Pregnant Miserable Self Pitying Loser Pie

Cake - Short Skirt Long Jacket
I just recently watch the film Waitress, staring Keri Russell, better known as Felicity, and this song has been stuck in my head ever since. There's no wonder I like watching the trailers when they show all the highlights, without the boring facts. It's like reading Spark Notes, and still getting an A plus plus. Of course being the film-o-holic that I am, the trailers only keeps my addiction in check. It's the main attraction that keeps my skin from jumping off my pale and pasty flesh, such uber satisfation you couldn't even begin to comprehend. "Waitress was a let down, but I still watched it" Pie.
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows whats best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes
I want a girl with the right allocation
Whos fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack
Shes playing with her jewelery,
Shes putting up her hair
Shes touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt,
And a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong jacket
Don't we all...

The Eye Of An Eagle... Plus A Few Of His Own

Det forrige innlegget ble litt vel langt så jeg så meg nødt til å dele det i to. I promised you three Itts and by gone it you'll get three Itts!

I think the previous post was an excellent introduction for my second Itt. Seeing as Tim Curry connects the two films, ever so slightly. He played Pennywise in IT, and Gomez in The Addams Family Reunion *snap snap*, which is the third of the Addams films. If you're a fan or just a friend I probably won't have to tell you the films are based on an American television series shot in black and white, in the late 60's (1964-1966 to be exact). The series ran along side it's rivail ,The Munster (another brlliant series) sadly they both only managed two seasons before they were cancelled. The series basing itself on the characters in Charles Addams' New Yorker cartoons.

"Just the kind of day that makes you feel good to be alive!"

I give you my childhood.

The Addams' are a closely knit family with macabre quirks, where the humor itself is based on a culture clash between them and the rest of the world. The over enthusiastic Gomez, is passionatly in love with his wife, Morticia, or should I say ''Cara Mia'', who is cultivated and ravashing. Together they share a twisted, yet romantic relationship that really has to be exsperienced. They have two childeren; Wensday and Pudgsley. Later on in ''The Addams Family Values'' (film nr.2) they're blessed with a third member Pubert. Wensday is the youngest, and likes to play with guillotines, beheading dolls called ''Marie Antoinette'', and ''Little Red Riding Hood''. Also seemingly trying to kill her brother, "Is there a God?". Pugsely is just like his ol' Uncle Fester, often playing with explosives and electrisity. Of course it's Gomez' cousin that really brought this post to life.


Cousin Itt. A short entity completly hidden by his head to floor long hair. He speaks fast unintelligible gibberish in a high pitch voice, and naturally the family understands him perfectly. In the films he doesn't get that much screen time. While in the series he is a frequent visitor, and we're able to get a closer look at his life and personality. In the series we learn that he wears sunglasses so that poeple won't bother him for autographs. He is greatly adored, a carefree bachelor with an extravagant lifestyle. Although he's not a main character he has become a personal favorite, something that could very likely be because of my fixation on the Addams.

TheGr3yZon3:
Oh before I forget the third Itt is my previous boss. Yeah he kicks ass.

They're creepy and they're kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
They're all together ooky,
The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum
Where people come to see 'em
They really are a scream
The Addams Family.

(Neat)
(Sweet)
(Petite)

So get a witches shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Addams Family.

Det er ingen hemmelighet at dette er verdens mest amatør-aktig blogg. Merkelig nok bryr jeg meg ikke. Likevel syntes jeg det er merkelig om ukjente plutselig stumbles over my site og faktisk bruker den dyrebare tiden sin til å lese et par fullstendig uoriginale tanker. That been said skal jeg innrømme at jeg ikke vet hvorfor jeg skriver dette. Heldigvis (for deg) hadde jeg bestemt meg på forhånd å ikke slette noen tanker fra dette verdigfulle innlegget. Gled deg. Hoved pÅenget jeg ville snakke om idag står mellom Robin Williams, Nicholas Cage eller It. Needless to say the choice was easy.

All things named It skråstrek Itt. To fantastiske figurer titter frem bak alt rotet jeg har i hodet, når jeg tenker på dette "navnet". Den første er selvfølgelig Cousin Itt og den Tredje er filmen It fra 1990. The year of my birth, kanskje det står på et sånt året du ble født kort? La du merke til at hjernen min skrev tredje istedenfor andre? I didn't until it was tooooooo L to the 8. Oh B2TheW. Dersom du kjeder deg kommer ikke dette til å hjelpe på humøret. I'm sencing this is a two parter...
First off. Filmen It featuring the Pennywise the dancing clown. Tilfeldigvis er Pennywise tatt rett ut fra en Stephen King novelle, noe jeg ikke var klar over før fem sekunder siden. Thank god for Google, jeg har nemlig ikke sett begynnelsen. YET!

