Horror @ MindSay

Media Studies seems to be looking more interesting at the moment. We're studying the slasher horror genre, so Sarah had us watching documentaries about it today and making notes. Lots of gory clips and commentary from the directors - so this was fairly entertaining.
In Photography, I sat with Michelle and we both did some work on editing our photos. This icons project is seriously wank. I like the work I did over the break - so I want to get on with that, but noooo...
And as always, English was relativley shite. I despise the group and the subject matter is just pissing me off currently. Angela better start changing the lesson directions or I'm going to become a terror.

During my beasty break, I wandered into town.
I got myself a £1.99 King Deal from Burger King and sat on the green benches outside while I ate it. I can cope with the mustard, mustard is okay. I can pick out the gherkins - I just fucking despise tomato sauce. I end up wiping it off the bun with my napkin, but only because I'm too nervous and meek to simply say: "Can I have that with no sauce, please?"

I'd aquired some cash so I went to CEX and bought some Gamecube games.
I've decided that I need an equal balance of Gamecube and PS2 games. The 'Cube will always be my favourite, but the way my wishlist is looking, and the price of some of these PS2 games, I'm going to end up with more. I have about 50 'Cube games currently, so I'm going for 'Cube-exclusive titles as well as some others that are available on both - but I'd rather play with 'Cube controls.

So today I got XIII and Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly.
This is insane. I've bought 5 games this week, and THREE of them are SHOOTERS.
The genre I despise with a passion. I'm trying to broaden my gaming horizons, perhaps. Ian's told me that XIII is good - and I read the back cover, it's all cel-shaded comic-strip style graphics - so it looks okay... We'll just have to see if the whole shooting narrative fucks it over.

During the rest of my break, I sat in the LRC and finished off Pokémon Sapphire - beating the Elite Four.
So I've marked it down as BEATEN on my Backloggery. I might go for the full Hoenn Dex. Fuck the National Dex, I can't be chewed.

Well I have asked around. It is.. coming up to.. that the vampire in the center of the murals in Vorador's Mansion (near the fountains)
the female vampire holding the SPIRIT SEEKER SPEAR, has PINK HAIR(or red). This can be utterly random but considering how all
the other ancient vampires are depicted...I am unsure what to think.  The other vampires normally have black/white/grey hair. I could be
wrong.. I did see brown haired brides in BO... I think so anyway.

And in another strange...appearance she has normal hands and feet. Maybe this was all and idealized painting, considering that it is in Vorador's mansion.

So.. I was thinking. How could Aomi get pink hair. I thought about it, if I were invert Aomi, Aomi's bangs would be red, the rest of the hair white.
Red+White= Pinkish
Soooo if I was to make ANOTHER... Aomi-type vampire.   She'd have white skin that would glow a very pale cyan, she'd keep her cyan eyes
and she'll have pink hair.  And to keep to Aomi's hand to hand-combat nature-using sorcery and such, this verson of Vampire Aomi would wear
gauntlets  and palm guards called Rizaiel (which means: METAL PLATED SOME HOW) . Strikes/hits from these guards/gauntlets would be
equal to getting hit by a gigantic war-hammer.

The Ancient Vampires in the Blood Omen/Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver series look like angels. The scary avenging kind. Apparently they were the
ones who started the total war with the Hylden.  They might have been religious fanatics, these vampires.

At ANY RATE. In Enochian, Aomi is a minor angel. So I am justifying... Aomi's throw in, Aomi is a demon but...comes from an angelic... sector.
I mean sure, demons where once angels? Or something. Haha I find it odd that I want to  smash this demon of mine into everything I get interested in.


In Enochian, Iaom is a minor angel powerful in finding out the secrets of men. He is ruled by the angel Hiaom and Spmnir Llpiz and is a companion of Aomi, Omia and Miao.

In some sense Aomi Armster will be a very very busy shapeshifter.

Remember how I always complain that horror movies are all hack and slash and remakes and that there's no more gothic supernatural horror anymore? Well, I was wrong. See the following movie and get inspired. Or be scared. Be very scared.

After watching, some innocent souls out there are now going to be very, very, VERY nice to little old Hungarian gypsy women now. Or they are going to run away from Hungarian gypsies from now on!

When I went out to see it in my small town theater, there were some guys making very funny comments in the back row. Without giving too much away, the best of their comments were: "OH, NO, IT'S A NAPKIN! DON'T LET THE NAPKIN GET YOU!" and "That's the biggest iPhone I've ever seen!" (the camera angle put a character's iPhone so strongly in the foreground that it was comical) and "EXCUSE ME! I thought I told you to take me to Taco Bell AFTER the movie!" (during scenes where the supernatural knocking and creaking of wood beams sounded like fart noises). But soon the hecklers calmed down and got into the story. There were a lot of women in the audience, too, more so than I usually see when I go out to see a slasher horror flick. That makes sense. Because women like to see scary movies with good stories!

I kinda wished Bruce Campbell was in it, however. There were so many EVIL DEAD references, it made me homesick. Thank you, Sam & Ted Raimi for giving me a scary good time!

Oh, and THE Lamia is not a goat-headed demon, but a shark-daemon, hey!  It's a horror fantasy.  Anything goes, right?

FINALLY. My store is up on the website. Check it out at www.thevideovixen.com. Buy something. Make me rich bitches!
