wow...this is...yeah this is somethin'





Remix of the "Leave Britney Alone" video. Remix/video by Jon Kinnear. If you think about it, it's pretty catchy. And to those say that it's wrong to make fun of poeple like Chris Crocker, I have this to say to you, my friends: He[She] asked for it.

just kidding. I lied

The sequel will be on the NEXT post :P

anyways here are some informal movie reviews for movies I've watched these past few weeks:

1) Pan's Labyrinth- 5 stars! Great plot, great setting, AWESOME MUSIC, and cool special effects. Rated R.

2) Hannibal Rising- 4 1/2 stars. It was really good. Setting was great, casting was impeccable (Gaspard Ulliel XDDDD). Acting was perfect. Some of the character's accents threw off the characterization. Screenplay written by Thomas Harris himself, but not much like the book (or thats wat the fans say. Poorly received by audiences. Rated R

3) 300- 5 stars! PERRFECT film effects. The perfect degree of suspense and drama. Casting was AWESOME! (Gerard Butler XDDD) Special effects were remarkable. Well received :) Rated R

4) Notes on a Scandal- 3 stars. Graphic, and too much drama. What I did like was the casting; Judi Dench and Cate Blanchette really collaborate well. Rated R

5) Far From Heaven- 4 stars. It was okay. It was really dramatic. The situation is wierd. The setting is really nice though. The characterization portrayed by Julianna Moore was impeccable. Rated PG-13

6) Away From Her-4 1/2 stars. Sweet movie. I really liked it. But there isn't really any climax to the plot. It's more of a monotone story. Great back story. Rated R (I think)

7) Meet the Fockers- 5 stars! I honestly CANNOT believe I didn't watch it sooner. It's HILARIOUS!

8) Fracture- 4 1/2 stars. I loved Anthony Hopkins's acting in this movie; he seems to like playing sadistic and clever criminals who bust out of jail by means of critical thinking.It reminded me of his role in Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. Overall, the acting was great. I didn't really get the plot because my rambunctious cousins were over and wanted to play the nintendo 64 (yeah, I'm a little out-dated...)

GUESS WHO TALKED TO DAVEY HAVOK OVER THE PHONE?!

...none other than the slum child herself. She stayed up past the late hours and on to the early hours trying to call the station. After about an hour and a half, they picked up the phone. Haha...I'll bet she was being her bubbly self. I'm sure he was charmed.



PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THE SLUM-CHILD IS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO READ MY PREVIOUS POST ON HER. THEN YOU'LL SEE WHY I PUT A PICTURE OF TIFA TALKING TO A PICTURE OF DAVEY HAVOK...

pbbbbbbbt!

This is a poem I had to write for my English class. Real stupid. And I think I've stressed the definition of "free verse" to its breaking point. That's pretty much all there is to say about it...

Ode to Desolate Mother

I need sleep, you’d say
Of course! You’ve been up since the crack of dawn
And you haven’t known rest since
Who knew that the moment I walked in your presence
That you would just snap?
Did you even consider that I might’ve been having a good day?
That by your prominent sigh of exasperation
You could’ve dissolved my feel-good glow
Into your super-massive vortex of gloom?

Now that you’ve recruited me into your army of misery,
Who should I get next?
Dad? The happy-go-lucky guy?
You should get him
You can make him irritable and moody in a blink of an eye
I’ll provoke the sibling
Now that you’ve recruited me into your army of misery,
Who should I get next?
Dad? The happy-go-lucky guy?
You should get him
You can make him irritable and moody in a blink of an eye
I’ll provoke the sibling

We’re now currently under the extensive dismal, apathetic cloud
Which you have created.
Thanks. A lot.
So now as we go about our gloomy business,
I’d like to point out
MISERY GOES WITH HAPPINESS
LIKE PLAID AND POLKA DOTS.

.....

Mom, I love you.
But next time,
Please let me wallow in my moments of mirth
Before you decide that my garish presence
Must be extinguished.

hmmm....maybe it would have sounded better if I read it to the class...

....
...

O.O"""""

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang....

...is my last name. Seriously, it is. so yeah, its been...3 weeks since my last post? OH.MY.GOSH. I still didn't take that graphic picture off?!? Ah well, ill keep it for old times sake. If you don't like it, notice that i put "please ignore this" next to it. HEED THE NOTE. Anyways, here are some things that're going on:

1. My teachers are crazy...like diabolical crazy. I was playing this dodgeball-related game and it was between me and my PE teacher. She crouched like a wild animal with two fleece balls in her hands. I had two chances to wipe her out. She started this Hannibal Lecter act with the sharp teeth and the psychopathic wild-eye. I seriously considered surrendering. But i decided to give it a try. I threw both of my fleece balls at her. She dodged with a move that was like Tom Cruise in MI3. I ran. She got me in the back (*imaginary gunshot sound*) So yeah, my teachers are awesome.

2. Theres this gay/straight allinace club at my school...i didn't want to even consider it...it probably gets really ugly, if you know wat i mean.

3. straight A's so far...physics is a pain, I'm sitting on the fence between an A- and a B+ if i fall off on the wrong side (figuratively speaking) I'm gonna get my butt whooped (literally speaking; parental units are of an asian race)

4. Chris Crocker needs psychological help. [Now, don't hate me for this, but] I do think that he believes he's a woman....seriously, does he think he can just grow female genitals by just wishing them there? MY GOSH! EITHER GO UNDER THE PROCEDURE OF HETEROSEXUAL CONVERSION, OR CHANGE UR GENDER! PICK ONE! PEOPLE ONLY LIKE YOU BECAUSE UR A FREAK! WAIT...NEVERMIND! (>_>) AND BRITNEY SPEARS IS JUST HOPELESS UNLESS SHE STOPS TAKING DRUGS. EVERYONE KNOWS SHE CAN'T. DEAL WITH IT, DUDE/DUDETTE!

5. started to listen to 90's/80s music; radiohead, jimi hendrix, rolling stones, and the cure. awesome.

6. I'm supposed to be doing homework, but i decided that now was the perfect time to make a blog post.

7. Hey, if you like to buy awesome T-shirts for a good cause, visit
http://www.yellowbirdproject.com (oh my gosh, I sounded like a spammer just now. And yes, ur gonna have to copy/paste.) A few musicians/bands have designed some T-shirts to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. You can buy me one if you want >=D

8. I'm reading Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris. It was made into a movie in the 90's i think. I wanna watch it. The DVD was at Walmart packages as a double feature with its sequel Hannibal. It was $14. I went last week and they were sold out. I NEED IT.

9. i really need to do my homework...ah well, i don't have that much anyway.

10. no number ten, i feel incomplete.

And yeah, thats wat's going on...now i have to do homework. Highschool doesn't graduate itself, you know.

dummy



Inspired by the ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his oh-so-popular and outrageous Charlie McCarthy, I've invented a character of my own: Dr. Alfred Patterson. He's a psycho therapist. Arrogant, yet comical. This is my first drawing of him, and I might have some small revisions done. PLEASE NOTE: SAY HE'S UGLY AND I'LL CONJURE UP SOME SORT OF TROUBLE FOR YOU THAT ONLY SOMEONE LIKE ME CAN BE CAPABLE OF ^^

My inspiration (once again):

Something to smile about

I promised my friend oh-so-many months ago that I would make a blog entry about her.
So here it is:

BEHOLD, THE CALIFORNIAN ESKIMO!




(PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT the real person, for the actual subject of this blog entry had requested [or demanded, more like] that I removed the previous picture [due to poor quality and no consent]and add the one above instead. Therefore, no accurate visual could be provided.)

Anyway, not only is my best friend look like a slum-child (or so she and I would say), she has the brilliant mind of a multi-media junkie. Frankly, I don't think that Advent Children (or anything to do with Final Fantasy for that matter) is anything to completely lose your mind to. Nonetheless, she's completely lost in a blur of internet,music,and television. HOWEVER, her interests are not POINTLESS (hence the "BRILLIANT" in "BRILLIANT mind of a multi-media junkie) She has TEDIOUSLY made many AMV's. For example:


This was her very first AMV, which she learned how to make herself shortly after being introduced to Advent Children...which I ought to mention sealed her destiny most likely for the rest of her life.(and to think that she HATED anime some time ago!)

Aside from making AMV's, she also spends a fraction of her time...everyday to call her radio dj friends. Well, pestering and stalking radio dj's would be a more accurate statement. Through those radio dj's, she's spoken with Mickey Avalon. She's messaged many newer bands on Myspace including Mister Loveless and 5th Oracle whom she's promoted to the radio dj's who played their songs on the radio. In fact, 5th Oracle thought that she worked for the music industry and gave her their phone number. Yet she told them that she was an immature 14-year-old...though it seems she's very successful for her age, in my opinion.

So, with all of her successes out of the way, I'd like to talk about something that is very dear to her heart:

BEHOLD, THE SLUM-CHILD'S SHOES!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

This pair of shoes have been stretched beyond its limits through PE classes and general daily activity. Eventually, these shoes gave way due to natural causes and became the new grunge...then when I tried to fix them with duct tape, they became the new vintage. Here is something I said when I commented this particular picture:

"Those shoes work it for the camera like no other"

And this is what she said in reply:

"lol. thanks jules! dang, my mom threatened to throw them away if dont stop wearing them in public."

Let me clarify her comment; her mother does not want other people to think that she mistreats her daughter by giving her rags. Honestly, though, my best friend couldn't be prouder of those shoes.

And, well, that's about all I can say about her for now. Unless, of course, she surprises me with another one of her phases (which she seems to never fail to do, by the way)

Blah...blah..blah...blah...

My mind has gone and taken a sweet trip into another dimension, leaving my body desolate and...and...I don't want to bother with vocabulary right now. But these words ran through my mind when I saw this one AFI video blog on youtube...er.. the video could not be provided due to lack of energy...Anyways...

I've just finished this amazing book



Its about vampires..and a suspenseful, thrilling romance. Read it. You won't be able to put it down once you start.

If this were me, I'd be scared



This is a sick, masochistic Japanese gameshow...that's all there is to say

My computer is going Mexican on me

My computer is yelling in Spanish. It all started when I got a message from YouTube:




I wasn't too sure if it was Spanish...but then I opened it. And what do you think should happen?:



Please note: I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED. STUPID YOUTUBE....

fascinating...



A very interesting music video, indeed...not to mention completely out of the ordinary. For one thing, there's a strangley dressed girl with hair that looks as if it were made of clay. For another thing, she's following a broken college mascot of a bunny into the guitarist's crotch. The guitarist acts as if he doesn't feel a thing. I wonder if he did...? The world inside is shocking. Let's just leave it at that. But the thing that really got me was the fact that the guitarist can exist in his own body ( not to mention the rest of the band too) as if he can leave his body vacant and just go inside himself...that's the clearest way I could put it.

Friday, June 22, 2007

So this is how it happened...

**Time: *IN THE FUTURE* June 22, 2112
Quite a while ago, when I was about 10, my life had changed forever. My family owned a ceramic pottery shop back in the day. We sold everything from orchid flower pots to tiny Japanese teacups. One day, I was trimming a rose to make it perfect to put in the store window with a collection of vases. A few days before, I heard the owner of a Round Table Pizza next door yelling at a repair man that obviously wasn't qualified for the job. Apparently, he insisted that he fixed whatever was wrong with the shop. I was a bit curious about what got the man so aggravated, but I knew it was wrong to meddle. And on that day, I finally found out what was going on. There was a gas leak in Round Table Pizza. Ironically the Health Department gave the shop an "A." Then again I don't think a gas leak is any health issue. Anyway, the gas leak was ignited by one of the cook's oh-so-popular plain cheese pizzas. And what do you think should happen? BAM! Before I knew it, there was nothing left of the last ever Round Table Pizza (the last honest pizza).The delivery people who didn't die in the explosion fled for Canada to avoid drafting. (Meanwhile, back at our little, fragile shop) The explosion was PHENOMENAL. Chaotic, but phenomenal. I was thrown through the glass store window and fell into a coma for a month. I awoke from my dormant state and realized that as I was blasted through solid glass that this happened for a reason. It was like a sign from God. I found myself in that explosion. But I lost all of my moral standards. And that's how I started my career as an arsonist. THE END.

