Pirates of the Caribbean
I hesitate to call it bad. It's Pirates of the Caribbean after all. The most epic and beloved Pirate franchise in years, maybe ever.
But I wouldn't exactly call it good either.
They have lost Elisabeth and Will and the gays, and the movies are better for it. They all outstayed their welcome by at least one movie.
The new female lead, 'cos you know, pirate movies has to have cleavage, is played by Penélope Cruz, and they could have spared themselves that. She is not a good actress. And I wonder: She is supposed to play a Spanish lady, but how come, the angrier she gets, the clearer and better her English becomes?
The only characters that are left from the previous movies are the Captain himself, Barbossa and Gibbs. Which in my opinion was an excellent casting decision. In my opinion they were the only truly enjoyable characters from the previous movies. Except, of course, Tia Dalma, who was a positively fascinating character. (Who the screwed up royally. She was way more fun when she wasn't a crab goddess.)
The new characters, like Blackbeard, was kinda bland mostly. Except from Angelica, who I really didn't believe for a second, and was just bad. Philip was weird, Syrena was odd, the Spaniards didn't not become an exciting twist. They were just really... I don't know. Not interesting at all.
Scrum was really cool, and the kid was cool, but to have a movie rest on the secondary supporting cast is really disappointing.
The character development fell into: sloppy and lazy, non-existing, or WTF? I am seriously supposed to believe that?
Barbossa was awesome though, and I really believed his motivations when he told them to us, and all the out of character stuff he had been doing up until that point suddenly became in character after all.
The Captain thou, I didn't believe his motivations even a little, and his actions in the end made me believe them even less. Even if he had an extreme Jack Sparrow moment at the end of the climax, he disappointed me royally in the one.
Oh, and Keith Richards has a cameo. Which was fun.^^,
The camerawork was awful. Dreadful. No doubt the cover the fact that the stuntmen weren't any good at sword fighting.
Do not watch it in 3D. Small details were cool in 3D, like ashes and other things flying on the wind, but the way the camera seem to be thrown from one cameraman to the next during action scenes made my dizzy. In a lot of places the 3D adaptation split, especially on scenes where things were going on at the edges of the screen.
The plot was really bad. It was an excuse for milking more money out of the PotC cow.
To give an example. Blackbeard is recruiting sailors by having his daughter, a former corruptee of Jack, play drag in Jack Sparrows clothes, making everyone believe they are signing up to be on his ship.
Why?
The motivation for doing it this way is never explained.
Maybe it is because they needed Jack to get to their destination (the Fountain of Youth), 'cos they don't know the way. Ehm... Wot?
He is abducted several times to make him tell people where it is.
But, twist of twists: There is a ritual. Which Sparrow didn't even know about?!
And then, when the ritual involves murder, then he don't want to? Ehm...? Again: what? He is a bad man. I am pretty sure he has killed in the past. More than once.
The writing was poor. Nothing more to say.
Well, it was entertaining anyway. And I have long since stopped expecting any much in the way of quality from Disney live action. The first one, as is often the case with firsts, was amazing, and nothing since as even come close. But that is the way it is. You don't go to see Johnny Depp movies to see high drama or Oscar performances, you go to have fun. It's not that he can't, I need only mention Chocolate or Edward Scissorhands. The thing about Depp is that he thoroughly enjoys playing quirky and completely mad, and he is really really good at it, and that is one of the reasons we love him so much. He is downright fun. Pure unadulterated glee permeates every single performance, and that's what makes him wonderful.
So what if female counterparts are poor actresses, and not even that pretty? We aren't there to see them.
Or if the writing is shotty, and the plot has holes you can sail a cruise ship through? We are there to be entertained, and as long as you don't think to hard about stuff, that is easily achieved.
So yah, while I hesitate to call it bad, and it certainly wasn't good, it kept me from being bored for 2 hours and about 16 minutes, and that was the whole point of it, wasn't it?
One more annoying thing thou:
I realize Marvel want to connect their movies into a universe, but Captain America was made in 1941, 12 years before Iron Mans first appearance in 1963. Stark enterprises could not have made Captain America!!!!
Bah!

