Tony Stark Likes Redheads



I was checking out the latest pics from Iron Man 2. They included Stark looking hot, Whiplash the new villain looking unwashed, Pepper looking sweet, Stark looking even hotter, and Black Widow, undercover and in a spy outfit.


And then I realized that there was a silver lining to having Johanssen as Natasha, and that was the spy outfit. The figure hugging, zip front spy outfit.


Because you see, the only nemesis nemesis-y enough to be a threat to Stark is one in black PVC with an hourglass shape. That, and a villain whose power is to manifest large amounts of good quality alcohol.


I can’t wait for the new Iron Man! Even though Whiplash looks sorta like a hobo who raided a garage, it will still be a cool movie.



Because Tony Stark. Is. Awesome.



I also saw on ComicVine that a Magdalena movie might be in the works. I’ve never read any of the Top Cow comics, but I used to religiously watch Witchblade on TV.

Witchblade is in no way related to Magdalena, except that they have the same ‘villain’, Darkness. Who also has his own comic book.


In fact, everyone and their distant ancestors who appear in the original Witchblade run have their own comic at Top Cow.


Jenna Dewan is attached apparently, and if you guys have forgotten who she is, she’s the girl who spent endless hours of screentime with Channing Tatum in Step Up. I think she’s a bit short, but she’s pretty cute and not Megan Fox, so that’s good.



Speaking of Megan Fox (because everyone is anyway) she’s also jumping on the comic heroine bandwagon (again), rumoured to be signed to play the mostly naked protagonist of Fathom, Aspen Matthews.

Which is kind of correct I guess. Every other image of Aspen is lacking in what we like to call outer clothes, much like every other image of Megan Fox.



In other news, fans of Superman (yep, all five of you) be warned: DC is losing rights to its gayest character within the next four years or so.


That means they will no longer be able TO PUBLISH SUPERMAN COMIC BOOKS HA HA HA.


Sucks to you, wonderboy. That’s what you get for prancing around in BLUE TIGHTS and not being as cool as Batman. Or Tony Stark.



I spent a pleasant day baking brownies and watching Serenity, the movie of one of the greatest ever tv series that I have yet to watch. Haha.


Anyway, it’s always gives me great joy to watch (again) the disgustingly handsome Simon Tam save his psychotic ballerina sister and then hook up with the rest of the crew of Serenity, with dialogue by Joss Whedon.


Simon Tam (to his sister, River): If shooting starts, just run away as fast as you can. Get somewhere safe, get away. (Eyeing the rest of the crew in the ship with her and saying in a loud whisper) It’s ok to leave them to die.


Malcolm: Simon, I swear to you, if anything happens to your sister…I’d get real choked up. Really upset. There might even be tears.




For two minutes of pure anime awesomeness.

Her

If you could pull my heart
From this stormy ocean
Into the frigid arms of life
I will go back again and find her
My whole life to lie beside her
And what follows there behind her
Is just a darker dying side of her


I love her as night loves death
Anger loves fire
As hate loves breath
The ice and rage, another stage
Of our passions, another page
In this book of ruined words
Choking at the back of our throats
As birds fall from the sky


And when they ask me
Why I love her
I have to tell them
It’s the translucence of her skin
It’s the horror of the ghost within
All the lies that stain me told
In the pattern of her hair they unfold


Forgive me, I have need of her
And if death may part us
I will see her
And if my frozen lips do part to tell
The terrors of her unearthly charm
There is no harm
For there is no better hell
Than in her arms.

#6 Temporary Trials - The Librarian

Nothing much has happened since the last update. I am now confined to the library, listing books with the dream of creating a reference that is both understandable and artistic. Which is impossible, but I try.

Found out a couple days ago that the chambering student/ lawyer slightly annihilated his sleek bronze Audi. Wondered what car he is driving now. Saw him drive away in a BMW yesterday.
I wonder if he accidentally sort of destroys the BMW, if he'll be driving a Jaguar to work the next day.

Am currently reading Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Uncle sent a compilation of all six books in the trilogy, and the whole is fatter than my cat. Which may sound impossible, but there you have it. Will be leaving for Johor in two weeks. Less than a week actually.
From there reality will crash into my peaceful slumbering and I will have to get a job, or die of shame.

Take A Break

I borrowed 3 books from the library.

1. The Nature of Monsters

2. The Blood of Flowers

3. Secrets of the Chess Machine

This proves that I am a sucker for interesting titles. I was even BS-ed into borrowing and actually reading Special Topics in Calamity Physics because it sounded so quaint. It turned out to be the greatest waste of time since my ex-boyfriend.

But that is the only anomaly. Black is the Colour of My True Love's Heart, The Meaning of Night, The Wooden Sea, The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay, The Voyage of the Narwhal, A Philosophical Investigation have all been wonderful wonderful wonderful. I wish that I could write here every book I borrowed for its name that has left a happy little mark on my memory, even the ones with only a one-word title, because their incredibleness is not contained by the size of their title.

