THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY!

I was reading my brand new copy of Girlfriend today... And I came across a book review. Now, I love books especially when the author of the book is famous other than being an author.
i.e. I like Strauchanie's book and he isn't an actual author.

This particular book (that I found in the Girlfriend mag) is called The Umbrella Academy. It caught my eye because of the word 'umbrella' because of the Rihanna song.

I want to read this book cos it sounded cool and weird.

Go and read this book. Now! X]

If you need help finding it: The author is Gerard Way and it would be in the 'fiction' section of a bookshop. =]

FANTALES ARE PRETTY AWESOME...

I learn stuff from Fantales...

Did you know that David Jones was a band member in the Monkees?

Well, he was. And David Bowie used to be David Jones but he didn't want people to confuse him with the Monkees guy. =]

Dale Thomas is in South Africaa...
With Dean Gey-er...

Well, Dale IS in South Africa. I don't know about Dean... It just rhymed. Sort of.
I find rhyming stuff so amusing. Fun.
I made up more lines to the song 'cept it doesn't rhyme. But I'll show thee anyway.

Dale Thomas is in South Africaa...
With Dean Gey-er...
Straightening their hair-air...
Painting each other's nailsss...

Yeah, I couldn't think of anything else.
Guess what? I'm going to school on Thursday. Year 11. Ew.
Everytime I say my subjects, people are like, "Eww!"
And I'm like, "I'm only doing two maths and two sciences and other things..."
And then their breakfast comes up when I mention 'maths'...
Well, not really. But still.

Are you for serial?
No, I'm for toast.

^^^-- My breakfast rant. X]
It is cool. 'Serial' is a mix between 'serious' and 'real'... I had to explain that, just in case you are living in a hole..
Anyway, if I had to choose a colour to go on my hair, I'd NOT choose 'chocolate'... Because then I might eat my hair. Mmm.. Chocolate... =]
I'd choose.. Um... Blonde. To match my mental status. Tee hee.

That's one doodle that can't be undid, homeskillet.

What does 'homeskillet' mean? *Pulls out a dictionary*

Homeskillet- noun - A really close friend closer then your buddy or friend. Homies, cool people.

Oh yeah. What's cracking, homeskillet? Lol, me and Dale are homeskillets.
Sorry, people. I got carried away.

You know what? It is quite easy to get your face in the Herald Sun for weeks and weeks...
Okay. Step-by-step guidelines.
1. Organise a date when your parents are away.
2. Invite all your friends around that day
3. Make sure there is lots of alcohol. (You don't want to run out.)
4. Go down to the pub and invite all those people.
5. Go down to Narre Warren, Victoria. (So many scums down there.)
6. Invite Corey and his mates.
7. Make sure your guests trash your house. (That's why you need alcohol so people get drunk.)

Only SEVEN steps! Simple.
Just comment this post (and leave your name) and I'll look out for you in the newspaper.
Hee Hee...

TIMMY COMMANDEUR...

Yes. He is the best. And awesome too. =]

According to my sources, his birthday is the 22nd June 1990. Three years and one day younger than Dale Thomas. They are seriously twins. Well, not twins. Maybe brothers.

Like, for example, I am four months and one day younger than Matty Corby. We ARE twins. He just needs to admit it.

I got an Ipod cover a few days ago. Whoa. Mega exciting news. Lol. It is a clear one and it was only 17 bucks or something. There was a cheaper cover there too. But it was made of a different material. The floppy material. Yeah.

OMG. I watched the tennis last night. Good times. The Serbian guy won of course. If you can beat freaking Federer than you can beat ANYONE. X]

Tennis shoes sounds the same as ten issues. Did Amandah think of that herself? Genius...

Does anyone watch Survivor? Anyone at all?? =]

I do. It amuses me. So does the Amazing Race but we can talk about that on Friday.

Back to Survivor, though. My favourites in this season are : Courtney (she is dying from malnutrition), Todd (snort), Amanda and Frosti (he already left).

I DO NOT like: Peih Gee. (pronounced PG - as in Parental Guidance)

Anyway. I should leave you now. Farewell. =]

Movie Review - Juno

Vitals
Stars: Ellen Page, Michael Cera
Genre: Comedy
Rated: M
Average Critic Score: 4.5 Stars (out of 5)
My Score: 4.5 Stars (out of 5)

I absolutely loved this movie. It was written by the awesome Diablo Cody, and definately the funniest movie I've seen in a while. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is a unique, and very funny movie.
I loved all the witty one-liners (see quotes below!), and how there wasn't a typical story line and ending. The characters were also amazing.

***WARNING!*** Spoilers may follow!
Juno is a 16-year-old witty and rather strange girl, who has just found that she is pregnant. The father is Bleaker, a dorky guy at her school with bright yellow shorts (how I love those shorts) and a love of Orange Tic-Tacs.
After three pregnancy tests and a whole lotta pee, Juno calls her friend, Leah, and then arranges for an abortion. But Juno backs out at the last minute. Leah suggests that they look in the newspaper for parents wishing to adopt ("Desperately seeking spawn!").
And so Juno meets Vanessa and Mark, and the pregnant-ness begins!

