And so I have been youtubering again (seriously - its a verb!) and just looking at random stuff.

I like Muses music but I havent been 'zomgawd love them must KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM AND READ/SEE EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW' as you do...or I do at times (haha), but I've been checking out stuff a bit more about them and paying more attention to their posts on Twitter and stuff.
Seriously, up until last week I had only ever seen the music video for Uprising and the live vid of Supermassive Black Hole on the Twilight dvd. O.o

Anyways so I was just looking at goofy stuff on youtube and I got to see the whole clip of when Muse performed on some italian show last year where they were told they HAD to lipsync. gawd it cracked me up. I saw a snippet of it on some interview last week but its hysterical watching the whole thing. Dom can barely keep a straight face and Matt is just goofing off on the drums. Brill!


And I dont know how old this one is but taking the piss out of Slipknot....and Matt just losing it.


[edit] OKAY! youtube gold!!! two vids spoofing Britains Got Talent where Matt is a contestant!!!! the first one is funnier though its shorter.



In other news, it seems people arent excited by the iPad eh? I don even have an iPhone or iTouch yet so I am not even with the cool people. my lil ipod keeps me content enough...though i have seen a few apps i would love to play with on my friends iPhones. wenches!!!!!!!!!!
But this cracked me up. I guess if you know german its not gonna be so funny coz you can tell what they are really saying....but this was hysterical:

I probably should have posted this a few days ago or even last weekend but the dramas with my PC meant I had to load the pics to mums computer, then upload them to facebook and then come over and save them again on the mac in PNG format so i could upload them to this blog (for some reason whenever I try to upload a pic to this blog it doesnt work unless the images are in PNG format).

But YAY! Last Saturday I went to the second Big Day Out show here in Sydney. Muse was the only act I really wanted to see and the two other acts I was vaguely interested in seeing - we got in a bit late so I missed the first one, and then the other one where they were playing there was almost zero shade and it got to 42 degrees on Saturday so after waiting for a bit for them to start (in that time I went and got my water bottle refilled and i swear ten mins later the water inside was HOT) my friends and I had walked around for about 40 mins maybe an hour before we gave up and headed to the stands in the main arena area to await Muse.

Muse's setlist (thanks Facebook - though initially when they posted it they had the wrong set coz it had Resistance and the DID not play Resistance. I would have geeked out MASSIVELY if they did as its my fave song by them atm):
Uprising
Supermassive Black Hole
Interlude
Hysteria
Undisclosed Desires
Stockholm Syndrome
Nishe
United States of Eurasia
Helsinki Jam
MK Ultra
Starlight
Time is Running Out
Unnatural Selection
Encore:
Back In Black (with Nic Cester from Jet)
Plug in Baby
Man With A Harmonica
Knights of Cydonia

bold songs have been my faves at one time or another so I was VERY happy they were played. HELLO FANGASM!!! :D

Anyways so I took some pics but I had borrowed mums camera coz mine is kinda bulky and didnt want to carry it into the mosh for Muse....but she has her settings really low so she can take MILLIONS of pics but the quality is shite. Gawd i was annoyed when i realised! But here you go. I have a lot more pics of me and my friends just vegging out all day on Facebook but its not that interesting so I am sharing the 'best' Muse shots.

Meeting up with my chicas! They took public transport, I got a lift with my sister.

Even with the noise and heat, there were plenty of acts we werent into so we were all dozing at some point....eek! Sorry bands!

I peer pressured my friends into D-section! WOO! Only Grace (the lil one) was brave enough to get closer though.

MUSE!! WOO!! Was soooo happy!!!!!!!

My poor friend Graces view...if you can call it that. Shes tiny. But she braved the mosh - the lil trooper!

The dude from JET singing Back in Black with the lads. NOICE!!! Crowd loved it.

MONKEY CRACK!!!!! Thats what this game is!! I got Style Boutique for the DS on Tuesday and by last night I had already reached what is supposed to be the end point in the game - I'd won all the in game contests. Oops. So now its all about making LOADS of money for my store and aiming to own every piece of clothing/make up/etc in my wardrobe. hmm......

The idea of the game is you run a lil Boutique and you have to go and buy the clothes you stock in your shop and then cute lil anime-looking girls who have different styles come in and you gotta make 'em happy to make a sale. If you do REALLY good they even do a anime-style magical-girl-transformation sequence! LIKE WOAH!! Its got a certain market alright! BUT I LOVE IT!
You can also waste quality time dressing up your character. Every piece of clothing you buy to stock your store also appears in your own wardrobe (so I have an alarming number of EGL, punk and just GREEN stuff in my wardrobe). You can also get the characters hair cut in different styles, with interesting colours. My girl had green hair with gold streaks for a while but now its strawberry blonde with some other coloured streak.
So as your store level goes up you can enter these contests and as I said, I finished all the contests in 3 days. It probably would have been sooner but i failed the 'punk chic' one the first time. I know how that look SHOULD look but they wanted punk mixed with annoying flowery shite so i failed it the first time around and if you fail a contest you have to wait a day to do it again.

Now whats bugging me is I cant find anything that explains if the Dominic dude (he is the one who funds your store when it starts) is meant to just be some cute boy character for the young girly players to sigh over or if he asks your character out on a date at some point. Does ANYONE know???? His butler hs been ACTING like he wants to set him up but I dunno. Would be amusing.

Dude this vid shows you almost everything you do in the game! Imma stop explaining and let them do it!