Those days are past
Last year I was an angry angry little girl. I used to write angry angry poetry. Angry graphic poetry. The anger and the hurt isn't so much fun to look back at, but sometimes I go back and read the poetry that arose from that anger and hurt. It's kind of therapeutic. The past can't be changed, but I can learn, or the future will be just as bad.
While rereading poems about Innocence and Little Dahling and umbrellas I found a little gem that I wanted to share with you. It's about six months old and one of the last things I wrote. You see I just woke up one morning and didn't need to write anymore.
So for your enjoyment:
Phoenix
she spun too slowly
to see the debris
raining off her wings
clinging to close
to the past
she had left behind
the buried won't rise
to see new days
life was best forgotten
in the days that passed
she learned to smile anew
shedding glitter
from her fingertips
she was blinding
when she wiped the war paint off
who knew
there was porcelain
hidden beneath the covers
of a murky past
casting off the world
the old grime crumbling off
rising
shining
with a fire from within
she flew into new tomorrows
glittering from the dust
of new days
screaming terror
from the lost days
as she shed no tears
tomorrow
is always to come
yesterday will never return
shining brightly
up towards you
don't tread to close
you will be burnt

Nerdygirls are hotter
It's infinitely satisfying to run across something as obscure as a Turing test and actually know what it is.
I felt a moment of almost overwhelming nerdiness at that moment, and that was immensely gratifying.=D
(Yeah, I am still reading Mogworld^^,)

Packing up
Update on the blog-move. Prolly gonna write mostly about that 'till it's upXP
So I am still waiting to be able to upload to the webhotel that's gonna host me.
I am gonna make the background and colours all nice and pretty. Gotta have banners, so I am gonna start making them soon too.
It's exam season, so that's gonna slow me down.
I am in the process of writing some nice posts to go on the new blog, practising the whole translating deal, how to do it fast and good.
I am brushing up on the German, hoping to get steady enough to have that as a launch language too.
If I get things all nice and set up in time, I am hoping to have it all up in a months time.
Wish me luck dollies^^,

Just a heads up
I will move this blog soon.
You see, I have a dream (corny as it soundsXP).
And my dream is to offer my blog in all the languages I know, thereby making my blog a tool for others when they learn other languages, reading the blog in their goal-language and then re-reading in a language in that they already know when to see how well they picked it up.
My biggest passion of all is languages and the learning of languages. And I want to teach and help others learn.
So I went and took the big leap and ordered myself the new domain. I will post a link when it's open.
Rest assured the blog will stay essentially the same, with what I consider a few improvements:
I will have actual sections for stuff, one for books and cartoons and manga, one for games, one for movies, one for... girly stuff, like soaps and makeup and stuff, a general area for my random stuff like my life and travels and stuff.
The goal will be a minimum of 3 posts a week, which will all go in the "new posts" area. But we all know how it is with these good intentions XP it's a good goal anyway^^,
The starter languages will be English and Norwegian, and hopefully German, if I can brush up again fast enough.
Maybe I will fall flat on my face, but I wholeheartedly believe dreams are important, and this is mine. And I aint givin'n up 'fore I get started=D

Mogworld
There's something infinitely poetic about a book in which the first-person main character dies on page 12.
But then he rises as a zombie. I'm reading this book only during daylight hours, but I can't stop.
The author of Mogworld is named Yahtzee Croshaw and does this for a living:

Thank God I'm pretty...?XP
I am in actuality wearing concealer, foundation, a darker foundation for sculpting, blush, eyeshadow (including tightlining my lashes), mascara, eyebrow colour, and full lipstick (linpiner, lipstick and gloss).
Takes a lot of makeup to become perfectXP
And the reason half my hair is pinned back is that I screwed up some of my screwsXP
It's a kind of seafoam-blu/green- ish sort of colour as base coat, topped with a black crackle polish, topped with a yellow one^^,

