Music Monday!

Dear Cameo,

It looks like we have a good group at camp this week. We had to tell them they were allowed to have fun...

For Music Monday! I have a special treat. Nine Inch Nail (or NIN):
Ok, this band has been around longer than I've been interested in music. (Founded in 1988, when I was one year old...) It officially has only one person in it: Trent Reznor, who is amazing. I really shouldn't have to tell you much about his sound, with hits like "Hurt," "With Teeth," and "Closer."

Want to know the best thing? The next album, the Slip, is on their site for free downloads. I did it. So should you.

Love,
Slayre

Wanted

Dear Agent 99,

Sorry for not posting two days last week. I'm on a medication and it makes me sleepy. Stupid wasp bites that I scratched and got infected...

Anyway, yesterday I went and saw Wanted:

It was totally not what I expected from the trailer, but it's still amazingly good. I absolutely love that most of Angelina Jolie's Fox used mainly nonverbal communication. It was super sexy. It had me laughing the entire time, and the music kept my blood pumping. The score to this movie is amazing. I went and looked for the soundtrack, but I was disappointed that it was only the score. I'll probably buy it anyway. Danny Elfman anyone? Best of all, one of my favorite comedians made a cameo as a cashier. (I wouldn't have caught it if I hadn't been looking for her. Bridget McManus- You can stock my peanut butter anytime!)

So, this is a first for Slayre Says. Wanted gets a 5 out of 5. If for no other reason than I got to see Angelina's ass again. Yum.

Love,
Slayre

Movie Review Wednesday

Dear Dogs,

Instead of our regularly scheduled Nerd Day!, we'll be having a movie review. We at Slayre Says are dedicated to giving you our opinions as soon as we get them! And by "our" I mean me and all the voices in my head.

Get Smart:There's two kinds of humor, and this movie had both. Luckily, it didn't rely too heavily on the dumb humor like so many of the comedies nowadays. I very much enjoyed this movie, which is great since I gave up a large amount of sleep time to go see it. As far as acting goes, a lot of it was over the top, but it felt like it was supposed to be like that. I didn't see the chemistry between Anne Hathaway and Steve Carell, but that could just be that Carell is old enough to be Hathaway's dad...

Overall, I give this movie a 4.9 out of 5.00

Love,
Slayre

Candied Capricorn

Dear Girl Kissers,

It's days like this, when I work ten hours, but don't get home until 13 hours of starting work that I realize how tired I am. It's ok though. It means I'll sleep well. Everyone should leach my tiredness and cure their insomnia!

Capricorn, Adze says:
Cultivate mutuality and understanding. You can improve the relationships.... Get in touch with mother earth. Tend to practical affairs.... To get more love, develop your grace, charm and sense of values.

Note: I only took part of this site's horoscope, since it was separated by inner and outer planets, but I didn't put the ellipses. It was all copy pasted.

Slayre Says:
Go start a garden and reflect on what you lack: love, grace, charm and sense of values. Learn to accept that you'll never have those things and try not to take out this realization on your dog.

Disclaimer: Or cat.

Slayre's Fortune Cookie: It's not stalkerish.

Love,
Slayre

Music Monday!

Dear Dirt Biker,

Well, it's back to the beginning of the week, and Slayre Says has something to celebrate: the first spamming! If you look at the comments from yesterday's post, I got spammed by some someone who wants me to put some random game embedding onto my site. In the future, I'll be deleting all spam, but I feel like I should leave up the first one, since it has nothing to do with male enhancement.

Today, I have a single for you, since overall, I don't like this artist's work: Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl.
Ok, there's a lot wrong with this song, but I really love the chorus. "I kissed a girl, and I liked it," is easily my favorite line in the song. What's wrong with it? It implies that it's totally wrong that she kissed a girl at all. Ok, maybe she shouldn't have been kissing other people when she had a boyfriend, but "it's not what good girls do?" So my mom might agree with her, but whatever. Honestly, I don't know if I should be offended by this and her other song, Ur So Gay. No matter what the message of the song is, it's tune is catchy and it's easy to sing. Check it out, you might get it stuck in your head.

As an aside, I found it interesting that there are no girls kissing in the music video.

Love,
Slayre

Fun Friday!

Dear Uranus,

Thank deity of your choice it's Friday! I'll be honest, I haven't been playing any video games. I haven't been doing much of anything fun, but I'll come up with something I've liked in the past. Just because I love you. Oh, and you too.

This week: Uphill Rush
This is a pretty simple game. Sort of a mix between a race and stunt track. If you haven't noticed by now, I like the mindless games that take a little bit of skill, but not a lot of thinking. Strategy player I am not. So, go ahead and click on the blue link above the picture and enjoy!

