Totally Awesome

 GLEE!!!!!

Oh how I've missed the show, the music, the characters  and the guest stars.



Season 2 us set to be bigger and badder with the casting of 3 new cast members!

Pretty boy Chord Overstreet was casted to play Sam, a football player that Finn takes under his wing.



He would eventually become Finn's rival in the Glee Club.

Personally, I don't love nor hate him yet. I have never heard of him but remember seeing him in a few iCarly episodes. Can he sing? I don't know, I can't seem to find his audition......

But Chord is not the biggest news......

Actor-singer-songwriter Darren Criss has landed the much-talked-about new gay role on Glee.

Isn't he dreamy....
Will he have eyes for Kurt? Maybe. Maybe not.

Criss’ character, Blaine—a cute and charismatic gay student from a rival Glee club named the Dalton Academy Warblers—will maintain a strictly platonic friendship with McKinley High’s most out and proud pupil. But could that change as the season progresses?

Series creator Ryan Murphy is keeping his options open.

Ever since Murphy announced that Kurt would be getting a love interest in season 2, speculation about the identity of his suitor has run rampant.

The casting of Overstreet led some to speculate that his quarterback character Sam would play that role, a theory Chris Colfer, Kurt, all but shot down when he said that there’s no sign of romantic tension between Sam and Kurt in the first four episodes.
Jane Lynch, who plays evil cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, however, let slip that Sam and Kurt may have something blooming in the future.....

Back to Darren Criss, he has built quite a Web following as a member of the University of Michigan theater company Team StarKid. The group’s spoof, A Very Potter Musical, went viral in YouTubeland and turned Darren  (who plays the title role Harry) into an Internet star.


To those who haven't watched it yet.... WATCH IT!!!

Unlike Overstreet, I know Darren can sing. Very well. Just look at his audition!




It simply oozes awesomeness and you can see his personality. His EP Human was one of the most downloaded on iTunes and his Disney covers in Youtube are simply melting....

*Cue Fangirl scream" SQUEEEEEEEE!!!

I am so happy for Darren. He totally deserves this role, Team Starkid must be so proud!

I have personally created a FaceBook Page dedicated solely to him here

Please join!!

However, there is 1 more yet-to-be-cast actor. Will he turn out to be Kurt’s BF instead? Speculate away :)

The plot surrounding Kurt’s first boyfriend thickens.......

PS: I have my fingers crossed that the third actor will be Sam Tsui ;P or Nick Pitera

      Penny for my thoughts? Oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar,
           They're worth so much more after I'm a goner;
                 Then maybe then you'll hear the song I've been singing,
                      Funny when you're dead how people start listening...

Scare Tactics

M. Night Shyamalan, I forgive you.

I forgive you for disastrous "The Lady in the Water," boring "The Happening" and this summer's  vomit inducing "The Last Airbender".



You have totally redeemed yourself with "Devil"



The screenplay of “Devil” was penned by Brian Nelson and based on a story by M. Night Shyamalan, a man with a reputation for churning out movies with twist ending after twist ending. But there is enough foreshadowing here (see title) that the resolution isn’t quite the shocker we’ve come to expect.

Pure evil has descended on a high rise in Philadelphia, as five nameless people board an elevator only to find their destination isn’t exactly where they had in mind. This scenario is the plot of “Devil”.


During the film’s upside-down opening, the narrator which we later know as a security officer named Ramirez (Jacob Vargas) who doesn’t appear on screen for almost half an hour, tells of an old story he heard in his childhood. The story repeats itself throughout the ages, always beginning with a suicide, which opens the way for the Devil to appear on Earth and make sure that everything that can go wrong does.



“Devil” begins the same way. Here, the suicide that invites evil in also serves another purpose, bringing Det. Bowden (Chris Messina), a faithless, recovering alcoholic still grieving over the deaths of his wife and young son, to the building where the elevator is stuck.



As chance would have it, the malfunctioning elevator is of the express variety and gets stuck in an area where there is no access. All efforts to get it back online fail. Attempts to open the doors are unsuccessful. All who try to help dies a gruesome death. The passengers — a mechanic, an old woman, a guard, a rich woman and a salesman — are stuck with one another.



As Bowden and Ramirez look on via the elevator’s security camera, things begin to go wrong, pushing the detective to look deeper into the riders’ backgrounds. His investigation reveals that each passenger has his own checkered past, a fact that seems far beyond mere coincidence. Ramirez believes their past deeds and the lies they tell themselves are why they have been brought together. Bad things like this happen for a reason.



The attacks mostly take place when the elevator lights malfunction, so director John Erick Dowdle (“Quarantine”) hides most of the scary action behind a black screen, forcing moviegoers to experience the horror with their ears until the lights come back on. It’s mostly just a bunch of bumping, screaming and grunting, interrupted now and then with an occasional flash of light. Simple, but effective. You will never know who dies until the lights come back and they're dead...



