Smell Ya Later...


Movie #1

Perfume

I've wanted to see this movie since 2006 when it was in theaters and I'm not sure if I was just to lazy to go see it or purchase it now that it's on DVD, or I truly was not ready to sit through a period piece.

Whatever the case, the film tells the tale of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, who has an uncanny gift to identify any smell within miles.

He's loner and seemly so with a gift like his.

His nose eventually catches a scent that he can neither shake nor ignore.

The scent of a woman....

Now, I don't want to give you the play by play of how he comes to be a perfume connoisseur unlike any other, but lets just say it's deadly.

Haven't Shed a Tear Yet...



Sitting here laughing to myself, because all is good in Miss X's world as of now.

I couldn't be happier with where I am in my life at this very moment.

When I told y'all that all I ask for are just the basics, I truly meant it.

Love, laughter, and happiness.

Mastermind...

I don't usually post on fashion.

But...

Is it me or are stylist playing more of an intricate role in a celebrities life.

Take this picture of Rihanna,




She's killing us softly with her fashion, yet I wonder, is it Ri Ri or the woman/man behind the scenes playing dress up on Barbie?

Just a thought...

Is fashion just a bit trite if you have to put excess effort in constantly trying to exceed your effort the day before last?

Or,

Is it just a world of mass manipulation?

I believe the latter.

School's Out for Eva...



OK, you ready...

I'm leaving grad school.

Hold your ooooohhhhhsss and awwwwwws.

It's a move I've been on the fence about for sometime and the one person's opinion that honestly matters to me said,

"Miss X, if you're not happy, leave."

And that couldn't be more true than right now in my life.

At this point and time in I'm not in any mood to be bound by classwork.

I applaud those who seek out higher education post undergraduate.

But it's just not for me.

So, you may be wondering what the hell will I do?

Don't worry folks.

I have a full-time job, a part-time job, and possibly seeking another part-timer to pay for those miserable loans that I've racked up along the years.

People are wondering, how will you have a life if all you do is work?

Welcome to the real world folks. That's all we do.

And plus, I have some tricks underneath my sleeve.

I intend on taking over the world. lol!!! No I really do.

Popcorn Please


OK,

I know, I know, I haven't posted a review on a movie in a few days and your wondering why.

One reason is that I'm just being lazy and are currently posting things that are fresh in my mind, and the second reason is that I honestly haven't been wowed by any of the movies I've seen lately.

I mean I have a Blockbuster worth of films that people could easily rent and I would still have another 100+ movies to peep.

It's an obsession.

Along with the amount of shoes I have, but I'll save that topic for another post.

No, I really will, it's gotten bad, really bad.

Anyways the movies that I've seen have been so so.

Lat night I rented Babylon A.D. and The Uninvited.

Yup yup.

Hey RedBox was slacking and ya'll know I'm down for horror and sci-fi anytime.

Star Trek anybody??

On to the movies...

Babylon A.D. stars Vin Disel.(plz excuse the Russian pic.LOL!!!)



**Insert Side Eye**

And plays a mercenary who takes a job transporting a young girl and her keeper to America from Russia. He wants the guap, and she's worth every penny. Along the way however, he realizes that she has a sick gift of never experiencing a damn thing in her life but posses unimaginable amounts of memory of both the past and future.

Overall, movie was OK, not one of my favorites, but it's def great on a cloudy/rainy Sunday afternoon.

I mean, Vin can only play two roles to a "T", and Shakespeare ain't one of them.

As for the rest of the movies I've seen thus far,

I swear I'll do a day of posts dedicated to just them.

Saturday sounds nice.

See ya then folks.
