I'm noticing a pattern here...

Is is just me or is every other blog of mine about sugar gliders or something pertaining to sugar gliders? Like today for example, 16 of the 20 pictures I have to share are of sugar gliders. It's usually that way with every other paragraph as well...

Anyway, LaVaughn managed to get some really, really cute pictures of... guess who... Deagol (sugar glider) last night! I also managed to get some really cute pictures of Violet. I also got a video of Violet cleaning herself, which is too cute for words. So be sure to check those bad boys out at the bottom.

In NON-animal news, I have a movie to talk about. Not sure if you've heard of The Inn Keepers or not, but it was a pretty good little ghostly movie. It's not like "edge of your seat" horrifying or anything, but it definitely has it's scary moments. The beginning is a little draggy, but it makes up for it in the end. It stars The Last House On The Left actress, Sara Paxton, whom I like. So... if you have nothing better to watch, you should check it out. Remember, it's The Inn Keepers!

I suppose that's all I can drain out of myself at the moment. Until next time... yadda, yadda, yadda.

Love & Peace

 *gasp* "How exciting!"

 Look at that cute little mosaic face. <3

I seriously want to keep him sometimes, lol.

 Yogurt on his mouth.

 Sleepy little sugar glider.

 She has such a pretty face. <3

 "No more photos please."

 This is quite possible my favorite photo of her ever!

 And yes, her eyes are open. (this was taken by LaVaughn)

Yes, this is a sugar glider penis. And yes, it is forked.

Here's the video:

 

Where did that come from?

During this whole "winter storm" scare that everyone got, I thought we were one of the only ones that didn't get anything. I mean, we got a little freezing rain, but that was it. Well today I walked up to the lake and was amazed by the fact that there was ice ALL over the trees. Not only was it amazing, but it was gorgeous! I managed to get some pretty nice pictures of it. Nothing uber special, our cameras zoom is only clear to about arms reach. Anyway, I also managed to get some really awesome shots on my drive into town. So enjoy!

Until next time, you know where to find me...

Love, Peace & Wiener Grease

Song of the day: Sweet Child Of Mine by Taken By Trees



Here's a nice little shot of the DVD for you. This was taken as soon as we got home. It's also very huge, so don't forget to view the full size... :)

You can‘t judge a movie without a rating…

Well, well, well. Three days in a row. That has to be a new record fro me. But I couldn’t go a day longer without telling you this… I haven’t been rating the movies! Why oh why have I done such a thing? I should be punished. Well, I guess I’ll start here.

Last month I told all of you that we got to see The Last House on the Left. And again, it was a truly great movie. So much better than the original. You can hardly tell it’s a remake. Other than the fact that most of the names are the same. Anyway, I think I would give it a 8.5/10. That seems suitable. It was really so awesome. So if it’s still playing in a theater near you, then I suggest you see it ASAP.

Before I get into all the movies that we’ve bought at Hastings recently. I must tell you about Resident Evil 5. As usual, we got it the day it came out. But we didn’t play it a whole lot that day. And I’m sure that most of you know that it’s a co-op game like the ever grateful Left 4 Dead. This game informs you about a lot of history on the Resident Evil game series. But for people like us, we already knew. Cause we’ve followed RE ever since The Mansion. But anyway. The game play resembles that of RE 4. Only a lot more color and lighting changes hit you in 5. Not that it’s a bad thing though. I guess Capcom wanted a more realistic feel. The game centers around a small town in Africa where you (Chris Redfield) meet your partner (Sheva Alomar) that sticks with you throughout the entire game. Together the two of you face loads and loads of new enemies. The game play is pretty realistic. It kept me entertained. But it is no easy task. Whenever we first played we were lost. It’s a little hard to get used to the new keys. Unless you played RE 4 up until the day you got RE 5. But it gets easier, I promise. We only played for like 30 minutes the first day. Then like 3 or 4 days later we played a lot more. And then we played every night up until the very end. So if you’ve never played this before and are planning on getting it, then prepare yourself. I suggest you grab a friend cause it is super hard on your own. But I think you will like it in the long run. Especially if you love zombie games as much as we do. So I think I’m going to give RE 5 a 7.5/10.

Ok, now I’m going to start with Feast 3. I know I didn’t mention this one in my earlier blogs, but I have to review it. It’s just way too cool to skip. We always knew that there was going to be a part 3. We just didn’t realize it would be so soon. Until one day we were browsing around on amazon.com and noticed it at the bottom of the page. We were like flipping out. So we ordered it. And then a couple days after that I was looking at our credit card transactions and noticed that there was way too much that had been charged. So I went back to amazon.com and looked at our order forum and noticed that somehow we had ordered two copies of Feast 3. I contacted the seller and told him about the problem. But he was like, “It’s already been shipped.” and that was pretty much it. But anyway. The movies starts exactly where the second one left off. Which I think is just awesome. And somehow the majority of the cast is still alive. Who you ask? Well that’s for you to find out. So please, got to the video store and rent it. Or buy it, either way. But I must warn you, it’s out there. Way out there.. But I like that about it. I would have to give it at least a 8.5/10. And I also noticed that in our earlier blog I gave Feast a 9/10 and Feast 2 a 8/10. Well I wanna change that a little. I wanna give Feast a 8.5/10 and Feast 2 a 9/10. Sorry for the mess up.

