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. :)

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

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...

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.

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!!!

\

Yup.

\

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

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?"

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

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

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.

Things that feed interests...

...that may have already become obsessions...

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to the mall with my sister and mother for their birthday trip. Reasons being that their birthdays are so close together that we celebrate them both on the same day. And every now and then, it’s fun to have a girl’s day out!

I ended up buying two books from this book store. Them being: The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King. I now own The Hobbit, The Fellowship of the Ring, and those two!

I had also purchased two music albums last week. Both of them Josh Groban related. The first one, was bought a day after it came out. All That Echoes is his new one. Then I got his Awake album because I love February Song to death and back…They are both stupidly AWESOME! FANTASTIC! STUPENDOUS! GREAT! WONDERFUL! AMAZING! ...Looking for synonyms for Awesome… TREMENDOUS  REMARKABLE! INCREDIBLE! Yeah…All that AND a bag of Chips ;) *wink*

THEN! I got this HUGE sketch book that I am going to fill with sketches of Gaara and Zuko…That’s probably what it will end up being filled with…Even if not intentionally… 

~sigh~

Well, a couple weeks ago, I had the troubling project of finding a birthday present for my sister. I came up with these little cuties down below. I have to be honest here; the Gaara and Bolin pins are mine. But they were just too cute to pass up! I see the Kakashi one coming to join their little family at some point soon. THEN there were the ones for my sister: the Shikamau Nara one, and the Howl one, of course. The Howl one was bought from a different seller, but all of these buttons were from a lovely little place called ETSY! 

THIS IS MY FAVVVVVORITE!!!!!

You can find IcyPanther's shop here. And then Zelas shop: here.

YAY ETSY!!!

Oh! By the way, my new favorite song is called I Just Haven’t Met You Yet by Michael Buble. Blast that baby up to maximum sound in the morning and your day will be excellent. Trust me. His music style reminds me of the musical styling of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy…Again, could listen to his music all day! 

There was just one more post for today…

Quote of the day?

“Riddle me this, why did I meet you amongst the garbage?”

Guess who?

Answer will be given soon.

Let’s have some fun!

The Secret World of Arrietty and other fancies.

I am not motivated to do anything right now. Can’t draw, can’t read. I am not even motivated enough to take a nap… So I threw a load of laundry into the washer, grabbed my laptop and now I am sitting on the couch watching a show about these guys who make Beer…And also, I am blogging about recent movies I have seen. 

The Secret World of Arrietty, a Studio Ghibli film. 

I saw this movie for the first time last Thursday, and—I know that I give all their things huge credit, but that’s because they deserve it—I loved it! Shaun reminded me of Haku (Spirited Away) and Arrietty reminded me of Sophie (Howl’s Moving Castle) when she was young. I have yet to watch it in its original Japanese, but I have to say, the English voices worked. I was very much surprised at that. Not because I doubt Disney’s ability to find awesome voice actors, I mean, casting Christian Bale as Howl was probably the best thing they ever did...It’s just, I knew Bridgit Mendler and David Henrie from Disney Channel; Bridget being from Good Luck Charlie, and David being from Wizards of Waverly Place. Honestly I liked Wizards, but not so much GLC…

Anyway, I kind of went off a cliff there, I’m going to get back to my original thought.

Henrie did a great job. I loved it. Honestly. Shaun is this sickly young boy and he captured that perfectly. At the end of the movie, I am almost in tears because I feel so bad for Shaun. But that is the point of movies right? Each movie gives you a different emotional experience…He was just so so sad. And we love him. It was a true "awwwwww" moment when he gave her the sugar cube back.

Mendler, now, the first words that came out of her mouth, well I would have done them differently. But throughout the movie, you became comfortable with it, and it worked very well for Arrietty.

Carol Burnett and Moises Arias were in this movie as well. It was obvious, from the first word that Carol’s character said, that it was her. And Moises, well he had maybe, one or two lines. But he still did a good job. Will Arnett,and all the other voice actors did an awesome job as well. I only mentioned the ones that I was familiar with and their work. But, that only means that I know them. It has nothing to do with how well everyone else did. They all did an awesome job!

The animation, I won’t have to rave on about because I already have—a couple times I think. They never seem to let me down. Haha. I believe that some of the artists are trained in Oil Panting…I learned this when reading The Art of Spirited Away. I just loved it all. All of it. ~sigh~

Tonight I am going to watch Ponyo. I had seen this, back in 2009 I think it was…But that is another post…

Oh, I also wanted to wish my brother a HAPPY BIRHTDAY! He got a hamster for his birthday—below.

I call the hammy “Doughy” but I guess the name that he is thinking about Bonzu Pippinpaddle-Oppsokopolis…The name Aang used when he went to Omashu. 

Now I am tired. Maybe I will take a nap now...

Until later,

Natsu

Ho Hey...♥

Well. my new-found favorite pop song as of...hmm..yesterday, is called Ho Hey by the Lumineers. And it is AWESOME!!

This should do it.Hope the video works!

That's about it, except, I did go to the Library today and got enough Howl's Moving Castle related things to last me at least a week. Audiobooks, the movie, the art of the movie...Things like that.  And oddly enough, I came home with a brand new printer as well. Now I can...♫PRINT THINGS!!!♪ YAY!!!!!

Oh, and I had gone to a pet store too. Dwarf Hamsters are the best. thing. ever.

♫NATSU!!!!♫ 

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.

Howl’s moving castle review, you can find that here: http://camobaginside.blogspot.com/2012/08/howls-moving-castle-my-new-obsession_2129.html

 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! ^^