Isn't it cool? I mean, I would write a book just so that I could name it something interesting. Just so that I can imagine someone spotting it while browsing through shelves and thinking, Hey, that looks interesting, or What is it about?

Wouldn't that be nice? In the world of Cadbury. Etc etc etc.
I'm hungry.

Hungry Like the Wolf

Since everyone is being all internal and philosophical, I thought I'd be that too. Since my posts have so far only been aboutcute guys cute guys cute guys cute guys...and Chace Crawford.
(Chace Crawford is not a cute guy; cute guy models itself after Chace Crawford).


You know what, maybe I don't feel like being philosophical. Life is sucky as it is, analysing it will probably reduce me to a coma like state where I will never be able to eat pancakes again.

I actually wanted to talk about Megan Fox and allllllll the hype about her being a lousy role model for women, and placing guys expectations of women's hotness at fantasy levels, and their expectations of women's intelligence at toilet levels.

But thinking about the Transformers movie gave me a headache from its sheer stupidity, so I just think the whole thing is like those robot twins - painful and unnecessary. Of course she's going to act like she's practically retarded! That's part of the fantasy! She's an actor for goodness sake. Her image is that of a highly paid porn star. I'm sure she's perfectly capable of a gramatically-friendly sentence in real life, and if not so what? You can't expect everyone to be Misha Collins.

And anyway, it applies to us women too. For this, I assume men are around the same intelligence as women (although I am proven wrong time and time again, I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, as we are of the same species, and who can we depend upon when the fish revolt if not each other).

See, even though we women find the likes of Ed Westwick and Daniel Henney incredibly attractive and super-gorgeous both in and out of character, does not mean we expect all men in real life to be in any way as cool, interesting, driven, undeniably handsome, well-dressed, classy and intelligent as these two.

Because we are realists.

Just like in real life, men don't really expect women to know anything about cars or bikes, have constantly glossed lipe, look like barbie, act like she enjoys being a slut and have little to no education.

Taa daa. There. Now no one should get mad at Megan Fox.

Holy shit. I couldn't even Google 'fox' without half of the images being upper class porno pics of Megan Fox.
Fox Dude, you have so been pwned. It's time to change your name.

Heel Chace Turn

I was reading collegecandy when I realised that Chace Crawford and Zac Efron look very similar.

Very. Similar.

So went on a google image hunt to find proof of my theories when I stumbled upon Jared Leto.

But then while looking at pictures of all three, I was completely distracted by Chace Crawford. He smiles in nearly every picture! It was so hard to find pictures of all three of them in similar poses because he smiles so much.

Okay, okay. This post is actually to tell everyone what a beautiful smile Chace Crawford has.




Just kill me already for gods sake.

Dean Winchester Can Kill Two Stones With One Bird

I don't need to justify myself to you.

Isn't Dean Winchester awesome?

I think I almost died trying to laugh silently at that while I was in the office. I think I managed to make my boss believe that I suffer from a loud and embarrassing nasal disorder, but it was so worth it.

Dean Winchester is the only man to ever defeat a brick wall in a game of tennis.

Similar to a Russian nesting doll, if you were to break Dean Winchester open. you would find another Dean Winchester inside, only smaller and angrier.

For some, the left testicle is larger than the right one. For Dean Winchester, each testicle is larger than the other one.

Sam Winchester got a perfect score on his SAT's, simply by writing Sam Winchester for every answer.

Sam Winchester can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night.

There is no theory of evolution, just a list of animals John Winchester allows to live.

In an average living room there are 1,242 objects John Winchester could use to kill you, including the room itself.

A unicorn once kicked John Winchester. That is why they no longer exist.

I would love to copy and paste everything but I'm too lazy and that would sort of feel like plagiarism so check it here:


# 5 Temporary Trials - The Translator


Have a different picture, but too man-porn to associate with work.
Isn't he cute though?


Move aside Nicole Kidman, the Translator is here.
Finished translating Bundle from English to Malay, now typing out.
Had to bring laptop to work, so thought might as well bring broadband as well. Which would explain why I am online 9-5 this whole week.


Had painful experience yesterday. Came in from lunch late because stopped at bank. Almost completely embarrassed myself and future generations by walking into conference room while boss was with clients. Saved myself and went to eat jelly at main area. Snuck back to library while still eating jelly.
Had to pass the open conference room door on the way to library. Stopped chewing in case boss noticed. Once safely in library, boss called.
Was forced to swallow jelly whole.
Can still feel it digesting this morning.


5 boxes of law books arrived. Boss actually already has them at Miri office and can access them online. Basically he just spent rm 6000 on shelf decoration for conference room.
