Jack Lewis Baillot's Blog, page 78

"Sir Francis didn't make two model ships. He made three. Three ships for three sons!" "Excellent!"

 Okay, well, today I'm going to try and take place in a blog fest put on my Alex at Alex J Cavanaugh. He's an author, and a very nice fellow who always leaves me some of my favourite comments. 
 However, before I try my hand at this I must say, that my last post, you all broke my comment record of nine! So, THANKS 8-D You've really made for a grand weekend for me. I was happy with ten, but you all left me fourteen comments! You're grand. And I have two followers who don't have blogs. This makes me happy, but I wanted to let you two know. I will always answer your comments in the posts you comment on (that way you can find them easier.) Thanks to both of you by the way! It was fun getting an Anonymous comment that wasn't spam. 
 Anyhow, not back to the fest. 
 First, I think (I hope I'm doing this right), I link back to Alex's blog. http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.com Then I post the badge, which I think is this. 

 Now I list my four favourites. 
 First, my favourite Movie Genre.  This is hard. But most of the movies I like are adventure. It is probably a tie between Science Fiction and Adventure, but one can never pass up a good treasure hunt, run away from the jewel thieves movie. 

 Second, Music Genre.  Whatever Josh Groban is. His music I can listen to for all moods and all writing. And it is grand to put on while walking about on a crisp fall day with leaves falling off of trees. 
His geeky glasses make my sister and I smile.
 Third, Book Genre.  This is a tie (naughty I know.) But it is between adventure and Steampunk, which is pretty much what I write. 

 Four, List a guilty pleasure from one of the four. I'm not sure what this one means...but I will give it my best shot.  Let's do movies. I think it would be the fact that I like those dorky movies everyone else hates. The dorkier they are, the more I love them. (Sky Captain. Get Smart, TV Show. Clash of the Titans.) But those aren't in the genre I picked, except for Sky Captain. Um...oh! Sometimes I like Adventure, romantic movies. Not often, but some. Maybe this is a guilty pleasure. Or...maybe the battles. This could be guilty, because one shouldn't like battles, but I like a good battle at the end of all stories. Or chases, like in Tintin... Okay, I'm on a bunny trail with Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny. Let me try again... I don't think I have one...maybe I just don't feel guilty about them. 

 Anyhow, I hope I did this right. It was fun! And if you all don't follow Alex already you should. He always has great posts and he's nice, so that's a double...plus? However one says that. 
 Also, before I go, because this is me, I have to share what my brother shared with me. (And you wondered where I got my weirdness about the fingers.) Apparently, your brain isn't solid in your head. Like, whenever you move your head, your brain sloshes around. (Try not to think about this too much, it's given me a headache.) Also, THANK YOU! All of you! For not biting your fingers off!!
 And, that is all. 
 If you don't know what this quote is from I disown you. 
 Allons-y!

"I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood a little higher off the ground."

 First, this picture is proof of how much I like you all. I scrambled over every inch of the internet looking for it for you all - those who have not seen it. So, if you think I'm cruel for not telling my news, look at this picture and be reminded just how liked you are. in the words of Jack Sparrow (CAPTAIN!) I will NOT be doing that again!
 Also, I disobeyed orders and have completely worn myself out. BUT I've only a week to go. I should be done next Wednesday, then I'm falling over for the rest of the week before I start up my attempt at raising enough rent to keep from being kicked out on the street. 
 Let's see, what else? I think I'm FINALLY ready to watch Sherlock's death. I'm over being mad at Moffat because he had Lestrade in an Indiana Jones hat in a spaceship, with dinosaurs, with the Doctor. Though it doesn't redeem his ruining Adler, it does give me enough reason to look at him without making the following faces. 

Yeah, if I ever make an expression like this...run.
 So, anyhow, soon enough I will be bawling like the rest of the world, and Watson.

 Okay, but I'm sure you want me to get to the point and show you the picture I hunted all CyberSpace. (Also, I found out my computer is a Trekkie. A page died and it said, "He's dead, Jim!") Yep. 
 Now, I don't know how this all came about. All I know is this.... [image error] THIS is the reason my hedgehog will be named John.
 Lastly: Modern Scientists have figured out you can bite of your own finger as easily as biting a carrot in two. However, you cannot do this because your body won't let you inflict that much pain on yourself (if you've just bitten off your own finger to test it, don't blame me.) HOW they figured this out, I don't know. (I hate to think they all bit off each others fingers.) BUT now we know, Gollum had no problem in biting Frodo's finger off. Though, Frodo couldn't have done it to himself. 
 The End. 
 Good night. 
 ALLONS-Y!!! 

