The Misanthropic Misadventures of an Idealist

I don't know anymore. Why can't Blogger have this function that just spews out automated titles for people like me who can't think of any cute and witty titles and have to resort to mooching off music legends' song titles? I'm just worn.

Haven't had a long rested and deserving sleep in a long time now. Went to bed at around 2 in the morning and only opened my dreary eyes at 11 a few hours ago. Sleep is good. Very good after you've kind of wasted your body the previous day with overdrawn movies-to-watch and books-to-read and the occasional exercises too. And I finally treated myself to a cup of Baskin Robbin's chocolate mousse royale and cookies and cream for dessert yesterday night too. Mmm. Chocolate ice-cream never tasted so good.

And I take back my stab at Saturday morning cartoons being a drag now. Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon does not show too bad cartoons. I'm actually feeling myself being drawn towards Justice League for some reason or other. It's strange because I never really held Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman or the Flash in high regard before but I think this long-unwatched cartoon just might change my mind. It's still very kistchy and cheesy at times but it's kistchy and cheesy in a good way. They do wear spandex and tight uniforms but hey, superheroes are the only people who can pull them off without getting ridiculed and teased at from time to time. Maybe it's their super powers that deter normal people like us from actually teasing them openly for fear of being pounded to the ground. Maybe.

It's a strange feeling sitting here, sipping coffee away while being in my pajamas still and not have a thing to worry about for the moment. It's difficult to feel this way so often now. The stress has not gotten to me yet so that's why I don't seem to be panicking or going crazy as I did for my assignment that time. I work better under stress. It gives me this adrenaline to work faster and harder and a little smarter too just to finish it and do a good job too. Though I can be a little compulsive and a perfectionist at times but I try to refrain from going overboard.

I actually finished "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" yesterday morning but I was too lazy to blog about it. Yep, laziness is a virtue and a curse at the same time.
It's different. The book, I mean. It's supposed to be a children's book, I think or that's what the cover of the book stated, but I don't think I'd be recommending this book to any ten-year-olds or younger anytime soon. It's not that it's bad but just that some of its content are a bit too vulgar and mature for children below twelve. So, yes. But I liked it all the same. I can't explore too much of it now because I might give it away but if you want something light to read that doesn't take too much of your reading time, then this title is the book for you.

Well, my head is hurting slightly now. Could be the overdose of sleep this morning. Nine hours sleep is not usual for me. I feel like doing accounting practices now. Yes, I'm acting overzealous in my work. No, I'm not being over-prepared because I've yet to cover half of the Marketing chapters that we're supposed to study for finals.

And good afternoon to all.

Edit at 22:11 :
Having a small discussion with the cousin today just impulsed me to add some more things to this already long and overdrawn post. Nevertheless, it's my blog and I can do what I want. The topic was about cartoons. Old cartoons actually. So, that brought up the subsequent topic on who's cooler; Batman or Superman, which the cousin defended Batman incessantly. And I have to admit that I am starting to like Batman more to Superman now. It's got to be the cool gadgets. It's always the cool gadgets and gizmos and thingamajigs. And maybe because of the black suit too. I mean, bright red and blue? What was the man of steel thinking?

I want to watch Transformers! I've been hampering on that for a while now. And it's pissing me off because I can't get my fill on it since I don't know what happened to those tapes of hours of Transformers cartoons my brothers and I watched and re-watched again when we were mere children. Nostalgic moments and memories can be so painful sometimes.

And also I have to mention that I actually prefer watching animated Batman to real-life Batman. It's ironic because animated Batman feels more real to me than real-life Batman does, even though ani-Batman isn't real or physically touchable in any way. Ani-Batman seems way cooler and broodier and stoic at the same time. He's the only character I know who can be cool and wooden at the same time. And he does it with such flair too. Black is so classic. Though the spandex is another thing.

Then, we switched back on forth between Disney classic movies and Adams Family. It was fun reminiscing about old movies and cartoons. I still maintain my stand on old cartoons being cheesy but cheesy and corny in a good way.

I'm feeling giving today so here's some shots courtesy of the internet and the little people who inhabit it.

Animated Batman and Real-Life Batman
Animated Bruce Wayne and Real-Life Bruce Wayne

And a bonus for the guys out there; animated Bruce with Diana aka Wonder Woman

I'm sort of into quotes now and I just found the following one from this IMDB link funny. Okay, maybe not that funny but more of a cute moment. I suppose you've got to understand the whole Batman and Wonder Woman relationship thing a little bit better to get it, but for those who do, good for you.

[Batman and Wonder Woman are on a rooftop on stakeout. Wonder Woman notices some loving couples coming out of a nearby club]
Wonder Woman: Don't you ever wish you were down there?
Batman: I'm down there all I need to be.
Wonder Woman: Yes, but it's just a job to you. I'm talking about going down there and having some fun. Maybe... maybe with someone special.
[pause]
Wonder Woman: No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.
Batman: One: Dating within the team always leads to disaster. Two: You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues... lots of issues. And three: If my enemies knew I had someone special, they wouldn't rest until they'd gotten to me through her.
Wonder Woman: [crushes the head of a gargoyle with her hand] Next.
[an alarm sounds from an alley across the street]
Batman: There!
[fires his bat rope and swings away]
Wonder Woman: Saved by the bell.

Muahahaha.. I have converted you! Seriously, everyone around me seems to be Spiderman fans.. I don't know why.. Batman has a much more better sense of humor than Peter Parker but apparently he's supposed to be funny.

Anywhos, I found out the name of the movie. Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker. You should definately watch it. Best batman movie ever, in my opinion out of all animated and non-animated movies.

And if you need any more reasons why he is cooler, do refer to http://thingummyblog.blogspot.com/2004/09/batman-is-best.html .. I think I wrote this around last year.heh.

Haha! I was a faint fan of Spider-man for a while but I think the whole Tobey Maguire thing just irritated me for a bit so I gave up on him. But yes go the Dark Knight! I only wish I had half of his fortune then I can retire forever.. Hee
