Day 6 (Plus some more fun things.)

Day06- Favorite super hero and why
Here we go. This is a good one.


I've always had trouble deciding who my favorite super hero is.
And at the moment it is a cross between 2...or maybe three...

First of I would like to mention Nightcrawler.
(In case you didn't know, he is from X-Men... if you don't know that...I'm not sure why you're reading my blog... but I digress...)

Nightcrawler always interested me, mainly because of his appearance and his abilities. They're pretty cool and his abilities are quite subtle for the most part. The more I learned of him, the more I enjoyed the actual personality of the character, then finally I learned of his history.

He's a cool character that just kind of minds his own business, had a rough life, but has learned to deal with it. (Though this seems to be a trend in most super heroes, to be honest)

My favorite thing about the X-Men though, is how the majority of them were simply born with their abilities. (Granted, some of them mutated themselves in one way or another...)
They weren't bitten by anything strange, injected with a serum, blasted with radiation.
They actually HAVE powers and generally don't have to wear special suits to use them.
They're just... born like that. And people either love them or hate them for it.
Even though they're probably the least human looking out of all of the heroes, I still find that they are the most human in the end.




The other two heroes I will mention are Hellboy and Abe.
I like Hellboy's personality. He's very stubborn, a bit harsh, and tries to be a badass.

But.

He loves cats and candy.
Cats. and. candy.
(and Tecate, but...that's a different story...)

Somehow...I can relate...


And Abe. Abe is just phenomenal. One of the least physical characters I've ever seen (Professor X not included...)
But he's very smart, he's kind and he's shy. The exact opposite of Hellboy, but he is equally, if not more like-able. Trapped in his tank or in a funny suit, kind of falling by the wayside of the world. I just like Abe.

That's all.


(Ps. Cheetara)



And moving on.


A while ago I wrote a blog all about ICE CREAM!

Well, here's another one to add to my list.


The Inside Scoop, Hyde Park, Ny

The Inside Scoop is a near-by ice cream store that we had never visited before, despite the fact that we drive by is almost every day.
Little did we know that not only was it homemade ice cream, but it was also...really really good homemade ice cream...

Service: 9/10
Definitely. The employees were very, very friendly and enthusiastic (but not in the Cold Stone "we'regonnasingforyouandbealittlebitobnoxioussoyouwillgiveustips" kind of way.)
They made nice conversation, gave us a menu and let us try the flavors that we thought were interesting.

Taste:8.5/10
Hands down the best Cotton Candy ice cream I've ever had. I was extremely impressed, especially with the texture.
Their Cake Batter didn't beat the Island Creamery's, though.
But, they had a flavor called "Sponge Bob" and it was really good!


Originality: 8/10. It had a playground outside, the inside looked almost like an arcade/party store without the games and it was very colorful.

Value:8.5/10
We both got two huge scoops of ice cream for a little over 7 dollars. I approve.

Experience:9/10.
Despite not feeling well, we both enjoyed our ice cream and even had enough to take home and eat later!
It was wonderful


Total: 8.6

Slap The Bass

Interview for extern today. Im going to go check out the place and if its good then I will apply and hope to get hired. I really hope it works out, I want to stay in the area. Broski is driving me there and back for my interview, then we'll probably try to meet up with this angry wiccan girl that lives on campus. And after that is White Castle adventure. Woooooo.

I've never been to White Castle. I think it's a hamburger place. And Im down with that.

Last night Van and I went to the movies and saw I Love You, Man. It was a good one. Worth seeing, definitely. We're both really stoked for the new X-Men movie. Its gonna be sick. Can we just take a moment to say "yum"?

X-Men might be my favorite set of superheroes. Mostly because they didn't choose to be the way they are (generally), most of them were born that way (though Logan was kind of...enhanced.) and they didn't get their powers by accident, like Spiderman or the Hulk. they all just started out as kids that could do unusual things and they chose to ignore it, enhance it, and use if for good or for bad. And, for the most part, their powers only effect their appearance subtly (Mystique, Beast, and Nightcrawler not included, along with a few others). I also like in the movies how they aren't wearing such costume-y outfits (e.i yellow spandex). I did not like, however, that Mystique was running around naked. (Well, I did..but...)

*ahem*

Moving on.

