Howard Hughes Invented a Bra For Me

Personal Bits, Queer stuff

I just scanned one of my flickr friend’s weekend pics and it made me a bit nostalgic for the days when SharkBoy and I use to run around like spies, tearing up the town.

However, would I say that the honeymoon is over, headed into our third year? I would say no.

Yesterday, SharkBoy took me to a movie. That in itself sounds staid but it was a mystery movie.

We were up early and our chores done and he got me showered and dressed for the early shows at AMC ($6 before noon!). We get to the theatre and I think “Cool! JCVD! That will be fun.” But no, he instructs me to purchase Beverly Hills Chihuahua.

“Serious?”

“We’re getting into the Disney spirit,” He beams.

I can’t love him any more.

At 1130am, we had the whole theatre to ourselves. We made loud comments at the screen like Howard Hughes screaming at Jane Russell’s tits.

Death Note 2

Celebs and Media

Stay with me readers, I’m going to go all geeky/nerdy/anime on you with my thoughts on Death Note 2: The Last Name, a sequel you’ve probably never heard of. And if you have, you’re cooler than me!

Bit of a back story for you non-Death Noters: The original Death Note movie is adapted from Manga (aren’t they all?), about a young lad, Light Yagami (Tatsuya Fujiwara), who discovers a book dropped to earth by a death god, a “shinigami” named Ryuk. He sees a particular person’s face and writes their name in the book, they meet a tragic end. Light then takes it upon himself to see if he can rid the world of evil with the help of his book. Enter the police (as they do, when their criminals start to die off) who are trying to figure out why their crime rates are dropping, and suddenly you have a Crime and Punishment/Les Misérables kind of plot twist.

In Death Note 2, Light Yagami joins forces with the police to try to catch the serial killer “Kia” while the super detective “L” still suspects that Light is the killer.

Still here?

Okay so the whole point of this post is that there’s a showing here in town of Death Note 2 at the Empire, December 3rd (see link above!). It sounds like a great chance to see derivative Japanese culture. Seeing how live action movies in an actual cinema setting is so utterly rare here in Toronto, I would say that this will rock quite a bit.

Or you can wait another 3 years and see Sarah Michelle Gellar in it. Trust me, see the originals.

You Want a Peace Of Me?

At the Y, there’s a curious little community building exercise going on: the Peace Tree! Guests (but mostly children) are encourage to write what you think “peace” is on a leaf and add it to the tree!

Apart from the veiled religious diatribes (which I find quite ironic) it has all the comments you’d expect from a regular web forum: some smart utterances to head scratching, WTF? ones. Like so:

There’s the political:

There’s the gaysex (I’m assuming it’s gay because they’re dressed the same, kings or princesses, who can say)

There’s the “That’s Not How It Works” speculator:

And finally my favorite, the Non Sequitir:

Dressing Alike Agoof

General

SharkBoy and I are walking to work when I spy coming towards us a couple wearing matching Aeropostale over-stitched lettering hoodys, Tim Horton’s in their hand and baseball caps. They might have pulled it off (exactly what were they trying to pull off?) had one not been slightly too old and too tall for Aeropostale…

I snort and say: “Oh god, look at these two–”

I stop suddenly when I realize that SharkBoy and I are wearing near identical used motorcycle cop jackets, black baseball caps and jeans.

Better Than Mama!!

Be you flesh eater or pacifist plant mangler, PETA made me laugh today with a game that can either get their message out there successfully or make them seem a bit …um… batshit crazy:

I took the Flash file off because it had no sound control…

PETA wants Nintendo to offer more vegetarian options in the next Cooking Mama (is there a new game in the works?). I don’t care if they change the recipes, I do care if they re-voice the Mama character. Her ESL fractured cadence always made me laugh.

Bettah Than Mama!
NO GUD!