Pennywise er noe av det uhyggelige jeg har sett, spesielt når man var smart nok til å se filmen nede i kjelleren. I et tomt hus. I mørket. Kvelden etter the infamous dukke drømmen (om jeg gidder, lager jeg vel et innlegg om Mr. I can turn my head all the way around while holding a knife). Anyway, Tim Curry spiller Pennywise and it's worth mentioning that the actors later admitted that he's characterization of Pennywise was so creepy and realistic that everyone avoided him during the film. So maybe just maybe it's not that peculiar that I scream like a little girl, shaking with fear. Eventually choosing to sleep on the couch, while holding on to a pillow for dear life. I 2004 skrev Radio times magazine at ''It'' var det skumleste programmet noen gang vist på teve. It var opprinnelig en miniserie.

The film's about a group of kids who somehow manage to defeat a source for evil that killed several children in the small town, a force that manifested itself in the smouldering clown, Pennywise. (Tim Curry is frightful but I'd still take his hand in... death?)thirsty years... I mean thirty years later, the same murders begins, and the now grown up kids have to once again unite, in order to kill it... Or it will certainly kill them. I really love this flick, the ending is so sad though, with a dash of lame. It practically goes against every rule in the book.

Now, clowns are usually a little freaky, but in the hands Tim Curry they're downright terrifying. Curry is of course no stranger to frightening make-up (Legend), delivering just the right amount of malice as the personification of an evil force that preys on Derry, Maine, every 30 years. Of course Pennywise is not only scary but extremely cuddly I just want to give him one big hug and never let go.

Don't you just want to hold him?

When it comes to the "Loser club" my favorite characters are Eddie Kaspbrak played by Adam Faraizl as a kid, as an adult by Dennis Christopher. and twelve year old Richie Tozier played by Seth Green, as an adult by Harry Anderson. I wonder who I'll like best in the book. Richie with his jokes, and Eddie with his wavy hair, and sugarwater placeboes.

Eddie's the nervous momma's boy with the alergies. But as a part of The Losers Club he learns to grow outside those boundaries. Pennywise came to him in the school shower, which was already a big anxiety for him because of his mother. IT also appeared to the now grown Eddie as the old storekeeper who first told him he didn't need his asthma puffer.

Richie's the joker of the gang, and becomes a successful comedian when he leaves Derry. The movie "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" starring Michael Landon really scared Richie. So IT used that against him and appeared as the werewolf from the movie. And when he returned as an adult, Pennywise appeared in the library and got him in the face with a balloon full of blood. Catchy huh? But really the whole gang is cute, I adore them all.
TheGr3yZon3:
Pennywise - Pennywise
Pennywise has had quite an impact on the world, indeed. In 1988 Jim Lindberg, Fletcher Dragge, Byron McMackin, and Jason Thirsk formed the American punk band Pennywise.

Clear your mind, hide your fear
Don't look around, don't turn around pennywise is here
Hold your feelings, hide your fear
Don't look around, don't turn around pennywise is here


Evil lurks in his eyes
The clown they call pennywise
He'll catch you by suprise
The clown they call pennywise


He's a monster, he's not human
He's more than just a figment of your imagination
You can't run, can't hide
There's no way to escape pennywise

Evil lurks in his eyes
The clown they call pennywise
He'll catch you by suprise
The clown they call pennywise

He'll creep inside your soul at night and torment nice and slow
Don't turn around or look around Pennywise will know
He'll make you wish that you were dead and make it hard to cope
He'll make you wish that you were dead and hanging by a rope

Evil lurks in his eyes
The clown they call pennywise
He'll catch you by suprise
The clown they call pennywise


Clear your mind, hide your fear
Don't look around, don't turn around pennywise is here

Action is character

Da var det min tur til å blogge, etter utallige klager vel og merke. Hovedgrunnen har vært at bloggster ikke ville la meg 'logg on'. Holdt nesten på å lage en ny blogg. Den skulle hete: "Bloggsterwouldn'tletmyinsoImadeanewblogg.com' litt sweet revenge, men så fant jeg ut at 'It's not bloggster, it's me', med andre ord hadde jeg skrevet feil brukernavn. Sånt skjer når man er fjern og har et kilometer langt brukernavn. Merker at dette begynner å bli litt tørt, derfor tar jeg er brå sving akkurat her. Så hold på hatten og fasten you're seat belts. It's going to be a bumpy ride!