Love,
Slayre

Common Capricorn

Dear Necromancers,

Weeee! I'm going to move into a room today!

Capricorn, Astroadvice says:
You may have to grasp something that you weren't counting on. Don't let your emotions lead you astray. There is money heading your way from a source you least expect. Keep things in perspective. The Moon is in Capricorn and your industrious mood will carry on. You must fit as much into your day as possible in order to reach your highest potential.

Slayre Says:
You might have to touch some genitals that you never expected to have to touch. Don't get too grossed out. You'll get paid for it. Look at it this way, you don't have to moon in your ass. Oh wait, you do. You're feeling pretty industrious... so try to pack some more in.

Disclaimer: Don't try to fit more in. Explosion is imminent.

Slayre's Fortune Cookie: I've got the gay key!

Nerd Day!

Dear Mr. Bush,

I'm eating barbecue tonight! You have no idea how excited this makes me feel!

Ok, this week, for Nerd Day! I sacrifice to you one of my old time favorites: Garth Nix's Sabriel

Click here to go read an excerpt. You'll have to click on the "look inside" option. Sorry, they didn't have a sample chapter on his website...

This book is considerably more somber than the other books I've recommended. And longer. However, it's a zombie book! Ok, the main character puts zombies to rest using her magical bells, but there are still zombies! Anyway, read it. This has been a staple in my book collection for years.

Love,
Slayre

Sexy Sagittarius

Dear Twins,

I'm finally getting the final bit of my tattoo done this Saturday. I'm trying not to think about work, so that's what I'm focusing on. When it heals, I'll post a picture!

Sagittarius, Daily Horoscope says:
Take a little trip, or get outside today. You may want to break that routine and try something new or different right now. You may discover insights into day-to-day problems that will be of great value later. You are very much the creature of habit and habitat. Your encircling networks of friends and relationships are crucial to your success or lack thereof. You are nourished in great measure by the atmosphere and conditions you are able to set up for yourself. You are happiest today as you accomplish your chores and improve your surroundings, perhaps by cleaning or working with plants. All that is fine and luxurious may be what you enjoy most. You will make your own way and find solutions to whatever problems you have. Tonight is for romance.

Slayre Says:
Stop doing the same old things and go outside. You're pale in an unhealthy way. You might just figure out why no one likes looking at you in bright light. We know the sun hurts you, but it's time to get a little color and come out of the dark hole you call your lair. At this point, if you didn't have your friends, you'd probably starve. With the atmosphere and energy they provide, there's plenty for a psychic vampire to feed from. You feel pleased since you finally got rid of that odd smell that was left over from your last feeding. You've definitely got champagne tastes, unfortunately, you have a beer budget. It's ok though, you've started to watch the DIY network and you've started building your own furniture. Tonight, try to hook up.
Disclaimer: I try to keep everything fairly non-political, but I just couldn't resist.

Slayre's Fortune Cookie: Dirt in shoe makes blister on toe.

Slayre

Music Monday!

Dear Green Monsters,

It's a new week! I'll try to post consistently since I love you and I'm really sad I let you down...

This week- Tegan and Sara:
These twins have had a long career, and like many bands, their style has slowly change, and in their case, dare I say, improved. Their latest album, The Con, is by far my favorite. Musically, it's the most complicated thing they've worked on, but not so out there that it's hard to relate to.

Yeah, they have mullets, but they make them work.

Movie Review Saturday

Dear Book Worms,

Sorry for not updating for a whole two days. I fell asleep. Repeatedly.

Anyway, to make up for the lack of posting, here's a review for The Incredible Hulk:
I really enjoyed this movie. Other than a few random editing glitches (characters sitting and suddenly standing and facing each other between camera changes) I can't really fault it. I'm not a fan of CGI, but I've become resigned to the fact that this is the new medium, and I do like Hulk's new look.
I wasn't a fan of Liv Tyler's bangs though. I think she's a gorgeous woman, and the bangs weren't horrible, but she's had better looks. I was honestly surprised that she played a good portion of the comic relief. All the roles I've seen her in have been pretty serious characters. Maybe I just haven't seen enough of her. Hmm... I'll have to fix that.

Slayre Says: 4.7 out of 5


Love,
Slayre

Nerd Day!

Dear Superpeople,

Today, I offer up Kelley Armstrong's Bitten:

Have to comment on the cover for a second... this was the year of women's naked backs. Every series I read had a woman with a naked back... I have no idea why... I suppose it was a marketing ploy to attract people that think backs are sexy.

