Transformers!


I liked the movie and I want to smack the critics who are banging it so harshly.

What did you expect from a movie...
based on a cartoon...
about transforming, alien robots?

Seriously? It's as if they were expecting a life-altering experience. Or a second Schindler's List. C'mon now. It's fantasy. Pure escapism. That's all I was expecting and I got it ten fold.

I wasn't sitting through the preview thinking to myself, "This is sure to be a thought-provoking, complex film that I can discuss with my friends over lattes." I don't go to these kinds of movies to analyze character development and plot complexities. Please.

Giant robots... hot girl... relatable hero... explosions... good shit. Sam's parent's were hilarious, too. I love them in the first one and I was happy to see that they were in the second one even more.

HOWEVER. Oh yes, I have a "however." It wasn't enough that they killed off Jazz in the first one. Now these stereotypical twins are plopped in there? Really? Was that really necessary?

That aside, I enjoyed myself. I "oooh"ed and "aahh"ed to my hearts content and left the theater amazed at how far special effects and computer graphics have come. I also left the theater wishing I had my own Bumble Bee. -sigh-

And the verdict is.... PUSSIES!!

lol... I kid. Sort of.

I tried out the Emjoi this morning and I have to say that it stings at most. I first tested it on my leg because I figure the skin there has endured more than pit-skin. Not bad. A shock at first, then I got used to it. I don't think I'll be using it to try and keep my legs smooth, though. I imagine that it would take a lot of time and patience. I have neither.

Now, the area I was focused on torturing: my underarms -dundunDUUUUNNN-

Again, I jumped, but then again, I got used to it. The only time it came close to real "pain" was when my skin got caught. Haha. When it tells you to pull the skin taut while you're doing this... follow the damn directions. Also, I was a bit impatient and I probably should have waited until the hair grew a bit longer, but I felt like a little boy with a brand new BB gun. I was ready to shoot my eye out ASAP. It grabbed more than I thought it would be able to. Definitely satisfied with my new epilator. I don't mind the loudness, either. It actually sounds louder in Purse Buzz's video than it does in real life.

Two thumbs up!

Bring the Pain!! AAUUURRGHHHOOOOO!!!

Alright, so I got something in the mail that I am very excited/anxious about using. After watching this video from Purse Buzz...



... I just HAD to give it a go. So, I ordered from Beauty Choice and received my Emjoi Soft Caress Gold Cordless Epilator. -deep breath- Okay. I have a pretty high thresh hold for pain, but I don't know. I keep reading the comments and reviews and I can't decide if it's really painful, or if these people are just pussies. I'm just going to have to try it to see which category I fall into. I feel like I'm going into battle!!