Ohisashiburidesu^^,
Yeah, it's been almost a month since I updated last. Since that time I have come of clubbing age. I can now get into nightclubs in Norway even if I am carded. Wooooo... I guess.
I spent my birthday in Stockholm, shopping mostly. For nailpolish and makeup and books.
Oh, and before I forget: A, thank you so much for the Mudkip cap, I sent you a mail and a message on youtube, but you haven't answered. Have you changed you mail address? I haven't, so please send me a mail. Pretty please? If you haven't got my mail address, maybe leave a comment on here? It will come to me as mail, and then I will have your address due to it being the return address (if you have that enabled). Just please let me know nothing is wrong and that it really was you who sent me that cap, so that I won't have to throw it out.
I am gonna post pictures of all my new stuff that I got in Stockholm some day, hopefully soon. But it's dark now, and my apartment is a mess (as usual).
I got lots of nail polishes, which I will do pictures of when I try them out. I have my nails in a sort sea blue-green colour right now, with black graffiti nail polish on top and then yellow on top of that again. I am gonna post a picture tomorrow if they are still aliveXP My nail polish always chips really easily, it has chipped a little already, so we will just see how it looks tomorrow when it's light enough to photograph.
I bought a leather jacket also, and before anyone starts to go all about leather being murder: I believe that when you first kill an animal, you should use all of it. Even it's skin. And cows are being killed so that I can eat them, therefore it's not immoral of me to wear cow skin as clothing. I don't wear mink thou, 'cos I don't eat mink. I think that I can wear whatever I eat. So: I do not wear rabbit fur, but I do like sheepskin. I don't wear mink, but I do wear leather, that comes from cows.
And I do not condemn the practice of natural hair brushes. To make animal hear brushes they shave the animal. And upset and mistreated animals produce bad fur, which in turn gives poor brush quality. I have actually heard of vegans who only use synthetic makeup brushes, which I guess is important for them, but I don't really see the point. Seeing as the animals hjave to be happy to produce good brushes. And if you think this is a weird statement: who do you see if a dog/cat/other pet is happy? They have glossy pretty fur. So thereXP

Ms. Autumn =/= Miyavi
I am sorry, I know Emilie Autumn and Miyavi appeal to a lot of the same demographic, now shying away from the "emo" label and calling themselves scene-kids, but they are not related.
I can't really see the connection to Rasputina either (to ms. Autumn that is). (It's actually closer to Imogen Heap Maybe? Maybe not? Hmmmm)
I realize that these bands are of a class by themselves, way off the side of any genre I can think of, but appealing to scene-kids and lolitas are a bad excuse for telling impressionable youth who doesn't know better that they are related.
That would be like relating Beetles to Nick Cave just because they both make morbid sh*t. Or Miranda Lambert to God Module due to they both being awesome.
That being said: Wooooo For Miyavi on Spotify!!!!

Do me more
I have rediscovered Amuro Namie. She came bubbling out of the youtube cesspool as a related video to Double.
She has recently released a new single in collaboration with After School, a Korean girl super group. (there are those Koreans againXP)
Ms. Amuro however is Japanese, and is helping After School get a kick start to their Japanese carrier.
Here you go:
(I wonder why they always flip the videos....O.o)
I think that Namie has a much cleaner sound than BoA, and thou I heart BoA with a passion these days it's nice with a break from all the autotuningXP

I hate birthdays....=/
A month from today I will be turning 23. Man, am getting oldXP
Or, not really. But I am getter older and even that can be kind of upsetting sometimes. I have been accustomed to being a child. To do childish things and wear childish clothes.
I gave away all of my goth wear a couple of weeks back. That was hard. Saying goodbye to a part of myslf that I really liked. But it was time I guess.
I gave away all my miniskirts and pink clothes too. Things that made me lokk 16. I was done being 16 seven years ago. That however felt really nice. That was a kind of childish I haven't been really comfortable with since I was 18.
I am gonna spoil myself clothes-wise for me birthday. Find out what my new style will be.
So far I know I like jeans, red sweaters, and shirts. Also I like halternecks, but I don't know if that's in style this summer. We'll see^^,
One good thing thou. I will be old enough to go to nightclubsXP

So yoo herd I liek Mudkips?
I got a late x-mas present from A^^, Isn't it awesome=D=D
Plants vs. Zombies
So I have a zombie-phonia. An extreme and annoying fear of dead, rotting things that move around.
And you can tell me they don't exist 'till you're blue in face, I am still terrified of them.
But I have discovered this neat little game called Plants vs.Zombies, where they are drawn sort of childishly, and I get to to shoot them dead with plants.
It's helping a little. I spend most of the game trying to ignore them, and after a few hours I am so terrified I can't stop playingXP
But little by little it's getting better.
I made Boyfriend do the foggy night-time levels where you can't see them coming thou.XP

