The Names, They Are a-Changin'

I changed the name of this Blog! I just thought of it now and decided it was perfect! Huzzah! Feel my might!

WHOA!

Not that might, you pervs! The one to your left.

Yeah, that's better.


Oh yeah, and Happy Everything.

Some Stuff.

Okay, I tried colouring something in Photoshop. I didn't really have fun doing it, and I'm not too happy with the results, but it's pretty damn good for a first attempt, I think. I got really bored and frustrated near the end, so there are clearly unfinished parts, but whatever.

Inks 'n colours by me, of course, artist unknown.

I started a Green Goblin picture, too, but I doubt I'll finish it. I enjoy using a physical medium, rather than digital. Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

In other news, I'm really digging this song right now.

Short post today, but I really don't have a lot on my mind right now. Oh yeah, except that you should totally watch Despicable Me. It was awesome.

Now get off my lawn, before I unleash my Squid Gun on you.

Chumps.

bloogitty bloogitty blarg! shmlurien pourlien fmarg?

Maaaaaaaaaaan.

Oh hey! I don't know if any of you guys ever watched The Ripping Friends, but there was this character on there that was called Man-Man, and he had all the powers of a Man, and his outfit and gear and stuff was all flesh coloured. He had a sidekick named Man-Boy. They were supposed to be a Batman and Robin parody. I never liked that show, but those two always stuck with me for some reason, and me starting this post with "Maaaaaaaaaan." made me think of it. I tried to find a picture for youse guys, but I had no luck. Fuck you, I tried alright?

bloogitty bloogitty blarg! shmlurien pourlien fmarg!

.....

I don't really have anything to talk about... Sorry...

Look at this instead!


The part that really gets me is the "Because you demanded it... The most requested villain of all!"

Anyways, welcome to Earf, Bitches!
And stop eatin' all my breaf mints.

POOP. lol...

Jingle Bells, Zombie Smells.

Oh no, Kids! Looks like Santa's had a little Worker's Uprising! Not to worry though, those nice video game ladies will help sort everything out and get Christmas back on schedule!

Inks 'n colours by me.

Catching Crooks Like They're Flies.

I tried some more colouring today. The inks were pretty bad on this to begin with, I must have done it early on in my learnin's. I fixed 'em up best I could, though.



I feel it's worth mentioning (so as not to be judged too harshly) that this is the third picture i have tried to colour properly with coloured pencils, not including a failed TMNT picture a few months ago. I ruined that one pretty good.

Gerroff muh lawn!

Hulk Smash!

As you may know, I ink stuff. Apparently I do it pretty well, but I have nothing to really compare to, other than comics inked by professionals. Today I decided to try colouring something with pencil crayons that I had previosly inked, something I have never managed to do competently. UNTIL NOW! Check it out!



Get off Hulks lawn, Puny Human!

Because It Sounds Nice.

I like vinyl. Not in a kinky sex way, but in a "those big black disks in your parents attic that they say sounds way better then cd's" kind of way. Your parents are right, kiddies. They rock.

I'm not going to get into why I think they are better, as it comes down to a matter of personal opinion, but I do want to share with you some of the albums I own that I dig.

Now I could easily post all my favorites, but I've decided to only post ones that have some special appeal to me, whether it be rarity, or artwork, or just a really solid album. Here they come. Get ready.. NOW!

Neil Young - Comes a Time
Neil Young is simply amazing. I wanted to go see him play in Vancouver a couple years ago, but it was way too expensive; I just couldn't afford it. One of my biggest regrets. This album is fantastic when you just want something mellow to listen to whilst you read. Also, it's good to listen to for any other reason.

The Return of the Jedi Soundtrack Because I'm a huge fucking nerd. I actually picked this up at a church garage sale in Fernie. It cost me fifty cents, I think. It still has all the interior artwork, too, although for some reason there is a hole going through the jacket and record sleeves. Bummer.

Scruffy the Cat - Boom Boom Boom Bingo This one, I actually only bought because I loved the Cover art. And the band name. I was surprised to find that it wasn't actually that bad. i would totally listen to it again, it was kind of a... I don't remember, but I remember not hating it, so that's good. I should probably go back and give it another listen.

Simon & Garfunkel - Bookends. What is there to say about these guys that hasn't been said before? This is probably my favorite S&G album I own, not because it has my favorite song, but because it is really solid from start to finish. Ready for it's hit list? America, Fakin' It, Punky's Dilemma, Mrs. Robinson, Hazy Shade of Winter, At the Zoo... That's most of the album, right there. Nice.

More on my Vinyl later. There are definately more that need to be on this list, but I don't want this post to be too long.

Now get offa my lawn.

Gross!

EWWW!

I just took out the garbage, and there was a giant dead rat in the dumpster. This thing was bigger than my cat was when we first got her. She was this big:

Yes, M'Lord?

Baaaaaaalls.

Hey, guys. How's it going? Yeah? Really? Oh wow, that's awesome.

STOP TALKING NOW AND LISTEN TO ME!

I've been playing Warcraft 3 lately. It's old, I know, but I like assembling armies and sending them into ur base to kill all ur doodz. I should have gotten Warcraft 2, instead I think. I don't care for this 'hero' nonsense, and limiting how much food I can have (and therefore the size of my army) is just silly. I really couldn't think of another older game that I would like to play though. Weird huh? I can't seem to think of any games that I really liked for PC, except for those that are all basically the same one, ie. Warcraft, Starcraft, and Command and Conquer. And I get bored with them quickly. Think of some games for me, then maybe I'll play them.

