Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust

I have another confession to make.
I like fairies.
I begged my sister to watch the new Disney Fairy movie with me and finally watched it last night. We had to use the PlayStation because the DVD player doesn't work and it took awhile to figure out how to use the controller as a remote. 
Now, I'm not a huge fan of Tinker Bell, she's too... commercialized. I guess is the word I am looking for. But I've always had a bit of a fascination with the little pixies.  I haven't built a fairy house, or gone searching for them in fairy circles, but I do like to color them. My favorite place to get fairy pictures is at PheeMcfaddlle's website, she draws the most amazing fairies. And I have a collection of them in my room.
Hidden under my bed.

That's all.

The Man of Steel

Warning: Nerd!Alert

Holmes, my metabuddy, told me she watched the Christopher Reeves video in Driver's Ed today.  
Well, that got me thinking about Superman and those awesome movies.

I love the original supermans.

The cheesy special effects, the hair and clothes, Christopher Reeves...... it's all great. The new movie just doesn't cut it for me.

I mean, yeah, it's all great and all and it has that Corny Collins guy from Hairspray in it, but it's just not as cool.

And he's sort of a creepy Clark Kent.

But I love watching the Superman movies. I'm not sure which one is my favorite. I think it might be the third one.  Where the evil superman is drunk and looking all dingy in the bar and then goes and beats up Clark Kent at the dump.

.....I'm really not sure why I like this one.

And, despite what Holmes may say, I like Lana Lang better than Lois. (Do you like pink?)  And what about the "Love den"?  *shudder*

But anyway, this random, long post is dedicated to Reeves. The original man of steel.

Because of him, kids grew up flying around with towels pinned to their shoulders and arms outstretched.


Thanks, Reeves. We miss you.

At Insanity's Door

I just spent half an hour listening to Lyrical Latin.
My brain has been turned to mush.

Lyrical Latin is... special. Have you ever listened to those little cheesy kid songs that help you with geography or the planets? 
"North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia...."
Do you remember how cheesy they were?
With the really bizarre music and how they are trying to make it cool but only make it worse?

That's what Lyrical Latin is like.
I hope someone feels my pain.

Why I....

Should never be left alone with a computer
Have a few hours of nothing to do.
Be left alone in my head.

...I start finding strange things.

Like, did you know, in the new Sherlock Holmes movie, Holmes dresses in drag?
It just totally proves a theory a friend and I have been working on.
Victorian men and high heels.
Oh yeah.

And I'm starting to get the stir crazy writer feeling again. I have the strong urge to go buy a notebook and one of those smooth rolly pens.

And yesterday, since there was no school, I colored a picture and watched an episode from one of my Granada Sherlock Holmes DVDs.
..Yes... I like coloring.
A lot.

But the episode sort of freaked me out.  It was the Devil's Foot  and you sort of have to have read the story to understand it all. But towards the end, Holmes and Watson try this drug called the Devil's foot to prove a case and it was just wacky.
Holmes is like in this dream and he's all running through this field with all these spazzy colors which I at first found hilariously funny, but then there was this fake blood and...

I might have closed my eyes.
Just saying.

So if anyone wants to come color with me and watch scary Sherlock Holmes episodes, give me a call!
I might even share my crayons.
But that's not a promise.

Professor Layton

We all know that I am a bit of a sucker for:
The above clothing style
Professors
Doctors
Anime
And any smart guy who basically fits that category and wears Clark Kent glasses and or suspenders.

...Oh, you didn't know that?
Well then why am I telling you?  Yeesh, now I feel like a complete dork telling you about how that stuff  just about makes my stomach drop.


But guess what I found today?

This Professor Layton video game thingamjig!

It makes me very, very, happy.
Though I hate brain puzzles. Too frustrating.

BUT PROFESSOR LAYTON LOOKS SO COOL!!!
And, it's situated in London, and they have cute voices. I especially love it when Layton says, "My word."
He like breathes it out in this funny accented sigh.

And is it just me, or do you get a Sherlock Holmes vibe from the trailers?
..It's probably just me.

But anyway, here's the trailer, I laughed so hard at the end when they're running away from the ferris wheel.
You have to love animation: his hips are huge.

(Trailer)

My word.

Celebrate!

Hey, guys, sorry I've been neglecting my blog. Life and writing has been crazy.  Here's just a little drabble to start off the new year and celebrate a birthday.
