A Tattoo Here, A Tattoo There...

I have never had a huge desire to get a tattoo, but I know if I ever did get one, it would be located on a very concealed part of my body. But then time, age, and body changes might also make them a little less appealing down the road. Belly button tattoos become angry faces; a motorcycle on your thigh becomes a minivan 20 years later; angel wings become hockey shoulder pads, and the lists goes on. I once saw a woman with a computer mouse connected to an Apple computer covering her entire shoulder. 

Wow. 

Definitely take a moment to think about placement first...

Triumph Of Evil

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"

~Edmund Burke

(One of my all time favorite quotes)

1 Too Many

There are many things I love about McDonald's:

• Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Biscuits
• 2 for 1 Apple Pies
• McChicken®
• Happy Meals (but only the boy meals get the cool toys...)

But the recent addition of an order lane to local McDonald's has me grumbling under my breath as I wait to make my order. Unlike the fried food king, Cook-Out, which has two ordering lanes that lead to two different pick-up windows, both McDonald's order lanes merge into the same pick-up window lane. Thus, looks are quite deceiving because your wait time isn't truly cut short. Lanes, from my experience, get backed up as cars lose track of the order sequence or people jam their car into a position that makes it difficult to gradually progress forward, especially during busy times. Add another pick-up window, McDonald's, and those arches will truly be golden.

5 Second Rule Poll

Earlier this week I  posted a tweet on Twitter about a 5 minute deliberation defeating the purpose of the "5 Second Rule". If you know me then you know that I am a huge bit of a germophobe. I cartwheel around cough clouds, I backflip over sneezes, you know, the whole lot. I even have my own arsenal of germ fighting products at my desk at work...in my car...in my purse...

So when I see people pick up food from the floor and then consume it, I cringe and a little voice inside me screams for hand sanitizer. Now, I want to hear your thoughts on the matter.

If your bagel falls on the floor and no one's around to see it, do you...

Underworld: Awakening Review

With a runtime of only 88 minutes, the fourth installment in the Underworld franchise, Underworld: Awakening, packs a punch with action, its fair share of gore, and werewolves on steroids. Seriously. The numerous action sequences were balanced out well with character dialogue and plot build up. The film doesn't linger on plot revelations, but rather addresses them and transitions forward.

The film opens with a brief recap of the past three films and then fast forwards twelve years to vampire Selene's imprisonment and escape from a laboratory. Selene awakes to a world where werewolves and vampires are exposed to humans and humans seek to exterminate both species. Kate Beckinsale returns in the role of the vicious, leather-clad vampire warrior Selene. Known as a "death dealer", Selene dishes out a hearty dose as she escapes from the laboratory in search of her lover, Michael Corvin, and with an odd connection to a pure blood hybrid, Eve, whom she sets out to protect. The battle between vampires and lycans continues as lycans hunt Eve and vampires reject her for fear of imminent lycan danger.


Scott Speedman didn't make a return to this film, and his character, Michael Corvin, had minimal screentime, so the future of his character, remains a mystery. English actor Theo James took up the mantel of hunky male lead who is a vampire with a fighting spirit determined to protect his coven. While not only excelling in the position of "eye candy" Michael Ealy plays a tough as nails, but intelligent human cop who believes there's more than meets the eye to the presence of vampires and werewolves. Up and coming actress India Eisley plays the role of Eve, the pure blood hybrid, and does a wonderful job of portraying a young girl never before exposed to the world outside of a laboratory. This is highlighted when she refers to her own name as "Subject 2". She also plays a fierce force to be reckoned with as she fights to protect herself and Selene.

Underworld: Awakening is definitely a movie I would watch again and recommend to lovers of the Underworld franchise, or just any fans of vampires, werewolves and supernatural fight scenes that will leave your head spinning. I look forward to seeing the next sequel and what the future holds for the main characters.