"Do you have any free time?" "Oh yes, lots."....."Bye!" "Right, bye."

  Since I now have most of you curious for my news, the evil side of me wishes to keep hinting at it but never disclosing it. Bad evil side...did I mention that most of my side is evil? Anyhow, I really want to do this news justice, so I can explain it without making it very complicated and leave everyone going..."Huh?" as I so common do. Therefore, I'm putting it on hold still. 
 However, I do have bad news. My mum and dad think I'm insane for wanting a baby hedgehog named John. I can't imagine why...my brothers took one look at the picture and agreed they'd never seen anything cuter. I must get my sister in on this, but since she is very logical she will probably side with my parents. 
 Anyhow, today I'm going to show you what I become while editing. This will be done through a series of songs and interpretative dances...haha. I don't dance, and if I sing you are libel to run away and never come back. So, I think I will use pictures instead. 
 Picture one: 
Look me in the eyes and say you wouldn't become a hermit too if it meant meeting him every ten years.
 As mentioned above, I become a hermit. This is the first sign of editing. I lock myself in my room and spend hours alone, tapping and alternatively yelling at my computer. I do not, contrary to popular belief, turn into an emotional grump who yells at everyone I cross paths with. This is just a myth made up by my brothers who think editing shouldn't be considered real work and who say, "Get a life." 
What I DON'T become.
 Two: Remember that post I did awhile back about people who can get away with wearing odd clothing? Well, that's pretty much how I dress. I don't spend much time putting outfits together but throw on what I have (only I don't look half as cool as Watson.) The other day I lost a sock so rather then find a new pair, I just wore one. As Sweetie puts it. "Maybe you should let your mother dress you."
Like this, but not as Classy
 Three: I turn into a mad genus, minus the genus. Whenever I cannot take the editing anymore I usually make my way to the kitchen to cause damage. So far I've put an egg in vinegar to dissolve the shell and make a bouncy ball (It works in case you want to try it, just don't squeeze the egg to hard or it blows up. Kind of nasty.) Warning: Imagine smelling a rotten egg, this is pretty much what your house will smell like - I think. I kind of had a cold during this and didn't smell much of anything, but when I opened the cupboard...it was rather nasty. I think it is worth it, not sure what my flatmate thought of it.  I've also baked a rock in the oven. (To de-germ it for Indiana). I then forgot about it, and my flatmate found it. I wonder what she thinks of my cooking skills...(Future husband, I will not feed you rocks for dinner.) My latest experiment is a banana. I took a slightly rotten banana on a car trip, then left said banana in a hot car all day. It turned black and mushy. Rather then throw it out, I've put it in the cupboard to see what happens first, mold or turning hard as a rock. Don't worry, it hasn't smelled up the flat - yet. 
I promise I won't scare my flatmate off...if I haven't frightened her already.
 Four: I eat nothing but frozen meals or instant soups. I'm not much of a cook naturally. There's not much I can eat and I find cooking a waste of time. One has to prepare the meal, eat it, and clean up after it. I'm a writer, not a chief. However, I do usually make pastas and such for dinner. While editing though, I save a ton of time by - heating food up in the microwave and living off ramen soups.
How many people really make soup that looks as pretty as this?
 Five: I spend a ton of time on Pintrest, looking up funny pictures to ease my aching brain. Those who stalk me on Pintrest already know this. Those who don't have seen the results here. (E.G. John.)
[image error] Because John is that cute. 
 Six: And that pretty much sums it up. Except for the extra burst if sanity and muttering to myself. (Everyone who is around me during this editing process, I'm NOT insane. So don't send me off to any kind of funny farm. I'll be back to my normal, weird self soon enough.)
 There, now you know...some weird things about me that really have nothing to do with anything. I'm going now. I have a book and a movie waiting for me. 
 P.S.  I've still been able to keep at two chapters a day. If I can keep at it I will be done the middle of next week. I say that carefully because whenever I'm on a roll flus like to throw themselves at me and taught me while I'm too sick to roll out of bed. So, if any flu is out there reading this, I'm battling a cold and other weird, unnamed illnesses and you should pick another victim because if you attack me I'm likely to die and then you'd feel rotten. 
 Quote is from Sherlock. He's on my mind a lot lately because it isn't fair he has a John and I haven't.  
 Allons-y!

