Thursday 13 - The Last 13 Movies I've Seen

Tweet

This week is going by too fast, coño! I want to start the week all over again, please? I used to enjoy my weekends, lately I haven't been able to due to some inconsiderate people. I hope the situation will change soon con la ayuda de Dios. If you can send a few prayers my way it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm dying for the 70's temperatures to go away. Or at least the humidity. I've been sitting here with the fan pointing at me because of the humidity and now I have a sore throat. Time to get a bag of halls and a bottle of honey just in case.

So, did you know that Entrecard closed down? I went to the site and it wouldn't load, then I noticed that the widget isn't working. I googled it and sure enough they closed a few weeks ago. I had no idea. Apparently they didn't bother to let anyone know. I'm going to miss Entrecard. I found a lot of good blogs through them. It would be nice if someone else picks it up, but I doubt it. If anyone knows of a similar service, please let me know.

Feedburner is also closing as of next month! I found out through a post from Blogher. There was an announcement last year, but I had no idea until now. Again, no warning. Now to find another free service that will offer the same thing. Google is starting to annoy me with the closing of so many services. I mean, if you are going to take over a company and, then close it without caring about how many people depend on it, then why bother at all?!

Anyway, time for my meme. I used to do this meme when I started blogging, but lost track of it. Memes are always fun and they give you something to write about. My mind has been all over the place lately so I need all the help I can get! If you would like to participate follow the link at the end of this post or click on the image.

Happy Thursday!♥

Edited to add: I completely forgot to mention that these movies are streaming on Netflix. You see? My mind is all over the place! Out of the list, #13 is my favorite! Directed by Madonna. It was beautifully made. I'm planning on watching it again. Yes, I developed a girl crush for Wally Winthrop, beautiful...

2. Toast (2010) - 5 stars out of 5

She gets excited about getting the new books, school supplies and she was tired of being home everyday! My son however, his school starts next week and I'm not looking forward to the whole wake up, go to sleep, finish your homework routine. I want to pull my hair sometimes, lol. Plus I enjoy having them home, I know I might the only one though, lol.

1. Your thoughts on truck drivers?

I would like to learn how to drive one myself! Although it has to be hard for them to be away from their families.

2. Did you hear Michelle Duggar is pregnant for the 15th time? (but that will be kid #19 if you lost count....)

Ridiculous!

3. Have you ever done something to hurt someone intentionally... just for the sole purpose of hurting them because you thought they deserved it? Maybe a paybacks a bitch sort of thing?

Yes but nothing illegal or drastic. If you knew the person you would understand!

4. Is there anyone in your life that when you go to their place of residence, you just walk in without bother knocking? Does anyone just walk into your house without knocking?

Nope not anymore. No one comes to my house, lol.

I don't go to family holidays get together.

7. What is in your kitchen sink right at this very moment?

Three plates and 3 glasses.

8. You go to a store to buy an expensive item... say $150. You pick up that item and a couple other this n' thats. You get to the register and the expensive item rings up at $40. The cashier doesn't seem to notice and tells you your total. Do you go with what they say and pay it or do you question the price difference? You know you would question it if your $40 item rang up at $150....

Depends on my mood, if I'm having a rotten day then I'll leave it while thinking to myself this is for all the times I have been ripped off!

9. Do you fold your underwear or do you just toss it in a drawer?

Depends on my mood again, lol.

13. You are at a grocery store and are on your way out to your car with your cart full of grocery bags. On your way to your car you see a black kitten in an empty cart. What do you do?

I would look around to see if it belongs to anyone and would try very hard to keep walking!

14. Is there anything that you do for a hobby that you are asked to do for friends/family that most people would hire a professional to do? (example: cake decorating, fixing cars....)

I don't consider it a hobby and I no one asks me anymore (LOL) but I'm good at putting things together. Could be electronics (setting them up and connecting them with other things) or desks, tables, bookcases etc.

15. Are we there yet?

Mira, no fuñas/Look, stop bugging me!

Thursday Thirteen - I noticed.

Tweet

Sorry I haven't posted in some time but I have been busy with life. Been running around doing errands and going to appointments. By the time I get home all I want to do is sit and not think of anything. I sit to watch TV and find myself nodding off like if I'm 70 years old but when I try to sleep I can't because I keep thinking of everything I did during the day or need to do. So I am glad is Thursday!

I took some pictures and a video while I was in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Will try post them later today or tomorrow. I try to take pictures everytime I go out these days since I don't go out often. Makes you notice things you never noticed before.

I'm expecting a movie today and I'm so looking forward to it. I rented The X-files: I want to believe. It's old but I'm a fan! I hope it won't disappoint. Talking about disappointment, I wished The Day the Earth Stood Still had more content. It was too short! It was a good movie but I felt they could have done so much more with it. Keanu played the character really good. I enjoyed the first scenes with him and Kathy Bates a lot. Funny, like The Matrix he was wearing a black suit again.




It's Thursday Thirteen again. This week my 13 are things I noticed when I was riding the train this week.

1. The girl with the bloody heels because her sandals were scraping the back. I wanted to offer her a band aid even though I didn't have one!
2. The man ogling at the little girl's butt. She was about 15 years old. I wanted to say to him how sick can you be.
3. The man sitting across from me smiling at me. Didn't know if he was smiling because he was thinking about something, because he was poking fun at me or because he thought I looked nice. Even though it made me feel weird I hope it was the last one!
4. The girl with a push up bra and a white summer dress. A guy flirts with her, she smiles and walks further in the train. Stands in front of an old man who was looking up. She felt uncomfortable I guess and walked back to where the first guy was and starts chatting him up. Weird!
5. The man standing in front of my daughter and me who forced us to look at the floor or the side for an hour because his crotch was in our faces!
6. The man who was sitting next to me reading a book and kept fucking moving his legs over and over. Spreading them, what the fuck! You got teeth down there?
7. The guy sitting next to me listening to music while holding his phone to his ear. Ever heard of headphones?
8. The two guys in a suit sitting across from us who kept looking at us. What they have never seen Latinas? LOL
9. The girl sitting next to me with her friend and across her mother and I'm assuming sister. Bitch was showing off and I wanted to smack her! Thank God for headphones and music!
10. The woman who switched to another seat because she didn't wanted to be next to the guy who had just sat next to her. She didn't wanted him to dirty her dress (dress was white) I guess.
11. The construction worker who was wearing button up jeans instead of a zipper and one of the button was undone. I looked away right away, I didn't wanted to see no pipi while my daughter was sitting next to me! LOL
12. The woman who kept staring at me and made me wonder if I my makeup was messed up or something.
13. The sexy guy who was wearing a nice pair of jeans, a t-shirt and had a zodiacal tattoo on his arm. He looked so damn good!

There you have it, my 13 for this week. If you would like to join us click here. Pin It Now!

It's a rainy day in NY. Fairly quiet which is the way I like it! I know this is NY and it's not going to be quiet.

Get a damn key or call them on the phone...

1. I use the F word a lot. I have been trying to tone it down.
2. English is not my first language so my grammar might not always be perfect.
3. I have an accent when I speak English and when I get nervous it gets worse.
4. I have to use baby powder after I take a shower. It's up there with using deodorant, lol.
5. I bake a cake from a box every week and that's our dessert or snack. Saves me money on cookies etc.
6. I get very very sleepy after I eat.
7. I snore when I'm tired. Yes, women snore too, lol.

9. I get bitchy when I don't get enough sleep.
10. I have to speak in Spanish more often because I'm forgetting. I even think in English now! Noooo.
11. The super's voice annoys the hell out of me. He puts me on edge, don't know why!
