I've never watched Tim Burton's 'Batman' before, but it was on Instant Netflix, so I decided to try it. I like the new films, but I'm not a raving fan, so I thought my critique might be interesting. Hm. *presses play*

.....Open with the stupidest tourist in the world, followed by red-eyed muggers. Does Batman really have nothing better to do than go after muggers? ....and he didn't even get their money back!

Harvey Dent is Lando Calrissian. Jack as...himself? Cue the sexist reporter! Cue Kim...and her prom dress. Sixteen minutes into the movie and we've seen a few seconds of Batman, but no Bruce Wayne. I like that the benefit is for a party and not for, ya know, starving children or medical aide. /)_- Alfred drops a hint big enough to squash Kim's dress ruffles.

"Shoot to kill. Know what I mean?"

How could anyone possibly NOT know what he means?! xDDD

Michael Keaton is soooo short and has crazy eyebrows. xD I love Kim and all, but...Gah. Her hair. I would have preferred fingerwaves throughout the entire movie for her. She has so much hair and it's crimped. *cuts at and makes it look not so frizzy* And ew, she's clingy. Super clingy.

Yeah, okay, that was dumb.

Meg's Magical Holiday Spirit Day

Today I went and saw 'The Nutcracker' for the first time in many years. My mom and I used to go every Christmas when I was a kid. This production was SO good and I already can't wait to see it again next year. When I came home, Adam surprised me with a Christmas tree! Our first. I finally have some Christmas spirit and it's a wonderful feeling. <3

Let's just get this out of the way - I think Katherine Heigl is a beautiful, strong woman and I love beautiful, strong women. I think there should be more of them! However, I do have a problem with her bashing 'Knocked Up' for its portrayal of women and then continually doing movies that portray women negatively. Like this flick. Okay, she's a producer, but she also seems to be kind of like...a bitch. Almost like her 'Knocked Up' character. It's the same fun-loving guy vs. the uptight career woman. Wasn't that her problem with 'Knocked Up'?

Kudos to Gerard Butler, though. He looks like he had nothing but fun doing this movie. I just bet that we will see some waves from Team Katherine about this movie though.

I keep trying to use my journal more and I keep failing. /)_o

New comic today. Lots of homework. Watching my Netflix later, I think we're getting Deep Space Nine and Stargate, third season.

*runs around in a craze*

I'm in Charlotte at my parent's house. Fun Halloween, better than the previous two, and that's no offense to my boyfriend or the dull trouble we seem to get into on Halloween.

*Rant*

One thing that bothers me is that Hollywood likes to take perfectly good foreign films and remake them. Why do we need an Americanized 'The Grudge' or 'The Orphanage'? Instead...why can't American viewers learn to like foreign films and read subtitles? The rest of the bloody world has to read subtitles. I think instead of destroying lovely foreign films, we should read the subtitles and enjoy the art and message of the film. Excuse me for saying, but, only rednecks can't read subtitles. I think these remakes have to do with the need to put a big name in the film so that viewers will cough up the ridiculous charge to see it. Viva la Films!

The comic isn't really about voting, but it has a serious message today that relates to being active. I need to buy an FTP program so I can do more to my website than just update the comic and I JUST ALMOST PEED MY PANTS! I saw my pleco hanging upside down and thought it was dead for two seconds, but apparently it was just getting a tricky angle on my mountain cave decoration. His name shall now be Tony Hawk. Whew, Tony Hawk lives. I love all my fish. Nothing bad should ever happen to Megh's fish! =_=

I had an interview with Ulta today. I think it went well...They seemed to like me? Uhm, plus to having a cosmetology license and sales experience? I'd be making more money, definitely more money, with a mega discount and lots of free products. Also, I could have cheap, awesome hair again.

It's not that I mind being a poor college student with poor college student hair and clothes, but going to that from a cosmetologist awesomeness...it was kind of hard. :/ Poor me.

*goes to make sure Tony Hawk is alive*

Okay, he's fine.

I hope I get that job. Really, really hope.

I say watch this!

Penny and Aggie

I admit, I love this comic. I read it for Aggie and her sassy friends. However, I am really...really...really... tired of the plot going on in the comic. I hope it ends soon. I used to like Karen, but I can't stand her plot to destroy Penny and I hate Karen's boyfriend, Marshall. I can understand the need to be the queen bee, but what. the. hell. You don't set people up as rapists to get what you want! Obviously. Then Marshall is all 'Karen had it so hard yadda yadda yah.' On one hand, he's not listening that his girlfriend is out to destroy the world. On the other hand, who can blame him? Why believe Aggie when he's got Karen sucking on his dick? I hope Karen and Penny get what is coming to them and long live Aggie!

