Bloggaday 31 – More Fun with BDSM

Bloggaday 31 – More Fun with BDSM

So on Bloggaday 18, I introduced you all to the fun of BDSM, a Tshirt that I recently got. I’ve included pictures of the front and back his time round. If you want information on the shirt, you can follow this link to Bloggaday 18 and even read the limerick I wrote that inspired the shirt. http://thebloggaday.blogspot.com/2010/03/bloggaday-18-fun-of-bdsm.html
The shirt itself is a little small on me, but I’ll live. If you include the hand made version, I’ve only worn to school. Even that has encountered fun time. I wore it to a presentation in my human sexuality class. It was a group presentation, so when someone in the class pointed it out and I went through the shirt I disrupted like 5 other people :).
I’ve had two teachers (the first of which was my creative writing teacher, so this was in response of the poem, not the shirt) not know what BDSM was. Oh how the hilarity ensued. We went over the poems in class, so it was like 15 or 20 college students and one teacher trying to get a definition of what it was. The second teacher came up to me in class and asked about the shirt. I read the front and back to her, to which she responded, wouldn’t corn be more clever? (I’m not 100% positive on the wording, but that was the gist). Only a couple of students were privy to this conversation which ended with saying she was going to go to her fiancé and have him explain it.
I still think the best response was from a student though. It was a girl I sat by in English. We talked in class, and when I came in with the shirt, she didn’t reference it, but she started on a line questions asking if I was vegetarian, do I eat boco burgers, etc… Now, I am not a vegetarian, nor do I eat boco burgers, so she finally asked why I was wearing the shirt. I told her it more of asexual joke on BDSM. Now her response is much funnier in the context of actually knowing her and her way of speaking, but if it rivals me and a hot rocker chick explaining it to an older teacher, then I was highly amused at the situatino. She said, "That's that kinky sex, right?" I know on paper it might not look like much, but it was very very funny. I hate to use such a BS expression as "You had to be there," so I won't.
I'll be sure to update future bloggadays if I get any other great reactions. I'll be at the hospital today to get a physical, so whackiness may ensue.

Happy St. Patty’s Day

Bloggaday 30 – A List in Disneyland

Bloggaday 30 – A List in Disneyland

Alright, I am going to go see Alice in Wonderland in a little bit. 2nd 3d movie evar FTW. I figured I would give a run down of Disney movies in… honor? Horror? Hope? Meah. Comments are made on each. This is part 1 because there are a lot of Disney movies apparently


Alice In Wonderland
I’m hoping it is good

Prince of Persia : Sands of Time
I never played the game, and I’m not sure about Gyllenhaal as the lead, but I am still rather excited about the possabilities

Toy Story 3
I saw the first, pretty sure I saw the second one, I even saw the cartoon, but never this one.

Star Struck
??? Never heard of it.

Sorcerer's Apprentice
??? Never heard of it, but I can’t imagine it looks worse than the vampire apprentice. I guess I’ll find out in a minute if Disney made that one too.


Race to Witch Mountain
Meh, had the Rock in it. Only reason why I allowed myself to get talked into seeing it. They came out with a really fun iPod game though, so it’s all good

Hannah Montana: The Movie
???. Ignorance is bliss on this one. I heard her and Billy Ray were trying to screw Disney to get out of their contract.

Up
I want to see this, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. One of my sociology teacher’s favs though

Space Buddies
This is almost as depressing to see (that it was made, not to actually watch) as Twilight.

G-Force
All I know is my niece was quoting this movie so much that one might havethough that one of the gerbils was willing to Fear Factor some graving for some cat nip.

Hatching Pete
??? Never heard of it.

Tigger & Pooh and a Musical Too
I’ve seen Winnie the Pooh, but I was never a big fan

Princess and the Frog, The
Disney’s attempt at being ethnically equal-minded seemed likely to be a bit racist, but I never saw it. My mom did take my niece to see some fancy production of it where they had actresses dressed up like the princesses.

Ponyo
I’ve heard good things and I’m sure I’ll see one day. In fact, this is going to “movies to see” doc.

Princess Protection Program
??? Never heard of it.

Old Dogs
Hey, that Wild Hogs was successful, let’s make a crappier version of it. Never saw it.

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
Alright, I know I’ve seen a Tinker Bell Movie, but I don’t know if this is it. The one I saw had a lightning bug in it. Again, my touchstone is my niece.

