Teddy Bear's Trombone.

              Hello! How's the weather where you are? It was quite warm here yesterday, I think they said on the news it was the hottest day since the 9th of September last year. I guess today didn't want to steal its thunder as it's overcast and drizzly. 

              Anyway, seeing as we're done with The Following, I found myself at a bit of a loss as to what to write, so I wrote down a list of 5 people/characters, 5 places and 5 objects, and put them into three separate piles. I find that this is a really great way of getting some fun and unexpected short stories, often causing you to write in a different style/genre to whatever you're used to. It's also a really good way to get over writer's block. Anyway, you pick out one from each pile, so it ends up being like my Jeff and the Giant Apple post from a while ago, which began as 'a painted, an apple, and an abandoned castle.'
                I decided to pick them all out in their trilogies, so I may use the others in the future, but the first one I picked out happened to be 'a teddy bear, a shopping centre, and a trombone'. God only know where this is going.

A Sunday in the heart of May,

I took teddy to the shops to play,

His trombone made of finest gold,

He would not even let me hold,

The instrument when it was cold;

My teddy bear’s trombone.

He plays it every day and night,

He blows and blows with all his might,

He played today for just three hours,

No-one’s face had even soured,

They underestimated the power;

Of teddy bear’s trombone.

A woman spoke about her diet,

I didn’t notice it go quiet,

I turned around to see no bear,

There was a distinct void just there,

I couldn’t help but stop and stare,

There was no bear and no trombone.

It seemed that someone had stolen teddy,

And on my feet became unsteady,

I looked in every shop I saw,

Not just peering ‘round the door,

And then I saw upon the floor,

My teddy bear’s trombone.

‘Where has he gone?’ I asked myself,

And when I looked upon the shelf,

I saw my teddy sitting there!

Who would take a little bear,

And make him sit so high up there?

Leaving him with no trombone.

I took him down and brushed him off,

With little bits of purple cloth,

I took him to the pretzel stand,

And put a treat into his hand,

He played until he earned a grand,

On his shiny gold trombone.

          So, that went in a far different direction than I expected it to, it also took me quite a while due to the strange rhyme scheme. I hope you enjoyed reading this, it was fun for me to write!
        The other combinations were 'a boat, a philanthropist and a boot', 'a refugee, a factory and an ice cream', and 'a sauna, a magician and a frisbee'. If you're inspired by any of these, or inspired to try your own, why not email me the results? My email is in my new 'Talk to Me' page at the top ^^^^ and I'll make another new page for featured posts!
            Okay, next week, there won't be any posts, as I am going abroad for a week, flying out at 7:30 am tomorrow morning, and flying back the following Saturday. I did manage to find a blogger app, so I may be able to post something general one day if I can get wifi, but there won't be anything fancy, and it'll be even more off schedule than normal.

                              Have a great couple of weeks! Until the next time,
                              take care and lots of love! Laura

The Films of Summer 2013 - Mini Reviews.

        Hey there! Today, I'm sort of winging the post a bit, fear not - it's still a review! However, I've seen nothing new, I've read a book or two, but I've already gushed about how much I adore James Herbert, so I don't suppose those would be of much interest to you. So, I love films, but am not likely to see a new one for a couple of weeks, so I thought, with so many coming out recently and in the near future, I'd put up a few trailers, and then review those. Then, when I see the actual film and review that, I can refer back to these mini reviews and say whether or not the trailer did the film justice. 

           Before we begin, all of the videos I'll be putting on here are from YouTube: I do not own any rights to them and do not gain anything for actually posting them or talking about them, apart from a warm fuzzy feeling inside when the post gets viewed. So, without further ado...

       300: Rise of an Empire - I didn't realise until I watched this trailer a week or so ago that I remember very little about its prequel. However, I have to say that this looks pretty great. I love an action movie and I know I loved 300, even if I don't remember a lot of it. I'm likely to go and see this, but I'll have to rewatch the first one before hand.

