Perfume – The Story of a Murderer

Rarely do I see a movie I hate. I can sit through most movies tolerantly but this one really made me feel psychologically disturbed – not in a good way either. In a way I almost prefer the Silent Hill movie to this, despite the fact that SH was MUCH more gory.

Perfume is a movie made by Europeans. It also has Dustin Hoffman and Alan Rickman. The acting wasn’t good at all.

After the first scene in which  the attempted suffoctation of a baby occurs, I kept thinking to myself ‘It’s just the weirdness of Europeans. Just get over the muffled screams and go along. At least it didn’t die.’ So I watched it all. I really wished I hadn’t.

Basically it was just nipples, orgies, cannibalism, death and bad acting and dialogue. The lead was cute, but that was pretty much this movie’s only redeeming aspect.

Anyway, gtg. Going to the Opera to see the Mikado.

Tit-willow, tit-willow!

OMG New Post!

Liek ttly.

I haven’t updated in ages. Mainly because it’s Christmas and I’ve had lots of other things to deal with.

Here’s a quick run down on what’s happened since last I posted.

- Cut my hair ridiculously short.

- Been set on fire and ritualistically thrown off a building to appease elder Gods for an internet audio series (I totally got credited for it).

- My grandad is dying of brain cancer (We aren’t close, but he’s still a very nice man, and I wish I could have known him better).

- I have two new nephews, Saxon and Jackson (different parents).

- I’m building a boardgame that promotes organised crime, murder and the illegal aquisition and sale of liquor. It’ll be for all ages ^-^

That’s about it really. Trying to get more into art again and get better, but it’s hard at the moment. So much stuff going on. In January I will have 6 people living in this house. Cramped much.

Tomorrow is a special day for me in a totally sad, hopeless way. I’m not telling anyone why, I’m not even writing it down. It’s just a special day for me. Has been for a while.

Have a very scary solstice.

- Charlie.

Thoughts on a Controversial Topic

Polygamy. Does the word make your gut churn with distaste? Perhaps. I’ve been thinking hard about this topic for several months now and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t think it’s all that bad.

Before I get mobbed by angry romantics, let me state my reasons.

1. Children. Do you know how exhausting it is to raise a child on one’s own, without the aid of daycare? Not to mention having to clean the house at the same time. By the end of the day you’re exhausted, and you go to sleep only to be woken up at 5.30 by a swan-diving toddler.

2. Housework. I hate it. Some women don’t mind it. I say, let them do it. I’d rather cook dinner. As they say, many hands make light work.

3. Sex. What about those nights you don’t feel like it? Lump him off on another wife.

4. Love. I believe that anyone can fall in love with anyone. I don’t believe in “soul-mates”. I do believe in people who you immediately click with, or who you become extremely attracted to. Also, there would be less lonely women. I know it’s sexist to say such a thing, but in some cases it is a fact that some women are desperate for companionship. I know several myself. I am probably one of them. It’s not about sex either. More about wanting someone to, dare I say it, look after me financially. I would rather stay at home with my children than work all day away from them, because that’s the sort of woman I am.  Before you judge me (which, by now, you most certainly will have), let me just say that I do believe in the importance of achieving a high-level of education and working hard, and I am not criticizing those mothers who do work all day with their children in daycare. I admire them very much. I know that they love their children, and want to be with them, but unfortunately in this day and age, with prices increasing at a rate faster than wages, it is becoming fiscally unfeasible for a family to survive on one parent’s earnings alone.

A thought has just occurred to me. If you are the wife of a polygamist, does that mean his other wife/wives are your wife/wives too? Hmm …

Also, I don’t believe in cold-hearted polygamy where woman are obtained like cattle to breed. I think it should be more like “I love my wife and this woman, and I think they would get on well together.” Yes, I believe you can love two people at once.

And, if I were in a polygamist marriage, my husband would have to be hawt.

OMGee I’m so twisted.

Tell me someone normal agrees with me, and that I’m not suffering from mental illness.

It’s Been So Freakin’ Long

Howdy y’all.  Just popping by to say that I have another nephew now.

Aaaand I am working on a novel but it keeps changing on me. Damn it.

Listening to lots of podcasts and stuff.

I cannot think of anything else to say. My mind is fried. I think it may be because I don’t get enough vitamins or something. Or maybe my job is making me dumb.

I applied for a job at my local library. I really hope I get it. Lots of money and work and stimulating activity. <3

Drawing too. I created 5 new characters and an idea for a webcomic strip called “Vamps” and guess what it’s about?

