As My Ass Grows Ever Wider

Rate this Entry
I grossly underestimated what the Christmas rush would be like. I've had 85 orders since Friday. And at least half of them have more than one item.

I haven't left my craft room hardly at all. Last night I stayed up until 5:30am and got back to work at 11:00am today. I'm not complaining though--my craft room is all set up for fun times. In fact, I will now review for you all of the movies I've watched so far this week.

Another Earth - Suddenly, a parallel Earth appears! And then a girl kills an entire family. Oops!
Valuable lessons were learned. I've had a lot of luck picking movies lately that just happen to have good sex scenes.

Atlantis the Lost Empire - Disney movie in which people search for Atlantis.
Moderately enjoyable despite being one of the most predictable movies I've ever seen.

Blue Valentine - Watch a marriage fall apart.
I feel like the goal of the people involved in making this movie was to bum me out. At least they peppered it with plenty of T&A, as if to apologize for what they were doing to me.

Dinner for Schmucks - Steve Carell plays more of an idiot than usual.
The previews for this movie looked bad, but they could not do justice to just how horrible it is. It's like all of those awkward over-the-top Michael Scott [The Office] moments for two straight hours.

Family Tree - Dysfunctional family dysfunctions.
I don't smurfing know. It was decent.

Friends with Benefits - Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake smurf like donkeys.
I watch titty movies for a cheap laugh and a few shots of thrusting man ass. Deal with it. I liked this movie, and slightly more than I liked No Strings Attached too. Which is difficult to say because my number one girl crush is Natalie Portman.

Hall Pass - Owen Wilson gets a week "off" from being married.
This was not nearly as horrible as I had anticipated. Has some nice boob shots.

Hanna - Man raises his daughter in the woods to be an assassin.
I liked the casting in this movie a lot. No majorly interesting plot developments, but enjoyable.

Life as We Know It - People who hate each other adopt dead friends' baby.
What can I say? It's a basic Katherine Heigl movie.

Mr. Popper's Penguins - Jim Carey's ice cold heart is melted by penguins.
There is nothing to dislike about this movie. It's charming and I've had a serious hard on for Jim Carey since I was like twelve. Shut up.

One Day - A glimpse of two people's lives on July 15th, from 1989 to 2011.
This movie was made to smurf with me. And it didn't even have the decency to show me any tits first.

Our Idiot Brother - Paul Rudd is an organic farmer.
And his three sisters are [something rude]. But Zooey Dechanel and Rashida Jones play girlfriends and Paul Rudd is Paul Rudd so all is forgiven.

Rabbit Hole - Their kid died and now they are sad.
Well put together, a lot of emotion that's difficult to portray in a film. And I want their house.

Shrek Forever After - Shrek decides to be a dick.
Why did I watch this?

The Art of Getting By - Artsy boy never does his homework.
I have an affection for stories with sweet, dorky boys.

The Change-Up - A family/career man and an immature manwhore (who are BFFs) switch bodies.
It was funny, despite the opening joke being too titty. Literally.

The Lovely Bones - A fourteen-year-old girl narrates her murder.
I didn't expect a fairly graphic murder movie to feel so... young adult. Well shot and acted, but left me feeling dissatisfied.

The Smurfs - They fall into a vortex and end up in New York.
I didn't hate it. The interaction between the CG and live actors was tit and Vanity (favorite!) was only in one scene, but I'm a sucker.

Winnie the Pooh - Pooh and friends go back to the basics.
If you don't like this movie then I don't like you.

And now to watch more movies while I attempt to finish these orders. I'm desperate to get these orders packed tonight so that I can play Skyward Sword all day tomorrow while BJ's at work. I preordered the special edition and it's just sitting on my shelf, unopened and mocking.

Here's the stuff going out tomorrow. I'm gonna box it up... and then get started on the 30 orders I haven't started on. xP


I'm very sleepy, but I'm glad I finally found something I'm good at... where some dickface can't just lay me off. And I get to watch TV and movies all day. Yay! Regardless, I'm going to officially declare myself reasonably employed. Deal with it.

    I'm very happy for you. I've browsed your stuff and wondered if you take requests but hearing this I wouldn't dare burden you with any such thing right now.

    I'm sure it'll slow down when it gets closer to Christmas. I do custom requests all the time. I did one for sharky here just recently!

    The sun is up... guess I should finish up for the day. xD

    I'm happy business is good.

    I can vouch that she will gladly take requests that are within her realm of ability, and that said request turned out very nice. I was pleased.

    You're right, now probably isn't the best time though.....

    Wow. She mentions me exactly at the same time I mention myself.

    Dumb minds drool alike.

    I agree with all of your reviews, especially the one about Mr. Popper's Penguins. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did, but I did, and nearly cried in the process, too. Also, you should probably check out the Zookeeper. Another unexpected thrill of a movie. xO

    Jim Carey is the best actor ever.

    Eee! You're doing so well! How exciting. And I love your packaging.

    Wasn't Saoirse Ronan INCREDIBLE in Hanna? She blew me away.

    I only started doing this at the end of August--I don't really feel like I've finished the "start up" part yet, and I'm certainly not ready to start building enough inventory to fill a craft fair booth.

    It does sound fun though.

    Thank you and yes she was. It's one of those movies where you forget you're watching an actor and you just see the character.
