Calgary's 7th Avenue

No silliness or rants today. Just wanted to mention this touching article about one of Calgary's most avoided spots: Hope waning on Calgary's 7th Avenue

Seeya Peoples!

Michael Bay, What is this hold you have over me?

Ba weep gra na weep nini bong, readers. And if you got that reference, then you may understand my pain. The pain of the Transfan.

Okay, backstory: I love transformers. I even loved the first Michael Bay movie. And yes, I also liked the second. I actually posted a review of the second transformers movie on DA, where I gave it a 7/10. Thats right. 7. Out. Of 10. Why? I could plead insanity, but it came down to that, the things I liked outweighed the bad for me. It was fun, filled with lots of action and a lot of nostalgia and I left the theater smiling. You can check it out here: I'm such a plug monster...

That doesn't mean that I didn't hate the racism (even if I see it as accidental), Megan fox, the crotch jokes-- Oh my gosh the STUPID CROTCH JOKES!--- and the dumb sexualizing of things that did not need sexualizing. To say the least.

And despite liking the second, I was in no way looking forward to the third. The second movie got on my good side by luck. And I could see the direction the movies were going. I am still saying now that the third movie is going to be hated even more then the second.

I watched the first teaser, and indeed, I did face palm.

Some time later, I watched the first trailer.

I smiled.

WHY?! WHY IN THE NAME OF JUNKION DID I SMILE?!

Nothing was told to us in the trailer. It was nothing but slow motion flashes of robots fighting, characters and explosions. Y'know, everything that was in EVERY OTHER TRAILER FOR THE FIRST 2 MOVIES?!

What is it with me? Is there actually a part of my brain that is so filled with testosterone that I become a stereotypical macho guy every time I see explosions and robots? (Apologies to stereotypical macho guys everywhere)

Its official. The movie is going to come out. It's going to be horrible. And I am going to love every moment of it. Because Michael Bay apparently owns a piece of my brain.

Happy Valentines Day!

Or in my case, Happy "Oh Crud, I'm Gonna Be Single Till I'm 40, Aren't I!?" Day.

What? I'm not bitter. Not as long as I have chocolate ^_^

Okay, kidding aside, I hope everyone has a great day and finds someone to spend it with, whether it's a close lover, a close friend, or the latest episode of Bones.

Seeya Peoples,

STUPID CSS BLAAARRRGHH!

Excuse me while I go on a much needed rant...

SlugLady's Sketch-Log: Open!

 

  

Time to move in!

Come on in! Welcome to SlugLady’s sketch-log, my illustrated blog.

Who are you?

SlugLady aka SlugLady28 aka Tegan Dumpleton, and in a past life, NekoGal28. A Canadian girl currently going to the Alberta College of Art and Design for her Illustration Degree.

What is this?

A blog where I talk about my daily life, things in the news, review things I’ve watched/read/played and other miscellaneous ramblings, all accompanied by a few drawings and doodles. Many involving me either being scared out of my antennaed mind, getting beaten to a bloody pulp, or going on a rampage as I tear through the latest unholy “masterpiece” of mainstream media *cough-LastAirbender-cough*.

How often do you update?

I want to update as frequently as possible, but not everyday has something interesting to talk about. I’m shooting for once a week. Other then that, it’s pretty random.

Can I comment here?

Yes! Anyone can comment on my Blogspot sites, even if they don’t have a username on Blogspot.

What is this site rated?

PG and PG 13. If I talk about something serious or extremely mature, I’ll warn you ahead of time.

I can’t see your pictures!

If you can’t see the images, and you are sure it’s not because of your internet or internet provider, please let me know right away so I can fix it.

Is this your only art site?

Nope. My portfolio site is here: Art Slug And my other art site is here (complete with fanart): DeviantArt

Does your antennae have a mind of it’s own?

... Let me get back to you on that.

SlugLady's Sketch-Log: coming soon

C-c-c-oming S-s-soon!