JEEZ!

I went to this freak-aquarium a couple months ago..for school, of course. The first thing I saw when I walked in was stuffed seagulls hanging from the ceiling. There was taxidermy EVERYWHERE. You name it, they killed it and put it on display. The craziest thing I saw at this freak-show was a glass case full of scat samples. And I hope you know what I mean by that. Poop. Crap. There was elephant poop, grasshopper poop, goat poop, and every kind of poop you could possibly think of. Fascinating they say. There is a special word for people who find examining animal waste fascinating. Crapologists. Crapologists who study crapology.CRAP. there was a penguin exhibit. There was a viewing place with cushions for the kids to sit as they see the caretakers feed the penguins. The pillows remained untouched. They were infested with penguin filth...most likeley. At the end of the day, I went to the gift shop. I hadn't eaten any lunch, so I decided to go buy some candy. They sold chocolate-covered insects and insects in amber. Who'da thunk that those crapologists expect to make a profit off of this...crap? In fact, who would want to see taxidermy and crap samples? I'd rather go to the zoo where the animals and their crap is behind bars...

How Being an Only Child Can Be A Very Good Thing

My little sister is a blood-sucking demon child...who just pretends you day "yes" everytime you say "no" and does whatever the hell she wants. She might as well not ask permission at all...hfuiahetfdhsatjhasuihfkwjgestjidsthjdnf....that's all I have to say. Here are five reasons why it's good to be an only child:

1. You know every piece of childish property belongs to you, therefore there will be no disputes about who had which video game..or...Barbie *cough*

2. You are not asked of anything that involves bribery or blackmail...siblings know everything it seems.(parents force you to do what they ask or they beat you with something...a bamboo stick in my case...)

3. No alliances against the eldest sibling (usually if there is more than one younger sibling)

4. If you lose something, most likely you'll know that you're the one who lost it...grown-ups never lose anything...or so they say...

5. NO MEANINGLESS NOISE!

Even now I think back and wonder why I even asked for a younger sister...I guess it was because I was 8 and unaware of destructive pests...but now that I'm going through my so called awkward teenage years, my eyes have been opened...only to see the world going up in smoke. All in all, I guess it's better to be smothered and insane than alone and insane.

Let's Talk About Hair

We all know that the blondes and the brunettes have been militant and resentful towards each other most of the time. Take that one commercial about hair products for example: the two disputing sides were talking smack about each other. "Yeah, brunettes look so pretty...with their mustaches and all..."-The Blondes (figures...) But even through all of this rage and hate, there all still people who try to keep the peace. Some may say the red heads, but that's not always true, though. Red heads are an independent minority group...I doubt they would want to get involved with the conflict between the blondes and the brunettes. Some may say Lindsay Lohan, "Hell, she changes her hair color every friggin month! Black, blonde, red, brown you name it..." Well...yeah..okay...but Lindsay, in my view, only changes her hair color because she's confused and indecisive. Pick a color, Lindsay! I think that people like Jade Puget have hair that says, "Stop fighting, children! Be happy with the hair color God gave your peers and friends!"

