Regarding Nude Harry Potter

Bubs — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 04:36:53 +0000

Me: Did you know there’s a nude scene in the new Harry Potter movie? I’ve seen Daniel Radcliffe’s photos from Equus, nothing impressive.

Will: That’s probably because he hasn’t used Engorgio yet.

I LOL’d

Animal Crossing: Wild World

Bubs — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 04:48:21 +0000

Sarah’s Flickr set inspired me to dig out my Nintendo DS Lite and play AC:WW again. Since it had been over a year since I last played, I decided to rebuild my town (and give it a proper name). I’m currently paying off my third mortgage to Tom Nook and I’ve become an amazing fisherman (snagging several octopi!) If you are interested in exchanging friend codes please let me know! I’ve never had visitors nor have I ventured outside the gates

Lost is Back!

So the best television series ever returned for its fifth season tonight. Too bad my DVR decided not to record the first hour I was, however, able to watch the second half. Will and I discussed the episode’s events through text messages:

Will: Oh my god!!!!
Will: Are you watching?!?
Will: Best show ever
Me: Ben! What is he about to do?
Will: I have no clue

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Me: Omg flaming arrows?!?!
Will: Ha ha
Me: Sawyer & Juliet FTW
Me: “He’s also got this double life where he does crazy ninja moves and spy stuff.”
Me: Omg they are in the past
Will: Wow
Me: It doesn’t get any better than this
Me: Locke
Will: Holy cow
Will: Just wait
Me: Omg omg omg
Will: Call me

In other non-related news, I took your advice and replaced my sideblog with my recent tweets. I rarely used my sideblog anyway.

A Bunch of Bond Lists

Bubs — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:50:43 +0000

The release of the new Bond theme, Another Way to Die, inspired me to rank my top 5 Bond songs:

Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney & Wings
A View to a Kill by Duran Duran
Diamonds Are Forever by Shirley Bassey
The Man With the Golden Gun by Lulu
Nobody Does It Better by Carly Simon

And since we’re on the subject, here are my favorite opening titles:

And the hottest Bond girls:

Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) Dr. No
Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) Thunderball
Solitaire (Jane Seymour) Live And Let Die
Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen) Goldeneye
Solange (Caterina Murino) Casino Royale
Domino Derval (Claudine Auger) Thunderball

Coolest villains:

Elektra King – the first female main villain
Boris Grishenko – who DOESN’T love Boris
Emilio Largo – pure evil… he even tortures his girlfriend!
Bambi and Thumper – I loved their gymnastics-filled fight with Bond
Fiona Volpe – she’s probably my favorite character from all of the films
Alec Trevelyan – I especially liked his connection to Bond
Franz Sanchez – a somewhat believable villain

And finally, my favorite films:

I haven’t seen Casino Royale enough times to rank it Any other Bond fans?

Literary Musing

Dune Messiah is much better than Dune so far. Can’t wait for the new Dune movie.

School 'n Stuff

Bubs — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:35:31 +0000

School’s back in full force… that’s why I haven’t been around much lately. I have 2 projects due and an exam this week Will and I have $100 riding on our GPAs this semester. If I make better in my classes, he pays me (vice-versa) It’s a bit unfair since he is in grad school and doesn’t have as heavy of a load as I do In case you’re interested, here’s what I’m taking:

Microcomputer Applications – should be an easy course (we’re learning how to use MS Excel), but I have the hardest time waking up at 9am
Intro to Computer Algorithms – I HATE this aspect of Computer Science. Big O notation? Running times? Who the heck cares? jk This will be my toughest course, by far.
Calculus 3 – I tried to take it this summer, but had to drop because I couldn’t handle the fast-pace. I made a 95 on my first exam this semester, though!
Programming Languages – My teacher is rough, but we’re learning some interesting stuff. Near the end of the semester, we’ll be studying Ruby, which I’m very excited about.
Undergraduate Research – Dr. Kim and I have worked together for 2-3 years now. He’s a wonderful mentor.

Any Avatar: The Last Airbender fans? The final season premiere was excellent! Aang looks so cute with hair And Zuko is still hot, even with a top-knot! Spoiler (highlight to read): He didn’t seem to interested when Mai kissed him… wonder if the relationship will work out? Don’t forget to catch Season 3: Episode 2 this Friday!

And the Naruto manga! *catches breath* What exciting news! More Spoilers: Yondaime (aka Namikaze Minato), my cartoon crush, was revealed to be Naruto’s daddy! I’ve been rooting for this revelation since Chapter 1. Does anyone else get the feeling that Pein has a connection to Naruto as well? I’m wondering if he is related to Naruto’s mom…

It’s 10:30, and class starts at 11, so I best be running!

The Deathly Hallows

Bubs — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 08:37:04 +0000

I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I must say, one of the best books I’ve ever read. Extremely fast paced, there wasn’t a moment without action concerning the main characters. As far as I know (as I haven’t read all the books yet), JKR did a wonderful job of tying up all the loose ends. Two chapters brought tears to my eyes!

I will hopefully discuss the book in further detail in a future post. Right now, I have to concentrate on passing my Cal 3 exam on Thursday Below, I compiled a list of upcoming movies I’d like to see. I love watching movie trailers, maybe you will enjoy a few!

WALL•E

Bubs — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 03:24:54 +0000

Have you seen the preview for the new Pixar movie, WALL•E? If not, you MUST check it out! The movie is about a lonely robot who finds love I’m in love with the cute little robot, who reminds me of my childhood friend, Herman.

I’ve always loved the Pixar films, most notably: Toy Story, A Bug’s Life and Finding Nemo. I’ve yet to see Toy Story 2 or The Incredibles, but both are on my must-watch list

Interesting Coincidence

Bubs — Mon, 28 May 2007 04:09:30 +0000

When it comes to movies, I have a boy’s taste. Give me an action/adventure over a romantic comedy any day. Since I was a little girl, 3 film franchises have stood out in my mind as my favorites — James Bond, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars.

For Christmas my parents gave me the James Bond Ultimate Edition (all four volumes!) Although I’ve seen all 21 Bond movies over a billion times, I’ll still pop one in when I’m bored.

The other day while I was watching For Your Eyes Only I realized something I’d never noticed before… an actor who played in all three of my favorite movies!

Julian Glover played Walter Donovan in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Maximilian Veers in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and Aristotle Kristatos in For Your Eyes Only.

I figured I’d share my discovery with fellow movie nerds
