So, today I saw 3 movies, paid for 2. My Mom picked us up at like 2pm, and we headed to Abbotsford to go watch Shrek 3 and because they had an advanced screening of Transformers going on today.
Shrek 3? Boring... I didn't think it was any good at all.
AFTER that though, we realised we had a good 3 hours or so to kill until Transformers came on. We ALSO realised that Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was playing at a theatre right across the hall. My Mom checked and it had only started about 15 minutes ago. My Mom then grinned and stepped into the theatre, sat down and motioned for us to sit with her.
Kind of cool when your Mom theatre hops and then encourages you to do it.
Honestly, the kids working at this theatre didn't give a shit. We really could have just walked through the doors and walked into any theatre we wanted. We didn't get tickets checked for Transformers at all even though we actually paid for those ones.
Pretty sweet deal.
So Transformers...
AWESOME FUCKING MOVIE!!! I was so thoroughly entertained. Now, I'm far from a Transformers buff. I didn't dig them as much as I liked Thundercats and He-Man as a kid. But I did know enough to be able to explain some of the stuff to my Mom and Sister. HOLY CRAP though... the voices were great, the special effects were intense. You didn't get that "Something cool is happening, but we'll only show it for a split second to save budget". No way, Michael Bay wanted people to see huge robots walloping each other relentlessly, and he delivered.
The whole movie was fast paced as hell, almost to the point of pushing it, but it really kept you from leaving your seat to piss as I can personally attest. But it was also SUPER funny. I'll admit, I liked Shia LeBoeuf since I saw him in this Disney Channel TV show he used to do. He's got such onscreen charisma it's frigging staggering. I figured I'd hate the scenes that were focused on the humans, but the guy is a great actor and can carry a scene on his shoulders fucking Atlas style.
The Transformers themselves were great. I didn't like that Optimus only had his faceplate closed once or twice, and I wanted WAY more Starscream, but other than that I have no complaints whatsoever.
Also, Hugo Weaving beat all kinds of ass as Megatron's voice actor. I forgot it was him until I saw it in the credits. His brawl/smack talk with Optimus was such a wicked scene.
All in all, go see this movie.

I drew again. This is beginning to become quite the habit. I need to keep it up. I need to improve with every picture. I really hope everyone likes what I drew this time.
( Fighting the End of a Dream )
Before you ask, yep I'm kissing a girl in this picture. The girl is one I've drawn up a few times, and who's beginning to become somewhat of an object of affection. I know it's a little... well maybe alot weird. Yeah, there are most likely mistakes in the picture, but I'm way proud of it. I've never done anything this involved before and it just really feels like an accomplishment that I even made it this far with it. Plus... look at them! They look so happy.
Some of you may recognise the position. If it seems a bit familiar, that's because it is. I once again looked at the work of one of my favorite artists of all in order to help me with the positioning of the couple in my picture.
For reference, here's a link to the picture.
I really hope I get around to adding color to this one.

Tonight's one of those nights where I just sit here in my room, all by myself, save for my pal Jack Daniel's and I think to myself:
God damnit, I'd sure like to watch one of my friends vomit.
Yes, it's times like this, that I watch the following.
And just like that, all of a sudden, all is well with the world.

Ok, I told you I'd post this in my livejournal. Today I finally got my ass around to it. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about... you shall see.
Oh yes... see you shall... the seeing... it shall burn you in your eyes.
This WILL be offensive to some people. That, I can guarantee like a redneck who's bedded with his own sister could guarantee malformed children. (In actuality, there's apparently a pretty low percentage of incestuous relations producing malformed children... just roll with the analogy for fuck's sake)
Without Further APU..... Ado...

I had a great night tonight! I'd like to tell you... but first I must get the approval of my cat's friend. He's a very tentative kitty. What say you, "Proceed Cat"?
I'm feeling better than I have in weeks, indeed in over a frigging month! I went to see Paprika tonight with my friends Rae and Hy and my Brother. Rae's off to Toronto soon, so she gave me my birthday present early. I got a dvd of a whole ton of Horror Movies, none of which I've seen before!!! I'm so excited to watch it. The other present was as hilarious as it was amazing.
A bottle of Jack Daniel's!!! But Rae made up a new label for it, making it look as though Powers Boothe himself brewed this shit with the sheer unfathomable masculine power of his unstoppable mustache and the mind-boggling strength of his jowels. This liquor will no doubt fill my mouth with spiders and chew through the skull of a bison, then go play poker with Hercules, Zeus and Odin, then shoot one of them dead just to prove a point.
That's how fucking manly Powers Boothe, and thus this bottle of alcohol, truly is.
Paprika... what a great fucking movie. Watching it cheered me up alot. It was such a beautifully done movie that it just made everything seem so cool. There's beauty to everything again. I really feel like I can admire things for being awesome, just as I used to. There's a smile on my face as I write this... and that hasn't happened in so long.
I just baked cookies, and they turned out better than anytime I've ever made them.
This may be dangerous to say, and hypocritical of me after the way I've been for the last while, but I'm pretty hopeful for my quickly approaching 24th year.