Wind Up Audio Mix

I have to do this project in my peer advisory class where i have to make my own mix of favorite music...I was actually surprised when i was assigned this...I thought I would have to sit in a circle and talk about my feelings like an Oprah show...well anyway, this is my playlist:

1.Prelude 12/21-AFI
2.Intro-Gorillaz
3.Butterflies and Hurricanes-Muse
4.Bring To Life- Evanescence
5.Helena-My Chemical Romance
6.There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered, Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it yet-Panic At the Disco
7.Feel Good Inc.-Gorillaz
8.Best of You-Foo Fighters
9.Love Like Winter-AFI
10.Lacrymosa-Evanescence
11.Apocalypse Please- Muse
12.Wake ME Up When September Ends-Green Day
13.The Ghost Of You-My Chemical Romance
14.Summer Shudder-AFI
15.My Immortal-Evanescence

Even if this assignment was one of the best ones assigned in a while..there's still a catch-I have to write a sentence or so for each song describing its significance to me...ain't that just...peachy?

I have the video!

I couldn't post the actual video on here because it's on a different site WHICH IS NOT YOUTUBE (GRR!). But they did ask my question (near the beginning), which was awesome. So i have the link. Remember: I'm Julie (im blowing my own cover..psh...watever) and I asked "What would you name a song inspired by the sight of children leaping through a garden sprinkler?" (and they said I couldn't get off from work! How old do they think I am?! But watever, they laughed at my question..which was my goal i guess..) please tell me what they said...or at least give me a guess cause i haven't a clear idea of what they answered.I heard "we and peeing" So here's the link:
The Shins on the Woody Show At Live 105 (answering my somewhat disturbed question)

NO EFFIN WAY!

Okay, it started out like this: there was this contest at my local radio station, Live 105. You can submit questions to the morning show to ask a band called the Shins. If they like your question, they'll invite you to go meet the band and ask them your question. I sent an email to the morning show at about 6:17 on the morning of the last day to submit questions. That afternoon when I came home from school I checked my messages. There was one from Greg Gory from the morning show. I read the email and it said (quote) "We'd like you to join us tommorrow!" and i was like OH, CRAP-OH-LA! I asked my mom (more like groveled) if i could go. Unfortunately it was on a school day...during school. My mom said no, which was expected. I already invited my friend and when I told her I couldn't go, she was just as upset as I was. I was forced to email the station to tell them i couldn't go, but I did ask them to read my question anyway so i could hear the reply. They compassionately agreed. On the day of the almost Shins encounter, me and my friend were drowning ourselves in sorrow...I, personally, felt like a a herd of cows chased out of a nice,green pasture by wild horses, locked out, and was forced to eat weeds. Yesterday, my friend called one of the radio djs that were on in the afternoon and told him of our horrible luck. He played the Shins song, "Phantom Limb" and mentioned our incident on the radio. Of course, I thought this was a bit ironic...in a sense...Anyway, as soon as the station posts the video of the interview on the site, I will post it up on this blog...I look forward to seeing the Shins's reaction to my question. By the way, my question was "What would you call a song that was inspired by the sight of children leaping througha garden sprinkler?" (yeah i coined it from my profile question, but it was originally a ballet that was being named. Since the Shins are musicians, I figured they would rather name a song.)

I'm so ashamed!

Darn my shameful ignorance! I just found out now, at 10:11 PM, that it is Friday the 13th. I am completely mortified! I can't even think of the right words to describe my embarrassment. It's like Miss America realizing her bikini was too tight..too late. Yeah, it's like that. I hope I can laugh about this when I am rich and successful...but the weak tend to remember horrid experiences

To Be Announced...

There will soon be a got milk commercial (made by urs truly...with limited...resources and materials used...) It will be humorous...and depressing...like what happens when you separate a broken child from the nutritional goodness of dairy products...(well now you get the idea of what the commercial is to be about...I shall say no more...)

A musician's need to a annunciate, or a fan's habit of mishearing?



This is one of my most favorite songs from AFI. Often times when I hear it on the radio, I try to sing along and yet no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to keep up with the lyrics. Then one day, I finally said," That's it! Time to end this once and for all!" I switched on the computer, typed in "silver and cold lyrics" on Google, and scanned the lyrics with a critical eye. What I saw was completely mortifying. All this time I've been singing the wrong lyrics. I began to cry. Not only because the real lyrics were so beautiful, but also because of my shameful ignorance and idiotic interpretations. So here's my advice to all of you: always look up the lyrics before yo decide to sing along with any song...to save yourself some humiliation.

