All my puns are intended, David Blaine mind games status


Hi. I'm Kelly. Okay- play time!

So what do...


Pretty boy (Robert Pattinson from Twilight)
                              

And



Mr. P (G. Dubs from the Fill in blank presidency in American History)
                              


           ...have in common?


I'll just tell you since I'm mildly impatient.

  


Hahaha..umm the end for me and my ex Robert.


But! Cool things-


                

This is possibly my dream bed. Or one of my dream beds. The coolest part is that it retracts back into the ceiling. Tricky, I know. Although I could totally see it being an epic bed FAIL...



Story time! (always story time after play time, duh)

My dad is David Blaine because he plays mind tricks.
Instead of asking me weird SAT math questions on the fly (and I am well beyond taking the SAT ever again...), such as how much do I save in this car by going to this gas station compared to the gas station down the street in the other car including tax? Did I mention I had the graphing calculator removed from my brain when I was born? Hmm. Anyways, so he started making geographical references as to where he is, where I was, or where something else is located. I'm pretty good with directions, not so much with following them and am a horrible second guesser.

Mix this all together and when he tells me he is west or north, I suddenly have to tap into my mental Google maps and chant Never (north) Eat (east) Soggy (south) Waffles (west) over in my head. It never works. I end up staring at the coast and physically turn myself in some direction while mumbling soggy waffles aloud.

One day he asked me to pick him up in the building north of his office. I drove back and forth between two buildings that I thought were north of his office and of course...after the fifth time, drove to the wrong one. I said something about Norcal...and the west coast..and it being a long day when he wondered why I couldn't figure out where north was. My dad is David Blaine. Hence- the spoof dedicated to my fasha:








Off to night class- yay. Superb weekend with the older Two Hearts.



                                             peace, love and cold feet (figuratively speaking)

May I have a hall pass? Here's a Freudian slip.


So for tonight's viewing pleasure, T-ron and I are watching "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Chipmunk Adventure" on DVD at 1:30 in the morning. I'd like to say first-

Courtney= the girl Chipette with glasses, because she used to wear round spectacles
Quinn= Chipette chubs
Taryn= Alvin + Chipmunk chubs
Me= awesome girl Chipette and a bit of Simon, because he is smart and intuitive and insightful and super cool

                           

I've also decided that Simon is my long lost animated brother.

Simon: "Alvin, park the hot air balloon by the fountain."
Moments later they crash.
Simon: "Yes, just what I said, in the tree."

Aaah, jump out of the screen and be my sarcastic bff.


                                

T and I are watching one of our fav classic childhood movies because CK Cheesypoofs send it over via express for my birthday (huzzah). It seriously has all the elements of a great film: a demonstration of gender equality, spunky childhood youth, a cultural look of the world, family values, growth into maturity, animal rights, and of course a bomb ass soundtrack. Everyone could wake up a little brighter by listening to "Diamond Dolls" sung by the Chipettes.

I think the only creepy part that is eating away at me, is that all the voices of the Chipmunks and Chipettes are done by like one or two people. For some reason I always thought there were a bunch of cute kids doing the voices of these characters. Nuts. I guess no pun intended. So before I write a thesis on this movie... I'd like to appropriately tangent off into birthdays.


                         


When I was little, and sometimes when I feel particularly spacey, I'd argue with my mom that I had to wait the longest for my birthday since it was in November. Because- the year starts out in January and then anyone who has a January birthday gets like instant celebration with the new year, but I had to wait till almost the veryyy end of the year to celebrate mine. Yeah, I know. Sometimes I still get pumped on my argument and then I realize I have a brain now.

One time Quinn gave me this Pocahontas water game wrapped in washcloths for my 12th birthday. It was already mine from last Christmas.

One time I gave Quinn a laminated "Lifelong pass to never enter my room" for her birthday. I thought it was downright hilarious, apparently my mom thought otherwise.

                  
                                                      -obvi not mine bc it's not laminated...


And on an ending note- long finger nails on girls are like Swiss Army knives.



                           peace, love and spam (not the mail)

The Four Hearts: your fav anti-drug is back


Like the deserts missed the rain, like a week with no Friday, like warm water without ice cubes, like my ipod without headphones (I get so mad when I do that...), like Courtney without fart jokes...

...what was life without The Four Hearts blog?!

You:
                    
                                       
Me: Here Mr. Sad Pants! A blog entry!


Tada, all is right in the world. Hence:

                  


Well I know my life without the blog was pretty... still awesome, but now I feel puzzle piece whole again. I'm actually still quite disoriented because my dad changed the clocks for Daylight Savings last night around 11 pm and most of the clocks reset themselves at 2 am. So for the three hours between 11pm and 2 am, I became very skeptical of every clock I encountered in our house. "Are you telling me the right time..." I would say with discerning eyes and a furrowed eyebrow.