First on today's agenda er vel Jeppe. Endelig Endelig kom han ned fra Trondheim og da var det ikke annet å gjøre enn å leke med han, inntil han dro på tirsdagen. DØD OG FORDÆRVELSE! Ble vant til å ha han her nede, men vips så var han vekk. Så da sitter jeg på msn, atter en gang. "Like sand through the hour glass so are the days of our lives." On a brighter note så er det bare 9 dager til vinterferien. Som vil bestå av frihet, Jeppetid og Tinkatime, det blir bare ikke bedre enn det. Må si jeg gleder meg, det blir andre ferien jeg har hatt uten foreldre. Så bare det er grunn nok til å være spent, men jeg kommer til å se Jeppe igjen og det liker vi. har jeg sagt jeg gleder meg? Får også sett kusinene min, så det var på tide at jeg tok meg turen opp. Spesielt nå som jeg vil studere langt der oppe i nord. Fingers crossed. Tenker jeg vil søke medisin, kjemi, historie, engelsk, kunst og drama. Not nessesarily in that order. Må nok kutte litt ned på den listen der ja.
Sett bort ifra vinterferien, gleder jeg meg til to filmer, som i min formening kommer til å være årets, om ikke tiårets filmer; Benjamin Button, som jeg har snakket om før på den forrige bloggen og Milk som jeg har holdt litt for meg selv. Herr. Button spilles av Brad Pitt, en skuespiller som jeg har begynt å få et fint forhold til. Ettersom han spiller i to av favoritt filmene mine, nemlig ''Meet Joe Black'' og ''Interview with a Vampire''. Filmen baserer seg på ''The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'' skrevet av F. Scott Fitzgerald (link til novellen) Det er en veldig søt historie om en gutt som blir født gammel og sakte blir yngre og yngre. Det er også en hjerteskjærende kjærlighets historie med en helt twisted tankegang om alderdom. Skulle ønske jeg kunne starte old and wrinkeled for så og die young. Om det hadde vært slik tror jeg ikke vi hadde vært like redde for å dø. Det er ikke kun uvissheten, men også det faktumet at mennesket råtner, for å si det rett fra leveren. Man dør ikke akkurat med stoltheten i god behold. Festet opp mot en maskin, avhengig av piller og gudene vet hva annet. Å dø er noe man gjøre alene og det er derfor jeg er redd for ljåen, men nå ble dette litt dystert.

Moving on... Milk er en slags biografi som omhandler Harvey Milk. Den første åpne homofile mannen som fikk en høy stilling i den offentlige administrasjonen i Amerika og det hele skjedde i år 1977 i San Franscico. Hvor han kjempet for de homofiles rettigheter. Etter valgt fikk han hundrevis av brev, et der det sto "I thank God, I have lived long enough to see my kind emerge from the shadows and join the human race." skrevet av en 68 år gammel lesbisk dame, men som vanlig fikk han også 'hatemail' slik som dette: "Maybe, just maybe, some of the more hostile in the district may take some potshots at you — we hope!!!" Året etter ble han skutt sammen med byens borgemester. The good always die young... Han ble trakasert og truet, men trodde på likhet for alle og lot det være drivkraften bak handlingene sine. Selv om flertallet var imot han, lot han det ikke være ett hinder. I filmen spilles han av Sean Penn, som er helt fantastisk. Enough said, punktum! Nå begynner det å blir ganske sent, men nå skjønner du kanskje hvorfor jeg har gledet meg sånn til februar. Merete signing off.

“If a bullet should go through my head let that bullet go through every closet door.”

It's Hard To Be A Nisseman!

Ja nå er det hele TO uker siden sist jeg blogget, så nå er det ganske mye press på meg. Må blogge, men om hva? Jo nå skal du høre! Tenkte jeg kunne blogge litt om alt og ingenting. Du har kanskje alt lest random thougts innlegget mitt lenger nede... Nå kommer random thoughts part 2. Lights! Camera! ACTION!

Gikk igjennom bildene fra America, og fant denne lille rakkern her. bilde av en helt random plakat. It's calls to me!

