It's the chaotic_sins show! With our very special guest, LQ herself!

"And now you're home! Bow to your partner. Bow to the gent across the hall. And that is all!" ^_^


Ahh, now to more merriment. First of all, hey, who's hungry already for Thanksgiving?! I absolutely am. I can't wait for the red cabbage--yes, Lisa, boiled. ^___^ Boiled for hours in vinegar and sugar. Smothered in mushroom sauce. Do you see me shiver in anticip...

...pation? Ummmmm. So yum.

And speaking of "yum," minrho, last night I watched X2, the new X Men movie. Well! A few thoughts on that one in general, but first, I have to say this: Hugh Jackman (or Huge Ackman as my Mom calls him--and I guess now Min and I do, too, ;D ) is just about one of the most physically gorgeous people you'll ever see. He's got this odd mix of a polite, refined, boyish face (yeah, even as Wolverine,) but he's absolutely buff. He really is huge. How about that scene where he's tearing through the school, absolutely laying waste to the invaders?! Just ripping them to shreds in this murderously protective frenzy! Man. Had a little estrogen overload watching this movie; I might have a false pregnancy now. ;) Wow. Wowie wow wow wow.

So anyway, the movie. Yeah, it was fun! Some things I wanted to remember:

The use of Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem mass. That's got to be one of my favorite pieces of music ever (ever, ever, ever,) and I was a little startled to hear it used at all, never mind during Nightcrawler's big scene. Sometimes in a movie it adds a hell of a touch, but it seemed out of place here. Not that the song is sacrosanct to me in any way...Well, maybe only a little, but again, I have heard it used to great effect in the past. It's just that it didn't seem to work here.

Some parts of the movie were unintentionally funny for me, for instance when Wolverine is wandering through the icy woods, I kept thinking that he was going to pee on a tree or something. That gave me a giggle. Also, whenever they showed Magneto in his plastic chamber with the classical music playing, and especially when the guard with the nightstick paid him a visit, I just kept thinking, "Hello, Clarice...." And, in the scene where the cat licks Wolverine's claws, and you can clearly see that they're rubber. *Snick*

(Also, I should add, Min, there's a scene where he comes running nakie down the hall, backlit. Well, he's not really nakie. You can see that he's wearing black underwear. I watched it over and over again, frame by frame on the DVD, so I can say this for certain. ^_^;; Ah, well. Still a good scene, though.)

Logan's a little bit Cloud Strife in this. Now, I'm totally unfamiliar with the original comic, so I don't know if he was like that before the movies came out, but I would also point out that in FFVIII, you need the metal "Adamantine" in order to upgrade one of Squall's gunblades. (Final Fantasy borrows an awful lot, like all the Mythril in FFVII, for instance. :) )

Anyway, some final thoughts:

Marvel Comics Wolverine

Huge Ackman as Wolverine

Huge Ackman, not as Wolverine

A real wolverine

My dog Sano, who looks like a real wolverine sometimes (And pictures of Trisky, too, who just looks like The Queen Of The World.)

Some guy playing at being Wolverine. I guess.


So, yeah. Thanksgiving is tomorrow. ^_^ Red cabbage and pan-fried stuffing and mushroom sauce and sweet potatos. Oh, but work, first, and all, and that's okay, too. ^_^

Awww, so many birds in my yard! Here's Pashli and Ilari right now, poking around by the aviary door! My sweeties from this summer! And Catnip the baby sparrow that had been chewed on, and Hiko the mocker across the street. I hear you, Mr. Crow, also, and I wish you'd come and visit the yard sometimes. (I haven't raised any crows yet, oddly enough. I get the feeling that I will soon, though.)

Speaking of birds, I had this really hilarious dream this morning. It started out with me at a Hula seminar, during a party after class. I was really tired, but still watching people dance, and there were these two cute guys there who were also watching. I was with Matt Damon and we were sitting together because we were friends. I put my head on his lap and said, "There are a lot of cute guys here," and then I started to fall asleep. And he said, "You mean like me?" And I thought, "Hmmm, just like him...is he asking me on a date?" So, I decided to date Matt Damon, and I was happy, because he really is a cute man.

But first, before dating anybody I had to clean the bathroom. So I went into the bathroom (and now it was my parents's bathroom instead of a hotel one,) and I started scrubbing the tiles and the tub and all of this. I wanted it to gleam, otherwise, how will I impress my new date, Matt Damon? So I'm scrubbing the hell out of the tub and shower doors.

Next, my chickens from work come jumping out of the cabinet, and I thought, "I'd better let them have a swim, because it's been a while since they've bathed." I put them all in the tub and started filling it, and I guess that logic must have been kicking me a little, because they turned into seven ducks instead of seven chickens, and they all started swimming around and having a great time. They all had smiles on their faces. To me they looked like turtles, and I called my parents in and said, "Come and look at all the cute little turtles!" So, they came in, and my Mom pointed out that, while one of them looked like a German Shephard, the others looked like bassets or beagles or setters. I looked, and sure enough, they were turtles with dog-like faces, all different breeds, but they were still really cute and happy, splashing around in the tub.

So finally Matt Damon comes in, and my Mom says to him, "wow, look at all of those different breeds. You must have been busy!" As if he'd bred them himself or something! Then he turned it into a joke and said, "Yeah, I was, but my manwhore days are behind me now."

And then my alarm clock went off and I woke up, and I was still laughing at his joke.

How weird, right?

No laila, lawa keia, ae?