"I'm Rory's queen...wife! I'm his wife! Don't tell him I said that."

 So, it seems I'm not the only one who thinks I need a baby hedgehog. I've even been given a name suggestion for him, John. And since one of my nicknames is Sherlock, and every Sherlock needs a John - that kind of sets it in stone. I need a pet baby hedgehog. (Just try and argue with my logic.)
 I suppose I should spend a bit more time in writing out actual writing related posts. Then again, editing should be done middle of next week, if I can hold out with doing two chapters a day still. Therefore, technically, you'll only have to endure the randomness for a little while longer. Then I will share my good/ bad news with you all. It is not good and bad news, of course, but good news with a hint of not so good in it. Kind of like, you tell someone you got out of going over seas on a dangerous, death defying bungee jump, but the only reason you got out of it is because you broke your leg jumping off the diving board. So, the person has to say, "THAT'S GREAT!" and then "THAT'S HORRIBLE!" It's really a mass of conflicting emotions and confusion.

[image error] Sometimes, being friends with an Elf can be a pain
 Don't worry, I didn't break my leg.

 And right now I'm getting off Facebook because someone things spider pictures are funny. This world needs serious help.

 Let's see, what else can I bombard you with?

[image error] This is how me and my sister look during movies. Except she just glares at me instead of stuffing popcorn in my mouth. 

 I have nothing. I'm going back to reading my book and making a feeble attempting at writing. And listening to the neighbors shout their grand, important, secret news right outside my window. Spies, they aren't.

 Quote is from the new series of Doctor who...which is fantastic because it had Lestrade in an Indiana Jones hat and dinosaurs. I think that episode is now one of my favourites and I'm sad Lestrade isn't in more of them.

 Anyhow...

 Allons-y!

"Oh man! I've got to get me one of these!"

 I have some good, not so good news. But this I will save for when my head has been cleared. For now...well, you know by now. 
 First of all, if you have a heart, you will want one of these. 
[image error]   Everyone says I need to do something nice after I'm done editing. I think I will get myself a gift. A baby hedgehog. I think the egg in vinegar might be easier to explain to my flatmate....
 Second: I changed my mind. I do have a favourite animal. It is a giraffe. Because they have sponges in their brains. Beat that. 
 Third: [image error] Just in case anyone is having a bad day. Nothing makes a bad day better faster then a kitten. Don't believe me? Go hug a kitten. 
 And now, I'm going to lay down and listen to music and read. Because I edited two chapters today and reading sounds nice. 
 Everyone should know this quote and if you don't, you're either an Alien or...dead?
 ALLONS-Y!!!!!

"You didn't find me, you collapsed a building on me."

 The following programme is once more interrupted to ask...

"What is this contraption? May I have it?"
 ALLONS-Y!!!! I'm almost halfway through editing!!!!

"I recognise the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid decision, I've elected to ignore it."