        

         The Hangover: Part 3 - I had my reservations about this, I really did. I wondered if there was even a point to making a third part of something that had two very similar prequels, how they'd go about not repeating the same jokes that were in the other two. However, I saw the full trailer when I went to see Star Trek, and I was actually really pleasantly surprised. It seems like they've got a different kind of storyline but still have some genuinely funny jokes. I only hope that they haven't put all of the funny bits in the trailer, making the actual film a let down.

        Scary Movie 5 - I know this has been out for ages, it came out in April. But I can't get over how terrible it looks. I know the acting in the Scary Movie franchise has always been overstated and that's not my issue with it. My issue is that they should have stopped at two, three at a push. There is no need for this, and parodying Inception goes against the grain a little for me, being as it's not a horror movie. You can make reference to Scary Movie 1 having references to The Usual Suspects, but really, that was just a nod, and was done quite tastefully. I won't pay to see this film, it's likely to be the kind of thing I go on a Twitter rant about rather than review on here, although I may, now I've mentioned it on here.

    

          The World's End - I can't wait for this. I really like the other Simon Pegg/Nick Frost films. I love the British humour, the sarcasm, the way it goes from being a relatable film about a group of guys going on a pub crawl, to including what look like robots/aliens/cyborgs. I love the nod to the fence jumping in Hot Fuzz, I love Martin Freeman, and I love that Mark Heap (Green Wing, Saturday Night Dinner) is in it, if only for a little while. I will definitely see this film, and I'm certain I will love it for all of its quirky charm and humour.

         The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug - Yes, yes, yes. I am excited about this, I love the Lord of the Rings films so much, and I loved the first part of this trilogy too, so I'm so excited for this instalment. Initially, people were questioning whether there needed to be three Hobbit films when there was only one book, when LOTR is a trilogy, taken from a trilogy. My argument - there is a lot of content that was not included in the LOTR films, and if Peter Jackson had included every damn song that the hobbits sing throughout, there would have likely been nine films instead of three. Also, if there is enough material to warrant three films, then I say go for it. How rushed would The Hobbit have been if all of this had been in it as well? You'd never get to know the characters and empathise with their plight, and it would be really confusing as there would be way too many people and too much jumping around. Let's not forget that this is Tolkien. Anyway, I think this trailer is great, and I can't wait for this film.

          Despicable Me 2 - This looks so cute, I love the minions and thought the first film was great. It's a film which is engaging for kids and funny to adults. I think there's a longer trailer out there somewhere, which has more to do with Gru and the girls, but this was one of the best ones I could find on YouTube. It's very, very likely that I'll go and see this film when it comes out.

         Monster's University - The prequel/sequel to Monster's Inc. looks great. I like that some of the monsters other than Mike and Sully from the original are present - it gives it a really nice dynamic. Also, the fact that Mike and Sully do not immediately get along and are rivals is particularly nice, as there is room for some really great character development. I have to say, the part which depicts their halls experience reminds me so much of my first year at university, just socialising and generally causing havoc. Again, this is a film which can be enjoyed by the whole family, at any age group. I'm hoping to go and see this with my dad, as I saw the first one with him when it came out all those years ago.

                                Overall, I give the films of summer 2013 4 pandas. 

          And that's it from me for now. Thursday will be a creative piece as per usual, it may be a bit later in the day, however, as I have a busy busy day planned! Have a great week! I'll see you on Thursday.

      

                                   Thanks for reading! Laura

The Following - Part 9

            Hey everyone! I hope you're having a great week! As I said, this is the last part of The Following. It's a bit longer than previous ones but I didn't want to drag it out any more for you guys, and I'm looking to write some different stuff now. I've almost had enough of violence and blood for a while now. (Almost) So, with that in mind, I hope you enjoy the last bit of this story.

http://www.polyvore.com/bloody_butcher_knife_bloody_butcher/thing?id=11594980

             ‘Now, he’s told us his story – what’s your version of events?’ He seemed friendly enough, but I didn’t want to upset the old lady from downstairs by lying. I was also scared she’d hate me if I told the truth.

‘He knocked on the door and then he came in before I tod him he could and then we had a chat and then we had a fight.’

‘What was the chat about?

‘…His girlfriend’

‘What about her?’

‘I’m sure he told you.’

‘Yes, he said some things, but we wanted to hear it from you. What did he say about his girlfriend?’

