"It'll put hair on your chest."

Never have the words been more true...

Dav came over last night and we celebrated, you know, being alive and stuff. This celebration involved an entire bottle of Crown Royal Special Reserve. Mmmmmm....

We watched Sin City (both for the second time) with my Dad who told me today it was the "best movie [he had] seen in years." Whoa...Dad is very hip. Mom lasted about 11 minutes into the film (I think it was Hartigan shooting Young Rourke in the balls that sent her packing) before going to bed to read.

Saw the pencils for our project called the Whisperer. Available around Christmas time from the Vicious Circle Project. You will be told when to buy it, don't worry.

About the hair on the chest thing:

You scored as WereWolf. WereWolf: Craving rare Meat, feeling caged, aggitated by being around people. Unable to control one's anger or temper. The person will give off symptoms of the shift. They will seem more hostile, blood thirsty, aggitated. They may even growl, bare their teeth or other animal like tendencies. In rare cases, some will physically change. Facial hair will grow thicker or darker, nails will become longer, canine's will seem longer. Embrace your wild side, for you are The Misunderstood WereWolf.

Hello from Ottawa. Not much to report besides walking around in the heat and an overpriced Guinness at the Chateau Laurier Hotel.

Four Brothers was awesome last night! I do so loves me a revenge drama. Dead Man's Shoes is one of my faves but FourBrothers is DVD worthy.

To be honest: I don't remember most of this crap but that's still a lot of hate. Granted, most of the ones I like I probably hated in high school. Gone 'til Novemeber is my favourite because it's one of "our songs" for Megan and I. Sex and Candy is a close second because that song kicks all sorts of ass.

Make 'em say Uhhhhhhh!!!

Expressing my Anguish through the Majesty of Song...

Yeah yeah yeah...I know that everyone in the free world who wanted to see Anchorman already has but I saw it last night.

It was pretty sweet. Post title is by far my favourite quote and Ben Stiller's "Como esta, beetches!" comes a close second.

---

Watched Friday the 13th V: A New Beginning on the Scream network last night and I've got to say that opening with Corey Feldman is the entire series' most effective. It's just too bad about the rest of the movie. It was better when I was 9.

---

Mom and Dad gave me Brian Wilson's Smile record (thanks Mom and Dad!) because this album sounds more like Mr. Bungle's California album than it does the Beach Boys Endless Summer. Well, that's my comparison not my Mom's. Do yourself a favour and give Retrovertigo a listen on the Bungle site. If that song doesn't make your jaw fall more than three inches away from your upper lip then we can't be friends.

---

Going to see Four Brothers tonight. Wanted to see it for a while. Not exactly a Megan movie.

---

Off to Ottawa for the weekend but you'll hear from me on Sunday methinks.

---

Miss you, Meg!

More sad perverted things people try to find and end up being disappointed when they find my blog...

Here it is. More search keywords that bring people to my site:

-"wifey movies"-not my wife you sick son of a bitch!
-buttsareus-I don't even know how to react to this.
-rebbecca loos-If you know who she is then you are either British or too much of a football fan for me to be friends with. I think they spelt Rebecca wrong too...did I? Archive check!
-"pictures of men without shirts"-Hats! Men Without Hats! When will they ever get it right?
-john leguizombie-I totally thought I invented the clever name for the actor to go by after his role in Land of the Dead. At least I came up with it before this guy.
-pics of dead stuff-Don't know whether to laugh or wipe the hard drive....
-the way R2D2 talks-Ding Ding Ding!!!!The official winner of the title of my next album.

Leave for the centre of the world (Georgetown, Ontario not Toronto) tomorrow morning where hijinx will ensue such as drinking with my parents and drinking with Davinder.

Also: they have Scream. Canada's only all horror television channel. Last time I visited I watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Night of the Hunter, Rawhead Rex and Bad Taste all in one sitting.

