The Loch Ness Monster Strikes Back

-
Here's what I want to know: why is it acceptable for people to go on the internet and deny the existence of the Loch Ness Monster and then turn around and say that the plot of Jurassic Park is possible? As much as I would like a pet triceratops, it seems as though science has pretty successfully disproved the plot of Jurassic Park. (Let's all take a minute to shed a tear for the live-action version of Land Before Time that will never happen). The Loch Ness Monster, however, is totally real. Seriously, raptors that can open doors? That seems a little far fetched, don't you think? The idea of a modern day dinosaur just doesn't have the down-to-earth veracity of a slimy, cold blooded lake monster living in a cold and slimy lake. BTW,  I say slimy, cold blooded lake monster in the most loving way possible. In fact, I'm good friends with Nessie.  May I take a moment to remind you all that Nessie wrote into this very blog seven months ago? Actually, for that matter, I *conveniently* received a letter from Nessie just a few days ago that addresses just this subject (and yes, it arrived on paper that was very wet).

Dear World, 

 How are you? I am well. The Loch is very cold and uncomfortable this time of year; it's lovely.  

So. I've been told that they are making a new moving picture about those dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. (What is a park, by the way?) I do not know why you humans are interested in watching moving pictures about dinosaurs, but it saddens my heart (which has 5 chambers and is roughly the size of a harpsichord, in case you were wondering).

I knew some dinosaurs during the cretaceous period, and I found them to be quite disagreeable. They just didn't understand 'live and let live;' they were all about 'eat or be eaten.' Actually, I moved to the lake to avoid being eaten by those dinosaur cretins. I hope that you humans know that they wouldn't hesitate to eat you either. You may think that a T-Rex would be your friend, but you'd be wrong. Every T-Rex I've ever met has had anger issues. I mean, I would eat you too, but I would do it in a nice way.

But what I really don't understand is why humans believe that Jurassic Park is possible, but that I don't exist. Am I not a lake monster? If you cut me, do I not bleed? If I eat you, do you not scream? If dinosaurs can be real, why can't I be real???? I look real; I eat real things; I live in a real lake. I'm real cute! I'm good at existing -- I do it every day.  Dinosaurs aren't good at existing; that's why evolution made them stop. 

I mean, I lead a fulfilling life of eating tourists and scaring fish, but, sometimes, a little acknowledgment would be nice.  I would like to hear people saying "good job Nessie, you survived that extinction event beautifully," or "I really admire the way you've avoided blinking out of existence for all these years." It really hurts that everyone thinks that I'm imaginary. Humans treat me like I'm the Easter Bunny or something. I'm better than the Easter Bunny! I could eat the Easter Bunny if I wanted to, but I don't want to because the Easter Bunny isn't real! 

Even when I try to prove I exist, people don't believe me. I've had starring roles in Scooby Doo Meets the Loch Ness Monster and The Water Horse, but no one believes that I'm not CGI. Noooo -- all anyone wants to talk about is how good the raptors were in Jurassic Park. Talk about CGI! I hope everyone knows that they didn't do their own stunts.  Raptors haven't done their own stunts in three trillion billion years! 

Whatever.

Haters gonna hate, I guess. 

May your scales be slimy and your Loch be dismal. 

Salutations,

Nessie from Loch Ness
 AKA The Loch Ness Monster
 AKA The Creature of the Deep
 AKA The Eater of Whales
AKA The Notorious N.E.S.S.I.E
AKA *NSYNC's biggest fan

In case you were wondering, that was some strike back from Nessie.

