Top Ten Best And Worst Movies of the Year
10. Public Enemies - Johnny Depp AND Christian Bale, now THAT'S a movie.
9. Paranormal Activity - Scariest movie of the year (at least the scariest i watched)
8. District 9 - Awesome, except for the fookin' South African
7. The Informant - Weird, but in a funny way
6. Zombieland - Time to nut up or shut up
5. Inglorious Basterds - Haha Bear Jew
4. 500 Days of Summer - Best romantic comedy ever
3. Star Trek - Live long and propsper
2. Avatar - Best special effects ever
1. Up - Best Pixar movie ever. And that's saying something.
Worst Movies:
10. Terminator Salvation - Biggest disappointment ever. It had Christian Bale in a post apocalyptic world. But then it's directed by a dude who calls himself McG (Mac Jee)
9. Lesbian Vampire Killers - Just look at the name
8. Transformers 2 - Ruined the robot action with trying to make the robots funny.
7. Gamer - This was crap. Like Death Race, but without cars.
6. New Moon - It's a Twilight movie. Enough said.
5. Push - Had a good concept, but ruined it with a truly crap action
4. X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Completely ruined the Wolverine origin with too many characters and really crappy special effects
3. Hannah Montana: The Movie - It's Hannah Montana. In movie form.
2. Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li - The only reason its not No. 1 is because i couldn't watch all of it
1. Dragonball Evolution - Perfect example of how to ruin something awesome.

Office quote of the day:

AVATAR
The story is a bit simple and its really predictable, you know what's going to happen half an hour before it actually does, but that sort of works, because you want Jake to ride that huge badass dragon.
An excellent movie with excellent special effects.
Rating: 4.5/5
Sherlock Holmes
Probably the only problem with the movie is the story. I really didnt like how holmes has to deal with magic coz you immediately already know that there is a logical explanation for everything. And he only does a proper deduction twice, once somewhere in the middle and once at the end. But the end explanation is so unsatisfying it doesnt really count.
So in the end its a good movie, but not a great one.
Rating: 3/5 (note 2 of those points are for robert downey)

the most annoying places to sting you are:
your fingers
your toes
anywhere on ur feet because you cant scratch them when youve got your shoes on
the funniest places to sting you are (bear in mind that these are places where i find they are funny when they happen to someone else and not myself):
your balls, coz when ur in public, it looks like uve got an STD when ur scratching them.
Office quote of the day: I don't want people sucking up to me because they think that i will further their career. I want people sucking up to me because they genuinely love me.

Farmer Walter
Farmer Walter was not a lucky man. He was a farmer and never grew anything. In seven years of farming, all he had harvested was two carrots, a cabbage and a potato he found on the ground. In fact, if it weren't for regular donations from friends, Walter would have starved to death a long time ago.
It was a normal day for Walter. He somehow set a fire alight, putting his house in flames. Using all that was left of his water for irrigation, he put out the fire. Then it rained. None of the water fell into his catchment because he felt the need to build a shelter on it to protect it from the elements. Feeling sleepy, Walter headed for his bedroom, only to realise his house was burnt down. So he slept in his empty dam catchment, which sheltered him from all the elements.
In his dream, Walter was walking around a fancy looking office in a fancy looking suit. He looked around and saw a framed newspaper article, with a large heading reading: "Lucky farmer discovers giant oil well." He scanned down the article and took note of where the oil well was.
Walter awoke, refreshed and excited. In fact, he didn't even notice the dam shelter had collapsed and there was a nice piece of shrapnel
After several hours of digging, a black car drove up to Walter. It almost hit him, but luckily, it just ran over Walter's cat. A man walked out of the car, giving Walter a raised eyebrow as he stared at his pathetic digging.
"Are you the pathetic owner of this desolate land?" asked the man. "Because I'm willing to buy it for a small price."
Walter considered this for a while and decided to sell all of his land except the patch of land he was digging in. After doing this, he pocketed the cheque and decided to hitchhike to his friend's house to stay for the night.
The next morning, Walter awoke next to a highway. Being the lucky person he was, Walter got noone to actually take him on a ride. Walking his fat body across the roads, he reached the city in an hour, only to realise it was the wrong one, so he took a bus to his friends house.
Of course, this was when he realised he had no money. Sitting outside a television store, he looked at the televisions on display. A woman was on the screen reading a news bulletin:
"Oil has been found today on some land in a rural area."
Walter's heart lept.
"
Walter's heart sank.
"Strangely enough, it was found 2 metres away from the only piece of land that Walter had decided to keep."

I seem to find myself looking forward to next year, even though I shouldn't, what with all the crap I'm going to have to do. There's all the stress of year 11 and my AMus, which I'm going to have to practise like crazy if I want to have any chance of passing in May. But optimism is good so I'll try to stay happy about it.
In bad news today, I think I'm developing a cold.

I watched Citizen Kane a few days ago and I actually found it very entertaining. I usually find older movies hard to follow, especially when there's lots of characters involved but I liked Citizen Kane from start to end.

