The Spete Blog

...or in this case, blog. Hey, so, guess what? I am terrible at blogging! Guess what Part 2? NaNoWriMo is about to start! Coincidence that I'm suddenly updating my blog???? I think not. Yeah! So, October's been real. Real awesome~ I really don't want November to start. November 2nd is supposed to be the first snow of the season, and I'm still fully embracing fall. Snow, I'm not ready for you. Go away.  Anyway, October. Lots of apple eating and picking, lovely fall colors, beautiful weather, good times.... Apparently that's all I have to say about October. That and PLEASE DON'T EVER END . Now that I've been living in Maine for a year and ten months, I'm a lot less homesick than I used to be. I no longer get outraged when people blatantly disregard right-of-way when making left hand turns (that's not true, I still get outraged, I've just come to expect it). I can say "bee-arh" and "lob-stah" like the best of them...

this is a post about cats. this one has a pug and a kitten, obviously it is superior here is another the end.

Oh yes, I ended with She's the Man . A great movie. #19 was Serenity , a lovely movie that continues Firefly . #20 is Sense and Sensibility! Genres:  Based off Book, Feelings, Romance So, yes, I love Jane Austen. I'm feeling way too lazy to find some awesome internet gifs, so that'll be skipped this time around. Best parts about this movie? Fanny Dashwood. Amazingly awful. She doesn't like the smell of books. who doesn't like the smell of books Hugh Grant? Bumbling at his best. Margaret Dashwood... in love with an atlas. Alan Rickman....being Alan Rickman. A fine film! Which reminds me: ARE YOU IN A JANE AUSTEN NOVEL?? you'd better find out.

Hmmm where did I leave off??? I don't remember. I guess I've watched some movies? Maybe? Yes. Spirited Away Sleeping Beauty Sherlock Holmes Sherlock Holmes Game of Shadows Today we will be discussing Movie #18, one of the greatest Shakespearian adaptations of the modern age,   She's the Man   Genres: Amanda Bynes, Based off Book, Makeover Montage This movie retells the enduring classic, Twelfth Night with a modern twist! Viola and Sebastian have a 100% crazy mother who seems to spend all her time at home obsessing about her daughter becoming a lady   Viola's girl's soccer team gets cut, so she decides that while her musical bro Sebastian is touring in London, she'll take his place at Illyria High School, posing as a young lad. Her roommate is the super hot Channing Tatum, who spends most of his time with his shirt off? Or maybe I just imagine that he does. Hard to say. He is a hunky, classy dude in this film, very class...

Heyooo so today I watched my favorite movie! But before we get to that, quick update on movies I've watched since my Superman adventure. #10: Superman II   (same genres as Superman) I was drunk when I rewatched this and fell asleep halfway through, but it still counts. #11: Stardust  Genres: Fantasy, Based off Book, Romance Ok, so I do actually love this movie-- and the book!-- and I considered making the fourth genre Fancy Hair, but decided that was ridiculous #12: The Sting  Genres: Bromance, Shenanigans, Happiness I adore The Sting. Introduced to me by my father, this movie is great. First time I watched it, I thought that the SPOILERPERSON actually SPOILERDIED so that was exciting Movie #13 Star Trek!!!!   Genres: Remake, Bromance, Friendship=Magic Soooooooooooo for whatever reason, this is my favorite movie of all time. I find that fact super perplexing; like.... why???? Why is this movie my favorite??? I hadn'...

This episode has been brought to you by a bottle of Riesling So, movie #8 was Sydney White No need to worry, I brought it Genres: Some Geekery, Amanda Bynes, Fairytale Highlights: Amanda Bynes not crazy all the sneaky geekery references awkwardly based off Snow White Lowlights: They could've made her SUCH a geek her hair. the whole movie. There is something off about it. I mean, this movie is ok. Also, why is Amanda Bynes a genre? Mysterious. I sort of zoned out while watching this and read webcomics instead. Still, it's cute. anyway, onto tonight's main attraction (attractive man whaaaaat) SUPERMAN   Genres: Superhero, Action, Fangirl ...does the Fangirl genre count if I'm the only fangirl? yes. So, this is the story of Kal-El, who was sent to earth as a wee babe because his native home of Krypton was about to BLOW THE HECK UP. He is adopted by a possible Minnesotan (Jonathan Kent, I'm l...

THOR. So I actually love this movie. Genres: Superhero, Fancy Hair, Possible Minnesotan Ok, fine I'm totally making up genres. But seriously. There might be a Minnesotan in it. I like to believe that Erik Selvig began his life in Minnesota, perhaps growing up in a rural Swedish community out in the plains, and did his undergrad, masters and maybe one of his doctorates at the University of Minnesota. LET ME HAVE MY DREAMS. Highlights: Chris Hemsworth is a magical god of thunder Asgard! So pretty! Natalie Portman being a boss Thor is such a jerk! Lowlights: It's basically a story about a jerk learning how to become slightly less of a jerk umm... not enough of Thor saying silly things Like I mentioned, I love this movie.  True fact, I am not a Loki fan. I mean, he's alright, but why do they keep on making his hair sillier in every movie? Why doesn't he have access to a decent hairdresser? I mean, there must be SOME...
