zaichikarkyMrrrr I want to go to NY with Chaos now so I could see Rent again XD! I really wanted to see the movie version while I was still down here but here it looks like it's playing in one theater far away like twice a day... BUTT tomorrow, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is out! ahhh! I'm so excited about teh gay humpity movie. I'm dragging Justin to see it , probably not tomorrow because he all of a sudden decided he's going to work, but I guess the day after tomorrow? *cri*. Man only faggots singing about being faggots are better than cowboy faggots. And I say this with the obvious most reverent tone! Lalaaa gay cowboys!!!!
I've been going crazy right now listening to rent music instead of backing up my files so that Justin can purge my computer. That's not working out all that well cause my cd rom is busted and I really am not even sure if it will take the bootleg windoze CD he has. What's good is that actually my laptop can write CDS... but it makes this really baaad clanking sound which I ignore most of the time... uh I guess that's what's wrong with it? Anyway, Justin says that my warranty can get me a new one. I have no idea where my warranty is, or if Compaq tech support will send me a new drive by just my serial number, but I guess now he's going to be on the other side of the phone. haha. So in the mean time we've been buring CDs and I find it tedious now that I'm down to just my saikano series, since the rest of my videos other than my porn got wiped out by my ext external drive, and program installs. I can't freaken find where the bookmarks for IE and firefox are and looked for them for like half an hour :|. Wouldn't C-->program files--->Mozilla firefox--->bookmarks be a natural place for them to be? NO, they are not there! How dumb I can't find them ;_;. I suck and am probabaly going to lose my bookmarks AGAIN.
saikano spoilers
BTW speaking of Saikano, while Justin was SLEEPING for like 5 hours the other day, James(brother) and I were watching saikano ^_^. We got about halfway through it and it's only a 13 ep series. I'd reccomend it if you're a big fan of shojo and fluff, so I'm sure Stephan would enjoy it. I get awfully tired of the little girl crying though. She does it at least 3 times per episode. it's like ,if you're going to keep destroying the enemies of the world, stop crying about it every chance you get! At least her bf ONLY cries about once every two episodes! It's annoying. She's supposed to be a strong female lead, but instead of course falls into the typical little shojo,cutesy, shy girl role while her best(tomboy of course) friend gets slapped around by her boyfriend... and while he's sleeping around with this 30 year old lady... he did it for the first time when he was in Junior High. *gasp*. *just stuck in that spoiler warning, haha* Isn't the boyfriend great? XD
Now Monkey Dong spoilers
Me, Justin, and a couple of his friends went and saw it on opening day at midnight. I must say that the experience of it for me was more fun than the movie itself. First of all, his friend Jeewan when buying his ticket said "One for Donkey Kong", and they were talking about how it'd make a better movie XD. I really think it would! And of course I'm biased being that the ape with the red tie was the one who actually got me into video games in the first place! But it'd be so cool to have a DK movie. Of course disregarding all that tv show crap about 7 years ago! Guh I didn't like it even as a kid.
I just don't understand King Kong. I didn't like a lot of things about it. First of all, of course Jack Black was terribly cast in it. Why did Peter Jackson put Jack Black into King Kong? I don't know, I could never figure it out. It's not only his reputation for stupid movies, really. When I saw "Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind" I didn't think about Jim Carry in Ace Ventura, he played his character so well! Also in "Shallow Hal" Jack Black had some pretty serious moments and it was all believable to me. I don't know, he just didn't fit for the role. Jeewan described it best by saying "it just felt like he was acting, that was it". Because it didn't feel like a genuine character , just fake.
Second of all, they should have spent far less time on that stupid Skull Island running after Monkey Dong and him snapping the jaws off those dinosaurs. Pretty much everything about skull island was stupid. I thought the dinosaurs were dumb and the giant crickets eating at the peoples' faces was dumb too. Not to mention that the movie was OVER 3 hours. And I think only half an hour of it was spent with him trashing the city. wtf.
The only thing that I enjoyed was the relationship between Kong Kong and the pretty little damsel. They had some real chemistry going on there and I'm sure that if she hadn't been rescued, the big ape wouldn't be the last of his kind anymore. But I really liked the cute scenes they had in there with them looking at pretty scenery.
I don't feel like griping anymore. Pretty much, King Kong was a boy movie that I just didn't get and don't really want to either 0_o. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to "The Hobbit" a lot more ^_^.
What I've been doing!
We went to this awwwsome outdoor naturey thingy pretty close to where he lives called "Butterfly World". A year and a half ago when I was down here for a month I told him I wanted to go there and EVERY TIME AFTER THAT I told him I wanted to go there and finally we did! Yaaay! It was so cool. You get to be in this butterfly garden and see all sorts of little butterflies flying all around you! they can like, land on your nose if they wanted to XD! I kinda wished I was really sweaty cause I heard some butterflies really like to lick salty sweat :p. None of them landed on me though, but they were just so cute! When they were sitting around perched with their wings I just wanted grab them and pet their little abdomens :3. Of course that would KILL THEM so... I didn't! But there was also this bird area, independent of the butterflies of course, with lots of humming birds. And there was another enclosed area where these pretty birdies ,with ugly bushy tongues I was freaked out about,called Lorikeets -
were flying around in and people could walk in there and they would grab on to you and mess around with you ^_^. They really liked Justin's backpack because of the various little loops they could stick their talons and beaks in. I think you had to pay to get a picture in there, and there was always a worker in their enclosure. I liked petting them a bit more than having them climb on me, but every time I tried petting them, they would bite me! They were probably just trying to use my finger to grab onto but it huuuurt... and I kept doing it too XD.Or maybe they just hated me ;_;!
He also bought me the guide book and here are some cool facts from it:
Butterfly vs Moth
-butterflies rest with their wings folded , above the body, perpendicular to the ground. Moths usually rest with their winds folded along their body
-most butterfly have antennae which are clubbed at the end, whereas the antennae of a moth are pointed or feathered
-butterflies are solar-powered, moths are noctural
-butterfly caterpillars are extremely fussy about which plant they feed on. Moth caterpillars will generally eat a variety of plants
general facts about the aviary/butterflies
-a minimum of 3000 butterflies are on display, but often there are lots more. because it's in southern florida, there is no seasonal changes
-about 150 different species over the course of a year, 50 different species at one time
-butterflies live about 7 days in the wild and 14 days in the aviary(looks like they must constantly be in a state of cleaning out dead butterflies XD). however, species such as the zebra butterfly can live up to 10 months, and some that vary their diets to include sung carrion(what's taht?), fruit, etc can live for longer
-most feed on nectar, but some also on rotten fruits. (We would see these stands filled with sliced open bananas and watch the little flutter-bys feeding on them with their enormous tongues ^_^)
Apparently they are having some concert on Friday! Omg I want to go back! heehee. I forgot to bring the card of my camera so we took pics with Justin's worse camera. Hopefully I can get some of those pics up : ).
After that we went to this indoor flea market which was fun... but we got there an hour before closing. That day was busy ^_^. Of course we really didn't do anything much at all other than that Tuesday XD.
He's bought me lots of nice things including Fire Emblem...7(I think)!! and this huge freaken box of chocolates... really bad for a chocoholic :| and more chocolates and this awsome Butterfly World shirt ^_^!
wheee I wrote a lot. time to play gameeez/burn stuff/listen to rent music/read/sleepz!
