Well, I'm back from vacation! ^_^ It's been snowing, so Dad got to stay home from work Monday and Tuesday, so that's why I haven't been around.
Things have been pretty good around here. ^_^
Saw Narnia, it was pretty good. ^_^
Vacation was pretty great, we had a relaxed time and slept in a lot. :D Toontown is going to be closing in the Magic Kingdom soon, so me and my Sister wandered around one last time to look at everything. They're getting rid of it for a new massive expansion of Fantasyland with some kind of forest or something. It should be really neat, but I'm getting some Roger Rabbit vibes with the whole destruction of Toontown deal. Though, in the movie it was going to be for a freeway, not a forest. And toons are present in Fantasyland and the basis of what's in the forest, so I'm not sure how that all counts. XD
We stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge in the Vacation Club area, and our room wasn't a savanna view, buuutttt, it was just across the road-ish, so we could see a few animals if we went to the end of our balcony. :D
Hmmm...what else... Oh! I got the HUGE book of the entire comic series Bone and read it on the way down to Florida. I think it's the biggest book I own. XD I really enjoyed the series, it was neat. I know they're the bad guys, but King Dok and the Rat Creatures (especially the two "Stupid Stupid" ones XD) captured my heart, they're adorable and fluffy and have bright eyes and big teeth and King Dok looks like a fuzzy T-Rex and it is wonderful. :D Also, BARTLEBY. I want to adopt him and cuddle him FOREVER. <3 <3 <3 Thorn kind of looks like a teenage!human!Nel. XD There was also a one-time girl that showed up that looked like Jasmine from Aladdin AND HER NAME WAS JASMINE. XD And one of the dragons kinda looked like Elliot from Pete's Dragon. ^_^ The art is wonderful and is a neat mix of styles. It is super great and I'll be rereading it again. ^_^
Also found our Death Note Los Angeles book and read it on the way back. IT IS SO GOOD AND SUPER AWESOME. It has also rekindled my interest in Death Note, but mostly L. I want to read/re-watch/watch the manga/anime/movies, but I'm really only interested in L's adventures at this moment. I kinda forgot anybody else was in it, and then remembered and was like, "Oh, blah, Light." XD *derpdaderp*
Watched some good stuff and not so good stuff.
Not so good:
Dragon Fighter - *snerk* Almost hilariously terrible, the CGI is bad, the acting is eh, it tries to be Alien and fails, and is ultimately boring. There's one good funny scene, but it's sort of a surprise thing, so I'm not going to spoil it. XD
Knowing - Even though it has a sort of feel-good Christian theme kinda almost sort of not exactly (it's confusing), it was just depressing. There's several scenes of people and animals burning alive and that was unpleasant to watch. Another thing that sort of freaked me out was someone had gone crazy and had scratched the same words over and over again, and that reminded me a biiit too much of the crazy scrawlings in Portal ("the cake is a lie" and such). Also, the end is depressing, even though there's a bit afterwards that's supposed to be all hopeful, you can't be helped to be full of angst. My favorite bit was early on when Nicolas Cage says in this funny deepy voice, "I'm the sone of a preacher." The way he says it is GREAT, and we had to rewind and hear it again, then later show my Sister. XD
How I Met Your Mother - Ah, usually the show is pretty funny, but the most recent episode ended with SURPRISE ANGST and made me sad, so it gets a spot here. :|
Good:
Forbidden Planet - It was neat and very loosely based off of "The Tempest" (which was cool, I don't remember much, but I remember liking it) and Robbie the Robot is awesome. :D
The Cape - Pretty cool and sort of classic superhero-y, only 2 episodes so far, so have to see if it continues being neat.
Voyage of the Dawn Treader - Mentioned above, it was pretty cool. :D
Also~ I don't have many thin long-sleeved shirts and I found a GLOW IN THE DARK TRON ONE YAY and I hope we go see Tron soon so I can wear it in the theater and GLOW IN THE DARK. :D
I also tried on what we uh...THINK... is a Tron dress and that was kind of fail but kind of funny and I wish we had gotten a picture. XD
Been having some weird dreams again. XD Haven't been sleeping well, so maybe that's been causing it.
-I dreamed I worked for Tony Stark. We were talking business or something and then I woke up. :| Can I count that on my resume? XD
-Tron something or the other real-world dealio. Can't remember much, except maybe I was going to replace the dude and make awesome video games?