Gah.

Later.

Hot Fuzz

 I want to tell everyone about my new favourite movie.  The casting was perfect,  the script was hilarious, the plot was tight and the directing top-notch.

 I have to say, I haven’t laughed this hard in a movie since Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  Seriously.

 You will love this movie if you love:

• Shaun of the Dead
• Lethal Weapon 1,2,3 and 4
• Die Hard series
• Unflinchingly gory death scenes
• Cop movies

Go and see it. It’s on DVD. Now.

 

Kindred

Have you ever met someone and known – instantly – that they were the same as you? Not in any physical sense, but more of an emotional or psychological sense? I refrain from saying spiritual, because there’s nothing spiritual about finding out that the other person loves video games as much (if not more so) than you. Anyway, have you ever met a kindred spirit?

It’s a weird sort of feeling, but it’s one monst geeks tend to share with one another. You see a person and you can tell straight away whether or not they enjoy Monty Python. I’m explaining this all wrong. It’s not a direct knowledge, but more of a sixth sense – an awareness.

It’s wonderful having someone to talk to about the things I love.

On another note, I’ve been having an odd feeling lately. While I’m daydreaming at work (which happens more often than I care to admit), I often think of marriage, or a partner-ship with someone. Someone I can hug and kiss and talk to and play video games with. A lovely fantasy, I know.

But, then I begin to think of dating, and my guts lurch and twist in knots. The thought of someone being attracted to me sickens me. I don’t want to go through the Wringer. I’d like to be assigned someone, please. Hold an omiai for me.

I would like to take this time to thank David Tennant’s eyebrows for their recent performance in the Doctor Who episiode “The Shakespeare Code” which just aired on Australian TV. Thank you.

EDIT: Aaaaand because I have nothing to do on a Saturday night, I made the following gif. All photos are from DrWhoDaily.com.

Join the Empire, Rebel Scum

Weird things lately.

Two people at work have the same name as major characters from my stories. Not even common names like Alice or something, but the really obscure ones. I can’t tell you their names, because of privacy and such, but, I mean, wow. It’s kinda cool. Actually my password at work is the name of one of my characters, and just last week, a guy with the same name started training on the register next to me. It felt kinda weird.

Aaaand … I’ve joined the dark side. Yes, I have seen the light of the Empire. Thank you TD-0013. I’m gonna get some Darth Vader PJs off eBay.

ANNNND my art is on the cover of a book. In France. Check this out! I’m getting some copies soon, purely for bragging, as I cannot read French.

WOOOHOOO!

*ahem*

Yeah.

Dream Guy

I’ve had to wait 11 hours to blog this, since I’ve been at work all day.

I’ve met my dream guy. In my dreams.

I was in this fantasy world, next to a campfire beside a castle with another girl. She was a princess. For some reason we had chocolate. A group of men came toward us out of the darkness. They were slaves (?) who were left in our care while their master went up to the castle. We (Princess-girl and I) invited them to have some chocolate with us. I, thinking to bless these poor fantasy-world inhabitants with the gift of chocolate, offered a bar to the man next to me. He had brown eyes and short, dark, wavy hair. He took it, and tried to eat it wrapper and all. I took it back and peeled it for him, then he put his arm around me and held me close as he ate his chocolate. My forehead rested around where his ear was, and I could see him eating the chocolate.

Sitting there, with his arm holding me close, I felt so … well, I can’t really describe it in one word. Safe, loved, comfortable – all these and more.

Then we were running across fields, away from the castle, trying to find a place to hide, but nowhere was good enough. We were running for our lives.

And then the alarm went off and I grumbled as I got out of bed to get to work.

Anyway, I’ve been fantasizing about this guy all day. Lovable, huggable and affectionate. Not really sexy, but always willing to hug.

I really had to get this down somewhere.

On another note, work is good, but I have to wait ages to get paid. I’m doing Stationery on weekends and checkout-chicking on weekdays.

My feet are KILLING me.

It feels like 8.30, but it’s only 6.30

Blackbird Birth

Webcomic now up and running. I even bought it a domain name. My first domain name. Ever. Cool.

It’s http://www.blackbirdcomic.com

I wanted Blackbird.com, but someone beat me to it.

Anyway, head over and look around. I’ve only got one page uploaded at the moment, with another coming up on Friday, but there’s other stuff, like soundtrack and links. I like it.

The entire site was done by me, and therefore has no fancy php stuff. I wish I knew how to do all that, but it just would have taken up too much time. I have other things to do.

First day of real work tomorrow. Scared.