I thought I'd share a couple of pictures I inked recently, but my attempts to contact the artist have failed, so I will no be doing so. Sorry guys. Instead, click HERE!

Maybe that'll teach you to stay they hell of my lawn.

Late Nights With Stu #5

I wasn't really tired, so I got out of bed (sorry Porkchop!). That's what has become normal for me, and it sucks. I must try to go to bed at better hours. I'm tired now, but I also just puked my face off. Reattaching faces is not easy, let me tell you; It is hard to find an adhesive that works properly. So, yeah, now I'm reluctant to go to bed, in case I got's to puke again.

So how about that local sports team?

Christmas is coming up soon. Now, I don't know about you cats, but I dig X-mas. I like the lights, and the trees, and even the snow, so long as it goes away completely in a day or two (which almost never happens). I'm not a big fan of the songs though. Too much God-Talk in most of them, and they tend to get stuck in my head far too easily. Working in a retail store will also get your hate for Christmas tunes going, because then you get to listen to them all day, every day for two months.

There is, however, one Christmas song I really enjoy. One I listen to throughout the year. It is called "White Wine in the Sun," and it is by a comedian by the name of Tim Minchin. This song is not meant to be particularly funny, but it's amazing, and it will be a Christmas staple in my household FOREVER. Check it out!



Tim has also composed the songs for the Royal Shakespeare Company's "Matilda, A Musical," based on the the beloved Roald Dahl classic "Matilda," and hot damn, I wish I could go. Unfortunately, I don't live in England. Shit. Check out the shows webpage here. You know what, while you're at it, you might as well take a gander over Tim's Website. That's right! Time Minchin is giving away geese at his website! Limited Time Offer!

haha.... get it? Gander... male goose.... get it?

... Fuck off.



And, get off my lawn, by the way.

Episode IV: A New Hope...er... Name

Recently I have been thinking of changing the name of my blog, after a google search came up with several that were titled with "Are you there, Internet? It's me, [insert persons name here]" Talk about disappointment. Anyways, I've come up with a few ideas, and since I'm terrible at deciding for myself, I thought I would put them up in a poll and let youse guys decide.

Movies!

I've been lacking in the post area, pretty much since I started this thing way back in March. I just really haven't been into it lately. So let me fill you in on what movies I've seen recently.

Edward Norton. That guy is awesome. I watched him in "Leaves of Grass" a little while ago, in which he plays twin brothers. It was pretty awesome. It had it's funny moments, but I'm not sure if I should call it a comedy. No, I will. It was pretty funny. I'm not going to say anything more than that, partially because I don't remember much more than that, and partially because you just need to see it.



And after that, you should go check out "Death to Smoochy" if you haven't seen that already. Or even if you have. My favorite Edward Norton movie (along with Incredible Hulk; best Bruce Banner EVAR!), it's pretty hilarious.



You know what I don't recommend you see? "Greenberg," with Ben Stiller. I was led to believe this was a comedy. I'm pretty sure the DVD box and IMDB both told me it was(Okay, I just checked IMDB and they said it was a drama and a comedy, and the dvd box said that someone thought it was "Extremely Entertaining." Idiot.). They should have said it was a lesson in awkward; it was painful. I have have never watched anything more frustrating in my entire life. I should have just turned it off and watched Super Troopers, but... oh well. When you see it, don't say I didn't warn you.

As it is Guy Fawkes day today (if you don't know what it's all about, you can read about it here.), I'm gonna go watch V for Vendetta. Also, I like Natalie Portman's shaved head.



Until next time kiddies, stay the hell offa my lawn!

Megan Fox is a Whore (in this movie).

So last night I watched Jonah Hex. Never having read the comics and only being aware that Jonah Hex was a cowboy with an ugly face, I didn't have that annoying fan-boy moment that I usually have in comic book movies where I go "That's not how that goes! In issue blah blah blah...," which was kind of nice. That's basically how I would describe the movie, as well. Kind of nice to watch. Kinda. The story was pretty bad, It consisted of Jonah Hex (a bounty hunter who was a confederate soldier in the Civil War) trying to stop his old general (played by John Malkovitch), who had become a terrorist and a Weapon of Mass Destruction. I shit you not. This movie takes place six years after the civil war, or something like that, and they still worked in WMD's and terrorists. There was even a part where the president said that the Mexicans used to call Turnbull (Malkovitch) "la Terrorista." Fml.

The WMD was the stupidest thing ever, too. It was a cannon with a bunch of rotating barrels like a gatling gun, so it would fire off a bunch of regular looking cannon balls, then it would fire off what looked like Dragonball, which would explode and then make all the other cannonballs explode too, even though it was nowhere near them. And of course, it would make a mushroom cloud. My question is this, though. If John Malkovitch's character had all the Dragonballs, why didn't he just wish for ultimate power, instead of trying to shoot them from a cannon on Independence day, which gave Jonah Hex and his girlfriend (who was a whore, appropriately played by Megan Fox) to stop him? Seriously. One wish and he could have Kamehameha'd the shit out of everybody, and that I would have really enjoyed seeing.

Oh yeah, and Will Arnet was in it too, which was weird. They kind of set him up like he was going to be a semi-important character in the movie, and then we never see him again. What?

In conclusion, if you want to shut your brain off and watch a cowboy blow shit up with little crossbows that shoot dynamite, then this movie will satisfy. Just don't think about how the dynamite wouldn't have the smooth flight they have in the movie, because they have no fletching and aren't aerodynamic at all... and don't think about all the rest of the story too, I guess... It was pretty bad... If you see it on TV, or just don't have to pay money to see it, then you might want to do so. I mean, when have action movies really ever had a solid plot anyways?
