ATTN
glitterfairy25: well? Were there monkeys? XDAn ad overheard on the radio:
May. 18th, 2009 03:02 pmFather: So, what did you learn in school today?
Daughter: We learnt what makes the sky blue. [Father makes impressed sounds] We learnt where mountains come from. [more impressed sounds] Dad? Do you know where mountains come from?
Father: Yeah, ummm, mountains, that’s… uh…
Voice over: You never stop learning. Catholic education makes a world of dirrerence.*
YES, BECAUSE ONLY THE CATHOLICS LEARN ABOUT TECHTONIC PLATES AND LIGHT WAVES.
NO OTHER TYPES OF SCHOOLS COVER THISINCREDIBLY BASIC AND MANDATORY PART OF THE NSW SCHOOLS SYLLABUS SORT OF AMAZINGLY COMPLEX STUFF AND IF THEY TRIED IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE INFERIOR
Quick, everyone, enrol your kids in Catholic school so that they can get this top-notch science schooling!
BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT 'CATHOLICISM' IS SYNONOMOUS WITH 'FIRM GRASP ON AND UNDERSTANDING OF SCIENCE AND REALITY'
Oh those catholics. They crack me up. ♥

*This typo has been pointed out to me, but I'm leaving it in there because the irony of a public schooled kid making such a silly spelling mistake while mocking private schools (or, well, their advertising, at least) for claiming they provide a better education is just too good.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I WANT I WANT I WANT!!!
And I totally always said he'd ride a bike. Didn't I always say he'd ride a bike? I totally said he'd ride a bike, and he totally does. Well. And INTO PEOPLE YESSSS. I LOVE IT WHEN THEY MAKE HIM AWESOME. There is that thing about going mad and declaring war on everyone and wah wah wah Mishima bloodline and wah that I'm not so keen on, BUT I DON'T CARE. MOTORBIKES.
AND AND AND
THE GRAPHICS! THE PRETTY PRETTY GRAPHICS! AND AND THAT PUNCH! WHERE HE JUST COMES STRAIGHT DOWN. AND AND god i hope that move's in the gameplay
AND AND AND
THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. AND THE DEFINITION OF FEATURES. I HAVE NEVER SEEN JIN'S NOSE LIKE THAT AND OH MY GOD THE FEATURES AND AND AND
AND WITH THE MUTUAL PUNCH. AND THAT SMIRK OF KAZUYA'S
IT ALL LOOKS SO COOL
I WANTS IT NOW
AND IS LING EVER NOT GOING TO BE IN HIGHSCHOOL??
WANTS WANTS WANTS
And I won't get it for MONTHS, because it's not even due out overseas until, like, October, and we never get games at the same time as America and Japan, or even England. DAMN YOU SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE AND YOUR DAMN PAL-FORMAT!!
*wants wants wants wants*
ETA: And hey, Kazuya's wearing white and Jin's in black. SYMBOLISM, WOO. BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN? ARE THEY JUST BEING SUBVERSIVE? They do both look better in those colours though. And I love Jin in that jacket. Now if only they can not make it look awkward in the gameplay. AND GIVE THEM SENSIBLE SHOES.
BY THE WAY.
I was already pretty excited about this. Despite the bad track record of game to movie adaptations in the past, this one shows promise, and I can't help but be thrilled over anything involving one of my first games and favourite franchises (and my first fandom, even), especially seeing as though it revolves around my favourite character.
However, this has just brought on a whole new spate of yesyesyesfeckyes.
JIN. A STREETFIGHTING, BLOODY KNUCKLED, POSSIBLY EVEN SLIGHTLY BADASS BUT VERY DEFINITELY DISHY EITHER WAY, CORRECT LOOKING JIN!
JIIIIIIIN.
WANT WANT WANT WANT NOW

Apr. 6th, 2009 11:03 pmSo, on Saturday, went with highlyeccentricand kaylouleeto see phrasemuffinin Pirates, which was fantastic, and the P-Miff was great and so funny. We then went out to tea, where I found out that K is, without doubt, the single coolest person I know.
(3771, this is the part I wanted to tell you about)
See, she lives near, and has meet TEX PERKINS. More than that, he MCed the local trivia night, and when he read out a wrong answer, she went up and told him off.
I
I
I
I... words can't even. Just. TEX PERKINS. At a TRIVIA NIGHT. I flailed at her for a full five minutes when I found this out, and she just came out with it quite casually. "Tex Perkins? He's a bastard," she said.
SHE HAS EXPERIENCED FIRST HAND THE AMAZING BASTARDLYNESS THAT IS TEX PERKINS.
I
I
I
I... *flails*
I know I said this the other night, but K I AM COMING TO VISIT YOU and so help me if there is a god I will see Tex Perkins at the pub or down the shops or something I don't even care what because I fecking worship that man and my mind is completely blown at the idea of him doing normal things like MCing trivia nights when in my head all he does is drink whiskey, sing, and somehow make larrikinism look swauve.
I can't even. I would die, if he came to my trivia night. Hell, I would die if he came to my city. I've almost died when he's popped onto my ipod or TV unexpectedly.
I, just, and, Tex Perkins.
*breathes*
Then, in what proved to be a night of much squee, Highly, K and I watched Merlin until quite late. I might be a bit in love with it now. Or, a lot. There was MAGIC and PRETTY and VICTOR MILDREW (which K and Highly didn't get so I will link something later explaining why that is such an epic deal) and PRETTY and FANTASY and ANACHRONISMS (watching it with Medievalists was neeat) and TERRIBLE EFFECTS and FUNNY and SO MUCH HOYAY and PRETTY and and and and *flails*.
Yep, I was quite taken with it, to be perfectly frank.
( And now something that I found hilarious, but may not interest anyone else. )

