Showing HTML in Blogger Posts

I found out how to show html code and whatnot in blogger posts because for some reason it's more tricky to show it here than in a normal webpage. Thanks to blogkori.com

I found this in my current template, it was hiding the blogger navigation bar. I didn't want it doing that but I thought I would put this handy little code here.

Digital Camera Want-ness

Haha looks good. I like the Cheshire Cat. Is the Mad Hatter the main character though? I don't think so.

That Last Airbender Character Pictures

The Last Airbender
Starring:
Noah Ringer
Dev Patel
Nicola Peltz
Jackson Rathbone
Shaun Toub
and many others...
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan
Score composed by James Newton Howard
Set to be released on July 2nd 2010

Some shots of not just Aang and Zuko but of Katara and Sokka as well!

Nicola Peltz looks so young compared to the others. I know she is supposed to be young, but I don't know if I can see her as a threatening water bender.
Uhhhh. I'll wait to give judgment on Jackson Rathbone. Much depends on comedic timing.
I can't wait for July 2nd! Then we shall see what the movie will really be like and get over all of these "sneak peeks."
I found these pictures over at EmpireMovies.com

Pictures from New Moon: Bella, Edward, Jacob and... Carlisle?

Carlisle Cullen played by Peter Fecinelli and Bella Swan played by Kristen Stewart. Woo, a little carnage on Bella's arm.

Jacob Black played by Taylor Lautner

Red Blog: Blogging Outside the 'Box'

I have found a new good place for geekdom information :) Check out Red Blog This is one of those posts that I will end up posting on both of my blogs... (October 7th)

Reynolds Goes Green, But Will There Be a New Big Blue?

Late this week Interweb chatter in the geekverse spiked twice. First over the release of the San Diego Comic Con schedule for later this month. It revealed that, due to conference-hall scheduling, James Cameron-worshiping fanboys drooling for a peek at some Avatar footage might have to push and shove in line with rabid Twihards squealing for a New Moon presentation and a possible Bobby Pattinson appearance. Oh, the indignation! Oh, the humanity! Oh, the deadly spread of cooties!

The second web-shaking news was of more interest to the general movie-going public. There had been a month of speculation that Hangover-hot Bradley Cooper was a likely shoo-in to play Hal Jordan in the film adaptation of DC Comic’s Green Lantern. (To be directed by Martin Campbell of the Zorro films, Goldeneye, and Casino Royale.) But then came news this past week that in fact three actors were in contention to wear the Lantern’s Power Ring (not to be confused with Sauron’s Ring of Power—totally different geek rings): Cooper, Ryan Reynolds, and Justin Timberlake.

And on Friday Warner Brothers announced that instead of the presumed Cooper it would be Reynolds playing the hot-shot test pilot-turned-intergalactic cop in the live-action superhero flick. This comes after the word in May that Marvel Films would develop a Deadpool spin-off film from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, with Reynolds reprising his role as the wisecracking, fourth-wall-breaking “merc with a mouth.” Having played Marvel vampire hunter Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity, and once on tap to play DC’s Flash (that project is currently stalled out), Reynolds could now become the first actor ever to play heroes for both Marvel and their long-time rival DC. (UPDATED CORRECTION: As reader Jeremy F. points out, this is not true! Halle Berry played Storm for Marvel in the X-Men films and starred as Catwoman in the kinda horrific DC adaptation.)

So, fresh off the success of The Proposal, Reynolds is now being expected to carry two budding superhero...continue

My nursing school freakout #2

So I freaked out about nursing school, again. My first freakout being a few posts ago. So naturally I searched the web for comfort; and found it! (here)

Admission Success Step One. First, if you haven’t already done so, make a thorough examination of yourself as to whether you really do want to get into nursing school and become a nurse. Do you know what becoming a nurse entails? Spend a few days, or longer, doing this self examination. Just make sure that becoming a nurse is really what you want to do. The following may sound cliché to you, but it is very true: so many people just rush into nursing school just because everyone else is and because they do not know of what else is out there. So do take a little time out of your busy schedule to reflect if this is what you would like to do for the rest of your life. There is nothing wrong about being a nurse. You may really like it. Just make sure that your temperament and personality fit this type of job and that you know what a typical day of being a nurse is like.

More article, more article, more article...

In conclusion: If nursing school and becoming a nurse are really what you want, go for it! Don’t be afraid of the competition because often, people say they want to go into nursing school and succeed in it, but do not really expend the time necessary to get in or excel once they get in. On the other hand, you will be prepared because you have made up your mind to do the best you can. Do not be deterred of all the other keen students applying because there will always be spot for the determined.

My fear is gpa. I learned to get over it in high school. I didn't have to get a 4.0 to succeed, above a 3.5 was good enough. But with 4.0 nursing applicants being turned away I am feeling the worst pressure ever. *big breathe* *pause* It's what I want to do so there will be a spot for me. I am determined.

Four more years...

So I was finally able to speak with an adviser from the nursing school I could attend. I have at least four more years of hard college ahead. Having all of that work laid out in front of me is tiring. Or it could be that I got up at 4:30 this morning. Either way, it's what I make of it right? Well it will be work, but if I do it right all that work will pay off majorly. The point of this is to work hard now, so I don't have to work hard later. I have hope. Wait that's Katara's line. I am determined. I was called that once. It has to be true. Determination = eventually good results.

Hello World!

So this is my Hello World! post. It's the first screen seen after creating a blog on blogger.

I don't have a thought out plan for this blog, just that I want a place to post stuff that doesn't have to be correct or thought out. Appropriate yes?

Yay

That's me! Kris.

Deadpool Will Break not the 1st, 2nd or 3rd... but FOURTH Wall

"Empire chatted with Ryan Reynolds and asked him an interesting question about the upcoming "X-Men" spin-off, Deadpool, in which he'll reprise his role from the "Wolverine" movie.

Reynolds says Deadpool will breach the fourth wall: "Break the fourth wall? Oh yeah, he's got to. I want to see him break the Great Wall"... "The studio's working on a script and trying to find a director. The main goal is to make sure it stays close to the source material."

So does Reynolds feel under pressure from fanboys? “I’m one of them. I’ve always been a fan, at least for the last eight or nine years. I feel a bit of validation because I knew going into Wolverine that there’s a huge fanbase for this and I don’t think anyone else did."

A release date has not yet been set for the film."

Found this over at ComingSoon.net.

Breaking the fourth wall means he will do something like speak to the audience which I hear he does frequently in the comics.

Thanks RyanReynoldsFan.net for the picture.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince HBO First Look

Part 1
Part 2
I'm looking forward to the Half-Blood Prince. But it bugs me because Dumbledore looks even more like Gandalf and people already get them confused. They are NOT the same actor. Michael Gambon = Dumbledore. (Sir) Ian McKellan = Gandalf.

Iron Man's Ride

Over at Road & Track.com they scooped a picture of Tony Stark's Race Car for the upcoming Iron Man 2 starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson, and Mickey Rourke.
