   Spiderman!
Well, I finally got everything cleaned up around here. Still looking for that creep who "vandalized" my web-site. WHOEVER YOU ARE, YOU ARE SO DEAD!!

On to the main event. Yesterday was the Spiderman 2 premiere, and I was in Hollywood to see it all. Plus I scored an interview with the one and only amazing Spiderman (the real Spiderman, not that poser, Toby Maguire). Here's what went down.

A: So, Spidey, I... You don’t mind if I call you “Spidey”, do you?
S: No, not at all.
A: Great! So, Spidey, what are your thoughts about Tobey Maguire?
S: The kid looks nothing like me. I don’t know what the casting directors were thinking.
A: Well, you DO wear a mask all the time. I th...wait a minute, you’re just trying to cover up your secret identity (as if it would help).
S: No, seriously, I look nothing like him!
A: (sarcastically) Right. Other than that, do you have any problems with the movie’s “accuracy”, or lack there of?
S: Not really, no. I like to keep in perspective that the movie’s more like an homage; an artistic interpretation of the director’s vision.
A: If only some fanboys shared that same perspective. So you weren’t angry that they made the web-shooters organic instead of mechanical?
S: No, I like the idea. It’s a lot more cost effective than having to buy chemicals. Plus it adds to my mythos.
A: You’ve encountered so many villains over the years, who was your greatest...er, your worst...er, you know what I mean. Who was the baddest?
S: (inhales through teeth) Hmm...tough call there. There are so many. I think my top five would be Dr. Octopus, the Lizard, the Green Goblin, Venom, and Carnage.
A: Oh yeah, the symbiots. Those guys are definitely the creepiest. How are things with you and the REAL Mary Jane Watson?
S: Terrific as ever! You know, Kirsten Dunst bears quite a resemblance.
A: Really! Speaking of resemblance, what about the guy they got to play Jameson; J.K. Simmons?
S: Yes! The look is uncanny, as well as the attitude. I don’t think they could’ve gotten anyone better.
A: One more thing before we sign off. Could I get an autograph?
S: Sure thing. (sprays suit with web)
A: Dude, not funny! This is a rental! Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get this stuf out? Cause I don’t.
S: Not hard. It comes off with soap and water.
A: Oh, thanks. Well, it’s been great talking to you, Spiderman.
S: It’s been great talking to YOU. You’re a great guy, Artukei. I’ve seen your website.
A: YOU HAVE!?!
S: Yeah, I checked it out when I heard you were going to interview me. Cool stuff. I actually have a present for you.
A: You what!?
S: I sent it in an email. You can check it out when you get home.
A: Wow, thanks, Spiderman! Wait a minute. How do I GET home!

Um...if you’re in the L.A. area and you’re reading this, could you bum me a ride back to Cleveland? I’ll pay for the gas!

   WHAT THE HEIPHON!?! Who's been messing with my site!? And my profile, too?......I DO NOT WEAR GIRL'S UNDERWARE! Um, if you're checking out my site for the first time, it's not usually like this. (Man, I do not need this right now. I'm stressed enough as it is, what with my interview with Spiderman coming up.) I should have everything straightened out by then. I'm gonna find out who did this! When I do, I am gonna make so sure that Adam bans them from the site!

Hero
Well it’s been a few days since Samus dropped me off in L.A. This is what I have to report thus far. Traffic stinks, I’m sweating like a pig, and the broadband fee at my hotel is ridiculous. On the plus side, I learned how to make 24 new egg dishes and I found out that my hands are the same size as John Wayne’s. Pretty cool, huh? Only a couple days left till the Spiderman 2 premier. Here’s this week’s song to keep you tied over. As for me, I gotta go shopping for a suit. L8R!


I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Oh, but heaven, no heaven, don't hear me

CHORUS:
And they say that a hero can save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away

Someone told me, love will not save us
But how can that be?
Look what love gave us
A world full of killing
And blood spilling
That world never came

(CHORUS)

Now that the world isn't ending
It's love that I'm sending to you
It isn't the love of a hero
And that's why I fear it won't do

And they say that a hero can save us
I'm not gonna stand here and wait
I hold onto the wings of the eagles
Watch as we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away
And they're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away
They're watching us
They're watching us
As we all fly away

   Artukei: Your Connection to the Stars
Ai-aighty! Inspired by my good friend, cutetanuki, I am going to be introducing a new feature to the site. Every now and then, Artukei: Fellow Actor and Friend to the Stars, is going to be posting some interviews with some of your favorite fictional characters. I'm doing this solely in the hopes that I can finally live my dream, MEETING AISHA CLAN-CLAN!

In keeping with the current theme, our first guest has been seen in 8 different video games. Her latest being Metroid: Zero Mission for the GBA. She is looked upon as a Nintendo legend and is revered as one of the greatest heroines in video game history. Please make welcome, my first guest, Miss Samus Aran!

