My brother said something funny the other day, I thought I should share it with everyone.
I'm way cooler than Batman. Instead of watching him I'd rather watch a mirror for a while. - Jonathan
It's funny, because it's not true. NOBODY is cooler than Batman. It's a scientific fact.
My sister and I didn't always get along well. While growing up in the same house we got a long even less. I'm told it's because we're too similar, but if that's so then we were both jerks and unpleasant to be around as kids. We do get on better now, still disagree about some stuff, but can usually talk about it in a more civil manner. And she has a pretty good sense of humor, which means it's twisted and somewhat morbid. I wish she updated her blog more often, because she's got a great sense of humor. Take the tag line, for instance.
Laughter really is the best medicine; unless you have cancer, then you should get chemo.
Or how about the title of the most recent post:
I will do anything to avoid doing what I actually need to.
I haven't even read the post, but I can tell it's a freaking gold mine.
Lost in a dream,
Finally it seems...
Emptiness and everlasting madness.
See the sadness grow,
Watching as we know,
Long before our journey for the world!
Call for us,
The power in all of us!
So far beyond the blackened sky tonight...
Glorious!
Forever more in us!
We are victorious!
And so alive!
We'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow!
Our journey on towards a brighter day...
Silent tears we've left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands, through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity we stand, yeah!
Rise above the universe tonight...
Starchaser...!
Fly towards the storm!
See the world reborn!
Feel the pain inside the voice of sorrow.
Cross the distant shores,
Find the open door!
Stand alone in judgment for tomorrow!
Years of pain still haunt us all,
We saw the last sunrise
Take me home in freedom for a lifetime...
Pray now for the silence and the last tears will blind!
So glorious, this fire inside, united we stand
And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow!
Our journey on towards a brighter day...
Silent tears we've left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands, through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity we stand, yeah!
Rise above the universe tonight...
Starchaser...!
Free from this world...
Here for the last time...
Oceans collide inside of us all...
Believe who we are!
The phoenix will guide us!
Freedom will rise once again!
Save us tonight, the last hope for all of us!
Light years gone by, we're still holding on!
Save us tonight, a star shines in all of us!
Far beyond our lives, still our glory lives on!
And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow!
Our journey on towards a brighter day...
Silent tears we've left behind, still so far away,
Across the endless sands, through the fields of our despair,
Free for all eternity we stand, yeah!
Rise above the universe tonight...
Starchaser...!
Starchaser...!
Our kingdom come, we stand as one
And we will live for always...
Evermore...
-- DragonForce
Lyrics from lyricwiki.org
Remember Kids: Across the endless sands, through the fields of our despair, free for all eternity we stand.
"Why so serious, son?"
Okay, so it's actually more of a random vandalization of my brother's website, but hey, that's what family's for, right?
From my sister's blog:
"As I walked through [Ikea] I kept thinking, 'hey! I totally need a huge knife.'"
Be very afraid.
I read quite a few toy reviews. I usually find them fascinating, even for items I have absolutely no interest in, and when they are reviews of items I have, like or want, then they're almost as fulfilling to read as having the figure is. My primary sources for toy reviews are Michael's Review of the Week and Online Action Figure Entertainers. And of course the various forums I'm a member of (The Fwoosh and SW Action News mostly).
So I found a review of Clone Wars General Grievous figure from the new animated show line, and the author said Revenge of the Sith is the worst of the Star Wars prequels. Now, I'm currently not a huge fan of the prequels, but there are certainly enjoyable parts in all three films.
But this has to be the best statement explaining what's wrong with ROTS. And I quote:
"At least The Phantom Menace knew it was a kids' movie and behaved accordingly, so dumb as it is, it's actually quite entertaining to watch, like a kitten rolling around like a spaz trying to catch its tail. RotS, on the other hand, thought it was some kind of important war epic, so it wound up being like a middle-aged self-appointed "intellectual" rolling around trying to catch his tail, and then claiming it was a commentary on the superficiality of the audience. You know what, no."
Wow. Nothing I could possibly say can add to that. It's such an interesting visual that I'm now inspired to try and find similarly great quotes to post every once in so often, so look for more quote in the indeterminate future.
