Friday is Doctor Who day, I guess.

Oh man. It's Friday, and you know what that means, don't you? It means we need to decide whether or not to take the front seat or the back seat. Which one should I take? It's tough, 'cuz if I'm in the front seat, I get to be... well, in the front seat. But if I take the back seat, I get to be in the back! ARG! Why is life so hard?

Also, why does that song suck sooooooooooooo much? Seriously, it has something like 2 million dislikes on YouTube. I feel if anything I ever put up had that many people publicly display their dislike, I would just quit. At everything. And so should Rebecca Black, before she gets any more death threats. Yeah, that's right kids. she has received threats to her life if she does not remove her music from the Interwebz.
On the one hand, I agree with that: her "music" is "awful" and "shouldn't be heard by human ears," but on the other hand, isn't the Internet supposed to be a place of free speech and creativity, where we can express ourselves in nearly anyway we can imagine? And look at porn? Lots and lots of porn?

In other news... um...

Look at this!



Pretty awesome, right? Now, i've never actually watched any Dr. Who, but I know the basic idea, and the Daleks and Davros and The Master and Cybermen and all that. The problem is I'm such a completest that I would want to watch from the very beginning, which is indeed a daunting task, as it first started way back in 1963 and originally ran until 1989. So there's 26 years there to catch up on, plus the 1996 TV movie, and then we get into the re-launch in 2005 thats still running... so another 5-ish years. Not to mention that 108 episodes are bassically gone, and not held in the BBC's archives. Mayhaps I'll juSt have to suck it up and start from the easily available stuff.

A Movie review that tells you very little about the movie, as i don't want to spoil it for you.

I fell off of the "A-Z post-a-day" bandwagon. But it's not my fault, alright? There were no seat belts and we hit a bump.

Anyhoo, I'm 8 days behind, so I'm not even going to bother trying to catch up. Instead I'm just going to do a regular non-alphabet related post.

Most important things first. Best name for a cab company ever: Schindler's Lifts. I know, I'm awesome. I thought of that while waiting for the SkyTrain this fair morn.

So I just watched this fantastic movie, and so I thought I would share it with you. It's called Burke and Hare, and it stars none other than Simon Pegg (he of Shaun of the Dead fame) and Andy Serkis (he of Gollum fame), Tom Wilkinson (he of... well, lots of stuff really... fame.. er..) and TIM CURRY! WHAAAAAAAAT! So awesome. Also, Christopher Lee makes an appearance as an old dude who snuffs it, and when he showed up I was like "Is that Christopher Lee? Nah, couldn't be." Turns out it was. Ten points, Burke and Hare. Ten points.



Oh yeah, it also has Isla Fisher, but she really adds very little to the movie. She's there, whatever, lets move on.

So the movie is about these two (factual) grave robbers in the 1800's. Wikipedia them if you want the real life story, 'cuz this movie opens with the best disclaimer ever: "This is a true story. Except for the parts that are not." I feel like every movie that claims to be "based on a true story" should start with this, because I'm not stupid and I know that what they show is barely whatever happened. that was a poorly worded sentence, and I apologize. I'm very tired and I'm just trying to fire this off before going to bed. maybe I'll come back tomorrow and edit this, and possibly add something to it. We'll see how my day at work goes.

Now get the hell of my lawn, I just re-seeded it.

Dungeons and Dragons.




I play D&D. I would play every day if I could. Ideally, I would play for a living, but I think we can all agree that that seems fairly unlikely.

Alright. Now you know how big of a nerd I really am. Although, since all of you who read this know me in real life, i guess you already knew...

It all started back in high school. I think grade 11, but I'm really not sure. could have been 10. Anyhoo, there was a power outage at the school, and school policy was to let us goo after a certain amount of time had past. Well, Lee and I figured that there was no way the power was going to come back on, so we decided to leave school and go hang out at his place. Whilst trying to figure out what to do with our sudden freedom, we started playing with his brothers Lego. Somehow (I'm not entirely sure how) we started making the little dudes battle, and I was like: "This is fun. If only we could put rules to it and stuff," To which Lee replied "We can," and pulled out a Players Handbook. So I made my very first character. It was a Half-Elf Paladin, and we fought a lion that had an Elvis haircut, and a dude with Jar-Jar Bink's head on a chain. It was awesome.

I have played ever since, and it will be a big part of my life forever. I can't wait until I can play with my kids. That'll be fun.

Now get off my lawn, before I beat you down with my +1 mace.

Also, it's Riella's 6 Month Blogiversary! she's giving away a gift card for Aldo to celebrate, so if you wanna win yourself some shoeses, head on over and check it out!

C is for Cun...ning....

Some of my favorite things start with the letter c. Cookies, Cupcakes, Caramel, Cats, Catman.... I could go on.

But I won't. I have to go to bed, so I can get up for work. I wish I could get some Coca-Cola tomorrow, to wash down my Corned Beef Cruissant and Choco-Cherry Love blizzard, which I plan to get after riding my Chocobo to Cloud City, where I'm picking up my brand new Charizard from Carol Channing. Off to hit the hay, then. I hope I dream about a certain Corellian and his Comrade-at-arms Chewbacca.

Ciao!

Batman.

Who's cooler than Batman? Nobody, that's who. Batman is the be all end all in badassery. He's like Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, and Sherlock Holmes all rolled into one. I mean, guy had his back broken and still came back to kick more ass. How fucking cool is that?



Not to mention he has some of the best villains ever: The Joker, Bane, Harley Quinn... and Catman...



Yeah... he totally exists... He's like Batmans equal in almost every way. ALMOST, because obviously no-one can be as good as Batman at anything. In fact, in the Batman roleplaying game, his stats are literally the best they can be while still being human. It's kind of ri-donkey-kong.

Also, if you ever have a bomb to get rid of, he's your guy.

And that's why Batman is the awesome-est. Forever.

Now gerrof mah lawn.

This blog post is brought to you by the letter "A"

Okay, so I'm going to try this April A-Z challenge deal. I realize I've technically already failed, but I was too busy watching YouTube for five straight hours yesterday. So this is yesterdays, and I'll post another later on today. Cool beans? Aight.

A. A is for many things. A is for Awesome. A is for Avarice. A is for Alcohol, Aardvark, Apple, Annoying, Art, and soooooooo much more. A is also for.... ready? ALAN SCOTT!

"Who?"

you know.... Alan Scott... the first Green Lantern... found a magical lantern and made a ring out of part of it? Weakness was wood?

Fine. Never mind then.

Like I said, A is for a lot of thingses. I couldn't possibly think of them all. I mean, do you realize how many animals there are that begin with the letter "A?" I don't, but I wouldn't be surprised if this kid does. He has Autism, which, coincidentally, also begins with our letter o the day (yesterday).

Aaaaand I'm spent. I'll see you later, but in the meantime: I pity the fool who doesn't get off my lawn. ("A" is also for A-Team.)