 I've been awarded, so you are saved the random picture post. You have MISS MELODY to thank for this. She has awarded me. Which is very kind of her. (Thank you, Melody. 8-))
 (I'd post the image but my computer is being mean and my brain too sleep to figure out why. But, the award is called the Liebster Award. You can find it on her blog.)
 So, here are the rules for this award. 
 1. Post Eleven Random Facts About Yourself. 
 1. I don't set clocks or watches for my time zone. I have one set for England, one for Brussels, one for Africa, and one for France I believe. So, don't ask me for the time. 
 2. I got this idea from a series I will write someday. 
 3. I don't have just one favourite animal.
 4. If there is anything I can hit my head on, or any way to hit one's head, I will do it. 
 5. This is a trait Tintin and I have in common.
6. I want to name my son Sparta so I can introduce him like, "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
 7. I can't sing the song, "I am sixteen going on seventeen, I need someone older and wiser to take care of me."
 8. Some people consider me a wild tomboy. 
 9. Others think I'm totally girly. 
 10. I have very little social skills. 
 11. I'm very observant, unless something is sticking out right in front of my nose, shouting, "HERE I AM! LOOOVE ME!"
 2. Answer the Eleven Questions you've been given and make up Eleven new ones. 
 1. What is your favourite flower?  Yellow Roses, I don't remember why...but my sister said I told her they were my favourite once and even if I can't remember why, she made them my favourite by remembering I'd once loved them. Also lilacs. 
 2. Do you plan to see The Hobbit and/or Les Miserables when they come out in December?  My mum and I are like two giddy school girls when it comes to Les Miserables. We will be the geeks sitting near the front singing along with the actors.  The Hobbit, this isn't an if but a, "How many times?" So far I have three planned viewings of it, more if I can find more friends to take before then. "Hello, random stranger. I don't suppose you'd like to go and watch The Hobbit with me?"
 3. If you could wear a dress from any period movie, what would it be? None, I'm a fellow. 
 Ahem, sorry, bad joke. I need sleep. Let's see....oh!!! I'd wear Margret's at the end of North and South, and then I'd sit in a train station hoping Thornton comes by. 
 4. Have you read any of Beverly Lewis' Amish Fiction books? No...I read the backs, figured out the plots, and grew board...I'm a hard to please reader I guess.
 5. Do you prefer Mr. Darcy or Mr. Knightley?  This is hard. I've never seen or read anything with Knightley. I've read and watched both P&P. So, I guess I'd have to say Darcy, but my sister and I are mad at him for not being Thornton...and I've heard Knightley is ten times cooler then Darcy...so maybe I should say Knightey...even though I don't know him...can I just make it simple and say Thornton?
 6. Have you ridden a horse and if so, do you regularly ride? I have ridden a great deal, but not as often as I'd fancy. I don't like riding in circles much, so I don't go as often as my brother. I'd go on a trail ride in a heart beat though. Every day. 
7. If you could time travel, what historical period would you visit? William Wallace. I'd become his own personal shadow. Though...Ben Fane during the Civil War has always been a close tie. Ben and I are friends wherein Wallace and I...I'm more like his adoring, annoying fan. 
8. What is your favourite hymn?  Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. I love the line, "Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love. Here's my heard, Lord, take and seal it. Seal it for Thy courts above." 
 9. Who is your favourite poet? Sir Percy. 
 10. Do you knit, crochet, tat, or embroider?  I attempt kitting. And crochet. 
 (Random writing fact. None of my characters crochet, ever, at all. I can never spell crochet without looking it up, and since that is a pain when one is writing on a roll, my characters have always an always shall be knitters.)
 11. What is your least favourite book? I assume it should be a book I've read and finished. I think I have a tie though, and by saying this I seal my fate and shall forever be hunted down as a traitor to the book world. 
 1. The Hunger Games. I read three or so chapters, figured out the plot for the next two books, and detested Katniss. (And just so you won't think I jumped to a hasty judgement, I looked up the plots later on. I was only off on one point and that I could have guessed if I'd given it any thought. The fact her sister dies.)
 2. Pride and Prejudice. I shall blame this on my dyslexia. I simply could not understand the plot. Also, I'd came to like Mr. Collins in the movie and in the book, he was so mean! I was crushed as he was the main ish reason I liked the movie. Lizzie bugged me, Darcy...I was so lost in most of the parts he was in. And his proposal, or lack thereof....
 Anyhow, throw the rotten tomatoes. I have Rodger's shield. 
 Now, my Eleven questions. 
 1. What is your opinion on the word Discombobulated? 
 2. Would you fight in a battle or attend to the wounded during and after it?
 3. How would it be, if you came and had tea with me?
 4. Do you think hot dogs should be considered a food or a scientific experiment gone horribly wrong? 
 5. What do you think is in Twinkies, or would you rather not know?
 6. What do you know of the Unicorn?
 7. Is the World Quiet Here?
 8. Did you read too much into that question and think I was being horribly clever and witty and asking about politics or something?
 9. Do you think someone should teach medicine companies what fruit tastes like? 
 10. ROUS', do you believe they exist?
 11. What do you mean when you say, "As you wish"?
 Lastly, tag Eleven bloggers and let them know you've tagged them. 
 I tag ABBEY, mostly because I want to see her answer to the Unicorn question. 
NESSIMA: just so she will be forced to post again
 SAMI: Simply because she's cool and fun
 UNA: Because she needs a break from her character Justin. 
 ANNE: Who is enduring the torture of editing with me
 And...that is all this time. I know, it isn't eleven but have pity on my poor brain.

