The Girl in Red’s Weblog











So hello. :)

Okay, what’s up? Well, I haven’t been able to go on the Who boards ‘cos I haven’t seen the finale, so have been sticking to the Twilight boards. New trailer out and everyone’s geting excitede over the upcoming release of the fourth and final in the series Breaking Dawn. However, if you go to Stephanie Meyer’s website, she seems to have a chapter of a novel which is Twilight from Edward’s perspective. It’s called Midnight Sun.

Also, I have seen Raiders of the Lost Ark and Speed. Liked both, especially Speed.

Songs you should check out: Black and Gold by Sam Sparro, Mirror by Barlow Girls.

All those people in Australia cringed as they watched the Top Gear crew (BTW, SBS are showing the eps out of order) waste beautiful. glorious water by using it to fill up cars and see which old British car could go ’round the track the furthest (water leaking out, they had to stop when the water was below the steering wheel).

Someone I know spent five minutes trying to remember what she had for dinner last night (to our amusement). Here is in general what she said (I can’t put everything up here ‘cos I don’t remember it all. I’ll start somewhere in the middle and skip bits): “This is really worrying… It wasn’t steak, that was the night before…I remember, I had popcorn beforehand and then it was dinner…Wait, did I even have dinner last night?…And there were these stringy things…yes! Spaghetti bolognaise”. I laughed a lot.



{July 13, 2008}   So Random (what’s new?)

Latest searches leading to my site: Janet Fielding’s huge boobs, july girl, going red from stress.

Okay, I really want to read Twilight now, ‘cos I’m actually looking forward to the movie.

Just saw Hancock. If you like Will Smith, you’ll like this. Plus, it’s like the anti-superhero movie, almost.

You know, there are a tonne of blogs created for a tonne of different reasons. Maybe they’re personal, maybe they’re professional. But there is one blog that I would love to see shut down and that is Juicy Campus. It is a bitchfest where some of the stuff isn’t even true (actually, probably most of the stuff is garbage). The idea that people can be so damaging for secular entertainment kind of bugs me. This, along with all the Youtube bashings, just makes me feel sad. Sad for the people who have to endure this and sad that humankind has been reduced to this. But I also think that t makes you value the ones who aren’t like this even more. But maybe that’s just me.

I also watched Casanova (the Heath Ledger one, not the David tennant one). I thought it was funny. There was an amusing line which comes from one of the puppet shows.

I just saw the first pic for the American version of Kath and Kim and, as much as I think Selma Blair is awesome, I’m feeling a little dubious. It’s just the whole Americans remaking a perfectly good TV show thing. A lot of it, though, is Australian humour and I don’t think they’ll get it.



{July 11, 2008}   ‘Tis Cold

And I hate it. I’m not a cold person. I don’t particularly enjoy having my hands being replaced by blocks of ice. No, that’s not for me. I just went outside and I could see my breath. My breath! That is cold for me!!!

BTW, sorry it’s been ages since I last came on here.

Let’s see, what have I done? I saw Narnia again. PD watched the finale of Doctor Who without me (I’ll just watch the last four eps with Dad). I bought a pair of shiny, red flats today for $20. PD covets them and so do I. I’m going to see Hancock tomorrow. Everyone I know agrees with me when I say If a movie is bad, it’s not the fault of Will Smith. Actually, even if one of is movies is panned by critics, it makes a stackload of money ‘cos it’s got him. I went to an awesome sleepover. Took a tonne of pics.

One thing I really want to do, however, is read Twilight. The series looks pretty good, everyone I know tells me they’re brilliant. Actually, the movie’s looking pretty good, too. New Moon and Eclipse follow, but the final book Breaking Dawn comes out on 2nd August 2008. The movie comes out just after Harry Potter 6 (ironic, ‘cos the main actor is in Harry Potter 4).

One movie I really don’t want to see is Wall-E. The lack of speech would just totally bug me. The people I hang out were like “He’s so cute…I’m so not seeing that”.



{July 4, 2008}   I’m Back Again

Yes, hello. I’m feeling less miserable about my little piggy and have been giving the other piggy more attention for the time being.

I went and saw Get Smart yesterday. It was a good movie. The Rock is always good in action, but he’s underrated as a comedy actor. Anne Hathaway’s 99 was good and kicked arse (now I can live with the modern day Charlie’s Angels movie).

Now, let’s set up a Doctor Who drinking game. Very simple stuff. I’ll come up with some basic stuff and you can twist things around to your heart’s content, even remove some if you’re scared of getting too hammered (inspired by the lovely people on the imdb Doctor Who boards, however some I’ve been thinking about for a while. Also some inspiration from SFX magazine). Note that this is mainly for Tenth Doctor adventures (however, you could drink everytime Nine says Fantastic, I suppose).

1. Every time the Doctor cries one of the following:

- What? What?!? WHAT?!?!?

-That’s impossible! (Double the amount if it’s not the Doctor saying it)

-Brilliant!

-Don’t do that ( Don’t)

-Allons-y!

-No no no no no!

-I’m sorry (I’m so sorry)

-I’m the Doctor

2. Anytime the Doctor makes a comment on humans

3. Everytime Jack hits on someone (if watching with others, wink at them and then drink)

4. Everytime a Dalek cries “EXTERMINATE!”

5. Everytime the Doctor puts on the brainy specs, wolf whistle and drink

6. Everytime there’s an actor that you recognise from Harry Potter (THAT ISN’T TENNANT; IF YOU INCLUDE TENNANT, YOU’LL BE BRAIN DEAD IN THE MORNING*)

7. Everytime someone says “It can’t be”, go “ha HA!” and scull

8. Anytime Rose gets jealous in regards to the Doctor

9. Anytime after Doomsday  that there is a Rose reference

10. Anytime the Doctor name drops, go “Yeah, yeah, whatever” and drink

11. Anytime a previous New Who episode is referenced

12. Anytime there is mention of bananas, go “Bananas are good” and drink (even if the line is that bananas are good)

13. Anytime anyone is told to “RUN!!!!!!” or indicated to run (like in Partners in Crime )

14. Anytime Donna makes a comment about how the Doctor isn’t human (e.g. calling him names like martian or spaceboy)

That’s all I can think of for now. You can think up more yourself. Enjoy!

*The only time you could use Tennant is if it is a Doctor lite episode



{July 1, 2008}   Oh, God

Okay, the latest searches leading to my blog are “john barrowman tennant mum” (without the mum, that would actually be fairly normal) and “the girl who beat up guys”. Make of that what you will.

I went and saw Narnia today. I enjoyed it. In my opinion, it was better than the first.

My guinea pig died today. I just came home from the station and my Dad picked me up and told me. I’m still crying. She was an old little piggy, but she was like a baby to me because I had to look after her so much (she wasn’t entirely well). You might want to wait a few days for my next post. I really am upset. Some might think crying over a little animal is stupid, but let me tell you, she was alert, happy and most of the time a lot better natured than many people.
