The Man that Became a Bat

So I finally watched Batman. The new ones with Christian Bale (who is from the UK, which I would have never guessed). They were fabulous! The only thing I didn't like was how Rachel was a different actress in The Dark Knight. That really bothered me. But I got over it.

But what I loved most about Batman is the Joker. I think he is my favorite villain. And for some reason I never caught that these characters in the movies don't have super powers. I have no clue why it took me 16 years to figure that out. But I found that to be intriguing.

Anywho, back to the Joker. I never thought of the Joker as a real person. I never really thought he had a relatively normal life. But then it went down hill. What I found interesting was how his father was the one who influenced him in such a way that the Joker decided to be the bad guy. And that his father was the first one to say "Why so serious?" His father also gave him his signature scars.

Another thing that amazed me was that the Joker actually showed up at one point with no make-up (I also never realized it was make-up). It really caught me off guard. He looked normal. That is if you removed the scars and the menacing look...

He also had a wife. And she left him. No he did not kill her, she left. I found that baffling.

But the sad thing is that the actor that played the Joker so well passed away before the film was released. That's sad because he really did an amazing job playing the Joker. He really managed to get into the twisted mind frame of the Joker and still bring real human emotion to the character. But really the Joker only has to emotions, anger and laughter. But still.

So on that note, why so serious?

Newly Discovered

So I found this website called Polyvore. It's basically a website for people to share outfit ideas I guess. I just did my first outfit today. Though, it really isn't an outfit. I was just testing it out and exploring the site. So I made more of a art piece, I guess you could say. 


But the cool thing is it gives you hundreds of item pieces and tells you "wear" (sorry, I just had to make that joke) to buy them. So this dress in my "thingy-do" that I made is from dorothyperkins.com and is $55. So if I ever get a spare $55, I may buy this dress because I love it so much. But I hate ordering clothing online because I can't try it on. Anywho, that's besides the point. 

I think I'm going to like this site. But it's just another time waster, so I don't know how often I'll use it. But I will try to use it because I like fashion and I can style outfits, which is what I do best. The only problem is I'll never get to wear it. Oh well.

"Fact about orange: it's a lonely fruit. 
Pick an orange up at your local market or a crayon box.
Thank you. 


"Today's topic is yogurt (\ˈyō-gərt\). I'm going to be talking about what I did to my yogurt. How I made it my own. Because nobody likes plain old yogurt. Making yogurt fit to your needs is what should be done. Notice the picture on your TV screen.

"I added granola for some crunch. Because no ones likes liquid yogurt. I also added some delicious strawberries for color. Oh no, that aren't just for show. They had the summer twist you need against the cold, harsh and frigid yogurt. And to top it off I added heavens creation - chocolate. 


"But don't be fooled by this complex creation. Don't think it's a parfait. Let us look together and see what the definition of a "parfait" is."

par·fait 

 noun \pär-ˈfā\

1 : a flavored custard containing whipped cream and syrup frozen without stirring

     2

 : a cold dessert made of layers of fruit, syrup, ice cream, and whipped cream

"So as you can see, a parfait is made with ice cream. But I have selected yogurt as my choice. So my creation shall be called by it's proper title - Yofait. 

"Join us next time for the discussion on the topic of (insert topic here)."

Today's word is: Odious


I wanted to start this post out with a word of the day. I've had this word in my head all day. It just keeps repeating itself. Odious, odious, odious, odious, odious, and so on until I say it out loud.


Now on to the second reason I posted. Idol.


Yes American Idol. I only know of one person that objects to watching a second of this show. And that's my sister. But I don't blame her. I wouldn't watch it either but somehow, every single year of the 10 years it was on, I watched it. Even when I didn't want to. I just did. And this year I watched it again. Even though my favorites all go home first and the one I didn't want to win wins, I still watch it. I think the reason why is because we have for almost 11 years. It was a part of my life that I look back on. I look back at each year I watched and saw how little I grew (I just got a kids menu about 2 weeks ago, she didn't even ask), how much anticipation I had to come home and watch it, practically yelling at the judges, yelling at the contestants. There's something about watching Idol that makes me reflect on the fact that another year has passed.
   I'm not a big fan on change. I mean, I always sit in the same seat, I always sleep the same way, I always study my book in rainbow order, and the list goes on. So I think cutting out Idol that's been with me for 10 years would be to much of a change for me.


And now I realize how easy it is to blab on a blog.


Here's a cat.

First Post

Well I made this blog because of two reasons: to use it to enter giveaways from other blogs, and to just see what having a blog is like. Sorry if I disappointed you.


So this blog may just be a bunch of completely random posts because I myself, am random.


Here's a kiwi.


~Enjoy...
