Good evening, my fellow blood suckers! ^w^

I do hope you'll be able to prise yourself off the necks of your victims long enough to check out the updates I've painstakingly prepared for you all this week ... 'Cause in the unfortunate event you're unable to do so, I'll have no choice but to introduce you to a new definition of the word 'painstaking'.

;She produces a wooden stake from her back pocket with her left hand, which she tosses into the air, catching with her right. She then proceeds to casually twirl the stake on her fingers like a baton.;

I'd ask if you've got the picture, but judging from the way you've all dropped your victims as if they were buckets of radioactive waste, the answer's quite obvious.

Ah, I do so love an attentive audience. ^_^

The 1337 516h71n65 page has been updated with one new sighting --- Definitely a must click, as this is the first time the page has been updated in nearly five fuckin' years!

The Family's Funny Quotes page has been updated with one new quote, courtesy of the ever capricious Cameron. Now, I do realise that a single quote doesn't seem very update worthy, but y'know what they say --- Quality over quantity! And trust me, loves, this is one high quality quote. ^_~

The Movies I Must See page was updated with a few new movie titles that, judging by their trailers, appear to be full of win. Plus, I was able to check off a movie title, as well --- Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland! *o*

Which, obviously, I saw a few days ago in the theatre with two of my brothers! Lemme tell you, though, actually getting in to see Alice In Wonderland was no easy task. @_@; In fact, it was similar to when 'uncool' people on TV attempt to get into 'cool' nightclubs. o_o; Er, well ... Not in the sense that we had to hoodwink an oversized bouncer with an outrageously wacky plan resulting in winnanigans galore, but in the sense that first time we went to see the movie on the evening of 9 March 2010, we were refused access ... As it had sold out while we were waiting in the unusually massive line to buy tickets!

I don't know about you guys, but this has never happened to any of us before, so we were pretty Goddamn bummed out. ((Especially me, as I had taken nearly two hours to get ready for the event! T_T)) Granted, it was a Tuesday, which in our movie theatre translates to 'half price day' ... But we've been to loads of half price days in the past, and it's always been absolutely dead in the place!

However, we decided to plan a little better for the second time around, by buying the tickets ahead of time for a showing the next night at 7:30 PM, on 10 March 2010 ... Which wouldn't necessarily guarantee us entry into the film, since movie theatres in Canada work on a 'first come, first serve' basis, but it would at least save us the time of waiting around in a massive line again, should one form. We also planned to show up an hour and a half before the movie began to be on the super duper safe side.

... Which meant that I started getting ready at 4:00 PM, ROTFL. I do believe it was worth it in the end, though, because I looked quite smashing, if I do say so myself. ^_~

Apologies for the shoddy quality, BTW! My camera simply wouldn't take the shots I wanted it to take, so I decided to make things easy for myself and just use Skelly's webcam, instead. And then I thought to myself, 'Shit, these photos are pretty low quality --- So why not lower 'em even further and merge them all into an annoyingly amusing animated GIF?!' Which is, of course, perfectly logical thinking in Malloryopolis. ^_^

And since I know everyone's gonna ask, yes, that's a colossal hairbow sitting atop my head, bwahaha! ^o^ I made it myself especially to wear whilst seeing Alice In Wonderland, ((Although I'm planning to wear it everywhere I go from now on, pretty much,)) By loosely following this extremely awesome tutorial on YouTube. Be sure to check out the video if you'd like an abnormally large hairbow of your own! *^^*

When we arrived at the theatre, it was instantly evident that our plans had worked perfectly, as there was no one in sight except us and the employees when we walked into the theatre --- Which, while it was relieving, was also a bit of a shock, considering there had to be at least two hundred people packed into the place the night before!

After sitting around for over an hour, ((And after a nerve wracking moment where we thought they were gonna confiscate my backpack, which was filled nearly to bursting with a giant bag of popcorn we had popped at home, along with various candy, chocolate, chips, crackers, cookies, and drinks I had bought ahead of time at the dollar store,)) It was finally time to hand in our tickets and claim our favourite seats --- Second row from the top, smack dab in the middle!

Next, all we had to do was get comfy and wait for the movie, ((And the snacking!)) To begin. And man, what a movie it was! *_* Excellent acting, fantastic special effects, beautiful costumes and makeup, stellar acting, and, of course, a magnificent story!

Plus, our theatre was only playing the 2D version of the movie, which made it a lot more enjoyable than if it had've been in 3D, as me and my brothers are most definitely not fans of this annoying 3D craze that's been spreading like the fucking Black Plague lately.

Seriously, I can't fucking stand 3D shit! It's outdated, it's cliché, it's visually unconvincing, it's childish, ((And this is coming from a chick who still collects My Little Pony toys and goes trick or treating every Halloween,)) Plus, it's headache inducing! I truly have no clue why it's become so popular again. Why couldn't it stay back in the 1980s where it belongs ...? Or, better yet, why couldn't it stay back in the 1890s, when it was first invented?! >_<;

... Let's change the subject, though, before I become so angry that I'm forced to raise William Friese Greene from the dead simply so I can kill him again. c_c;

I'm sure you all remember last week, when I was agonising over the fact that I still hadn't named my new Betta fish --- Well, apparently I enjoy agonisation, 'cause I still haven't completely decided what I'm gonna name him. X_X;

However, I am going to share a few of the ideas that've been ricocheting off the walls of my skull:

Acrimony.
Blaze.
Brimstone.
Flare.
Inferno.
Paroxysm.
Pyro.
Rage.

Sulphur.

I really enjoy the idea of naming him either Brimstone or Sulphur compared to all the other names in the list, but the fact that sulphur AKA brimstone is actually bright yellow in its native form --- As opposed to bright red, like my fish --- Is making me have second thoughts! I know this really isn't a crucial factor, but I don't want to appear ignorant for naming a red fish after a yellow chemical element. e_e;

As for the other names on the list, none of them have really stuck with me, either! The ones associated with fire seem too unimaginative, and the ones related to angry emotions seem too parodic. x_X; I'm confident I'll decide eventually, though ... The only thing I'm concerned about is how long it's gonna take! #_#;

Oh, and more more thing about my Betta fish --- In the comments of last week's entry, a few of you expressed concern that perhaps his new home was a bit too crowded. However, I assure you that this is simply an optical illusion due to the shape of the bowl and magnifying effect of the water! Emptied of water, it doesn't look nearly as jam packed, so no worries. ^^;

And with that, my vampy visitors, I shall bid you farewell! n_n

;She curtsies deeply and then skips off in a sprightly sort of way, twirling her wooden stake about once more as she exits.;
