   Ahh...
Finally we get to sleep in tomorrow. It's a 3 hour delay for conferences, thank goodness. I might just go hang with a friend at Starbucks.

Well, at the library in my school I got their last copy of Ultiamte Spiderman. Number 3. It's the one with Doc Oc and Kraven the Hunter. Kraven looks a bit less stupid than in the regular comic(I know they're featuring Kraven the Hunter in the Spidey comic in the Washington Post right now) but the stuff was just funny. Like when Spidey's fighting Doc Oc and Doc Oc's like "Who are you? S.H.E.I.L.D?" and Spidey, lying bleeding on the ground goes "No...I'm...the haircut police...there's a $50 fine for bowlcuts in this city..." Wow, I was cracking up and everyone in my band class was looking at me strangely. Now if only Ultimate X-Men were this funny, I might get a jump on buying them faster. I mean, Wolvie and Iceman are pretty funny, but when it comes to whimsical heroes, Spidey takes the cake. Always has. Even in the original comics.

Meh, my Double Double Toil and Trouble didn't turn out so well. I think i memorized the wrong part, and still didn't get all of it.

Plus I think a crap shooted a precal test.

And all this weekend I have to work on college essays.

My life's totally shooting downhill.

UNDERCLASSMEN! DON'T BELEIVE WHAT THEY TELL YOU ABOUT SENIOR YEAR BEING EASY! IT'S TOTAL BULLCRAP!

I think I need to look at more hotties. If you have a long haired hottie you'd like to see in my new segment, let me know, with a reason why you like him, and instead of doing the movie quote, I'll do some Long Haired Hottie action.

RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
Yay, Shrek!


"A writer? What do you have to write about? You're not oppressed. You're not gay."

Oh and if you haven't seen this yet(I don't think most people have) check out the Elektra trailor!

http://movies.yahoo.com/movies/feature/elektra.html

Yes, Jennifer Garner's in it(love her) and this guy whith all these animal tatooes that pop right out of his flesh! It's the coolest looking thing in the world! Just humor me and watch it.

And now everytime I'm a rude driver, I think of Rustym's damn Monkeysphere thing. Thanks, Rustym, that provided me justification to be an a-hole! Well, not really, but I still think about the Monkeysphere alot.

EDIT:Oh, I forgot to add, I got my first 18th b-day present today. It was a Mach 3 Turbo razor from Gillette. I don't know how they got my name, address, and birthdate, but I gave it to my brother. I guess since they thought my name was Alex I was a man. Sexist bastards.

EDITEDIT: WOAH, JUST FOUND THE NEW BATMAN BEYOND TEASER TRAILOR!

http://batmanbegins.warnerbros.com/

It's a bit dissapointing, but I'm sure once the main trailor comes out, it'll rock.

EDITEDITEDIT: wOOt, just installed Chapter 3 of Ring Wars- Attack of the Fan Drones! Mireiyu, I put in Smeagol doing lots of stupid stuff for you!

Ok everyone, ciao for now. (wOOt, I'm still number 3! It wasn't a dream!)

   Hi everyone!
First and foremost, thanks for moving me to spot number...

THREE! *yeah, baby, yeah baby!*

Anywho, that's what really made my day. I have so much work to do tonight, including memorizing "Double double toil and trouble, yadda yadda yadda." Don't worry, it's nobody's fault. So to cheer me up (and any other ladies who might me having a bad day), I've decided to install a new segment on my blog. It's called:

RED FLIPS FOR HOTTIES WITH LONG HAIR!!!
Yes, I shall now post a picture of my favorite hotties with long locks!
Oh ho ho, you knew it was comin.
A bit dirtier, but still up there.
Gotta love him.
Everyone's fav red head.
Blondes do have more fun.
For all my PMK homies.

That's it for now. No quote cause believe it or not, that took a really long time. Later, peeps.

   Mmm mmm mmm.
Well, it's 11:00 in the AM here in North VA. "Red, why are you not at schoo?" you ask? Two reasons. One, I feel like crap. I think I ate too much chocolate yesterday. But that's what half a bag of Hershey's Mint Kisses'll do to ya. Reason numero dos. Shakespere. There was no possible friggin way I was going to write summaries for every single act in Macbeth plus some other odds and ends by the time I was too tired to function. So I'll do that today. No friggin' way. Macbeth's not a bad play, just all the stuff you have to do for it for AP Journalism doth sucketh. And in the true spirit of Monday here, everyone's been writing angsty stuff, like two of my favorite men here at the mO, Some Guy and Enin/Nine(I think it's Nine, today). So, I shall write something too, yay! But in the spirit of Shakespere which I am loathing now so much.

