Mood: For once not doing homework!

So even after reading all the horrible movie reviews for it in the newspapers, Lance and I went to see Ultraviolet last night. The tempting lure of the very sight and concept of Matrix-like space ninjas from the previews made it simply impossible to resist, because really, how can you possibly go wrong with ninjas? Much less, space ninjas? And so we went in to the theatre optimistic, or at the very least, figuring it would be one of those movies that would be so bad that it was actually awesome; you know, like the Godzilla movies. . .or Star Wars. *Fanboys pelt her to death with Boba Fett bobbleheads* In that respect, Ultraviolet managed to EXCEED ALL OF OUR HORRIBLE, WORDLY EXPECTATIONS.

Examples of the running commentary which ensued:
"Why do the ninjas shatter like they're made of glass?! Why are her clothes and hair changing color?! How is she defying gravity, and what does it have to do with the miniature exploding sun on her belt?! (Better yet, Lance, WHY DO YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT?!) WTF, the virus makes you a fucking vampire?! Why does everyone have fangs except her until the last five minutes of the movie?! OMGZ, random Japanese yakuza! Holy shit, where did they get the flaming swords?! "You got Hemophage blood on me. It is on."

We laughed the entire way through. It was two free movie tickets well spent.

Now for something else funny. VG Cats #188. So horribly, horribly, gruesomely funny. . . =D

I'm starting to hone my newfound Magic skillz. (You know, for a big noob anyway. So that is to say I still suck. But at least I understand what my cards mean.) YAY, MAGIC!

I'd just like to express how much I love how the creators of Penny Arcade, who have been long-devoted PC users, are now literally joygasming in their pants about how much they love their new iMacs. It just goes to show, we can eventually convert anyone. We're like the Borg. "Resistance is futile." *Shoots herself in the head for making a Star Trek joke.*

Speaking of which:

Which PA character are you?

Right on. Well. . .except for the pie part. . .

So I finally received my #86 Insider magazine in the mail with the Grievous articles in it that I've been nearly killing furry kittens in excitement to read. They were sadly disappointing. I think I pretty much saw the big let down coming when the article started out with: "Once upon a time. . ." =_= No new pictures, just redrawn versions of the promotional images -- not even a glimpse of an unmasked Kaleesh. No Kaleesh cultural or species information. Nothing in-depth about Grievous' family.

Worst of all, it was written like a bad fan fiction. They went so low as to give Grievous a female Mary Sue warrior comrade who died tragically years ago, like all Mary Sue's do, in which Qymaen mourns for forever and a day and renames himself "Grievous" because he is destined to "grieve forever" over the loss of her. OMG. Gag me. They turned him from such a incredibly interesting, three-dimensional character with so much potential to give a good story to; and made him your boring, run-of-the-mill, angsty brute. All of the official SW writers must take lessons from George Lucas himself or something. I think a little part of my soul was just raped and left to die. What a way to completely ruin a good character. For the first time in my fangirly life, I'm choosing to flat out ignore the canon material and stick with Heimchen's version. (Speaking of which, whenthehellisshegoingtoupdateOMG.)

That was my rant. I'm done now. Moving on. . .

Hmm. Actually, I can't think of anything else interesting to note. Ooh, except that my birthday is in one month and we're going to go to Yuk Yuks again and I'm going to book the entire weekend off and YAY! *Deep breath*

Shit, and my archives are still not fucking updating. I actually went through the trouble of adding them manually to the list, and now they've disappeared again. WTF. Anyone out there have any idea what the hell is going on?