SA: mffl mff mmmffflllm
A: Um, Samus? You might want to take off the helmet.
SA: Oh, sorry. I was just saying how great it is to be here.
A: ..............
SA: What?
A: You’re a blonde.
SA: Yeah?
A: I always thought you were a red-head.
SA: You’d be surprised how many times I get that.
A: Right, moving on. So, Samus, bounty hunting: what’s it like?
SA: It’s not the most glamorous job in the universe, I’ll tell you that.
A: Yeah, I think some of our Cowboy Bebop fans already know that.
SA: Just drifting around in the solitude of space can get very lonely.
A: Really? (leaning forward)
SA: Yeah, but I’ve gotten used to now.
A: Oh. (leans back)
SA: Taking care of hostile aliens is hard work but fun.
A: I know what you mean. That Ridley is one ugly mother! Not as ugly as Mother Brain, though.
SA: Yeah, I’ve made some pretty bitter enemies.
A: But you’ve also made some great friends too, isn’t that right?
SA: Yes, that’s right. Mario, Kirby, Link, he’s a real cutie.
A: Please Samus, there may be jealous fanboys hosting this show. You all met in Super Smash Bros.
SA: Yes, that was one of the major turning points in my life. Not only did I make some life-long friends, but I made the transition to 64-bits. And we all had so much fun making it, we all agreed to come back in 2000 with Super Smash Bros. Melee.
A: Which we all know was a huge success. But you’re fans must have wet their pants when Metroid Prime came out. One of your best games to date.
SA: Yes, after SSBM is was nice to get back in the saddle and start pounding the crap out of Ridley.
A: And we all know how much fun that can be. Now, Samus, their’s one question I’ve always wanted to ask you. What’s it feel like to go into morph-ball mode?
SA: Very weird. The first time I did it I had to throw up afterwards.
A: Ooh. OK, Samus, here’s my final question before we sign off. Can I wear the Varia Suit?
SA: No.
A: Oh. Well...then...can I have a ride?
SA: Where?
A: To Hollywood. I’m supposed to be there for the Spiderman 2 premier.
SA: Sure, no problem. I just have to make a quick stop on Talon 4 before we get there.
A: Cool! Can I help?
SA: Absolutely!
A: (Yes!)
SA: How are you at cooking eggs?
A: (Doh!)

Well, that’s it for this week. Next week I’ll be interviewing (get this) the one, the only, the Amazing Spiderman! No joke! If you have any questions that you’d like to ask Spidey, please write them in the comment box. Till next time, remember, never operate a Varia Suit without proper training.

   Spiderman: Recap
I cannot wait for Spiderman 2! For those of you who want a little recap of the first flick, here's this week's song.

Poor Peter Parker was pitiful
Couldn't have been any shyer
Mary Jane still wouldn't notice him
Even if his hair was on fire
But then one day he went to that science lab
That mutated spider came down
Oh, and now Peter crawls over everyone's walls
And he's swinging all over town

Sling us a web, you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
Cause we're all in the mood for a hero now
And there's evil-doers to fight

Now Harry the rich kid's a friend of his
Who horns in on Mary Jane
But to his great surprise, it seems she prefers guys
Who can kiss upside-down in the rain
"With great power comes great resposibility"
That's the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben
If you missed it, don't worry, they'll say the line
Again and again and again

Now Norman's a billionaire scientist
Who never had time for his son
But then something went screwy, and before you knew it
He was trying to kill everyone
And he's ridin' around on that glider-thing
And he's throwing that weird pumpkin bomb
And he's wearing that dumb Power Rangers mask
But he's scarier without it on (favorite line)

Sling us a web, you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
Cause you brave and you're strong and so limber now
But where'd you come up with those tights?

It's a pretty sad day at the funeral
Norman Osborne has bitten the dust
And I hear Harry said he want's Spiderman dead
Aw, but his buddy Pete he can trust
Oh, and MJ is all hot for Peter now
Aw, but Peter he just shuts her down
Mary Jane, don't you cry, you can give it a try
Again when the sequel comes 'round

Sling us a web, you're the Spiderman
Sling us a web tonight
Cause we all sure could use us a hero now
We think that you'll do alright

Bad news and good news.
I realize it's been more than a week since I left that post about a new WLPR. Sorry to those of you that have been waiting for it, but I think I'm having some submission problems. Either that or the admins won't put it up (holds up middle finger). I've submitted it three times and it still isn't up. WHAT THE HEIPHONG!?!

I did say that this WLPR held the answer to the song contest. Well, it looks like I won't be able to share my art with you this time, so I'll just tell you.

AISHA

Yes, Aisha Clan-clan has a song. Something that only Outlaw Star Die-hards, like myself, know. It's not in the show. It can only be found on Vol.1 of the Outlaw Star soundtrack. For those of you who've always wondered, yeah, she's got a good set of pipes (not great, but good). I have yet to find a translation for it. But I don't care, I like romaji. Well, till next time, GOD BLESS JAPAN! L8R!

P.S.: If any of you would like to see the WLPR, I could e-mail it to you in an attachment. I SWEAR, I GIVE YOU MY WORD AS A KNIGHT AND AS A CHRISTIAN, I WON'T SPAM YOU.
