OMG, two blog posts in a day? From me?! :o:o:o
I just ordered--yes--The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary Edition.
Black leather. Gold-gilded pages. Tolkien's signature engraved on the back in gold. One-book edition.
Marked down from $85 to $51, perfect for my cheap ass.
I already own the three books, but ever since I learned that LotR is meant to be a single book, I've been wanting one done right. And here it is.
Well, when my hives began to spread and my legs literally looked like they were covered in second degree burns, I decided to go to a doctors. I got me some prednisone, and that stuff works fast. My hives are going down on my legs and are almost completely gone on my arms and crotch.
People (especially the doctor I saw, a new guy since I don't have medical insurance) are astounded that it's Benadryl that I'm allergic to. Nobody has ever heard of such a thing. It doesn't help that Benadryl is the standard antihistamine. Yet it says rashes, itching and swelling can occur from Benadryl right here.
Oh well. I'll get House up in this *****.
Anyway, I saw the teaser for The Last Airbender, which looks awesome for what little we see. . . but then, Transformers looked pretty awesome, too, and just see how that trash turned out. Still, my hopes for the movie have gone up a tad. And on IMDB, we can see a picture of Zuko, who actually doesn't look horrible, though we can't yet see whether they put the scar on his face (they'd better). It seems they made Aang ten in the film (he's twelve in the show), probably because Noah Ringer (who seems to visually fit the part) is nine (or so I've heard) and doesn't quite look like a twelve-year-old.
There is still one huge casting issue.
He plays Iroh.
If you've seen the show, you know just how horrible this really is. Jesse McCartney as Zuko wouldn't have been as bad a fit (visually) as that.
AAAAAAARGH!!!!!!
I went to bed fine last night. Perfectly fine.
Today I woke up with a rash all over my body, and my entire body is itching like hell. Nothing is helping. It hurts. :cry: All I can think of that could cause this is an allergic reaction to some Benadryl I took the day before yesterday; an allergy medicine.
EDIT: Well, it's 5:30 in the ****ing morning and here I am, itching too much to sleep. It's gone from rash to hives all ovber my arms and legs and pubic area. :cry: There's one huge one on my wrist that's pressing down on it and hurting my entire arm.
EDIT 2: IT'S IN MY EARS!!:cry:
I finished Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, and I loved it. It was just amazing.
My only beef with it is it being considered a childrens' book. All the swearing, violence, death, philosophical themes and even a small hint of alien sex (nothing graphic, and it only lasts for a sentence but it's there) make this a book I wouldn't give to any children of mine.
But other than that, it was great. Read it.
Don't touch me. I need to bathe in scalding hot holy water in order to cleanse myself of this abomination.
I mean, what the hell? What. The. Hell. I already knew that Robert Downey, Jr. looked completely not like Holmes (I know he's a fictional literary character, but still, Downey, Jr. is NOT him), but I still managed to hold onto some hope for the movie.
And then this. . .thing came out, apparently expecting me to like it. What the hell did they do? They made Holmes (just Holmes, mind you) into some drunken lunatic. His younger, less wisened days, perhaps? NO! Because, for one thing, Holmes wasn't like that when he was young!
And the explosions and the slow-mo and the godforsaken "action". . .what the hell?
The ONLY thing that looked remotely decent in that trailer was Watson. That is IT. And he appears to be the voice of reason character, ala Alfred from Batman, to stabilise an overemotional Holmes.
THAT'S NOT ****ING WATSON'S JOB!
WATSON'S job is to point out some obvious detail, thus leaving room for Holmes to go "What are you, stupid?" in the most civilised way possible before completely blowing every previous theory out of the ****ing water with a ****ing fingernail or some ****.
It seems they've turned an honest cIassic masterpiece into a generic "shoot 'em up and **** 'em up" ****-pile of excessive action and sex, all delivered by a dumbass underdog protagonist who learns maturity and wisdom and some cheesy "life lesson" **** during the last ten minutes of the movie.
I cannot fathom how this movie will ever possibly succeed. I know some movies surpass the expectations given by their trailers (Drag Me to Hell), but honestly, NO. JUST. NO.
I had school yesterday (of course) so I missed the Microsoft and Nintendo E3 conferences, but I managed to catch the Sony conference (hence the emblem). The trailers for Assassin's Creed 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction and the Last Guardian probably excited me the most.
First, AC2. I saw the trailer. Two pairs of pants and t-shirt later, somebody knocked at my door, saying they heard a woman screaming. After I assured him that nobody was being held captive and I'm just an obsessed AC fan, he, too, saw the trailer, screamed, borrowed a pair of jeans and went home.
Then SC:C. I have been eagerly waiting for this game since it was announced in 2007. I have a couple of concerns for the game (such as how your objectives and game scenes are displayed like a projection on the wall. . .it looks kinda stupid), but it still looks awesome.
The Last Guardian was a surprise; I didn't know anything about it until E3. At first I thought it was a Shadow of the Colossus sequel (I can dream, can't I?), but no, it was just made by the same group (I think). Still, it looks awesome.

Time stands still when you touch my face again
The broken clouds become complete

I have seen exactly one (1) episode of the Original Star Trek series, and I hated it. Shatner is the single most overdramatic man I have ever seen, anywhere. I much prefer The Next Generation.
But I went to see the Star Trek movie on opening day, and it was unbelievably awesome. Go see it. It was amazing. The characters were incredible; Spock was my favorite.
Before that movie, I couldn't tell you who the hell Scotty is or why the hell people do that "Live long and prosper" dealy. But I still loved the movie. You don't need ANY exposure to the Original Series to enjoy this kickass film.
