Still hooked. I've watched all episodes, and refrained from watching them again so I can watch them tomorrow.
I want more episodes. I want them now! I think it's like a drug. ><
I love Lie To Me. I really do. It's awesome.

Lie To Me
Lie To Me, that's the title of the new series I'm in love with. So far, only 4 episodes were aired and I've only seen one, but that one I loved.
It was a bit like House, a small bit like Monk and it is all about the human body language.
Well, mostly the body language, but still, it's all about observing how people react. So I'm utterly smitten, in love and just burning to watch the other 3 episodes, and waiting for ep5 in March.
If you like observing people, body language, wording and like a snide, a bit House-ish main characters, you might want to check this out.
Anyway, I've only watched ep2, so that's what I enjoyed so much at the moment, but... given enough time, I'll be excited about all of them.

Ooops, I did it again
I decided to take this test again. I wonder if anything changed ever since.

Red Sauce on Pasta!
*cough* I mean This is Sparta!
I mean I've watched 300. Finally.
My impression: lots of reds and blues and browns. Whoa, bondage muscle-men with capes on...
Fast forward and slow motion scenes...
Lots of American emotional crap...
And hey, where the hell were the Spartan war-buddies fucking? (Sorry, I mean the well-known Spartan pederasty.) I mean that was a pretty well-known fact... a fact Americans omitted for half-naked girls dancing in delirium... and instead made the Spartans joke about Athens and boy-lovers... yeah right, idiots...
The oracle woman with the floating dress was any male's fantasy and... uh...
Hey, at least they used "Come back with your shield or on it." expression.
But otherwise... I think the guy who dreamed up and made the movie read only the cliff notes and had forgot to do his homework because boy... this is utterly stupid and just plain yuck.
This is NOT Sparta. This is indeed Madness. *sigh*
Now about the fighting scenes:
The Persians are obviously the bad guys, so they look like monsters, creeps and rabid gay men with freakish accessories. Why does Xerxes remind me of Aphophis of Stargate? Hmmm... well, you tell me.
Seriously, whoever decided on Xerxes' look... was definitely into pierced androgynous men. Sad, because I can't imagine the guy looking like that. I'm pretty sure he didn't look that freakshow-y, or made such loud clangy noises from all that assorted jewelry when moving. No, I don't think Xerxes would be into accessorizing quite that much. Ick.
Yay, rhino! Awww, cute! Awww, dead by one spear and one thrown spear alone. Like... hell.
More freaks. More monstrous creatures on, of course, the Persian side.
Xerxes is shown as someone icky and inhuman and stooopid. Like... killing his own generals because he's annyoed. Hmm. Why is it that only the good guys can be nice and understanding and mushy, even if said good guys are frikkin Spartans, who are the less mushy nation I can remember? *sigh*
Oh lookie, elephants! Oh lookie... poor things falling off cliffs because uh... just because.
And what the hell is with the little tight underwear of Spartans and no frikkin armor? Was this made for rabid females with muscle fetish or something? And seriously... do Spartans carry oils tucked in their underwear or something to oil their muscles between fights to stay so shiny? Eugh!
Oh, lookie, lots of head choppings. Lots. I mean it... In slow motion no less. Ick.
Why am I not surprised that the freak, the poor Spartan reject betrays them in the end? Predictable Hollywood crap.
Nope... I didn't like this.
The single most stupid line in the movie ever:
Leonidas: "For tonight we dine in hell!"
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't know why, you are a disgrace.
(Yup, hell was invented by Christians. Greek underworld is Hades. Congrats, American idiots. We never forget.)
And last but not least: the visuals of the wheat fields strongly reminded me of Gladiator, but when Lisa Gerrard's Now We Are Free started playing at the end of 300 (Gladiator Soundtrack) it made me laugh. Recycled look and soundtrack. Figures.
But hey, I like Lisa Gerrard's songs so for that they are forgiven... but it's still funny.

Potter naked... again
Ok, so... this convo we had with my friend... it was totally pointless.
It started with me photoshoping a picture for cheap laughs... But plenty. It was funny. We remarked that said guy who lost his pants had a "sumaru dikku", and my friend mentioned that Potter's was bigger.
I said if Potter's was bigger, I'm giving up on said guy.
But I didn't have Potter's nudie picture, so I had to google it up, and trust me, there are many without his dikku, so it took a while.
And while we were at it, my friend saw a newer picture... I guess even Potter has changed since he didn't have to perform in books in the spotlight....
So here it is, the new... *cough* improved Potter.

Meet Manó


Meet Manó, my adorable new chinchilla.
(Manó means... well, a list of things, like imp, elf, elfin, kobold, etc. Technically, I'd say manó is a small, cute woodland creature with an upturned nose and a mischievous character. Sort of like a leprechaun, only beardless.)
Her likes so far are: zooming around in her cage, chewing food, eating everything I feed her, jumping out in my hands and jumping back, climbing up on her cage and snuggling up in the new wooden house I got her.
Anyway, Manó wasn't my pick, she had been named by the owner of her family. I wanted to name her Loki or Ratatoskr, but then again, Manó suits her fine.
She's very curious, enthusiastic and quick. Also fluffy. So far, she's a young baby, so I hope I can train her to sit still on my shouler as Merlin did. She (so far) seems to be intelligent. We shall see if she carries on like this. ^^
Oh and by the way, one of her parents is a standard gray, the other a black velvet, so she is a darker gray with a very slight black stripe down her spine.
Repeat after me: awwwww!

Eye Of The Tiger
I laughed so hard I cried at this one.
And no, I'm not a die-hard Supernatural fan. I'm not even a fan of the main characters. I liked the nerd, who burned down in season one, and the mindreader ("these are not the droids you're looking for"), who was gutted also in season one.
Now I like the grumpy angel, Castiel. He's sort of cute, although I usually like guys from the other side, as they have cookies... (Although I have been known to drool over Chris Walker's Gabriel. That angel was... pretty nice to observe.)
But if I had to pick one from the brothers... I'd pick Dean. He's a dick and sometimes I have the urge to throttle him or kick him squarely in the jewels, but Sam'd drive me mad in minutes with all that angst and emo crap, which is much worse. *shrug*
Still... this was hilarious.

one of my fave quotes from American Gods
The raven cawed from the edge of the clearing.
“You want me to follow you?” asked Shadow. “Or has Timmy fallen down another well?” The bird cawed again, impatiently. Shadow started walking toward it. It waited until he was close, then flapped heavily into another tree, heading somewhat to the left of the way Shadow had originally been going.
“Hey,” said Shadow. “Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are.”
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.
“Say ‘Nevermore,’ “ said Shadow.
“Fuck you,” said the raven. It said nothing else as they went through the woodland together.
/American Gods - Neil Gaiman/
