I recently had my wisdom teeth pulled out. My mouth is in pain, my face is swollen (mostly on my left side), and I've been feeling drowsy because of the Vicodin I've been taking. You'd expect me to be acting weird and shit, but its not too bad. The dentist told me to take half of pills because I'm small. Yet, I still get those moments when I'm really drowsy, dizzy, unconscious, and depressed over stupid things.
The day I got them pulled out felt weird. I couldn't eat or drink that morning. I couldn't even have water! My appointment was suppose to be at 12 PM, but they changed it to 2 PM. My mom and I went there, waited in the waiting room, and sat through 10,000 B.C. while I played Animal Crossing: Wild World. Finally they called me.
I was scared when I went there. I've never been sedated before. I didn't know how it would feel and I was slightly afraid of feeling the pain while the tooth removal was in process.
The surgeon told me to hold a tight fist. I panicked.
Me: *thinking in panic* Ah crap, I hate shots! I don't want a shot!
Surgeon: Whoops, I thought that was a blue vessel.
Me: OH COME ON!
The surgeon shoots my arm.
Surgeon: Whoops, I thought that was a blue vessel.
Me: OH COME ON!
He shoots me again. I freaked out in my head, hating the pain. I had no idea when I would be asleep. Yet, the pain started to disappear and I dozed off without knowing it.
(This is why I can never be a heroin addict. XD)
Just when I thought I was dreaming, I was woken up. A dental assistant, my mother, and the daylight woke me. I was dazed and confused, especially since I was put into another room.
Me: Eh...what happened...? There...was...a wall in front of me...with a picture...and now I'm looking at...a window...
Dental Assistant: We walked you into another room.
Me: I walked?!
Dental Assistant: We walked you into another room.
Me: I walked?!
Heh, I guess I was so sleepy that I couldn't wake up.
They put me in a wheelchair and I was pushed back to my mom's car. I was really tired.
Eating was a bitch, especially since the dentist warned me not to use a straw. I was hungry but I had to have cold soft food, which my teeth are sensitive to. I was also thirsty and I kept spilling water on myself. My mom got me Jamba Juice but I kept bleeding into the drink! I had to settle with puddings.
On Sunday, I got fed up and started drinking with a straw again. XD I'm a straw person, okay?
End of story.
Now here's the greatest thing that happened on Friday:
I FINALLY SAW WALL-E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, finally finally finally, after a year of bragging and gushing about it, which I'm still doing. If you see it, you'll understand why you shouldn't reject my taste in movies. XD Hell, I knew it was going to be amazing way before it was released!
I saw it with three friends of mine. We all liked it. Yet, I was annoyed that they wanted to buy junk food before the film and they kept talking during the film, all while I was trying to soak everything I was seeing.
Before the film, at a Suncoast store:
I left the theater feeling mesmerized.

Before the film, at a Suncoast store:
Friend #1: I wanna buy some Pocky. *takes a box of Almond Pocky*
Me: No junk food! *snatches it*
Friend #2: I want some! Let her get it!
Friend #1: *takes it back* I've been planning on getting it this weekend. Planning ahead is good for dieters.
Me: *sighs*
Me: No junk food! *snatches it*
Friend #2: I want some! Let her get it!

As you can tell, I'm a Nazi when it comes dieting. XD Yet, I failed this time. I swear, if you eat and exercise the same way I do, you'll lose 10 pounds in two weeks. In some ways, I'm a health freak. XD
ANYWAY, back to WALL-E.
ANYWAY, back to WALL-E.
I left the theater feeling mesmerized.
After the film:
Friend #3: Are you okay?
Me: *silent at first but responds* Of course I am! Wow...
Me: *silent at first but responds* Of course I am! Wow...
Here's my crap review of the film. Believe what the critics are saying about it. It IS perfect. Err, done PERFECTLY! I know it, I'm not mindlessly hyping it without thinking about film aesthetics and mis-en-scene. I mean it, I really feel I can never make movies up to par, and I'm usually a perfectionist (unless I don't care about the project XD). Ah crap, now I feel I can never make videos and films again! XD Shit, I look at the screenplay I'm writing and its a piece of crap! XDDD I'm still writing it though (although it should have been done yesterday!). No, I'm not feeling overly depressed and pessimistic right now. Don't worry. Just enjoy my blog, please!
Story-wise, it is a romantic epic for such a film with a small plot. I loved the romance between the cute robots and the satirical aspect of it. I LOVE satirical, post-apocalyptic, dark comedies. :) I don't think the film was very eco-themed, like what most people say. To me, it was more about what consumerism can do to people and the planet. This is where people complained that it was hypocritical.
As we all know, Disney is a big business that does heavy marketing and sells too much shit for the sake of money. Its to a point where I feel they've exploited their own movies without thinking about the quality of them. (Examples: the "cheapquels.") Yet, I should shut up because I love Disneyland and I buy plushies of my favorite Disney characters. XDD People complain that WALL-E is about anti-consumerism but the film is coming from a big pro-consumerist company.
Allow me to explain this clearly. Pixar is an artist-driven studio. Creativity drives the animators, not the money. In this case, Dir. Andrew Stanton decided to put an anti-consumerism theme to the film. So be it. That's his decision, not Disney's.
Now why did Disney decide to distribute the film as it was without going to Stanton and saying "we don't like your movie because it sounds anti-Disney. Change it and add dialog." Well, ever since Michael Eisner left and Bob Iger became CEO, Disney has been relying on Pixar to make them money. They even promoted John Lasseter, one of the founders of Pixar, to oversee all animated features produced. Disney knows that, even though they don't like Pixar's work ethic, their films make the money. Basically, Iger told Pixar "We don't know how you guys do it. Whatever you do, we want it. We won't touch your movies or else we will mess them up and your movies will flop." (He didn't really say it like that, but it was similar.) This happened during Disney's $7.4 billion acquisition of Pixar.
So basically, Pixar is biting the hand that feeds it. Let's not forget that Ratatouille and Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End had similar themes as well.
However, WALL-E isn't exactly about consumerism. Its mostly a love story about two robots. That love story so happens to take place in a bleak future.
Dark satirical themes are things you usually don't get from popular animated features nowadays. I believe Americans are amazed by this film because they've never seen a mainstream satirical, romantic, animated feature before. That's not to say that there has never been an animated movie that made fun of consumerism. (Examples: Over the Hedge and Shrek 2, to cite a few.) Some people are calling WALL-E an artsy film as if it should have played at art house theaters, which is stupid. (That's like calling independent movies second-class citizens.)
I was expecting this film to get this kind of notice because I knew it was going to be a different kind of Pixar film. I hope people will continue to embrace it. After all, it has a lot of heart in it.
I'm planning on taking my mom to see it sometime this week.
Now, is everyone excited about Beverly Hills Chihuahua?! XDD

It is very difficult to take the pills, vicodin in this case we are gaining control of our body, we must remain very careful and not fall and hang on to drugs, always remember to look at this couple and for our future. I read findrxonline certainly are very addictive and so we need to know control.