- People that like milk and cookies. Or strawberries and cream. It's not that nice, you just think it is because people on television do. Losers.
- 'This lame statement has been made cool by being a quote.' - Vincent Kong.
- On the same topic I hate one-liners.
- I hate it how people are so conservative with topping. When I want syrup in pancakes, I want to drown them in that shit.
- When people comment on Youtube videos saying 'This brought tears to my eyes.' DOES IT REALLY?
- WHEN THERE'S NO TOILET PAPER LEFT
- When you forget to bring your towel to the shower and gotta get some family member to grab it for you. Then ensues the awkward, half-opened door transferral of the towel.
- When a shiny new book gets bent.
That's all the shitty things I can think of.

Fritillaria cirrhosa (bulb)

Snake taipan bile 6X

I think the semen is just a bad case of Engrish but snake bile is still pretty weird. Tasted like honey but weird.
Anyway here's a pretty cool video.

You may or may not know that I am taking part in some research study, where I gotta use night contacts for one eye and day contacts in the other. In return, I save more than $1000 because I get free hard contacts. Anyway, on Thursday night I accidentally slept with my day contacts on instead of my night ones, because I got my left and right confused. As a result, I got conjunctivitis. This meant that mucus would come out of my eyes and harden, effectively sealing my eyelids shut. During the night, I had to uncake my eyes at an hourly basis. This was quite unpleasant because my eye felt quite sore.
Anyway, this strange turn of events made for an interesting start to the day and at least gave me something cool to blog about. The doctor prescribed me these eyedrops to use four times a day. I also have to wear glasses now.
I really really hope that my eye problems and my cold clear up before the cadet bivouac next weekend and Peer Support camp the day straight afterwards.
Word of the day today is abeyance, meaning suspension or temporary cessation. As in, Futurama had fallen into a five year abeyance before being picked up again in 2008.

Anyhoo what I had written about before my window rudely closed itself was mainly about comics.
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is probably my favourite comic series ever. Batman doesn't count because it's too big to call a series. Even so, the average quality of a Batman comic is much lower than the average quality of.. yada yada yada.
Calvin and Hobbes is the awesomest cartoon comic made. I haven't read much of Peanuts but this sure beats Garfield.
And my favourite comic of all time is Watchmen, which I won't put a picture of because this blog has already been made untidily longer than my usual posts.
With that thought in mind, I have nothing else to say today.
OH and there's this.

So I was doing a shit today and I thought, how good is it to be human.
I mean, we're so smart that we've figured out how to wipe our asses after we shit. How many animals can do that?

Whether or not its scientifically correct, that made me laugh.

Thanks to a lot of Vaseline and Vaporub, which I apply like crazy on my nose when I have a cold, I got through my illness with minimum discomfort.

THURSDAY
I woke up with a cold today, which ruined my morning because my blocked nose and sore throat impaired my enjoyment of breakfast. At school, my cold also impaired my enjoyment of the maths exam. It also made playing gridiron unenjoyable too because I got that terrible hot-cold feeling by sweating under my jumper while shivering from the inside.
In other news, the Word of the Day today is stentorian. As in, my cold produces stentorian sneezes. Expect more of these vivid vocables as I run out of things to say and flash games to review.

Thing Thing Arena 3:
5/5: Really cool. All you do is shoot up random people, pick up lots of guns and make a big mess.
Straw Hat Samurai:
4/5: Controls are sort of clunky and gets repetitive. However, the visuals effect of a samurai slashing is really cool.
Amorphous+:
5/5 VERY VERY VERY ADDICTIVE.
It's kind of cheap doing this instead of making an actual post but I suppose everyone's too busy to read blogs anyway.

Seeing as this was the highlight of the past few days, I shall rate every game I played.
Clockwords: Prelude
5/5: Sounded really shit at first because it's a spelling/typing game. But it's actually really fun. You shoot letters from words you type in and you can upgrade letters and stuff. I know that still sounds lame but you really have to play it to see how it's like.
Pixelvader
4/5: This is a spaceship shooter type game and you can upgrade and stuff.
Toss the Turtle
4/5: Kind of fun but really slow.
Alice is Dead ep.1
5/5: Kinda creepy but really good. Very short too. And the music is great.

I had an exceedingly good day today- I had bacon for breakfast, lunch AND dinner. Not so great today were these biscuits my grandma brought from China. They were these funny almond biscuits but when you bit them, there was meat inside. This was very screwed up. Who the hell puts pork in a biscuit?
Speaking of weird food.
You can buy this stuff from the internet from edible.com.
By the way, stop annoying me Neil and Falko.