OKAY. HAVING REVIEWED THE SITUATION VIA WIKIPEDIA AND MULTIPLE VIEWINGS OF THE TRAILER, THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THE DRAGONBALL MOVIE (that no one in the universe saw fit to tell me about despite this being something that really requires MONTHS of antsing up for):
- None of the characters really look like they do in the anime (for obvious reasons, I suppose), yet they have kept Goku's hair style and the orange outfit. I APPROVE OF THIS EMMENSELY.
- I am somewhat hesitant about the casting and acting of Goku. That guy is very… white. And American (which makes absolutely no sense). And dull. And he doesn't seem nearly happy-go-lucky enough. Goku should be fun and cheerful and sweet and dense. And, preferably, given when this thing seems to be set, he should totally speak with that surfer dude accent he had for, like, two movies. That was cool. I have serious reservations about this Goku.
- THE DRAGONBALLS LOOK REALLY COOL.
- Bulma has anime-Bulma-hair-coloured streaks. I like that.
- Also, she is played by the astoundingly beautiful girl from the new Phantom of the Opera. So I know she’s pretty, but can she act? Has she got attitude? It’s so hard to know given that the only thing I’ve seen her in was also one of the worst movies I have ever come across.
- PICCOLO. PICCOLO. He is the wrong shade of green and Evil Piccolo, not good, grumpy Piccolo, who sulks around with Vegeta destroying cameras and making sarcastic comments, but still, PICCOLO.
- ... AND HE'S PLAYED BY JAMES MARSTERS HOHMYGODHOHMYGOD.
- Chow Yun Fat… is playing Master Roshi. I don’t think I can quite get my brain around that. They do know that Master Roshi is a crazy, inappropriate old lush, right?
- CHI CHI IS IN IT! I love Chi Chi! Between her and Bulma, DB had two amazing female characters. Like, really kick arse, charismatic, fantastic characters that are among my overall favourites. I really do hope they do them justice. WITH MUCH KICKING OF THE ARSES.
- Where is Krillin?
- Aww, no talking animals? NOT FAIR.
- THERE WILL BE STYLISED MARTIAL ARTS SCENES WITH MOVING REALLY FAST AND STICKS AND CRAZY JUMPING IN THE AIR AND STUFF EEEEEEEEEEE!
- It would make absolutely no sense, but HOW COOL WOULD IT BE IF VEGETA WAS IN IT! Everything is better with Vegeta. He’s so… angry. I love him so much.
- KAAAAAAMEEEEEEHAAAAAAAMEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, BITCHES.

Mar. 23rd, 2009 11:51 pmSee this? This clip right here? While it is one of the funniest things I've ever seen, it is also exactly how I feel about my computer at the moment.
CHARGE, YOU BASTARD. I HAVE AN ASSESSMENT TO DO. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR DAYS. WORK! WORK!
This is really just embarrassing
Feb. 2nd, 2009 12:09 amI keep trying to upload a Hollyoaks icon. It is quite difficult. Know why?
I HAVE ONE HUNDRED AND ONE HOLLYOAKS ICONS ON MY HARD DRIVE.
LITERALLY
ONE HUNDRED AND ONE
THIS IS A SICKNESS
WHY?? WHY DO I HAVE THAT MANY? IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN EVER USE THEM ALL
AND ALL BUT ABOUT SEVEN ARE OF GUY BURNET
SIX OF THOSE SEVEN ARE FUNNY THINGS GUY BURNET HAS SAID
IT IS VERY HARD TO PICK ONE ICON INVOLVING GUY BURNET WHEN ONE HAS ONE HUNDRED AND ONE OPTIONS, EACH AS APPEALING AS THE LAST
WHY MUST HE BE SO ATTRACTIVE TO ME??
A SICKNESS, I TELL YOU

Sep. 20th, 2008 06:59 pmOH MY GOD PEOPLE ELLIPSES ARE NOT AN ALL-PURPOSE PUNCTUATION
IT IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE TO END YOUR SENTENCES WITH A FULLSTOP, OR TO SEPARATE THINGS WITH A COMMA
YES THAT'S RIGHT, ONE DOT IS OKAY. NO ONE IS GOING TO COMPLAIN THAT YOU'RE NOT USING ENOUGH PERIODS
FOR GOODNESS SAKES
GET SOME DAMN CONFIDENCE IN WHAT YOU ARE TYPING AND ACTUALLY MAKE AN EFFING STATEMENT
IF YOU MUST USE ELLIPSES, IT'S THREE DOTS ONLY. Not two, not seventeen, THREE. You never need any more than THREE. NOTHING YOU SAY IS ACTUALLY SO SUSPENSEFUL THAT YOU HAVE TO KEEP PEOPLE HANGING ON FOR MORE THAN THREE DOTS, DAMNIT

Apr. 7th, 2008 12:45 amThis Games assessment is MESSING WITH MY MIND. I take a break and read something or watch telly and I am BEATING DOWN THE IMPULSE TO ADD IN WHAT IS EAST OF THE CHARACTER. WHERE WOULD I EVEN WRITE IT? THE WORLD IS NOT A COMPUTER.
EVERYTHING IS LIKE, The shop is a room. THe lady is a person in the room. THe shop has the description "clothes are hung up everywhere. They are ridiculously over-priced." The Lady has the description "A pretty lady stands by the cashregister. She looks mean." the Cashregister is here. Test cashregister with "play with / smash / steal from". Etc etc IT NEVER ENDS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FRECKING TEDIOUS IT IS TO CREATE A WORLD? EVERY FRECKING DETAIL HAS TO BE ADDED IN ONE BY FRECKING ONE, DEFINING EVERY BLOODY TERM AS YOU GO. THESE GAMES AREN'T EVEN THAT MUCH FUN.
I have so much sympathy for God right now, for srs.