Double double, toil and trouble
Praise Cliff Notes among the rubble
My brain's exploding like an egg
Stuffed inside a big powder keg.
I don't eat newts, I don't eat frogs
And yet here they are on my blog.
Macbeth doth have me in a bind
Prisoner inside my own mind.
What I'd give to be free of it
And write something else as see fit.

That's it for now, cause my brain is scrambled.

RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
Yay, Van Helsing! OMG, he's so hot. Was Wolverine this hot? Oh wait, he was!


"Thank you, gentlemen. Someday I will repay you, unless of course I can't find you, or if I forget."

Well anyways, what I was going to say before was that Wolverine was possibly the hottest Canadian I've ever seen. Except maybe SG, haha!

Ok, I hope my Naruto cd comes today. Ciao, lads and ladies!

EDIT: wOOt, I got my Naruto cd! It's better than the 2nd one, tee hee! Well, except one song that sounds like grocery store music. BUT WHO CARES? 'Tis great!

   WOW!
THANKS FOR 9000 HITS EVERYONE! YOU GUYS ROCK!

Hmm, now on to buisness. FMA last night...they definently cut some parts out, which didn't make me happy. But at least they didn't F up the beggining. Even though it was the wrong song, at least they played the whole thing. Couldn't say the same about the end, though. I love that ending song, unless you only play about 10 seconds of it. Then it kind of sucks. But anywho. This is the first anime that I've seen first in Japanese and then in English. So now I finally know how all those people feel who are so anal about watching subbing over dubbing. Well, I wouldn't describe myself as anal, but I know some people who just want to puke at the notion at watching the Cowboy Bebop movie in English. Oh, the horror.

I also watched Ghost in the Shell. But while I was talking to people, so I wasn't paying that much attention. But still it seemed ok. Showed lots of boo-tae on that chick. And the mecha was cool. Usually I'm not so in to mecha stuff. But yeah, some good animation on that sucker. Oh, and the music was by Yoko Kanno! I love her.

My last order of buisness for this lover-ly Sunday morning, is that Ring Wars is back in buisness. I forgot when I wrote the first one(and never finished it, heh heh, whoops). This one is Ring Wars Episode II-Attack of the Fan Drones. Basically, some people (heh heh, me and Nightbeck, maybe Shanny later on) have to save the Jedi Legolas and Aragorn from the "Anime Fan Drones that don't know how to write fanfiction". OK! I realize, some of you/us can write well, but hey, I'm trying to make this interesting here, ok? Anyways, we're employing the help of Smeagol Binks and Gandalf the Green, just to name a few. Here is the link:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2133879/1/

If you're a member of ff.net, please feel to review, and if not, you can still review anyway. And I'd reccoment reading the prequel before the sequel if you so see fit, and you can find a link to that on my ff.net bio.

RED'S MAGINIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
Oh, Mission Impossible 2, slam! And you peole thought I only watched superhero movies.


"Your blood shall make me even more beautiful. What do you think of that?"
"I think if you're going to kill somebody, kill them, don't stand around talking about it."

I'm sorry, but that quote just cracked me up. I know probably at least half of you will getting considering the topic of my last post, but it was just too funny not to.

Ok, have a good last day of the weekend.

