Buying art always makes me want to draw.

You know, I tried to write a blog the other day, but I just haven't felt up to writing anything.

I want to start drawing again...well more than I am now. I bought some sketch cards and I'd like to work on those some.

I'd also like to start developing on my own style more. Kinda create something that I can put my name on and it be mine....ALL MINE!

Anyways, just a thought.

Also, I bought a kick ass Jamie McKelvie print today. A cell from his comic, Suburban Glamour, is at the the bottom of the page. And you can always visit his site at jamiemckelvie.com. It's packed full of wholesome awesomeness. As well as the print I bought, which is Balancing Girl. If you want one he is only doing a limited print of 75, signed and numbered. It'll set you back approx. $45 including shipping. But I believe it is well worth it. The pic included isn't the print I bought. I missed out on this one when he had it for sell back in decemeber. He only did a run of 50. The character is Astrid Johnson from his series Suburban Glamour. He also works as the artist for the musically induced series Phonogram. The last issue is debuting on Wednesday Feb 10th. Pick it up....or else.

Higlights from geekologie.

I don't know how to do my own research....but I do know how to promote my favorite websites.

I think the link says it all.....Bahahaha! The link? Get it?

I fear one thing worse than the oncoming zombie apocalypse, which i really don't fear. I'm kinda looking forward to it actually. I've been training for months. And all those skills are just going to waste right now. But anyway, that thing, yeah? It's Robots. NO ONE likes a robot. Even Wall-E has something to hide.

And besides, this robot, it's a cheetah. A CHEETAH! Really, Kelloggs? REALLY?

And to let you know where we stand on the whole Internet deal..I mean, I'm pretty sure the whole Internet craze while die out in a few years anyways....but here it is.

And one from io9. Anyone seen Book of Eli yet? Me neither. But as apocalyptic scenarios go, they say this one has a major flaw and its called ipod. Way to go Apple. Way to go on marketing a device that will outlast most of the human population. Now explain to me why my ipod freezes when it's a perfectly cherry day outsides and I just want to listen to some Backstreet Boys..er...I meant Radiohead.

A collection of shirts was my only goal.

All in All, it's been while since I did a post, but I mean, that kind of thing happens. I think they call it life.

In a random epiphany I had the other day while speaking with my aquatic roomate, Sheldon, I discovered I have an overwhelming addiction to pop culture. While I may not get every reference made, I get most of them. I mean why else would one have a blog that discusses Movies and Zombies and many other interesting articles? It's because I'm obssessed. Clearly.

My life centers around movies, books, comics, and music. The more I learn the more dangerous I become and the more my list of Random Facts grow. I'm on #3,115 or around about that. Not that I actually know that many random facts, that's just where the list is at.

But the reason I was writing this post today was this: To showcase the many shirts I have bought on shirt.woot.com and teefury.com, in the past weekish. Also to put up a website a friend sent me this morning. If I was any good at playing video games, i would have most certaintly tried out for this show. No doubt it would have been my way in. Never the less, here's the list:

No Cultural Reference here, I just really like this shirt. It mesmerizes me.

The Website only offers one shirt a day, for 24 hours only, after that it's gone foor good. I missed out on a brillant At-At shirt. So now I visit the site every day. Because I want a t-shirt collection as awesome as Sheldon Coopers. However, I will never own a green lantern shirt.By far the lamest superhero ever. His weakness is the color yellow. Who does that?

Here goes nothing. Expect more posts. I got a new job and I now sit at a computer all day long. Which makes for much stealthy internet surfing.

It's anything can happen Wednesday.

The Best Laid Plans.

I'm behind. Seriously....like waaaay behind in movies. Where as before I had no job and had plenty of time, now it's quite the opposite. So here's a run down of some recent movies I've rented. Cause I've had no time at all to actually go to a movie theater.

Let's start with the bad.
1. Paranormal Activity. I was sorely disappointed in this movie, although I'm not sure what I expected. It was exactly what everyone told me it was, except I wouldn't use the word awesome to describe any of it. It was boring. More shots of the girl brushing her teeth or telling her counterpart how she didn't want to do this or that, and that it's always been like this. The thing that makes it creepy to most people is the fact that the movie has no soundtrack. There's no warning when something is about to happen. It's just a loud crash, or a scream. It was creepy. But by no means was it something special. I'll lose no sleep tonight worrying about demons creeping into my room or ruining my photos. Cause if they touch my posters, I'll be haunting them. Also, it's unbelievable to begin with. She states that she is an English major, minoring in Spanish, yet thirty mins into the film she's trying to figure out how to properly pronounce words in order to say," I want to be a teacher"? Really Kellogg's? I think the fact that everyone had me so hyped up off this movie also lead to the fact that I didn't like it. Usually, the majority is right. This time I give the majority an epic fail. I watched it at home, alone, in the dark, and it didn't freak me out as bad as the aliens in Signs. You guys watched it in theaters and wet your pants. I'm sorry I wasted 5 dollars and my time on it. Home recording movies are only good if you've actually got a movie that people won't mind watching a shaky camera for. You don't.

2. Year One. I'm not sure how this movie ends, because I stopped watching it. I think I laughed once before I turned it off. I can't remember if I did. Which probably means if I did laugh at it, it wasn't that funny. Jack Black once was hilarious, back in his Tenacious D years. He was borderline annoying in Tropic Thunder. And Micheal Cera's becoming more and more of a whiny teenager in his roles. I liked Juno. And I'm hoping he doesn't ruin the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Year One maybe entertaining to some people, but I just got bored and stopped caring how it would turn out. I saw all the good parts in the trailer anyways. No need to watch the movie.

And the good.
1. The Proposal. It's got Ryan Reynolds. Naked. Need I say more? In case that didn't seal the deal for you, it's a total chick-flick. It's got some pretty hilarious moments, and some pretty ridiculous ones as well, but it was still pretty cute. It ends like all chick-flicks do, so no surprise on the ending, but I would see it at least once. Sandra Bullock is one of my favorite actresses and she plays this part perfectly. She's always manages to be charming and funny in almost all her movies. Plus Ryan Reynolds is naked. And if that doesn't do it for you, there's always Ramone.

2. Surrogates. Now everyone knows I'm an addicted to comics. Movie Adaptations of comics are no different. So of course I'm going to watch Surrogates. I enjoyed it. I didn't get bored with it and I felt the pace for the movie was well laid out. It dives into the question of what is living? IN Surrogates there is a world without risk, without danger, and without fear. Most people don't get out of there PJs everyday. Except for a small group of humans who refuse to take on a surrogate most the population is living life through puppets, which, demonstrated in the movie, is not really living at all. Of course, it shows the advantages as well. But as so eloquently put by one of my spades partners,"You have to risk it to get the biscuit". It also explores human nature. And the fact that most things start out as someone only wanting to do some good. And it quickly goes downhill from there. All in All, An enjoyable movie. Worth the 5 note I paid to own it.

3. American Werewolf in London. I feel about Werewolves, the same way I feel about Zombies, therefore it was surprising I'd never seen this movie before now. I loved it. It's an older film, but for it's day and age, the special effects are pretty awesome. It's got a good storyline and characters that add to the movie instead of just being there to fill up some time. Go buy it if you haven't seen it. Now.
