Whimsical weirdness

Keep your fingers crossed!

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 13:32:02 GMT

Yay... The boy hugged me and told me he wants to hang out again because he really had fun that night (YES!) at the gym yesterday! It's great to be able to talk to him now and not do anything silly! Then Jasmin and I went for a walk on the second floor and proceeded to watch the cluster of trainers swell around the front desk. Then Jasmin got a great idea: To play Leisha ball and chuck me over the side to see if anyone would catch me. I told her know but then as we passed the desk again she called down to Jeff and said "If I throw her over, you'll catch her right?" He said yes! But the problem he doesnt know not to encourage Jasmin yet. So I told amber and she said no because it was a liability (not because it would result in death or anything...) Poor me! O well, the rest to the gym time was spent working out and watching Jeff and picking on Amber and Xtreme Cheerleader! I hope this works out!

This day gets better - Take that Lou!

ORLANDO, Fla. - Lou Pearlman, the man who created the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, was sentenced Wednesday to 25 years in federal prison for engineering a decades-long scam that bilked thousands of investors out of their life savings.

It was the maximum sentence the boy band mogul could receive for allegedly swindling some $300 million from investors and banks since the early 1980s.

He pleaded guilty in March to two counts of conspiracy and single counts of money laundering and presenting a false claim in bankruptcy court.

U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharp noted that many victims were Pearlman's relatives, friends and retirees in their 70s or 80s who lost everything.

"The sympathy factor just doesn't run very high with the court," Sharp said.

However, the judge said he would reduce Pearlman's sentence by one month for every $1 million returned to investors. It wasn't clear how, or if, investors would ever be compensated.

"I want to say clearly that there's no pot of gold out there," defense attorney Fletcher Peacock said.

Prosecutors allege Pearlman scammed individuals out of an estimated $200 million, and banks out of another $100 million.

The courtroom was packed with victims, some of whom gave emotional testimony. Another two dozen or so waited outside.

"Over the past nine months since my arrest, I've come to realize the harm that's been done," Pearlman said in a short courtroom statement. "I'm truly sorry and I apologize for what's happened."

Peacock said Pearlman meant to pay back all the investors, and noted he had returned about $103 million.

He said Pearlman got caught up in lawsuits - also alleged fraudulent business practices - over his otherwise successful entertainment ventures in the 1990s that prevented him from returning the money.

Knock Knock! Who's there? It's 24!

Thu, 15 May 2008 06:59:05 GMT

Wow, it's kinda hard to believe but I'm gonna be 24 on Saturday...which should be right if both Megan and Chris just turned 22. I'm just waiting for mom to call and say "You're almost a quarter of a century old!" I tell you, one day you turn twenty and are enjoying the ride and the next thing you know - the years start streaming past. The teens took forever and the twenty are moving like rapids. They need to switch or else I want remote from "Click"!Oh well, 24 is a blessing! There are quite a few who didn't get this much time so I can't complain. Here's hoping for twenty four more!

By the way, if anyone wanted to get me something, gift-cards rule! I'm easily amused. Borders, Walmart, Best Buy - its all gravy and if not thanks for just thinking of me and wishing me well!

Next step - June and the Birthday madness! So Susan, Jasmin, Stephanie and Jason - if you have a preference on a gift tell me now while I still have goverment money!

Hugs out!

Oh, Jasmin you brute...

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 13:33:46 GMT

So Ashley cousin,her cousin's girlfriend and their baby came down to visit. Well the baby Kylie is about 15 and a half months old. Now, as a baby in a good sized apartment, you would want to run and play the baby was playing near Jasmin. Now Jasmin was playing her PS3 and ocassionally turning to jabber at the baby in a whole lot of blather and playing on. At about this point the innocent happy baby say the power strip the game systems are connected to and promptly reached over to pull the plug. Jasmin immediately leans over and say "Noooooooooooooo" in a slow mo sounding worried voice. Now I must stress that there was no malice in her voice but that did not stop Kylie from stopping, toppling over in the opposite direction, scrunching up her little face and bursting into baleful sobbing. Oh, Jasmin you brute. The baby cried for a good 10 minutes. Jasmin sat there going " I didnt mean to make it cry!" All the while the momma was laughing.

Interesting rumor about Deathly Hallows

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:25:51 GMT

In a recent article from the Daily Mail, which claims crews working on Half-Blood Prince have been told the final film will be split:

A film source said: "There's so much to fit that the view is the last movie should be in two halves. There is a huge battle when Harry, played by Daniel Radcliffe, and fellow Hogwartians fight the dark forces needs to be done really well."

What's more, the Daily Mail claims that big name directors such as Steven Spielberg are being considered to direct Deathly Hallows. We'll look into this rumor and let you know what Warner Brothers has to say!

*Hmmm, me likey the split film idea! I kinda hope it's true!

The week of extreme Annoyance

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 22:45:58 GMT

First off - ARGHH! Whew, me feel slightly better!