An Answer

Kiki asked a question the other day about meeting people online and one of them was about friends (as opposed to the romantic kind of folks you meet online)* and I thought that I'd mention her as being the first friend I ever really met online. Although I'm not sure if it counts having taken the same class and had the occasional chit-chat (first time I've ever typed "chit-chat") at university. That was probably more niceties than actual probing intellectual conversations and stuff. Therefore I won't count it.

So: yes, I have made friends with somebody online. And she's very nice in person.**

*I refuse to refer to them as "platonic." From what I understand: Plato was a bit of a dick and very awkward in mixed company. His ex-girlfriend told me.

**Unlike Davinder who is delightfully evil in person. "In what way?" you ask? Well...you should hear what he says about you behind your back...............

A short one...

This is a short one because I'm up early, hung over, haven't had any coffee yet and am going to a wedding for somebody I don't know.

The following is a payment for anyone who can suggest a means to fixing this "links at the bottom of the page" thing I'm stuck in.

For all you damn freeloaders...well check this out anyway.
You need to see this right now!

That is all.

Comics and the Pahhhty

I picked up some books from the library the other day. And by books I mean graphic novels (you're not very hip if you don't know what I'm talking about; you might only be pelvis):

-Superman: Panic in the Sky: Another early nineties big thing when DC was churning out big things every three months. This big thing introduced Maxima to the regular role of the JLA and into the hearts and minds of all DC readers. My, when I try and think of the DC universe pre-Maxima days I shake my head and wonder if they ever knew the effect she would have. Note: sarcasm.

-Camelot 3000: First thing I've ever read by Mike Barr and Brian Bolland that has nothing to do with Batman. It's good but I'm only 1/12th into it. I've always wanted to read it.

-Avengers: World Trust: Geoff Johns on the Avengers. Heard many good things so I'll check it out.

---

I also finally got my copy of Animal Man: Deus Ex Machina (the last of Morrison's run) but due to my impending move I'm contractually obligated to finish the library books first. I love me some Morrison Animal Man!

Today is the day of the party. It's not really a party; it's a get-together. You can't come, however, unless you pronounce party like Lady Redgrave (can't remember her first name and am assuming that she received the honour from the Queen) in the film version of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. *

"Are you coming to my pahhhhh-ty?"

You hear that Kiki? You must say that!

*Upon further inspection her name is Vanessa Redgrave. I couldn't remember it. There are like four thousand six hundred and twenty-three of them and all of them are overrated. There! I said it!

Oh yeah...1997? It looks like it was made in the early eighties. I know Brit films aren't as polished as their North American counterparts but geez!

Most. Inconclusive. Day. Ever.

Today was dominated by two things: court date and ultrasound.

The day in court was interesting and long (all stemming from an accident I refuse to talk about anymore today). I was on the stand for an hour and a half and endured a rather pussyish cross examination (the guy has a defense built around the fact that I couldn't have been injured because I was in a band at the time; I just enjoy visiting the chiropractor 87 times in 14 months).

After all was said and done the rest of the day was adjourned because my vacationing family doctor couldn't be there to testify. Damn it!

This accident happened in September 2001! 4 freaking years ago! And I didn't even get to do my "Justice for All" routine (I'm out of order? You're out of order! The whole system's out of order!).

Finally Meg and I went to the ultrasound to see baby to be and discovered that our child was moving around too much to be seen having a penis or somesuch nonsense....ah well...still freakin' cute! We don't know the sex (but the party's still on Kiki).

Go to her blog to see the picture taken in the next couple of days.

I'm tired.

Blizzog!

Hey folks! Thought my blog was enjoyable? Try enjoying it all ebonics-ed out at Gizoogle.com! Thanks to Dave for the link.

Speaking of people with names that start with D-A-V, hey Dav! I get to Ontario on the 23rd ( Tuesday but I'm gone from the Thursday night til the morning of the Sunday) and I'm good to meet on the Wednesday night, Sunday night or following Tuesday night for a piss-up.

