Mane attraction

Well, the results of the Lion King poll are in. I'm not surprised. Admittedly we don't really know how Simba's reign goes, unless someone actually watched those sequels. But Mufasa's reign seemed to be a good one. He had that magic touch, where it didn't really seem like he was doing anything at all, except maybe banishing the Hyenas to that gassy place.
Was that Scars error, collaborating with the hyenas. Or was he just a big douche. It's gotta be tough to rule a place when the weather has an opinion on how you're doing.
I imagine this all must be ripped off of some older story. A bit like Hamlet. Where'd Shakespeare rip that off from. Usurpers to the throne will always make good story I suppose.
I want to know when do the antelopes band together with the zebras to form a more representative system of government. Maybe that happened in the sequel. I didn't see it.

Damp Monday

An oldie but a goodie. It rained today. My umbrella is only so effective. So I sat through classes and tutoring with wet feet.

Lazy genius of hard work

So a couple of the polls here on the roblog have been to inquire as to what character in such and so a series that you think you are or that you most relate to. I noticed lately that I ask this with basically every show I watch. But usually I have a hard time picking just one character. Sometimes I can't pick anyone. Like CSI Miami. I am no one. Or I try to tell myself I'm a certain character just because I want to be. I just wish I was like Shikamaru, when really I'm Choji, or more probably Rock Lee. Only lazier. Oh well.

Newt Haiku

So I was looking for an old assignment in my computer and came across this .txt file:

muss hair poor poor child
he's clapped on the ear again
a salamander

movies anymore

Well, I just caught the end of Top Secret on TV. Man that movie was hilarious. They don't make movies like that anymore. Or maybe they do. I don't really see a lot of movies anymore.

Auto tune the Rob.. Ba da dap!

So I frequently have the "autotune the news" theme in my head, which is awesome (thanks sis) and today I was trying to make a conscious effort to talk/sing like that. Needless to say, I couldn't. Oh well.

"He's not coming back"

So Patrick Swayze died. Crazy, all those TPB episodes in-no-way-affiliated will now have a bittersweet irony that i'm just making up. I just saw Point Break for the first time ever this summer. Best movie I ever saw Swayze in. Oh how my life would be different if I'd seen it when I was younger. I mean it's about a gang of surfing bank robbers that gets infiltrated by an undercover cop named 'Johnny Utah'. I'm not making this up. Ok, my life probably wouldn't be any different. But there's lots of trial and tribulation as the lines between friend and foe are blurred in the world of undercover policing. Sure Bodhi is a bank robber and he forced Utah to participate in a botched bank holdup, and he held Utah's girlfriend hostage, but there was... wait... man that guy was a jerk.

Speed rebuff

Oh man. One summer of customer service type work and my non-eyecontact skills have gone down the drain. As I walk to and from school I often get strangers saying hi to me because I obviously didn't look antisocial enough. Then I'm all befuddled and stumble out some greeting. Luckily I've got my bike now so I'm going too fast to have a care in the world.

All fibreglass diet

Well, It's been a summer and I'm back to school now. I've not done much apart from work this summer but that's ok. Superfrugality comes naturally to me now. I'll let you all contemplate nature v. nurture without explanation. I suppose I was not completely an automaton, but did work a bit on an old boat from the cottage. It's still not done though and fall is fast approaching. Oh well. I suppose there comes a time in everyones life where they must learn some hard lessons about fibreglass.
