The Ancient Art of Karaoke

I love to sing. My sister has always been the openly musically gifted one but I have snuck out from behind the drum set and the percussion jungle to join the lead singer of the band, dude. Well, sort of.
My voice, in my opinion, has always been kind of... manly. Of course, I always used to say that about my shadow too. Obviously my opinions there and also my perspective are skewed in a self depreciating kind of way.

Impersonations are really fun to do but you should never really do this outside the home, unless you're going for laughs. The most common mistake when people start singing is that they try to sound like the artist. This is bad if you're going for someone like Mariah Carey, Britney Spears or Ke$ha. Of course, that's bad in the first place before you even start singing.

Failure to Communicate

There has actually been a little drama going on in my life! Well, it depends who you talk to. I'm not exactly a drama llama, I keep to myself and don't spoil for fights. Most people I'm not close friends with find it easy to ignore me. UNLESS!! Something I've said could relate to them in their past, present or future. Which is probably why I'm not a big fan of people.

General Scenario:
Lucky Tiger: ....and that's my view of our political situation.
Random: Uh huh.
Lucky Tiger: This is one lovely day we're having, isn't it?
Random: Mmmm.
Lucky Tiger: Oh crap, my head's on fire!!
Random: You don't say.
Lucky Tiger: Don't look now but *you're* head is on fire too!!
Random: OMFGWTFHALP!!!1!!!111!!!!
Lucky Tiger: Lolz JKs
Random: ....what?

The Unbloggable

Okay, it was my bad. Turns out my friend had loaded that damn profile application - which caused all the extra ads so I'm sorry Facebook. Facebook always looks different whenever I log onto it via computer so I attributed to that without thinking. However, having said that - I've been forcibly added to two more groups, had multiple service issues and Facebook never seems to want to notify me about anything anymore. This leaves me to stalk my own page like a lone, festering zombie.

Tigerey Updates

Well it's been a while since I've blogged, so sorry! I just haven't had much time to come on here for personal time. I do like that though, that I'm not glued to a computer 24/7. It's nice to actually live again - how we used to before all this.

I do use Facebook on my phone so when I come on the actual Internet and see weird things happening it disturbs me. There weren't enough ads on Facebook already? Hurray, let's chuck some more in, smack bang in the middle of your feed. Let's put some updates to the right side of the adverts that are usually there so you're more likely to click on the ads by accident. Let's give you the option to 'change layout' or 'remove layout' and then just chuck it right back on there a minute after you remove it.

Literary Fever

Because I often enjoy the agony and drawn out suspense of anticipating book/comic/statue releases, I am happy to announce that two books I need are coming out soon.
The first is Skulduggery Pleasant: The Death Bringer.

Whoop. Freakin' Whoop. I love this series! Yes, I do feel sort of bad when I walk into a book store to purchase it and find it in the youth if not children's section... but then I realise that it's a great book and children have great taste. Sometimes. Sometimes I cry when I watch children's programming. It's pretty crap and badly drawn compared to the awesome stuff we had. Poor bastards. *sniff*

Gotham City Sirens #24

'The Joke's on You!' / FRIENDS

This came around sooner than I thought. Perhaps I should just forget that Harley Quinn exists in the time that it takes for her new issues to come out. So far that seems to have worked this time, although I did have some nice shiny Harley Quinn statues and other models/figurines to distract myself with so I'll have to try that next time.


Search Amazon.com for harley quinn statues


Still, awesome cover. Harley is back to her gorgeous self, enveloped in bliss as she wraps her arms around her gun totin' Puddin'. Looming in the background is Clayface. Hi Clayface. Yes, the last issue did say he would cameo, but I figured if he made the cover he was going to have a pretty big part in the story but he didn't so I'm not sure what's going on there.

Transformers: Dark Side of the Review

It's not really a dark side. I just thought it would make my review sound cooler. Also, it rings in with the title of the new Transformers movie. My partner and I went and saw it last week - and as always we missed our Transformers partner, who is unavailable to watch any of the sequels but is perhaps glancing down at the reviews from heaven.

Immediately after watching this one, I realised I probably should have re-watched the first two before seeing this one. It was a nice, back to basics kind of movie but it was filled with little throwbacks and references to things I can't remember. Were those little 'Formers in the second movie? What's with the rabbit's foot again? Who am I and what am I doing here?!
