Hello my darling friends. I have decided to update. I know this will totally make your day. Or at least it better.

Many things are occurring, one of which I am being paid to do my homework. You only wish you were this lucky. I sit behind a desk for 8 hours at my Mom’s work, filling in for their secretary. And I just sit there and do nothing for hours on end. Like today for example I finished my history assignment book and now I have no more homework. So what do I do? I write a live journal post to later update, as I am not allowed to use LJ at work. So I’m using word and emailing it to myself to later post upon arrival at home. But it’s kinda boring here. Not much to do… Just sit and file occasionally. I have found a whole new respect for secretaries. They put up with a lot of people and a lot of boredom.

So that’s why I have been doing for the past week and a half. Now moving on to the exciting stuff you all would rather hear about. First things first I discovered something very alarming. I have over $2000 worth of manga, more if you add the anime in. AHHH! I’m going to die poor and alone with only my manga and movies to keep me company! Unless my charming friend swill keep me entertained in the insane asylum which brings me to my next great thing of…

Dr. Crane, I’ll be an inmate in your nut house any day… as long as you don’t wear the mask and settle for being downright unnerving. What does this have to do with anything? For those of you who don’t know what Nyssa loves, here’s a tip: Nyssa loves, comics, the Japanese, Fantasy and Sci-fi… well she loves other things to but relatively--… never mind. Guess what I saw yesterday! It was comicy… No, Not Fantastic Four. Saw that last week. Good but not… Gushy Good you know. Nyssa gets all babbly and nutso when something is gushy good. Fantastic Four goes under: Good as a movie but not… fantastic for lack of a less ironic word. No, I Saw BATMAN!!! (Cue really repetitive theme song… HA it’s in you head now isn’t it!) I thought it was very exceedingly stupendously good… Best comic-to-movie book since X-Men United. So Batman Begins.

I kinda miss Robin. Every Hero needs a side kick, even if it leads to speculation which is something that you should catch the drift of. But other then that my only complaint was that the ninjas… well… dressed like stereotypical ninjas, aka: black with… a mask that covers their head and… swirly cape like things… hey anyone else think this might be a problem when Batman has to fight them? You know… make it difficult to tell who the bloody hero is so we can go "Good punch, Bruce ol’ boy"! Growl and the blurry jolty cameras during the action didn’t make it better.

However Other then blurs, Robin-less-ness and the lack of being able to a.) identify or b.) see Batman, It had many strong points. Oh wait another slight downer that should be added. Katie Holmes…

Now I don’t MIND Holmes exactly. Hell I’ve watched Dawson’s Creek and sure, every once and a while you wanted to beat her over the head with a very large book(esp when she didn’t have the answer to the question about the Thoreau book, "Sharing"… Hello) but she was alright. Now what irks me is suddenly Tom Cruise went from being actor to Scientology converter-talk show arguer-physiatrist basher (maybe he saw Batman Begins)-celebrity disser-couch jumper. It upsets me, esp when I think of Mission Impossible and Risky Business, not to mention Jerry Maguire. ("You haven’t seen me very upset! Excuse me I must go jump on the couch in my underwear… and you know what while we’re at it Show me the Money for my Scientology wonder help guides!") Good lord Tom! Good Lord Kat… Need to buy a "Free Kate" shirt someday… *snickers* can anyone see me in that or…lol. Moving on… sorta. Holmes… well lets face it until I found out (in Japanese non the less) she was Dating Tom Cruise, I didn’t know that was the bloody girl’s name. I didn’t even connect Dawson and Batman. I was just like: "Oh look Dawson’s Creek is on… Look the Brunette whose name I can never remember" or "look it’s Batman’s Potential other who must either a.)die, b.) disappear in the sequel or c.) reject him breaking poor Bruce’s heart and making him into the helpless billionaire we all love." But to make matters worse I feel bad for the poor girl. Now boredom is bad, as I’m sure all of you know. But being stuck behind a desk for hours is well. Insane so you read the news and google things. I happened to have only a vague idea of what Scientology is so I decided to go check it our. I went to www.scientology.org and well… lets put it this way. If you are a scientologist, don’t read until it says in font like this "You can start reading again".