Anyhoo - I think in the US its called Style Savvy.

But yeah, popsicle gave me his DS but i think I am still gonna have to buy my own coz this annoying white bar appears on the top screen and covers over important stuff in game which is annoying me. One of my uncles was out from England earlier this week and decided to spoil my bro, sis and me a bit. Now I already had this item at the top of my list of things to buy next payday but now I dont have to coz my uncle got it for me instead!!! ZOMGAWD HAPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mental age is SO not 32 people. :D

Anyways - to post something else interesting on my blog for a change...one of my mates tweeted this link at the end of last year but I only saw it about a week ago. Twisted Disney Princesses. I agree Jasmine is pretty lame, butt he rest are cool. These are my faves though:

Aww and the lovely man has sent a nice xmas to his fans via RAOnline again. What a darling.
Was watching VoD:The Handsome Stranger with the parents earlier this evening. Was grinning like a fool and sighing over his gorgeous voice, AND being mildly annoying coz I kept quoting along with it...i've only watched it a FEW times...HONEST!

Anyhoo my PC is still broke. Still attempting to fulfill my net junkie needs on a mac. Deary me. I still havent seen the last ep of Spooks. This makes me sad!

Anyhoo - in case I dont write anything later today - Merry Xmas everyone!

WAh! My computer is broken! I think its something to do with the power source doohickey coz it will turn on for 2-3 seconds then die. So GAH!! How will i get ep 8 of Spooks? Other computers in this house do not have all the new fangled stuff on it that i do that lets me get things and others wont appreciate me installing proggies just so i can perv....which I think is highly unfair but thems the facts.
Anyhoo - so right now I am using the parentals shiny Mac...this thing has a massive screen...i wanna see that lovely face plastered across it man! :D

I went and saw Paranormal Activity last week. Damn I was disappointed!!
I hadnt planned to see it because the ads here in Australia were all 'ooh its so scary' and I was all 'gimme a break - i aint seeing that' then a couple of people who I thought I could trust the opinion of saw it and said it freaked them out. So I thought ok i will see it...judge for myself. I regret wasting that money. IT WASNT SCARY LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!

Now I am probably gonna write some spoilers here so dont read on if you plan to see it and dont want to be spoiled.

First up - the one thing in horror movies that is just standard 'how stupid can you get' complaint is that whole thing where people do stuff that we as viewers KNOW is stupid...putting themselves intentionaly in danger..BUT we sort of forgive it because they are in a movie and dont know that they are IN a horror movie - right?
Well in this film I couldnt forgive - especially after the psychic guy comes and tells them NOT to do certain things because it will make it worse (like the bloody ouija board) and the stupid wanker guy still got one!
Also just the whole film I wanted to smash the guys face. I wanted him to die. Everything he did pissed me off more. There were two points well before the denouement where if I had been the girl I would have walked. At one point they are having another disagreement about the filming and he comes out with some crack that well she should have said something about the weirdness that happens before she moved in but now its here he has a say in what they do about it. Pig! And then when he gets the ouija board. Dude I would be GONE YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!

So yeah I kept waiting for it to get weird and or scary and it just didnt. I think a large part of it was the noise you hear when the thing is about to do something that they added to the re-edit - where was the surprise in what was happening?
I do recall having a minor shiver in the scsne where the thing pulls her outta the bed by her foot BUT it could have been because of the extreme air conditioning in the cinema! :D

And yeah - in the final scene obviously you are waiting for something to happen but yo i didnt expect the guys butt to fly at the camera (I know it was in some of the trailers so lots of people went and saw it and were waiting for that shot but everytime the ads came on i rolled my eyes and stopped watching so if it was in teh aussie ads i missed it).
Best thing - I saw it with some friends and after the last scene was done and the screamers and nervous gigglers had quietened and the lil bit of text comes up on the screen my friend goes "That was shit!" and everyone heard her. Cracked me up!

I watched the original ending online and I have to say I think my friends would have been even more annoyed if that had been the ending.
I just found the site again that has the original ending still up if you want to see it.

I was just reading this review about it and its talking near the end how some people wont 'get' why its scary. I understand why it should be scary..and when I went home my brain was pondering how I would feel if I realised there was a presence in my house - I KNOW i would freak. But it says this:

Good horror relies on you empathizing with the characters, in other words, the events depicted would be terrifying if they happened to you.

I sort of empathised with the girl, but the guy pissed me off SO much that I couldnt enjoy the horroriness of it because 1) he was an obnoxious twat that I WANTED to be hurt and 2) he brought it all down on them!

I actually was more interested in the scenes where she sleep walks or is in a trance or whatever. The first time where she goes outside, and then the scene where MIcah finds her and she is holding a crucifix and is she cutting her leg with it or something??? Anyways even though she is in the trancelike state which in other scenes turns out to be somewhat more ominous - those two scenes I got the feeling something in her was trying to save or protect her. The first time - thats why she left the house because as you find out later the thing is in the roof above their bed or in their room...but then maybe it is the thing trying to get her away from the IDIOT BOY!
But definately the crucifix one....shes got a death grip on that sucker and Micah really has to pry it out of her hand...and then the dickhead throws it in the fire. Well you knew it was all over red rover then! MORON!
But yeah - I wonder what other peeps think of those scenes.

Anyways I really rambled a lot about it eh? I dont even do reviews that long for films I love! LOL!
