acorns and fluff

ice age 2: the meltdown

feel good, family fun - good laughs in there. reminded me how childish i really am. i found every little thing funny. the six year olds in front of me did too.


i can relate to this little guy really well. i mean, the lengths to which i would go for food....... ah.. better not elaborate on that one. this little... err.. squirrel-like creature appears in more scenes this time round. typically, he brings about a lot of chaos BUT is also the ultimate hero in the end. won't tell you how.


and these little guys are the naughtiest little buggers around. they're so small and fast, and they get squash themselves EVERYWHERE. they're possums, btw, something which i did not know. i thought they were... mutated rats at first.

March of the Penguins:

you have to watch this. it's seriously good. of course, you feel like an asshole of a human being after watching these awesome creatures living in their totally uncompromising habitat and putting their lives at risk JUST TO HAVE A BABY.

do you guys know how smart penguins are? not only do they have an amazing sense of direction, they have IMMENSE patience [something SERIOUSLY lacking in a lot of people], and they know how to love, and they have a sense of dedication and commitment [in a way].


they're responsible too. every year, they march a LONG way to get to the breeding ground. the details of their journey are truly amazing, btw, and.. ok.. it's just REALLY COOL.


apparently, when penguins pair up, they pair up. they don't cheat on one another. well, at least for a year, cause the next year they changes mates. and oh man, you see the penguins and their eggs/chicks, when the small ones die, you can see how sad they are. and it's just.. so sad?



seriously, you should watch it.

penguins recognize each other through the sound of their cries. first thing i thought was: "where are their ears?'

it's a really good show eh (march of the penguins). and yeah ALL THAT TROUBLE for a chance man. survival, it rocks. and i cant believe they'd go for like wat 125 days without food.

*salutes*

p.s ears are located under the fluff around 2 cm behind their eyes on the top of their 'neck'

Fin said...

hahahahah XXXD It's ok, i wondered too at one point. They're more furry than rubbery but their fur is very slick and, well, thick. As a secondary form of insulation. So erm.. it's like a rubbery fur? XD