‘That I’d been following her.’

‘Have you?’ I glanced sheepishly at the old lady next to me. She nodded her support, never ceasing to cleanse my wounds. I felt all the anger I’d ever felt being lifted from my soul as she wiped.

‘Go on, dear, it’s best to tell the truth. You’ll be respected much more if you do.’ I looked back at the policeman.

‘Yes.’ I muttered.

‘Why don’t you tell me about it? When did it start?’

‘I saw her at the train station and she looked really sad. I followed her to make sure she was going to be okay and she was. Then I kept seeing her around and making sure she was okay. Then I got used to going out when she did, and she didn’t seem to mind so I carried on.’

‘So she knew about this?’

‘Not exactly. Then one night I saw that the telly was flickering, so I climbed up to her balcony to watch it with her. I was nice to feel so close to her. I just wanted to be close to her.’

‘Did you ever approach her?’

‘No.’

‘Did she ever appear scared?’

‘She never noticed me.’

‘We’ll have to question her.’

‘That’s fine, I guess I’m going to prison anyway.’

‘It’s unlikely, especially if she was never fearful or apprehensive of any force. We’d recommend that you get some sort of therapy – this sort of behaviour is not healthy.’ I nodded at my knees. I felt like a child again. In a way, I felt like I was being rebuilt.

‘Are you kidding? He doesn’t get jail time?’ The intruder had a rekindled fire in his eyes and appeared to be steaming. I hated him. The policeman moved over to the guy and tried to calm him. The old lady finished cleaning my face and smiled at me.

‘How about a cup of tea?’ I smiled back, she was right, I did feel better after being cleansed. I felt stronger.

‘Actually, I think I’ll be fine now, thank you.’ I took the bowl from her lap and moved into the kitchen with it. She stood up, smiled at me and shuffled her way out of my apartment. I tipped the bloody water into the sink, enjoying the gurgling sound it made as the drain forced it down, choking on it. I looked up at him, I wished he’d choke on it.

I heard my neighbour from the floor above slam his front door, returning home from a tiring day at Burger King. His heavy footsteps resonated through my ceiling, making the lights flicker. The flickering caught something on the floor to my left and made it flash. I saw the knife and knew what I had to do; I had to kill him so I could have her to myself.

I took the broom from the corner and began to sweep the debris from the floor, making sure I took the knife with me. He looked towards me and his eyes widened.

‘Hey! No look at him! He has a knife he’s going to kill us!’ He was panting, I moved the broom over the knife and leant on it casually.

The largest policeman sighed. ‘I’m getting real sick of your tactics. Jordan, could you check that Mr Steadman doesn’t have a knife. Make it snappy - I wanna get outta here, my wife’s got a casserole cookin’’ The medium policeman walked over to me, his demeanour was cockier than the other two, I got the feeling he hadn’t been on the force long and still felt like he had some power. I shrugged at the man as he looked over the counter to the floor.

‘No knife, just wood splinters’ I bent down and took the dustpan and brush from the cupboard and began to sweep up the door fragments.

‘Okay, let’s get outta here. Come on.’ The largest policeman hauled my attacker from his chair and moved towards the door. I moved around the counter top and stood beside the open door. The smallest policeman went first – ‘Sorry about your door.’ He muttered, his hands thrust deep into his pockets. The largest policeman barged through the door after him, nodding to me and grunting something I couldn’t understand under his breath. It sounded like an agreement to the small one’s apology.

The intruder was being pushed along by ‘Jordan’, he was being difficult and as he was coming towards me he glared. I smiled at him as he was on the way past and plunged the knife into his gut. His eyes widened once again, this time fear overpowering the anger. I stared straight into his eyes as I twisted the knife, enjoying the pained grimace on his face. Jordan seemed oblivious to it, so pushed the man onwards, increasing his pain. I was still twisting, by now I was clenching my teeth and the policemen in the hall had started to turn. I pulled the blade back out and forced it into his neck. There were yells all around me and something warm was splashing over all of us.

