Today, a CARH truck will be picking up any donation such as clothing, small appliances and/or furniture, etc. From time to time, we donate to CARH (http://www.carh-inc.org/donations.html). This morning, I placed some items for donation onto our street for the truck to pick up around 8am. Some items I placed outside for donations are clothing, reusable shoes, cooking pot and a wicker chair with matching foot stool.
When my husband saw the wicker chair and stool outside, he told me that someone may steal them. Around 9am, I looked outside my son’s bedroom window to see if the truck came by and picked up the items. At that time, I still saw the bags of clothing/shoes and pot. When I looked carefully, the wicker chair and foot stool were gone! Just as my husband predicted, someone did STEAL the wicker chair and stool!
Those items are not free! I did not place a big note next to the items saying ‘FREE, please take them!’ The wicker chair and stool are for donation! Whoever STOLE the wicker chair/stool should be ashamed of himself/herself. How RUDE! I am sure that person who took my donation items can AFFORD to buy their own wicker chair with matching stool. Heck, I believe that inconsiderate, unsympathetic person can AFFORD to buy a $1000 leather couch!
I donate items for a reason and to help a special cause. The person who STOLE my donation items is so heartless. That wicker chair and stool could have been given to someone who can really use it.
Ok going into a different subject. Pixar showed the new movie Drive starring Ryan Gosling. According to Rottentomatoes, Drive was given a 92% FRESH review. Since Drive was given a very good review, my husband and I decided to watch the movie at 6:30pm (there was another showing of Drive at 9pm). After work, I drove to Pixar. My husband’s brother picked up our son at Pixar and took him to my inlaws house. I really had no idea of what the movie was about. I saw the movie trailer but I still didn’t get what the movie was about. All I know that Ryan Gosling loves to drive in this movie.
I failed to notice how the movie is rated. I thought it was rated PG-13. Boy I was totally wrong! The movie is 110% rated R! It was a very violently graphic movie with many disturbing images. I especially don’t like it when the movie gets very silent because when there is silence in the movie, I know something terrifying will happen! And this movie had a lot of scary silent moments!
Overall, Ryan Gosling played the character well. In the movie, his character is so reserved, quiet and hardly talks. I always wonder what thoughts go into his mind. He has this big mystery about him. His character is so extreme though. He can be a quiet, well-mannered man then becomes into this monster, maniac, cold-blooded killer in a split second. Is he a good guy or bad guy? Boy one thing I will remember from the movie is those jeans Ryan Gosling wore! Ryan Gosling looks pretty good in those jeans!
Also the movie had some 80s retro thing going on like the font and font color of the movie credits and the wardrobe the characters wore. The movie soundtrack sounded like from the 80s too. Soundtrack like Under Your Spell by Desire. I especially like the music Nightcall by Kavinsky.