To do (or I should do)
I should really do some reading, but it's way to easy to be distracted.
Friends on facebook, Simon's Cat, Plants vs.Zombies, Questionable Content are all excellent distractions.
It's hard to concentrate. I put on classical music, which usually help, but it's too boring, so I listen to Aha! by Imogen Heap on repeat, which is too interresting.
I think it's just all the things that have to be done I get distracted by. I should clean my room, I should organize my book shelf, I should wash my clothes, I should clean my bathroom. Bah!
In the end I just end up playing games. I think it's the lack of sugar. And the excessive amounts of coffee.
I eat apples to calm my need for sugar, and to keep hydrated. No more saft for me. I should drink water.
I need to pluck my eyebrows. Maybe I should dye my hair? And then look down and my great big green philosophy book lie there, mocking me.
Bah! I think I am gonnna go buy some soup.

Rory on the Obama campaign trail
You know the funniest, sharpest, quickest show on TV?
Full of jokes and references to obscure pop culture. Which gets better and better each time I watch it, 'cos I get more of the references each single time.
They also predicted Obama for president. The whole show ended in 07 with Rory going off to follow Barak Obama on his campaign trail. This before he even decided to go for president.
I just heart Gilmore Girls so much <3<3

Cool Schoolthings I have bought
I am a little late with this post, as school have been in session for a while, but I bought some cool stuff, as I always do at the start of the school year. Sorry about the pictures being crooked, I hate blogger's picture upload feature, I have to flip all pictures every which way on my computer before they turn up right, and honestly I am too lazy today.
These first pictures are my book of spells day planner. It came wrapped in a article about Albus Dumbledore. Isn't it neat?
It has a page per day, and it's all tidy and a nice size=D
These are my notebooks. They were way different size than I thoughXP
But I'll find some use for them^^,
They came in a plastic sleeve with a "Plans for Global Domination" paper plate for stiffness.
Cute, neh?^^,

But I'll find some use for them^^,
They came in a plastic sleeve with a "Plans for Global Domination" paper plate for stiffness.

Going on a saving spree
So I might have a shopping addiction. I don't like to buy stuff, or clothes. And it's not the satisfaction of spending money, I hate being broke, which is what happens when you spend too much money, as we all know. It's more that I like owning a lot of books. It's not the buying that does it for me, it's the owning. The owning of ways to spend my time. Of books and movies and music and games. It's at the point where I'd rather spend 800kr on books than spend 300 on a new pair of jeans. On top of that I keep giving my clothes away or actually tossing them, due them not fitting, being ruined or simply belonging to another life.
I also spend a lot of money on nice smelling soaps, bath fizzers, shampoo bars, and other nice smelling beauty stuff. I have become almost addicted to smelling good and pampering boyfriend and myself, and it just costs too much.
This cannot continue.
And then the boyfriend decided that he is taking me shopping in Stockholm for my birthday. And for that I need money.
So until my birthday I am going on a saving spree^^,
This means that I am not gonna buy books, movies or games. I am gonna use up all of my soaps and such before buying more, but I have to be allowed to clean myselfXP
But lets be honest, I have books. I have movies. And I have games. I have not seen, read or played about half of it. No, untrue, I have not read most of it, and have seen nearly all of it, but I just keep watching my favourite movies over and over anyway, and I have played all of my DS games, except one, which I haven't taken the plastic off, but I have decided to make it a birthday gift, so I think I am excused at that game. I have not however finished any of the finishiable games. Not one. Pokémon games can't be finished, but I haven't even taken on the Elite Four in about half of them.
So I think that I will not buy anything but food and cleaning supplies until my birthday. I will play games I already own, watch the movies in my bookshelf, and read my own books. That I have a few of.
I will give or throw away anything that I ended up not liking.
And when my birthday comes up I will hopefully have a neat little pile of money that I can buy clothes with, so that I can throw out my frayed jeans, faded sweaters and dated... well everything. Last year I bought two party dresses, 'cos I needed two party dresses, and some underwear, and that was it. It's too little.
I need a less dated look. So I am gonna stop shopping so that I can shop^^, Maybe even pay to get my hair cut, and get it cut right, and in a way that actually suits me, for the first time in... over 5 years I think. At least. Maybe more. The last time I can remember paying to go to the hairdresser was when I got black streaks when I was 15. I am so over being a model for random people and not even having straight bangs afterwards.
So yeah, I am going to be sugar free. and well dresses soon^^, It's gonna be a whole new me=D
