Tune-y Tuesday – Songs from the Drive Soundtrack

January 24, 2012 – 9:46 pm

Around New Years I watched the movie Drive. It was okay, but I wouldnt rave like a maniac about it like some peeps on Tumbr did. My favourite bits were at the start where Ryan Gosling and Carey Muligans character woudl meet up…and the way they looked at each other. Yeah it was great. I’m a loser girl who loves romance man!
The kiss was a cool moment followed by one of the more ‘omgaaaawd’ moemnts in the film. Another bit that is a fave moment and also an omgaaawd one - there are two mafia-type guys..one is a bit of an arse (Ron Perlman you always play that so well) and the other one is kind of endearing....until BAM! he starts not being so nice anymore. OMGAWD!

What especially stuck with me from the film though, were a few songs on the soundtrack. I NEED THIS SOUNDTRACK coz I want those songs forever!!!!

I really loved this song – I cant stop listening to it (apart from when I am blasting last weeks song over and over on my ipod).

College ~ A Real Hero (feat. Electric Youth)
College feat. Electric Youth – A Real Hero by Valerie Collective

The actual music in it makes me think of something from a 80s teen movie…..but yeah its nice and rather soothing. heh

I tried to find the other song I liked on Soundcloud but every version on there is over a minute longer than the version I have heard and has this REALLY ANNOYING talking bit in it…so here is a Youtube vid of the version i like that gives away most of the movie anyways!

Tune-y Tuesday – Oh No!

January 17, 2012 – 4:27 am

Coz I am up I thought I would get in early and have this done…also coz I might be a lil late home this evening…I might forget!

So this song – Oh No! by Marina and the Diamonds. Yes – its like 2 years old but I dont listen to much mainstream stuff anymore so I discover random things all the time and go ‘awesome – I love that….wait that was out 3 years ago? oops!’

Discovered this song because of this fanvid I saw on Sunday about everyones fave genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthorpist – Tony Stark:

Its catchy and the lyrics almost all go perfectly with my brain version of Mr Stark. AWESOME! I can not stop listening to it…..

Anyway here is the kinda dorky original music vid.

WOO! Just found another Tony fanvid that uses the whole song. SCHWEEEET!!!

I’m sorry mr octopus

I was going to post this with the other vids but they were all mega adorbs times.
This is just ‘OMGAAAWD WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?’ times.

Pretty sure if your food starts moving and is trying to ESCAPE from the bowl….its not wise to eat it.

Seriously if someone put that down in front of me I would be all ‘i cant eat that!’
I like my meat/seafood to not still resemble exactly how it looked when it was alive – prawns are an exception but then even they change colour when cooked!! And I dont like when prawns still have head and shells when cooked!
And fish – as long as scales and eyes are gone i can do it…but if you serve me fish and there is a fishy eye looking up at me going ‘WHHHHHHY???’ I cant eat it!!

ANYWAYS – so yeah this bowl is already made of ‘aww hell no!’ even without the added excitement of pouring soy on to make the fucker dance!!!!!!!!!!!

This reminds me of something….oh yes!

Heres some more freaky wiggling food. T.T

I had seen animated gifs of the above video on Tumblr, and when I went searching for it I found this video first

At least they arent about to eat these…

As previously stated – if i can see the fishes eyes…its all over. The fact that its twitching (even if its like the others where something has been put on it that makes the nerve endings move) I would totally want to throw up if this was sitting on the table and people were eating from it.

BTW – I’m not judging peeps who do eat this stuff. Food is food yo!
If you can eat it – good on you.
But my brain would not let me do so, NO WAY IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!

January 13, 2012 – 4:23 am

So below I have some videos either found on Tumblr OR someone has created and posted on Tumblr a series of animated gifs from these videos. I have gone in search of the original vids.

Most of this is stuff that makes me want to scream KAWAII!!!!!!!!

Bear attack! I want one!

Puppies attack!

Puppy has been trained! My dog has no such talent!

