zomg. seriously. zomg.

... and that is officially the last time I will ever use that expression. But when I saw these pics it seemed very, very apt.


I've spoken highly, in the past, of Justin Hawkins, Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt and James Franco; Hugh Jackman wins. Simply wins.


In case you're wondering, the bulking up was for his upcoming film X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Hit for 6? Caught out! Was it fixed?

You can't help but feel. Well... you try to not feel. No, that's not true. People want to feel emotions; I want to feel emotions. Joy, ecstasy, happiness, giddity. And sure, sometimes even sad, angry, jealous, scared etc. (eg. while watching a movie).

But when you don't expect to feel an emotion, or you weren't prepared for it (but may well have expected it if one had thought ahead), it's like being hit in the stomach. It takes more than a few seconds to recognise what you're feeling, and even then you're kinda just in shock.

A previous post was about a moment that is, in context, very apt right now. It was a moment similar to this; it was even about the same influence on my life.

So from 'yatta' to this? Well, they are not wholly unrelated, that is (for me, at least) nearly always true. Even today I mentally yatta'd a lot. Ok, no more using yatta as a verb. Nervous isn't always a bad thing. Have you ever been near someone, but physically not be able meet them (for whatever reason)? Very strange feeling.

A friend (jokingly?) put his Facebook status up for auction today.

Something which I've so far found to be universally true: everyone turns to jelly when they like someone. Especially the jelly pictured below. It was frozen and had two bottles of vodka substituting the water. Very jelly.

I met a girl Monday night for no more than 60 seconds whom during which asked me to marry her. Out of shock more than anything else I said yes, and we arranged (during the same spontaneous 60 second conversation) to get married at the Lucky Coq tonight.

So to that girl, if somehow you find this post, I express my deepest apologies; as come midnight tonight I will be asleep (and not at the Coq). I really am sorry for piking.

Night all. And may the yatta be with you.

Yatta!

If you haven't had the joy of experiencing Yatta!, one of the first Animutations, do! It's an Internet legacy.

What reminded me of such awesomeness? Why none other than my favourite Glam Metal band The Darkness. I can more than understand why people might dislike them, but they are wrong. The Darkness are awesome. Period.

Yatta is a Japanese word meaning "irrational exuberance".

Listening to "Love is Only a Feeling" just now irrationally filled me with exuberance. I loved it! Yatta!

So I call on you all to adopt 'yatta' into your vocabulary. Yell it loud whenever you just feel good for no good reason. Let us extend the English vernacular.

Yatta!