Ja nå er det jo snart jul, (norge er kul fordi vi feirer den 24 istedenfor den 25 slik som alle de andre sell-out'ene dere ute i verden, yes you all know who you are!) det er hele 7 dager igjen og flink som jeg er startet jeg på julegavene igår. So one down seven to go, bestemte meg for å ikke kjøpe gaver til hver eneste sjel jeg kjenner i år, har jo ikke råd til slikt spesielt ettersom jeg FREMDELES ikke har fått lønn. Et evig slit, spør du meg, men gleder meg til imorra. For da skal jeg handle ferdig julegavene, sammen med Mrs. Mebumbelbee Igor. Snart juleferie og vet du! Det blir bra ladde opp batteriene og kose seg med familie og venner.

Liker dette bildet Arthur Miller and his love Marilyn Monroe

Hadde engelsk tentamen idag det er den morsomste tentamen jeg har hatt på lenge. Vi kunne skrive om filmer så jeg var jo i himmelen. skrev om "The Crucible" av Arthur Miller. Elsker det skuespillet! Andre ting jeg elsker er Herr. Gene Wilder. Har nettopp kjøpt to filmer med han; "The Poducers" og "Young Frankenstein". Noe av det morsomte jeg har sett, aldri i mine lange dager har jeg noen gang sett maken til skrøner, det ene gullkornet etter det andre. Gleder meg til de ligger i postkassen, nesten som et lite barn på juleaften! Når det gjelder the producers liker jeg både den orginale fra 1968 og den fra 2005, men tenk om det to kunne blandes en film med Gene Wilder OG Nathan Lane! Hellig kopp kaffe der har vi drømmen...

Young Frankenstein en helt FANtastisk scene<3

It's a luscious mix of words and tricks

SoNg Of ThE wEeK!
Caring is Creepy - The Shins
Every line is pure perfection, and don't even get me started on the melody. I'll never get tired of this song, or The Shins for that matter.

Yesterday, or was it yesterday.. My memory is deleting itself... Anyway the point is, I say Fame, the movie RECENTLY, and I had fairly high expectations. I mean it's Fame I expected something mindbogglingly awesome. Instead it was a major disappointed. the movie in itself was good, I loved the plot and the characters. I just felt i didn't get the closure i needed. What happens to Ralph Garcy, does he survive the industry? Does Leroy pass Mrs. Sherwood's class. What about Bruno, is the world ready for his music? Does Doris hit it big? And what about Montgomery the guy with all the monologues... My personal favorite. I need to know! The movie just cuts off, it leaves you empty and feeling cheated. Nonetheless I'm still going to watch it agian.

The Labyrinth

Seeing as I love this movie as much as I do I'm going to post the trailer, and hope you love it as much as I do.

I have two favourit scenes, the first is the masquerade. Up until then Jareth has spend his time taunting and eluding Sarah, making her quest fairly miserable. She's looking for him in a crowd of masqueraders and he brushes past her, laughing at her, even teasing her. Suddenly there she is standing right infront of him, and she's all he wants. He's hers onehundred percent. It's so romantic it makes my head swim.

The second is near the end when he sings within you. Sarah is so close to completing her quest in getting her step brother back. It's Jareth's last etempt.




OH! Let's not forget the little worm in the beginning, so much fun!

RaNdOm ThIs AnD RaNdOm ThAt...

Today I really feel like posting something, the only problem is I don't know what so bare with me. I guess I could always just write completely random facts about myself, yes that sounds good. Let’s see...

Random Fact nr.1 when I was about 6 or 7 years old I saw The Labyrinth for the very first time and was completely taken by the goblin king (played by David Bowie) I saw it was a Disney movie and I thought if we left that instance, I could meet him. Well that was my first crush, and it wasn't even in a real guy or maybe it was. Anyway I guess I've always like Mr. Bowie (Even though I pronounced his last name wrong for a while)



Jareth The Goblin King<3



Random fact nr.2 I sing the weirdest songs, in the most awful tones you have ever heard. Yes I am the worst jukebox known to man. You know what? Like it!

Random fact nr.3 I like reading useless facts, it's also the one thing I know will infuse itself to my memory as well, forget about when Benjamin Franklin was born, or for how long Norway was under Danish rule. The stuff I remember is for example; George Clooney's cousin, Miguel Ferrer, appeared as a guest star on ER. Fascinating right? Even his aunt Rosemary was on the TV series. Did you know that Christian Bale lost his voice three times during the filming of Batman Begins, due to altering his voice? You didn't know that did you? Here’s another useless film fact. Brad Pit chipped a tooth while filming Fight Club, but didn't have it capped until after the filming was over because he felt it added to his character. Now that dedication... There are tons more where that came from.

