Batman reviews The Dark Knight

Tomorrow I'm going to the San Diego COMIC CON! Comics! Movies! Games! Famous people! Free stuff! Es gonna be crazay.

And SPEAKING of comics, here's Batman reviewing his latest movie.

Happy Fifth of July!

Today is not July 4th. It is July 5th. But would that stop me from making a Kanga post? Would the idea of posting on a somewhat insignificant day deter me from delivering my thoughts to yours? DON'T BE PREPOSTEROUS! Be awesome.

This week felt like my first REAL week of summer because this is how most of my weeks will go. Here is my lovely sheh-jool:

Mon-Thurs Days

7:30am-9:30am = Run!
Yes, I love to run, WHAT OF IT?! I run here and there around the places near my house. Although running by my lonesome Kevin is a lot harder and boring than it looks (I think), but at least I get to do fun post-workouts with Elizabeth... which consists of 10 minutes of exercise and 20 minutes of lazy. I thrive on the lazy.

1:00pm-2:00pm = Work
Yknow the problem with teaching at Quest Learning Center is that I don't have to take roll, so I can't really learn the students' names. I've resorted to identifying the children with just general descriptions such as "kid with the glasses", or "girl with the pencil". I've even called someone "boy with the hair" one time, but he didn't respond to that alias.

4:30pm-5:00pm = Nap...

5:45pm-10:00pm = Art class
I never really had time to talk about my art class! Partly because there's nothing really of interest to talk about. The class is basically goes like this: "Here are some random art pieces via computer projector! Now here's what we're gonna draw. Here's how to draw it. Now draw it." My teacher, Mr. Dimichelle, is a very normal, nice middle-aged teacher. But MAN, what is it with teachers and being nooby booby with computers?? Like one time Mr. Dimichelle searched for pictures using google, and every time he wanted to start a new search, he would close the window and open up a new one! Instead of just, I don't know, PRESSING THE "BACK" BUTTON...

So that's all the excitement my summer will hold!

Every.

Single.

Week.

I am quite the busy bee! I go from runner to teacher to artist! My mind hasn't worked this hard since I tried to understand that third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Freakin' weird Jamaican voodoo lady...

But to fill in my free time, I've been doing various stimulating activities, such as... ANIMATING! It's so fun. I just spent the last two weeks (about one hour a day) animating this Batman animation! This means I probably won't make a whole movie out of him. (click on GO!)

IT'S NOT WHO I AM UNDERNEATH... BUT WHAT I DO, THAT DEFINES ME.

I don't think those are the exact words he used in the movie, but close enough!

The last thing I want to talk about is my Fourth of July day, but I dunno how to make a divider to change topics, so I'll just...

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

There ya go.

FUN OF JULY!

Friday? PARTY DAY! Fourth of July? DOUBLE PARTY DAY! Party, as in go to cross country practice and run. YAY...

For XC, we ran to the mall to eat at Yogurtland and OH MAN WAS IT GOOD. Sure, I've had "frozen" yogurt before, but frozen yogurt after a 3 MILE RUN? 10x the deliciousness! Actually maybe like 3 times the deliciousness. I even named my combo of fruity yogurt and ingredients: "Fruit Surprise!" (Okay, yeah my naming abilities were a bit low at the time.) The concoction consisted of everything at Yogurtland that was fruity. PLUS MOCHI. Mochi sounds like a Pokemon. Special attack? Fatty Delicious Beam.
After a nice 4th of July dinner (I ate shish (no kabob)), I went out to watch fireworks with friends HOORAY FRIENDS! The fireworks show at the library was really a bit disappointing... some parts were pretty fantastical, but the middle was kinda eehhh, and there was pretty much no finale! WHAT DA FIREWORKS I say! The show should end like "WOW! That was amazing! I like the part where... the end! Yeah I liked the end!" It shouldn't be like "Oh. It's over? It's over! Well that was interesting." And just to mock us, they fired some works AFTER the prerecorded announcer thanked us for watching. Freakin' disembodied voices. But es coo, fireworks are always nice to watch in general.

Afterward we went a la casa de Shelley and watched the first half of Robots. Ewan McGregor sure does a lot of voice work.

And that was my week!

TADA!

the end!

...Dadadada!

What more do you want.

The Plans Of Summer, 2008 Edition!

This is a do-something summer. I will not spend every day sitting on my butt playing Mario Kart Wii, watching children's shows such as Ni Hao, Kai-lan, and or looking at Youtube videos of guys floating in helium jeans. I will be productive, constructive, and maybe even a little seductive. My plans for the next two months are to actually HAVE plans.

So, as seen in my AIM profile, here's what I got so far! More lists. Oh boy.

