Day 57: Friends who don't write posts are NOT awesome!


Katrina here.

So, my friend, World Champion Pacer, said that she was going to donate a post to my blog, but then e-mailed me saying that the post was going to be late. Like the God that I am, I accepted this late post. That is until, she didn't even e-mail it.

Bitch.

So now I'm left here with nothing to blog about! I'm not writing any posts (besides this one, of course) until after you people donate to my blog, so now I'm fucked.

WORLD CHAMPION PACER, WRITE ALREADY!

Meh, maybe I'll just blog about Cyanide and Happiness.

Nah, it's too late for that. Maybe I'll talk about Sanctuary (AMANDA TAPPING IS AWESOME).

Ugggghhhhhh I don't want to write. I DESPISE EFFORT!

Here's a random picture of Nikola Tesla.



There, now I feel better.

Still waiting on that post, World Champion Pacer.

Seriously, what is the post even about? Have you even started? It better not be about one of your random soap operas. This isn't YOUR blog, you know. It better be one hell of a post if you're taking this long to write it! You know what? If you don't give me that post in the next 24 hours, I'm gonna decide what you're going to write about.

I ARE SUPER EVIL!

Actually, it probably won't be that bad. Just a few thousand words on which is better; Matt Smith or David Tennant.
:D

GODDAMNIT WORLD CHAMPION PACER! E-MAIL ME ALREADY!

Oh well. While I'm waiting for her post, I guess I'll just say random stuff.

Watch Sanctuary.

House is way better than Glee.

Nikola Tesla is really attractive.

Forgot to study katakana.

I'm actually liac333 (World Champion Pacer) and I want to see if you guys can figure that out.

Sex.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WRITE MY POST ALREADY YOU LAZY BITCH! I CAN ONLY SAY RANDOM STUFF LIKE THIS FOR SO LONG!

;)

Okay. Katrina here FOR REAL this time... that post sounds so eerily like me I was almost fooled. Seriously. OMIGAWD NIKOLA IS SO HAAAAAWT sorry. He got turned into a vampire again in a recent episode. SO ATTRACTIVE WTF HOW IS IT POSSIBLE And yeah so the world is basically being invaded by a civilization from underground and Helen travelled back to the late 1800s in the season finale (Amanda gets to wear more of those period costumes she loves so much! :D) and so everything is reeeeeally effed up until it comes back. I WANT MORE NIKOLA!!!!! Please, Damian Kindler and Amanda Tapping... turn Nikola into a part of the main cast instead of him just being a recurring character. Every moment that includes him is gold. I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER! ;_;

I actually DID forget to study katakana at the lake. I WOULD tell you what I did but in case you haven't noticed, I have a LOT of blog posts to catch up on. So new post. YAY!

Oh, and all you people that said you were gonna write me blog posts while I was gone?

You have failed me.

Sleep with one eye open.

Day 17: Moar awesome Sanctuary bloopers

Oh, these actors and their lip gloss... xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLK-PcXARIQ

The return was pretty epic. Everyone's alive again, Jack the Ripper is back to writing in blood and RIPP-ing people apart, Henry's being a nerd, and Magnus is realleh smart. Lots of stuff revealed in the episode, especially about the super-Abnormals and the city and Adam Worth, but sadly no Tesla. DAAAAAMN IT.

Day 16: Nikola Tesla is freakin' AWESOME

Just so you know, Nikola Tesla is a real person. Here's a comparison between him and Sanctuary's version:

Real Nikola Tesla: Funny-looking moustache. Inventor of radio. Genius.

Sanctuary's Nikola Tesla: Temporarily had a funny-looking moustache. Inventor of radio and secret machine that helped win World War II. Ultra-super-genius. Half-vampire for a little over a hundred years, then human, but it looks like he's becoming a vampire again soon. VERY SOON. Hilarious asshole. Gets the best lines in the history of television. Utterly kick-ass. Has epic powers of electricity and magnetism... both figuratively AND literally. SUPER SEXY AND HAWT.

This is a picture that pretty much sums him up. I don't care if you fall in love with him or join his fanclub (OMG... that is a GREAT IDEA), just look at this picture. Please. http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/060/b/f/Real_Vampires__Nikola_Tesla__by_calceil.jpg Oh and watch this video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjL1pC6OvaA OH HOT DAMN. NIKOLA WHY YOU SO SEXY.

My Unsettling Friend Who Likes Upside-down Pentagrams is also a fan of Sanctuary.

Sanctuary returns tomorrow.

FUCK YEAH.

Day 15: The Sanctuary actors are awesomely sexy

BLARGH it is very late... or early, depending on how you look at it... so I won't turn this into a butt-long entry. FOR I REQUIRE SLEEP. An unfortunate side effect of being human, I'm afraid.