My vision had started to blur and everything sounded as though I had cotton wool in them. I was no longer in control of my actions, or even my body. The rage had engulfed me, the way it always had. This time, it was different though – my heart was beating so fast that it frightened me, and I felt an intense pain in my right arm. I slumped to the floor beside my attacker, feeling my breaths becoming shorter and more desperate. I was vaguely aware of some shouting as my consciousness trickled away for the last time.

           Hope you liked it! That's been going on for something like three months now, so if you have any ideas for content you'd like to read about, I'm open to suggestions, so drop me a comment. I have no idea yet what Tuesday's review will be, so again, if you have any ideas or requests, comment on here, tweet me, all of that stuff! 

            Have a great weekend and thanks for reading! Laura

Game of Thrones series 3

          Hey, everyone! I can't believe I've managed to post a review on the right day, during the day! It almost feels like I'm doing something wrong. Anyway, like I said on Thursday, today is a review of the 3rd series of HBO's Game of Thrones, which ended in the UK last night. If you're yet to watch the series, I suggest you stop reading after watching the trailer which I've included here for the fun of it. If it's the last episode you haven't watched, there really isn't much for me to ruin in the last episode, so you *should* be safe. Anyway, exercise caution! 

                If you haven’t yet watched the third series of GoT yet, I don’t recommend you read much further.

                The third series of Game of Thrones premiered on 1^st of April this year (UK) and has been a rollercoaster of a series. With rising tensions between the Lannisters and everyone else, including themselves, and Daenerys building her army, the series as a whole has certainly not been a disappointment.

                  

                   *SPOILER ALERT*SPOILER ALERT*SPOILER ALERT*SPOILER ALERT*

                It’s difficult to say what the main focus of the series has been, being as everyone is a main character and they’re all at war with each other, but the things that I think have been the best parts of the series have been:

     - My feelings of empathy towards Theon when I ended the last series being so angry with him for betraying Robb. Of course I feel empathetic though – he’s been tortured, then freed, but not really freed because Ramsay Snow is extremely psychotic, then he’s tortured some more and now he’s a eunuch. None of this is in the books, yet the inclusion of it has really worked because, I think, if Theon had been absent from the next two series and told all of this in retrospect, it would seem like there was a huge gap – not only because it would leave audiences thinking ‘Well why didn’t you show all of this then? It can’t have been as bad as all that’ and also simply because he was such a major character in the first two series.

      - Daenerys’ takeover of Astapor which was just incredible. It’s no secret to anyone that I completely adore Daenerys – so I was always going to be happy when she made the 8,000 unsullied turn on their own enslavers, and burned a city to the ground with a dragon which is not even fully grown. Before that though, the part that had me literally cheering was when she spoke to the unsullied in their own language, turning to their previous ‘owner’ and screaming that he’d been calling her a whore in her mother tongue. That, ladies and gentlemen, was beautiful.

      - Jaime Lannister becoming one of my favourite characters. He’s grown as a person, realising he can’t just use his father’s name to get out of trouble. More than that, he walked away from a bear and a huge group of angry men without the use of his fighting hand.

       - Cercei’s face when she was told she is going to be married to Sir Loras Tyrell.

       - When Arya told the Hound completely calmly that one day she’d put a knife through his eye. That was great.

       - Daario Naharis. 

      - When Jaime came back and went to Cercei. As much as I dislike her most of the time, that part was really quite endearing and heart-warming.

     - The Red Wedding scene. Now, I didn’t enjoy this part because it was heart-breaking and left me feeling devoid of any emotion for at least a day, however, it was extremely well done. The things which made it most crushing were the fact that Jeyne Westerling had just told him that she would name their son after Eddard Stark. God, the last fifteen minutes of that episode were awful. In a good way, sort of.

                The only issue I have with the Red Wedding being so explosive is that it made the final episode seem dull. There were clearly some good things which happened and I did enjoy it, perhaps I am still slightly devoid of emotion after last week’s episode as well. The ending to the series was heart-warming, which I appreciated and I have definitely been left wanting more. The next series is being filmed and is due to be televised in 2014.

                Overall, I give this series of GoT four and a half pandas, I’d give it five if I didn’t feel like the final episode felt a bit flat. Feel free to disagree, but it felt like the kind of groundwork I’d expect from episode 1 of a series. 

