Man-date Movie Review - Prom Night


What a night. What a movie.

I've never written a movie review before, but this glorious piece of cinematic genius has inspired me. Ok, I'm lying, if this movie was a person it would be Helen Keller, uninspired, pathetic, dumb, retarded, lazy, in no control of its bowel. I'm actually genuinely shocked and concerned that this movie could ever have been made. In fact, I now feel it necessary to say Jew prayers for the salvation of the human race.

'Plot'?: Unforgivably average looking blonde bitch has a stalker. Said stalker kills said blonde bitch's family and goes to jail. Stalker escapes. TONIGHT IS HER PROM!

10 Things I learn't from this movie:

1. If ever your mother is being violently stabbed, hide under a bed and stare.
2. If ever you want to escape from anywhere, be it a maximum security prison, go through the vents.
3. There are no fat kids in high school
4. A few knife wounds to the abdomen will instantly kill you, and you will only bleed a little from your mouth.
5. Turn away and the killer can hide in your blindspot.
6. Your creepy aunt will sneak up behind you when you open your medicine cabinet.
7. If your trying to hide a body.. use the vents.. in the ceiling.. without a ladder.
8. Prom is the time of everyone's life.
9. If you have a nightmare, when you wake up, re-inact the exact same sequence of events.
10. Maintain an 'A' in school after watching your family being killed.

I really could go on, but this movie needs to be seen to be believed.. and I'm lazy.. and writing movie reviews is lame.

My embroidery

To follow up on my last post about the fabulousness of embroidery, here are some of my very own designs.

#10 Embroidery for beginners

What is embroidery? Do you know embroidery? Do you want to learn or do you know the basics but want to learn more? There is so much out there to learn about this craft. Congratulate yourself for taking the first step.

Embroidery is a type of needle work that has grown quite a bit over the years into a popular hobby for many people. It is really not hard at all to learn embroidery. In fact, some people find it much easier than other types of needlework (such as crochet). You can work from a pattern that will help you make many great designs and decorations.

If you want to learn embroidery, there are many books and magazines and even websites out there to help. It is a craft that can usually be learned by looking at directions in a book. If you know someone in person that also does embroidery, this can be very helpful to you for them to show you in person. It can be especially helpful if you find a place that you get “stuck” or need some extra help to figure it out.

When you learnt the basics of embroidery, you will probably want to try more and more. You may want to try harder designs. The best method is to get your hands on as many patterns you like and can find. There are pattern books available at retail and craft stores. You can also find many patterns online.

The great thing about the internet is that you can find many embroidery patterns online for free. You can also find many sites dedicated to the topic that will offer tips and advice. These sites are a great way to meet other people, talk to people about your hobby and learn more and the things you like to do.