Puppy (huge puppy) stuck in tub

Kitty likes dolphins!

Puppy wants small human to play!

Baby polar bear!!!!!!!!!! OMGAAAAAAAWD!!!!!

That is all for now.

Chris Evans In Places He Shouldnt Be

January 10, 2012 – 11:29 pm

This may just be one of the best things I have seen on the internet in the last few months – chrisevansinplacesheshouldntbe.tumblr.com.
So there is this massively attactive and derpy picture of poor Chris Evans from on the set of the Avengers:

So basically the idea is cut out his body, or sometimes just his head/face and paste it info other strange and sometimes inappropriate places. Therefore how they came up with the name of the account.
This was the first post I saw reblogged by someone I follow on Tumblr:

Evans ruins a lovely roadtrip with his singing.

Some of the pics are silly, some arent that great and some of them just crack me up for ages. I want to post so many of them here but you’re better off just going to have a look for yourself. There are various ones from Alien, a Robocop one!, they even have this fantastic fanart of the original derp-picture. Its brilliant!
I just love the insanity that fandom people come up with! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For new years the admin (and also someone I now follow on tumblr – woo) made this epic video. Everytime I see it (and other peeps I know keep rebloggng it) I just sit there grinning and/or laughing my head off.

Theres now 2 other related tumblrs – Tony Stark Eating in Places he Shouldnt and Thor Dougieing in Places he Shouldnt.

The Chris one is still the best.

Anyways – I need to stop looking at these before I started crying from laughing so much. I hope you are all as amused as I am.

Tune-y Tuesday – I am the Best

January 10, 2012 – 10:45 pm

Just realised when I first shared my sudden epiphany over liking kpop months ago I didnt share this song. Probably because on first listen I didnt like it…but then it grew on me and now its one of my faves.

2ne1 ~ I am the Best

The only korean words I can say with any confidence are Naega jeil jal naga (thats the song title in korean and if you watched you may have noticed gets repeated a lot of times ).

I also have a chunk of this song as my ringtone on my fone at the moment. Has been since before November.

Anyways 2ne1 are probably my fave kpop girl artists. They are a bit more feisty and ‘fuck you son’ than the other groups. I like that.

Anyway – for some of you more old skool kids out there – did you spot the Misfits (band) skull on various clothes they wore? I have seen other kpop musicians wearing them too. I dont know what to worry about more – Glenn Danzig having an aneurysm when he sees them OR Glenn Danzig flying to Korea and killing some adorbs kpop stars in a fit of rage.

Today there was stuff!

January 5, 2012 – 11:52 pm

This year I had to resort to Ebay to get the 2012 Frankie Diary.
There was an exciting few hours of sniping before I won my copy! Exciting meaning tearing my hair out the 1st auction, then waiting to snipe someone else on my second attempt. Aww yeah!
Seller shipped it fast but stupid Australia Post never left a card in my letterbox saying parcel was waiting to be picked up. Only discovered yesterday after looking on ebay and using the tracking number seller gave me. ANYWAYS this morning before work I hauled myself to the post office and got it! WOO! Seller wrapped it up all nice and pretty!

This years one has a groovy lil pocket in the back to put things in…if you had seen my 2011 one you would understand why this is so nifty!

That reminds me – I better renew my subscription on payday! I luuuurve you Frankie. When we get the mags at work I geek out because I usually see it there before I see my subscription copy because it gets sent to my parents address.

In other news – low on money and trying to use up stuff in my freezer. I have a lot of beef mince.
I like Italian and Mexican stuff but I have had it so much in my life I try and avoid it these days. And I want asian foods all day every day. I am an addict!
I went on a quest to see if i could find an asiany recipe that used beef mince. I found this recipe the other day and finally got around to trying it today.
I only followed it up to the boiling of the dumplings bit. I also made my own random dipping sauce.

I was happy coz WOO the dumplings stayed together when they boiled and they tasted good! A miracle!
Like most of my creations they dont look spectacular but I can live with that!
