All I can say is – O…M…G…

It was so funny, yet I can’t understand why it took them 20 years to bring out just 1 movie, when Pokémon are out only 12 years and have had 10 movies!

Anyway, some of the highlights I feel should be mentioned:

  • The Fox bottom-of-screen-scrolling bar advertising Fox shows – and mentioning “Yes, we even advertise in movies now”
  • The fun part where Bart is skateboarding naked through town and his knob is censored all the way – until a bit where a bush censors everything BUT the bit where his knob is!
  • The state that Springfield lies in is still not revealed even in the credits: “Filmed on location in Springfield, .”
  • For those of you who are anal about the actors, they not only list every character that particular actor played in the TV-show style credits, but they also list each character and their respective actor next to it in the movie-style credits bit.
  • The bit near the start where Homer mentions “Why did we pay just to watch something we could see on TV? Why are all you guys (pointing at those in the cinema in Springfield” at a movie when you can watch it at home for free! You are all chumps! Especially you! (points at screen, i.e. you!)”
  • The fact that pig crap and polluted water makes mutating liquid * rushes off to create mutant animals *

And just to show you how funny it was – in it’s 80+ minutes, there were 65 outrageously funny bits, 132 really funny bits, 85 quite funny bits, and countless other types of funny bits.
Yes, that’s a lot of funny!

I missed it, cos Crispy nor Aoife brought me along………. * cries *

HP5, pigging out, and trademarks

Someone ranted back.

Yea, the last week has been eventful. Especially Sunday, when I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
And before you ask, no I will not be telling you what happens in it, just like I’m refusing to tell my sister what happens in the Half-Blood Prince book cos she’s too lazy (and too young) to read it through.

Another thing that happened on Sunday was pigging out. And I mean in the sense when I actually ate until I really was full – and that’s a hard feat to do! After a lunch of roast beef and stuff from the carvery in Slevin’s back in Dunboyne (yummers, except Aoife had to eat half of it….), I was feeling quite hungry after the movie (although I had some Ben and Jerry’s – very expensive in there, 3 scoops for €5.50), so I went and got some Burger King (XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger meal with starwberry milkshake and a cookies and cream ice-cream). Yes, afterwards I WAS feeling quite full, which rarely ever happens. Maybe next time I’ll space out the meals, but then again I doubt I would have gotten any if the girls hadn’t had to go to Penneys to go shopping (it was open until 7pm, unlike the rest of the Centre).

Oh, and I finally got somewhere with one of the few issues regarding my trademark – I managed to find out that the guy on Bebo who’s using it ISN’T one of my old accounts! Yay, now I can finally exercise my common law rights, until the Trademark Office get into gear and give me full control over it, then it’s legal action time!

Mommy’s stolen us! Help us! We’re not near Crispy and thus are not happy! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

And so the holidays drag on….

Mind you it might be more interesting and seem to go by quicker if I had work, but it seems that almost all of the places I try either don’t respond at all, or say “No” when I go there in person.

Ah well, at least some interesting things do happen. Such as the 32 new attempts by spam bots at adding absolute bullcrap in comments to one of the very first blog posts I made: Two Stories Up.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been working on the new blog skin, but once I get work sorted out, then I’ll be spending a lot more time on working on it and making it look better than it is right now – which is really just the default WordPress theme with some CSS and Header changes. It is yet to include the “Mini-Blog” Posts or my idea for a fancy way to lay out the most recent posts.
Ah well, things happen.

No, I haven’t got anything to say either. But then again, I have been cooped up in Crispy’s bag almost all the time.

A low-key birthday

Which is exactly what I wanted! At least that’s how it’s been so far….

Am about to head out to lunch with the extended family (i.e. Colette and Avril are coming as well, don’t know who else), so I’ll have to get back to you with the details of the rest of the day!

Oh, and as you may have noticed, I’ve started work on my new blog skin – I still have a few things to do with it, mainly with the look of the site, and also with a few features like the navigation menu. And hopefully I can learn some Flash to put a Flash movie in :D

* Baby Bear waves *

^^ Oh, and he gets a way to butt into the blog as well :) – I’ll need to work on it though!
