Sky Mall

Sky Mall magazine might be one of the most entertaining magazines around. My love for Sky Mall can be compared to that one guy who actually reads Playboy for the articles: Just weird. Most of the inventions are things that one wouldn't even think about needing. Like, I don't play baseball, but do I suddenly need a baseball mitt with a cup holder attached to it? Of course I do. Sky Mall has those items that you'd see in Bed, Bath and Beyond and you'd think to yourself "Why would anyone actually want any of this?" As I'm flipping through the magazine right now, I'm seeing so many items that have nothing to do with me that I have a sudden need for and that I can't imagine life without. Life without that giant map of the United States suddenly seems awful. I don't even smoke cigars, and yet, that smoking jacket looks very stylish. Then, those thoughts start flowing through my head: I don't smoke... but I could wear it on so many occasions! Like when I wake up or eat dessert!" And of course, I start to convince myself the many scenarios when a smoking jacket would be needed, like on Halloween to be Hugh Hefner. And on top of all of these life-changing products, their descriptions ALWAYS get me. "Do you ever have headaches?" Yes! Of course I do! "Are you tired whenever you run?" It's like this product was made for me! "Isn't cleaning up a litter box the worst?" I don't even own a cat, but I could imagine that it is! Tell me more! I actually fell in love with this one product that is especially made to help people with migraines. Have I ever had a migraine? No, but this product revolutionizes the migraine-having world! To be honest, the only product I think is actually useful is the voice-activated R2D2.

Sara's Movie Reviews

Okay, so in the past couple of days, I have watched a few movies. I have watched all three "Harold and Kumar" movies and "I Know Who Killed Me". Honestly, I love those stoner movies. They make no sense, but they are absolutely so entertaining to watch. Oh, and not to mention they're hilarious. Even after a while of watching them, I began to take on the mannerisms of someone who was high. My mom even asked me what I ate for dinner and I giggled "I don't know..."I would however, love to give you my review on "I Know Who Killed Me". For those of you who don't know this cinematic masterpiece (I say this sarcastically... you'll know why in a moment), it's basically a thriller where Lindsay Lohan gets abducted and gets some of her limbs cut off. She is found and in the hospital, she claims to be a girl named Dakota Moss (Silly Lindsay). Here are some spoilers! Dakota is actually a twin who can feel all of Lindsay's pain (which is how she ends up in the hospital) and Lindsay is actually dead? Dying? No one really knows because she is alive at the end looking up at the stars with Dakota. My initial reaction after completing this movie was the following: Wha.....I just.....What the....but I don't understand....twins?.....feeling pain....I don't get it....HOW?!"
Basically, to me, this movie is like a demented sequel to the best movie ever, "The Parent Trap". This movie is that one movie where I can watch it 10000 times and still not understand a single scene. Not to mention that the movie was dark like 90% of the time, so for all I know, I was watching "The Parent Trap". Now that I think about it, I really want to watch that movie again. For years, I thought Lindsay Lohan had a twin. Lindsay has made a movie featuring her "twin" in the thriller and comedy genres. I think she should make her twin appear in even more genres. How about a sci-fi one where she has a twin from another galaxy who looks exactly like her and they were separated at birth and they try to get their human/alien parents back together? Or a drama where her grandmother reveals that she has a twin living in Australia and she has to find her so they can get their parents back together for the grandmother and tears are shed? Oh, or even an adventure film where she finds her long lost twin and they go on a hunt for treasure together, and that treasure brings their parents back together.
Main point, I really want to watch "Parent Trap" right now.
