So, there's this film that everyone is talking about at the moment.

I wasn't impressed.

( Spoilers ahoy, though I keep the major plot points out of it. )

I want to like this movie. There is stuff that is excellent. But, eh. I wasn't impressed with the second Spider-Man movie when I first saw it, and in a week I thought it was the best. We'll see how time influences my feelings on this movie.

I've got so much to catch up on at the moment. But this little morsel couldn't wait.

Izabella has just walked into the lounge with her fingernails and toenails painted.

With a pink felt-tip pen.

Pixar's new movie is out in the states NOW.

And apparently we aren't going to be seeing it until SEPTEMBER.

What. The hell.

Happy birthday, Whatfold.

God tonight was awesome.

I'm still so drunk.

Mario Kart's just been turned off. Hot Cho colates then bed.

Everyone did so well with their costumes. Well, almost everyone. Pictures later.

Thanks for such a great birthday party, everyone.

Zzz.

Happy Birthday, Luna.

Free Comic Book Day Is This Saturday

Free Comic Book Day is when you get Free Comics! Go to your local Comic Book Store and get some Comics!

(Free ones, that is. )

It's over! I've done what I set out to. Barring anyone deleting a comment or creating a hidden post and then later unlocking it, I've made a comment on every post in my friend's list for a week. Including my own. What's more, I ensured that every reply to my own posts got a reply from me.

Some things I forgot to take into consideration when I set this challenge for myself:
-The slash fiction writers on my flist
-The fact that just because I check my flist regularly makes reading it manageable, but commenting on it is MUCH harder.
-That there are people who use LJ as a stream of consciousness, aka warren_ellis. Technically I never said about editing my flist during the week, but I cannot help but feel that would have been cheating.
-That some people who I consider friends use their LJ regularly to speak on subjects that I know very little about. It's hard to offer thought-out remarks on a regular basis, even if what they're saying is interesting!
-That some of my friends make posts in languages other than english!

Uh.. I don't really know what I was going to accomplish by doing this. But, I said I'd do it and I did it. I guess that's something.

Now someone please shake me very vigorously if I ever entertain the notion of doing it again!

One thing I've noticed about posting all the time is that if you slip up once, it's VERY hard to catch up. I went straight to bed on Monday, and didn't have any time to do a full catch-up yesterday morning, and then next thing I know I have a whole page-and-a-half of uncommented posts!

I'm now only about five behind, but I have to leave it for now. I expect plenty more to be waiting for me when I get back. You bastards.

Scott, you are a sufficient cook, but you are prone to making a mess whenever you make something.

This is why, when dealing with spicy food, you should have a cloth to wipe your brow, instead of using your hand.

...I may have bitten off more than I can chew, here.

The highlight of the day (nay, the week) happened late this afternoon where I not only got a piggy-back* from a grown man, but piggy-backed him in return. Unsurprisingly didn't get very far with me, but bless him, he gave it a shot.

Also, on a whim I have made a decision. For the next week, if a post A) appears on my friend's list, and B) is able to be commented on, I will post a comment in. At least one.

It will not just be a smiley or emoticon. It will be thought out, more than a single word**, ideally a full sentence or two.


*not a euphemism.
**unless I decide that my comment is going to consist of a totally awesome five-minute MS Paint creation.

britbratnz: I want/
britbratnz: Or then again http://www.splitreason.com/product/621 could be good for a geek night
***invisiblemoose likes the 'Achievement Unlocked' Shirt.
invisiblemoose: Though the "Acheivement Locked" knickers are awesome.
britbratnz: hehehe
britbratnz: No comment
***invisiblemoose makes some generic joke about how it pays to know the cheat codes.
britbratnz: You always needed fast, dexterous fingers for those.
invisiblemoose: And knowing when to press what buttons.
britbratnz: And in what order. Otherwise you had a hard time getting a do over.
britbratnz: ...I'm getting disapproving looks from the Misses
invisiblemoose: Oh man.
invisiblemoose: I hope you saved.

Off to my first day at my new job. Hopefully it doesn't suck. Wish me luck...

The Clone Wars animated series was heralded in with a feature-length cinematic release. You'd think that People would want to cash in on that.

So why is it on TV at three thirty on a Friday? A time slot that typically gets reserved for shows like Dora the Explorer and its ilk?

High Schools get out at 3:20 over here. Way to blow off virtually all of the show's target market, TV3.

Happy birthday to lyz_nz!

Love you, honey...

Happy Mario Day.

I could vent about how I didn't get the permanent position that I'm temping for.

Instead, I'm going to talk about the Watchmen movie.