               Drop me a comment below if you agree/disagree, which parts were your favourite? What did you hate? Who is your favourite character? Who do you hate? How many pandas would you give this series? All of that stuff. If I ruined anything for you, feel free to comment but don't expect much sympathy because you were warned on multiple occasions that there would be big spoilers! Thursday will be the last part of The Following, so come back for that!

                Have a great week and thanks for reading! Laura

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

http://www.wallgc.com/outer-space-quotes-douglas-adams-the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-2264/

          

            As it goes, I'm glad this post has ended up being written/posted in a Thursday, as one of my favourite quotes from the first book in the 'trilogy of five' happens to be Arthur Dent's revelation that 'it must be a Thursday - I could never get the hang of Thursdays.' 

http://thepattieproject.wordpress.com/2012/04/26/the-hitchhikers-guide-to-the-galaxy-and-humorous-severity-12/

           The phenomenon began in 1978 as a radio comedy broadcast by the BBC, the books of which were published between 1979 and 1992. In addition to this, it was made into a TV series in 1981, a computer game in 1984, three comic-book series published by DC comics and a Hollywood film in 2005. The third, fourth and fifth books were adapted into radio series between 2004 and 2005. In 2009, Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer published the sixth installment of the series, titled And Another Thing...

          I discovered HHGTTG when I was 18, during my A-levels when I assume I was supposed to be writing an essay or revising for an exam. I read the first couple of chapters of the first book and as soon as I got home, ordered the whole 'trilogy of five'. The first film I ever downloaded from iTunes was the 2005 film. I became quietly obsessed, as I do with many things which often turn out to be a flash in the pan. This, however, has lasted for the best part of four years now, and isn't really showing any signs of diminishing. 

          As I became familiar with the books before I ever heard the radio series, I always take the books as my base. The book, however, is almost identical to the radio script, which - personally - I like, because it means that whichever one you come across first, you are not disappointed by the other. The radio show being so close to the book's contents means that it sounds like an audiobook, except all of the characters have their own voice and there are some really great sound effects. One of my absolute favourite things about the radio series is that they use the back-track from a Pink Floyd song at one point, which also just so happens to be from my favourite album. 

             If you haven't seen the film, I recommend it. It's not a heavy-going sci-fi but it's not slapstick or stupid so it should appeal to a fairly wide audience. Here's the trailer, which is also really fantastic:

           I often find myself disappointed by film adaptations of hugely popular books, however I was really, really pleasantly surprised by this adaptation, directed by Garth Jennings and starring Martin Freeman and Mos Def. In addition to it being a good adaptation in general - as it's pretty true to the first book throughout, only changing the ending so as to have more of a rounded off sort of effect - the casting is simply wonderful. Mos Def brings Ford Prefect to life, and Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent is so heart-warmingly lovable. The rest of the cast are fantastic too, with Stephen Fry providing the voice-over, including excerpts from the Guide itself, Zooey Deschanel playing the part of Tricia 'Trillion' Macmillon, Bill Nighy playing the role of a man who's name does not matter. (Slartibartfast)  Other cast members are no less significant, including the likes of Dame Helen Mirren, Bill Baily, Sam Rockwell and Alan Rickman, among other notable names, making the film familiar on a level other than the fact that it's quite similar to the first book. 

            The success of HHGTTG has sparked its very own day of celebration/commemoration; the 25th of May was pronounced 'towel day' back in 2001, two weeks after the death of author Douglas Adams, where fans carry a towel with them. This is due to the significance of towels in the series,which is described in the 'guide' as follows: 

              'A Towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V...More importantly, a towel has an immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (non-hitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has a towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits...Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have 'lost'.' (pg. 22) 

             The thing which really makes me adore the series is Douglas Adams' 'voice' throughout - he never tries to over-simplify over over-complicate, he is sarcastic and witty, and writes as though he's telling you everything over a cup of coffee. In short, it is a casual easy read/watch/listen. I'd be pretty happy to read this to a child, with the omission/amendment of a few words here and there, as it is so easy-going, it's easy to get into, it's easy to love the characters, it's easy to stick with. It's a great book for the train, it's good background noise, it's a good film to watch late at night when you can't sleep too well, or even if you're a bit sleepy - it doesn't take too much thought and the bits that do are explained by Stephen Fry.

