Watchmen FTW, and other things that happened today

Woot! I totally pre-ordered it off of Amazon. -._-.

Anywho, I watched it as soon as I beat the Post man down for it. [Ehehehe, not really.]

So anyways the best part of watching to movie on DVD was I got to fast forward through all the sex scenes. I mean its not that I don't like watching two people get it one after kicking ass I just would rather not watch it.

Anyways, my mom wanted me to let my little brother watch it with me and I told her 'No mom hes too little. Its rated R' so I finally got my brother to leave me alone after I showed him the dirty scenes . xD Im so devious

After I finally finished watching Wathchmen [Squee! Its so fun to say..or in this case type] My friend came over and we went to watch Secret Window. On the way back upstairs I got a HUGE splinter jammed underneath my index finger on my right hand. I didn't notice how big it was intill I pulled it out and blood started to pour down my finger. -shudder-

I made my grandma go by me a series of different bandaides. A case of Batman bandaides and a case of wild animal bandaides. Even though it stopped bleeding the bandaide just makes it feel a lot better. xD

Well isn't this just bananas?

I was searching the web the other day and I came across some information that I thought to be rather interesting.

There was a thing on Yahoo, that claims Humans have been opening bananas the wrong way for hundreds of years. You see, Humans tend to open the banana from the stem, and it seems to be really frustraing to pull and twist the stem and in the end the top of the banana is mushy. Who wants to eat a mushy banana anyways? So a team of hispanic researchers studied some monkeys and its turns on that the monkeys were opening bananas the right way for hundreds of years. Who knew?!

When monkeys open banana's they open it from the bottom . Crazy right? Wrong. Turns out that its much simpler to open bananas that way. After watching the video, I still didn't believe it and decided to test it myself. So, I took the banana and pinched the bottom like they did in the video and what do you know, it worked. It was much simpler and way faster. So from now on, I will be opening bananas that way just to save a moment or so. You should try it too and let me know how it works out. C;

Movie Review for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince [SPOILERS]

After successfully sitting through this movie twice [YES, twice.] I have prepared a well thought review from a true Potterite. So, lets the truth reveal itself.

Alright, where should I even begin? Lets start by saying things that were good about it.

For starters, the graphics and costumes were well put together as for the set, I do not see the point in changing the set every movie. Not drastically, but nonetheless it has been changed in one way or another. As well as props...well they were changed a bit too but still blended in just the same.

The movie was great for someone who had not read the book, but for me it lacked a lot of things. This is the part where I start complaining like a three year old, if you don't want to hear it-- or in this case read it, push the back button.

The beginning of the movie was WAY different to the book. In the book we see young Harry looking over a letter Dumbledore had sent saying that he was coming for Harry at the Dursley's home. In the movie we see Harry at a cafe in the subway station, flirting with the cute waitress when Dumbledore appears across the way beckoning Harry to come and join him.

Throw the next scene or so everything follows suit with the book, Mr.Yates even threw is a few jokes that even got me to chuckle a bit. Later on, I noticed another minor detail that had been changed; the layout of The Burrow [or the Weasley home] was changed and appeared to bee taller and had more of a lean to the structure. [Which contributed to the way it had been originally intended to look]

After the journey to Hogwarts everything seemed great, funny jokes, great costumes, and everything followed the book[which wasn't a big deal to me I just like pointing things out xD].

The newest addition to the Hogwarts staff, Horace Slughorn, was as great as he was in the book. Ron was of course...well Ron. Hermione was a bit more 'I love Ron and dangit I want him to notice me.' Harry was like, 'Man, I am the chosen one..wow, Ginny is hot.' so nothings really changed. [Lol]

So, the movie floats along yadayadayada and Harry gets that old ratty potions book that belonged to The Half-Blood Prince , yadayadayada and Ron makes Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team and is being stalked by Lavendar Brown. [Lol stupid blonde]

Skipping to Christmas now and Lupin is having a yelling fit with Harry over what he heard Snape and Draco talking about [Yet, Lupin failed to tell Harry that Finir Greyback was the werewolve that bit him like he did in the book, which in the long run will cause confussion] and then Lupin storms off. After talking to Mr.Weasley Harry begins to go inside when Deatheaters appear out of the sky[this entire scene wasn't in the book] and of course Bellatrix starts bragging about how she killed Sirus Black so Harry goes chasing after her, and like a moron Ginny goes following after. Lupin, Tonks, and Aruther run after the three and show up just in time to help Ginny and Harry fight off some Deatheaters who in revenge set fire to the Weasley's home.

The rest of the movie follows suit with the book so skipping about 45 minutes later to when Dumbledore and Harry are off to find a horcrux. It was put together great and I thought that this scene was the best out of the movie because it was exactually like I had imagined in the book. So the rest of the scenes were great intill it came time for Draco to kill Dumbledore, that scene equaled EPIC FAIL.

Snape ends up going through with the deed and Alan Rickman has NO emotion what so ever with killing him; funny to watch. So, Hermione tells Harry that her and Ron would like to accompany him on his search for the remaining five horcurxes and then credits. No funeral for Dumbledore, though like I said it is rumored that it will be the first scene of the first part of the Deathly Hollows which is to be released in November of 2010.

