Clocked LocoRoco wahooo!

Oh I know, it's an easy game but still, finishing something is always satisfying. Right? Why are game achievements more satisfying than life? Maybe it's because life is hard to control and many achievements in life can be taken from you by others.... Maybe! Or maybe it's the pretty colours and guns that video games have!

Paper in Europe, and obesity.

Apparently almost 70% of paper in Europe is collected and recycled. Also apparently: forests in Europe are 30% larger than they were in 1950. It seems like good news and since bad news is our everyday diet, I accept this good news! Thank you, pamphlet that I saw somewhere...
Speaking of diet, I have thought for some time that the global obesity issue is largely (sorry) due to lack of regulation of food costs and junk food manufacturers basically having free rein. We can't afford to eat well most of the time. And many manufacturers put sugar and additives into food that doesn't need these things added. So! There has been a study done by a cancer foundation (I think that's who it was) and they seem to be confirming my suspicions. I just hope it leads to something good happening. E.g. Cheaper fruit and vege and higher costs for junk food! Then we can't make excuses about not eating right. Wow, that last sentence was grammatically confusing. Ah well!

Quite surprised to find this out

Samurai Pizza Cats is still good!
How about that. The ad-libbing is the best. I wonder if Voltron is still as good as it was...

No offense to a certain actor, I promise. Also tomorrow is my birthday.

Opinions again.
Just irrelevant nonsense really.

Three things:
Firstly, Star Trek Into Darkness didn't really make sense most of the time and also it was kinda boring. Disappointed.
Secondly, Wolverine was only cool in the first X Men movie. After that it was kinda like he lost his edge. Haha should try to make a joke out of that somehow but frankly it isn't worth it; just like watching almost every X Men movie ever isn't worth the price of a movie ticket.
Thirdly, why don't I like Benediction Cucumber? I don't know... probably because in Sherlock -*SPOILER ALERT I guess...*
 Some (most of) the moments that should have been amazing just boil down to 'Sherlock somehow intimidates his opponent with logic that is really just building up their emotion and and bluffing right when they think they win, not real logic and they crumble like stale bread, every time. Even though they shouldn't because after you watch them give up and or die, you think, "But wait, that didn't really make sense..." and stuff.'
Also BC is unattractive in quite a few ways. The best thing he has going for him is his voice. I guess you could say I believe that he has the perfect face for radio?
...he's a great guy though. Not saying I hate him, I just don't think he's as great as his fans seem to squee that he is.

Oh, on an unrelated note which will make this four things instead of three but whatever; the Total Recall remake SUCKED!!!!!!!!! I like Colin Farrell kinda, but really! I think the TR reboot was the WORST remake I have EVER seen. It was just SO disappointing!
All the Terminators after T 2 were better than the TR remake. And they were not great. Although the one with Sam Worthington (is that his name? Australian guy who always seems to shave his head for some reason), Terminator Salvation, right? That one was interesting. I wouldn't say it compares to the first two but still it was interesting. But to resume, yes, the Total Recall remake was the worst remake EVER so far in the history of film. I am not sure if anyone else thinks so but this is my blog so everyone else's opinion is obviously irrelevant.

Right. Well, it's my birthday tomorrow. I will be 34. I think... yes! 34 or 35. I lost count...
Anyway, it's not really important but last night a meteor came past my country very close. Very CLOSE. I wonder if it's a sign. I doubt it. Even if it is a sign, nobody can ever agree on what a sign means,. everyone has a different reason to want the sign to back up their agenda so whatever. I'm claiming it. This year is going to be a year of change for me. No matter what.
I was going to say it will be superlative but that's just because i wanted to use the word superlative which I never get to use very often. Superlative.
Right.
Glad we cleared that up.

Andrew Scott in Sherlock

Oh, for goodness sake, I just fell in love with Andrew Scott's Moriarty in the tv series Sherlock and then he died. Now I hear he may or may not return. Quit messing me around! I'm not watching Season 3 if he isn't in it. Not a fan of Cumberbatch. Freeman is ok. If I hear that Scott is actually in episodes after Season 3, I am back in. So apparently I now have to wait for 2016. ARGHHHHHH annoying! This is why I don't watch most tv shows! The good ones either progressively worsen or they take forever and a day to bring out the next season. :( why is so much mindless crap churned out at a rate of knots? Unfair.

Best Disney couple ever

Aladdin and Jasmine are the best Disney couple ever. They are both well-rounded, interesting characters, even in comparison with say, Rapunzel and Flynn. So yup. That's it.

Doctor Problems

First problem : People only do what the doctor says when they feel like it. This must be somewhat an invalidating and frustrating thing to deal with.

Second problem : Being a doctor does not make you intelligent. Fortunately for most doctor's egos, many doctors make the mistake of assuming that a doctor's qualifications automatically make them more intelligent than almost everyone else. Thus they do not feel any loss of self esteem.

R.I.P Monty Oum

Awwww I just discovered who you are! I was going to have a good look at all your work, I only saw RWBY Season One. YOU LEGEND. Monty you were awesome, I really liked your eye for design. And we are the same age too. Argh your presence online will be missed. Goodbye Monty. I'm going to check out all your stuff, I promise. I will look you up on Rooster Teeth. :(

Ugly books

I hate ugly writing. So-called prose in which the writer gabbles at you or mumbles words or spits venomously at you. I don't care if those styles are popular devices, or modern or post-modern or neo-post-modern. I don't care if it's considered to be clever. I won't read trashily written stuff like that because it literally makes me sick to my stomach. How people read half the rubbish they read is beyond me. The Americans seem to be the worst. There's a general awfulness  about the junk most American writers from the 20th century churn out. Mass-produced paperbacks printed on cheap paper stock that smells unpleasant with ink that sometimes rubs off if you touch it. That was a clumsy sentence. I'm good at those. Let me cover myself here, I am not attacking American authors. Rex Stout was great. So are many others. There are English writers and New Zealand writers I also can't stand. It's just lately I keep getting disappointed by American books. I hate poorly written, ugly, graceless books that are about horrible people doing horrible things to other people who may or may not also be horrible. There is no need for books like that because real life has enough of that. I want to read something that will lift my spirits. I want to read something that is written well enough that sometimes I may be lost in the writing as much as I am in the actual plot. I want to read about characters that I could actually like. Books are like food for the mind and the spirit. Thats why I want to consume something good. Call me a book gourmand. Some may call me a snob. But that would not be true. Anyone from any genre can fit my needs. Childrens books, biographies, any fiction or non-fiction. If written well, even simple fare is satisfying. The same as food.
