Renee is lazy, but not as lazy as Gab

Hi there everybody. Unfortunately I am going away for two weeks, and since I have been the only one attempting to carry the blog these last few months (everyone's thinking it Gab!) the updates are going to be even slower and fewer between than usual. Which I apologize for, but I am determined to pick up the slack with mucho gusto when i return so that I can once again be laudable (word of the day - it means praiseworthy, no big deal.)

I will miss all our readers aka Danielle. Look forward to well versed in etiquette picking up its metaphorical socks when I return.

Renee's predicament

Told entirely in third person.

So today Renee woke up and decided to feng shui her room since no one wanted to hang out with her (fingers pointing at you Gab). She sprung out of bed and took everything out if it's place before realizing that cleaning her room was not, in fact, what she had wanted to do all along, but that it was actually to go make herself a chicken and mayo sandwich. She vacated her room, leaving her bed piled high with three feet of junk that had been stored in the dark corners of her room.

Well! This landed her in a quite a predicament, as the title suggests. She is now officially bedless, since for some obscure reason her parents who worked all day and her Grandmother at the spry age of 87 do not feel like vacating their beds for one short night. How dare they.

So now she has a number of choices. Admittedly, this is not the first time this has happened. Her teachers said her attention span would improve over time. Her teachers were wrong.

Last time Renee bunked in the bathtub with very unsuccessful results, the worst of which was a strange sound made by her neck whenever she turned her head to the left for the next week or so. She is currently still deciding, but she is leaning towards setting up camp underneath the dining room table, because it gives her natural shelter and muffles the sound of those insane people who rise and shine at seven in the morning.

She's off to find some blankets to fashion her measly fort. Don't feel bad for her or anything. (Please do)

P.S. Why is it that Kevin Bacon is so good at playing mental cases? And why is it that Renee chose this, of all nights, to watch a highly disturbing movie about Kevin Bacon becoming invisible and raping/murdering people, including my beloved Grunny? (Murder only with that one.) Poor Grunny. No tearing it up in that movie. His bloddy carcass reminds Renee of his sad fate on Lost - and on that note, she's off the sleep in the empty, creaking dining room.

ZQ on Lizze Maguire

Haaaa. Made my day. I love him even more now.



Renee Out.

PS: This is a horrible show.

One more ZQ

I like the Jonas Brothers one, and the last one, if it's real.

I understand that I post many a-video lately about my new bf Zachary Quinto but that is because he is awesome. He made this movie, isn't he awesome? Answer, yes he is. Also, my friend Grunny is in it.



I'll try and contain myself from posting too many more.

New Hottie/Musician Wednesday

So I kind of already featured the guy, Brendan Hines (aka Eli Loker) but that was before I found out he was a musician, so now I have to refeature him.

He's pretty good. Not fantastic or anything, but fine. Here's my favourite song by him so far (I haven't listened to all of them yet.) And I think it's pretty funny that his "band" is called "The Brendan Hines" but then it's just him.



His lyrics are topnotch, the music's just a little - meh. I don't know, I'm just picky. But I still want to marry him:)

Also, I hate it when people take songs and then add a bunch of pictures to it and are like "look I made a video, rate, subscribe!" and then people have to view it so they can hear the song but then that person thinks people think their video is cool and keeps making more.

Did I also mention I hate spelling errors? Pretty sure I've beaten that one into the ground by this point, but nonetheless I really really do. Especially when they're my own I hate them.

Lack of updates = slack bloggers

Sorry, dear voracious readers - I know you have been crying yourselves to sleep over the lack of updates. We'll try to improve, but alas, we were very busy, and only getting busier. I know, how dare we have lives, right?

I do have a question. If anyone were to read this and respond they could answer me this - are there any new shows starting in the fall that sound like something Renee might be interested in? If so, let me know please. I don't watch enough tv (joke)

Speaking of tv, already mentioned I am sure, but I love Heroes and by Heroes I mean SYLAR aka Sylo. We are in love and we are getting married and that is the end of that.

I also love this guy, but in a different way:)



This video makes me smile every time, as does the one of Adrian Pasdar aka Nathan Petrelli laughing hysterically over "Dramatic Chipmunk" for like five minutes. Poor sleep deprived underpaid (ha!) actors.

I'll try my best to update more, I really will.

Harry Potter movie review

Five stars! Or...isn't it only out of four in movies? I always forget. Well, anyways. The full amount of possible stars!

The movie exceeded my expectations (which means I can take Potions from Slughorn, haaa). It was way funnier than any of the other ones, the cinematography was great, and it was edited perfectly. There were no scenes that I missed, and there were none that I found superfluous.

Highlights: Harry high on Felix Felicis, Ron high on love potion (this movie seems to promote drug use. Stay clean, kiddies), Ron in the hospital scene, Luna's lion hat, the Quidditch parts and all of the special effects.

Who knew Daniel Radcliffe had comedic timing? All the acting has improved immensely, even hermione. She barely annoyed me this movie!