Here is a quick explanation about my studies. IT’S A VERY SCARY CULT! AHHH! Lets start with the first thing on the list of upsetness. This I think is why most people don’t like Christianity, Islam and Judaism in the strictest sense. Lack of open minds. Now I myself am a very open minded Christian. Hell I won’t give you shit about being anything unless you a.) try to convert me or b.) get in my face about it. Now Scientology’s little ditty is that it accepts all races. Now I read their mission statements and their ideals and all I could think about was… hey wait a sec. What about homosexuals. This is the biggest religious controversy next to abortion and the death penalty, so why are they being mum about it. So I decided to look it up on Wikipedia (thanks ezi) and essentially asked. What do they think about homosexuality? They seem so accepting and things. Here’s the link to the answer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology_and_Homosexuality , But I think I’ll sum it up as well. The guy who created Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, hated homosexuals, calling homosexuality an illness. His idea of perfection was a world free from insanity and war. Well homosexuality fell under insanity. So his way of dealing with it is akin to this other man whose idea of the perfect world did not include Jews. You guessed it, Concentration camps, although his PC version was having them "institutionalized". Hey wait, institutions fall under physiatrists… Scientologists don’t believe in that... wait… Also not to go all X-Files on you but Hubbard’s son was a homosexual druggie who died a mysterious death. Going back on topic, The Church says its not anti-homosexual and encourages them to join the church. This is where I start going "Brainwashing dead ahead" And what do you know Ex-scientologist gays say that it was one big homophobic cult. Now this is the part where I pick apart other religions as well. Let me phrase it simply. Religion can be good, it can be bad, one thing they are bad about is controversial issues. That’s all I’m going to say. Next part of my creepy vibes: L. Ron Hubbard himself.

Hubbard started scientology. His own sons did not like him okay. Now there are rumors, that I am not saying are true, that he once said "If you want to make a million dollars, start a religion". The fact that there is even a rumor of him having said this makes me slightly concerned. Onto the next odd thing. Ever wonder why it is called scientology. They’d have you believe its because of something to do with souls and inner people and the odd thing that reads your brain matter and auditing, but no. The reason why its called Scientology is because Hubbard was a SCI-FI WRITER!!! Yes you read that right, SCI-FI!!! Anyone else concerned when a sci-fi writer decided to create a religion or is it just me? Now next creepy thing is Scientology has aliens in it. TO quote a lovely site:

In the materials for OT III (Operating Thetan level 3), L. Ron Hubbard writes that, 75 million years ago, the head of the Galactic Federation, made up of 76 planets, was a being named Xenu. Faced with an overpopulation problem, he brought beings to this planet, blew them up with hydrogen bombs, and packaged them. Their spirits now infest our bodies: he says "One's body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body." Scientologists at this level try to rid themselves of these thetans (spirits) by helping each one to remember the painful experiences of being blown up like that.

Anyone else concerned?

Final little bit. My dad went to a church of Scientology once, just to check it out. And in his exact words "it’s a cult, they try to brainwash you." (I love my dad… does anyone else love my dad) he told his then best friend, who was curious, not to go, but then best friend went anyway and came out going "Why did you let me go?" Daddy responds with "I told you not to" "Yes but not forcefully enough." Daddy told me they are scarier then those lovely door to door people. He also said never give them an inch or argue with them. EX: Say, "no thanks I’m fine" versus "No thanks but I’m happy being a druggie who is sleeping with their same gender physiatrist"

One last quick creep out (okay a bit more later but) There is one part of the church that you swear to commit to the church for 1 billion years…

You can start reading again

Moving back to Tommy and Homosexuality now. I was looking at the Wikipedia site and on it was a bit about Cruise supposedly sleeping with Rob Thomas (Matchbox 20 guy who has the music video that makes your head spin while watching). Rob Thomas was more upset about being accused of being a scientologist then of being gay: "If I were gay," Thomas said, "Tom wouldn't be on the top of my list...It would be Brad Pitt." Here here Rob!