At any rate, this is the first of Kelley's Women of the Otherworld series, and once again, it features the supernatural. In this case, it's a werewolf named Elena. I don't want to give you too many details, but this is definitely one of my favorite series. Click the blue link above the picture to read the prologue.

Love,
Slayre

Super Scorpio

Dear Kitties,

Well, it looks like this week isn't going to be fun, but it's ok. I'm going to go see some belly dancers Saturday. Yum.

Scorpio, horoscope.com says: The daytime will be easier than the evening, but the daytime will bring its problems too, thanks to a slightly aloof mood. Offers of help from you will be appreciated, but knowing when to step in and make that offer will be the challenge. A friend could make life a little harder than it needs to be!

Slayre Says:
Tonight's going to suck. The day's going to suck too, but not as bad as tonight. Be sure to offer your assistance, but don't make it too easy. Make them sweat first. Make it seem like you won't help them, and just before they fail miserably, swoop in and save them. They'll think you're awesome, but don't make it seem like you could have helped them from the beginning, or they might not remain a friend.

Disclaimer: Just because you like something, it doesn't mean it need to go inside of you.

Slayre's Fortune Cookie: It's pointless to read your horoscope at the end of the day.

Love,
Slayre

P.S. I don't know why, but google won't let me adjust the font color today...

Music Monday!

Dear Sharp Shooter,

I'll just say that little girls can be bitches. Work was not fun today...

Speaking of bitches (in this case, in a good way), Slayre's Music Recommendation today is Kittie:


Yeah, they've been around for forever, but they still kick ass. They're considerably more hardcore than the other groups I've posted here, but sometimes you just need that. I enjoy having these sexy ladies scream into my ears when I'm working out. Screaming, mmm. Sexy, mmm...

Fun Friday!

Dear Selfish,

I just finished the first week of work! Only seven left! I want to go celebrate yet another meaningless milestone, but I just don't have the energy.

Smokin' Barrels

This week's game is yet another simple concept: the duel. Just follow the in game instructions, and you'll be fine. Want a tip? Don't use your prize money on the bonus games until you've won all the duels.

The only downside to this game is that the difficulty level goes up by about 100% if you don't have a mouse rather than the laptop touch pad, but it's still possible to beat.

Love,
Slayre

Lickable Libra

Dear Skinwalkers,

I tried Abita's Turbodog just now. Not really a fan of it...

Anyway, Libra, dailyhoroscope says:
A rebellious streak could affect your career now--careful. Your sense of independence may tend to kick over the apple cart and upset everything. Your progress and success may be at the expense of your more unconventional tendencies--a source of struggle. You prefer a career that accents your own devotion to the dreams and ideals you stand for these days. Working with groups in a spirit of cooperation is a natural. Everything conspires to value and brings out your unique and unusual qualities. You may find that someone close to you understands and is supportive of your eccentricities. You could come up with new solutions. There is an opportunity this evening to understand a difficult person; you listen and love.

Slayre Says:
Stop being so damn selfish.

Disclaimer: Yeah, it was a cop out, but I'm tired.

Slayre's Fortune Cookie: Cat go boom!
Love,
Slayre

Nerd Day!

Dear Stalkers,

Sorry for the lack of post yesterday. The internet company decided to not record that we paid our bill so they cut it off. It's ok though, its fixed.

Ok, so for today, I'm going to recommend Patricia Brigg's Moon Called:

This book is about a chick mechanic who happens to be able to turn into an coyote at will. Oh, the Alpha of the local werewolf pack lives next door and keeps hassling her. This is the first in a series of (so far) 3, and although this first one is great, they keep getting better. Click on the link in blue above to read a sample chapter!

Love,
Slayre

Music Monday!

Dear Snipers,

So, I finished my first day of work today and I can officially say that making corn husk dolls isn't fun after the first one or two. On the upside, my job means I get to play around all day and dig random holes in the ground with the kids.

On this week of Music Monday!, we'll be taking a look at Girl in a Coma:
This Latina hotties are based out of San Antonio, and they are set to repeat on my MP3 player. They're my new Music Girlfriends, I love them so much. Of course, they don't know that. Ok. It might be a little creepy, but its not like I'm stalking them honest. I mean, I don't even know what they wore yesterday. Well, Phanie's top was really cute and Jenn's shoes were amazing. Can't forget about Nina's though... her underwear was super sexy... I mean, from what I could see through the window.

Anyway, stop by their Myspace page (it's linked in blue about the picture for your convenience) and give them a listen!

Love,
Slayre