Everyone is a supect in the elevator. You don't really know who is behind the murders, who is the Devil in disguise. This simple fact is good enough to draw you into the story, watching for anything and everything that can give it away. The person you suspect the most might be the next person who dies, making you doubt yourself over and over again. The plot twist in the end was unexpected and spooky...


There really aren’t any egregious acting issues in the movie. Each actor and actress pulls their weight, though no one stands out. But the passable performances mix nicely with an ominous soundtrack of strings and bass instruments and an interesting plot with decent enough execution — a package that delivers an hour and a half of thrills.



This movie is a definite must-watch on anyone's list. Iven and I were hanging on the edge of our seats throughout the entire movie. Our popcorn and waffles just lay there, forgotten. It was just that good!

As of writing it is 52 days,  23 hours, 35 minutes and 20 seconds till Deathly Hollows

My Biology today was, of course, perfection as usual. Even better if you put in that I only had half an hours worth of study. Right before the exam too!

Last minute study works!!

Exam Blues All Over Again, And It's Not Even The Finals!

Hello readers,

The reason I'm writing is cause I need a distraction from one of the worst torture man has ever invented

No, it's not Justin Bieber's appearence in CSI
(Though it ranks a close second.)

Once again, it's the exams. My Trial exam. I heard the SPM students are also sitting for theirs soon. Heck, misery loves company,

Damn


Day 1 is over, Thank You Lord, but that means there's still 4 fucking days of torture left...

Tomorrow is English so I can slack for a while but on Wednesday there's Psychology....... It would be a miracle if I even scrape a pass in that awful forsaken subject with all that gawdawful meaningless dribble, it makes me look forward to Maths, the last subject on Friday......

OH, what I would give for a break. I have a chocolate craving at the mo.

I need 1 000 000 ccs of chocolate. STAT!!


Did I mention that my exams start at 7 freakin' a.m.!!! Yeah, they do.... Apparently SAM students all over the world have to sit for the exam at the same time. So, while it's a comfortable 9.00am for those down under, we have to get up at the crack of dawn in order to beat the jam in order to arrive at the right time!!!!

I totally feel like Calvin now....
Oh, exams, you rob me my freedom, my leisure time and now you rob me of my beauty sleep.

I loathe thee, thou wimpled lily-livered malt-worm! Hence, horrible villain, I'll spurn thine eyes like balls before me; I'll unhair thy head, Thou shalt be whipp'd with wire, and stew'd'in brine, smarting in lingering pickle.

Yes, I truly believe I'm too smart for school.

Exams, you are killing me, my intelligence and my IQ.

Write Like A Shmeyer Day

It's been a while since my last Anti-Twilight post. I guess I seem to have matured and stop beating it to death.

Wait.

NAH!!!!!!

Everyone knows the writing in Twilight is crap. Well, actually it's crappier than crap.

If crap had a kid and the kid had a pet and the pet's kid had a pet, that would be Twilight.
(Ice Age reference!! Whoot!!!)

LOL

Anyway, a bunch of sane people who are tired of the fails in Twatlight have banded together and oppose SMeyer.

In Forks, Washington (you know, the town Bella constantly mocks), September 13th is Shmeyer Day. Why the heck they are celebrating being treated like bunch of rednecks by the main character is beyond my understanding. Unless it's to burn a Shmeyer effigy, that I would like to see :)

Burn shmeyer, BURN!!


Back to the point, us sane people who are tired of all things Twishit, will be celebrating something else on September 13th. *Drum roll* Write like a Shmeyer Day!!!!

Here's the link to the Facebook Page

Created by "No, Twilight is Not Literature, or Quality Entertainment" admin Caitlin Brice, it's the day where you throw all the rules of grammar out the window and write as badly as a four-year-old on a candy high. If you have read Twilote then you should be able to know what to do, but if you haven't then I'll give you a hint: have the vocabulary of an 11-year-old, use big words in the wrong context, use redundency and use, a, lot, of, comas, in, a, sentence.

Here's an example I've been working on.

I saw him running towards me, his feet pounding the ground so loud and ferociously, like a baseball player, pounding a baseball ball. But I couldn't move. I was vacillating to possibilities that he would trip. But he isn't as clumsy, as I am. I stood my ground, my stomach was unsettling -- doing backflips and going head over heels as he came closer and closer. My marble Adonis was suddenly in front of me, his eyes were like melted ocher under the sunlight, and his lashes curled like it has just been permed. I swooned at his awesome breath, which smelled like cinnamon, the good kind. "Stephenie," he muttered. "No," I murmured, "it's Bella, my sweet asparagus," "Why?" He muttered back, glaring at me with those golden eyes intensely. "If others knew that I was writing about my wet dreams then I would never sell another book," I stummered, as I caught sight at his glorious fingernails and my heart stopped beating and was still for a second before it resumed it's constant spluttering.

Ouch.

That hurt my brain.

A. Lot.

To end my blog today, I'll post some Anti-Shmeyer :) Enjoy!




Kill her Light! KILL HER!!!
Wish it was banned everywhere else too...

I'll have Firewhiskey!
