Juicebox's new beau

Hey Everyone,
It's me again (in case you forgot it's Esther). So I have multiple movie reviews and I have come to the happy conclusion that entertainment and intelligence can go hand in hand. So perhaps Satan is not present everywhere in hollywood as I originally thought. So this weekend I was a tad lonely so I watched "30 days of night"-a wonderful vampire movie where vampires are back to being scary and they have their own language. The protagonist's name is Eben which is the strangest name I've heard. In addition, Josh Hartnett is in it but he dies in a very poetic way. Actually it was one of the best death scenes in a vampire movie I've ever seen. (sorry people but I doubt my readers watch vampire movies). Okay, then with much trepidation I saw the new Guy Ritchie movie (which isn't that new anymore since it's on DVD) called "RockNRolla." It was absolutely and positively incredible. I now am back to my belief that Mr. Ritchie just might be the cleverest director in terms of dialogue in hollywood today. This adds to my assumption that if you are depressed or single you are at your peak artistically. (He broke up with Madonna if you live under a rock or you have a life) Alright and today's movie was "Pandorum." It was nothing like I expected but in a good way. It is one of those movies that really makes you think just how dangerous our minds are and what would happen if our nightmares came to life. Wow-that was a long movie review but hey I just couldn't stop until I found a bad movie...I guess I'll have to see a chick flick.
Now why was I alone this weekend? Well, Juicebox went on a fun filled weekend to Catalina Island because he has a new boyfriend-Eduardo. Yes it is still the stripper. Juicebox has been going to his club every day for the past couple of weeks. This has been incredibly annoying because he keeps taking one dollar bills from my purse. (I didn't want to ask where he sticks them). And during the day they go wakeboarding at the beach. So in other words they've been inseperable. And Juicebox jumped up and down when Eduardo asked him to go to Catalina with him. I tried to remind Juicebox of his fear of boats (He doesn't get seasick, he's just afraid of being hit by an iceberg) but he's bringing a black blindfold and his IPOD shuffle filled with Bon Jovi. Don't worry he survived, he texted me. He was in the middle of his third peach iced tea. Now I know what you are all thinking, I made sure Juicebox will be safe in all departments. His suitcase is completely full with a first aid kit and clothes for every occasion, even snow. He also brought a hula skirt because there is going to be a hula competition tomorrow for all the marsupials. He's not competing but Eduardo is and he wants to support him-isn't that darling. Well I must go. Now that Juicebox is gone, I might actually get something accomplished...or watch another movie-lol.

Tarantino and Juicebox's new club

Hey out there everyone, it's me again. I always complain that people don't post enough and then I realized I haven't posted in over a month so I'll keep my mouth zipped (maybe not because I don't have a zipper aside from on my pants).
I am pretty pepped up right now. I just came from seeing "Inglourious Basterds." (I know what a weird spelling) And let me tell you it was wonderful with a capital W. I mean who doesn't love to see Americans scalping Nazis? (jk) I wanted to see this movie opening day but that was during my cold when I began hallucinating so I probably would've seen monkeys in the theatre or something. But while I was in bed coughing and doing other things, I watched interview after interview with Tarantino. (Let me tell you he has a huge ego with a capital E which leads me to believe he is compensating with something) After watching them though I enjoyed the movie and understood it alot better. I think if I ever see another Tarantino movie, I'll watch one of his interviews beforehand bc I generally don't like his stuff (sorry if there are any fans out there). One last thing I will say about the movie and then I'll get to Juicebox is there was Italian in the movie (by Brad Pitt no less-rather comical) and I didn't have to read the subtitles so as much as it pains me to say it-Tringali actually might be a good teacher (might being the operative word)-Does this mean I'm bilingual?
Alrighty roo-Juicebox did not go to the movies with me. It's not due to the "No Koalas" policy in Santa Barbara-I could easily smuggle him into my purse. He prefers chick flicks and he didn't like the title. He would've gone if it were called "Inglourious Illegitimate Men" to be politically correct. Instead he roamed State Street and found a Marsupial disco. And tonight they were serving Peach Smoothies for free because a kangaroo was having a bachelorette party. Juicebox thoroughly enjoyed it. Not only did they play "Elton John" and "Culture Club"(his favorite bands) but the party hired a Koala stripper. Apparently Juicebox was impressed by what he saw (I didn't ask him to go into details as much as he wanted to) because he gave the Koala his phone number....well actually my phone number bc Juicebox doesn't have a phone (that'll be another blog). He's been patiently waiting by the phone. We only got back twenty minutes ago so I'm sure it'll ring any second. I'll blog later to tell you what happens (hopefully it won't be a month).
I really should go to keep his mind off of the phone. He loves playing Monopoly, so we'll probably play that. I'll even let him be the thimble. See y'all later!