Just sayin'

The Trouble with Targaryen Eyebrows

-
Image
Those Eyebrows Though As you know, I have strong opinions about eyebrows . I also have strong opinons about Game of Thrones. Usually, those two things do not intersect, but today they do. Let's not dance around the issue here: Daenerys Targaryen has weird eyebrows. (If you don't watch Game of Thrones , this probably is total nonsense to you. In case you're interested, Daenerys Targaryen is one of the show's main characters. She is descended from a royal line that originated in Valyria. In the A Song of Ice and Fire books , Valyrians have very distinctive physical features: white hair and purple eyes. In the show, Daenerys (aka Dany) has white hair (a wig) but her eyebrows are dark brown -- mostly because the actress' natural hair is dark brown.) Anyway, if you watch Game of Thrones at all you know that Dany looks great in almost every episode and she's completely gorgeous and beautiful. However, the weirdness of her eyebrows is unavoidable. I know it,

The Yik Yak Year in Review

So, I'm basically an old person now, so I just discovered Yik Yak this past year. Yik Yak, in case you're old like me and don't know, is basically an anonymous form of Twitter which shows you posts from people who are geographically near you. That means that the quality of the Yaks are really dependent on where you live; however, since I live in a college town, my Yik Yak is made of win. So, without further ado, I give you the Yik Yak year in review: When You're A Productive & Valuable Employee: Could We Stop Re-Making Movies Already? When the Struggle is Too Real for Spelling: When You Celebrate Father's Day with Yik Yak: When Game of Thrones Betrays You...Again: When You Thank Yik Yak for Your Freedom: When Worlds Collide: The Yummy Yak: The Obligatory Squirrel Yak: The Obligatory "All Weather Sucks" Yak: Ce

I Have Issues with Lady and the Tramp

-
I don't know if any of you have seen the Disney movie Lady and the Tramp in this century, but as a person who saw it for the first time a few months ago, I have some major issues with this film. It isn't just that pasta is undoubtedly unhealthy for dogs and that mutt gangs roam the streets, no, its the ending that really gets me. For those of you who don't know, during the end sequence of Lady and the Tramp , Lady spots a rat sneaking into the house, presumably to hurt Jim and Darling's baby, but is unable to get inside due to the visiting aunt, the Siamese cats, and their really annoying song which I'm sure we all remember. So, Lady goes to the Tramp for help and they break into the house, the Tramp then proceeds to fight with and kill the rat, although he injures his paw in the process. The aunt then takes the Tramp to the pound, from which Jim and Darling must rescue him when they return home. Now, I'm sure you all see the issue with this turn of events,

What Happened to Ernest?

-

So, I've been required to read Frankenstein twice, once in college and once in high school, so I know that the book raises a lot of questions and themes, like the nature and importance of beauty and appearance in society and literature, what is considered monstrous in popular culture, the dangers of scientific exploration, etc, etc. But, to me, perhaps the most important question the book raises is what happened to Ernest ? In case you are unfamiliar with Frankenstein, let me give you a brief plot summary. Victor Frankenstein, the title character, decides that it's a good idea to build an eight foot tall quasi-man, animal creature while he's away at college. After he brings the creature to life, he has a freak out and runs away. After this, his creature, through a series of convoluted events, ends up killing everyone Victor cares about as revenge for Victor not creating a female creature for the monster. That is, everyone except Ernest. At the beginning of the book, V

What Really Happened to Cedric Digory (The True Origin of the Twilight Series)

-

So, I was rewatching the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie the other day and I started to develop a theory. Cedric Diggory dies at the end of the movie in the graveyard, right? Well, what if he wasn't really dead. What if he just became [duh, duh, dun] a vampire. Ladies and gentlemen, I have just discovered the true origin of Edward Cullen. My first clue was that Robert Pattinson played both characters in the film adaptations. You think Robert Pattinson played Edward Cullen because he likes Twilight ? You're dead wrong. Robert Pattinson hates Twilight! The only reason he did Twilight was out of loyalty to Cedric's story line. Granted, it's one of the more bizarre character arcs in the Harry Potter series, but J.K. Rowling is richer than the Queen; she doesn't have to make sense. Here's what happened to Cedric: So, first off, Voldemort kills Cedric. Now, a lot of people think that Voldemort killed Cedric because Voldemort is just evil, but the tr
