#307: I went for a Chelsea match...

With three girls.

In an Arsenal jersey.

Where Malaysia had the FIRST shot on target at the FIRST minute.


Funny world I live in.

Chelsea won 2-0 by the way. Then again, who cares bout Chelsea anyway?

#306: Your Hair is like FI-YAH!

Redheads play important roles in my life...

There's Hayley Williams, who started a riot in my heart.

Then there's Mary Jane, my very first comic book crush. (back off, Spidey)

And of course, my new found love...

...

Wendy!


Reddddd. Mmmmm.

#305: WaiiitWHATTT?

If girls think pigs are cute, then. Why. Do. They. Get. Offended. When. They. Get. Called. A. Pig?

The female mind defies all human comprehension.

#304: OMG!!!

BATMAN AND JOKER ARE BROTHERS?!?!?!?! I NEVER EXPECTED THAT TO HAPPEN IN THE DARK KNIGHT!!!

#303: Not Plagiarism. How 'Bout That.

Life has meaning. And it's definitely not found in Math.

Math 1105, to be precise.

#302: Whyy ssso ssserioussssss?

If I looked back at The Dark Knight,

I wouldn't go "It was pretty decent. The movie was a bit too draggy."

I wouldn't rave about the cool Batman gadgets and the Batpod.

I wouldn't give a compliment or two to the Russian ballerina Bruce Wayne brought to a fundraiser.

I wouldn't say anything about Morgan Freeman's hair.


...All thanks to the fantastic Heath Ledger.



Brain-busting brilliance!

Best movie of the year. Uncontested.

#300: Just Because It's the Three Hundredth

Trivia: I still haven't watched the movie adaption of 300.

#299: Of Inspiration and Construction

So I was checking out James Jean's site. James Jean? Who brought you Fables and other mind-blowing comic art, who has art featured in Time, Sports Illustrated, and Playboy, who designed album art for My Chemical Romance- that James Jean.

I browsed through his sketchbook...




...and got a timely reminder that I still have a loooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggg way to go.


So I'd best get started, shan't I?


Construction has already gone underway, and it'll be out before you know it! For the readers I've gained somehow or another during my art blog's hiatus, feel free to check the old art blog out. *grin*

#298: The Dark Night... Knight, I Mean

"...This is Ledger's show, and whenever he wasn't around, the audience was palpably waiting for him to turn up again. It's Ledger's performance that clearly completes the movie." Read more.

Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait. Ican'twait.


In other news, Martian Child and August Rush is worth spending your time on.

#295: Cedric, this is the post about you shaving your head that you want to delete.

Should I somehow manage to finish all my textbooks this year and graduate a whole year earlier (surprise surprise), I vow will shave my head.

Unless, y'know, a really fickle me decides that the deal is off.

#294: Dear Disillusioned Listener

Dear Disillusioned Listener,

I got to hearing of your little obsession with some particular bands. To tell you the truth, I've got to admire your fanaticism for them, except for one little problem. Them.

Before you get all huffy with my remarks, how 'bout grabbing yourself a cup of warm milk (I heard it helps) before coming back, and reading on.

Now that you're all calmed down, (wipe that 'milk moustache' off your face) in a purely friendly manner, allow me to cure the disease I call 'bad music taste'.

(And get another cup of milk. You're starting to get angry again.)


Are You... a Click 5 fan?

And You like them because... "My sensitive ears can't take all those hard rock! And they're soooo cute!"

You need... The Strokes. Catchy, fun rock (with a pinch of pop) beats. And not too hard on the ears either. (For the 'cute part', refer to Jonas Brothers below)


Are You... a Daughtry fan?

And You like them because... "I just loooove his husky, low voice. And Chris is such a hunk of a rocker!"

You need... SWITCHFOOT. The greatest band on the planet. 'Nuff said (plus I've got a thousand and one other posts in archives about them). And if Jon Foreman ain't a rocker, who is?


Are You... a My Chemical Romance fan?

And You like them because... "When I feel like killing myself, they make me feel worse. Plus their eyeshadow thing is wayyyy cooool. (*cough* Ben *cough*)"

You need... Lost Prophets. The hair, the outfit, and even eyeshadow- They've got the whole 'emo thing' put together. Did I mention they're good? Realllly good. Besides, Gerard 'Whiny' Way's voice- Ugh.


Are You... a Jonas Brother fan?

And You like them because... "They so ohmygawshing cuuuute!" (Yep, no musical talent required here)

You need... Me. There's always my Friendster and Facebook photos. Or try googling 'David Hasselhoff'.


I'd continue, but I am saving the rest should any debate on this matter arise. A reply will be anticipated. Until then... (you're not done with your glass of milk yet- finish it up)

Sincerely,
Cedric the Magic Gnome


I was joking 'bout the 'Hasslehoff part'.


The ABC's of good music. On Abang-gitar.
In desperate need of good music. On Josh Yee...
Click 5... is not Music. On Conspiracies of the Conspired Child.
I couldn't resist. On Life after death and taxes.

You heard about it all on it's a CEDRIC world FIRST.
