Looks like it will be an interesting movie, expecially for fans of Memoirs of a Geisha...love that movie. I have not read the book, but seeing as how I have not yet read Memoirs either, I don't see too big of a problem with that. Now I will post the trailer below before I start talking about Harry Potter, lol.
Okay, and for some reason the image frozen on the tailer is super weird and a little creepy, its just one of the actresses mid-word, and that's not where the trailer starts, its from the beginning, so here goes!!!
I don't usually support chain mail of any kind, but this is SO TRUE, I've been thinking it alot lately, how I wouldn't really want to eat Chinese food in China (too much unknown for me, no offense) but all the food we buy HERE seems to be made THERE! Read below for some interesting stuff...
Did you see that Diane Sawyer has a special report coming up this week? They removed ALL items from a typical, middle class family's home that were not made in the USA ..
There was hardly anything left besides the kitchen sink. Literally. During the special they are going to show truckloads of items - USA made - being brought in to replace everything and will be talking about how to find these items and the difference in price etc..
It was interesting that Diane said that if every American spent just $64 more than normal on USA made items this year, it would create something like 200,000 new jobs!
WAS BUYING FOOD THE OTHER DAY AT WALMART and ON THE LABEL OF SOME PRODUCTS IT SAID 'FROM CHINA’
FOR EXAMPLE THE "OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF THE MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '
I WAS SHOCKED SO FOR A FEW MORE CENTS I BOUGHT THE LIBERTY GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE SINCE IT'S FROM CALIFORNIA.
Are we Americans as dumb as we appear --- or --- is it that we just do not think while the Chinese, knowingly and intentionally, export inferior and even toxic products and dangerous toys and goods to be sold in American markets?
70% of Americans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended.
Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges? DO IT YOURSELF, AMERICA !!!
Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and if it says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ), simply choose another product, or none at all. You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
Who needs plastic eggs to celebrate Easter? If you must have eggs, use real ones and benefit some American farmer. Easter is just an example. The point is do not wait for the government to act. Just go ahead and assume control on your own.
THINK ABOUT THIS: If 200 million Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that's a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor...fast!!
Most of the people who have been reading about this matter are planning on implementing this on July 1st and continue it until August 1st. That is only one month of trading losses, but it will hit the Chinese for 1/12th of the total, or 8%, of their American exports. Then they might have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness were worth it.
So, I am no good at designing websites myself (or I would give this one a go!) just handy at eventually figuring out blogs. Please see below if you are willing to lend a hand.

Harnett County is one of the few high-kill shelters that refuses to use Petfinder.com to list their animals each week. Often HCAC animals only have hours to be adopted, so a group of concerned citizens from Harnett Co. & beyond are seeking someone to create a website to feature these pets. One group created a facebook page but it's difficult to navigate and outdated. If you have the time and talent to create a website for the animals of Harnett Co. Animal Shelter please contact us.
Some of the page ideas include:
* Featured Inmates
* Foster Pet Gallery the can link to both an independent foster home & the many rescues that serve HCAC
* Contact list of people available to transport
* Advocacy page to provide accurate information & resources for change at HCAC
* Advertising from local businesses to help pay for the site

(click the link above...crazy!)
I must say that Ever After (another re-creation of Cinderella) is so worth it. THe quotes, the sayings, inforaiton...hilarious and true. If only I were awake enough ot write it all down. Perhaps tomorrow.
Seriously! Now, I'm mostly typing to avoid getting in bed though extremely tired (yawwwn) and to avoid doing work (from home, I have no life!). But when working, you know, when there is a GRIND to get things getting! Well, my brain goes POOF, and I need it to go GRIND!
Okay, that didn't make sense, but I am in LOVE with my new vaio, even though it doesn't have a CD/DVD or whatever drive, I never used it anyways. I have an external hard drive and a hunny with download capabilities who can just put stuff on my drive for me. It's best this way, trust me.
Oh, and if you...totally forgot what I was about to say. oh well.
THe Sony Vaio Y-series (think there's only one most current one) if freaking AWESOME!
One of my closest friends, Anastasia, was in Raleigh recently, and I didn't know until the day before her flight back home to COSTA RICA!!! I always just miss her! Now I have to get her to book a trip for me to see her in San Jose! By the end of october, I hope.
Miss you chica, soooo much. Congrats on everything!
