Eye of the tiger

[secondlina]

Paintball is fun, but you're always sore after. And you have little round bruises. That's what Link discovered this weekend.

And those of you who use Tiger Balm know that it's awesome. It's like the Force was blended into a jelly. And then infused with ancient Kung Fu. I recommended it for all your sore muscles. And even for your "that-time-of-the-month" back pain. Be warned that the super-concentrated smell will last a while. It's not a bad smell. It's kinda like spices. Epic spices. Gathered by minotaurs in fields of fire. Available in your local pharmacy in the "natural" section, that should be renamed "badass" for containing this!

This week started off okay. Monday always has the weird clients with the weirdest questions. I have no idea why. It's like they practice over the course of the weekend.

Many thanks to kokumi009  for this amazing Muse fanart (Click here to see it!). It's been a while since I drew my muse. Though I think she almost does better then me!

I had a pretty long discussion the other day with queenofthecute  about fans made videos and their pure awesome.

Discovered these lately :
- Epic Shugo Chara - A cute magical girl anime is made epic by changing the music and cutting the scenes quicker.
- Gift and curses - Avatar the last Airbender music fan video - one of queenie's favorites
- Legend of Zelda Trailer - Wondering what the live action movie might look like? These cosplayers did.
- Princess Tutu Epicness - again, a cute magical girl anime (with a side of tragic) turned into something extremely epic.
- Bossy merlin - Disney face characters never cease to amuse.

Behold!

OMFG TIGER BALM. I REMEMBER THIS STUFF. I USED TO SMELL IT AS A KID, BECAUSE I'M DEMENTED AND LOVE SMELLS.

HOLY CRAP!!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

It's a good smell. THE SMELL OF EPIC SPICES GATHERED BY MINOTAURS IN FIELDS OF FIRE.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

That description is so perfect it brings tears to my eyes.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

PS! I'm so glad you joined our RP! It's gonna be so much fun!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, with that i'm going to be in three different RPs with different group of friends. Two avatar and one with dragons. It keeps things interesting!

I'm not really sure who i'm going to wind up with. I applied for Sokka or Azula. Though i'd be up for Mai or Toph as well.

Or Haru's Stache, the most important character of all. XD

I think i'd have fun with insane Azula.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Dude, don't destroy yourself! Pace yourself, or else you'll start dreaming in character!

Harustache =DDD

Let me know if you're serious about Mai - I currently have dibs, but I'm not opposed to giving up a character as I have two (and don't like being greedy). I could give you the password to the journal I already made and everything.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Naw, I just want one character. They can decide which one. I never played like that, so I don't really get it. It will take a while before I get it methinks.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

Well, let both Angel and Melissa know you're eyeing Mai, too =D.

And neither have I! It'll be interesting to learn.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

hahaha, it's one of the reasons I would kinda prefer a girl to Sokka, it's easier to write a girl. I like Mai because of the pure neutral. Then again, Sokka is fun. And playing Azula would just be random and cracktastic. I think I would make a good post-breakdown Azula. I,m good at being crazy. And eventually, i'm a horryfying villain too XD

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

A lot of people want Azula o.o. It's fascinating. Crazula is so popular!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Random insanity is always fun to play. Plus, she's not in a canon pairing, which also makes her less awkward to play.

[putri-nih.livejournal.com]

Hahaha Tiger Balm: it is so awesome. I didn't know you can buy it here too :D

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

You can! In places like "Pharmaprix" no less. It's so fun :D

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

The Shugo Chara one is good. Being able to make AMV is one of the better things for the anime (even though the manga version is better just because it doesn't have as much pointless filler as the anime does.)

Bossy Merlin will forever make me laugh and I recall the Legend of Zelda one was released on April Fools a few years ago. So, a lot of fans had thought the trailer was for a real movie at first.

Have you ever seen this two:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p5VcDE18Gc - All Magical Girls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8MY5tIu7io - A good Ah My Goddess AMV

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I'll have to watch those when i'm not at work XD

Gah. I also prefer the Shugo Chara manga. The story actually moves forward. The anime has too much filler. And the transformation sequences are... interesting. It kinda reminds me of a better animated sailor moon. I prefer the manga version for sailor moon too XD

[earthstar-moon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the anime was good at first, but then they started to take their sweet time with filler. I realize they needed to give the manga time to stay ahead, but still it didn't need THAT MUCH of filler. @_@ Really, if they followed the manga they could have done the whole thing in 26 episodes.

The transformation sequences are powered by sparkle power! It's the same power source Edward uses. XP

*giggles at comic* See, this is why I rub my eyes with my KNUCKLES.

And I have got to see these "Epic" things.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I really have to stop using my finger. That's how I get ink and eraser bits in my eyes. *laughs*

[angelchan-2004.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I love the live action Zelda trailer. IT IS EPIC.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I know right? Fan made! Some fans are insane!

[dqbunny.livejournal.com]

I've never seen that down here. The popular one in the U.S. is called Ben Gay.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

I know Ben Gay, and let me tell you... tiger Balm? 200% times more awesome.

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of Tiger Balm, but one of my neighborhood friends used to play soccer after school and every so often he would come by reeking of Bengay, which serves the same purpose. I guess the stuff is supposed to really work at soothing sore muscles. The smell is something else though. It doesn't smell bad, it doesn't smell good, it just smells sort of...medicinal? Does anyone ever joke about Tiger Balm's name? My friend used to always mock Bengay by calling it Ben (is) GAY. ...I miss that odd neighbor friend...

(Hee hee, I wonder what is in Tiger Balm to make your eye feel like it's on fire! I experienced that once after I cut up some jalapeño and hours later removed my contacts. It burned so much!)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Tiger balm is funky because it feels warm, but cold at the same time. It's pretty intense. XO

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

"Epic spices. Gathered by minotaurs in fields of fire." LOL! Indeed ;) You give great imagery that now I wish to see this *snerk*

Nice fan art! =D I always like when you bring back your muse depictions :P She's fun for sure ;)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Who doesn't want to see epic things like that?

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

XD Boring people... epic scares them you know ;)

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I dunno if I've ever seen Tiger Balm here. I'll look and see if there is any just for curiosities sake. But I have had the circumstance of inadvertently rubbing something in my eye and the pain that followed.

I've always wanted to give paintball a try! Looks like fun!