I suppose if you are going to sin anyway, might as well fall in with one you can smile and laugh about.

My Thoughts on My Closet

I cleaned out my closet today and a little more than half of my clothes are now in bags. Most I'm donating, but I'm keeping a few to cut up and see if I can make anything new. Have fun, you know. At least now I can actually see what I have to wear. Being a woman with voluptuous curves, I am always having to challenge myself to look sleek and in control of my body. Combined with being a lazy artist, I'd rather be in pajamas all day, but that's not how I want to represent myself or my work to the world. I think that everyone needs to think of themselves as a brand or a company or a country and how they want to present the total package to the world. We all want to be successful, but it can sometimes be so difficult to feel that way.

Alien/Monster Design

Still very rough.

Okay, so I miscounted and the finale is next week. Oooops. Oh well. Anyway, Jerrell left with his bits and pieces. God, those flowers on the head thing were truly terrible.

Go, go Leanne! As much as I dislike Kenley, I am excited about what other designs she will bring to her show. For ten seconds, let's ignore her annoying attitude, voice, and personality - the fact that she doesn't pay attention to what is being designed really bothers me. That's not a good excuse AT ALL. You are in FASHION, you have to pay attention to what is being done. Stupid girl.

I got my new textbooks today. My terms last nine weeks, btw. Anyway, I open the box and the first thing I see underneath the packing paper is a dvd copy of 'Much Ado About Nothing.' My favorite, the one that has Denzel Washington in it. Oh yeah, it's going to be a great set of classes. I would say that I should have not selected the dvd but I had no idea if the dvd was maybe a literary summary of the play or...something. I wasn't sure if it was the actual awesome movie. My VHS copy is old as fuck. It's the copy my mom recorded off the Disney Channel when it first came on. Ha! Humanities classes rock socks.

I'm in a battle to get my Psych book from them. eeeeergh!

I'm also learning Maya and 3ds this term. Yes, I'm scared. What if I suck? Suck big time?!!

I also still have no job. Thankfully, people are starting to hire for seasonal. Am I still scared? Yeah, I'm still scared! Wtf.

Starting to go through all seasons of Star Gate. I never actually watched that show. Well, I got two discs into the first season and gave up. I had better things to watch, like Buffy, so I did. This time I'm starting in Season 2 and let my friend Wikipedia catch me up on all the important plot points. After I get through SG1...or just get sick of it...I'll switch and watch some Atlantis. Maybe once they find Atlantis, I'll switch. I watched a few episodes at the beach and, uhm, Wraithes are cool. Aliens in general are cool. I loved one of the last assignments for character development class. Create an alien using this long system. The system was actually extremely helpful!

Hm. Going over to Erin's house tonight to watch Project Runway. Is tonight the last one even though they will be eliminating someone from Bryant Park...and then having Bryant Park? I don't care, although I hope Kenley gets thrown onto her ass. I don't want the season to be over because who knows when more will happen? Stupid switching networks...although Bravo is probably one of the most annoying channels EVER.

I have three chapters left. THREE. I can't decide who to kill or who Sira should end up with, both very important questions that should have been answered from the start. I have been setting her up to end up with this one guy...but I don't know if it's altogether believable or not. It's a Fantasy, I know, but...I have half a mind to make her end up with her best friend, who I have been setting up to end up with someone else too. Meh.

New comic tomorrow. I have a week off from classes, hurray! I can finally get to do this developer's challenge for the club.

I am definitely a cult member. >.>

1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb or Wikiquote and find one a quote from each movie.

2. "When fortune smiles on something as violent and ugly as revenge, it seems proof like no other that, not only does God exist, you're doing his will"

3. "Just where do you suppose he cut her up? 'Course, the bathtub! That's the only place where he could have washed away the blood. He better get that trunk out of there before it starts to leak."

4. "I won't argue that it was a no-holds-barred adrenaline fuelled thrill-ride, but there's no way that you could perpetrate that amount of carnage and mayhem and not incur a considerable amount of paperwork."

5. "Oh. Hiya kids. Here is an important message from your Uncle Bill. Don't buy drugs..... Become a pop star, and they give you them for free!"

6. "As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "i" in meat pie. Meat is the anagram of team... I don't know what he's talking about."

7. "Rule One: No mineral or vegetable, only animal. Rule Two: No make-believe things like, ooh, pink dragons and stuff. Now, Rule Three: No disappearing."

8. "There's no pattern to the pebbles here…it's all completely random. I tried to count them but you drove too fast. Hummingbird."

New comic today. Mostly poking fun at how hard Clinton has been to turn into a character.