Overall, I'd give the movie three and a half stars out of five. The story was good for one who didn't hope to see certain things from the book that weren't included yet it lacked a few things that I felt needed to be there. But go see it if you want to see a good action movie. C:

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Movie Rumors [WARNING- SPOILERS]

Thank the Movie God for the blessing of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 's release...but will the fans like the movie as much as the rest? There has been many many rumors of changes being made in the story of our beloved famous wizard, the question is no longer "How is the quality of the film and the story?" but is "Will the devoted fans approve of the changes?" it is still too early to tell if the diehard fans will be as forgiving after the release date has been changed [the film was originally scheduled to be released November 18th 2008] and these unexpected story changed.

So, recently I've been reading reviews for the up coming sixth out of the eight Harry Potter movies which is to be released this Wenesday [Hurrah for the Potterites like me C:]. In most of the reviews for the movie it says things like "The ending will be entirely different then the book. Dumbledores funeral will not be in the movie." So to my understanding....Dumbledore's funeral isn't there? WTFH!? From what I've read, Dumbledore's funeral is to be at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part I, but it is for now just a rumor.

Other things I've read ranged from "Some fretted the budding romance of Hermione and Ron and between Harry and Ginny might seemed forced and not have the chemistry it had in the book." and "David Yates, director, claims that the ending of the movie had to be changed from the book to fit the mood of the movie." :/ I don't like the sounds of that too much. But, maybe this Yates guy is right....or he may have screwe up the rest of the story completely.
Forgive my constructive critisim and saying so in my own opinion, he has changed many things in the last two of the movies he directed and I really hope these last 3 will make up for it...let's really hope so.



I guess I will find out in a short while if any of this is fact and will be posting a movie review first thing tomorrow. Stay tuned to hear it from a diehard Potterite like myself.

I saw Jupiter and the Moon! -happy dance- Plus the spotting of a constellation.

SUCCESS!

I have finally seen Jupiter! I feel so accomplished I've always wanted to see Jupiter. I got so lucky to watch the news on July 11th [instead of Harry Potter for a change]. So around..oh lets say...nine thirtyish? I went out side and sat in the middle of the street [not joking when I say that.] with my binoculars and watched the sky intill Jupiter was just to the right of the moon. It was a beautiful sight to see even in it did look just like a star. C:

I am still very estatic about my first sighting of Jupiter though I am very sure that I have seen it before without knowing as well as the night time smile [Venus, Jupiter and the Moon] back in April. Sadly that combination of planets and the moon will not be seen again intill 2052...I hope I am still living to see the sight once more, but that time I will know what I am looking at XD.

Oh and on an up note I have spotted Draco, one of the ten constellations visible in July. It is made of thirteen stars and a lovely sight to see, once I find the USB cord for my camera...I will upload the pictures. [for you Mary! xD] I promise! Intill another spotting, Shae out!

My Final Goodbye to Michael Jackson. <3

Thank You Michael.
for the music that I sing
for the dances I dance
for the styles that I wear
for the charity you've brought to the world
for changing everyone's view
for making my day when i was sad
　
　
You were my Idol;
my favorite dancer.
My inspiration;
one of my heroes
You were always there;
even when you weren't
The music never died.
The clothes you wore were always unique;
your own sense of style
All of your performances always thrilled everyone
Even on trial you still dazzled;
Even when you went to court in you PJ's
Your kids were so lucky to have a father like you
Your family was lucky to have such a loving man like you
All of your music will live on in your fans;
but there will never be another one like you
I wish I could have met you; tell you this in person
It was on my list of things to do before I turned 21 to meet you
But I have not been able to achieve that
If you are watching down from the sky then you see how much you are missed;
you see how much you are loved
how you will never be forgotten
I know it is wrong that this had happened the way it did
I know that it is wrong that people who never liked your music won't even give you respect now
I am not one of those people
I am not someone who knew you personaly;
i do not care;
I am just a fan who loved everyhing you did
I will never be the same; knowing you are gone
But I may be able to find comfort in your music;
and knowing that you are watching from above.
So this is my final goodbye;
to you the King of Pop
You will always be missed but never forgotten
Thank you for everything
Michael Jackson

Camping Trip and the Gettysburg Reenactment

Oh my Spock.

Boy am I glad that camping trip is over.

You see over the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of July I stayed in a tent in Codorus State Park in Hanover Pennyslvania. It was pretty fun. My Uncle and my brother and I all got in a motor boat to go fishing. My brother sat at the front, I sat in the middle, and my Uncle sat in the back to steer. I claimed the post of captain and told my uncle he could be my commanding officer. We went around the lake and stopped to fish for at least an hour...we didn't catch anything but my brother tried to go on a mutiny...which resulted on him falling into the lake. It was great. He deserved it so much though. XD Anyways the next day we went down to the pool area and hung out there for about an hour before going back up to the campsite and eating lunch. My stupid brother started to piss us off so my uncle and I went into a grassy clearing and played with a frisbee. We played fpr a while then went back to the pool for a few hours then night fishing. When night fishing I caught a craw fish and named it Phil. We continued to watch fireworks. The next day it was time to pack up. After taking everything down we drove into Gettysburg.

Each night we were camping we drove down to Gettysburg to watch the reenactment. Ah, what isn't there to love about Gettysburg? Good food, great history, and people walking around in clothes of the 1800's. C:

Anywho, we watched all 3 days of the battle. People shot each other and what not. So great. Well the second day we were there we went into a resturaunt and all of the waitresses wore bustle dresses and talked as if we were in the time of the war. Some told us about the battle and some talked about the whole war. We went to one store that was confederate supporters and some who weren't. All in all my Fourth of July was great fun. :]