Work on...
Art ante - If your name is not Kevin Lam, then there is a slight possibility that you did not know my career goal: to become an animator! Of some sort. Just something related to the entertainment business is fine with me, except not the XXX kind of entertainment. But I am young and I do need the money... HAR HAR okay I hope that wasn't awkward BUT ANYWAY. For me to shuffle closer to being a pro animator, I'm gonna work on art pieces to add to my portfolio! Hah... yeah I'll be lucky to churn out just one piece by the end of summer. I SHALL TRY MY BEST!

Comiclub stuff - What's the best kind of club? A COMICLUB! Well, a PREPARED COMICLUB! Therefore, I shall devote a fraction of my time to planning out next year's activities and events and stuff. Oh man, get ready for superhero costumes.

FLASH MOVIE! - AAHHH GUYS! Guys, as in Caroline Darren Kristina! WE HAVETA WORK ON THIS... Our Flash movie about our class... first we should rewrite our script. I dunno how we're gonna finish on time. Actually, I really wanna make a flash movie about Batman! I told Batman about my idea of me making a movie about him, and this is what he had to say:

REALLY? ME, IN MY OWN ANIMATED MOVIE? I AM VERY EXCITED. WILL THERE BE BATS IN MY MOVIE? WAIT A MINUTE. WHAT AM I SAYING. OF COURSE THERE WILL BE BATS IN MY MOVIE. NO BATS IN A BATMAN MOVIE IS LIKE NO FISH IN AN AQUAMAN MOVIE. WAIT A MINUTE. AQUAMAN NEVER HAD HIS OWN MOVIE. MAYBE IF HE HAD BATS, HE WOULD HAVE HIS OWN MOVIE. THE BATS COULD WEAR LITTLE SNORKELS OVER THEIR TINY HEADS. HEY, AND I CAN USE MY BATFLIPPERS TO SWIM AROUND. CAN MY MOVIE BE ABOUT ME AND MY BATS BATTLING THE FORCES OF THE OCEAN? I ALREADY THOUGHT OF THE TITLE: BATMAN AND BATS: THE UNDERWATER EXPERIENCE. I'M NOT SURE HOW AQUAMAN WOULD FIT IN. MAYBE IF HE WERE A BAT, HE COULD BE IN MY MOVIE. HE COULD BE BATAQUAMAN. MAKE SURE YOU WRITE MY IDEAS DOWN.

I hate it when Batman replies to my emails.

SAT - More like SAD. I'm planning on taking the test in October (or November at the latest), so I better start-a-studying! And after I take it and the ACT, I SHOULD BE DONE WITH MY TESTING! woots.

Computer building? - Sooo a few weeks ago my dad convinced me to build my own computer this summer. He's really pushing me into becoming technologically adept, which I guess is a good thing. OH DUDE I should make my computer look like Wall-E! Haha, I wouldn't mind DESIGNING a snazzy lil computer, but making the insides of one is a much different challenge.

Go to...
Body World - What is Body World, you ask? It's a thingy at the California Science Center that shows a bunch of exhibits of the human body. Like, yknow, a thingy of a body without the skin so it's just like all muscles. Something like that. There's also this one place called the Nice Body World. It has one exhibit which is conveniently right where I am sitting. Ladies...

A theme park!! - Any one is fine. Disneyland? Six Flags? Universal Studios? ALL OF THOSE?! Just not Knott's Berry Farm. If I go there, it wouldn't feel special enough. No o'fence Mr. Farm, you have a berry nice place and all, but I'm just knott feeling it. BUHZING!

And uh...
Run! - Yknow, I've become one of those running freaks. When I was a freshman I used to look at all the running seniors and they were like "Oh I love running! Lalala! 3 mile love!" and I would be like "Okays guys yous ares weirds" (but not to their faces). They were running freaks. And what am I saying now as a senior? "Oh I love running! Lalala! Rubber track love!". Never thought that would happen. So to keep up with my running freak of nature image, I'm gonna run in the morning until August when I will join my fellow runners at afternoon XC practice. VIVA LA... running!

Jobjobjob - If you go back in time (or scroll the page down), you can read the post about how I got my teaching job! 4 HOURS A WEEK! Teaching kids how to draw comics. The "teaching" I am excited for. The "kids" I am scared to death for.

Art classes at CCC - Everything should be rated PG at these classes, but Dear God, please don't make me draw a naked person. Actually, I'll probably have to get used to drawing the nude, huh... Well, if I get a barebody visual slap across my virgin eyes, I will try to position myself at an angle where the only revealing part is the aft end.

Here's to hoping I am in successful in everything I just listed! This sure is a nice list. I can tell you my love for it will still be strong, after the plans of summer have gone.