Now for the rest of the movies. I don’t really know if I want to rate all of them. Just a few of my faves. Like Funny Games. That movie was the s***. It has Michael Pitt (Bully, Last Days), Naomi Watts (The Ring, King Kong), and Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction). I’m not going to go into all the details or anything. But do recommend this movie. It was so good. We first watched it on HBO but later got it at Hastings. It is so awesome. I would have to give it at least an 8/10. Ok, now for The Day The Earth Stood Still. This movie was pretty good overall. I mean come on, it has Keanu Reeves in it. How bad can it be. I can’t really compare it to the old one considering I’ve never seen it. But I will in the future. After all, we did get ti free with the new one. So if you’re into sci-fi and all that good stuff. Then this is the movie for you. I think I’m going to give it a 7/10. Hmm, what next? Ok, how about Otis. This movie was so good. One of the best I’ve seen in a while actually. It looks like it would be cheaply made, but oh no. It has Illeana Douglas (Goodfellas, Stir of Echoes), Daniel Stern (Home Alone, City Slickers), and Kevin Pollak (The Whole Nine Yards, Hostage). A pretty good lineup if you ask me. It’s mostly about a guy that kidnaps girls and keeps then in his basement. He tries to re-live his high school years by dressing them up like cheerleaders and dressing himself up as a football player. It a really good comedy/thriller. I think anyone with a since of humor would like it. I’m going to give it a 8/10. And last but not least, the original Last House on the Left. It was pretty good. I love movies that were filmed in the 70s. They just look classy. But it has nothing on the remake. But it is nice to have. So I’m sure that most of you have seen this cult classic. But if not, then you should pick yourself up a copy. Cause it’ll be nice to have when the new one comes out. I guess I would give it a 6.5/10.

Well folks, thanks again for reading. I’ll rate more when we get new movies. So I’ll probably be blogging tomorrow as well, lol. So peace out you groovy hipsters. Keep rockin hard until next time.

Song of the day: Young Men Dead by The Black Angels

Where did the time go?…

Seriously, where did the time go? It’s been forever and a day since my last blog. About 4 months I think. But all in good reason. Gees, I don’t even remember where my last blog left off. Well Lucy, we have a lot of explaining to do…

To start everything off. Just after Thanksgiving my grandma started to get sick. She wouldn’t eat and she slept all the time. So after about a week or so of her being sick and not wanting to go to the doctor. We decided to make her go. Well the first hospital we took her to that will go unnamed for now just sent her home after about five hours of pretty much nothing. So the next day we all realized the she was sick and still needed to go to the doctor. So my aunt (LaVaughn’s mom) took her to a bigger hospital a few towns over. Where they immediately stuck an IV in her arm and gave her a room. This story if pretty long so I’m going to make it as short as possible. She was in there for 14 days and during that time she had a few different infections and her kidneys were failing. So after about a week of the doctors trying to get her kidneys to function, they decided to just put her on dialysis. So now she has to go to a dialysis clinic three time a week. But I think that’s a small price to pay. At least she’s doing good now.

After all that happened things started to go back to normal.

First, we got another ferret. It was in the pet store and was oh so cute at the time. So of course, we had to have it. We brought her home and she and our other ferrets got along so well. Then after a while we were talking. And moving came up a time or two. And we were thinking, “No one would rent a house/apartment to us with all of our animals.” So we were thinking about maybe trying to find some of them a nice new home. After about a week of that we decided to drop the whole “moving thing” and forget about getting rid of our animals. So we went on out way. Then we were talking one day about how much Ginger would go to the bathroom in the floor. And ever since we got Ginger (our Chihuahua) we’ve tried to potty train her. We tried walking her, getting puppy pads, and we even thought about a puppy litter box. But nothing would work. So we though if we could find her a nice home, it would be better for everyone. So we had some friends ask around for us. Then one day we were talking about how 3 ferrets is way too many. We can’t even play with them for very long periods. So we tossed the idea of getting rid of Luda and the new ferret around. So after about 2 weeks of having people ask around. We finally found some homes for some of them. So, we found our outside cat October a nice home on a farm where she‘ll be the only animal there. We found a great place for Luda and our new ferret. The guy said that he had ferrets in the past and knew a lot about them. So that was cool. And we also found Ginger a home with a couple that didn’t have any animals. Hopefully they’ll be able to potty train her. So now that leaves us with Milla (our German Shepherd), our cats (Zoe, Mischa, and Oona), Hollis (our hamster), and John Rambo (our gerbil). Oh, stupid me for forgetting. Our other finch died. No clue why. He just kicked the bucket one day. And a while after that we seen a couple love birds that looked pretty cute. LaVaughn really wanted them. But we backed off at first. Then like a week later the same love birds were still there. So after we talked ourselves into it, we decided to get them. They are so cute but still a little on the unsocial side right now. And I think that concludes all of our animal news.

Oh yea. LaVaughn took her eyebrow ring out and I took my left lip ring out. We were just sitting there one day talking about how more that one piercing on the face is a little too much. For us anyway. And I must say, it does feel loads better.

Hmm, what else? Well we’ve bought loads of new movies since the last time we’ve blogged. We really buy a lot from amazon.com anymore. But man, you can find DVDs so cheap there. And extremely rare. Like for example, Evil Toons. A really old comedy/horror movie of the early 90s. It was a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it.

Oh yea. We seen The Last House on the Left. The opening night. Well it was more like day. But we got to see the very first showing. It was cool. There were only two other girls in there with us. Weird huh? But anyway, the movie was awesome. With a well assembled cast, great plot and an awesome director. This makes for a great movie. So the next chance you get, please go see this movie. If not for yourself, for me.

Man, I know there has to be more, but I just can’t think of it right now. Well, if I think of anything else, I’ll just blog about it later. So until next time, keen on rockin’.
