I went to see Narnia. Thoughts during the movie (BEWARE! SPOILERS!):

-The faun and the 5-year-old neeeeed to stop the flirty eyes, it's killing me!!! Really, it goes like
Faun: *blink blink*
Girl: "Well *blink blink blink* to you too :3"
iippo: *shudder*
The faun is sexy and all, but I don't want to think of the little girl with him.

-If that lion gets up now, I will not like. *lion re-appears* FFS. *lion explains* ... ... ... Fine, that is a fair enough explanation, I'll accept.
I sorta... have to ccept the lions explanation, not because it's sweet and romantic, but it screams "Good going, Jesus" so... 'Tis cool. But I thought Jesus was a lamb instead of a lion :P

-Where have I seen that monster before..? *after end credits, telling Industrial Light and Magic did the effects* Ah. So that's where I knew it from. Lucas.
And after spending that week with the CharacterShop, I know that they (FXers) go where the fence is smallest, and re use anything they can. Example: The anemone-tentacles in Nemo are hairs of Sulley (from Monsters, inc) going upwards instead of following gravity.

... I need therapy...

I got a jealousy fit because in her diary [Inoni] referred to herself as "teh 'Noni"...
Darling calls me 'noni/nonee' (means cute or something like that in hindi), and no one else should be called noni than me!

Your birth number is 7. The number 7 symbolises the planet Neptune, another water planet like moon. You are independent original and strongly marked individual. You love change and travel. You will be extremely good in writing painting and poetry. You will have remarkable dreams and great attraction to occultism. You have a gift of intuition clairvoyance and a peculiar quieting magnetism.

I hate it when these things do this... You can't know me this well by my name and birth date!! >.<;

From a house:

my mom got me this gigantic book, and it's got every work that Shakespeare ever did.
it's probably over 1000 pages!

Harry Potter 5 has over 1,000 pages. I sure do hope that Shakespeare has written more than that. Or that it's printed in the smallest print ever.

My contextual studies just got a lot easier:

I have a theory: people look pretty when they feel horrible (sick, drunk in a bad way, tired, sad etc). I've had really many photos taken of me when feeling like crap and they always look way better than photos of normal me.

[koolchick_2006] has a photo where she says it was taken when she was sick, and she looks really good in it, and I've met friends and told them they look splendacious and they said "really? I feel like shit", that has happened a lot.

The question is, why? I know women look more attractive the more fertile they are (i.e. we consider a fertiler woman to look prettier than a less fertile one -- something to do with a hormone), so do we get more fertile when we are sick/tired/feeling bad? (What a bizarre idea.)

Apparently it is completely possible to press one exactly wrong key/key combination to mess up my keyboard from Finnish characters to American ones. O_o;;; Question: Why the fuck?!?! And why isn't it as easy to change it back?

This is the list of interesting fictional people that deserve to be known.

Slaptula = A deadly weapon (not unlike the spatula) used for bitchslapping twatty whiny people.

Nightcrawler (looking for ShadowCat): Kitty? Kitty?!
SaberTooth: Meow. *attack*

Are Santa's reindeers male or female?
Female. Reindeers, like elks (mooses) drop their antlers annually. Male-reindeers do that right before winter (and therefore at Christmas-time wouldn't be having any antlers, which kind of reindeers we do not see pulling Santa), while female-reindeers drop them at early spring. And that explains the exact reason why Rudolp was teased by the other reindeers: she had an unfortunate name, not anything wrong with her nose.

I've watched enough X-Men Evolutions (God that ShadowCat annoys the hell out of me >.<;;;) to know what kind of mutant I would want to be: a teleporter who could only teleport next to a person she knew. So I could appear next to Wolverine or Nightcrawler any given moment... :) And I'd have lizard-like heating problems (what's the word for it?) so the temperature of my surroundings would affect my body temperature, so cold would make my movements sluggish, heat would make the fast and freezing cold would kill me (there's a reason I think that would be a problem to me *ish sucha chillycat*)

Finally went to see Harry Potter 4. 'Twas yay enough. Vollie was uberly. I wish I hadn't done my placement with the Character Shop, I can't see specia effects and 3D-models anymore the way I did. *sigh*

I made this in 3Ds Max (GIFfified in Adobe ImageReady that wanted to murder my bird, but only managed to mutilate it a little.)