   wOOt, it's Saturday!
That means [Adult Swim]! And since I have no soccer games, it also means it's time to start on my college apps. *sigh* Last night I rented Van Helsing and (much to Some Guy's surprirse because he's been bugging me for over a year to see it) Shaolin Soccer. Van Helsing was pretty much what I expected, a bit lame, some cheezy graphics, but with a hot actor. But MAN, what a BLOOPER real they have on that thing! It's like, 5 minutes long! Definently one of the best blooper reels I've seen. Hmmm, maybe I should make a list of the best blooper reels I've seen. Ok, here goes: RED'S FAV BLOOPER REELS 1. Star Wars (Original Trilogy)-Nothign beats model AT-AT's on fire or the repeated throwing of funs at Darth Vader. Or even Luke Skywalker cracking up as he tries to talk to Vader. 2. Van Helsing- Probably the longest blooper reel I've ever seen. Hugh Jackman and the Frankenstein definently make it worthwhile, like when Hugh Jackman is shown repeatedly tripping and falling on his face in multiple scenes. 3. Pirates of the Carribean- Capt. Jack Sparrow does mess up a line from time to time, and it's a bit comforting to know not even Legolas can catch a sword the first try. 4. Daredevil-Even though the movie wasn't that hot, the bloopers totally make up for it. Ben Afleck falling on his face onto a pool table then rolling off of it, or getting attacked by pidgeons was totally worth sitting through the movie. 5. A Bugs Life-haha, more animation that was actually MADE for them to mess up. Perfect. Note: The Daredevil and the Star Wars blooper reels are hidden, for what conceviable reason I do not know, other than those crazy people at Lucas Arts always like to hide secret stuff. *Thinks of Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2 and how to get the '69 Buick with the booblehead monkey* If you have favorite blooper reels I've forgotten to mention, please feel free to comment. Shaolin Soccer had a blooper reel too, course, I coudn't understand any of it cause they took off the subtitles by that point(the lazy asses) and everything else was in Mandarin. But yeah, that was definently a good movie. Really funny too. Since I've now seen it, that means people in the States can rent it at your local Blockbuster. And watch it in Chinese, cause if you don't, I'm guessing it's kinda lame. RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE I can BELIEVE most of you didn't get this. Uh, Spiderman, duh! "Every search for a hero must begin with something which every hero requires, a villain." *Points to quote.* That's only true if there are phycopaths that WANT to be villians. Like The Monarch on Venture Brothers! Am I still the only one on this site watching that show? Ok, whatever. Peace and Villian Grease!

   Yay, it's almost Friday!
Oh, Happy Veterans' (and Remembrance) Day. Yes, I heard it was politically correct to say 'happy'. But anyways, our school's so lame. The only thing mentioned about was in my AP Journalism class, and our teacher brought us what looked like old leftover Halloween cupcakes, but whatever. We ate them anyway and then watched Macbeth die. Um, never mind.

A funny thing happened last night/today. I was up last night reading some chick's fanfiction who writes for the Justice League(haven't been in that section of ff.net for like a year) and I reviewed one of her pieces, and she e-mailed me back saying that one of my stories (a really crappy angsty one which I thought everyone hated, including myself) was actually what got her writing fanfics in the first place. She said we needed more angsty stuff (featuring the Flash, no less, heh heh) around, so now she has like 10 stories all majorly reviewd (for that section of ff.net anyways) that are hits. ALL BECAUSE OF ME! Hehe, I've inspired someone. Now I can sit back in my chair and relax, and not have to do anything for the rest of life.

....well, no, not really.


But funny how that stuff works out, eh? Oh, one thing I have to do is give you studs and studdesses(what?) out there a new quote!

TIGRESS' MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
*sigh* remember back when teenage movies were actually good?


"You don't trust anyone, that's your problem."
"I trust my barber."

Ok, I gotta jet. Won't be around much tonight, cause I got a big paper to write on a video we saw in Geosystems about how we didn't really land on the moon. Kinda scary in a weird way.

Ok, peace and moon grease!

p.s. thanks for bringing me back up to spot number 4! *dances*

   Wednesdays are calm. I like them.
This is like the first Wednesday in half a year where it hasn't rained. I know cause I always have clarinet lessons on Wdnesdays, and I always notice it raining. Ok, it's rained less than that, but in this area it seems like it do be rainin' lots on dee Wednesday.

I've also been trying like crazy to win some damn concert tickets. For those of you who don't live in the DC/Metropolitan area, one of the rock stations has a huge concert for X-Mas. It's called HFSmas Nutcracker. Originally, I was planning to make it my first concert ever. But then I found out the tickets were 68 bucks a piece. So, for the next month, I'll be trying to win them. Cause they have some great bands like Velvet Revolver, My Chemical Romance, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Jimmy Eat World, and that band that sings "Somewhere Only We Know". I mean, this thing's going to to totally kick ass. Provided I can go.

(Franz Ferdinand, right there. Please let me win tickets and TAKE ME OUT!!!)

Listening to the newest U2 song on the radio. No, NOT Vertigo, it's called "Original of the Species".off the new album. It's good stuff, as always. Oh my, the DJ just played ANOTHER new song by them! "Miracle Drug". Good stuff!

TIGRESS' MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTES
Yay, Hot Shots! Sorry, no pic, I could only find pics of Hot Shots: Part Deux.

"Until mankind is peaceful enough not to have violence on the news, there's no point in taking it out of shows that need it for entertainment value."

I agree with that.

Wow, it's sorta late. I'm thirsty. Bye bye!

   What a long day...
Yeah, school was boring and long.