Today's featured video basically proves, beyond any doubt, that the people in Sanctuary are the most intelligent, attractive people in the world. XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvHyENPFFSI Watch right until the end. It's only five minutes long, and it is SO worth it. I especially like the monkeying around, the slaps, the sex with Bigfoot at 3:15, the multiple fails following 1:15, the sexy fall-into-water-while-changing that Will does at 2:10ish, Will's faces at 2:19 (OMFG GREMLIN) and 2:37 (WTF), his "Jesus f***" of pain after repeatedly slapping a table, and quite possibly the best line never put on the air: "Oh god my lipgloss ... The last thing you want when you're being attacked by a squid is your lips to be chapped!"

Day 13: Amanda Tapping is an awesome prankster

So as you (probably don't) know, Sanctuary returns after its four-month hiatus in four days. In honour of the epicness of Sanctuary, its actors, and its characters, I shall be posting for the next several days about Sanctuary. The second half of Season 3 is something I have been agonizing over for the entire time since the first half ended in December - the writers decided they should give us THE most demonic cliffhanger in the history of demonic cliffhangers. Know what they did at the end of the episode?

The KILLED EVERY SINGLE MAIN CHARACTER. orz

Seriously. I knew that that left 3 options: 1. The execution was faked, 2. The execution was sabotaged and so they were only unconscious, or 3. They really DID all die, and they're being brought back to life. The commercial says that it's the last one, which I was kind of leaning towards, but I want to know WHO BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LIFE?! and HOW?! and WHY?!

Anyways, the first Epic Sanctuary post is about a prank Amanda Tapping, the lead actress played while a main character in another show, Stargate SG-1. Just as a bit of background that is necessary to understand what's happening, the other guy with her is the dude that played McGyver way back when. (I think that's how you spell it...) I LOVE how she keeps a straight face right until the end! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WxPaw5U3C0

What a charmer she is. LOVE YOU AMANDA! Can't wait to see what happens next on your current show! ^3^

Day 2: Awesome trailer for an awesome show

Howdy! I'm guessing that at least 90% of the people reading this have never heard of Sanctuary. It's not a tremendously popular show, but it's done some incredible things. For starters, the vast majority of it was actually filmed in front of a green screen, meaning that virtually all of the sets are completely computer-generated. You wouldn't notice if you hadn't been told, trust me.

The second awesome thing about this show is that it actually started as a web series, and when it became rather popular (for not actually being anywhere on TV) SyFy channel (or however you spell it) decided to pick it up for television. Since then, two seasons have aired, the third is halfway done (it returns on April 15), and it has already been renewed for a fourth season.

The third awesome thing about this show is Amanda Tapping. She is an awesome person. She's not the type of famous that appears in gossip columns, but she is incredibly talented - one of the very, VERY few actors/actresses that cries without attempting to remain pretty. She can also do a wicked awesome English accent - need I say more? She is also pretty much the cutest, most adorkable person I have ever seen - these 27 seconds pretty much sum it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_6DQNbjbow
Mini-fan: 1 Amanda: 0
And she's pretty, but in a real way, not the boring perfection that is almost exclusively what we see on television in this day and age. And did I mention that she's Canadian? LOVE.

I could go on forever, but you're probably tiring of me fangirling over Amanda, especially since none of you have ever heard of her. (If you HAVE heard of her, tell me. I'll be your best friend FOREVER because the only other fan of her I [sort of kind of] know lives in France. ;_;) This brings me to the FOURTH awesome thing about Sanctuary: the premise of the show. It's kind of hard to explain, so bear with me. I'll try my best. Basically, there's a whole shitload of awesome creatures on the earth called Abnormals - anything that is not currently known about by mainstream science. This includes mermaids; MANY human offshoots like psychics, werewolves, and people that can fold and collapse their skeletons to fit through small spaces; sentient lizard-like creatures; elementals; stuff that's just plain weird (dinosaur-insect hybrid, anyone?); and, of course, vampires. (Although trust me, these things totally pwn. There's no better way to describe it. Too bad they're kind of extinct.) The cast of characters includes James Watson (the 'real-life' inspiration for the Sherlock Holmes character), Nikola Tesla (the real dude that invented the radio, and half-vampire extraordinaire), Jack the Ripper (HELL YEAH), and Helen Magnus, the head of the Sanctuary network. The Sanctuaries are safe harbours for the Abnormals of the world, both to protect us from them and vice versa.

If you're still not convinced that this show is worth watching, watch the fifth awesome thing about this show: the trailer for Season Three. It not only introduces the season, it does a pretty nice job of summing up the previous two, and is a rare and incredible thing in that it is exactly as good as the show itself. It's a wee bit longer than most commercials, at 2 minutes and 40 seconds, but it is SO worth it. Whoever designed it totally deserves a really big high five. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDm1E9F2udw (By the way, the guy speaking is the main character, Will Zimmerman. Meh, he's rather awesome, but Amanda is cooler.)

IN BRIEF: Sanctuary is my favorite show of all time, Amanda Tapping is my idol and role model because she is a genuinely cool person, Nikola Tesla is the most badass half-vampire ever, and you should watch the trailer because it is the best trailer I have ever seen, and it is the awesome thing for today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDm1E9F2udw GOD DAMMIT IT IS AFTER MIDNIGHT. So technically, did I miss one day? Whatever.