-I hate school. It's really boring.
-I hate it when people try to save a bad joke by making a big deal of it. I do this a lot but it annoys me when other people do it.
-I hate it when stuff doesn't work. It really really really annoys me. Especially when it's beyond my control, like a laggy computer. That really pisses me off.
-I hate these phrases (in ascending order of annoyingness):
- No offence.
- What a beast.
- Sentences that use weird variations of the word hate. Like "he's a hater" or "he's hating on me"
- i was bored (A customary note tacked on to a luvo or stupid internet quiz. Extremely annoying people may attach a ^^ )
- That is so true.
- That's deep.
-I hate body maintenance. Will not elaborate.
-I hate cold.
-I hate getting out of the shower at winter. Or the bed. Or even a particularly warm chair. I just hate winter.
You know. I don't really hate a lot of things. In fact, writing this list just reminded me of all the things I like. But because this was meant to be a list of things I hate, I'm going to leave it here.
Saturday, October 17, 2009
SATURDAY
To make this easy, I'll just write about all the stuff I really like.
This is Batman, as drawn by Jim Lee in the Hush story arc. He is very cool, because he's a dealer of lawful violence which means he can kick a lot of ass without being busted by the cops. He also gets to fight all sorts of cool villains.
My favourite villain of the all would probably be Harley Quinn, who's not there. Oh yeah, and I also like all comic books in general. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is pretty cool.
Anyhoo.
I also like flash games. It's a good way to waste time when you just don't feel like doing shit. Much more effortless than reading a book or even playing some real games. I can't really decide on a flash game but Bubble Tanks 2 and UPGRADE COMPLETE! are both good examples of very good games. Especially Bubble Tanks 2 because its still kind of fun the second time.
I like routines and rituals but only if I invent them. It's nice to go through the week and look forward to things like Flash Game Friday, daily pretzels, saying hi to Louie and telling Edwin and Arthur I'm not gay.
One last thing that I also really like is really pointless information. The more ridiculous detail the better. I think the reason I like it is because I feel good about knowing something that someone else doesn't. It's even better when I can use my useless facts to prove someone wrong. I once researched and memorised the entire history and culinary definition of the sandwich to prove to Raymond that an Oreo is a sandwich. Unfortunately though, he was right.
Well that's all about what I like. Those aren't all the things I like but it's a lot of them. Stay tuned for Tuesday's post on what I hate.

Update
Like many others, I had my work experience week at Westmead Hospital. It was actually a pretty good week. The staff were all super nice people. Very helpful and so forth.
While at the hospital, I got asked a lot about what I wanted to do in the future. I just dutifully answered doctor and got a lot of info on what it takes to do medicine.
It is a pretty interesting career. The lifestyle seems great though it may just be that I haven't seen the long hours they work and the hard work that gets you there.
I guess now that people are starting to think what the hell they're gonna do with their lives, the things we think about are pretty daunting.
The doctor I followed around the hospital was really cool. Really, the doctors I met were all residents and registrars and despite what people might say, it really did look like something out of Scrubs.
Everyone seemed happy.
I want to imagine myself one day, rearranging someone's brain and saving their life.

My holidays are so much pun.
I'm in the middle of some disease where I constantly vomit bad jokes probably as a result of festering in my own company. I'm really self aware of this before my little sister has made a hobby out of pointing out every bad joke I make.
I know she's going to read this sometime so HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII :D:D:D.
In the Decembery part of the holidays, what with the Christmas and all I spent a lot of time at family friends' places. I also spent a lot of time with my obnoxiously cute cousin, who I can't call a baby anymore because he's going to kindegarten next year. The first thought on my mind as the New Years fireworks went off was to tell him to shut up with the dumb questions.
I've passed the majority of the hours at home passing the time reading and playing piano. My english tutor told me to read books by John Steinbeck and to my surprise, I've been enjoying them.
Ok seriously, I've been playing Pokemon. You can laugh but I bet you don't have a level 81 GIRATINA with like EV trained stats and stuff.
Somewhere along the lines I went to the beach. Wasn't that crowded, considering it was Manly but the seaweed was a real pain in the testicles. I tried body surfing and only managed to catch 3 or 4 waves out of at least fifty.
On the 8th I went to Cairns with family and friends. Stayed at a pretty cool 5 star apartment though we had to get an extra room because the hotel people didn't approve of our attempts to overcrowd the rooms so we could save money.
It was a pretty nice trip, despite the fact that it rained the whole time. Yeah that did lick balls but we still went on with stuff like scuba diving and snorkelling. I have a photo of me diving, it's pretty funny because the mask distorts your face so it looks like you're squinting while sucking a huge cylinder. I don't have the CD full of photos right now but I might upload later.
I guess the rain didn't make a difference once you were in the water. It woulda been nice to see the postcard perfect clear turquoise blue waters over a kaleidoscope of brilliantly coloured coral under a beautifully clear blue sky but I guess wavy dark waters under a looming grey clouds still did fine.
Scuba diving seems to be the most interesting thing I've done all holidays so I'll write more about it. It was pretty weird because I kept forgetting I to breathe because my nose was blocked by the mask and there was huge thing in my mouth. But once you get used to it it's pretty cool. The tank sorta pumps the air in your mouth so it pretty much breathes for you. The dive felt ridiculously short because it was just 20 minutes.
Oh yeah, and I got seasick for the first time. Ew.
I got back on the 12th. Nothing interesting has actually happened over the recent few days, though they will soon. My house got sold on Wednesday and I'll be moving to my new one in 6 weeks time. Yay! And I will also finally get a phone.
It's late (or extremely early) now, better go play some Pokemon and get to sleep.