Now I look at my clock and just shake my head in disbelief. Did I mention I have three clocks stacked on top of each other on my desk and two of them don't even say the right time. Hmm. I have found where this problem has stemmed.


Sunday Daylight Savings story time
: Quinn had to be at her crew race at 5:30am and her alarm went off at 3:30 but her clock said 4:30am.

Quinn: Taryn! Is it 3:30 or 4:30?!
Taryn: .....what.
Quinn: Is it?! My phone says 3:30 but the clock says 4:30!
Taryn: .............Quinn...Google it.


And! The release of www.thefourhearts.com is going to be here faster than you can say stretchy white underpants.




                  peace, love and innies!

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Adieu My Dear Rockmeister...


The day has come. The world might end tomorrow. 

... I vow to give up energy drinks. farewell my beloved crack juice, my lightning jolt of energy, my juiced rockstar.. and the drink i'll miss the most: my precious rockmeister.

ROCKMEISTER=


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket


and when bartenders ask you, if monster or red bull is an adequate replacement ingredient for rockstar in this liquid candy cocktail... the answer is NO. hence, the name people.


for years now i've poo-pooed all the naysayers telling me that energy drinks, especially rockstar, are horrible for your health. a few days ago, i avoided opening the email from my mom (the first person to tell me not to drink them) with the subject reading: "NO MORE RED BULL - please read." i thought.. c'mon mom i don't drink red bull, only rockstar. this doesn't apply to meee.

but DEEP down i knew that inside it would explain to me how energy drinks can cause cancer or something, and i DEFINITELY didn't want to read that. ignorance is bliss. right?

and today, a marijuana and healthy diet/nutrition enthusiast (no, that's not an oxymoron) said they'd give up smoking, if i'd give up energy drinks. i certainly couldn't and wouldn't be responsible for that, but i got the point. 

so, as part of my effort to lead a healthier, more productive, and disciplined lifestyle... i opened the email.


Photobucket


UH OH. Reuters is definitely a reliable news source. i'm screwed. AND JUST ONE CAN?! what does it mean if at the peak of my love for rockstar, i was drinking one to three cans a day?!!

sigh. better quit sooner rather than later, i guess.


now i'll just have to order my other favorite drink at the bar: an 08... which is chocolate milk and jager. don't say EW 'til you've tried it!


moral of the day (and life): mom knows best.

'NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU' or how about 'HI-I-LOVE-EVERYONE-IN-THAT-MOVIE.'



Sooo just another youtube video of a movie trailer.. with just some cool people in it........
From memory, I think these are a few of the people who are playing just a few parts....

  • Some of my boyfriends:
  • Shia LaBeouf, Hayden Christensen, Orlando Bloom, Anton Yelchin, Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha
  • Some of my good friends I get coffee with:
  • Cloris Leachman, Blake Lively, Natalie Portman, Christina Ricci, Rachel Bilson, Maggie Q and Olivia Thirlby
(And hells yeah I get coffee with Cloris Leachman! Did you see her on Bog Saget's roast??! She's like my third grandma.)
  • Some people I have hearty cinematic conversations with:
  • Kevin Bacon, Ethan Hawke and James Caan
  • Some of my director/writer friends decided to help out:
  • Brett Ratner, Yvan Attal, Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Joshua Marston and Randall Balsmeyer

So I mightttt just see this? 'Paris, je t'aime' was you know, just another movie. No biggie. Paris is just Paris. I don't like to travel or anything. I don't like big cities or anything. Yeah. No biggie.




I wonder if I should show this movie clip to my dad? I'm thinking it'll help convince him that I should study in New York City next summer because...
a) he loves MIKA and "Love Today" will for sure be blasting on the loud speakers of New York as I bounce around the subways.

and I don't have a b)                   sooo....

Quinn: "Guys, don't leave me out in the blue!"


Sometimes I need a Quinn-tionary, sometimes I stare at Quinn in absolute bewilderment, and sometimes I just have to ask myself WWQD? I guess it's only a matter of time until the world gets to meet Quinn...

A few Quinnisms:
"Hey Kelly, guess what? I went to Vicky's and I got this great new b-ra!"
translation: "Hello my favorite sister, I went to Victoria's Secret and purchased a lovely new bra."

"Guys, don't leave me out in the blue!"
translation: "I'm Quinn and I get my colloquial sayings mixed up and I think that if blue is not a light color, then blue and dark must be synonymous."

