On Firefly, Serenity, Gollum, and General Fangirling
My semester ended several weeks ago, April 30th, if I remember correctly. I wasn’t really expecting to take summer classes this time since I’ve been studying my ass off since the Summer of 2006 nonstop. And you know what I think about studying. I hate it. I don’t believe in studying. If a person were [...]

Waiting for Fro—Bilbo!
Yeah, I admit, the title is a pretty lame play on Figwit, but the famous web comic Waiting For Frodo has always been great. It had to end, of course, yet hope remains in its newly launched spinoff: Waiting for Bilbo.
I can’t wait to see what happens next! I hope that this is [...]

The good in this world
Frodo Baggins: I can’t do this Sam.
Sam Gamgee: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could [...]

Christmas, Americans, Filipinos, and Famous Authors’ Blogs
I am quite aware that my “Merry Christmas” blog entry is long overdue, so there’s just no use writing about it. Other bloggers have either written about how frustrating the Christmas season’s commercialism is, or how over-the-top “political correctness” is, or how sad or happy their respective Christmas celebrations were.
There is no point to follow [...]

A picture with my ex
Here’s a picture of me and my ex:
/EDIT: I removed it. Apparently, people have been landing on it on Google–much to my embarrassment.
Ok, I’m half-kidding.
I had a hard time inserting my face on Arwen’s body so I just blurred the whole thing. I had a hard time blending in the colors. [...]

Review: Neil Gaiman’s “Mirrormask”
I was finally able to rent Neil Gaiman’s Mirrormask, and I can say that it is definitely a great film!
The whole film experience was very much like reading a graphic novel. The film’s art is reminiscent of illustrations in Gaiman’s earlier works such as The Sandman, and Coraline: dreamy, surreal, and fantastic. Mirrormask is not [...]

NARNIA!!!
I just saw the trailer/teaser for C.S. Lewis‘ The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe on Disney Channel a while ago! [Thank God for CableTV.]
I had goosebumps. And you know what, I’ve NEVER had goosebumps over ANY movie trailer–well since The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King came [...]

Stupid school. Hrrrrgh.
But the worst HELLISH week is yet to come.

Why are they making it so difficult for us? Arrgh…
Damn.
I am in no mood to write… I’ll just link you to Julie’s blog. She wrote something about how frustrating some monsters in school have been acting.
I did a marathon composition a while ago and I [...]

“Kino Das Bang Bang Boom Boom 1970 Gjong-hai Ich Habe Eisen Diese Nacht Willkommen 2004″
Now isn’t such that an awesome way to start my blog entry??? What a cool title!
Now don’t look at me silly.
That was Dominic Monaghan’s weird “talk show” title when he conducted this sort-of… “interview” with Elijah Wood, as shown in the Extended Edition DVD of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King [...]
