Like totally random, but

This is really too wonderful to not talk about.

I came across some okra aka lady’s fingers plants,

saw that flowers were in bloom,

so I took a closeup.

and OMG look at the length of that okra.

10.5 inches and still growing, if it were not cut!

Hope these okras made your day today. :lol:

I wish I could be like Jakesully (yeah no spaces not S),

and have my own Na’vi Avatar, nah even better be a Na’vi itself and have my own Ikran and make my own tsahaylu.

This has gotta be the most fantastic sci-fi movie I’ve ever watched in a long while. So literally fantastic it’s like I was having my own Emerald Dream while still trying digest the reality of Pandora. It is strongly reminiscent of Warcraft 3’s Night Elves, but even better – glow-at-night plants and being able to biochemically bond with animals (what the Na’vi call tsahaylu) beat the Priestess of the Moon or the druids. Anytime.

The 3D’s extremely beautiful, but I think the theme is the most beautiful, if you can see beyond the devastation wrought by the “Sky People” later in the movie. The Na’vi had very few human allies, but these humans stood up and did the right thing of trying to save the Na’vi of giving in to human corporate greed like everyone else. These few humans had the courage to admit that the Na’vi were a spiritually and biologically blessed people, and took a painful and courageous step in opposing their fellow brethren. In the end Jake Sully (who was called Jakesully by the Na’vi) took the side of the Na’vi and finally drove the humans out in a heroic defence of their homeland.

I like to think this drives across a very powerful message to certain people, I’m hoping (a fool’s hope but well, you never know) they can understand that this is not just about beautiful graphics. When you have Russian media giving special attention to a film from Hollywood (think politics) and even praising its message, you know that something’s special about Avatar.

Avatar is definitely the best theatrical eye-candy for me this year, but even more, I’ve never felt so liberated watching a movie. Bottom line, everything about Avatar is fantastic – the graphics, the imagination, the theme, the message, even the duration of the theater version. I was thinking that if they had an extended version of Avatar in DVD or Blu-ray later on I would most definitely snap it.

Now we don’t know about you. Since it just came out we recommend you grab a 3D ticket while it’s still available. Or do yourself a favor by clicking on the play button of the bottom trailer if you’re not convinced. Yet.

Like the Fame Monster,

I’m finally back, like after a loooooonnng while. To those who have been coming back only to find nothing, I’m extremely sorry. However I was really caught up with IRL issues such that I can only post every now and then. A far cry from the days when I used to post like every 2 days and blog-hopped so frequently.

In the future, all of my blog posts will be on issues I think are really interesting to know. I may use my other profiles on stuff that are less important and more personal.

So back to the issue. Like the Fame Monster, Lady Gaga has been furiously churning out song after song lately, and maybe getting fame after fame as well. I’m sure that some of you already know she just released “The Fame Monster” that’s an extension of “The Fame” which made her famous only last year. Apparently she has not let up in the Christmas season – we wonder is it because sales would be better for dance songs in America now?

Like today, I just found that before the Fame Monster euphoria has even cooled down, fans of LG are posting another song of hers. Seems it’s a leak, but well – good things are meant to be shared so I might as well.

Reloaded feat Rodney Jerkins

The lyrics are not out yet, I might update it later if it comes.

And if you didn’t know, LG even sang a sort-of 80s kind of pop dance song called “Dance in the Dark”. The tune’s ok but as usual, nothing LG sings is ever “clean” or unsuspecting. But I guess that’s what many people (including me) like about her. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I like her weird dresses or styles. It’s just that at least she’s a bit more honest about herself.

Dance in the Dark

Finally if you’re really into LG now we recommend you enter the following in the Youtube search box. Do yourself a favor, don’t be lazy please :P
