Pleasantville!

I've spent most of my day at school today and now I understand what people mean when they say they just want to go back to a simpler time.......like the 50s!!

For my film in the 50s class today we watched a short clip during class and then told that we had a showing of a film called Pleasantville later that day or the following day to discuss in class on Wednesday!! It was last minute and I'm happy that I had the time to do so today because I wouldn't tomorrow......

Now Pleasantville is a rather good movie. Its about two kids that get transported into this show called....you guessed it.....Pleasantville. And while there they introduce many new things. In this town holding hands was monumental and much like going steady. They believed that all the streets go in circles and books have no words in them.......and they know nothing about color. As you would guess these two kids being there start to disrupt their rather pleasant way of like and with it bringing color!! I won't let you know too much more.....other then that they make a rather interesting parody of  'coloreds - not allowed' a statement about the time I feel.

I personally love this movie and I hope that y'all will go check it out. But it does bring to mind a seeming simpler time and something I would love to go back to......to escape all the stress of current day to day life!

Thanks as always for reading <3

School School School!!

Tomorrow I start school at 11 am (oh so early for this night owl) with my Social Stratification and Social Systems class.....followed by a long break and Film & the 50s at 2 pm and last but not least Hip Hop at like 7:30 pm..........and I'm sooooo nervous!!!

I should of spent my day doing laundry and such so I have something killer and adorable to wear to school!! Or should of read the first part of my books......or done something to prepare myself for this time. Instead I'm sitting on my computer, playing Facebook games. Instead I went grocery shopping (much needed but still) and filled my house with food from couponing......

And now I feel sick! Tomorrow morning I'm gonna have to get ready!! And pack bags and snacks and figure out where my classes are.......I'm going to have to sit in classrooms for the first time in either four or five years and I'm scared. So I'm gonna go to bed.......and dream happy thoughts!!

Thanx as always for reading <3

Modeling: Sneak Peak to Fully Clothed Prize

My man stayed at his brothers last night, meaning I left the hospital with my family to come home to an empty bed. Which in turn led to no sleep and a terrible first Saturday at work (started my new schedule this week). So I'm just gonna give ya a sneak peak into my newest set to come......and some story behind it!!

We were just going for a Lazy Winter Day!! Laying around reading a book, painting my toe nails and having a cup of cocoa. And Classic Rock Photos caught it.......This particular picture caught me all caught up in the TV as I don't have television at home and tend to get stuck in it!! Drawn to it like a moth to a fly ^.^

Thanks as always for reading!!!

Day to Day: Books for School and the Hospital

I spent most......aka eight hours.....at the hospital today for my sister's arm surgery. She had put her arm through a glass window and had severed a nerve some tendons and so forth. They put it all back together and other then a numb top of the hand for the next year she'll have minor repurcussions......

But seeing as thats what I've been doing all day I thought I would just do a quick blog here about my day and then take my tired butt to bed.....

Before arriving at the hospital at 12:30pm I managed to get up to the college to buy my books and such for school (that starts Monday!!). I got all my books and other things that I might need for school as well with the exception of notebooks, I'll grab a couple Monday. And wanted to just leave ya with a couple pictures of what I picked up.......

My Sociology Book, Accounting Book and 3 folders!!

My Films in the 50's Book/Workbook, Calendar Board, Pencils,
Sharpies, Highlighters, Stapler and Staples!!

So yeah.......thats what I bought today and.....my super short and not all that important blog entry!! But hey, I did one. And that Calendar Board up there ^^^^ You'll be seeing more of it later this weekend once its filled out!!

As always thanx for reading!!

Book Review: Noise by Darin Bradley

'In the aftermath of the switch from analog to digital TV, an anarchic movement known as Salvage hijacks the unused airwaves. Mixed in with the static's random noise are dire warnings of the imminent economis , political and social collapse of civilization - and cold-blooded lessons on how to survive the fall and prosper in the harsh new order that will inevitably arise from the ashes of the old.

Hiram and Levi are two young men, former Scouts and veterans of countless Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. Now, on the blood-drenched battlefields of university campuses, shopping malls and gated communities, they will find themselves taking on new identities and new moralities as they lead a ragtag band of hackers and misfits to an all-but-mythical place called Amaranth, where a fragile future waits to be born.'


That is what you read when you pick up Noise by Darin Bradley the first time, trying to get a feel for the book. But its nothing compared to what you find inside nor does it prepare you for just what your about to pick up. The story follows Hiram, and Levi by fault as his best friend, through the preparations for the Collapse, for the Event and as they execute their Event Exit Strategy. As they move from First Place to Second Place and finally to the Place, Amaranth. As they pick up Outsiders as Secondaries. And it pulls into question everything you've ever thought was 'right'!

One of the big things in this story is the Book. They all live by this book but the different groups within Salvage have different books. Its all about what they picked up from airwaves and what they wrote down. This book outlines that when the collapse happens you are to get to your Place with your Group and do whatever is necessary to do so. Nothing but your Place and your Group matter. But not before the Event because then you start with criminal acts and you don't go into this clean. So they wait untill the Event and they take what they need not steal and so forth. They use force to get what they need because laws don't matter anymore......

Its a really hard book to talk about because at times things are explained in such detail that you know everything thats going on down to the last detail and six sentences later everything you thought you knew has been torn to shreds. People are dead and you don't know how or they're out saving people that aren't part of their group. And next thing you know there is a flashback to his past, sometimes just middle of the sentence is from the past but the rest is present. Either way once you get use to the style its easy to read, you just end up reading small sections a couple times to make sure you got it. I would say its kinda like reading Chuck Palahniuk's stuff.

What really shook me about this book was its relevance though. It put me into the mind that if the Occupy Wall Street had been an underground operation as well as quite a bit less peaceful then this could be the world that we  would be living in. Or even still a world that we're heading towards now. That the collapse of things as we know them could lead to this very world. Where in order to survive your gonna need to find people and a place and just whole yourself up there and hope for the best. Where there will be people more willing then I to kill someone just to keep their place or their stuff. Or to kill to get more stuff. What struck me about this book is that this could really happen and its not just some fantasy.......a story.

Those are my thoughts on the book!! Hope you liked them!!

Thanks as always for reading <3