And finally- Taryn has to have a gun, and by gun I mean super soaker, to her head for her to write a blog. I'm staring directly at her as she is FINALLY writing one. --"Kelly, go help Dad with dinner or else I won't write the blog."

...the things I do.

And what everyone is dying to know:
























                      I personally know Courtney will be the most stoked or stokest about this finding, especially with Reason 1. So check out the website I found it on, made me laugh for what it's worth? Yeaaaah know.

   What's your fav reason about going steady with a unicorn? Mine is the last one because when I was little I used to sit on the tetherball and fly around like I was Peter Pan. I think it was dangerous?
                    
        
                             peace, love and glitter

tarynnosaurus's Dating Advice on T-Rexs OR (Kelly Made Me Do It)

besides being repeatedly called out by my sisters for all the world to read, having them say "it's really the three hearts because you don't care" has finally touched a nerve. SOOO here's my contribution:


... the picture for reason 8 gave me chills: when i was 5 i woke up crying from a dream that a t-rex ripped off the roof of my house and ate my mom. NOT COOL. i also had a dream when i was 5 that i roller skated off a cliff... eh. that's another story.

'There's gonna be a heartache tonight'...after Taryn reads this blog


And oldie for some of you, but a goodie nonetheless:

            
                      ...I can almost hear the dance party music and see the carefree bust-a-moves. Happy trails exempt.


    Today I took out the trash and my face had a small rendezvous with a jumbo hornet. I immediately recalled abrupt halts to my childhood backyard playtime when a hornet would loom around our jungle gym. Those were usually the scariest things I had to worry about. Oh to be young again!


              :::::Your newest and favorite update::::

Courtney:
What is she...
bouncing around to- Does It Offend You, Yeah?/anything with a dancing beat
usually sporting- her faux bubble blowing/sketchy heart capsule chain necklace
exercising her brain with- some artsy fartsy business book from Barnes and Noble

Taryn:
What is she...
singing rather loudly to- Almost Lover (cover) by James Clarke
struttin' around in- something black or all black...
reading- Cosmopolitan does not count.

Kelly:
What is she...
jammin' to on her ipod- 'Hey Oh Tonight' by Norwegian Recycling (thanks Double d!)/old cd mixes from 8th grade
picking straight from her closet- her newest paint-on-tight skinny jeans
cozying up to with a cup of tea- My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D./A Wolf At the Table by Augusten Burroughs

Quinn:
What is she...
keeping on her Most Recently Played- new Miley Cyrus cd/Guitar Hero songs
adorning herself with- white flowy shirts and watermelon pink sweats
bookmarking and dog-earing- (suppose to be) Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky


     Off to help Quinn pick her outfit for the John Mayonnaise, as my mom calls him, (John Mayer) concert tonight because of course that takes precedence over my current re-arranging of Fall Quarter classes!

                  peace, eco-love and happiness!

Dear Kelly, I Want My N64 Back...

...so that I can play Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and most importantly Goldeneye again. Truth be told that only Alex can beat me in Mario Kart depending on how many glasses of wine have been consumed and only Paul can beat me in Goldeneye. Although, I have beaten him at least three times (which is a lot, bc he is the Goldeneye God). Other than that, I have played hundreds, and have annihilated all!!! MWAHAHHAAH. 

Now get amped for some hot 007 action and ball whackin, in Quantum of Solace, here's the trailer: 


Hope everyone had a stellar beer and bbq filled fourth of julio! Fishies inflatable pool + Coronas + bratwurst/bbq + smiley faced fireworks = my fourth of july!!

Radiohead + Aniboom Animation Contest...The Final 13!!

After Kelly wrote about poopfreeze, I got a link to this "PoopTube by Dr. Farhtz" video...suffice it to say, its not appropriate to post. And B to the dubs, I love Taryn's invisible blog post about the unnatural habits of mating rituals between Norwegian centaurs and Russian unicorns. You sure know how to write em. 

On to the goodies...I love, love, love short-animated films. These are shorts made to a different Radiohead song of their selection and they are absolutely beautiful. Go to myspace.com/radiohead to see more and rate your fave. Radiohead will select the winner themselves. 

P.S. Iz gots to see a special MySpace screening of the new Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy movie "Wanted." It was absolutely, insanely, edge-of-your-seat, THRILLING. Fun to watch, action packed, and at the end of more than a few action sequences people actually started clapping and everyone in the audience was like 'hoooooly sh******t.' Plus, James McAvoy hot and sweaty? Yes please. And Angelina Jolie, well, let's just say it's like Beowulf, but it ain't CG. I actually had fingernail marks in the palm of my hands afterwards bc it was so intense. Go see it. Friday. Ciao for now, gots to get my sleep in, excited for tomorrow, going to see Sunny Day Sets Fire at the LA Film Fest. Dance dance!

