Quote of the Week

Hey guys
I've decided I have so many funny moments in my life I'm going to start posting them here. I'll try to aim for once a week minimum, but I'll try to do it sooner!

"They should [fight it out] in a giant thing of strawberry Jell-o!!"

Master Storyteller

This weekend we went to Legend Weekend, an annual event I greatly enjoy, mostly because I love Halloween like nothing else, and also because of my love of folklore and legends- and storytelling. There's this one storyteller(he actually does it for a living, I think it's amazing) who's there every year, and I would happily sit in the cold (anyone who knows me knows how much I LOATHE the cold) for hours just to listen to him. He's INCREDIBLE!

Transformers

So the jury's finally back in, and I've made my decision- Transformers is now officially my favorite movie. Oh, believe me, there were a lot of close seconds(and thirds!) but this one won.

For one, the premise is that there are alien robots who come to Earth looking for their version of a savior, and then duke it out with other robots in a "giant, robotic, death match!"

Not only that, but they've got some pretty sweet names too.
Autobots: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Ratchet, and Ironhide
Decepticons: Megatron, Starscream, Bonecrusher(my favorite), Blackout, Barricade, and Devestator/Brawl.

I mean, tell me those aren't totally awesome 80's names.

And the graphics, the music, the writing, the characters....all excellent. I can, (and have, believe me) watch this movie over and over again.