-Had a dream within a dream last night. That was new to me. XD Getting Inception vibes. XD
Speaking of Iron Man and Tron, I keep forgetting to mention this! In the new Avengers cartoon on Disney XD, Tony Stark wears a Tron-like outfit that has blue lines and stuff. I call him Tron Man or, less often, Trony Stark. XD *snerk*
It's been cold, so I've been wearing my Transformers pajama pants. :D Ever since I got those Ravage toys at Wal-Mart, I've been on a Transformers kick, but I can't do much about it, so I wear my jammy pants proudly. :D I wanna watch the first live action movie, but we haven't had a chance to do so. I found some crazy cartoon series that was never released in English except for subtitles online, so I might watch it some time, but my list of things I want to watch is sooo long. XD Might get a small Optimus Prime toy if I can find one cheap. *derp*
Oh yes! I saw a Tron-based RP that had people playing programs like Norton Antivirus and stuff. Captain Eo's outfit is Tron-ish, maybe he could be like Windows Media Player or iTunes or something. XD *hee*
Me and Dad have been playing Kirby's Epic Yarn. It's a lot of fun! :D But it goes by so quickly. :< But there's lots of stuff to collect! :D And there is a candy level with sections I have dubbed "Flan Adventure" and "Donut Adventure". :D
It's been snowing a lot, so that's been really neat. It's been so pretty! :D And it's fun to see squirrels and birds in the snow. <3
Oh! We had a hawk earlier! There were a bunch of birds on the picnic table and all of a sudden HERE COMES A HAWK FLYING TOWARDS THE HOUSE WE CAN SEE HIS FEET DID YOU SEE THAT SO AWESOME and then he landed in the neighbor's tree and hunkered down and looked like he was sulking because he didn't get a snack. XD He flew off towards the back and we didn't see him again.
Also! Cartoon Network's timing is bad again. On Christmas they showed a random angsty filler episode about Ichigo and his mom. :|
Oh! And on Bleach 186, there was a girl who looked like Akane that ran in for action and was working with Ukitake, Shunsui, and a bunch of other Shinigami. I'm gonna get screenshots and make icons in a bit. :D
*flails* Sorry for rambling, guess I'm making up for being gone so long! XD Almost done. <3
I kind of want to RP L, give him an Abra, then he'd be all happy when it evolved because IT WOULD HAVE A SPOON FOR EATING DESSERTS. :D
Also, Portal 2's release date has changed, and it's no longer coming out on my birthday. *sulks*
Mmmm, I've had an idea I've been tossing around and I started playing with it when I couldn't sleep last night. XD I think it was originally inspired by discussions I've seen about RPing different styles of characters, like live action and animated together. Anyways, the basic thing is anime characters in the Toontown from Roger Rabbit. As I've messed with the idea, it might involve also throwing in CGI characters in as well, since that's the new animation thing. Maybe there's a rivalry or something.
Right now, my plans for this mess pretty much solely insist on a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE SELF-INSERTY fanfic. XD In my brain it sounds neat, but when I think about typing it it sounds HORRIBLE AND STUPID WHY DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS? XD So I will refrain from talking too much about it for now until I sort things out and REMOVE MYSELF AS A SORT OF MAIN CHARACTER.
I'm looking up what I can find about the Toontown from Roger Rabbit, and there's not a lot of info, and what I remember from the movie didn't tell a lot either, so I'll have a bit of wiggle room to do what I like. :D I'm liking the idea of toons as actors that don't always fit with the roles they were cast in. Right now, I'm thinking Aizen is a good dude and Light is an okay normal dude and for some reason I'm always picturing him with like two girls always around him which is kind of hilarious.
Also, Ash from Pokemon is not as twerpy as the show makes him seem, but it is a paycheck and he'll put up with it. XD He also owns all of his Pokemon and still has the ones that in the show he got rid of. Everybody on the Pokemon show is a Pokemon trainer like an animal trainer for movies would be. The Toontown Woods outside the town has Pokemon (and maybe other creatures/monsters) and anybody can be a Pokemon Trainer if they pass the test and get a license and register every Pokemon they obtain.
One thing I'm stuck on right now is the extent of character powers. In Roger Rabbit, they stuck with older style of characters, from animated shorts, that just had shenanigans. Anime and more current other animated shows have more powers and stuff. Are they special effects? Are all characters normal Toons with only the standard powers? Or do they actually have the real powers shown in the shows? Or maybe only some of the powers/abilities? Gotta think this out.