Last Friday - lost my bank card

Sat - Worked long shift at work

Sunday - Good picinic day, Chris is Prez, woot! YaY! (no participation in the evil doing)

Monday - Driving to work and I get a flat tire. Scared the hell out of me! Good dinner, though.

Tuesday - Find out that Kauffman's patches tires for free...yay, except my tire was punctured to close to the side and can't be patched so I have to by a new tire. So I try to use a check...it doesn't go through, I panic becasue I worry someone might have used my card before I called it in lost. So they have to take off the new tire, put on the doughtnut so I can drive to the bank to find out that there is no reason why my check shouldn't have worked and so I take out the money and go back and pay $68.48 for get my new tire. That's $70 I could've used for the holidays or for gas gone do to some dumb ass miniscule puncture.

Wednesday - Work and prep for Black Friday

I hate this week and it's not even over yet!

Halloween

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 04:57:13 GMT

Happy Pumpkin Day!!! WOOT! Everyone Have a Happy Halloween!!!!

A hope and a prayer

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 14:57:54 GMT

Hello friends, long time no post.

Sorry about that. Mom and Jason and Tasha came down-(ran around a bit and went to Disney)I've been practing my driving and working on organizing the big back stock room at Dillard's.But soon I will re-emerge into the world of fun. But something more important must be addressed.

My 2nd cousin TeeTee (LaTisha) is in the hospital dying right now, in Atlanta. I found out today. She's been on dialysis for 2 years now and is fighting a losing battle against both kidney infection and blood infection. TeeTee and I used to play all the time when we were litte and Jason was in the hospital. She was like my little sister. I remember afternoons spent playing with dolls, running around the yard at Aunt Mur's and her unreal amusement at Horror films (especially for Chuckie). But eventually I moved away to W.VA and she moved and this is the first news of her Ive heard in years. Sadly enough, I know that she wont make it but all I can do is pray she goes peacefully. She suffered for a long time - she was born pre-mature, due to a car accient, unfinished and enudred many operations to finish her and has been in and out f the hospital all her life. She started college but had to leave after 2 years to treatment.She is sweet and bright and was never hindered by her health from enjoying life until now. So all I ask is that those who will, may send a prayer or a wish for peace for her... that she finds it and in the beyond.

Dear LaTisha, may the love of those around carry you peacefully to new horizons...

Your in my heart, forever - Leisha

Harry Potter Theme Park

Thu, 31 May 2007 21:40:20 GMT

Harry Potter Theme Park Headed to Fla.
Thursday May 31 10:53 AM ET

Universal Studios is opening up a Harry Potter theme park in Florida complete with the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade village.

"The Wizarding World of Harry Potter," will open in late 2009 in Orlando, officials said Thursday.

"The plans I've seen look incredibly exciting, and I don't think fans of the books or films will be disappointed," said author J.K. Rowling, who has been working with a creative team to make sure the park resembles the books and films.

More than a dozen artists and designers lead by Stuart Craig, the production designer of the movies, have set up house in the studio where the movies are being filmed to make sure every detail is considered, according to Scott Trowbridge of Universal.

"We're really going to the people who know this world best to ensure that level of authenticity," he said.

The Potter park will allow visitors to view the iconic locations in Rowling's magical world, like Dumbledore's office in Hogwarts and the shops in Hogsmeade. Some locations may be in upcoming books, Trowbridge said.

Trowbridge said while there would not be any character lookalikes at the park, fans wanting to see Harry Potter and his magical friends wouldn't leave disappointed.

"This is Harry's world," said Trowbridge. "Most every fan wants to have an encounter with the star of the show."

The Harry Potter book series has been translated into 65 languages with more than 325 million copies sold in over 200 territories around the world.

The fifth film in the series, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," will be released in theatres on 13 July. The seventh and final book of the series will be released on 21 July.

... A "Marvel" Musical?

Fri, 20 Apr 2007 12:30:03 GMT

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Get ready for "Spider-Man: The Broadway Musical."

That may not be the official title, but Marvel Studios is putting the pieces together for a musical on the Great White Way starring the popular superhero.

Julie Taymor, who won Tonys for direction and costume design for the Broadway production of "The Lion King," will direct, with U2's Bono and The Edge creating new music and lyrics for the project.

Auditions are taking place, and a reading is scheduled for the summer. No dates for a Broadway opening have been set.

While the Spider-Man musical marks the first time a Marvel character has been the subject of a Broadway show, it's not the first time a superhero has hit the stage. Superman was in the spotlight of "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman," which opened at the Alvin Theatre in 1966. Despite fairly positive reviews, it closed a few months later.

Spider-Man will next be seen on the big screen, when the third installment of the blockbuster franchise opens across North America on May 4.

Progress

Tue, 17 Apr 2007 04:32:59 GMT

3 - Tell you something I like about you.
4 - Tell you a memory I have of you.
5 - Associate you with a character/pairing.
6 - Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
7 - Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.