Now moving from Tom back to Kate and scientology. (Scientology people beware slight unashamed bashing is about to occur) I got my W magazine on Saturday and on the cover was Katie Holmes. I didn’t care as the first thing that caught my eye was in very big letters on the cover "Ewan McGregor On Booze, Sex and All Those Nude Scenes". I couldn’t resist, immediately went to page 192. But today I read the Katie Holmes article and was kinda weirded out. Holmes had a person along for the shoot named Jessica Rodriguez. They said they had been friends for "a while". Celebrities, know for having huge celebrations if their marriage makes it to ten years, still should not have this much of a warped sense of time. To Holmes and Rodriguez, a while is 6 weeks. Hell lets face it, I don’t trust people for at least the first 2 months and I certainly don’t let them monitor every facet of my life in relation to the religion of my potential significant other. Rodriguez was present at the interview the whole time, monitoring it. She also prompted Holmes a few times when Holmes described Cruise ("You adore him"). There are also rumors abound about why she pulled out of a movie (Factory Girl) saying that it was anti-scientology teaching.

Now that we have arrived back at Kate, time to return to Batman and Kate. I just thought that Kate seemed too young to be playing the hard ass DA she was supposed to be playing. If you are going to be hard ass, you must be able to convince the audience you are hard ass, not just some little girl playing with the justice system, trying to save the world. Also you cannot at the same time be both an idealist and a hard ass. You need to pick. It wasn’t written in for her to be a hard ass. She carries a taser instead of knowing martial arts. She could be tough but it was taken too far. I blame the directors for this part in trying to make her too tough. She also had a switchy personality, one second in your face, next screaming. It was upsetting. She looks like a little mouse next to everyone else. She also, although pretty, lost the prettiest person in the movie award. And I am not the only one with this opinion. Many on the web share it. She loses out to not only a guy but a bad guy. Oh dear. That’s right, She lost out to Cillian(Kill-ian) Murphy, aka Dr Johathan Crane, aka Scarecrow, aka Scary physiatrist who manipulates peoples fears in his asylum. To quote a site:

There will be no Robin sidekick cavorting in Gotham City next to Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), but there is a homoerotic evil-doer ,Dr. Jonathan Crane, a.k.a. Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy), who is much prettier and more seductive than Bruce’s ‘girlfriend’ Rachel Dawes (very tall, short-nosed Katie Holmes, looking very tired and in need of better lighting)... Crane is tiny, pouty, and feminine. He is much cuter than Holmes and better dressed. He struts the catwalk.

I spent the whole movie gawking at him. Yeah that’s right me, Nyssa spent a movie gawking at someone. Oh course he was criminally insane but hey, I do have some requirements. Now when I first saw him, it was on E-Online. I just glanced at him as I clicked away, barley catching his name and role. When I saw him in the movie, I gaped. I was positive he was not that pretty. Lets face it, Katie failed in her role as pretty female lead if she can be outdone by a blue eyed, glasses wearing MALE who, I think, may be scrawnier then I am. He also acts so unnervingly calm, until he gets his with his own evil brain powdery thingys and… falls of the deep end… very deep end… But he was pretty… Cept when he put on the mask… the mask was ugly. But the whole time I’m just sitting there going… "He’s creepier with the mask off… Pretty!" yes I know I have warped standards but he was really pretty… and creepy... **squeals**

Moving onto the last bit and then I promise I’ll stop warning you about the evils of the world.

I had a very hard dilemma this time I wrote my livejournal. Why? I had no subset line. So here are my subject line ideas that were rejected, and reasons why.

Blues eyes, baby face, brunette. 'Leggy' under the professional trousers. Subtext: men who invest too much time in personal grooming are psychotic, often homicidally so.

