Masterpiece Theatre: Bounty Hunter

Posted by Lady Mel On Sunday, February 28, 2010 1 comments

I am still flabbergasted that Jennifer Aniston gets paid millions and millions of dollars for starring and producing the same, repetitive girl-next-door movies. Do not get me wrong. I bet Aniston is a very nice and generous person in real life. But I do not see the talent. Luckily, Scottish heartthrob and actor Gerard Butler signed on to do this Bounty Hunter movie with her coming out March 16th 19th nationwide or I would not even bothered writing this movie critique in the first place.


In the movie, Gerard Butler plays a bounty hunter who must find and arrest his ex-wife (played by Aniston) after witnessing a murder and skipping bail. I know Gerry is going to play his goofy, sexy side, but what about Aniston? Aniston does not come across as a natural funny person, even when I see her on the old Friends episodes. But with Gerard Butler around, I think he will help her out in that department.

Plus, I know that old feelings will resurface between their two characters, so watch out for the sexual chemistry! I predict that this movie is going to make between $30-50 million dollars its opening weekend. Butler has a very strong Internet fan-base and where Gerry goes, the fans and haters will soon to follow. So, if you want some laughs and sexy situations, go watch this movie this March!

The Return: Shoutouts and Important Announcements

Woot! It is good to be back on this blog. I enjoyed my so-called two-week blogging vacation. Now I am here to get back to business. I have so much content and ideas to share with you this upcoming week, it's unbearable! Lets begin:

1.  I want to give another shout out to Andhari for hosting my "Tweetbag Wars" post on her blog. I received  four new followers! Welcome! Make yourself feel at home here. You will not be disappointed and while you are at it, check out my previous blog posts from last year. They will give you a clue to what I blog about on this blog and my writing style. If you have any new ideas or topics you want me to discuss, feel free to email me  or leave a comment a comment. To all my current followers, welcome these newbies with open arms! Feel free to check out each other blogs or websites and socialize! Woot!


2. Last Wednesday (Feb. 17), I had an interview with two representatives of the Marketing Department at the UMDNJ (local hospital) campus for potential volunteer work. The interview went quite well. I networked with my doctor and informed her about my interests in new media and marketing. Luckily, she knew someone in the marketing department and contacted her so that I can set an interview with her and her boss. I truly want to thank her for this opportunity. Networking comes a long way. The two interviewers said I would get a final answer by the end of this week. However, I have not received a phone call or email yet, so I will give them another couple of days until I write my own follow up email.

3. I am almost done with my Apple Store Leader Program application. This is a retail position. If I get the job, I will collaborating with other smart and passionate people, learning the proper leadership and training to run a Apple Retail Store in my local area!

I think this is a great opportunity for me to branch out and build my people skills and retail experience and get into a company like Apple Inc. I believe that I can make a difference in people's lives and with my strong drive to succeed and optimism, nothing can stop me. The deadline is March 15 and the interview and final decision-making process takes place in April. If you are interested in marketing and sales, click here for more information. This program is only for college seniors and recent college graduates though.

4. I may have an interview with the managing editor at Switched.com next week and I am pretty excited. I just hope the interviewer reads my message and confirms a final interview time.

Within a two-week period, I have been quite busy, working my butt off to make things happen. For all you  unemployed and employed job seekers out there, how has your job search turned out within the past six months or so? Do you currently have a job, but in the process or looking for more productive work?

Picture of the Week: I am Back!

The Tweetbag Wars!

*Sipping on pina colada from a martini glass*


Hey, everyone. Great news! My guest blog masterpiece is completed and you all can find it on Andhari blog now!! Read it, comment on it and follow her! She is amazing. I could not have done this without her. :) Here is how I developed the story. All this weekend, I wanted to write something crazy and unique. I knew that I wanted to write about Twitter, but I did not know how. So, as I was trying to sleep this past Monday morning with a bad tooth (I got my wisdom tooth pulled finally), flashes of epicness erupted in my mind. As much as I love Twitter, new media and celebrity gossip, I had to incorporate all those elements together to create this guest blog. It took me about 30 minutes or so to create the story in my head and about a hour to type it on the computer, word from word.

Now, I do not want to give out the plot of the story, but imagine Perez Hilton arguing with me on Twitter one random day. I hope you get the picture. This is probably my most creative endeavor yet. I want to thank all the people who have commented on my post on her blog and Andhari for responding to my 20sb.net post, and then allowing me to write whatever the hell I wanted to write about without censorship!

So please check out her blog and my post and tell me what you think! :) I am going to tweet the link to Perez Hilton himself. I hope he reads it! :) Salut! *Goes back to sipping on her pina colada and enjoying her blogging break*

My Sincere Apologies, A Day of Self-Awareness and Self-Love

Dear Loyal Followers:

This is a Valentine's Day letter to you. I apologize, but I am going to take a two-week break. I am going to be busy with hard-core job searching and networking because I am still unemployed and I have to straighten out my life right now. Therefore, I am putting my Valentine's Day story on hold. I will finish it but not right now. I know this has never happened to me, but I have to.


However, that does not mean I will not be producing content. This week, I will guest blog on Andharsi's blog (fellow 20sb.net member) so I will post a link to the blog post very soon. She said I have total freedom with the writing and topic, so it will be highly entertaining to the eyes! But as of now, I just need a break. I will be back before the month is over.

I need to rearrange my life and also re-prioritize the way the future of my blog. This is a personal journey. For the past six months, I have shared my hopes and dreams with you guys. Now is time to get off my ass and really make them happen. For the past couple of days, I feel like my life is going nowhere and I need to act on it or I will feel out of place. It has been almost eight months since I graduated from Smith College and some progress has been made, but I think I could have done a better job. I hope you understand. Do not worry, when I come back, I will be better than ever. Thank you for all your love and support.

Love,

Christina

P.S- I will be on Twitter for most of my break. Find me at (@christbrown2009). Follow me if you want.

Happy Valentine's Day!