A Christmas Carol
Never saw it but probably will someday

Santa Buddies
Ugh, never saw it, and I am rather please with myself about that fact

Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie
Out of all the Disney I saw last weekend, this show was my least favorite. Never saw the movie though

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Good books, good movies

High School Musical 3: Senior
I went to the theatre when this came out, but they ran out of bullets at the ticket stand so I went home, and you know, didn’t commit suicide. Hmm, that joke doesn’t work if it never made it to the theatre.

Wall E
Good movie, I enjoyed it

College Road Trip
Sigh, this paycheck was hard to watch in the 12 second spurts it got in commercial time
Beverly Hills Chihuahua
The only Hispanic animals I enjoy are voiced by a Reno cops or sell allergy meds

Minutemen
??? Never heard of it.

Camp Rock
I believe this is where the Jonas Brothers came from so I can credit it for a good Southpark episode

Bolt
I’ve seen most if not all of it. Did Owen Wilson voice the dog, or did he just do Cars?

Tinker Bell
Again, I’ve seen one of these

Little Mermaid III - Ariel's Beginning
Aparently I missed the second one

Bedtime Stories
I’ll just link you to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrd9p47MPHg . I’m sure it’s better

Cheetah Girls, The: One World
??? Never heard of it.

Snow Buddies
Just imagine the Indian in front of the wrecked land, and you see my soul

Meet the Robinsons
I’ve seen a lot of this but not all. Solid enough from what I saw.

Goal! 2: Living the Dream
??? Never heard of it.

Jump In!
??? Never heard of it.

Johnny Kapahala: Back on Board

Bridge to Terabithia
It’s been a while, but if memory recalls, it was good and quite sad at one point

Cinderella III: A Twist in Time
Again, what happened to 2?
Underdog
Never saw this or the cartoon

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
As a whole series, fun even if it did go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy off the deep end. Much <3 for Barbosa

Never saw it, but it I doubt I would have minded it too much.

Game Plan, The
Why does the Rock do nothing but kids movies? I didn’t go see this one

Enchanted
I’ve seen a little bit of the movie, but not much. I am a fan of Amy Adams though.

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

This time I had the bullet, but was dependent on renting the gun from the theatre. They were all out for cleaning though.

Twitches Too
Never saw it, but I think I used to watch the show they were on

Secret of the Magic Gourd, The
??? Never heard of it.

Shaggy Dog, The

Never question Disney’s ability to drain a franchise dry

Life is Ruff
Oh, did you see what they did there? That pun? Hahahaha

Sure, she has a horse face, but she was the first to come to mind

Bloggaday 29 – B1C1 The Boy in the Boulder Part 1

Bloggaday 29 – B1C1 The Boy in the Boulder Part 1

A while ago, a posted a tweet herar \/
Concept art for #TheLastAirbender. The Watertribes were antagonists in the movie, slated for a #2012 release date. http://twitpic.com/170x9c

I thought it clever, so I started writing it. Here is the first 500 words of it

The Shwailing Lizard marched through gravel that would have begun cooking the scampering feet of animals from any of the other nations. The Heat Bowl though, had a way of toughening animals… and people beyond the usual Fire Nation resilience.
The Heat Bowl had also put Sokka through that same toughening. He stalked through his own shadow with the lizard oblivious to his nearly freezing shadowing of it. A step quickened his pace. Another step brought dinner so much closer. A quick sprint and he launched off of a boulder’s wall, jumping for it. He dove with his sword slicing through the air before him as the wind tore in heated waves at his face.
The beast ripped around to meet him, but a blast of flame swallowed it in a swarm of heat. As he crashed to the earth, the flame swept itself to extinction, and he rolled through the heat.
Sokka came up from the roll with his sword swept back and boomerang tracking for an attacker. He fell to his knees as his sister stood through the blurring waves of heat with a charred stick. “Katara!” he cried. “You just destroyed dinner with your stupid magic fire!”
The girl poked at a blacked lump barely the size of her hand and said, “Dinner? There wouldn’t have been enough to carry him if you actually managed to hit this one.”
With a swipe, Sokka batted away her stick and cupped the once mighty foe. “Meat shrinks when you cook it, and what you did was way more than cook it.” A breeze managed the maze that the siblings had created and carried the lizard away, scattering it among the sands.
Black soot still caked Sokka’s hand. Katara sneaked with lungs full, but a rock caught her eye. It began trembling before blossoming into a full bounce. She let the air out with a point.
“What?” he slumped to the direction. As he watched the rock, a rumble began to add symphony. “We’ve got to go.”
Eye contact tethered them for the moment of personal silence before they started in a sprint. Katara spared a sideways glance back but screamed away from the view. A herd of Caline Rhinos tore at the dirt behind them. Her glance put them at a couple of dozen, but her view barely came to their heads, and the bulk of their bodies flared out from that.
The rumble grew as they ran through the valley. Through the exhaustion, Sokka managed to spill out a string of well-paced words. “Katara… we’ll have to… jump down the… bluffs…”
The cut in the valley wall came to them almost exponentially. Dirt sprayed them from the herd as they leapt for the gap. They tumbled down the outer wall of the Bowl. The fall continued as they struggled to grab for purchase before the ground leveled and they collapsed to the ledge.
As the siblings pulled themselves up, the trampling remained to add to the pounding of their head.

