spiderman, spiderman.

Hello world!
So, I went to see 2 films yesterday at my local cinemaaaar. What were those two films? I hear you ask. Well. Hold on, damn it. You're so impatient.

The first one was... Katy Perry: 3D. Don't judge. Look, I pay a set price every month for the cinema so I can go as many times as I want and yes, OK, there is no glossing over the fact that I did indeed choose to watch this film. But... I love Katy Perry! Her songs are the best pop songs in the history of pop. Kind of. Anyway, all you need to know is I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was quite sad when her and Russell broke up, but you know what, she deserves better. There, I said it. Yes, I am too emotionally involved in her life. Whatever!


The 2nd film I watched yesterday was The Amazing Spiderman (aka Spiderman. They named it 'The Amazing' as they wanted to A. distance it from the Toby Maguire series, and 2. because they wanted to make people aware that they have actually chosen to go down the route of the alternate story. More on this later). I really enjoyed it. I like the 'original', if you can call it that, but this one was fun and I liked the alternative story of how he got the spider bite, and who his parents were (are??) and I liked that his girlfriend was the quirky Gwen Stacey rather than plain old Mary-Jane ( aka 'MJ', ergh). I liked the way his abilities were more spider-like and I liked that he didn't have organic web. Yes, that is the main difference with this series really - in one version of the comic books Spidey has the organic web we are so aware of. You know, his 'thwip-thwip' pressing of the palm with his fingers spiderwebbing that he shoots around the place. In this one he has created this webbing himself. Kind of. And it's a good story and all works well together. Down points, if I could call them that, is that it's not THAT much different from the other Spiderman film looks wise. The effects are better but only just and some of the cinematography is really similar. I know, that's picky because it's set in NY, so what else are they going to show, but I just mean the actually 'look' of it is, well, I guess Marvel have a specific vision so I should just shut up. I loved the score, but it too had a certain tone and melody that tied it in with the other films. Maybe it was done on purpose. I'll never know... unless I google it. Which I won't.

I recommend both of these films, by the way. I do!

Right, I should really be DIY-ing, but I have sores on my hands from screwdrivering! Humph!

There's a elephant in this room, here....

I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll set your furniture shop on fire!

Isn't that how the saying goes?

I don't know! Riots. That's what I'm talking about. Well, not talking about because I'm quite happy to let the elephant stay in the room - I won't talk to it, I won't feed it and eventually I assume it will go away of it's own accord, because it will get bored and want to return to it's natural habitat. (but hopefully not steal from, or burn down said Habitat).

It's all over the news and now the riots have hit Manchester and that's all anyone is talking about. Well. I refuse, so if you want riot news, go elsewhere. I'm not going to harp on about how scallies are running around and the police won't use deadly force, like they should be doing!

My blog today is about... well, it was about 2 things really. The first being I just got back from my run (I decided last week to jump off the treadmill and run outside, why the hell is it 100% harder?!), and I did ok. I'm not a fit person. I have asthma and as a rule I like to be lazy. What can I say?! But 2 miles in 25 mins (roughly), is probably the best I can ask for right about now so I'm saying hurrah to myself. I need to tone up and I have decided running outside is my way forward. I need to find better running songs to listen to though, so if anyone has any suggestions - please help me out! I find anything by Katy Perry is good, especially my favorite one - E.T... oh come on... it's amazing! Kiss me, ki-ki-kiss me!



I'm totally doing my makeup like this next time I go out for a run! hahah!



In other unrelated topics I wanted to talk about fitting in. I never really fit in anywhere, and part of it is because I don't want to, but sometimes I find myself on the outside looking in, especially when it comes to Internet society. I don't want Internet 'fame' - what I do want, and what I used to have on some sites, is a community. Because that's what the Internet is great for! You can talk to people as much or as little as you want about specific topics and not feel the need to know about their personal lives, unless you actually become super duper friends, in which case you add the on Facebook and photostalk them until you realise you're being a crazy person.

Community - it's the Internets silver lining, but I sometimes feel like I can't quite get my foot in the door. This place is great for that, this old Blogger here, because people drop in and out and if they like you they follow you. I never really feel any pressure to out-do anyone or try to be anyone else on Blogger, because I try to be as honest as I can be and people can like it or lump it, but I don't feel like I'm truly a 'blogger'. I don't feel like I'm in this blogging community. I'm trying to get onto a site with a forum at the moment, which will help with my writing, but I can't seem to because of technical difficulties, but I also want to try to find actual writing forums, a place I can go and get involved, enter competitions and such - but as I'm not involved in that world I find it really hard to even find the door... I can't even sneak in an open window because I don't know which one will lead to a nice community and which will lead to... dum dum dum, certain death.

Now, this blog didn't make sense because I lost my train of thought, but if you stop by here and know of any good writers forums or a site that hosts writing competitions, I would really appreciate some guidance, as there are SO many, I don't know which ones I should be looking at!

Argh - SAM need shower.

Oh yeah... and this is TOTALLY how I run!