This one was from a website describing Dr. Crane. It made me laugh… a lot… and worry if my Birthday Twin is going to snap someday. JK Zac I love you… even if you do go nuts. This one was rejected because it wouldn’t fit.

When describing the person you love, you shouldn’t need someone who you’ve only known for 6 weeks giving you hints.

This one is me mocking Holmes and Rodriguez. I don’t want Stalker people monitoring me and answering for me, esp if they work for my BF. This one… well just wasn’t funny because the joke wouldn’t be explained for like ever and by then everyone would have forgotten.

"How many other men do you know who will sing

Carousel with you and then give you a ride home on his motorcycle?"

I pondered this quote by Scarlett Johansson about Ewan McGregor for like 12 seconds but it just didn’t… well I didn’t even write about Ewan McGregor that much.

It gave me an awful lot of power to be naked in front of a theater full of people

This is by Ewan McGregor but I could see you guys going "Ah Nyssa What are you doing?" Thinking its me talking and I don’t want to pay for the physiatrist bills… Unless it was Dr. Crane and I’d so pay for it.

Dylan Hunt

: In case of an emergency the ship can be piloted from the gunnery nose.
Charlemagne: Emergency? You mean in the event that the command deck crew was reduced to a fine red mist and splattered across the walls in a bloody mural?
Dylan Hunt: That would qualify, yes.
Now this one wouldn’t fit but hey, it made me laugh and it has Spike in it so I was a pretty happy camper. IMDB.com is evil

Tyr Anasazi

: What do you want?
Charlemagne Bolivar: The usual. Hundreds of grandchildren, domination of the known worlds and for all of my enemies to die in horrible accidents that can't be traced back to me. How about you?
Tyr Anasazi: The usual.

I want the usual Damnit! Well maybe someday. This one might have fit but I just didn’t want to try to make it fit… You know?

Spoilers and Bashing Ahead, watch for TomKats jumping in front of pretty crazy Psychologists on horses.

This is Nyssa trying to be funny. Get it. Like watch for curves ahead. TomKat… well its Tom and Katie and the pretty Psychologist should need no explaining.

I will fuck you, I will rape you, I will defile you and as you lay bleeding, dirty little thing, I will kiss you right before I blow you brains out.

Now why not this one I wonder? Maybe because it’s too long. Or maybe because it is just a tad bit too creepy. And yes this did come out of Nyssa’s warped little mind. Are you creeped out… good! Nyssa has a very angry twisted subconscious that follows words and sings to itself, example being above and another below.

I gave you life, I gave you breath, I gave you blood, I gave you death.

And

Feel the darkness feel the pain, feel the violence in our veins.

My subconscious sings a lot and it won’t shut up. So I have four on here, the last one is my closer.

Dr Crane isn’t here right now, but if you’d like to make an appointment…

Ah the one I actually chose, this is in fact a line from Batman Begins that Crane says himself after being sprayed by his own hallucinogen and forced to see scary things. He’s just finished being interrogated by Batman, who takes on the form of a hell beast in Crane’s panicked mind.

Well now that I am done. Sorry it’s so long. I’ll put how many words in my mood line. I need to shamelessly advertise for anyone to go see Batman Begins with me… Please… Anyone?

Sorry it was so long and you had to here me preach. I really am done now.

Loves

Nyssa

Pretty little children

Playing with Pretty little dolls

Pretty little deaths

Singing pretty little songs

Please take me with you to see Batman!!!!!!!!! I've kinda wanted to see it for awhile, what with Gary Oldman being in it and all. Then I heard sucky reviews and decided I'd wait till it got to the dollar movies. But now that I've read about Dr. Crane I HAVE to go see it. Plus it'd be cool to have someone to squeal over him with. (Stupid me thought you were talking about FRASIER for the first half of that entry :D )

Anyways I'm off tomorrow and Thursday and I'll let you know what my schedule for next week is, kay.

P.S. WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!
