Merry Christmas to All

And to all a good night!

So, as far as holidays go, Christmas is one of my absolute favorites. Its a time of family, friends, and the spiritual awareness of Jesus Christ's birth...oh, yeah. And Hollywood Theaters.

Yes, my amazing holiday was surrounded by WORK and POPCORN and LITTLE KIDS WHO THROW UP IN THE LOBBY!!!!!

But still, it was a good holiday none the less. I managed to survive my shift only to go home and spend time with my family. We ate more than we should, we played on the Wii (which I got for Christmas!!!!!), and we enjoyed each other's company.

I know this post is not only late but very short, but I promise to write again with a truly awkward story where I was mortified in public. For now, happy holidays, and (if I don't get a chance to say it before then) happy new year.

Shopping and Jazz

Well guys, out of total guilt for my Cloverfield ranting, I am writing you today a bland, boring, normal post....

Out of sheer boredom this week, I decided to go see our high school jazz band perform at the mall. I mean, band is ok, but because I play flute (and I'm not "jazzy" enough AS a flute) I can't be in jazz band. And jazz band, well, is so much more fun than regular old band. They play fun music, they joke around, they do all kinds of shows...you get the point.

Anyways, I decided to go to the mall to watch their Christmas performance and, while standing in the crowd (which was convieniently placed in front of Hollister, with all the snobby jr high kids gawking at us instead of asking us to move) with some other kids from school, I was tapped on the shoulder by a bystander.

Now, before I go on, there are two things in this world I am deathly afraid of: jellyfish (completely understandable, right?) and mistletoe. Both of these items contribute to terribly painful childhood memories, moreso the mistletoe and how it was convienently over me and my friend in 2nd grade at my dad's company Christmas party...I didn't quite understand that concept (the whole kissing thing) that early on, so when _____ tried to kiss me, I turned my head sharply and hit the wall...and broke my nose....

Anyways, mistletoe and I don't get along very well, and for the past ten years I have done very well to avoid it. Until the jazz concert...Ok. First off. What mall even PUTS mistletoe up??? Thats ridiculous, I mean truly....and of course, I am the person to get put under it out of the whole crowd...darn this bad luck./

But needless to say, I was standing under the mistletoe with Ryan (my best friend) and he leaned in to give me a peck....and...I was not ready...and....well it was just awkward. Thankfully, nobody's nose was broken...but I was completely mortified. People were laughing at me in the middle of the mall, and Ryan was about to explode from the laughter.

Come to think of it, it was really funny. But that mistletoe fear of mine, yeah...not going away anytime soon. Haha. well that was entertaining, huh? I actually had a lot of new cloverfield stuff to talk about but I figured I'd spare Ben (since he's such a pansy). Anywho, leave comments!

TAGRUATO EVIL!



This video is number five of those on www.jamieandteddy.com. Watch and enjoy!

Edit:
Ok, so I know that neither one of you have followed this like I have, but I really am trying to get yall interested in it. Basically, its amazing. Tagruato makes Slusho! and TIDO Wave is trying to stop Tagruato...

With me? Tagruato captured Teddy (that bimbo's boyfriend)who was working with TIDO wave. No idea how that relates to the monster, but its an interesting plot...

Goodness, I need some LOST in my system...all of this monster ranting is tiring. But on that note, LOST SEASON THREE CAME OUT!!! Woot, I think I am going to buy it tomorrow!

SLUSHO! ZOOM








So this Cloverfield stuff has officially got me hooked.
I was on the computer the other day, when I noticed that all of my "Favorite"-ed Cloverfield sites said that a new viral site was discovered...my friends, after that fateful moment, all of my free time disappeared.

Anyways, school is school, work is work, life is life. But LOST comes on in February, Cloverfield in January, and there have been reports of LOST previews in certain movie theatre chains (although I am pretty certain that my chain isn't one of them). I guess after all of the craziness of having a movie theatre job, the perks are finally visable. All of this hype around cloverfield promotional posters and items, its great, but I am in a position to walk away with so much...I am going to get a poster (I've already made a deal with the projectionists) and hopefully we get tshirts or something good like that for my usage.
For now, with it still being over a month away, I am dealing with the standee. An eight foot tall, amazing cardboard creation dedicated to CLOVERFIELD and all of its glory.
I took pictures. In the lobby. Squealing and singing. People stared.

Its actually kind of funny. I was so excited to see that we got something as big as a standee for the movie; actually, we don't get many standees, so I was pumped that the hype for this movie has gotten us one. The pictures above (taken on my cell phone, mind you, so don't laugh) are of the standee. It was really exciting. In a fanboy kind of way...
Anywho, I'm ordering (or hoping to order) some slusho! gear for Christmas. I am buying myself a tshirt, but the hat isn't likely. For those of you who don't know, when you order slusho! gear, you get Tagruato memos, or japanese newspaper clips, or all kind of stuff. It really depends on the gimmick at that time. It's really just that, a gimmick, but one I'm willing to put money into.
Anywho, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to these sites....please...
