Oh my gosh!

They've added a few new hello kitty auctions from last time i checked including this amazing piano !!!

I shouldn't be wasting time, I really need to do my database assignment, but it's so boring and complicated.

Yesterday I finally decided I would sit down an get a chunk of work done, but it was free premium channel preview weekend on dish network, and you can't expect me to not watch a movie called "nico the unicorn" This movie is about a boy with a bum leg who buys a pony from/ therefore saving the pony from some evil carnie. and it turns out the pony is pregnant, and it gives birth to a unicorn. somehow the kid doesn't find it strange at all. and he starts reading the requisite lore about only the pure of heart can posses a unicorn...Then the pony dies protecting the baby unicorn from a mountain lion. and in like 3 days the unicorn goes from being a baby to being full grown. and you can't keep a full grown unicorn a secret in a small town, and the evil kids take a picture and try to sell it to the newspaper. and that's not good for anyone. so the boy has to take to the mountains with his unicorn. since the kid is crippled he's not allowed to ride horses/ponies/unicorns, but he does, and in order to swing his leg over, he has to take off the brace. and as the unicorn rears up on his hind legs he smashes the discarded braces to pieces. meanwhile they've got the police, the evil kids, the evil gun toating carnie and the mom all on the trail. of course they make it to the top, where there's some kind of secret cave that turns into some magical unicorn paradise, and as soon as the kid steps of the unicorn he leg heals. but there's a magic pond and the boy sees his mother in the pond and of course she's all sad, and knows he has to return. so he comes down the mountain, which isn't a big deal now that he was magically un-crippled, and runs to his mothers arms. and the press and everyone ask him where his unicorn is. and he, of course replies "are you crazy, there's no such thing as unicorns" and good triumphs over evil once again. the widowed mom gets together with the police man and now they won't be poor anymore. unfortunately i was doing laundry and i didn't see what happened to the carnie. maybe he died, or maybe he saw the error of his ways. who knows.

apparently this is based on a book of the same name. surely, it must be better than the movie.

i wish i had a unicorn friend. i just don't think i'm pure of heart enough. and i don't imagine unicorns like the suburbs much.
