I'd like to tell you a little story about a writer who also happens to be my long time journal BFF. His name is [info]superhappytime and for the last several months he's been participating in [info]therealljidol writing competition.

For those of you that haven't been following it, this competition started out with well over 100 contestants (though I can't remember the exact number). Throughout the course of it, there has been some crazy twists and turns as competitors were voted off each week for the last 27 weeks. [info]superhappytime has stuck in it and now the competition is down to just seven writers. From those seven, two are being voted out this week. Three of the seven have immunity for this vote but [info]superhappytime is not one of them so he's at risk of being eliminated.

If you are a fan of good writing or even if you are just a fan of doing me a favor then please go here: http://superhappytime.livejournal.com/85003.html and here: http://superhappytime.livejournal.com/85342.html to check out [info]superhappytime's work from this week.

And then, and this is the REALLY IMPORTANT PART, hustle your e-butt over here: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/159465.html and vote for both of his submissions. The poll closes tomorrow morning so there isn't much time left!

He would never admit as much but [info]superhappytime is a very talented writer and he deserves to go all the way to the end.

Thanks guys. :)

Awesome!!

I loved this movie! I was so excited when I heard about this, and the more clips I saw; the more and more excited I got. And when I finally got to see this in the cinema, I was sooo excited I could hardly sit still!!

I was a little worried, coz I'm a big TMNT fan and I couldn't stand it if I'd been disppointed. Though my main concern was for Mikey as he's always been my favourite and I didn't want them to screw him up somehow.

To my joy: he's better than ever!!

The Turtles look great! And they move brilliantly too! And the movie itself had a great balance of darkness and lightness, and it felt comic-bookie with all the little jokey comments thrown-in at every turn! Haha!!

I loved every second of this and I really hope they go ahead and make that sequal!

The only thing they could have really done better was giving Mikey and Donnie more screen-time. I was disappointed to discover the scenes they cut-out that involved these two.

I loved the soundtrack to this movie too. Totally awesome!!

One of my favourite scenes is of Mikey skateboarding his way home. I just [i]love[/i] it!!

Awesome Turtle, awesome moves, and awesome song!!

All-in-all; I loved this film. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love this film. ^^;

I want the sequal, and I wan' it now!!

May. 17th, 2008 @ 01:18 am I made Luna's earrings :)
I made my own version of Luna's radish earrings. They were really fun to make. I decided to make them while a friend and I were chatting about what is going to be done with the Deathly Hallows and what was done with Order of the Phoenix.

Here is the finished piece:

Could someone please tell me the name of the episode from the new cartoon when the guys find a disoriented Triceraton soldier underground who mistakes them for his commander?

Alright guys, here it is.

Things have diametrically changed for me in the past week. I have come to a lot of realizations about my world and the way things operate in it and as such I have made a very conscious decision on how I plan to handle my life from here on out. All the important stuff like me making movies, writing acerbic rants and being generally awesome still stay the same, but a path that should have been really obvious has become apparent.

I am excited as fuck but I will need all of your help to make this next project happen. I cannot divulge any specifics right now but here is what I will tell you -

It will be free.
It will supply the freaky people of the world with something good that they can't get anywhere else.
It will connect people who are not connected right now.
I will need your help to make it happen.

So the next question is my friends, who is on board for making this thing happen?

Turns out, Mark Jackson wasn’t the first interviewee on Suns general manager Steve Kerr’s list. And no, it wasn’t Kurt Rambis either.

May. 16th, 2008 @ 10:56 am Hiiiii!
Current Mood: anxious
Happy Friday!

Even though it's rainy, gloomy and headachy today, I'm still happy this week is flying by. Tomorrow I have a long work day but I don't mind so much. (Today my job at work is to get little goody bags made for "Pennington Day" tomorrow....kinda like a street fair that our bank as a table at)

Tonight---PHILLY PARK!!!! I will NOT gamble much. But I have to play a little bit of roulette. ;) I'm REALLY anxious for 4pm to hurry up so I can head home and get ready. Mikey's taking me to Carrabba's for dinner--he's never been to one! And I haven't been to one since Sept. of 2002! (don't ask how I remember that! heehee)

Got my STIMULUS money this morning! FINALLY! I feel like I'm the last one to get it! Geez!! I'm VERY grateful for this extra money. ::Squeals:: I needed it SOOO badly.

I'm being GOOD and putting a chunk away for savings. =)

I want to write more...lots more...but I have to go slave and make these damn goody bags. I have no crafty skills what-so-ever.

Oh well.

Have a great Friday everyone!!

=D

May. 16th, 2008 @ 02:00 pm NO MOANING MURTLE SCENE IN HBP
Well, considering all the cuts they have made in HBP is this any real surprise ?

http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/exclusive-moaning-myrtle-not-half-blood-prince-55992/

Still, it does take away some of the emotional impact of the Septumsemptra ( ? ) scene and thus making Draco more sympathetic when it happens. Sigh.