To all my friends. Yup, that's right, all a y'alls:
I've been a shut-in for about a month now. I've missed many a Sanctuary, skipped several Sin Cities and curled into fetal position in my room, pretending the world didn't exist several times.
That Sucks, and I apologise.
Good has come from it though, I feel much more myself than I had before. I've been working out, and sticking to it. I've even begun noticing that my hard work has paid off. The weight that sloughed off me during my sentence at eBay has begun to return, but it's taking the form of not so crappy muscle.
Ok, so I'm not huge. I doubt I ever will be, but it's cool to look at myself in the mirror and actually see that I'm starting to look a little healthier.
Yeah, that's the word... healthy. Has a nice ring to it.
That being said, I will be coming out to Sin City this weekend. I'll even be wearing my police hat! I think I'll even throw my aviators on, just to complete the ensemble. It should be pretty funny.
During my absence, I had to battle creatures like pneumonia (coughing blood up = pooo) and I actually took a trip to Portland, Oregon to check out Convergence 13. I had alot of fun while I was there to be quite honest. I met a bunch of cool people, ran into many people from Vancouver (Michael and Elaine, Miriam, and ISAAC!!! The man flew down there for ONE NIGHT to DJ an afterparty for Skinny Puppy... it is impossible to not respect the hell out of that man for his dedication.)
It was really cool being there... I was ridiculously social with people I'd never met before. Everyone was totally receptive to my humor, and it just felt like I was talking to people I'd known for a really long time as opposed to the complete strangers we technically were. All in all, it was a load of fun, but I have to say I'm glad to be back.
Portland was a beautiful city, everything looked so... significant? Buildings looked older, more lived in, and things seem a bit more appreciated than they are here. I saw an anti-war protest march down the street and couldn't help but be impressed! I've seen protests here, read the organisational emails for them, and they don't stack up. Protests here consist of hippies smoking weed on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
Their protest had instruments! They played music, had stickers (I walked up to the guy handing them out and asked for one. He was so happy that I was taking an interest! My sticker says "IMPEACH"... Bush, they mean) and looked ORGANISED... not doped up and saying crap like "Bush is like Big Brother man! He's gonna destroy the world man!" Euuuughh... 1984 was a BOOK, not a PROPHECY! Calm the crap down and get your priorities straight.
Ahem... sorry... tangent.
There just seemed to be a greater sense of pride there. Even the homeless people were polite and accepting when you said you didn't have any change. I found myself actually wanting to give them change because they didn't swear at me and say they were going to kill everyone if I didn't give them anything.
All those things taken into consideration however... there really is no place like home. Portland is great, but I love Vancouver. I know I downplayed it, but we really have it good here. The goth scene here has it REALLY lucky here too. We don't really realise how awesome things are here cause we see it every week. It may lose its magic to us, but honestly we have amazing DJ's (The DJ's there went from one track to another with NO CROSS FADING at all! There was no actual mixing from one song to another, no consistent tempo, no matching of beats... nuthin. We've got it GOOD in that respect.) , pretty awesome venues and WAY more cool clothing stores and stuff.
Hah, I'll stop my ramble here. I'm just looking forward to seeing people again.

I honestly have no words to express how hilarious I found this...
To quote Sean Stayte, creator and guy who submitted the picture:
Here is my design for the Olympic logo. It is very simple and so memorable. The hands represent London pulling together to reveal the Olympics.
This truly is for great justice...

I have completed another short little story in my ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) spyder_bite journal. I'm really pretty proud of this one. It's totally the kind of theme I had envisioned for my new journal, it's an idea I came up with completely on the fly today, and it was done in a little more than an hour.
I hope everyone checks it out! (And friend the journal if you like the stuff in it, it could use some company ^_^)

Ok... so I went to work, it was a slow day. There was little food in the house and I was hungry... lame
At work I talked to Bree about how sweet bagpipe music was. We listened to Dropkick Murphy's and Flogging Molly's and rambled on about our punk upbringings and how badass whiskey is.
So work ends and I come home.
I come home to bagpipe music and Jack Daniel's and Coke and tales of my uncle's and my dad's whalley upbringing.
MY BROTHER JUST RIPPED A PHONE BOOK THE FUCK IN HALF
There he is... with two halves of a fucking phonebook!
I'm going to eat me some burgers.

Our savior has arisen from deh sea! Th'world shall crumble as it rightly must!
Oh, and Dagon said to tell you 'He sorry, Dagon just want friendz'.
Different update, still sick, saving monies, but I worked out today! That was fun and left my arms feeling all floppy. I intend to actually stick to it this time. No impromptu trips to girlfriends house to throw off my workout schedule (and yeah right, like it was anybody's fault but mine in the first place.)
Not saying I'm going to be anything muscular anytime soon, or ever. I could never bring myself to ever get HUGE. I just don't think it'd be me... unless I were like Mickey Rourke. That man is fucking solid. However, I'll hopefully be looking less waify by summer's end.

... but I can't help but want to puke up the contents of my stomach for the last week after the shit I saw today.
Humanity's been bugging my alot lately... I've really been noticing some pretty dispicable shit going on with alot of people. Whether it's friends, or complete strangers... people I've known for years or just faceless names in the reader's page in the newspaper, human beings are just getting on my fucking nerves. It's killing my sense of compassion and making me care less and less what the fuck happens to people.
Most recently I've noticed these infuriating demonstrations in the wake of tragedies. Unfortunately, there's been a whole lot of them occuring lately. This clusterfuck of sad events is a small fraction of why I've been so horribly unhappy lately, and I'm about to tell you all why! No reason to read this if you're already having a good day. I haven't ranted in ages, and this one is going to be particularly venomous... so I'll hide it under a slash/cut and let you read at your own pace, or ignore it as a wise person would.
