Watch Tron: Legacy?
Trying a little too hard there, Disney? Tron: Legacy was kind of a disappointment. I guess I was expecting too much, but I came out of the theater a little upset that I had paid $19 to watch it in IMAX.

My 5 Favorite Albums of 2010
Now I realize everyone’s releasing the top albums of 2010 and mine isn’t really that much different from theirs. BUT doesn’t that kind of prove the greatness of these artists and albums?

Vultures
Yesterday, the company I work for made a huuuuge mistake. It was a technicality that pretty much left our store barren and looking pretty darn pathetic. It may sound like a teeny error when written about here, but trust me, it was huge. Our store is closing and, yesterday, it became 75% off everything for sale in the store. That included games, wireless accessories, game console accessories and movies. Except… it wasn’t for movies. Someone coded the computers t0 allow them to register all the new movies for 75% off. Imagine getting a TV box set that was originally $40 for $10. Not too shabby. Some movies ended up being $1.65. We were packed. The busiest we’d been in three years. BUT…

Finally Feeling Like Christmas
Yesterday was a pretty intense day. My mom and I decided to brave the warzones that are Costco and Walmart. Costco was PACKED and people were fighting over samples and who was where in the checkout line. It was ridiculous BUT I did get to pick up a sweet gingerbread house making kit for $10. Win.
Went to my friend Lisa’s house where we made the sick gingerbread house, hung out, exchanged gifts and played Rock Band. Solid night with some awesome friends.
Check out the house:

Watch? Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps
Wanna watch Wall Street 2? Hmm…
I was kinda iffy about this movie when I picked it out and I’m still unsure as to whether or not I like it. As usual, I’ve picked out my favorite parts of the film and what I hated about it. Check it out:

The Night I Met Mark Salling
Not only proudly wearing a badge that says Social Media for the first time, but I also got to meet Mark Salling, star of “Glee.” Felt very, very L.A. and got to meet a lot of beautiful, L.A. people.
Yeah, I pretended to be cool and act like I party with celebs every day. No biggie.
More photos…

Page Turner: Somewhere Inside
While writing my exams, I was pretty engrossed this book by Lisa and Laura Ling. While a lotta criticism has surrounded it, which I reeeeally don’t want to get into and don’t really care about, I found the book pretty damn interesting. I’ve always been a fan of Lisa Ling’s work, mainly because she knows full well that the pursuit of a story may put her in danger and may anger some pretty powerful people, but she continues to attempt to give people a voice who may not be given a chance to speak otherwise. Whether the voice she gives them is beneficial or detrimental is debateable; however, the fact that she makes their situation visible is able to spark debate, interest and even aid if they need it which is commendable in itself.
That being said, while I have a few criticisms, I found the book strangely enlightening.