Miri's Fave Quotes From Juno...
"That ain't no Etch-A-Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be undid, homeskillet."

"You better pay for that pee stick when you're done with it. Don't think it's yours just because you've marked it with your urine!"

Juno - They have ads for parents?
Leah - Yeah! Desperately seeking spawn.

"I was hoping she was expelled or into hard drugs."

Vanessa - Hi! I'm Vanessa, you must be Juno, Mr. MacGuff. Hi. Vanessa.
Juno - It's, uh, Vanessa, right?

"If I could just have the thing and give it to you now, I totally would, but I'm guessing it looks probably like a sea monkey now, and we should let it get a little cuter."

"You should've gone to China. You know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know, they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events."

Vanessa - Your parents are probably wondering where you are.
Juno - Nah. I mean, I'm already pregnant, so what other shenanigans can I get up to?"

"I am a sacred vessel, alright? All you've got in your stomach is Taco Bell."

Bleaker - I still have your underpants!
Juno - I still have your virginity!

"They were talking about it in health class, how pregnancy, it can often lead to an infant."

Oh and in the Indian team, there is also a really cool guy with really cool hair. His name is Sharma and he is ALSO a bowler.
Now, this dudes aren't hot. So don't go up to them and ask for their babies or something. 'Cause that is just too wrong. Even if you are 16 and Sharma is only freaking 19.
Yes. Sharma is only 19. Pretty young, right? Compared to Brett Lee and Gilly and what not.
This blog post is so freaking looong. X]
Who watches the tennis here?
"Come on," said Lleyton Hewitt.
I wanted Casey Dellacqua to win. *sniff* She came from WA. That is where Gilly comes from.

Movie Review... =]

I saw three movies on the holidays. And I'll be reviewing them all. (Even if Miri has already reviewed one of them..)

27 DRESSES
I walked into the cinema with no idea what this movie was about. I went to see it with my cousin.
It was so good. Like a chick flick but with comedy.
About: A girl named Jane who loves weddings. She is the maid of honour/bridesmaid for 27 weddings so she has 27 different dresses. Then her sister comes to New York, steals Jane's dream guy and gets married. Watch it to find out more. No spoilers available.
Starring: Katherine Heigl
Useless Information: Jane falls in love with a guy called Kevin. Everytime they said 'Kevin,' in my head, I was like, "KEVIN '07!!!"

I AM LEGEND
I saw this movie 'cause Alvin and Chipmunks wasn't running that day.
Starring: Will Smith (I think)
About: Some guy who finds a cure for cancer and wakes up one morning being the only one alive.
Useless Info: Will Smith knows EVERY line in Shrek. So do I. Coincidence?
And this movie has SO much action, horror and thrills in it that I had my eyes shut fro pretty much the WHOLE freaking movie..

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS
My favourite movie out of the three. X]
Voices: Jesse McCartney as Theodore.
About: A guy who writes songs but can't find a singer. Then he discovers three chipmunks who cbf storing food for winter so they live with this guy and help him with his music career.
Useless Info: Theodore is adorable. And the other chipmunks are Simon and Alvin. And it is SO freaking funny. X]

R.I.P, Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger was found dead earlier today in his New York appartment.
It is thought that he overdosed on sleeping pills.

Heath's last movie role was the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie, and was also in movies such as 10 Things I Hate About You and Brokeback Mountain.

We wish his friends, family, and fans peace in this difficult time.

Celebrity Profile: Ryan Ross

Ahh, a brand new celebrity profile! This time the victim (heheheh!) is Mr. Ryan Ross!
Right now probably isn't a good time for me to profile him, seeing as he is probably the one behind Panic!* At the Disco's secrecy regarding their new album, Pretty. Odd., and I am very angry about it all, but we'll see how we go...

Full Name: George Ryan Ross
AKA: Ryan Ross, Ryan, Ry, RyRo. Also notable is his bandmate, Brendon, and his occasional "slash" name - Rydon Dirteh. Teeheeheee! Those crazy fanfic writers!
D.O.B: 30th August 1986 (age 21)
Signifigant Achievements: Plays guitar and writes lyrics for band Panic!* At the Disco, does eye make-up rather well for a (disputed) male, is friends with Pete Wentz (if you can call that signifigant).
Not-so-signifigant Achievements: Dating internet "celebrity" (and "model") Jac Vanek, who reportedly cheated on him (dieeee!). He later said about her "saying you're a model/photographer with a digital camera and photoshop does not count you as an artist". Ouch! He's now apparantly dating some chick named Keltie Colleen, who seems nice, and jumped out of a cake at his 21st birthday party (hilarious photo ahoy!).
Stalker Rating: Moderately High - Although he doesn't have the paparazzi on his back at all times, we can all pretty much agree that he is one gorgeous dude. Even I would probably want to have his babies if I weren't against procreation, and I'm totally anti-fangirl.
"How can I become one of the said stalkers?": He's a bit hard to catch these days, but you might be able to read some of his blogs on www.panicatthedisco.com when it gets back up from being all puzzle-like.
Other (un)Nessecary Information:
Ryan plays a guest guitar solo in Fall Out Boy's song The Take Over, The Break's Over, on their album Infinity On High.
Also, click here to witness Pete Wentz dressed up as Ryan Ross for Halloween. Hm.
Photographic Evidence:
Ryan Ross - Photo Hosted at FriendsOrEnemies
"Oldschool" Ryan Ross plays guitar, wears hidious iconic rose vest, and makes funny facial expression, all at the same time!


