In Coffee Spoons

EPIC MICKEY MOTHERFUCKING CONFIRMED.



I have not picked up the Game informer issue highlighting it yet (going to do so tomorrow or Monday). First details @ Aussie-Nintendo reveal a great plot:

"The game explores the existence of a forgotten world, a place where lesser-known Disney characters are relegated to. A dark and depressing land filled with broken rides and set pieces, these unloved characters have become bitter and twisted. Lead by Oswald the Rabbit (Disney's first ever creation - long before Mickey Mouse), they now seek revenge for what they've become."

I love it. I mean, the entire concept of a steampunk dystopia Disney is impossible not to love. But Erin's already going over potential character appearances (The Aussie Nintendo shows a revamped Phantom Blot that gave her a Ladies' Moment) and I'm going over potential ride/attraction appearances. This is really going to be a chunk of Disney history.

It's confirmed for the Wii, and confirmed that the project is being headed by Warren Spector. I was impressed when I simply heard that Spector was going to be involved, and am double-impressed after Game Informer's video interview showcasing his insane Disney fanboyism.

For those of you who missed the leaked concept art, check it out.

Now...I just wait god only knows how long for the game to actually come out. ;_;

Have not been around due to internet kafucked. At the lab as much as possible, which will increase when fall semester begins kicking my ass in a couple of weeks.

Fall semester:

• Medical Ethics & Law
  
• Office Word Processing
  
• Medical Office Procedures
  
• Medical Records Management
  
• Medical Transcription II
  

At least all but one (Ethics & Law) is online/FLEX. I *was* looking forward to an entire semester in my pajamas, but I guess we'll see how it goes.

Enjoying limited tagging and unlimited reading on my whole entire three weeks of summer vacation. Trip to the dunes soon-ish. Mmmm sand.

Utterly unrelated:

The Rated "R" Meme
✘ comment with a character of mine. (Any game)
✘ receive three bits of trivia about their sexuality: practices, preferences, experiences, fantasies, kinks, etc.

Holly came over for a couple of days. It is really ridiculous how close we live to each other versus how often we see each other.

We drank a good amount of gin and a good amount of pomegranate vodka and did a couple cement mixers. This makes the second time I have voluntarily done a cement mixer, and I believe the third time for Holly. We are unique and stupid snowflakes.

We watched Repo! and Newsies. Holly hadn't seen Newsies before, but had the appropriate reaction: "My god, those two are totally in love with each other. How did Disney get away with this?"

Aaaand we had ourselves a little art project. We've both been mediating between friends lately, and dealing with passive-aggressive people. Thus did we hit on two important points:

1. One of the reasons we are friends is because we're both okay saying and/or hearing "You're being fucking ridiculous, and you need to cut this shit out."

2. If we ever do end up fighting, we need to be properly prepared to deal with it.

And that is how we ended up spending an afternoon making anger management sock puppets.





( crafternoon. )

And a good time was had by all. Except the puppets.

Me: Question one. The percutaneous transluminal--

Christian Bale: WALKING AROUND LIKE AH DAT DA DA DA DA

Me: Shhh, Mr. Bale, I'm taking a test. The percutaneous translu--

Christian Bale: OOOOOH GOOOOOOOD

Me: Not now, Mr. Bale! I am taking a test!

Christian Bale: DO YOU WANT ME TO GO TRASH YOUR FUCKING LIGHTS?

Me: Shut up!

Christian Bale: SHUT UP FOR A FUCKING SECOND ALREADY!

Me: CHRISTIAN BALE YOU STOP THIS RIGHT NOW I AM TAKING A FUCKING TEST.

Christian Bale: ...

Me: ...

Christian Bale: ...

Me: The percutaneous trans--

Christian Bale: SANTA FEEEEEEEEEEE

Me: *headdesk*



P.S. Passed the test.

There are a lot of people coming to Christian Bale's defense regarding his on-set rant, and I agree with them completely. There's a lot of talk regarding the pressures of acting and method acting in particular, the power of an emotional scene, the amount that he actually said versus the amount that his character said, etc. Pretty much every theatre person I've talked to has agreed that the DP was at fault.

But no one seems to be touching on the most important reason why this rant is defensible:

It was hot as all hell. Holy fuck. Hot as hell.


[01:46] Seiran79: I don't think I would mind being assaulted by Christian Bale. I mean, assuming he didn't go for my throat.
[01:47] Shinaichica: Assuming he didn't go for the throat I would imagine it would be somewhat pleasurable.
[01:48] Seiran79: It's so nice when my friends agree with me instead of suggesting I seek professional help.

January: GJ went down in dramatic flames of flaming drama.

February: Please take care to label your mp3s correctly, and double-check that you haven't mixed up any titles.

March: I'm sorry, what?

April: Check out Erin's journal first for her very, very short and very, very perfect review of the Burton adaptation.

May: This is me *finally* updating about my move more than a week after it happens, go me.

June: Lettuce, tomato,
cucumbers and celery,
carrots and your mom.

July: So the plan *was* to watch La Orfanata, then go to bed.

August: I totally could not play that game at all.

September: I'm alive.

October: I spent the last couple of weeks doing five minutes of freewrite a day, a nonstop uncensored stream of anything that my mind tossed out.

November: I was really unsure of whether he'd get Michigan, so all of my voting friends rock.

December: Oh, what would I give to be wrong about human nature.



That is a lot less coherent than this meme usually turns up for me. Awesome.

Every day I fully intend to make a good long post about how I'm actually doing, and every day I end up doing shit like this instead:



See, if I'd been updating, that image would actually make sense.

Sort of.

DISAPPROVAL. VETO. OBJECTION.

NON. NEIN. NYET.

In order to stop my eye's continous twitching, I have decided that the leaked photo is just an incredibly unlucky one, and that other photos will show a more Remy-looking Remy. This actor pic is better and gives me some hope.

Well, I wouldn't have been happy with anyone they picked, really. I mean, it's fucking Gambit.

P.S. Why is he in Origins anyway?

"Get outta here, bub, this is my backstory. It's 1908, you ain't even born yet."

"Non! Gambit already sit out three movies waitin' for cher Rogue to turn legal!"

...yeah, that makes sense.

OH MY GOD.






So...not...crying...shutup...

You know what I needed?

I just needed this.

Thank you, Annie! I'm sorry I burned a hole in your brain!

[11:10] anniewuffles: CHEESE! MARBLES! CHEESE! MARBLES! CHEESEMARBLESCHEESEMARBLES!
[11:10] anniewuffles: You did this to me.
[11:10] seiran_o19o: I'M NOT SORRY.
[11:11] seiran_o19o: Okay, I'm sorry.
[11:12] anniewuffles: I doubt your sincerity. Not that it matters. That is one doodle that can't be undid.
[11:12] anniewuffles: Marbles, cheese. Marbles, cheese.
[11:12] seiran_o19o: You should go to Alma and hit the original question-poser.
[11:12] seiran_o19o: No explanation, just walk up and smack him and walk away. That would be great.
[11:13] anniewuffles: That would be great, actually