Bloggaday 28 – The Dynamic Finish of the Shirt Saga

Bloggaday 28 The Dynamic Finish of the Shirt Saga

When I started the Piccaday 4 weeks ago, I wanted to stretch out my unique pictures. The pictures, however, are of my face and a tiny bit of the shirt I’m wearing. So, for two weeks, I dug deep into my closet and wore a new shirt everyday. As the two weeks came to a close, I realized I would not be able to keep the trend going, so I decided to repeat the trend by wearing the shirts again for the next to weeks. It all seems to be a distant nightmare now. Also, I wouldn’t read the last paragraph if you haven’t watch Cowboy Bebop and have an urge to do so.
But I would not allow for this storybook ending. Halezno. I am the author of my own fate, and I’m laying down devastating lines right now. At the end of week 2, I wore my Monopoly shirt that has the miser with empty pockets and ‘broke’ written under him. For those of you who cheated and checked the piccaday or went to the bottom of this post before reading it, then you know that I didn’t show my shirt in this picture.
Le gasp, what shirt am I wearing? Did spike die at the end of Bebop? What did the three lights mean at the end of No Country for Old Men? Was Stairway to Heaven written to be a groundbreaking social commentary?




See You Space Cowboy…

Bloggaday 27 – Ty Lee, Master of Pink Panther Style

Still shaking it up here at Bloggaday. I haven’t drawn anything lately, well that was true before yesterday. My niece and nephew were drawing, so I decided to do some myself, terrible as it came out. That means though, I get to shamelessly plug my Deviantart and theOtaku accounts. The former being herar http://avi101.deviantart.com/gallery/, and the latter being therar http://www.theotaku.com/portfolio/avi101. As you can see, I enjoy myself some Avatar fanart. I’ve been in an Avatar kick for the last year or so. I’ll move on when I find something else I suppose.
So anyways, back to current days. I drew this yesterday. Reference picture herar http://www.cosplay.com/photo/2275813/. Now, had I just drawn it, I would have been happy with the piece, probably ecstatic since I can’t draw like that, but with a reference, meh, it should have been better. I’ll add some color to the next one I do.
The final piece is at the end, to see the couple of WIP pics I have, go herar (http://s1000.photobucket.com/albums/af128/daviddysart/Depictions/)

Stay tuned to a special twist ending tomorrow. After 4 week of build up, the shirt saga culminates in an explosive finale. You’ve got to be shirting me!

Bloggaday 26 – Stimuli and Serenity

Bloggaday 26 – Stimuli and Serenity

Alright, to actually compile a cosplay cast of Avatar, whoops, The Last Airbender, I spent more than a considerable amount of time combing Cosplay.com. It was always very relaxing though. I do believe I figured out why.
I’m a very go-go-go kind of person. I don’t like doing nothing. I’m not usually the lay in bed just for the sake of doing nothing. I also tend to bombard myself with stimuli. I usually have the TV going or at the very least, some music. Again, I usually do something else while I watch TV or Music. It’s just playing in the background, even when I’m doing homework. There are only a couple of shows that I just sit and watch. Granted, I’m not terribly productive, but I usually do something.
Back to the matter at hand. I usually watched Dirty Jobs when I was going through Cosplay.com, and I would just zone out. That seemed to always be the case. I think it offered my noggin some downtime. So again, very relaxing.
I think this is also why I enjoy showers. I often get struck with brilliance or come up with groundbreaking literary ideas when I’m in there. Both situations force me to stop the stream of stimuli that I am compelled to propagate in my everyday life. Perhaps I should take up meditating and keep it up for more than two tries. Meh, theorizing. I’m off to my research group at Crafton.