 Quote is from The Avengers.

 Allons-y!!

"You want to make him happy? Shoot yourself!"

 I'm trying to edit two chapters a day instead of one. Should probably wait for my cold to pass before attempting this. But I'm not. Though, in the words of Pippin
[image error]
  Quote is from the Dick Van Dyke show. Alan is mad at Mel, and Buddy is trying to give him some not so friendly advice, as always. 
 ALLONS-Y

"He knows what he's doing...I think."

 I have two posts I've promised to write. One is on why I watched the Harry Potter movies and the other is a review on one of my new favourite movies. And I'm having a major case of da ja vu while writing this....
 Anyhow, I'm going to do my best at writing both this week. Can't promise anything. But I'll give it a shot. 
 Today, since I'm battling a cold and still have to edit, I will do the review because it is easier, takes less brain work, and is more fun. 
 This movie I learned about from Clair's blog. And the moment I saw it had Jude Law in it I decided I wanted to see it...yeah...the chap plays Dr. Watson AND Lemony Snicket, I can't help but like him. Plus, he has a cool accent. Anyhow, he wasn't my only reason for wanting to see it, but he was the main one. (It helped that it also has the girl who plays Pepper Potts in it.)
"I'm going to ask Sherlock what those things are behind me."
 According to Clair, the entire movie was filmed in front of a green screen, which is cool. Also, it was made to look like an older movie. The picture isn't very sharp and clear, kind of faded with lots of grays, which I think is brilliant. 
 Now, the title. It is called Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow. Think old superman cartoons meets WWI or WWII fighter pilot and you have the basic idea. 

