Disney Channel Movies

So tonight I sat down to watch tv, and when I couldnt find anything else to watch, I settled on Disney Channel. Well, tonight they debuted a new Disney Channel Original Movie. Which after sitting there watching it for almost thirty minutes I started thinking about how much I used to love Disney Channel Movie's, yet now... I find them saddening to watch. So tonight I dedicate this blog to movies long since taken off of Disney's TV Schedule!

1. Susie Q
This was one of my favorite Disney movies of all time. It's about a teenage girl who dies and comes back to life as a ghost and recruits the help of the teenage boy who is now living in her house to help prevent her parents from being evicted from the trailer park they are currently living in. It was taken off of Disney shortly around 2000, and never has been back on since, nor has it been released to DVD.

Smart House
This Disney Channel Movie was kind of an interesting one. It's about a family that wins the chance to live in a house that is completely in control by a computer who ends up taking over because the son programs her to be more like a mom. This one acutually scared me when it first came out as the house takes over and starts to control the lives of those living in it and I was afraid my house might do the same one day.

Alley Cats Strike
This one I was obsessed with for quite some time partly because it came out just about the same time I hit the most obsessive part of my bowling phase. Anyways, this one is about a group of bowlers who have their own way of doing things that gets shaken up when the star athlete of the school joins the team due to a huge rivalry that comes down to a game between the two schools bowling teams.

So I stopped at 3 only because I dont want to bore you anymore than I have. But before I go, let me just say I'm not sure if it's because I'm 18 now or if it's due to the lack of creativity for kids movies but it seems as if the farther away we get from the 80's (the brat pack!... I promise to go into detail on them later) the worse off childrens movies get.

Recent Addiction

THE OFFICE!!!!!

Yep, My new addiction is The Office. I blame peer pressure. Wow... I auctually sound like an addict. Anyways...
I was suggested by multiple people to watch it, and one in particular would talk to me about it constantly, which made me feel completely out of the loop. On New Years Day, I was watching Deal of No Deal and saw that The Office was coming on next and that was basically when it all started. However, I ended up not being able to watch it right after Deal or No Deal, so instead I pulled up an episode on NBC's website. Well the first one I watched was so good, that I watched a second and third one.
So that Sunday I decided to pick up season one from blockbuster after work. I returned it Thursday and picked up season 2. I then watched season 2 and returned it that sunday and picked up season 3. Yesterday I returned season 3 and picked up season 4, and am almost half-way through it already.
Yeah so within the past two weeks basically every spare moment I have had watching The Office. This includes in the background while doing homework, before sleeping, while getting ready for school, and occasionally in student aide (which my teacher finds hysterical because I always used to work in there and now I am suddenly distracted by this TV show)
My addiction has even come so far that I have begun associating the characters in the show with people in my life. (yes I have even found a Jim to my Pam)
Last night my mom and I came home and when I turned on the TV, TBS had The Office on. So while my mom and I ate Taco Bell we watched The Office. My mom watched silently the first episode and the commented on how Michael auctually reminded her of her old boss, which then made the second episode even more comical then normal.
I'm rather happy that I started watching this show as it offers a more comidic outlook then House does. However, do not take that as me saying I enjoy The Office more, as House is still considered my favorite show over anything else. (However, John Krasinski is much hotter than Hugh Laurie, I know shocking right?)

Goodbye '08...Hello '09

So with the New Year upon us I decided to take a moment and reminisce all the things that have happened and the things I'm looking forward to in the upcoming year.

2008:
-ended my junior year and became a senior in high school
-became divisional champion in the 3200 in track and in cross country
-sunset region runner-up for cross country
-top 15 finish at state
-began running with Britt and Heather which was probably the best decision for my training
-started working at RRRC
-went to homecoming for the last time
-became friends with not only my cross country teams new members but also got to know centennials team as well.
-went to my first church dance
-turned 18

2009:
-graduating from high school
-moving to Montana
-enrolling in Rocky Mountain College
-turning 19
-beginning cross country at a higher competition level
-meeting new people and not forgetting the ones Ive met

Overall the start of 2008 was pretty uneventful. It wasn't until I started talking to others and getting out of my shell that I discovered my personality is who I am and that if someone doesn't like how random I am then maybe they weren't really my friends to begin with. So thanks to those who helped with my discovery of that and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