Menudo reforming for MTV reality series...OMG

Sun, 15 Apr 2007 22:05:11 GMT

The Puerto Rican boy band Menudo, which gave singer Ricky Martin his start, is coming back as part of an "American Idol"-style reality show.

Dozens of Latino teenagers showed up for auditions Saturday at a waterfront market in Miami, the Miami Herald reported. Judges included Johnny Wright, the music manager behind New Kids on the Block, 'NSync and the Backstreet Boys, and Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough.

Menudo was one of the most popular boy bands of the 1980s and '90s, rotating in new talent every few years when the singers got old or their voices changed.

"We're going to make it a little different than it was before," Wright told the Herald. "The beat is going to be the beats of the street now — club, hip-hop and rock. It's not going to be something that's pigeonholed."

Seven boys from auditions being held around the country will be picked to film the series "The Road to Menudo," airing next month on MTV Tr3s, MTV's bilingual Latin-American channel.

Me - Hot Chocolate with a pinch of spice
Su - Kim Chee
Frank - French Fries
Phae - "Spicy" (almost anything)
Tara - Espresso
Mei - Grilled Cheese
Chris - Sugar Cookies with Sprinkles
Nette - 3 Musketeer bar
Drew - Pancakes
Justin - Jagermiester
Jasmin - Ohm Coffee Latte

PS:
Muse - Lilioki and sweet rolls
Cuz - Rice Noodles

Yummy yum yum!

New Disney Animated Film to feature the "First" Black Princess!

Sat, 10 Mar 2007 13:41:29 GMT

The Walt Disney Co. has started production on an animated musical fairy tale called "The Frog Princess," which will be set in New Orleans and feature the Walt Disney Studio's first black princess. (Apparently no one saw Altantis but me...:sighs: Poor Kidagash)

The company unveiled the plans Thursday at its annual shareholders' meeting in New Orleans.

John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Disney and the Disney-owned unit Pixar Animation Studios, said the movie would return to the classic hand-drawn animation process, instead of using computer animation that has become the industry standard. He called the film "an American fairy tale."

"The film's New Orleans setting and strong princess character give the film lots of excitement and texture," Walt Disney Studios Chairman Dick Cook said.

The movie will be scored by Randy Newman, who also wrote the music for Disney's "Toy Story," "A Bug's Life" "Toy Story 2," "Monsters, Inc." and "Cars."

Newman performed a song from the score for the shareholders.

John Musker and Ron Clements, who co-directed "The Little Mermaid" "Aladdin," and "Hercules" will co-direct the movie. The pair also wrote the story for the film.

Disney said its new animated princess Maddy will be added to its collection of animated princesses used at the company's theme parks and on consumer products.

The film is set for release in 2009... here is the early drawing:

Happy Vday , Friends!

Wed, 14 Feb 2007 05:03:42 GMT

Claims Against Boy-Band Impresario Grow
AP
ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 2) - Claims against boy-band impresario Lou Pearlman have grown to more than $130 million through a spate of lawsuits by creditors and investors related to his business interests that range from an airline leasing company to restaurants.

That total does not include $33 million judges have recently ordered him to pay on previous lawsuits, the Orlando Sentinel reported in Friday editions.

The latest suit, filed here Thursday in Circuit Court by Bank of America, alleges the founder of the Backstreet Boys , 'N Sync and US-5 has defaulted on business and personal loans worth more than $17 million.

A week earlier the same bank filed a mortgage-forclosure suit seeking more than $25 million or possession of Orlando's Church Street Station entertainment complex.

A Pearlman spokeswoman did not have an immediate comment Friday, but his companies issued a statement Thursday saying rumors the Bank of America already had taken over Church Street Station were false.

In a November interview with The Associated Press, Pearlman blamed the lawsuits on people trying to cash in on his success.

"I know a lot of people come at me, as a deep-pockets theory," he said then. "The more successful you get the more lawsuits you get, unfortunately."

I have one thing yo say to you Lou, Take that you fuckin' piece of shite... HAHAHAH! What goes around comes around, you fat soul-less bastard!

Backstreet, Nsync* and O-town Fans unite and rejoice!!!

LOL, this show rocks...

This is so damn funny...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqjHedvAnDY

These are video clips from a show called Extras, the same show the Daniel clip came from, only the first one features a very vain Orlando Bloom.The one following is of Sir Ian McKellan explaining how to act. The idea of the series is that Andy and Maggie are extras trying to make it in the flim business and each show they encounter a real famous person on the set of a movie they are extras for. Andy keeps trying to push his ideas, Maggie is on the hunt for a boyfriend. The famous people that have the cameos on the show are made to play twisted versions of themselves - which is funny as hell. So far the following people have guest starred:

Kate Winslet,Ben Stiller, Samuel L Jackson, Patrick Stewart,Orlando Bloom, Daniel Radcliffe & Warrick Davis,David Bowie, Sir Ian McKellan and Robert Deniro.... Hilarious
