Spare-ity

As quarters jingle in my pocket, a little tune from memory lane comes in my head. Written from one of my closet high school friends while standing on the sidelines in our cheer uniforms at a Junior Varsity football game [JP you are a genius].

"I've got quarters in my pocket. Wanna see them in my hand? Tiny quarters in my pocket going jingle-ling-a ling. Lots of quarters on my floor. Watch me throw them at the door. Just to hear the sound they make. Going clink-clink-clink-click- klank."

This simple little jingle got me thinking about all things spare.

Spare Change

Wasting space away in my pocket, a little bit of my spare change could in fact, change quite a bit.

It Could....

• Buy my chocolate craving tummy a candy bar.
• Buy the kid, who sits next to me in that one class ( you know that one), some mints.
• Buy myself another bottle of Sunny D since I seem to have drank an entire bottle in the last 30 minutes.
• Buy my niece a silly, little toy out of one of those ridiculous vending machine (you know the ones that come in that stupid plastic container with the stupid plastic lids that never seem to want to come unattached. yeah those).
• Again, buy me a candy bar. It's time to prep for finals weeks and all college students should be living on a diet of caffeinated drinks and candy bars.

Spare Tire

This is just kind of necessary and that is all there is to it.

Spare Room

 Most homes have them and they have lots of various jobs.

Very useful for:

• Housing young wizards (only if they are located under the stairs).
• A play room with lots of toys and stuff. Kids love that kind of thing.
• An old bed that is extremely uncomfortable for your guests to sleep on.
• All the stuff you have no other place in your house for.
• A room for your beloved pets. 
•  Most importantly they are where you keep the wardrobe that allows one to venture into Narnia.

But we are forgetting the most important spare thing of all:

Spare Time

I love spare time. It is time to be filled with nonsense and as many creative wonders as possible. Lately, I have been spending my spare time strictly with pop culture. From award shows to popular crime scene television shows, my life is obsessed with knowing who won that award and if that killer is hiding in the shower. But I seem to find myself distracted with the various movie channels on Direct TV. From Sundance to Fx Movie channel, I have a really bad addiction. But it's not to normal movies- it's to very weird movies. One flip of the remote and I'm glued to the television like the quarter my sisters super glued to the sidewalk one time when I was little. I don't know why, but I find them fascinating, with all their weirdness.

So for your blogging pleasure, here is a list of random movies I have watched lately and my thoughts (because I know you love my thoughts):

• Vampire (docudrama): One late night I stumbled across this little joy. It might be one of the strangest, most enjoyable movies I have seen to date that played on television after midnight. It's a fake documentary following around the life of vampires- yes vampires. I honestly "loled" in the first 10 seconds because the first camera crew doesn't even make into the vampires home without being eaten. Eventually, they find a vampire family that withholds the urges of eating the film makers. I will not go on to spoil the fun, but if you ever are in the mood for a weird movie- this one was surprisingly enjoyable. 

• Farewell my Concubine: I did not even know if I could find words to explain this film. It's a classic- but it's weird as hell. Plus it is all in a foreign language so it's all subtitles. It's basically about these kids training to be actors, but the instructor people are really mean. This movie is full of brutality and weird noises. It's just odd. Very, very. Very odd. But I could not stop watching it. I have seen bits and pieces of it like 10 times, including in a theater class. I have only seen it complete once. I think it will take a few more times to full understand every inch and turn it has within it.

• Spork: I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH. It debuted at one of the Gay Pride festivels. It's about a young girl, who is named Spork because she is hermaphrodite. I hope I did not lose you. Her best friends name is Tootsie Roll and she lives in the trailer next door. Tootsie roll injures herself and Spork has to take her place in the school Talent Show. I am not going to spoil anymore because this literally is a fantastic movie. It is filled with a lot of foul language, but it is followed with an excellent soundtrack. You definitely will not be disappointed. My friends might beg to differ because the first time we watched it, we were all sleep deprived; I might have been laughing so hard I was bawling- it's fine. It's whatever. Also, watch till the very end. The last like 10 seconds are wonderful- I am not sure how many times I have rewound the last part. [i have issues].

• Teeth:  DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. I repeat do not watch this movie. It is supposed to be a horror movie. It's poorly made. Plus, the whole plot line is ridiculous. It's about a girl who has an issue down there; meaning down there has teeth. That is all I am saying. If you are curious, research at your risk...The only reason I watched this is because I came to it halfway through at like 2 in the morning. & at the 2 in the morning, your options of things to watch on television is pick and choose. Plus I was way too lazy to get up and put a movie in. DON'T BE LAZY. Skip this movie and enjoy some other, strange movie instead.

• Troll 2: This movie takes multiple times to appreciate it's wonderful-ness, though two of my friends agreed that first time that it was fantastic. It is a cult classic, like the Rocky Horror Picture Show, that some people just do not get and enjoy. I LOVE IT THOUGH. It starts off telling a wise tale about trolls that inhabit a small town and force people to eat their food, which turns to green mess and ultimately turns them into something- I am not revealing that something because it could ruin the movie. The acting is awful which is the best part. I did not fully appreciate the acting until watching "The Best Worse Movie". It is a documentary about the film. The actors themselves were so embarrassed and surprised when this became a cult classic. Throughout the film you will feel many different emotions, mainly weird; you will see popcorn being popped in an unconventional way and how a bologna sandwich can sometimes save the day. Best line of the movie..."You can't piss on hospitality!" 

 Well, I feel like there will be a second installment on strange movies because I had a terribly hard time narrowing down my list. I LOVE WEIRD AND POORLY MADE MOVIES SO SO MUCH. They really deserve their own genre because they are fantastic. I should probablyyy stop rambling, but I just have so mannnny emotionsss. That's why I'm.....
