A Day With The Bestie

Today was a very good day. I didn't think I would post another entry today, but it was too nice not to. I had planned a nice day with my best friend Jen, and although we couldn't do everything, it was a very successful day.

First, we headed to a community college because Jen was thinking about going to school again. Since she had never been, we decided we'd take a trip to get all the information we could. I knew the campus because back in early high school I spent two years of my summer life there doing Summerstage/Mainstage (a theatre program kids-young adults). I remember being in Mary Poppins, but I can't remember the other children's show I was in for Summerstage. Then at night (since I was old enough to do Mainstage) I did Footloose and Little Shop of Horrors. Great shows! :) I loved being in them and I loved the people I met there. I just didn't know how to drive there since the last time I was there I wasn't old enough to drive.

We got lost on the way there (as I do for everywhere I go), but it was an adventure! We got there and it was another adventure since the building for the registration had so many hallways and doors. Jen said it seemed like it could be a setting for the Slenderman game. So we looked for papers on our way out.

We went back to her house for a little bit and ate lunch before we went to the movies. We didn't have enough time to go wine tasting and honestly I didn't have enough gas in my car to do that anyway. In that time she got me hooked on Kitchen Nightmares (with chef Gordon Ramsey) just by showing me one episode. Any fan of that show will know which one: Amy's Baking Company. Hooooooolyyyyyy shhhhhhhoes! That lady is crazy! After that we spent time researching the drama that happened after the show and the reviewer (or "hater") that started the "problem." It was much entertaining and I will be showing my mom that episode on Friday.

We started on our way to the movies to see Star Trek Into Darkness. AMAZING MOVIE. Noel Clark made an appearance that I was unaware of until yesterday. He played Rose's boyfriend Mickey in Doctor Who. And of course! The talented Benedict Cumberbatch was Khan. Now, for those of you who don't know, Mr. Cumberbatch is Sherlock in BBC's Sherlock. If you haven't seen it stop reading this blog instantly and watch it on Netflix! His voice will draw you in. I am planning on seeing it a second time. I won't write about the content of the movie just because I don't want to give anything away. It is a must see movie!

Now, I have to be at work at 3:45am. So it is time for me to say goodnight. Before I go, though, a few questions to reflect on: What is the movie you want to see this summer? What do you and your friends like to do on your days off? What TV show is your guilty pleasure and why?

Live long and prosper. -K

The last one gets me everytime.

Jumping Back In!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! WOW! I have neglected this. I'm so sorry! I got a new job and between that, school, joining a gym, and many other things I have been too busy to update! Now it's summer and I really want to write again. Please forgive me for being so sporadic!

Hm...Let's see. Well, I completed my first semester at my university. I ended up with a 3.65 gpa. Not bad, right? I am currently being looked at for a promotion at my current job (I started working here in January). My relationship hit a bump in the road, but we backed up and drove around. Right now, I'm going to say life is really good. Just wish I had more money, but then again, who doesn't?

One of my professors seemed to enjoy my writing and told me to keep up with it. I guess that is what I'll do seeing as I'm majoring in Writing Arts. It's what I have to do! I am also keeping up on reading. I just finished "Emma" by Jane Austen and am almost done "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens. I hope to have finished it by the end of May. I am right on track!

I got a puppy during Spring Break! He's half Chocolate Lab and half Australian Cattle Dog. He's still a puppy and pretty big, so he's going to be MASSIVE! <3 We named him Ganon (yes, after the Legend of Zelda Ganon). He's so adorable and very friendly. Too friendly that sometimes he scratches when he doesn't mean it because he wants to play and be loved.

Doctor Who just ended so I don't have anything to really sit down and watch on Saturday nights anymore. Season 3 of Game of Thrones is almost over and I haven't caught up yet. I don't know what to do with watching TV Series, so I downloaded 7 books onto my Kindle to read when I'm done my summer reading list. So far I have on that list (after Dickens): Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Game of Thrones series, Percy Jackson series, one Stephen King book (suggestions are open), Fight Club, and Beautiful Creatures series. Not sure if I will get them all done, but I don't really do much during the summer anyway. Last summer I read the whole Harry Potter series along with 4 other books. And, like I said, all my TV shows are pretty much over until October/November. I would, however, like to do a couple of adventurous things during the summer: Go to Six Flags (I miss that place!), go to the Renaissance Faire (Time Traveler's weekend, baby!), and take a day trip to Baltimore when Otakon is happening (so I can just enjoy the cosplays without buying an overpriced ticket for a weekend I may or may not overall enjoy).

I will keep this short and sweet. What is your summer to do list? What about your summer reading list? Do you have a blog I could follow so I can see what books to put on my "To Read List?" And lastly, would you read a book review blog if I created one?

Stay classy, internet.

Because there's a Doctor Who quote for everything.
