Arabian Nights

... was surprisingly good. Not that I'm saying I didn't enjoy any of the other productions (cough) but this one was very very naice. ^_^
Grats to everyone in the cast, very nicely done. I loved the human props, Aleisha was fantastic, the slicked back hair was very stylish indeed... :) Benjamin looked like a rockstar in his wise man wig and Emerson, the turban was turban me on...
HAH thanks to Liss for that joke... I was laughing for hours after she told me that. :)
anyways. Good work guys, and until next year...
Speaking of next year, why not have the most epic production evar? Say, Pokemon live in concert...

Life choices

Well, my good friend Samantha and I were discussing what sort of tattoos we would get if we were gonna get any at all.
I thought the Hylian crest would be freakin sweet.


Or even a little bit of Elvish script. Always very elegant, but quite common...
Sammie was more inclined to get something a little less... nerdy. She was talking about butterflies and chinese symbols and the like. Possibly song lyrics, if they meant something special.
And then, while roaming over the internet today, I came across this lovely Celtic-style drawing of a wolf.


For many reasons, wolves are one of my favourite animals - I love writing about them, reading about them (Read the books by Jack London, they're fascinating), I love drawing them and I absolutely loved Twilight Princess because of the wolf-situation. One of my favourite movies from my childhood was Balto, and though it isn't necessarily about a wolf, Balto is wolfish and cute so you should all go watch it naooow...
So this is what I'd get if I was going to get anything at all.
I love asking what other people would get because it says a lot about them as a person (especially if it's a tramp stamp) so feel free to add what your ideal tattoo would be so I can analyze you further as a person and perhaps judge you in more ways than one. ^_^
Henceforth, wolves are amazing.

Good excuse for bloggage

Well since Mr. Wong decided to post something on his blog during school hours about important near future events I figure I'd just mention a few other important dates for later this year...

QUEEN'S DAY (aka Koninginnedag)
April 30th
This is like Australia Day, but for Dutch people. Celebrated in the Netherlands every year on this day (or on the 29th, if it's inconveniently on a Saturday...), the Dutch people parade around and wear lots of orange to show their pride in the nation and the royal family. I figure if Ireland is allowed to wear green all day for St. Patrick's day, I can wear orange for Queen's Day, as I am more Dutch than Irish...
Cause if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much...

TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY
September 19th
A pointless holiday, but oh so very fun and lively. Talk like a pirate all day and call your best friends scurvy bilge rats and generally drink lots of grog and shoot wenches and the like. Going to have a Pirates of the Carribean marathon. Shall be hunky dory. Arrrr.

Some other important dates to remember are:
- February 22 - Thinking Day (I missed it... I guess I just wasn't thinking.)
- May 25 - Towel Day :D
- August 13 - Lefthander's Day
- September 13 - International Chocolate Day ^_^
- October 1 - International Music Day !!
- October 29 - Internet Day
- November 21 - Television Day

And for the animal lovers out there...
- March 20 - World Frog Day (missed this one too.)
- April 25 - World Penguin Day
- May 23 - World Turtle Day
- July 16 - World Snake Day
- August 15 - World Lizard Day
- October 1 - International Racoon Appreciation Day
- October 4 - Animal Day (all animals?)

ARGH

Tennis, tennis, tennis...
I realised why nobody ever plays tennis.
Because it's a STUPID, SEXIST, PIECE OF CRAP SPORT THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN.
I'm not blogging any more until something DECENT happens.
Like, for instance, maybe someone buying me a new amp? Or maybe being allowed to have an axolotl? Or maybe being able to just sit down and read a freaking book now and then and maybe go to a party where you're not the only one not getting drunk because your parents think you'll kill all your brain cells and have quadruplets, or maybe finding a cheap shirt that fits every now and then, or understanding a damn word of a stupid chemistry assignment.
In case you hadn't noticed, my weekend could definitely have gone a bit better.
Henceforth, this week better improve or I'm just gonna throw myself off the new Benedict Building.
It needs a christening.

Google This

They're called the Dear Hunter, alternative progressive rock I think is the technical term but I like to call it awesome. :) They're not exactly mainstream (in the least) and they have some weird music (Not as weird as the Mars Volta, but close enough) but they're pretty damn awesome.
Just thought I'd mention it.
Hope they come to Perth sometime before I die.
Henceforth, Dear Hunter are awesome.

Best animated movie evar


How To Train Your Dragon
Oh my Amadeus, what an amazing movie! :D I took my cousins to go see it (it's a good excuse to go see a kid's movie) and Holy Moses it was the best movie I've seen all year! cough, yet... Iron Man II is coming out soon, but this is the best kids movie. :D
I read the book when I was just a youngling and I loved it, and the movie was even better. Toothless is the CUTEST dragon I have ever seen.




I WANT ONE I WANT ONE I WANT ONE!!!

So get your butts down to the cinema, get on those 3D glasses (the same ones they used for Avatar... I really wanted retro ones, but meh) and watch this amazing movie!
Cute AND firebreathing - much like myself.
Henceforth, I want a dragon. Reckon I can buy one online?

Idol Vids

Are up on youtube.
Probably already been on Wong's blog and seen them, but in case you missed it the link is here. Please, watch and enjoy. :D
