elevator with my and my illogical logic.

Divergent - Veronica Roth

dys.to.pia noun \(ˌ)dis-ˈtō-pē-ə\

1. An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from deprivation, oppression, or terror.

I read this book Saturday night on a recommendation from the hubbies work friend.

My usual manner in selecting books is to see read the title, look at the cost, and finally but not necessarily important, I look at the cover.

In recent weeks, thanks to my friend Abs, I've started taking into account the review stars.

Anything less than a 4 star gets ignored.

So it was with Divergent.

248 customer reviews on Amazon with an overall ranking of 4.5 stars (this was not a FREE book, or a 99c book )

This book is written in first person prose, similar to Hunger Games, it's direct, often harsh and exactly the way I like it.

It's written from the perspective of a 16 year old girl in a world where, at that same age, you have to make a choice that affects your entire future.

She has to choose the faction she will live with for the rest of her life, without truly knowing what her life will become. Choosing a faction that is different to the one you are from, will alienate you from your family, as the motto everyone lives by is "faction before family".

There are 5 factions to choose from, based on specific virtues each individual decides will be their guidance in life.

Abnegation - Selfless

Candor - Honesty

Erudite - Knowledge

Amity - Harmony

Dauntless - Fearless

This is book one in the dystopian triology Divergent.

There is violence, death, espionage, treason, self discovery, mind trickery, all the gritty things you need to read about in a day.

RECOMMENDATION: Read it, love it.

RATING: Four cupcakes, delish.

Chubb-a-lubb

This is my fatty boom sticks measure. On days when I feel like a lard, I'm going to feel watermelon-ey. On days I feel skinny, I'll be a banana, pure genius!

Boogery

Why does Utah give you the most boogey's ever ?

Annoying.

Catching Set Fire To The Rain

Catching Fire is book two in the Hunger Games trilogy.

Its an awesome book, read it.

I'm not writing a review on it, but I'm going to point out some valuable life lessons you can learn from reading this book.

• Just when you think life can't get any worse, it does
• If you don't want to deal with life, get drunk and throw up
• Kill or be killed

These are also valuable lessons you learn in any action movie, but from a book narrated by a 17 year old girl, it's intense.

Read this, pure genius!

Chicken Chips + Me = FATTY

My mum got here from New Zealand over the weekend bringing delicious chicken chips for me.
I ate two packets, in one sitting. Two packets have like 8 servings, so I had 16 servings, fatty fat fat.
I'm going to be nice and round eating all this goodness mum brought over. I should probably say pleasantly plump, it sounds better.
I'm going to have a peach body. It's my bottom level of obesity, on my obesity meter. Time to go to the gym so I don't hit the next level up.

More than meets the eye

Went to see Transformers Dark of the Moon this evening and I must say, I was surprisingly impressed.

This one had a far better story line then the second Transformers, and Rosie Huntington Whitely (Carly) is a sexy lady. About on par with Megan Fox with her acting abilities, but who cares ?
She's not in it to act, she's in it to look sexy, so right on.

Sam Witwicky is consistant. I'm a Shia LaBeouf fan. He's really good at looking pained, being intense and crying.
Kind of like a couple of my brothers Surt and Turt ;)

Patrick Demsey was the bad guy, I didn't even know he was in the movie, and I really liked him in this. It's a nice change from the roles he usually fills, add convincing submissive psycho to your list of can do's buddy!

The Witwicky parents are funny, their random lines are hilarious and their matching outfits are champion. Get on that mum and dad!

My favourite in this movie is Optimus Prime. *SPOILER ALERT*
It's sweet how he get's all "KILL EVERYONE" on the deceptacons and busts a mortal kombat fatality on Megatron. Killing spree's will stop any retaliation from the enemy.

I also think Optimus Prime should be the President. He goes on and on about freedom and defending the planet, I would follow him to war for sure.

RECOMMENDATION: Go see it!
RATING: Large Popcorn, double butter and salt, and a large coke.