Bloggaday 25 – Shaun of the Sociological Perspective of Issues

Bloggaday 25 Shaun of the Sociological Perspective of Issues

As you may remember, I had to write a paper yesterday for a class yesterday. Hmm, that may not be the most memorable part of yesterday’s Bloggaday 24. Yay for BSing a paper. On a sidenote, today is going to be a d’oh (day of hell). Here is the paper

Movie Content Analysis
In 2004, Shaun of the Dead, a zombie spoof movie came out staring Simon Peg as Shaun and Nick Frost as Ed. Despite the humorous nature of the movie, it still encompasses several social issues. We can see it dealing with alcohol use, family dynamics, unemployment, work, and aging.
The earliest and one of the most prominent issues in the film is alcohol. The very beginning of the movie is set in the Winchester bar. The movie takes this setting and introduces the characters. Shaun, the lead; Liz, the girlfriend; Ed, the best friend; and Dianne and David as the girlfriend’s friends. The film shows how prominent alcohol is in the lead character’s life as he and the Liz fight about how much time they spend in the Winchester among other problems in their relationship. After he fails to get seats at a restaurant for their three-year anniversary, Ed suggests to him, who then suggests to her that they should go to the Winchester for their anneversary. When Liz breaks up with Shaun, she tells him that “If I don't do something, I'm going to end up going into that pub every night for the rest of my life like the rest of those sad old fuckers, drinking myself to death and wondering what the hell happened.” Interestingly, during the course of the movie, Shaun and Ed go to the Winchester every day. After Shaun and Liz had broken up, he and Ed go immediately to the bar and drink. Ed even goes so far as to advise Shaun to take the next day and do nothing but drink. Once the outbreak finally affects the two main character’s lives, they decide to rescue Shaun’s mom and girlfriend and hide out at the Winchester, which offers a venue for Ed to smoke (an activity already demonized earlier in the movie). Even when the main character tries to use alcohol in a beneficial manner, using it to start a fire and create a barrier between them and the zombies, it literally backfires on them. The last of their bullets were on the bar where Shaun started the fire and begin firing.
Along with alcohol, issues with the character’s getting older and being stuck in a regressed state are strewn throughout the film. When Shaun and Ed are together, the two regress into immature guys. Shaun’s roommate even says that they are not in college any more, and that he needs to get his life together. The contrast between the two and Shaun’s roommate is best shown after Shaun and Liz break up. After getting drunk, Shaun and Ed go home and play their records at 4 in the morning. The roommate comes in and explains to them that it’s Sunday, not Saturday, and that work is in four hours. All of this comes as the main character is 29, a far cry from college days. This point is shown in the middle of the movie. After they rescued Shaun’s mom and girlfriend, his father-in-law turns into a zombie in the backseat with Shaun. When he tries to escape, he’s locked in because of the child locks. Despite Ed being out of the car, he froze and couldn’t open the door. Only when Shaun’s girlfriend gets out, does she open the door. As Shaun overcomes obstacles in the movie, he seems to win this battle of regression.
This battle of age continues and presents itself with the jobs, or lack thereof, of the main characters. Ed is unemployed except for selling the occasion bit of pot (something Shaun’s roommate did in college). Liz is head of English at a school. Shaun is working at an electronics store, the oldest employee there among teenagers. This point is reinforced when he meets an old friend who just bought a house, and when she asked him what he did now, she mentioned the last time she saw him, he was working at some electronic store.
Along with the age aspect of the movie, it also deals with family relationships throughout the movie. The most prominent and evolutionary relationship in the movie is between Shaun and Liz. Shaun starts the film very codependent on Ed, but as Shaun evolves through the movie, this relationship switches to him and Liz. The turning point in these relationships was when Liz opens the child lock door on the car. Increasingly, Ed plays less and less of a role in future zombie attacks, allowing Liz to take the role. Towards the beginning of the movie, Shaun also has a very loose relationship with his mother. His father-in-law tries to motivate him into being a better son. Until his father-in-law dies, Shaun remains very resentful of him. Just before he passes, Shaun has a revelation though and changes his mind. He also moves closer and closer to an unconditional love of his mother as the movie plays out.
We can see that the maker of the movie sees these afflictions and incapacities of dealing with life affecting everyone in life. The zombie plague itself is this in society. Towards the beginning of the movie, when these problems are affecting him the most, Shaun is seen repeatedly shambling and moaning. At the end of the movie, he is seen shambling again, but it is coupled with moderation. His girlfriend even suggests going to the Winchester, but the bar and alcohol is simply a part of the day, not the entire day or end of the day. He even plays videogames with a zombified Ed in the shed. He is successful in taking aspects of his life and compartmentalizes them. Ed as a zombie acts as one of these compartments. Other aspects of his life are adult in nature.
Many comedy movies, especially ones that are spoofs of other movies tend to be rather shallow. Shaun of the Dead does not fit this mold. Using humor, the movie deals with several issues facing society today. Among other things, it deals with alcohol use, aging, unemployment, work, and family dynamics. It deals with these problems very fluently and intellectually.
