Horror Movie Review: Lords of Salem

Last night, I saw Lords of Salem, Rob Zombie's newest movie. Normally, I would definitely say no to anything by Mr. Zombie (due to gore and sheer disturbing imagery) but  I watched the trailer and read some about it and decided it was ok. Here's the trailer for your viewing pleasure if you're not familiar:

So, wow. This movie is absolutely horrible. Totally not worth however much you're willing to pay for a movie and certainly not worth the two hours it takes to watch this movie. Although, Heidi's (Sheri Moon Zombie) apartment was absolutely amazing. My friend and I are enamored with her night stands. Normally I might write a summary of the movie, but I'd rather give you a bunch of stills and allow you to deduce the plot for yourself. I will say, that much like Homeland, everything you think is going to happen happens. Except for the little baby satan who looks like a fat baby pig man. He's a surprise. 'shudder'

Yes, all of these images, plus many more confusing and weird ones happened in the movie. 

On a positive note, Sheri Moon Zombie looked beautiful.

It's over

As I mentioned several times last week, I graduated on Friday. I've been relaxing it up since then and playing with friends and family. Friday night was pretty much the best night ever. It was wonderful. It's amazing to be done and have everything ready to go. I'm really proud of my portfolio. Seeing it printed out was the first time I felt like I can do this. I don't feel like I'm just flailing around, faking it. In the past two years, I've learned so much about design and even more about myself. Next up, finding a job!

The was such a wonderful moment. Ready for the meet and greet to begin

Posing as if my book is the most amazing thing they've ever seen

On Sunday my bridge club/Game of Thrones ladies got me an awesome rainbow cake

Let's just get right into it, shall we?

Love this. I need to keep this in mind as I move from student to unemployed baby designer looking for an awesome job.

I want those shoes!

Bunny!

Love this!

Have a lovely weekend :)

Today is my birthday and I'm printing my portfolio. My part is all done. My printer is printing all of the greens brown, so that's a little frustrating, but it's almost done!

I can't believe this whole process is coming to an end. I already wrote how much my life has changed and all that. It's all so amazing and unbelievable. Now, real life is going to start. Time to find a job. It's terrifying and exciting all at the same time.

Three more days!

Only three more days until graduation! I can't believe it's here. On the one hand, it feels like the shortest two years of my life and on the other hand, it feels like it was the longest thing I've ever been through. 

In the past two years I've grown so much. I didn't know I could work this hard and in working so hard I've learned about myself. I never thought I could stay up for days to get a project done (not recommended) and I learned about humility and patience. I have opinions now. I had them before, but I was really busy gauging what your opinion is and trying to make sure I agreed. So I guess I didn't really have them.

Before, I didn't know what I wanted from life. I didn't have a thing I did. Now I have a path.

I'm so excited/scared/hopeful about the future. I'm trying to focus on the next thing in front of me instead of freaking out about the unknown of employment. I hate not knowing what's going to happen next. But, it's going to work out. And it's probably going to be great.

This week has been rough! I'm in a stress vacuum. But, it'll be over soon and I'll laugh about this time. I'll probably remember it was one of the best times of my life. It's strange how memories change like that. Here are some of the best things I've seen lately (online).


Love this dress from Modcloth! It's the perfect dress to get the season started (even though it's raining and 40 degrees today)

I know this was all over the place a few weeks ago (when I originally saved it, it's been a busy month). It's great, all about the destructing (moan) of Google Reader.



Amazing amazing scarf! I want one

Omg this fox!

Cute Prada perfume ad.



I love this website design for lazymade.com! And, their pillows are cute.

These pictures are amazing. I love that the pattern looks like it's really in the image.

Have a great weekend! I hope spring weather comes back!

Friendship with oneself is very important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

I read this quote this morning, along with one of the little things I read to get my day started positively. I think it's great because I've been working on giving myself a break from the constant negative montage that marches through my brain all day every day.

You're lazy, You suck, You're a screw up, You're never going to get a job, No one will ever love you. These are the things I tell myself all day almost every day. It's exhausting.

On Saturday, I was so stressed out I laid on the couch all day. And I might have cried a little. And I beat myself up. Which makes it worse. I was paralyzed by anxiety and self doubt. It was so horrible. I felt physical pain I was so upset.

I did the most logical thing, took a nap. When I woke up, it was almost 5pm and I felt a little better. I was able to listen to some rationale (from myself, because I was alone all day). I said, "Self, beating yourself up for taking a nap or for not doing any work today isn't going to make the work get done. Beating yourself up for past mistakes isn't going to make today any different. All you can do is change right now."

And, unlike the past, I believed myself. I remembered what a stressful week last week was. So stressful that I probably needed day to lay on the couch and watch 30 Rock to recover. And I reminded myself that I'm in a good place with my school work. And even if I don't get one more thing completed and I only have 8 pieces in my graduation portfolio, it's going to be ok.

Today, I'm working on being a friend to myself. If I treated my treasured friends as horribly as I treat myself, I'd have no friends. The little voice inside who tells me I'm a worthless piece of shit needs to be quieted. Because I'm not a piece of shit. I'm an amazing individual with something unique and amazing to offer, just like everyone I admire.
