City of Bones, Clary Monolugue

Happy Monologue Monday!! I'm sooo sorry I missed last Monday, my life was a little crazy... But today I've chosen a monologue from the book, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare. It's at the climatic point at the end of the book, when one of the characters is breaking, forgetting who he really is, his head overflowing with manipulative lies. The main character, Clary is desperately trying to find the right words that'll convince him to snap out of it, and open his eyes to the reality, or someone she loves will die at the knees of his enemy. The end of the book was very interesting and surprising to me, so here's Clary's  monologue.


City of Bones, Clary Monolugue

Leave him alone! Shutting your eyes and pretending something's not happening doesn't make it not true, Jace. You ought to know better. Why do you have to lie to yourself? You have a family. Family, those are just the people who love you. Like the Lightwoods love you. Alec, Isabelle. Luke is my family, and you're going to make me watch him die just like you thought you watched your father die when you were ten years old? Is that what you want Jace? Is this the kind of man you want to be?

Stele

Happy Fandom Friday!! Today, I've chosen a prop replica I saw, and just thought was AWESOME!!! It's a 'stele' from Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. There's two types they have for sale: a key chain one, and a full size one, but they BOTH light up. Pretty cool! You can get them from Hot Topic, or Amazon. I just can't wait for the movie to come out on DVD and Bluray! Again, Happy Fandomonium Friday, fellow shadowhunters!!


 

Touch

Happy Trivia Tuesday!!! So today's fact is relating to Physics!! Yeah, it may sound kinda boring... even if it is the main topic on TBBT, but it is pretty cool. Whenever you touch an object, or pick something up... get this, you're not actually touching it!! There's technically a microscopic space in between your hand and the object. The electrons in your hands repel the electrons in the object. They pass heat and electricity, giving the illusion of touch. All our five senses, actually take place inside the brain. It's an ILLUSION!!! So here's something you could do to annoy someone: Place your hand on them and say, "I'm not touching you!"

Here's a helpful website with more info about it:

Free MP3 Site w/ Unreleased TS Songs

So, as many of you may know, my absolute favorite artist, Taylor Swift, has many studio recorded unreleased songs from when she was younger. Some are from demos, some just recorded for albums. So I've found an awesome website where you can download MP3 files for FREE!! And the best part.... it has over 30 unreleased studio recored Taylor Swift songs and counting!! Plus some live versions of unreleased songs, and songs from her albums. There's other songs from other artists as well.
Downloading was so easy. It either saves right to your computer, or opens another link where it plays the song, and you right click to save. All you need to do is re-title the file. Even though it's on MP3 format, I can still get it on my kindle, and on my bluray player through a USB. So, I can listen any time I want! Pretty awesome!!!
Enough of my rambling... here's the link:

Nimoy Napkin

Happy Fandom Friday!!! Today, I've chosen a picture relating to The Big Bang Theory, Season 2, Episode 11, "The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis". In this hilarious Christmas episode, Sheldon is so moved by Penny's gift to him, he actually hugs her!! He received a napkin signed by Leonard Nimoy, saying: To Sheldon, Live long and prosper. Apparently, about a week after the episode was filmed, Nimoy did sign a napkin with the same message. It was later auctioned at Nimoy's charity of choice, The Beit T'Shuvah "Steps to Recovery" Gala, for $1,100. Pretty cool, right? Unfortunately, despite people's and the show's best efforts, including William Shatner in 2010, Nimoy wasn't enticed to make a guest appearance.

Here's a couple pictures of the napkin, and a video link featuring an interview with Jim Parsons about the episode and Nimoy:

On the site, scroll down and click on: The Beit T'Shuvah "Steps to Recovery" Gala (2009). A video and more info should appear.

Gif

Recently, I've discovered what a gif is.... yea, I'm a little late... but it's a magical thing. It's almost like a short clip in the form of a picture. Some genius decided to blur the lines in between, I guess. So, here's some cool ones I found.

































Yeah, I went a little crazy finding these, sorry. But, enjoy!! :)
