I'll forgive you Kae...

Kae's Car

Kae has this little greenish car. An obsolete Saturn that is about as old as I am, uh, obsolete for a car that is.

Anyhow, Kae comes into my room looking very, very pleased with herself. "I gave my car oil!!!" I wasn't thrilled, but it was rather interesting, the thought of her giving her car oil. Then the weird part. (With Kae, there is almost always a weird part. Gotta love it.)

"I gave my car it's bottle, so now I know it won't throw a tantrum and leave me walking to school."

Without hardly stopping for breath she goes on. "You know, she'd make a cute Transformer!"

Jay: "Susie the Ugly?!?" (Don't get me wrong, I love this car, I just don't find her that attractive, and yeah, her name is Susie.)

Kae: "She's not ugly! We could call her Suzaguard!"

Adam West Vs Christian Bale


(Believe it or not, that was the most intelligent-looking picture of the Adam West Batman I could find.)


There was no comparison, really. At all.

But if you were wondering, Christian Bale wins.

See, about three years ago, I saw a Batman movie. It was from the 60s and well,.... hm...lets just say that it was from the 60s. Now I have a friend who thinks very highly of Batman, and rightly so, and he was somewhat disturbed that my only experience of Batman was the Adam West Batman. He suggested this be remedied. And last night, it was.



I've got one thing to say about it. 8D

I just wanted to tell you that it was very cool and interesting and I won't bother you with details. I bothered Kae with details just when she was beginning to think she might want to see it. And now she doesn't want to. (I've got a really bad habit of telling her all of the worst stuff first.)

The movie is easily summarized in a few sentences.

"If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, you become something else entirely."

"But it's not who you are underneath, it's what you do that defines you."

"I seek the means to fight injustice, to turn fear against those who prey on the fearful."

And that is pretty much it.

So, now I no longer think of the Adam West Batman when I think of Batman.



Jay


P.S. And in case any of you were worrying, don't. My loyalties still lie with Marvel.

Fact

Looking up and seeing a spider is not half as disturbing as looking up a few moments later and not seeing a spider.

Biology

I've been reading in this biology book, not a bad book. It is ether interesting, confusing, boring, or I'm not paying attention and yes, I can be reading something and not paying attention to it.
But I've got a problem with the book. A big problem. To explain, I will relate an exchange that Kae and I had this afternoon.

Jay: "I'll be glad when I am done with this biology book."

Kae: "Why?"

Jay: "Too much sex and violence."

Sad thing is, is that that is my real reason for wanting to be done with the book. There actually isn't that much violence, though.

Post done at the request of Kae.

Quote of the Day

Courage is being scared to death... and saddling up anyway.

John Wayne


OK, I might like John Wayne after all.

Fact of the Day

Well, fact according to Kae. So I guess that would make it opinion of the day.

But the way she said it, she made it sound so very much like a fact. And the fact that I agree with her 100% didn't help much.

"Gary Numan is really creepy looking." (More or less what she said.)

But this song Is very cool, so I went and found a video of it where you don't have to see Gary Numan.

Concerning Voices and Careers

So, Kae and I have sore throats. I'm getting over being sick, and she is getting sick. And we where just finishing up the dishes, that is usually when we are at our best, that is, the most...funny.

At this particular time we were having fun quoting heroes and bad guys alike (mostly bad guys, they work better with the voices we were doing.) I was quoting a guy from a suit commercial (OK, nether good guy or bad.) "You're gonna like the way you look, I guarantee it."

Jay: "Hey! I could be the Suit Commercial Guy!" (Very sore throat.)

Kae: "Dude, with a voice like that, why would you be selling suits when you could be a Super-Villain"?

Concerning Shrapnel

1. an artillery shell designed to explode in mid-air with a lethal spray of metal projectiles.

2. fragments of a bomb, shell, or other object thrown out by an explosion.


Okay, since the only people that this picture that I am going to show you presently would only make sense to is people who are thoroughly learned in both Iron Man and Lord of the Rings, and I don't think any of me readers are, I will go into a brief explanation.

Tony Stark, genius, playboy, billionaire, etc... was wounded in an explosion and kidnapped. He was not going to be released until he had built a specific weapon for his captors (building weapons was his occupation). But, as I said, he had been wounded and there was shrapnel lodged in his chest and working towards his heart. It would kill him. His fellow prisoner installed an electromagnet, powered by a car battery, in his chest to keep the shrapnel out of his heart. But the car battery wasn't good enough. Tony Stark built a miniature ARC Reactor to power the electromagnet. The ARC Reactor was a wonderful, glowing, circle of exquisite technology. It saved Mr. Stark's life, and he used it to power an armor suit and eventually became Iron Man.

This next fellow takes less explaining. Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit, was traveling with some friends when the company met with some Ringwraiths. One of them, the leader, stabbed Frodo in the shoulder. It was a terrible wound. But worst of all, a shard of the Ringwraith's sword broke off and became lodged in poor Frodo's shoulder and was working it's way towards his heart.

Now, if you have been paying attention, you will get this.




Have a wonderful day.

Pride Is...

...that wonderful happy feeling I got when Kae said: "...he turned into a miniature conflagration."

But see, it's not the but word she used that made me proud (No, that only makes me feel illiterate.), it's the fact that she remembered who Denathor was without me having to relate the entire story line of The Lord of the Rings.

A Little Complaint ('cause nobody is perfect)

The fact that I have to watch stupid little advertisements before I can watch a movie trailer, music video, etc... doesn't bother me half as much as the fact that 90% of the time, the stupid little advertisements take forever to load.

Tip o teh DAy

Type carefully.




Jay

'Ello There!

Hey, this is Jay! Yeah, I know that my user name is 'Julie', but, as you friends know, I am called Jay, and for this blog, which it going to be much, much, muchmuchmuch, different from my other two, it seemed more fitting to me to go by Jay.

Well, I hope this works out. I am always very nervous starting something like this. Yeah, as you can see, not much happens to me if something like starting a blog makes me nervous.

So, I first thought of doing this blog a few days ago when I realized that I had so many brilliant things and no way to share them with people (I'm not on Facebook.).

I thought about it for a while, and then, as almost always comes next in my process of doing things, I asked Kae what she thought.




On my other blogs, you see one side of me. The side that lives in Middle Earth, wears long dresses with belled sleeves, aspires to speak Old-English, and owns a sword. On THIS blog however, you will see the side that loves Transformers (Especially the ones from 1984-5), Iron Man, Spider-man, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc...

Citadel and Fortress is a blog of interesting things, By Castle and River is a blog of beautiful things, this, this will be a blog of things that I find cool and/or amusing, be is something I thought of or something someone else did.


Let's roll.
