Things I Would Like To Go As For Halloween:

KAROLINA DEAN

Because it would be awesome.

ART BY ALPHONSE MUCHA

A PORCELAIN DOLL

Can you believe this doll? No, honestly. THIS is a DOLL. A doll. Looking at it makes me feel like I have been elevated to a higher level of existence, because this woman is creating human beings in porcelain that actually look like human beings. Or at least like Anne Hathaway.
Except, you know, in porcelain.
The doll has collarbones for goodness' sake.

Face/Body Dissonance

Good things come in...Goode packages

I just realised the last three movies I have watched all have starred Gerald Butler.

1) The Ugly Truth

2) Gamer

3) A Law Abiding Citizen.

I am actually not really a fan of Butler. I am a fan of prettyboys.
Butler is the opposite of prettyboy. He is what approaching a prettyboy from the opposite direction would look like.

What I mean to say is, he is not very good looking (but ,whoa, is he buff. Like, really buff. There's this scene in Citizen where he strips naked and...ANYWAYS).

And then I thought, if he isn't very good looking, why is he in movies? Why is he acting with Katherine Heigl, the guy from Dexter and Jamie Foxx? And why has he made SO MANY movies that I have watched THREE of them in TWO months? Why? I can only think of these reasons:

1) He is Scottish.

2) People are sick to death of pretty boys and want to see a normal dude/real man.

3) A "real man" with a 6 pack, pecs, arms like lamp posts and thighs like tree trunks.

4) He is buff.

5) Really buff.

So basically, he's there because he's buff and when he speaks, he sounds like he has a dorkily charming lisp because he's Scottish. The dissonance is appealing. Or something. I still don't get it...

where the hell is Hayden Christensen?


note: in the Housemate Rhyme, verse 2 is Twi'lek/Aylaa Secura from Star Wars, verse 3 is GreenSkinned Space Babe/Gaila from Star Trek, verse 4 is An Elf from Lord of the Rings, verse 5 is X-23 from X-Force OR Catwoman, as Ally pointed out, and verse 5 is Buffy the Vampire Slayer from Buffy...the Vampire Slayer.

Mysteries

Have I been searching for a strange love,
That happens in pale moonlight
And have I been searching for a real love
On the wrong side of the night?
I think I see you, but it's not you,
Just a grinning shadow or antlered wings,
Just the angels of the dark, the ghostly things

Have I been trying to divine
The nature of a monster,
Am I seeking demons I need not face,
Am I writing love songs whose words will waste
Away and I am left sobbing
By the stream of my own fears
And you are gone, a mist of ribbons
That cut through the night and disappear

I have been chasing stardust
That shone across my skin
I thought it illuminated within
But it was as empty as every light
That shines the brightest
And I give up on your hollow star
That's not where you are
That's not where you'll ever be
You do not know my name
But you have hurt me all the same.

Searching for a Housemate

I’m looking for a housemate

For the middle room upstairs

But I’ve got a few requirements

(I’m not really splitting hairs)

You should be about this height

Your skin should be quite blue

And if you were once enslaved, that’s ok

So long as you were a dancer too.

Or if you’re green, it’s not too bad

Just don’t bring back too many jerks

In fact we have a strict policy here:

No Man But Captain Kirk.

If you’re tall with pointy ears

I’m not sure what to do

Our lease expires after 2 years

You’d better think it through.

Or if you happen to have

Incredible gymnastic skill

Sheathed claws and leather pants

And a barely repressed desire to kill

(As much as I’ll love to have you

I don’t think the others will)

A girl with a stake is always welcome

I’ll understand your late hours

Vanquishing the Big Bad takes time

And various superpowers.

I hope I’m not asking too much

You have to understand

I only desire women of misrepute

To join my nerdery band.

Wink wink.

(If you can identify the movie, book, tv or comic book series my housemate might come from, please give yourself +1000 xp each. Hahaha)

Oh, It's Real Love, It's Real

Today I woke up to the sound of my alarm, which was Love Lockdown.
I then proceeded to try and reenact the Beat Freaks tutting with their arms from America's Best Dance Crew, for no apparent reason.
I then went back to sleep.

I. Need. A. Job. Or the entire season of Fringe.

I’ve been at home, with nothing much to do. So I started something that I’ve always wanted to do: make comic characters.
Yup. I mean, it’s not like I create them from scratch. What I did was adapt pre-existing characters (Marvel ones, of course), redraw them and slap on my designs and facial features. Which takes a lot more time than I thought it would.
But I did it! And since I promised Ally and Vit (or at least Ally. Here’s a surprise for you, Vit. Hahahaaaa) that I’d do it, here it is!
Please bear in mind that this is total comic book fantasy, and if I actually looked like this, I would be in the next Transformers movie instead of sitting in front of this laptop, blogging about my lack of employment.



Fable
Dear Me. I couldn’t figure out what powers to give myself, so I have four arms. Hahahaa. Kidding. I have shadow stuff, that can become things. Like my suit. And arms. And rocketlaunchers and Robert Downey, Jr.
Body by: X-23. Of course. Heheh.



Paragon
Dear Ally. I couldn’t figure out how to make you look cool while healing people, so you get to fly til I figure it out. I wanted to give you sparkly blue stuff too, but my Photoshop brushes are misbehaving. I could give you weird-coloured skin, like Elixir, just to have something visible, but that would be so cliché. Uh huh. Are you sure you don’t want to control an army of zombies?
Body by: Polaris.


Radiance
Dear Vit. Yours was the hardest to do, because I had to find a position where the hands were open, so that you could blast energy spheres.
You know, I felt so cool just writing that sentence down.
Body by: Domino.

So you guys not only got to be my audience, you also received a small education in some of the coolest characters in the Marvel Universe! i.e. Polaris, X-23 and Domino.
Extra references would be Spiral, Aurora, Jubilee and Psylocke.

You're welcome.

And yes, I am perfectly aware of how excessively nerdy this whole thing is. I think I’ll turn everyone into Jedis for my next art fest.

sometimes you gotta run before you can walk

Dalam 24 jam yang lepas, aku telah melihat filem Iron Man sebanyak 2 kali. Adakah ini bermaksud aku harus keluar dan memperolehi sesuatu hobi atau melakukan sesuatu yang membawa kebaikan kepada dunia ini?

Rasanya tak.

Iron Man merupakan filem paling hebat yang pernah dibuat selama lebih kurang sejak aku dilahirkan. Mengapa aku berkata begitu? Ada beberapa sebab:

4. Ia adalah filem buku komik. Filem buku komik selalu cool. Kadang-kadang agak bodoh, tapi masih cool, seperti X3, Punisher dan X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

3. Ia mempunyai sut besi yang mempunyai reaktor nuklear sebagai sumber kuasa yang terletak di dalam sut tersebut. Reaktor nuklear. DI DALAM SUT yang sedang dipakai oleh ORANG.

2. Watak utamanya adalah Tony Stark. Tapi saya tak peduli pasal tu. Saya sebenarnya tak kenal pun Stark sebelum ini. Yang penting tentang sebab ini adalah watak ini dimainkan oleh Robert Downey, Jr. yang merupakan lelaki paling hot. Ya. Bukan dalam dunia, bukan dalam galaksi, atau alam semesta. Lelaki Paling Hot, Noktah. (Bukan lelaki paling hensem atau comel, ok? Cuma Paling Hot).

1. TONY STARK could build one! IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

(Saje je nak tulis).

Hanya filem Deadpool boleh mengalahkan filem Iron Man. Serious.