The special effects were ridiculous and DID I MENTION THAT DRACO MALFOY GOT SEXY? I don't know how or when but suddenyl he is such a fox. I think it's the combination of a side part, angst and a tight black suit.

Only downsides: my BF Dean didn't get enough screen time. However, for once they utilised Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman. Remember last movie when they were each in like one scene? LAMME.

Slughorn guy is funny too.

What a great movie!

Intellectual Mind Sex

Renee has been reading poetry lately. Here are some favourite excerpts (I love the word excerpt. It just looks so fancy, you know? Like there are so many sounds that should be pronounced but then aren't, like a pumpkin tart. BTW I ate my weight in chocolate cheesecake tonight and now I feel more than a little ill. Tangent)

Not a day passes, not a minute or second without a corpse. - Walt Whitman

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper
- T.S. Eliot

what if a dawn of a doom of a dream
bites this universe in two
peels forever out of his grave
and sprinkles nowhere with me and you?
- e.e. cummings

The stars are not wanted now; put out every one,
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun,
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
- W.H. Auden


A young watchman leans at a window and sees the lights
of barges butting their way across a harbor, nets of
red and white lanterns in a railroad yard, and a span
of glooms splashed with lines of white and blurs of
crosses and clusters over the sleeping city.
By night the skyscraper looms in the smoke and the stars
and has a soul.
- Carl Sandburg

Hope that stimulated your cerebulums (word? i don't think so...)

American Idol Concert Tour Review

Well. Well. It's good that I gave myself a few days to calm down before blogging about the tour or it would have basically been a whole lot of unreadable jibberish that looked a little like this - "OMGhgkjk679ADAMLAMBERtgahhh679q9ue8w5789&%*"

Or something to that effect. (Affect? Effect...)

Anyways. The tour was GREAT. I may have even enjoyed it more than last year, because unfortunately David Cook was disappointing. However, no one this year was disappointing (that I cared about.) Adam was FANTASTIC - the energy in the room when he came out was electrifying (good word). Everyone was just so stoked to see him. Seeing him live was different than anyone else I've ever seen live because he was just so...good. Like, inhuman. ELECTRIFYING, if you will.

Allison, Matt, Kris and Scott were all also very good, and there was nobody bad. Megan was the most disappointing, just because she didn't really connect with the audience at all.

The group song was amazing, mainly because RENEE LOVES JOURNEY. That one song, to be more specific (Don't Stop Believin')

And then AFTERWARDS - oh boy. We got to see them and get SO CLOSE TO THEM IT WAS...electrifying. I touched Kris Allen's palm (not creepily, we high fived) and I squished my hand against Matt Giraud's chest (again, not creepily, I was shoved forward by some weirdo behind me - what kind of thirty year old male freaks out when they see Allison Iraheta? Pedophile. He totally pushed some little kids into the barricades. I feared for my life. Tangent.)

Then Adam Lambert stole my book. I was holding it out for him to sing because people held stuff out and then they got signed but I guess no one else was holding anything as weird as "The Sun Also Rises" because his rep misconstrued my gesture and thought I was giving it to him as a gift. She was like "Thanks, he'll love it" and then she took it. I didn't say anything, because I have to say, the thought of Adam Lambert reading my book - or more specifically Gab's book - makes me a little tingly.

So that was basically my American Idol experience, omitting the part where we got lost afterwards, wandered around downtown Vancouver for an hour and had to take a kabuki cab back to our hotel.

Renee's Scary Story

Because this is what happens when she's left home alone.

A beautiful young girl comes downstairs. All the windows are not only open but locked that way. Odd, she thinks, as she goes around closing them. Then she notices that the back door is ajar. Strange, being that it is after midnight. A feeling of unease begins to creep across her flawless skin as she closes the door with porcelain hands. She notices a strange shadow flitting across the back deck. 

To calm her nerves, she goes to the dark computer screen. Although in sleep mode, she notices a recurring "ding" resonating from the computer. Intrigued, she touches the space bar. The screen bursts to life, with a single message flashing repeatedly across the screen. "I'm in the house. Look behind you." No one hears her muffled scream.

NOTE: This story is based on true events. The end part is a figment of my terrified imagination.

Renee's Top 10 Actresses she would look like

NOTICE: Renee will be carrying the blog for a while, since someone is off jetsetting to warm tropical places. I am very upset right now because my Harry Potter 7 book was taken from me today and I will not sleep until I get it back. Also, I feel like my eyes are crossing. I think I need to see an optomatrist (that's definitely not spelled right).

Current events: Cobie Smulders baby's name is Shaelyn Cado Killam.

These are the top ten actresses that Renee would look like. It's split into only two posts because it's not as important as my top ten hotties list was, which garnered ten posts.

1. Lauren Graham


2. Cobie Smulders


3. Evangeline Lilly


4. Olivia Wilde


5. Lizzy Caplan



There seems to be a theme here. They all have wavy brown hair. I wish that my hair was brown and wavy, but alas it is not.

Second installment on its way (apparently you can only post so many pictures in one entry.)
