Hello everyone. This is going to be short and sweet. I'm sorry about last week but I was really sick. I had a cold, a flu, and bronchitis. I was NOT being lazy. I'm still not 100% up to snuff so I don't really want to do this for very long.
So, I've decided to make your quote of the week,
"It's a fusion of jazz and funk. It's called junk!" Robin Williams (Fender) from Robots
And your song is....
The boys redid this single for Red Nose Day. They teamed up with Comic Relief to help people in the UK and Africa live better lives. :) So, go and buy it and you will help people out!
Here's a quick bonus video. It's a commercial I've been seeing on tv that I love.
Alrighty so hello cool people. Guess what! It's me, Merry, doing last week's "Of The Week" because a certain someone by the name of Pippin was to lazy. tsk tsk tsk. Haha I don't mind.
Anywho here is the Of The Week.
The quote of the week is:
"Take criticism, smash it into dust, add colour, and use it to paint breathtaking images of unicorns frolicking through endless fields of greatness." This lovely quote is from Matthew Gray Gubler.
The song is "Music of the Night" from... Phantom of the Opera... :3
ENJOY
NOW ONTO THE RECOMMENDATION
So.. The recommendation. Cooool. I know exactly what I'm going to recommend to you. Are you excited? Hmm?
Okay. Without further ado, here ya go.
THE RECOMMENDATION IS....
Why am I recommending this you ask? Well it's simple. It's because of the pure beauty and uniqueness of it. As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it. I can't really say what made me love it so much. Was it the great cast? The gothic feel? The music? Maybe it was a mixture of all of them? I seriously don't know. Haha, anyways, I seriously just have to recommend this. Le sigh... :3
Now, I think it is about time for me to go and sleep. I'm very tired... and sick. Don't you hate being sick? IT SUCKS! -_-. Anyways... Yeah... I'm gonna go now. Look forwards to Pip's Of The Week which should hopefully be on time! And.... IDK.
Alright. I'm gonna go now. (And yes I know I've said already.. a few times. :P) Enjoy your week everyone!
Happy Valentine's day everyone!! Guess what I'm doing? I've got a hot date! Yeah that's right, Pippin has got a date!..... At a Chinese restaurant with my parents. -_- Woot woot. But I like Chinese food so it's all good plus we're getting black forest cake afterwards. Not a bad way to spend it in my opinion. So, if you're all bummed out that you don't have a date, don't worry, you'll find someone special soon. :)
So, for all you people who don't need a date to be happy, this is for you!!! I decided that today people need a good laugh so I'm gonna be posting a couple of videos. :)
I love Monty Python
Here's one we watched in my guitar class.. It's great :D
And of course for all you people who are lonely here's a song for you to let you know that even the underdog can get the girl/boy. <3
Have a lovely day everyone! Love you all! Mwah <3 -Pip
Alright people. I know I'm late... Like, really, REALLY late for both the Review and Of The Week, but for once I'm actually prepared!! Shocked aren't you? Ha, ya I am too. :3
So to start things off I will do the Recommendation.
This week I am recommending a few animes/mangas that I absolutely love.For those of you that don't know what anime is, it's a Japanese animation generally based off of a manga which is the equivalent to a graphic novel.
The 1st one I'm recommending is...
OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB!
It may sound strange and not your cup of tea, but give it a try. I hadn't really thought that it would be any good, but after watching the first episode, I couldn't stop watching it. I watched the whole anime in one day and I was heart-broken when it ended.
Why I liked it...
-The characters were great. You really got to learn more about them and they seemed more realistic. For me, that's a PLUS!
-Entertaining story-line. It may have been a bit confusing at times, but it's still great none-the-less. If you're confused just keep on watching, it'll clear up later on.
-The humor. It was great. I seriously laughed throughout the whole show. SOOO FUNNY! :D :3
-And... MANY MANY OTHER REASONS!
The 2nd one I'm recommending is...
SOUL EATER!
This one is generally recommended for guys (the manga especially) but I have to say I loved this anime.It ranks up close to the top of my favourites. After the 3rd or 4th episode I understood what was happening and was immediately sucked in.
Why I liked it...
-Unique. That's one way to describe it, I guess. All what I can say is that it was something outside of the box.
-The characters. Although there were a few characters that drove me nuts and wanted to kill them, I loved the majority of them. They are all 'unique' in their own way.
-Lights! Camera!.... ACTION! Lots of action in this. I love action so that was a definite plus for me.
-And (like the last) MANY MANY OTHER REASONS!
So I hope you enjoyed the Review/Recommendation.
NOW ONTO THE OF THE WEEK
So it's this time. The time you've all been holding your breath for. Well then. Shall I continue? Or shall I leave you now and make you all hate me for keeping this from you? Okay. Okay. I can feel your angry stares. I'll give you what you want.
So the quote issss....
"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?" Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from "Pirates of the Carribean" (i forgot which one though).
And the song is.....
Anywho, I'm done for the night. I hope you all enjoyed! Peace out!! :D
So guys, have you all gone and checked out Beecake? If yes, aren't they amazing?? If no, go and doooo it! It'll totally be worth it. Now as I said they are one of my favourite bands, and one of my other favourite bands you might have heard of. They go by the name of One Direction. Ring any bells? If not, get out of the hole in the ground you are living in cause they are a worldwide phenominon. One Direction consists of Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, and Harry Styles. Yes they are a boy band but before you say "Ew a boy band" let me say this. Boy bands aren't bad at all if they can sing. They boys of One direction can sing. But they are not the stereotype of boy bands. They don't dance (except when Niall does his Riverdance impression) and all of them except Harry actually play an instrument. Naill, Liam, and Louis play guitar in a lot of their songs. So please don't hate on them and their fans. They're just doing what they love.
ANYWAYS.... Let's get on with it....
Your quote for this week is "So being a ladybug automatically makes me a girl? Is that it, Flyboy?" Dennis Leary (Francis) from "A Bugs Life)
Your song for this week is... "Kiss You" by One Direction from their new album "Take Me Home" (And yeah, I have no idea what the video is about either)
Hey Hey Hey!! What's happening?? So my friends and I just finished with our exams! Woot! Finally, a new semester starts now where I will be taking Guitar Level 2! You guys should really learn how to play an instrument. It's so relaxing and fun. I play the sax, guitar, piano, violin (not well), drums (sorta), and I've always wanted to learn the bagpipes... I think it's the Scottish in me. So anyways, when we first made The Nerd Word I decided that somehow I was going to mention one of my favourite bands of all time. Beecake. The band consists of one of my favourite actors, Billy Boyd (Pippin from The Lord of the Rings), Billy Johnston, John Crawford & Rick Martin. They have a facebook page so if you have facebook go and like em!!
I really encourage you guys to check them out. Billy Boyd has got a beautiful voice. Their music kind of varies, it's rock and then sometimes soft rock but it's really good.
This is one of my favourite songs by them....
And this is another one,...
So, go and check em out!!! Seriously. Do it. Now. Go.... I'm waiting............................................................................................................................................... Good. So you shall not regret it. Bubi! :3 -Pippin
