If she can write one I sure as hell can too. . .

Where we last left our blog reader(s), before my sabbatical,  I left you an epic video from my favorite childhood movie.  That movie inspired me to start music and as well spurned on my imagination and so on.  It was that movie most likely that resulted in my day dreams and school assignments to be full of dragons.  Dragons, magic, wizards, and elves are all to be included in that nerdy category.  Regardless, its was a very lacking physical activity childhood.

One of my adolescent daydreams is teh point of this blog.  I figure if that lady can write an international best-selling series on some napkins then I sure can.  I mean I even know what those mythical creations are supposed to do!  Its like saying vampires sparkle in the sun. . . really?  No, they burst into flame or turn into dusk, lets be honest.  So, with that said I will continue on as describe this book (series) in a little detail.  So help me if someone else beats me to it, not only will it not be as good as mine, but I'll find you and you'll have an unpleasant future.

Its based off of Peter Dickens idea from Flight of the Dragons.  With the development of science and technology, magic starts loosing its power.  Though wizards knowing that inspiration comes from magical creatures have to find a way to preserve it.  As a last resort they turn to the one thing that is responsible to their demise and 100 wizards use science to invert reality into "pockets" where magic natured creatures can live and survive.  In doing so these wizards sacrifice their ability to live among their kind and most of them their lives.  There will be many of these pockets spread throughout the world and they'll be protected by "gate-keepers".  Now, each of these pockets will be divided up into climate zones and different societies.  There will be six main societies I think will meet and constantly argue as happens in books like these.  That is most of the background.

Well, the antagonist will have created some type of chemical warfare that attacks magical creatures and either kills them or turns them into aggressive, mindless creatures that attack and kill each other.  I'm feeling this antagonist will probably be a gnome, mainly because I've never liked gnomes.  That and the nature of gnomes is usually of tinkering and technology so I feel they'd probably got kicked out and are bitter.

This is where the hero comes in.  So descendent of so and so he'll inadvertently fall into a pocket with the help of an ever so beautiful, yet ever so clumsy gate-keeper and fulfill his destiny by finding the source of scourge and stopping it.  This of course will lead to finding out there are higher powers at work which will lead to more books.  I'm thinking five.  And of course a t.v. mini-series.

I mean its all a little complicated for one blog entry but let me know what you think and if you'd read it if I wasn't writing it.  Because clearly you'd read it if I'm writing it. . . right?

Now for something completely different.  This is a favorite on my playlists for when I'm cleaning or just doing naked booty dances. . .

Another break.

Well, the Bestie (afore known as the Armenian) was down visiting and thus I have been absent from my blogging duties. Fear not my seemingly fearless reader(s) but I have returned with adventures and deep thoughts that may or may not produce a sweat upon your brow.  Most likely not. . .

First I would like to bring up a humorous situation that would happen to me and I'm not sure to many others.  So my coin bank was full so off I went to cash them in.  After a short walk and a great conversation with the Girlfriend I arrived at the store and started putting them in the machine.  After a smaller amount than usual I went to go put the coins back thru that weren't accepted the first time and behold: three yen and half an Italian mark. . . really?!  Three yen I can account for, but the Italian currency?  I've never been to Italy.  I can sing some Italian and use it for my salads but that's as close as I've gotten.  Regardless I think they're back in my coin bank to be ran thru next time.

Next I want to write a little about my feelings of canceling plans.  Granted I've had to cancel a plan or two, but I mean how people will make a plan or say something with no intention than following thru.  I'd rather you not try to comfort me with making th plan in the first place, second place.  Or the empty "we should hang out" or " I'll call you".  Being intentional is where I'm going with that one I think.  On the same hand is the coming up with something instead of just being honest.  What I mean by that is when trying to make plans or inviting someone somewhere, the person responding with something that has come up or an obligatory family engagement.  I'd rather people just be up front and tell me they can't make it.  Tell me.  If your friend's band has a gig that you're planning on going to let me know.  If you forgot about that gig tell me you're not coming to mine so I don't expect you.  I will be more disappointed if the person doesn't show up to something planned then them canceling or just telling me in the first place.  I hope this all makes sense and just isn't some whiny rambling.  It means even more when the person is someone in your inner circle or someone you felt you could rely.   Just makes their reputation a bit brindled.

Well, on a happier note, my room is finally starting to take shape after two weeks.  The Bestie being here didn't help to be honest.  Our plans usually just include going to the beach and Disneyland.  See ya next month Bestie.

Well, this post I'm not going to leave you with a super-head-exploding-music video, instead since I'm feeling a little nostalgic I'll leave you with the trailer to my favorite childhood movie and one of the reasons I started music.

Don't worry, I have training.

And not as a lifeguard, though my father's one so don't worry. 

Latest adventures.

Well, not in chronological order but I find it humorous.  Last night I had a conversation with one of the bouncers and she was concerned about me not using protection.  She was noticing a new glow about me and through conversation discovered my dangerous habits and was worried for my future.  So maybe I'll start wearing sunscreen.

Other news.  Walked to the grocery store near my house.  Its 1.1 miles away.  In this Ralph's' parking lot there is a gas station.  Not only that, but in this gas station there's a Del Taco!  Daggum!  Who would of thought.  Now, I'm not one of those picky glitterbenders.  I love me some Del Taco.  Which after the possibly hundreds of drag shows I've seen I can tell you so do some fierce queens.  I'm just wonder if the two mile walk cancels out the food. . .

Now lets not all get sidetracked by but thoughts of lunch and green burritos.  Also in this parking lot is one of those magic dvd machines.  Not a Redbox, because this one is orange.  Regardless, in said machine is the first season of Glee.  To the horror of my theater students I haven't seen it.  I've heard some of the songs but do to the fact I don't watch television and the cliche reputation it had initially I never watched it.  Well, now I've seen the first two dvds.  Not gonna lie, I'm a fan.  It is reminding me how much I'm missing in my life in terms of passion and expressing myself thru song and dance.  How much joy I feel there on stage or even in an ensemble.  Basically, I need to get my act together (pardon the pun?).  

Well, the Asian is back from her trip up north so there's no longer a bunny in my closet and the Girlfriend is a mere 22 days from returning as well.  It'll be nice to have people back again.  I also have to get to the mall sometime before work tomorrow night.  I'm concerned I won't get the booty shorts for theme night in time!  Any reason to wear booty shorts right?

Well, I just found out Rihanna made a video for one of my favorite songs on her latest album.  Enjoy:
