While browsing around google and various other search engines(more like frantically searching) for blogs interesting enough to prevent my thought processes from going on stand by after reading the first sentence, I came across this l33t blog by Meredith Woerner. The blog focuses on movies, specifically sci-fi movies if I'm not mistaken. The entry that drew me to her blog was a sep. 18th post about the
top 20 worst fiction movies of all times that people love, and explains WHY some of the crappy movies were so loveable. I especially like the comment on The Chronicles of Riddick about "the fact that you can prevent the death-inducing sun from burning you alive with a little water" and the part where the writer mentions killing someone with a tea cup. When you've seen the movie Riddick you'd think the tea cup scene was pretty awesome, but written on a blog, the thought of killing someone with a cup becomes hilarious... what did riddick do? scald someone to death with a cup/cups of hot tea?
With such an interesting top 20 list, no wonder the view count is at 80k views after half a month. The casual writing style coupled with the humor in the paragraphs made reading this top 20 list more interesting than a lot of other blogs i came across today... blogs that are blogs of note no less... I, for one, believes that a blog that goes on and on about
dinner plates should not be listed in blogs of note. It's boring as heck. The comments center around which other movie should have made the top 20 best worst movies list, and in depth responses on why some of the movies are as good as they are. The entry acts as a medium in which movie enthusiasts from anywhere online will be able to participate in discussions about movies, regardless of where they are.
Aside from this entry I also came across another hilarious entry on the same blog about the Simpsons, where
Homer tries to vote Obama. "Hello, I'd like to vote for president, governor, anything that would take money away from our parks and libraries" and "Ah! this doesn't happen in America! Maybe Ohio! But not in America!!" ... lol classic
After forgetting about SL for a week I decided to log back on and go look around. I also went to every freebie place listed in the searches in hopes of finding some free stuff. After changing my skin so it no longer looks plastered I found a place with a lot of dancing AFKs
I ended up answering trivia along with the others as every correct question answered nets u $3. I managed to get $97 from it :D There were questions like "What country is bordered only by Spain?" and "What country in Eastern Europe has a name that means "people from Rome"?" What i did mostly was ask around about how to use the different controls and stuff. Someone gave me some dance animations so i could dance any time i wanted. I also got help answering some trivia questions which were absurdly difficult in a sense, like the trivias related to pirates. after answering trivias for a while i logged off to go to bed.
