Battlestar Galactica Board Game

January 23

Today was a sad and eventful day at work. We watched a documentary on pixar and some of us stayed back to play the Battlestar Galactica board game. I didn’t know how to play at first but then it ended up really fun! Unfortunately I was a human throughout the whole game and when I finally got to be a cylon I had to go!

Hottest Faces of Battlestar Galactica

December 27

That show may as well be classified as soft porn. The hotness of the actors isn’t really why I like it so much; besides, the hot female actors don’t do anything for me. But it’s worth mentioning that there are definitely some sexy people aboard Galactica!

1) Lee “Apollo” Adama

 

2) Six

 

3) Samuel T. Anders

 

4) Karl “Helo” Agathon

 

5) Anastasia Dualla

Battlestar Galactica is the Awesomest Thing Ever!

December 27

HHRay and I have been watching Battlestar Galactica. It’s something I’ve wanted to watch back in the U.S. on the Sci-Fi channel, but somehow always skipped over it because I couldn’t be bothered or couldn’t get into the storyline.

But holy crap, this show is so good! I’ve had to skip a few episodes to keep up with HHRay, but I’m going to start going back through Season 1 soon. We’re at the end of Season 2 right now. I can’t believe the 4th season is going to be the last one, just when I’m really getting into the series :(:(. And sure, the next series centered around the Battlestar Galactica universe is coming (called Caprica), but that’s all the way in 2010!!!

Lakeview Terrace

December 22

I’m watching Lakeview Terrace, what a creepy film! It’s about a cop who didn’t like his new neighbors – an interracial couple who just moved in next door. The situation quickly progressed from petty arguments to the cop trying to kill the couple! 

Oops, they just shot the cop. Awesome! He was a jerk.

IZ Party Photos

w00t IZ Party photos stolen from Simon. I didn’t want to post people’s faces on here without permission so I replaced them with smiley faces.

Broken Cuddle Action

July 17

HHRay and I went to see The Dark Knight last night. It was so good. Heath Ledger was completely amazing (to tell you the truth I only really wanted to see it for Heath Ledger, but I ended up liking pretty much everything about the movie!). I don’t want to give out any spoilers so I’ll just say – go see it. As soon as possible.

On a different note – when I spend the night at HHRay’s house, my morning routine consists of:

1) Alarm rings at 7:10am. Semi wake up and snooze with cuddles until 7:25am.
2) Get up at 7:25am, get ready for work
3) Climb back into bed at 7:45am to get last-minute cuddles and sleep
4) Wake up HHRay at 8:16am to go to the train station and catch the train to work.

Today step number 3 went all wrong. So I climb into bed, ready for my customary pre-work cuddles. And find an impostor. That’s right, I find HHRay cuddling a pillow in my place. I don’t want to wake him up because he has to get up early as it is – 8:16 to drive me to the train station. So I try to wiggle the pillow from under his arm, but he’s got a grip of steel on the thing.

Eventually giving up, I curl up on the other side of the pillow and sprawl one leg on top of him under the covers to at least get some sort of cuddle-action.

When HHRay woke up and I told him about what happened while he was happily snoozing with his pillow, he laughed and told me that I should’ve woken him up :(.

Death Note in Cinemas

May 18

UnknownA few days ago my boyfriend and I stumbled across a manga on TV that we hadn’t seen before, called Death Note. Unfortunately we didn’t really get to watch it as HHRay needed to get to work. Then, later that day, I hear that a movie by the same name is meant to come out on May 20th – for only two nights. And the movie doesn’t have a rating (so it is advised that people treat it as an R rating).

I was intrigued – an unrated movie in select cinemas in the U.S., running for only 2 days, at 7:30pm. Apparently DeathNote is about a man (known as “Light”) who finds a notebook full of names which belonged to a Death god. People whose names are written in the book die and Light takes it upon himself to rid the world of evil using this notebook. However, as criminals begin mysteriously dying, a detective is sent to investigate these new murders, which Light is behind.

If I had a special power of some sort I probably wouldn’t like for it to be in the form of a notebook which I can use to kill people, I just couldn’t handle it! I’ll go the cliche route and choose to become invisible instead – then my dreams of spying on people in the shower will finally come true :P

Anyway, the film is showing only in the U.S. and tickets can be purchased from the NCM Fathom web site. Hopefully the movie will come out on DVD so we can enjoy it in Australia, too.

Jesse McCartney’s Kiddy Image

May 13

Jesse McCartney’s new music video – Leavin’ definitely startled me the first time I saw it. Little Jesse? Is that you? I’m still getting used to the fact that he’s 21 this year! I’m seriously unable to visualize him as anything other than the 15 year old boy whose kiddy music videos would air on the Disney Channel.

This video, shockingly, suggests that little Jesse knows what sex is. I know, I couldn’t believe it, either :S. Nevertheless, it’s growing on me…in a kiddy porn sort of way.

The Moment of Truth

March 11

There’s a fairly new show out there called The Moment of Truth. Each participant takes a lie detector test before the show, answering lots of different questions. To win money, all the participant has to do is answer these same questions truthfully in front of thousands of people. From my understanding of it, the participant does not know which questions will be asked, nor how many of them will be asked, and the questions get more dangerous and personal as they climb up the money ladder. Here’s what happened to one participant who just didn’t want to quit. I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say that her marriage is officially ruined.

Duracell Bunny

March 6

Do you know what’s been bugging me the most lately? People saying ‘Energizer Bunny’.

“She’s hyperactive like an Energizer bunny.
“I was a fricking Energizer bunny.”
“The Energizer bunny’s got nothing on you!”

ENERGIZER DOES NOT HAVE A FRICKIN BUNNY. DURACELL has the bunny.

Wait, wait, scratch all of the above. I just looked it up (thankfully, before posting this and sounding really stupid). Energizer does have a bunny, but not in Europe or Australia – in these places, Duracell has the bunny.

So I guess what’s bugging me now is the confusion, as well as wondering why the heck people in Australia still say ‘Energizer Bunny’ when Energizer ads do not feature a bunny. Why not give credit where credit is due and call it a Duracell Bunny? After all, the Energizer bunny was a parody of Duracell in the first place.

I’ll stick by you, Duracell; I’ll stick by you and your bunnies.