               I think it's pretty clear that I adore this series in many of its forms, and I would recommend it so much to anyone who'll listen. If you've not read/seen/heard it, I emphatically urge you to, if you have, pop a comment below what your favourite part is, your favourite character, etc., Maybe even some fun movies facts or blooper type things. For now though...

              So that was this week's review, I'll include a link to the radio series on here, which should link to a playlist someone has helpfully made which has all the parts in order. Next week, we're back to the normal Tuesday review/ Creative Thursday, so Tuesday will be a review of series 3 of Game of Thrones. Thursday is likely to be the last bit of The Following too, so if you have any suggestions for things you'd like to see in the future, drop me a comment, or tweet me @EmphaticPanda. Until Tuesday, lots of love!
               Oh! Oh! I forgot! FIVE PANDAS!

The Following - Part 8

           Yes, you did read the title correctly, I've switched this week around! Basically, I haven't finished reading the 'trilogy of five' and I want this Hitchhiker's post to be as good and as well informed as it can be, so I want to finish it before I do the post. But, I wanted to post as well, so I thought it'd be better to just put this on a few days early and give myself a few more days to hitchhike. 

            I'm also sorry it's so late in the day, (in that it's Wednesday) I usually try to upload at about 3, but I went out for a quick drink which lasted for 5 hours. So, without further ado...

                             

http://www.sharks-diving.com/shark-myth-busted/

             

           I regained control of my senses some time later; I’d been placed on the sofa with a tea-towel under my face to catch the blood which had now congealed and caked around my face. I still couldn’t open my left eye and the vision in the other was fuzzy at best. I blinked a few times and it cleared a little. I had to raise myself to a seated position in stages, my shoulder weak from its meeting with the table leg. My head throbbed so painfully that I thought for a moment I would either vomit or pass out again.

I looked around the room slowly – there were three policemen, my elderly neighbour from downstairs, and my attacker was seated across the room with his hands cuffed behind his back. Seeing him handcuffed when I was the true criminal made me smile, although to them it looked like a grimace. My elderly neighbour was hovering as if there were hot coals beneath her feet and she was wringing her ancient hands together. She made a sympathetic noise somewhere between a groan and ‘oh, bugger it!’ and shuffled quickly into the kitchen where she began filling the washing up bowl with warm water. I watched as the largest of the three policemen questioning the intruder and I grinned again. The old lady sat down next to me delicately. She swirled around a cloth in the semi-warm water and paused as she wrung it out.

‘I just want to clean you up a bit, dear, I can stand you looking this way and I think you’d feel much better. Now, tell me if I’m being too rough and I’ll do my best to be more gentle.’ She began dabbing at my face. I flinched at first, knowing how vicious my grandmother had seemed cleaning my wounds as a child. After three or four strokes, I discovered she was the most compassionate and merciful people I’d met. She poked her tongue out in concentration as if she were knitting and had the look of a concerned mother as she cleaned my wounds. I felt a burst of affection for her and wanted to cling onto her as if she were the mother I’d been missing. A tear ran down my cheek and I bit my lip. She wiped replaced the cloth in the reddening water and took hold of one of my hands. She wiped the tear from my face and kept her hand on my cheek for a while as she lifted my head so that my eyes met hers. I raised her hand and kissed it. She smiled and continued her quest to cleanse my face.

        After ten minutes or so, I noticed that the policemen had converged in the centre of the room and were whispering. I began to grow anxious again. The old woman seemed to sense my tension and squeezed my hand – she’d been holding it since she’d taken it in hers before. The smallest of the three policemen broke from the group and moved towards me.

  

          Next week the ordering should be back to normal! Come back Thursday for the feature on Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy series/radio show/film etc., I hope you enjoyed this bit, I think there will only be one more part after this, which, for once, is mostly written! Therefore, it may actually be uploaded at the time I intend it to be. 

            Have a great week and thanks for reading! Laura
