Cleaning Out My Inbox--Lots of Random Things.

I am cleaning out my email inbox. Why would this be important to my blog? Well, a lot of the things I post I don't find while I have my blogger up, so, I email them to myself. Whatever I find today will be here no matter what the category is! Isn't that fun?! Here we go.


Love this. I mean, it's evil, scared and CUTE at the same time.


And I have to post this one because this is what I scream when I pull out all 13 of my cards...I am working on collecting more...but I can't get to it. Blah. I need a Pikachu...

This is amazing. It reminds me of something Gumball and Darwin would do...these guys...I am so going to try this now. :)
Stark’s Moving Castle - Steve & Tony would make an excellent Sophie & Howl. Picture the 'tidied the bathroom/accidental hair dye' scene. Also Jarvis = Calcifer.

Okay. So, when I saw this, I laughed until my internal organs cried out for mercy. I mean, if you have seen The Avengers and Howl's Moving Castle, there is no way you could not know what this is. OH MY GOSH! They even got the art-style of Miyazki right! Love goes out to whoever made this. OMGOSH. 

I sent it to my sister and this is what I got in reply. TONY STARK MADNESS! ALRIGHT!!

That would be an EPIC sort of movie...I wonder if they would argue most of the time or just be cool with each other. OR! They could have "Who's mustache is better?" And then Jack would be all, "MINE IS BRAIDED." And then I am sure that Tony would come up with something clever to say. ♥


HAHAHAH YES! I honestly would pay to watch them have a debate. (Not really sure who the woman is, although I think it is like Tyler Perry something or another...lets not go there.) I think that Captain Sparrow, Si, Sheldon and Tony would be equal and the argument would go on forever. At any rate, Sheldon and Tony could go on and on. Then House would show up and be like, "WUT." Then all we would need is Sherlock and the Doctor to show up and then...Well, I would be watching until I expired. Yeah.

The top four would be hilarious to watch.


I know this is somewhat...how they say...wrong...but I can't help but think it would be for the better. Haha. But I do like everyone's reaction in the fourth picture. :D


:)


My pictures got out of line and we are back to the kitties. :)


Every time. Does the kitty listen? Eh....most of the times, no.


And then more cats and...uh..Sheldon again. Hmm. WHY DOES HE ALWAYS SHOW UP HERE!!???? I am technically not even allowed to watch that show--my mum frowns upon it--but somehow...I think I had only looked this up because I went past the episode and Bernadette was seeing his cats and she was all like:

"Oh I love cats. The are the epitome of indifference."
I was all, "YES! YES!" But somewhere in that episode, he was just sitting in his bedroom surrounded be cats and...

I DON'T WATCH THIS. MOVING ON.

xD

(Oh, this email is chocked full of Thranduil things I had planned for a different post. Let us skip those.)

My brother sent this to me. I thought it was awesome. Dr. Seuss is amazing. Sneetch love, going on out. :D

Embedded image permalink

Yeah. Look! We have more Pokeymans! I knew we would have some more!

\
My brother sends me the best things. Robert Downey Jr. I repeat this all the time now. I can't believe how funny he is in real life. Like, he's just like Tony Stark in real life...probably a little less...you know...Tony. I had an awkward conversation about him with my mom. I may save that for another day though. *shivers* *laughs*

Hmm...it seems we have more Iron Man/Batman things. I get sent a lot of Iron Man things...Hmmm. But this was funny. It's totally something he would do, although, I can't see Tony playing chess...

http://www.jokesbuddy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/funny-image-26.jpg

This was just...sad. Sad and cute.

\
That is just so cruel. It's almost as bad as something I heard my brother tell my other brother the other day:

"You are grounded until Spiderman becomes an Avenger!"

So, basically, that means forever...unless of course Spiderman does become one. Then, that threat totally backfired on brother dear...Hehe.

If Merlin and Arthur could text.

I love these texts. The ones between Merlin and Arthur are especially funny. I guess Sherlock is an emotionally-destroying show...I NEEDS TO WATCH AND FEEL THESE FEELS!!!

There’s ‘slow on the uptake’, and then there’s Arthur.
\
Yup.

\
This one is my last text messages it seems. I don't think a mustache would work for him though. xD

This.

I didn't know that they weren't finished sentences...I do this all the time. Especially when watching Doctor Who...the most used one is, "What the?"

MAYBE THAT'S HOW HE COMES BACK <<<< headcanon accepted

This is something I have done many times before. *sigh* He never comes for me.

Yep.

Hehehe. YUP. Couldn't have said it better myself.

The substitute teacher with majestic hand writing.

I think I only kept this because his hand-writing was amazing...It's like LoTR font...Who has everyday font like that in real life?! It's awesome!

:)

Good old Narnia. Not everything has to have a logical explanation. ♥


Ahah. Weird...but slightly fabulous... :)

But I am not going to post all the Nutella Memes I have been sent.

SO THERE WE GO!