Something cool for everyone...pun status.

 

                             (he has prettier lashes than me)

There are hot afternoons like these when I wish I had a beard so that I could:
Step 1: Freeze my beard.
Step 2: Walk around with a frozen beard.
Step 3: Be cool literally and figuratively.

So on this particular hot day, as I do some work, I decided I would try to keep cool by listening to cool music, drinking cold lemon water, and googling cold pictures.

Subject A:
                      
I can't figure out if he is screaming because:
a) A pole is going thru his eye
b) The water is really boiling hot
c) Piranhas are biting his ankles

Or perhaps the water is so amazing that he is screaming with delight as he emerges from the cool, refreshing embrace of his Hugh Jass pool.


Subject B:
                     
My mom just walked by me. I have this huge desire to ask her for a Raspberry Creamsicle and an American flag bathing suit.


And definitely the best part of this hot afternoon is the discovery of Poopfreeze.

I sincerely hope this isn't a joke because I would love to get my hands on some Poopfreeze. Think of the possibilities...

1. Frozen poopball fights
2. Poopsicles
3. Real life superhero who freezes your neighborhood poop during the blankets of darkness.

New Bumpin' Summer Tune! And Kelly Vs. Taryn is ONNN....

So Taryn will probably try to kill me... buuut, good music should be shared, right? All I want to do is spread the love and love is music and therefore music should be spread. That is Kelly math for you, in case you were wondering.

Now before you listen to this juicy, catchy like a fish in a fish farm song- let me preface you with the fact that even Taryn was subconsciously singing this in the grocery store. While picking out her hipster Rockstar eight pack, she was bouncing up and down in her ultra skinny black jeans and American Apparel gray v-neck to the beat of 'i wanna take her on a shoppin' spreeee'...


And now! I shall share with you the new summer tune that should be blasting on your ghetto blaster and streaming from your ipods:

I bring you....


              

http://www.myspace.com/mann 

And promptly click on "Ghetto Girl" and make it your new fav. song of the sum sum!

Now go find Taryn and softly hum it in her ear and freak her out because you now know she openly listens to music other than indie and electrorock and Robot Love, and she blasts Jesse McCartney too.



.... yeah it's on, Taryn. Only a mild taste of the beginning. Now go do what Courtney and I told you to do!!!

 

             peace, love, and ghetto grlz

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett's new film of the 1922 short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." It looks like a beautiful movie and if you know the story, it'll be a heartwrenching one as well. Thanks to Cheryl for the heads up on the trailer and bkgd of the story. I found a link online if you'd like to read it in it's entirety (only 11 chapters of about a few paragraphs). The film was directed by David Fincher who also directed "Se7en" and "Fight Club." Below is the newly released trailer, enjoy

I Met The Walrus

If you didn't already know, I'm obsessed with short-animated films, and one day, will be nominated and hopefully win an Academy Award for Best Short-Animated Film. Me mum and I are watching the dvd "A Collection of 2007 Academy Award Nominated Short Films" both live action and animation. This year's line-up of shorts were beautifully done and innovative. I'll post the rest of the shorts in future blogs. 

First up, "I Met The Walrus" by Josh Raskin. Synopsis: "In 1969, fourteen-year-old Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room with his tape recorder and persuaded him to do an interview." I absolutely love the fluidity of the pen and ink animation and how the illustrations are merged with photo objects in a cut/paste 3D tangibility. Video is below, enjoy:




P.S. Sex and the City was faaaabulous! Heart-wrenching, fun, and a fitting tribute to the show. Not a huge fan of how one relationship turned out, but it's debatable and if you've talked about the movie with me, you already know Toodles!

Sex and the City: The Movie is FINALLY HERE!!! Yes, I will be one of those going with my chicas (not all my chicas, I wish the non-LA folk were here!!!), getting martinis before the movie, and sitting in line at The Grove chatting about love, life, and relationships... and what will happen btwn Carrie and Big... and how the whole saga will end. omg. Every show is sold out, the only one that isn't is the 12:40am one! 

Soooo in honor of the movie, here's the "Behind the Fashion" video clip for Sex and the City...LOVE IT:


Will give you the full scoop next blog! And have I mentioned yet how excited I am to see this movie? The only thing that will be missing tomorrow night are the stilettos, I just can't wait four hours on the sidewalk of The Grove in heels and a dress even after a few martinis. 

Peace, love, and the city xoxo