The N.Y. strike continues, although the court ordered them huge fines. I am so happy about it, I do wish they get their demands and I do wish they keep fighting in spite of what the press is saying about them (calling them rats and worse). If the people who drive their subways and buses are rats, what does that make the lawyers, stockbrokers and doctors? Beats me. But to the public transport workers in New York: keep it up, you'll make it.

Saddam Hussein's trial keeps on going. They'll probably execute that guy... He is so cocky in court, it really amazes me. He seems so sure that his authority will save him... Or he knows he's going down and is willing to cause as much hassle as possible.

Well, it seems that Linkmeet didn't consider me studenty enough to let me join (or their email-invitation shchtuff is uuuber slow). I wonder should I take the hint...

I am in Finland again and reading the papers. Interesting news.

There was a hunting-party in my town and they caught a male bobcat. There was a photo in the paper of the hunters (45 men) and their catch. The next day there were many angry people saying that it was a shameful thing what they had done, such a huge load of men catching this beautiful innocent animal. The day after that there was another article where the hunters had a voice, explaining what it's like to hunt a bobcat. No one used bullet-weapons, only shotguns. A bobcat is not that big (although called big game), it's silent, near-invisible and well fast. The stock on how many of them can be killed is small (I think 7 this year, they have killed 6), so when any amount of hunters want to take part, everyone is allowed (since it is a rare opportunity). Last few years have been good to hares and squirrels, means lots of food for bobcats, lots of pups/kittens for bobcats, lots of bobcats. When there is a worse year of rodents, the lots of bobcats will be hungry, die of cold or disease or come to area where people live and hunt sheep or pets. The English-word 'game' doesn't do justice to the mentality of the hunt in Finland - it is not seen as going out and having some fun, but serious job of taking care of the animal-population. This is such a foresty country that wild animals are a reality and a real threat sometime. Any wild animal can be dangerous to a human - even your little old sweet Bambi can have rabies and it is in fact a lot stronger than any man, let alone your regular forest trekker. Bobcats attack sheep, foxes give diseases to pets, bears do attack joggers. It is becoming more and more the old times when animals weren't afraid of people but vice versa. But the more cityfied a person is, the more they seem to see the beauty of nature and not the reality of it. If it hadn't been for the news article, these protesters would never even spared a thought for that "beautiful and noble animal" running around in the forest near other people and other people's children. Anyway, the hunters did their job with respect and amazement for the bobcat and the city will have it stuffed and displayed in my local library so all people and especially children can see it up close. That library already has a bear that was hunted few years earlier, and it is the first time I have ever experienced a real bear in any way, and it is massive. And I do wish that I never get to see any bear alive that close to me. I'm actually quite content with never seeing any wild animal up close. I've touched a squirrel once, that's enough for me.

More interesting news: public transportation is in strike in New York! Yay! I'm a great big fan of strikes, especially when it's something like this, the less-liked jobs like busdrivers or garbagemen or baggage-handlers. They bring the high and mighty from their ivory towers to see who and what exactly makes this world run. And their demands are justified -- we would all drown in shit if no one took care of that, and people need to acknowledge that. I also think that strikes is what separates us from ants. Worker ants will go all their life doing what they do and then they die, and the hive/nest/home prospers. With ants that works because they're not corrupt and none of the personally benefits from someting, they only benefit if the whole benefits. But people have hierarchy, and te lesser sometimes need to take the courage and kick the mightier in the knee-cap to really remind them of what all humans are.

A mysterious news article yesterday: A (possibly Finnish) man was killed and chopped in his Estonian apartment. He lived in this high and mighty expensive apartment building in central Tallin, and the landlord found him in his apartment in that sorry state after coming in with his own keys because of such a long time not being able to contact his tenant. What's interesting is that the building has uber-strict security, the tenants can't even get to any other floor than their own.