Random Fact nr.4 Google is my friend. It’s true I Google and re-Google everything, even things I already know. Hello, my name is Merete, and I'm a Google-o-holic. *tearage*

Random Fact nr.5 before I go to bed while brushing my teeth I normally spend stand in front of the mirror and make faces, and if I'm really bored I get out my eyeliner and draw on the mirror. It’s really is fun.

Random fact nr.6 this is probably more a "secret pastime" I watch Hanna Montana it's not like I run to the television set the second it's on. It's more that don't switch when the program starts.

Random Fact nr.7 Sometimes I run outside the second it's raining and don't go back inside until I'm downright soaking wet, I love the rain<3





Random Fact nr.8 On occasion I have a tendency to read Norwegian books in English and the other way around, it even takes a couple of seconds before I realize it.

Random Fact nr.9 I’ve always wanted to take a bath in a tub full of aloe vera, specially when I'm sun burnt, which is every summer...

Random Fact nr.10 I'm a serious pack rat, I mean it! Its and on-going battle, you should see my room. I struggle with throwing things out, but I am getting better.

Random Fact.11 I have this tick where I don't like to use things. For instance I just bought a new graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and it feels as though I'll die if I open it all the way or it gets scratched. This is also the reason I don't like lending things to others, the item always comes back looking like an old whore... *eye twitch*

Random Fact.12 I'm very paranoid! I think the whole world is trying to get me, and there are ninja-spies all-over the place. Who'll attack me the second I turn around. Okay I'm not that bad but I just heard a sound and I ran though the whole house with my teddy bear, Oh, the damage I could have done! You’d think that after all the horror movies I've seen, I'd have learned that one should NEVER go towards the sound...
Random Fact.13 I have a thing for bad guys. In every movie, book or comic book, the bad guy is always more appealing to me. Of course there are a few exceptions, for example L in Death note is better than Kira. This seems like a good time to tell you about my huge crush on Lestat, he's not really the bad guy but I just really wanted to mention him. A random fact within a random fact, can it get more random then that? I think NOT!

Lestat played by Stuart Townsend, in Queen Of The Damned

Lestat, played by Tom Cruise, in Interveiw With A Vampire

Random fact nr.14 I like sleeping in confined spaces... enough said.

... And that concludes my random babble of randomness!

Seeing as I've listened to this song the whole time I was writing this, it seems only fitting to post it as the soundtrack. I actually wanted it to be the song of the week but you know it's going to be both!
Song of the week/ Soundtrack:
I Kissed a Girl - Katy Perry

Uncle Anesthesia

Such as a simple drug-induced loss of consciousness , my life has become nothing more than several memories, strung together. Now! don't get me wrong it forms a rather handsome life, just roll with me. It's peculiar how one sift through ones memories, how yesterday can seem like an eternity, while memories from ones childhood. I say childhood knowing rather well I have only lived 1/4 of my life. Can be as vivid as waking up and going to school. Memories, memories lost, memories gained and memories created. The human brain is fascinating; One can be trapped inside ones thoughts, but still be kept from the truth...

Well I know this seems like a bunch of gibberish, still the human brain does interest me. How it can suppress the traumatizing, accentuate the life-altering, forget the useful, and remember the nonsense. To some degree it's funny if you think about it, you can remember every television program you've ever watched to the teeniest tinniest little detail, but when you need to know why the roman epire fell, your mind draws a blank. come to think about it, it's downright irritating! When it really matters you mind isn't worth the time of day. how many times have you been dragged into a discution or an argument and ended up looking like the fool? More importantly, how many times have you realized what you should have said later on? Of course it then being to late. I could kick myself, better yet my mind for signing out the moment I really need it. Don't misunderstand, I'm not socially incompetent. I just overthink every little detail until my mind reaches the point of imploding.
I believe you just witnessed one of my classic derailings, now where was I? you know what I'm just gonna leave you hanging. I think you've got the drift of what I'm trying to say...

So I'm moving on to Song of the week! '
Song of the week: "Uncle Anaesthesia" by Screaming trees
Film of the week: "Twelve Monkeys".
Creature of the week is... Drum roll please! is coming soon to a blog near you. It's evil to keep you in the dark but I think you'll be just fine.
