In this article the writer goes on about how many words have been used in one sentence (which is 181 by Virginia Woolf). I like that this article is informative because you can use as many words as you want in a sentence. What I do not like about this is that the writer kind of brags about her being able to "cross gossamer bridges in my brain" and also being able to produce long sentences like Virginia Woolf.

My review of "Black Swan"

First if you haven't seen this and are planning on this then don't read it unless you don't care!: Ok, so I saw the movie Black Swan last night and I have to say it is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. It has some cringing, weird and risque parts but overall the plot line was really well done. Going into the movie I forgot that it was rated 'R', so I was suprised that there was a lot of vulgarity for what seemed a classy movie about ballet. I was also shocked that there was a lot of sex in this movie because you would think this movie is just about a woman trying to get the lead role in a famous ballet (Swan Lake). I mean, I don't mind but when I looked around there were semi-old people in the theater and I started laughing because they probably felt uncomfortable watching it with other people in the room. This is a psychological thriller which is why sometimes one thing would happen but in reality nothing did happen or it happened another way. I don't know how to explain it, you'd have to see it for yourself. I think my favorite part was when the ballet was finally taking place and Natalie Portman's character's arms transformed into those of the black swans wings. The end of the movie just blew me away because throughout the whole movie N.P.'s character wanted to be perfect and all she said at the end was "I am perfect" while dying at the end of the ballet.I am definitely going to go to target to buy this movie when I have the chance, although if my mom asks me to watch it with her I'll be like "No thanks mom...I'm ok".I would reccommend others to see this movie, it is just utterly amazing and jaw dropping!

A Quote That I Love

"The lily means I dare you to love me..."

"Free Space" aka Going On A Rant

Alright so I feel like going on a rant today. If I have not said already, I work at a movie theater. It is pretty sweet what with all the perks such as eating popcorn and drinking beverages while working, getting into movies for free, and getting $1 passes for every 12 hours that I work (if I only worked that many hours a week). And that just makes me mad, only getting about 4 1/2 hours a week. Since I only get paid minimum wage (7.25) and receive no raises, that is only about 28 or so dollars week!

A lot of people are having this problem at work too and so this girl I work with who I am good friends with went to talk to my boss about this, who does not do the schedules, and he said to get more hours is based off of "performance". Ok, how much work do you think that I could get done in 4 1/2 hours?! We try to report to him about the guy who does the schedules but he just blows it off. Everyone knows that it's based off of favoritism and not performance because "certain people" are getting 4 days a week, where as I get one. I took this job thinking it would pay better than my last job but I will admit that I am wrong. I need this job to help pay for college and obviously this is not giving me the money that I need to help pay for it. This is causing my mom and me to argue about me getting a second job or asking for more hours. I am trying all that I can to get more hours but the 'bleeping' assistant manager does not know how to make the schedule.

Earlier in the week my friend from work came over to talk about how crappy this scheduling business is getting and we decided it is time to go to corporate and hopefully they will do something or we will sue the guy that does the schedules. It just makes me angry everytime I have to look at that dang schedule and see my name with only one day scheduled next to it. Hopefully this guy gets fired and they will pick someone who will do the schedules right and think well of the co-workers. In a nut shell, that is the only thing I hate about my job.