Band was even longer. Plus it was FREEZING. I couldn't move my fingers enough to play well, cause our band director doesn't let us wear gloves. But we had a good long hour and a half interval between marching band pratice and band sectionals. Some kid between the end of school and marching band had gone out and bought an X-Box, a sp[are controller, and Halo 2. So of course, we hooked that up to the tv in the band room, and watched the guys who actually knew how to play Halo play. It was pretty cool. Normally I'm not in to first person shooters, but it reminded me a bit of Metroid Prime (ooh, the 2nd one's coming out soon) and over all, there were some really nice graphics. I still think if I had an X-Box I would pick Star Wars Battlefront over it, though.

Speaking of Star Wars, today in the sectional, our teacher was like "Ok, let's start at L," and another kid said "Start at where?" and completely randomly, I said "L, as in 'Laugh it up, fuzzball!'". Total geek moment right there.

I also ordered the Naruto vol.1 OST last night online, yay! For only 17 bucks, too, as opposed to the 51 buck import. Hehe, I love Amazon. Oh, and yes, I know I can download it, but when my computer crashes on a regular basis, I don't think so. Besides, I really want "Wind" on some kind of palpable form besides me playing it on my clarinet.

RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE
Sadly, Fantasy Week has come to an end. I think this'll be the end of themed weeks for a little while, until X-Mas comes around, at least.


"I've fallen for you like a blind roofer. "
"I'm sorry?"
"My heart is falling down around my ankles like a wet pair of pants. My whole life, all I've wanted to do is fly. Bomb stuff. Shoot people down."

Ok, have a good night, everybody.

   meh...
I have a busy night ahead of me, so I have to make it quick with no movie quote, sorry.

News: Some Starbucks have Gingerbread lattes and pepperming mochas in stock. Just ask for them.

If you haven't seen the kick-ass-looks-much-better-than-the-first-two Star Wars III trailer, you can see it here, provided you have Quicktime. If you don't, it takes like, 5 minutes to download and it's worth it. Especially to see all the wookies!!!

http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/release/trailer/teaser.html

I'm donating blood again on Friday. I don't know if many of you remember when I did it last year, but I compared it to knowing what Aragorn and Legolas felt like in those angst fan fics after loosing alot of blood or being wounded. Whoop-de-doo.

I got the 2nd volume of Spidey Unlimited 2 from my library today, and it kicked ass. Apidey confronts the Kingpin and says he has a list of things to say to him, and you assume it's going to be about how eveil he is, and how is role in organized crime led to his Uncle's death, but it's a list of FAT JOKES! Quite possibly the most hilarious comic I've ever read, I highly reccomend it.

Now I have to stick on an icy hot patch, go grab some chai, finish my laundry and stay up all night doing math. Oh joy. Sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to make it to sites today.

I also will be at band until 8:30 tomorrow night, so I probably won't be around much then, either.

Hope everyon'e monday is going resonably well. Toodles!

   Yay, yay, FMA!
Ok, so the dubs were not the best (my awards for best dubs go to CB and WR). Ed's was kinda angry, and Al's was really hard to hear. I also missed the classic "Strik-gu!". Lust's was good. But don't forget, we still have Winry's, Roy's, Maes', Armstrong's, and Scar's voices to hear. And I'm glad they didn't take out the cusswords, it makes it better. But I hate how they fucked with the ending. I hope they put on the first ending song(my fav) next week, we'll see, But I mean, it's only the first show, like Shanny said maybe the dubs will grow on us. I think what should REALLY be recognized here is the FABULOUS anime and effects we can now watch on a full scale television, instead of crappy laptops *grumble*. Oh, and now since it's in main stream, Suncoast and places like that are going to have TONS of merchandise, I can already tell.



I also watched two hours of LOST last night. Man, what a show that was! And Dominic Monahan (Merry) is great as a rock-and-roll drug addict with a beard! He was so cool in the episode last night! Plus there's also like 40 characters to pick from to like and hate. Does anybody else who's seen this know the fat guy? I think he was Buckman in Down Perisocope. Damn, I love that movie.

RED'S MAGNIFICENT MOVIE QUOTE-FANTASY WEEK
Yippee, Shrek! I'm makin waffles!


"What are you doing now?"
"Averting our eye, oh Lord."
"Well, don't. It's just like those miserable psalms, always so depressing."

Hehe. I need to get this on DVD.

Have a great Sunday everyone, and if you're looking to fill out my stupid survey thing, it's down below!

EDIT: I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK! But now I have to re-download everything...
