Monday Update: Weekend Of Disease Edition

Heyyy everyone and happy Monday! I hope all of you had a fabulous weekend and Father’s Day! Mine was alright, but as you can see by the title of this Monday Update, it could have been better because I was feeling like ass this weekend. I had (and still kind of have) a really sore throat and I was just straight up exhausted all weekend. I was sleeping a lot every night – over ten hours, but I would wake up every morning feeling even more tired and achey than before. I’m not sure what brought on this sudden sick spurt, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I was going out a lot last week which could have resulted in the body aches and tiredness. As far as the sore throat goes, it feels kind of strep-like, but I haven’t gone to a doctor or anything – I’m just blaming it on the fact that when I drink I smoke a lot so that’s probably what did it. I spent a lot of my time this weekend in bed cuddling with my Build A Bear minion named Kevin and binge watching Wentworth on Netflix. My handsome prince, Kyle, got me hooked on it and I’m already almost done with season one! HOLLA!

^^^ These were taken when I thought that I was feeling better on Saturday, so I put my makeup and a super cute outfit on. Unfortunately, my “recovery” was just one hour of relief, so I spent the day in bed with my face painted to perfection and a body full of misery. #shameful

On Father’s Day yesterday I was still feeling pretty foul so it was another lazy day…At least I knew better than to put on makeup! For our Father’s Day celebration, my family had a lovely evening of seeing Jurassic World in 3D! I’ve never seen the original, which I should probably do – but we all still really enjoyed it! I have a deep love for Chris Pratt from being a dedicated Parks & Recreation fan, so I loved watching him on the big screen. Mr. Pratt got buff as hell too, so props and a hubba hubba to him! I just really hope that no dinosaurs were harmed in the making of Jurassic World! Other than feeling concerned about that, the movie was great and it definitely lived up to the hype that I was seeing about it! Jurassic World has the Lil Red Seal of Approval for sure and I recommend that all of you see it immediately!

This Monday Update is being made during a much needed study break from my summer classes, which are now more than halfway through! Our midterms were last week and I’m pleased to announce that I have an A in all of my classes, so hurray for me! This post is a lot shorter than most Monday Updates, but I don’t have much to report from the weekend considering that most of it was spent in bed! So that’s that, the Monday Update: Weekend Of Disease Edition. I’m going to get back to work, but I hope all of you have a great rest of your day! How did you spend Father’s Day? Did anything exciting happen over the weekend? I wanna hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah

Weirdest/Best Dream EVER!

Weirdest/Best Dream EVER!

Omggg guys. I had the most insane, weird, ridiculously amazing dream last night!! It was one of those dreams that instantly gave me the thoughts “wtf?” and “I wish that it was real” as soon as I woke up. I need to talk about it before I forget it!! I’m not sure if I mentioned this before, but I’m a huge Harry Potter fan. I’ve read the books and seen the movies multiple times and I like to think that I can answer almost every HP trivia question thrown at me. With that in mind, you’ll understand how devastating it was for me to wake up from a dream that revolved around the adorable red headed Weasley twins, Fred and George. In my dream I think I was at some type of family get together – at least that’s the vibe I was getting considering I remember seeing my cousins and aunt and uncles in the dream world. Family get togethers usually invoke the image of sunshine, picnics, or a lovely welcoming home…But in my dream we were in some dark, musty, super janky building – and oh yeah, the Weasley twins just happened to be there. I remember doing a double take when I first spotted the twins in the dilapidated location and doing the classic “is that who I think it is?” to whomever was standing by me. And the thing was, it wasn’t even like it was the actors who play Fred and George….it was the ACTUAL Fred and George fresh out of Harry Potter. Be still my heart!!! So after I got confirmation that it was indeed the twin dynamos, my dream self worked up the courage to go talk to them. When I approached the boys, they were huddled over a piece of paper and writing feverishly. I asked them what they were doing and they both flashed me their classic cheeky grin and held out the paper. On the paper was a list of every single person who was at the get together with comments written beside all of the attendees. It was seriously like the ghetto version of the “Burn Book” from Mean Girls. I can recall my eyes scanning the page and trying to decipher the shitty hand writing. I could make out comments like “fat”, “tall glass of water”, and “lose some weight”. #RUDE!!! And then finally I found my name on the seemingly endless list of guests. The handwriting for my name and the comments was clear and perfect – and I swear the lighting in the dank and dimly lit room got better. By my name was the comment “most beautiful girl in the entire world” and I seriously freaked out. My heart was swooning, I was blushing like a thirteen year old, and I was totally smitten….and naturally I WOKE UP! 😦 As soon as my alarm went off I was SO pissed, because I was so aware of the amazing dream I had just had and I woke up right when things were getting interesting! I sincerely hope that my Fred and George dream comes back to me again tonight, because I’m very curious to see how it ends!!