You can crash at my parents place in Georgetown if you like. Since we'll be drinking I expect you to. Unless you're just going to watch me drink...could be fun for you.

How's the story going?

Currently listening to:

The Batman Begins Soundtrack by Hanz Zimmer and some guy whose name starts with JA (due to my iPod's small display screen). I'm typing faster than I ever have before with minimal mistakes. Where was this album when I was writing essays?

Thought for the day:

People in bicycle helmets with no bicycles. Why?

Yer Damn Frickin' Right, Bub!

You scored as Wolverine. Wolverine is a loner, and a skilled fighter. He's got the hots for Jean Grey but a better fit for him would be Storm. He doesn't like to follow orders which pisses Cyclops off. He has terrible memories from the experimentation done on him at Weapon X. Even though he doesn't show it, he loves the X-Men. Powers: Fast healing and adamantium skeleton and claws. Wolverine 90% Rogue 75% Iceman 70% Jean Grey 65% Colossus 65% Cyclops 60% Emma Frost 60% Storm 55% Nightcrawler 55% Gambit 50% Beast 45% Most Comprehensive X-Men Personality Quiz 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com

Other news:

went to the comic store today and had an encounter with a weirdo Dav and I had at our table at the comic convention last summer.

This time, Dav, he was asking if I've "heard of DC comics", "the time Batman got his back broke" and went into a long tirade about the Shining Knight of all characters! And not the Morrison one.

My God, the comic store is supposed to be "Des time"...

The new thing I say...

Somebody says: "What do you think of ______________?"

I say: "He's alright but I wouldn't want to be stuck in a Russian submarine with him."

This is me being topical...

Whoa...in a Keanu-type fashion.

Thanks to Kiki I checked out this cool quiz. I think I'm probably a little bit more of a Cultural Creative but an aversion to all things religious has skewed my results. Skewed 'em I tells ya!

You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

"There's space over here: beside the vomit!"

That's not a joke...

Went to the Celebration of Lights last night (which by the way sounds much gayer than Symphony of Fire but I digress) and I quite disliked it.

Of course I don't like fireworks. It's a Megan thing. I don't like large crowds either. What a perfect mixture!

We ended up sitting beside the boathouse on a grassy area across Beach Street after having sand kicked all over me by people walking by (where's Charles Atlas when you need him?). There was one catch: there was vomit beside us. It was quite nonfragrant for most of the time.

Ah well...

Your Hidden Talent

You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system. And while this may not seem big, it can be. It's people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes. You're just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices.

What's Your Hidden Talent?

This redeems me from being a sailor in my past life. And yes, Kiki, I do want to watch a human sacrifice.

But only if it's a virgin; I'm very picky.

A Short One

After all my praise for the Hellraiser movies the other day I think I may have ruined it for myself after watching the new one today. Don't get me wrong; Hellraiser: Deader is as good as any other Hellraiser movie made after the second one (indeed it is far better than the third). It's just that I happened to watch the gag reel.

Seeing Doug Bradley fumble his lines and then laugh about it like a little girl really takes away from the whole mystique.

Off to the fireworks!

News and another unused band name...

Hey, news on the indie short story I am working on for The Vicious Circle Project: it's being drawn by Dav!

Get that lead burnin' mister!

---

You Are 40% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird... But too damn weird to do anything about it!

How Weird Are You?

This is about right. Kiki is weirder though.

Post #101

and more inane than usual.

Tried drinking Crown Royal with Schweppes Bitter Lemon last night. It was scrum-diddly-umptious! It nearly voided the taste of the alcohol entirely. I enjoy the taste of Crown (especially since being an ocean away from it for a year) and decided to mix it half and half. This was also voided. Weird. It was only my second drink so it was not the taste buds. Hmmm...maybe I'll have to experiment again tonight. ;)

DAVINDER CHECK YOUR EMAIL!!!!!!!!!

I kind of liked doing that piece about Clive Barker yesterday and have decided to make it a regular thing until I run out of heroes. Sound good?

Now...who's next?