 The main girl, Pepper Potts, is named Polly Perkins. She is a cute blond reporter who is very noisy, who will do whatever it takes to get her story, and who is completely disaster prone. If she can make something go wrong, she will do it. She has the ability to be annoying but something about her makes you love her. I think it is her adventurous spirit. No matter what she faces, she keeps going if it means she can write a good story. 
[image error] "How have you been, Joe? Did you miss me?" *Joe points his pistol at her. "Get out!"
 The hero, Jude Law, is named Joe Sullivan. Joe is a pilot, a fantastic pilot who flies one of the coolest planes ever invented. (I half think you should just watch the movie so you can see his plane.) Joe is bold and slightly reckless. If he thinks he can save his friends he will fight robots, fly into Tibet, climb all over frozen mountains, and chase down islands that don't exist. He really is cool, and he has a really cool leather jacket. He's also a gentleman, though sometimes not toward Polly (more on this later.)
[image error] *To Dex* "Escort Miss Perkins off the Base. If she resists...shoot her."
 Some of the other characters are Dex, Joe's geeky inventor friend who loves comics and bubble gum. Frankie (Angelina Jolie), who I will always believe is Nick Fury's mum (she's a...seriously, the best way to describe her. She's a SHIELD agent before SHIELD was around.) Then the Editor, who is cool even though he had, like, five minutes in the whole movie. He's a famous actor who has played in Doctor Who, (The Christmas Carol). He played Dumbledore in Harry Potter, Mr. Woodhouse in Emma, Mr. Holbrook in Cranford, and some chap in Wives and Daughters. (I say all that so you will want to watch it.)
[image error] *While looking at a robot. Speaking to Joe.* "You said it was big...can I have it?"*Sees Joe pointing his pistol at Polly.* "So glad we made up."
Frankie. She even had a helicarrier thing.*When she sees Polly for the first time.* "What is that?"
 So, anyhow, really fast, the plot. The movie is set after WWI. All over brilliant Scientist are disappearing. Polly is working on the story, but while she is, giant robots come to New York and other big cities, tearing them apart and taking things like coal, electrical things, and so forth. Joe is called in to fight them, and when Dex is taken he teams up with Polly to find out what is going on, find the Scientists, and save his best friend. 
*Joe to Polly when she wants to fly with him.* "I'm coming with you!" "You're stupid. Remember what happened last time you flew with me?"
 Now, first off, I will say what I didn't like about this movie. Because it is best to get the bad out first.  There was some language in it, but not a lot from what I remember. 
*While they're flying.* Joe: "Are you okay?" Polly: "I'm fine." "You don't look so good."
 One scene caught me off guard. While in Tibet Polly gets into trouble (surprise) and almost gets her, Joe, and a friend killed. They escape but a bomb explodes behind them and they all are knocked out. Next scene shows Polly in a bed, covered with a quilt, but with no clothing. Joe is with her, and at first it looks really bad. But it turns out these monks found all three, burned their clothes because they have bad thoughts in them (batty Tibet Monks) and put them in a bed. So, this scene wasn't great, but at least nothing bad happened in it. 
*Flying through New York* Polly: "Turn right!...back there." Joe: "I could use a little more warning."
 What I loved.  Joe's aeroplane. 
Polly: "Go left!" Joe: "We're going around in circles!" Polly: "Will you trust me." Joe: "It's a dead end." Polly: "That's not supposed to be there!"
 Polly and Joe's relationship. Now, I'm not crazy about romantic movies, which is probably why I like this so well. Joe and Polly loved each other but got into a fight before the movie starts. She thinks he was with another girl and he thinks she sabotaged his plane. Neither believes the other when they say they didn't do it.  So, anyhow, even though they like each other in the movie they torment each other a lot and it turns out to be really funny. Polly insists on flying with Joe and when she gets motion sick he just kind of snickers because he told her not to come along.  Polly acts all smug around him just to annoy him and won't tell him all the information she has, which leads to them almost getting blown up later.  In one of the last scenes Joe has to go stop the world from ending and likely will die. Polly insists on coming but he won't let her, so he kisses her, then decks her to knock her out. She follows him, of course, later on, then punches him for revenge.  Yet, in spite of all their "hating" of each other they are very fond of one another and Joe is always trying to protect Polly, who is always getting into trouble. 
"Good boy, Dex." Somehow, the way Joe is always saying this, makes Dex sound like a puppy.
 I LOVED the outfits. So spy ish and cool. 
*Polly meeting one of Joe's friends.* "I don't trust him." "Funny, he said the same thing about you."
 Dex. Dex is just brilliant. 
*Joe, speaking to some bad guys who are threatening to kill Polly* "I told you, I don't know what you're talking about. You'll just have to kill us."
 During one scene Joe has to fly his plane through New York while Polly sits behind him and shouts out directions. Whoever thought up this scene should be given a medal. Fantastic idea. 
[image error] *Joe and Polly are about to be blown up and are hiding behind some creates.* "Polly, this could be our last moment together. There's something I have to ask you." "Yes, Joe?" "Did you cut my fuel line?" "I didn't sabotage your lousy plane!"
 So, anyhow, this movie has done poorly from what I've heard, which is sad. I think it is because everyone wants movies to change their lives, to leave them feeling inspired or crushed or full of emotions. This movie won't do that. It is just a fun, adventurous movie. Which I think is just as nice as movies like The Lord of the Rings. I would recommend it, and the ending! The ending is the best movie ending I think I've ever seen. Or close enough. 
Joe: "Can we for once die without all this bickering?"
 Anyhow, go into it, expecting Superman, spies, and nothing too serious or believable (unless you have a good imagination) and you're likely to like it. And, it has Jude Law...
*Joe after Polly has to wear a very hairy robe the Monks give her.* "I think you look like a woolly mammoth."
 Okay, I'm going now. I have to redo something in my book, so I really need to get at it. (I'm rubbish at escape plans.) But I'll leave you with more lines and pictures, because I have some left over.
*Polly, speaking about her camera.* "I can't believe this is happening! I only have two shots left!"
*While flying over the ocean.* Polly: "Is that light supposed to be on?" Joe: "Everything is fine." Polly: "We're out of fuel, aren't we?"
*Polly and Joe end up on an island and see a dinosaur. Polly goes to take a picture of it, then stops.* Joe: "You're not going to photograph that?" Polly: "I've only two shots left. Who knows what's waiting for us." "Suit yourself."
*Polly almost dies because she runs back for her camera when she and Joe are being attacked so he scolds her and she begins to cry.* Joe: "Oh...it's okay." Polly: "No." "I didn't mean-" "I shot the ground." "What?" "While we were running. I shot the ground. I only have one shot left." *Joe laughs*
Joe: "What is it with you and that stupid camera anyways?"
*Joe when Polly won't use her last picture.* "You honestly think you're going to find something more important then every animal on earth being lead two-by-two into a giant rocket ship?" "I might." "Like what?"
*Joe is using a gun Dex made while the others hide behind a statue for cover.* Dex: "Hey, that's my gun." *The gun stops working.* Joe: "DEX!" Dex: "Try shaking it."
*Dex unplugs an electrical weapon* Joe: "Is it safe?" Dex: "Well, there's only one way to find out." *Joe and Polly walk over it.* Dex: "I meant throw something."
 Quote is from the movie, when Joe runs out to fight off a robot and someone asks Dex if he will be all right.
 ALLONS-Y!!!

