Eye of the tiger



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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

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:

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

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

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

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

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 jalapeƱo and hours later removed my contacts. It burned so much!)

"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 ;)

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!
