Love Guru (Movie Review)

On Wednesday night, me and Michael decided to go get his hair cut, and after we were done, we were pretty hungry. Spur of the moment, we decided on The Movie Tavern, because we could eat and watch a movie. The only on that was starting right then was The Love Guru starring Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, and Justin Timberlake, among others.

I had heard some things about this movie, like "it was a mistake by Mike Myers to make this one." So I went in kind of skeptical, but I'm so positive about movies, I gave it a chance and was pleasantly surprised. I might be easily amused, but I rather enjoyed this flick. There's some t-shirts inspired by this movie I'm going to want to make, but you'll have to watch the movie to find out what I'm talking about.

I give a thumbs up. It's a bit Austin Power-esque, but it's funny. Just let go and enjoy it.

Oh and by the way, for fans of Harvey Birdman, Steven Colbert kind of steals the show. He did his character in the "Phil Ken Sebben" voice, from Harvey Birdman and his character was even named Ken. Every time he opened his mouth, I thought I was watching Harvey Birdman, which I love, so I really got a kick out of it.

Movies to check out this weekend:

WALL•E - heard it was suposed to be the best pixar movie to date... but they just keep getting better and better??
Wanted - Angelina Jolie. HOT! action, action, action...

Portraits anyone?

So , I got a new kick ass camera. I thought it was a semi-pro camera. Well it turns out its top of the line and I'm slowly getting the hang of it. I love it so far, and I plan on taking a photography class this summer to brush up on the technical stuff. If you guys would like any portraits done, I'm setting appointments. Seniors, personal, couples, whatever... let me know if you want some cheap portraits done. Most photographers charge over $150 for portraits, so you might like to jump at this chance for some decent, inexpensive pictures.

- Prices -
These are temporary since I am a beginner and these will be considered "practice shoots" DFW Area ONLY $125 for portraits. Includes 2 hours of shooting. No special lighting, just outside. includes post editing, i.e. fixing blemishes, and color correction.

For a limited time you get one free 8x10 print.

I can also get you additional prints, but it will be extra!

haha.

Monday, August 20, 2007 - "I plan to devote a little more time to keeping everyone updated on what's going on in the 'world of Siouxsie.'"

so much for that! I wrote a post and never posted again! Well, this time I am going to try harder.

Things have picked up for Sanctum Design Studio and I have since re-designed the site. I have lowered prices to cater to those starving artists and small business owners that just can't afford to pay outlandish prices for websites, business card design and logos.

Anyway, I hope that people will check back for updates.

I'm taking on craigslist.org right now. I'm offering services like model portfolios, photo retouching and as always I'm offering my regular services like logo and web design.

I have a great deal going on right now, where models can give me a cd of photos that they might have received for their time as a model for the photographer's portfolio. Most of the time these images are not edited... not good for the model. I take the images, clean them up and package them and have them turned into a hardcover book they can use as their portfolio. It's a great deal of time offered to them, at a fraction of the cost of other design studios. I just know how hard it is to find affordable quality work. So I'm doing it at out of the kindness of my heart... for only $100. It breaks down as $50 for the book and $50 for editing and layout.

If you know any amateur models that could take advantage of this deal, send them my way!
