Heck-lad 2.

I saw Hellboy II: The Golden Army on Friday.  I enjoyed it a lot. Guillermo Del Toro’s visual stylings i amazing. I think he’ll do some awesome things with The Hobbit. My favourite part was the animation style of the story told to a young Hellboy at the beginning. It seemed to be CGI that mimicked a stop motion feel, with old-school looking wooden puppets. I would love to have this as a short film in itself.  So very cute. The only thing that dissapointed me was, it seems that David Hyde Pierce did not do the voice for Abe Sapien this time :/. Doug Jones did a decent job but he’s no DHP.

In other movie news, I may attempt to see the Dark Knight (I always want to say yooou caaahrazzeee engglash kkaaanigits!) today. I’ve done a fairly good job of avoiding as much hype/details/spoilers as possible so I hope I can enjoy it when I do get to see it.

Also, yesterday I think I broke a personal record for “amount of times spent ‘swimming’”.  I use the term swimming lightly because I don’t know how. I do know how to hang off a pool noodle in the shallow end. It’s still fun! This was my 3rd time in a pool this year. Sad, I know. But I had such a fear of drowning and water etc… that it really is a big deal. But I’m glad to see that I am capable of getting over my fears! Especially since my building has a pool.

Also, a bit of advice that my seem obvious: Dollar store pool noodles aren’t very good. I didn’t know there could be such a thing as a C grade noodle – but now I’m all to aware.