^^^ I LOVE POTTER PUPPET PALS!

Have you guys had any crazy dreams lately? What do you think will happen next in my Fred and George dream? I wanna hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Happy Saturday. -Sarah

The Room: The Best Worst Movie Ever

The Room: The Best Worst Movie Ever

I have absolutely NO shame in admitting that The Room is one of my favorite movies ever. I find it absolutely hilarious, no matter if I’m sober or drunk. One of my favorite things to do with my friends who are fans of the movie, is to go see it at the Cedar Lee theatre in Cleveland. (They don’t have an official website, but you can view their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/cedarleetheatre make sure you give it a like!!) This theatre is known for playing strictly Indie and foreign films. Like any local theatre they have live performances during The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and most importantly on the second Saturday of each month, they play a midnight showing of The Room. It only costs five dollars for your ticket and a night of well rounded frivolity. Nothing pleases me more than being in a theatre full of The Room enthusiasts who basically quote the entire movie word for word. There’s quite a few tried and true traditions that occur throughout the movie, so allow me to give you the proper etiquette if you ever find yourself at a midnight showing at the Cedar Lee! Make sure you bring your plastic spoons! 🙂

  • Yell “the door is ajar” every time a character leaves the door open when entering Johnny and Lisa’s apartment. The yelling ends when the door is finally shut.
  • Break into applause during the famous “oh hi, doggy” scene.

  • Make “om nom nom” noises every time Lisa and Mark eat each others faces.
  • When Lisa is seducing Mark and he questions “the candles, the music, the sexy dress” the audience questions back “WHAT CANDLES? WHAT MUSIC? WHAT SEXY DRESS?”
  • Repeat back “best friend” every time someone mentions that Johnny is Mark’s best friend.
  • Every time the panorama of the Full House neighborhood appears, sing the theme song to Full House.
  • Whenever cars are seen traveling across the Golden Gate Bridge cheer them on before the scene changes.
  • Scream “you are tearing me apart Lisa” at the top of your lungs.

  • Scream “I did not hit her, it’s not true, it’s BULLSHIT, I did not hit her, I did nahhhhhht. Oh hi, Mark.”

  • Throw plastic spoons at the screen every time Johnny and Lisa’s spoon themed art work in the apartment is seen.
  • Slow clap to all of the slow jam songs played during sex scenes.
  • Add any comments you’d like during the movie. My personal favorite is yelling “PILLOW FIGHT” when Johnny, Lisa, and Denny are having one at the beginning of the movie.

Any other traditions that occur during the movie are easy to pick up on and it’s great fun to start your own as well! If you’re in the mood to get your drink on while watching The Room, my friends and I created a drinking game just for that occasion! I recommend getting one of the larger canned alcoholic drinks and taking a sip each time a drink worthy instance occurs. Here are the rules for when to drink during The Room:

  • Every time a football is thrown
  • Whenever a panoramic shot of San Francisco is seen
  • Every time someone mentions what a great guy Johnny is
  • Whenever Lisa says that she doesn’t love Johnny anymore
  • Whenever Lisa says that she’s in love with Mark
  • Whenever someone enters the apartment but leaves minutes later
  • Chug on “You are tearing me apart Lisa”
  • Chug during any “oh hi” scene
  • Chug during Johnny’s suicide scene if your drink hasn’t been completed by then

Enjoy!!!

What are some of the traditions that occur at the theatres you go to that screen The Room? What are some things that could be added on to the drinking game seen above? If you have any suggestions, leave me a comment and let’s chat! And make sure you check back in with me tonight for my review of the new episode of American Horror Story: Freak Show! Happy Hump Day! -Sarah