"My memory isn't what it used to be." "And what did it use to be?" "I don't remember."

 Today's My Brain Is Too Tired From Editing Post. Can't say I didn't warn ye. (The prologue is still in the post below if you wish to read it.)
 First off, to all the superheroes out there. When parts of buildings come crashing down on my head I won't stand there and scream, I'll get out of the way. So you don't have to worry about saving me when you could be stopping some funky looking Aliens from shooting millions of people. But I'll only do this if you stop by and say hi later.

 Now, to get down to business. Today's post is all about fellows. And not just any fellows, but fellows who can pull off funky looking clothing. This is a rare gift and should be acknowledged.

 First up is Mr. Bell from North and South. He dresses very normal on the top, it is his pants that are funky. However, I cannot find a picture of his pants...so watch the movie. (Though I know most of you already have. I have such brilliant readers.)

 Next up is David Tennant, who can dress funky in real life and in movies and still look cool.

 BEHOLD! David Tennant in The Decoy Bride!

Observe the plaid bell bottom pants.  The shaggy, burnt brown vest. The...shirt...yeah, it is kind of those, you have to believe it to see it.
 Now, if you were to pass a man walking down the street dressed thus you would think, "Who's the loon who escaped the funny farm?" David Tennant, however...he somehow pulls it off. 
Reddish...velvet jacket with purple ish tie.
Reddish velvet suit
Totally cool
Not sure what to say about this one. Teenage clothing with Sherlock's skull?
Overly large sleeves
Dangerously high collar
Okay, kilts are cool on all men, but still
I know, I know. His outfit is very normal, and cool...BUT HE HAS A KITTEN!!


 After Tennant we have a tie. Because these two go together. Fred and George
Bright...silk...yellowish vest. Purple doesn't work on most men, but yellow works on even less. 
Not so bad, sweeter vests. Unless you are the every day man
Sixties looking plaid
The hats...fits their expressions. Or their expressions fit the hats...
Again, not so odd. But on any other fellow, nope
I know, all the brothers had sweaters like this, but these two look coolest in them. 
80 ish type clothing, which looks good on few people. Trust me, I should know.
Yep.
There's another, but for the life of me I cannot find it. And it was the reason I'm writing this post. I'll keep my eyes opened and share it later if I find it. Clair and Katie probably know which it is. 

 This chap I wasn't planning on putting onto this list. But this outfit kind of fits. His name is Wood, again from Harry Potter. He's a handsome fellow, no denying that, and since he is handsome he could wear anything he fancied and no one would notice as they'd be too busy looking at his face. So I suppose he doesn't count. But this sweater, again, not many can pull it off.

 Next up is for Clair specially. Dr. John H. Watson.

The kitten jumper. One needs to ask Clair about t his.

The French jumper

 Now, last on my list, and the only girl, is Luna Lovegood. Again, for most girls, these outfits just wouldn't work. But, somehow, they look pretty on her. Maybe it's her hair. 











 And there it is, the end of my list. Who would you add?

 So, now that I have you all hoping I finish editing soon so I will stop these random, weird posts, I will give you a tiny bit if hope and then crush it. I made it to chapter five, and I have to redo all five pretty much. I might be getting the hang of it though, I've been reading through a lot of young adult books to see if I can figure it all out. Don't hold your breath though. 
 Now, I am going to bed. And if you don't know what the title is from...I disown you. Okay, maybe not, but near enough. I'll move to Mars and mourn you. 
 Yes, I need sleep. 
 ALLONS-Y!!!
