It's been a very long time

Hello out there in cyberspace or whatever space you are in! I know you haven't heard from me in a while so I thought I'd let you know everything that's going on. So I am still alive. So is Juicebox. He has his own spot now. He sits on a couch and has so many jungle pals he's going nuts. He also sits near a computer too but like I said he can't type so he always complains it's mocking him.
He hasn't had any parties just yet. He keeps trying to go sunbathing but I keep telling him you can't sunbathe without the sun. He also had a little bit of an anxiety attack when he saw the leaves changing color. He thought the world was ending. He ran around in circles screaming. It's okay though, I calmed him down, gave him a bag to breathe into. I also put on HGTV (I left the room) and now he's as happy as a koala can be in New Jersey. He even has an endless supply of Peach Iced Tea.
Let's see....I'm also happy here typing away in a library surrounded by Tennyson, Dickenson, and Stephen King. I've been sending out resumes all around New England even the places with dark alleys (just kidding). I actually just finished sending out a slough of them. So fingers crossed everyone!
As far as movies go, it's been a long time and I don't want you to read an endless blog about movies because hey that's what Roger Ebert is for. Instead, I'll just talk about the last three that I saw briefly. I'll start with the best: Scott Pilgrim Versus the World. Yes, I know false advertising, he does not actually face the WHOLE world just a couple evil exes but still it was good and now I can officially say I'm a fan of Michael Cera and Jason Schwartzmann (Yes they were in the movie, that was not just a random comment). I always appreciate when these indie films try to mix mediums where you look and go "huh, that's different." This one made the movie look like a comic book which was nifty.
Next "Morning Glory." Quite different from Scott Pilgrim, it was basically Devil Wears Prada with a Morning Show. I don't want to give anything away (alright she doesn't get run over by a train) but Diane Keaton raps and Harrison Ford says "fluffy." Got ya interested right? It was very cute and yes, a chick flick so now I can say I like a chick flick-I can die happy.
The last one was still good and it was called "Due Date." No, it had nothing to do with a school history report being due. It was all about a father driving to L.A. for his wife's birth with a very annoying roadtrip mate to ride with him. I don't really know what to say other than that about this movie. If you're a Robert Downey Jr. fan see it or if you just like goofy comedy see it. I personally cannot resist a movie with a pug...unless they're talking because that's just creepy.
Well that's all for now. Other than that, I'm still into my creepy, spooky phase with reading and television. I just finished watching "The Vampire Diaries." All I can say is poor Damon. I actually like it better than "Twilight" although that's not saying much because I didn't like those books or movies that much to begin with. And I'm kinda obsessed with "The devil in the White City." I know it's been out a while but I get into things after other people. It's a great book if you're into serial killers or if you like Chicago.
Gotta go, I think I'll pick up a book here and read-what a concept? Reading in a library? Well, I've really gotta go now. Hope all is well with everyone out there with all your fabulous lives!