I guess next time it will be GIFs that I have been sent and seen.

Bye for now.

A Quick One--Birthdays/Horses/Notes

 I have to be quick because the Internet could go out at any second. The thing is, I just needed to post about a couple things.

One of these things being...I WAS RIGHT.

 The thing there is I am not usually right about normal things like well, any school/smart related things. But when it comes to movies/actors/singers/books and songs, well, I am pretty good at that.

 For instance, this evening, I watched War Horse with my sisters. Long story short, THAT MOVIE WAS AMAZING!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I would have cried if I was not forcing myself not to. Anyway, there was a soldier in this movie and he looked awful familiar. So I sit and watch for a while and wait for a close up. After a few moments of a mental war and mumbling to myself in a psychotic manner, I come to the realization that this army guy looks like Benedict Cumberbatch. I don't know this for sure at the time, so I just rattle the idea off at my sister. She later goes and looks it up and...I WAS RIGGGGGGHT!!!! Of course, he was kind of blonde-ish and had a very strange mustache, so it was a little hard to tell him from the pics you see when his hair is brown.....BLAH.....I was pretty happy. I even stayed until the credits to see if I was right. (Yes, I am that shallow.) The only problem with this whole thing is that early on in the movie, he was taken captive by the Germans and we saw no more of him.

Tom Hiddleston was also in the credits. It was a familiar name to see then because I had looked up "Muppets Most Wanted" and found that he was in it. Turns out, (and this will sound lame to some) he plays Loki in the Avengers and Thor and such. So yeah, that was a great discovery.

 Speaking of Cumberbatch, and Birthdays, (it is in the title for a reason, yes) now that I think of it, it was his Birthday the other day. So, since I wasn't able to blog that day, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY goes out to Mr. Cumberbatch. He is 37. I seriously thought he was older than that...Just shows to go ya how I need to be on the Internet more...

 And the other HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! goes to my favorite game show host, Alex Trebek! Host of Jeopardy! Today, he is 73!

It's strange that one is 37, and the other is 73. IT IS FATE! DESTINY!!!

A HORSE---

 Today is also Willem Dafoe's birthday. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILLEM!!! I recognize him today because he voiced my favorite character from Tales From Earthsea, the Ghibli film. That was an awesome movie, I don't know why people dis Miyazaki's son's films...My favorite character is Lord Cob. I loved loved loved (and yes, I will say it three times just like Eloise's Nanny. Hehe) Cob's voice was...*brace yourselves* AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I get the time, I will post a video. That is, if I can find a video.

I still need to get those Earthsea books. They sit on the library shelves. Taunting me. Tempting me. Even though I KNOW that they KNOW I have too much to read at home...little devils they are...

 I did spend some time reading Eloise in Paris today. I forced my little sister into getting it at the library because I wanted to read it so bad. It was pretty good...she has her own little language and there is no puncuation in the whole book...I liked it :)

Don't judge me. I read little kid books. SO? THAT IS GOOD FOR THE MIND RIGHT? HEALTHY EVEN!

 Yes. Sure. That post was "quick."

I must go now.

I was notified that I had made 2 Tangled references. I am fabulous.

Hehe.

♫THEY CAAAMMMMEEEEE♫

 SO! Last week, around Wednesday, I ordered two cd's from Amazon.

After a week and a half of waiting...

AND WAITING...

AND WAITING...

AND SITTING BY THE MAILBOX JUST WAITING...

It came.

 So what did I order, you ask? Well, after getting The Civil Wars album from the library, I listened to it about 7 times all the way through in the two weeks I had it. That is what I got today. And if I am reading the correct sources...THEY ARE COMING OUT WITH A SECOND ALBUM!!~insert fangirl squeal here~ I cannot wait! Cannot wait...cannot wait...

The other thing I got was The Lumineers album. I loved "Ho Hey" so I bought the album. Makes sense. Totally. Hopefully the album in itself is as amazing as the single. :)

In other news: I saw a man today that looked like Hayao Miyazaki. Then I texted my sister about it. But I doubt it was him. I don't think he would have any good reason to be here in the northeast...Unless he was coming to visit me...


                                                                               YES.
I also finished painting my brothers room. And I am now currently watching Merlin. Yes, it's back on the SYFY channel. I could cry with happiness.

I should be returning...

The Continued List.

 Hello, long time no see! I have been waiting for an opportunity to actually get on my laptop. Sure, I could do it anytime, but I was never motivated until today. I decided that I should finish the post that I started, and frankly, I missed blogging!


       So here is the list I was talking about.

  •         NARUTO VOLUME 9
  •         HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE
  •         WAITING FOR SUMMER'S RETURN~KIM VOGEL SAWYER
  •         THE INHERITANCE~TAMERA ALEXANDER
  •         REMEMBERED~TAMERA ALEXANDER
  •        MAID TO MATCH~DEEANNE GIST
  •         STEVE JOBS~WALTER ISAACSON
  •         Revealed by Tamera Alexander
  •         Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones (The original Novel)
  •         Spirited Away, a Studio Ghibli film
  •         Courting Trouble by Deeanne Gist
  •         Deep in the Heart of Trouble by Deeanne Gist


These are the books/movies I have recently been working on. Naruto, Howl’s Moving Castle, Remembered, Maid to match, and Spirited Away, are finished. My plan was to write a brief review about each of them.  Here we go!