I made a lot of cookies last night.

and I no longer have a desire to write anything right now. I got distracted.
Time to go find something to eat.

Though I did love "Who Wants To Be A Superhero..."

The television these days is really going down hill. Last night it had me in tears.
Reality TV is by far one of the worst inventions of all time. Not only is it addictive, it is completely useless. See, at least there used to be some good reality TV, back in the day. We had Survivor, Big Brother, The Mole, things like that. Nowadays we have A Double Shot At Love (as if A Shot At Love 1&2 weren't bad enough) Charm School, From G's to Gents, and I don't even remember the one I saw yesterday. It was something horrible. This girl had the most atrocious black, blond and blue hair and she was making a fool of herself. It had something to do with singing. Now, on top of all of those, you have Celebreality. Rock of Love with Brett Michael's, Surreal World (Or is it Surreal Life?), Celebrity Fit Club, then the ever loved Let's Snoop in Celebrity's Houses So We Know That Their Lives Are Just as Fucked Up as Ours As We Invade Their Families Privacy And Watch Their Rather Staged Family Crisis. All While Being Envious of Their Large Sums Of Money. Such as Run's House and Hogan Knows Best. And I'm pretty sure that Salt n Peppa had something like that. But really all they're doing is taking D list celebrities and sticking them on suffering networks to try to make the ratings go up. Sounds like a great plan to me. The reason these shows are so horrible is because they're just desperate for desperate, scummy people. They can have a television show with Tila Tequila (whoever that is...) because someone like Bono is: 1. Worth too much; 2. Smarter than that; 3, Actually cared about.
Please, lets up Oprah on a celebrity dating show.
Talk Show Of Love with Oprah Winfrey!
FANTASTIC!

Then on top of that, you start with something like..oh... I don't know... America's Next Top Model. Good idea, yes? Then you have America's Next Top Model 1-35. How many Top Models do we need?
But wait! All of these Top Models need clothing to wear. So hurry! Make up a new show! This is when all of the producer scramble and come up with Project Runway. Brilliant.
Wait...it needs a host...hurry...who is desperate for drug money so they'll do anything now, even though no one cares about them anymore? Oh! How about a slightly-too-old underwear model? Fantastic!
Hold on! We need someone to do all their hair...lets get some no names to compete in Shear Genius, while all the frantic culinarians on Top Chef make food for their lunch break. It's okay, we only need one winner for that. The models will just throw-up the food anyway. And of course they all compete on the latest reality show about interior decorators. Ten points if anyone can name what it is! Because I sure as hell can't remember.
There is nothing to fear though, because if you're mean, loud, and obnoxious enough, MTV will contact you with a contract to find your true love on one of their many shows. As long as you're somewhat attractive or bisexual.
So, by the look of it, as long as you are:

Skinny
Mean
Loud
Bitchy
A back stabber
Hopeless
A chef
A designer
A model
An interior decorator
A hair stylist
Not straight
Black
White
Remotely attractive
Single
Kind of single
Almost single
Willing to pretend to be single
Cheating
On drugs
Fat
Or have appeared on American Idol at least twice;
You have a chance to be on reality TV!

Congratulations, you have succeeded in life.

This Town Deserves a Better Class of Criminal.

A bunch of people are watching The Dark Knight in the lounge right now, and I just so happen to be sitting in there watching it too. I've seen it a good three times or so now.
I never was much of a Batman fan, to be honest.
I know a lot of people like Batman because he's just a person that doesn't need superpowers to do great things. And I agree, that is cool, but that just makes him a hero. Not a superhero. Because he doesn't have any super powers.

[okay, so the Joker just blew up the fat guy with his cell phone. We're in a really really really dark room with only the TV on, and the man just blew up and I couldnt help but laugh manically when he exploded.]

But yes. I don't really like Batman. I really just like the villians. They're my favorite. I love the villians. That's about it. When I comes to superheroes, I really like X-Men. I like the fact that they were born that way and that they are frowned upon in society, but they still keep going to do good. For the most part. I would have to say that Nightcrawler is my favorite. But then again, Nightcrawler seems to be everyone's favorite.

Anyway. Off to go watch more Batman and find more things to write about.




PS- Just got news that Maggie Gyllenhaal might be playing Cat Woman.


P.s.s - I like this movie because they dont kill her.
