New Movies

There a two new movie trailers that are out, both made me geek my pants pretty hard. Id like to share. First...of course, is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Now, this is kind of a given, Peter Jackson's take on Tolkien's Lord of the Rings Trilogy was one of the greatest film achievements of all time. And The Hobbit looks just as great. after analyzing the trailer WAY too many times, I only have one complaint....they released an AMAZING looking trailer 360 DAYS BEFORE THE MOVIE COMES OUT!!! I have to wait a year for that! and then another year after that for the second film!!! AUGH!! in fact, the trailer is SOO good it took me the 3rd time seeing it that I realized that Smaug wasn't even in the trailer, not even mentioned. He might not even be in the first film at all, Smaug is the main conflict and the main conflict in the book...but I'm not worried. It's going to be so damn amazing!! Second Trailer... The Cabin in The Woods I'm pretty excited about this. Written by Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon, Directed by Drew Goddard and Produced by Joss Whedon. Joss Whedon is a god!, if you don't know who he is...stop reading this and Google that shit! Drew Goddard is the writer of Cloverfeild, which was freaking amazing!! This movie looks rad! they took the classic bad horror/thrasher movie, and added creepy cool Sci-Fi element. Anyways, I geeked out a bit this past weekend. go forth, and also be geeked out!!

Ba (zinga)

Making a video about cooking is hard.
Especially when you've had a migrane for a week strait.
Gonna try real hard to film myself cooking a few different things this weekend.
And I'll probably get a few episodes together before posting any.
So the basic plan is to post the first episode after the new year.

On a totally different note...Christmas shopping sucks. But I just finished up shopping by dropping about 90 bucks on ThinkGeek.com
Booyah!

On an additional side note.
I'm keeping a journal.
Weird right? I've attempted a daily journal before, and it never keeps. I discovered that they were always fake, I figured one day someone else would always read it, soni always wrote what would be cool for someone else to read. But I found an awesome free application for my iPad...and i've been writing in it pretty regularly for a couple months now.
I'm pretty proud of myself, and it's more true to myself because it's password protected. Plus I never go anywhere without my iPad. So it's pretty safe
Double Booyah!

Foodses

I like foods.
(hence the fatness)
But I suck at cooking. I make ramen, and lots of sandwiches and sometimes I put meat on a pan until it's no longer red.
This is about it.
My spice rack consists of one grinder with both pepper and salt in it.
So I kinda want to learn more about cooking. I want to be able to make actual meals for myself.
I dabbled with the idea of culinary school...but that's just the problem...school. I suck at school. I BARELY graduated high school, and have yet to attempt college.
So...there are a few restaurants around who do "classes"...but they mostly are hour long themed one meal classes that don't teach basic cooking.

So screw basic cooking classes.
I'm jumping right in. I'm gonna cook amazing things. And record myself doing it, cause that's funny.
And I'm going to do it Alton Brown's way! Cays his way is the best!

For Christmas Chelsea got me all three of Alton Brown's Good Eats Cookbooks.
So I'm going to make stuff from that. 
I don't plan on going all out "Julie and Julia" Style, I'm not going to do EVERY recipe EVERY day. Maybe just one video blog per week. 

So... That's the plan. 
I'm probably going to delete my movie review blog, since I haven't touched it in a few months. And start another blog that will probably just show the Videos and have the recipe listed. 
I'm kinda excited.
