So, uh. Dom Monaghan and Megan Fox beating each other up and making out in an Eminem music video. This is just kind of amazing to me. Song also contains the excellent line "Now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pane." Mr. Mathers how did I even survive the past few years without your music.
yes I like Eminem shut up

Also it seems like these Hunger Games books everyone's talking about are written by the lady who did the Underland Chronicles, whose name I'd shamefully forgotten. (Suzanne Collins.) Those books were super cool and underappreciated. I may have to read her new thing now.

Umm. I finally drew that genderswap. It was bad. Not much else to talk about. Maybe I do need to start up another 30 day meme. OTL

EDIT: Oh wait, Pokémon update. Got to Indigo Plateau, benched my Jynx, caught a Heracross instead. Am currently level-grinding and rock-smashing. It's slow work. I'll get there one of these days.

I would like to apologize for not posting the birthdays of, among others, David Wenham (41 on September 21st), Tom Felton (19 on September 22nd), and Mark Hamill (55 on September 25th). I've been getting around to posting this for a while, so...yeah.

Whoo! Taylor's the new American Idol! Well, if it couldn't be Elliott, Taylor was my next choice. Actually, my ideal final showdown would have been Elliott and Mandisa, but y'know, whatever. Also, I have realized that I find Bucky Covington good-looking. This disturbs me. I think it's the scruffy.

Sadly, I did not watch the Lost season finale. Bad me. But I have good reason: the only episodes I've seen in full are the first eight of season 1, so I don't want to spoil too much, and the finale would probably contain a huge amount of spoilers. Plus half of it was too late for me to watch anyway. I did watch during Idol's commercial breaks, but I didn't see anything involving Dom. Oh well. Maybe I can catch up before the next season.

This post coincides with the birthday of SIR Ian McKellen, who turns 67 and who has 2 recent movies that are either out or coming out soon or both (I don't know, I'm not going to watch them. No offense, Sir Ian). So, um, O.A., you might want to celebrate, seeing as you're Gandalf and all.

First off, I'd like to wish a happy sixteenth to Emma Watson. I totally knew it was her birthday. It didn't have anything to do with my reading it in the paper this morning. *whistles*

Also, vacation started yesterday. Yay vacation! So I've been watching this anime, Pretear, that my friend lent me. (There should be an accent mark on the first e in Pretear, but I'm too lazy to put one there. ^^;;) It's billed as "The New Legend of Snow White", but I don't see really any connection, except that the Pretear is supposed to turn the snow white and there are seven dudes. Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. So it's about this girl named Himeno and it turns out she'd the Pretear and she has to work with these seven guys called Leafe Knights, four of whom could be accurately described as bishy, who are trying to stop the Princess of Disaster from sucking the Leafe, which is like the life energy, out of everything, and this is probably a really confusing run-on sentence. Meh, just watch it. I'm on the seventh episode and I think it's pretty good. Plus it has a really catchy theme song that I'm trying to memorize only it's in Japanese so that makes it harder.

Oh, lookie, I made an artPad. http://artpad.art.com/?ixpvpfdkx5o

I thought I was going to have to take the SATs today (because my parents want me to go to "smart camp"), but apparently I'm not. So I am free to sit here and say random things to you.

Lest I forget, I'd better give a shout-out to Elijah Wood, who turns 25 today.

Did you know people actally ship real people? :O I don't even mean anything that could actually happen. I'm talking Dom/Elijah, Viggo/Orlando, that sort of pairing. That's wrong, yo. But the fanart makes it so right.

Oh, and I saw a commercial for this movie with Harrison Ford in it. He looks so old! I know the last time I saw him he was 30 years younger, but still...it's weird how they grow up so fast. Still can't believe that guy was the Viggo Mortensen of his day. Anyway...

So, the Dom Show was on last night, AND it was on at a decent time, AND it was an episode that actally had Dom in it, AND I'd finished my homework, and so I turn on the channel and THE BLASTED THING DOESN'T WORK. *kills a random person*

I realized all I talk about on here is Dom. (I wonder if I'm obsessed or something?) My readers must be bored out of their heads, all two of you.

So I watched The Dom Show last night. (That's "Lost", for those who don't know.) Well, the last about 25 minutes of it, to be specific. And in spite of what Shad says (:P to you, Shad), I thought it was quite good (and no, not just because of Dom; Dom was only on for about 30 seconds, so there). The episode was rated for "violence". There wasn't that much, but I don't know if this is the exception to the norm or the norm to the exception, or whether it was all just in the first half of the show. I should probably watch more of the show some other time when I don't have school the following Thursday. I wish they'd show it at a more accessible time. Is it out on DVD? I should rent it and then I can watch it from the beginning anyway.

Next time I'll make a post that's actually relevant to something. Unless I don't.