Merry Easter to you, mate

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Shown above is the Easter egg that I decorated. Since I wasn't able to decorate a real egg (possibly because my teachers belive that teenagers are much to mature to decorate eggs and go egg hunting...) I have drawn a circle and got creative. In my opinion, I think that its easier to celebrate Easter this way, besides attending mass and all that. It's a no-mess activity, therefore your mom won't be chasing you out of her kitchen aka "domain" with a red-hot poker.It's also easier to draw on, so you can make your egg resemble...just about anything egg-shaped. As for egg hunting, I suppose you can hide them in secret places of your neopets account..or your blogspot account (which I'm not exactly inclined to do for fear of not remembering where I put my lovely works of art) So go make your egg now...before Easter is over...

Don't bother watching this shameful disgrace of a film

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
I rented this movie, and I have to say, it's rather...INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING. The acting was good, but the director could have at least took the liberty of making movie..based on the book! I mean, the events are all out of order, and the characters aren't how they are described in the book. Arya looks like Marilyn Monroe when she's supposed to look like Arwen from LOTR, Durza has a pot belly and BLUE EYES (when the book clearly stated he had maroon eyes), Brom doesn't even look like an ancient old man ( barely has any gray hair..probably because he shaved half of it off, along with his beard...) Uncle Garrow looks Dutch, and Angela looks like...a bewitched..prostitute! And Solembum-wait- Solembum wasn't even in the movie!The only thought that was in my mind half way through the movie was to take a gun and shoot the dvd player...then buy a new one to watch X-men. Darn you to heck,Stefen Fangmeier, because of you I am a broken child. I guess his intent was not to make the movie 4 hours long (which is thoroughly predictable)BUT IS IT SO HARD TO STICK TO THE BOOK?! Take The Lord of the Rings for example, they made it 3 hours long, but they kept to the book. AND THEY WON A LOAD OF OSCARS. So...I think I've made my point...my next move is to swear revenge against the screenwriters of this movie...and I will do that by making a better version of the Eragon..called "ERAGON" (with all capitols)...even if I have to keep viewers in the movie theater for 4 hours..oh well, bring extra popcorn and make sure u stretch your legs out once in a while.

Which came first-the chicken or the egg?

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketPhoto Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
We've all heard the question "which came first-the chicken or the egg?" sometime in our lives. (If you haven't, then you either born yesterday, or spent your entire life living as an albino afraid of the sun). This question is seemingly impossible to answer, or so most people say. In a sense this belief is actually a fact. At first, you would believe that since chickens come from eggs, it would make sense that the egg came first. However, you would wonder where the egg came from, because eggs come from chickens. Then you think-"Wait, eggs come from chickens;chickens come from eggs. It's a cycle with no beginning, so there isn't an answer to this question! HA! Take THAT Dalai Lama!" Well,in my view, if you were to think about how an egg hatched, you may find a rather different answer. For example, an egg needs nuturing from its mother; without it it would not be able to hatch. If, say, God were to leave a single chicken egg out cold and alone, it would just sit there until it evolved into the first bare rock. So you now know that an egg can't hatch on its own. You may also know that chickens are the closest relatives to the dinosaurs, which makes them..pretty much ancient...therefore, if you were to look at the question this way, the chicken would have come first. Just to let all you know, this was my view of the question. It is not biased in any way whatsoever (though I do like eating chicken more than eggs...)

This is outrageous!



For all of you AFI fans out there, do you really believe this vile trash? I mean, we know Davey and Jade are very feminine, and, at times, have feminine desires, but it is so obvious that they are not crazed homosexuals. However, the pictures and clips chosen for this video is of perfect taste. Even I found myself squealing in delight. Kudos to yuli91. Anyway, if you would like to see other "Javey" videos (they put their names together! Like Bradgelina! My gosh!)they can be found on youtube.com...just type in JAVEY