*although P!ATD have taken away the "!" from their name, I am keeping it there as a form of protest.

Pete Wentz Lets His Political Views Hang Out.

So at first I thought Pete Wentz supporting Barack Obama in America's presidential election was, well, a little odd.
But then I remembered he dropped out of political science at university, so I guess it's not that weird.
In his Super Secret Magical Blog, he also said something along the lines of "you'll probably be bored by this, so just skip to buying the t-shirt".
Thanks, Pete. Because I can't do politics in VCE and like Fall Out Boy at the same time.
He's also posted new photos of a cool new Clandestine Industries hoodie on his Buzznet, and posted a few answers to questions (kind of depressing ones, for some reason) and journals on the Fall Out Boy website.

Hee, look at me - keeping everyone updated with their Wentz news.

PS: I apologize for the lack of blogging. I was on holiday with limited Sidekick reception and I think Laura's on holidays too.

OPERATOR PLEASEEE!!!


Oh yeah. The best band in the universe. X]

See the picture where they are sitting on a couch? The one in the middle (Taylor) has really cool pink legging type things.

The boy sitting next to Taylor is TIMOTHY!! Who is so cute. He looks like a 13 year old. 'Cept he is a year older then me.

Speaking of people older then me, did you know Matt Corby is FOUR months older than me. =]

Scary... We are practically the same age except he can sing so well and I can't sing at all. Sad, isn't it?

Movie Review - I Am Legend

Vitals
Stars: Will Smith, and a really cute dog.
Genre: Sci-Fi, Thriller (sometimes appears more Horror).
Rated: M
Average Critic Score: 7.5 Stars (out of 10)
My Score: 3.5 Stars (out of 5)

I actually enjoyed this movie quite a lot.
It is based on an old book of the same name, which I have not read. However, I like to distant movies from books they were based on, simply because they often change it a lot, and you're going to be let down if you compare the two.
I liked the way this movie didn't reveal everything at once, and there were flashbacks throughout the film. It created magnificent suspense.

*WARNING* Spoilers may follow!
The story is, basically, about the "sole" surviver of a virus break out (it was initionally thought to cure cancer) on Earth. We find out that our sole surviver is Dr. Robert Neville, who pretty much caused said virus breakout. He is kept company by his dog, Sam (who ends up dying :'[).
He is technically not alone. There are zombie/vampire-like creatures (that used to be humans) with the virus. They like killing and stuff. Also, they only come out at night
Neville, being a doctor and all, is trying to find a cure for this, with little success.
After his dog, Sam, is killed by Freaky Virused Vampire Zombie Dogs, Neville also tries to kill himself via Freaky Virused Vampire Zombies. He is saved by a woman named Ana and her son Ethen, who are on their way to a supposed colony of survivers.
Neville ends up finding a cure for the virus, and gives his life to kill the Freaky Virused Vampire Zombies.
A new world is created, and Ana and Ethen find the colony.


Overall, I suggest you go see it - it's not the best movie ever, but it is enjoyable.

I Am Legend is in cinemas now.

Polyvore

Polyvore is a great fashion website that allows you to choose from thousands of clothes, shoes and accessories to create your own outfits.
The best thing is, they all come from real online stores, so you can buy them!
Here's one I made using my current obsession with silver and teal:


Go check it out!

Panic! At the Disco NEW STUFF!

No, there's no video.But there is a rough version of a new song which they posted on MySpace (click here to hear it!).I actually kind of like it.I first heard it and was like "FAIL.", but after listening to it several times, it got stuck in my head. I kind of get the Beatles influence they were talking about, too (although that's totally wrong, because the Beatles influence everyone, they broke boundries in music and if you're going to be influenced by the Beatles you should be making unusual music, but I'll stop ranting).The songs you grow to like/never stick at first and what not.To be honest, it's not as good as, say, Build God Then We'll Talk.But anyway.If you go to the band's" official website, the source code says "We're So Starving" (the name of the new song), and if you hover your mouse over some of the pieces it plays bits of the song. But you can listen a longer version on Panic!'s MySpace (provided with the first link).Hooray!