 Naruto Volume 9: Not much to say about it…Except it was awesome! It covered the third part of the Chûnin Exams. Fights including, Kiba VS Naruto, Hinata VS Neji, and the last part of the battle between Ino and Sakura. Then Rock Lee was chosen to fight Gaara. And then it was...TO BE CONTINUED! Now I have Volume 10 on hold. ^^ (Totally killed me, I wonder who will win. No internet spoilers for me this time!) Over all, it was really good. If you are into that kind of stuff.




 Remembered.  If you have read Rekindled, and basically any other books by Tamera Alexander, this one will please you. When I picked up Revealed, I realized that the characters all showed up in each other’s lives’ in the books. Larson and Kat Jennings made a small appearance in Remembered. It took me a couple minutes—after I finished the book of course—to realize that they were in Rekindled. It was kind of epic. Remembered was a wonderful book. Period. Alexander hasn't failed me yet!


 Maid to Match, written by Deeanne Gist, was also wonderful. I honestly started around 3 on one afternoon. I finished the book around 10:30 that same evening. It was one of those books that I didn’t want to stop. Not even for things like eating or ya know, moving so your legs don’t fall asleep to the point where you can’t use them for an hour.  

If it isn’t quite obvious, I am into Historical Fiction…Hehe.

 Anyway, that about settles it. I have finished my list.

  So, how did your Labor Day weekend go? Mine included an all-day read-a-thon 
of Remembered, BBQ ribs with the family, and to finish it off, a new episode of Adventure Time! Which really wasn't a huge highlight of the evening…I was reading so I really didn't even pay attention. Lol.

 The summer is coming to a close, and now I have the school bus down the street to tell me what time it is in the morning. Not the greatest thing, but I won’t complain. I need to learn how to get up early anyway. ^^

  I should move on now, I still have one more thing to do before I leave the blogosphere for today.

Howl's Moving Castle. My new Obsession ^^


I know, I know, I haven't been here in a while. And I have neglected this post since Wednesday. It was just late that night when I finished the movie, and Paranormal Witness was on. That's my honest excuse.

 So, to get this started, here is my review for Howl's Moving Castle.

Okay, first things first. Howl's Moving Castle is a Studio Ghibli film directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The release date for the USA was in June, 2005. I believe that Disney had Pete Doctor, from Pixar, in charge of dubbing it into English. It was based on a novel by, Diana Wynne Jones.

All I have to say about Doctor's work, is this.HE COULD NOT HAVE CHOSEN A BETTER VOICE FOR HOWL IF HE TRIED. I am serious. That was the PERFECT voice for that character. And I am not just fangirl-ing out! It was that good! The voice of Howl is a man by the name of, Christian Bale.

   Some Cast members include, (in English)
Jean Simmons -Grandma Sophie,
Christian Bale-Howl,
Lauren Bacall-Witch of the Waste,
Blythe Danner -Madame Suliman,
Emily Mortimer -Young Sophie, 

and Billy Crystal, as Calcifer... That was basically epic. 'Cept now, whenever I hear Billy's voice, I only think Mike Wazowski. I don't know if that's a bad thing, or a good thing. Lol. 

 All in all, the story was good. I liked the smaller elements, *Spoiler Alert* like when Howl had his melt down, (which was kinda pathetic, but I liked it just the same. It was funny. ^^) And other things, like the funny things Calcifer said, and so on. I don't wanna spoil it, so I won't say anymore.

 But the basic plot of the story was great. I read that it was a little different from the novel...So the original book will be on my list of books to read. 

 Now, don't get my started with the animation. Because I love 2-D animation. I love how the Ghibli films are just that. I grew up with the older anime and such. Little did I know at the time, that they were Anime. I was a child, so things like that were just, cool shows. ^^

 Anyway, I kinda went off on some memory lane there...Back to my point. I liked it all. The character design, music, animation, colors, script, everything. I know it may sound like everything pleases me, but there are some movies where I will just sit there and complain. But this was awesome. The minute it started, I instantly liked it. So- I was glad that is was almost 2 hours long. 

 I know only a little bit of Ghibli's work, sadly. Ponyo, and Kiki's s Delivery Service, and this one, are honestly the only films I have seen. My anime/movie watching had a rough time actually happening, but now I plan to see every one of the movies. 

 That's it. If it makes any sense. Haha.

In the end,  it was awesome, and I totally recommend it if you haven't seen it. 

 I shall be back. My foot has fallen asleep and I must go walk it off. That and Surviorman is on...hehe. 

 Later Days! ^^
