So, I saw Coraline on Monday.

I was warned ahead of time that the movie is creepy, but I sort of forgot about that as the movie lulled me into a false sense of security by making me believe that it was a happy, adventurous stop-motion romp through a colorful wonderland. And then it kind of hits the fan once the button eyes issue comes up, and the movie continues to freak you out with false endings. "Yay, it's ove-OHSHIT! Oh, now it's-AHHHHHOHGOD!"

And man, was it awesome! One of the things I missed in children's films was the whole epic factor that some of the movies in the 90's had. Compare Beauty and the Beast to, say, Brother Bear. Their climaxes don't really compare. (I liked Brother Bear, mind, but most of it was because it was a pretty movie)

I reccommend the movie, especially now that it's out of theaters and is probably a lot cheaper to rent it now.


And I'm happy now.

Chemical Exam? Aced it.
Art History Paper? Finished it.

Now all I have left are the...three paintings and life-sized portrait of me...BUT I DON'T HAVE A PAPER ANYMORE!

I'm honestly not at all worried by the Philosophy and Chemistry finals because I'm acing those classes anyways. It's the Art History and the two Art classes I'm worried about because you need actual effort for those...

At least I'm finally getting that art-trade I have squared away...

<sub>tagged me for this and I forgot to do it until now.

Read these questions, then pick the songs that best fit them.

Which song do you associate with...

1. Awesomeness? (I'm going to list two since I couldn't decide)
Day and A Lifetime - Mob Rules (no Youtube link available)
Heeding the Call - Hammerfall [link]
Song's got the coolest instrumentals.

2. Pirates?
He's a Pirate - Klaus Badelt [link]
...yeah, it's not original, but first song that pops to mind.

3. Adventure?
Under the Star of Destiny - Soul Calibur II Soundtrack [link]

4. Love?
The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and the News
Little Lies - Fleetwood Mac [link]
This song took a while to grow on me, but I think it's a pretty song. (I was SO tempted to throw "What is Love?" up here, but that song's even more obvious than He's a Pirate)

5. The end of the world?
Soundtrack to the Rebellion - Machinae Supremacy [link]
(Because "It's the End of the World As We Know It" doesn't really have the tone of actual ending of the world. XD)

6. Energy?
Going Down in Flames - 3 Doors Down [link]

7. Calmness?
Caribbean Blue - Enya [link]

8. Happiness?
Run With Us - Kevin Gillis [link]

9. Darkness?
Another Day in Paradise - Phil Colins
Sun - Dark Cloud 2 [link]
(Yes, the title of the song is ironic, but listen to the song.)

10. Light?
Living on A Prayer - Bon Jovi
