Aug. 15th, 2009 01:21 pmCG Dressing Room, why did you take the magical ponies away from us? Why? I knew I should have saved that thread last night. IT WAS THE STUFF ACID DREAMS ARE MADE OF. No love for the ponies sob.

Aug. 12th, 2009 10:28 amOk, first someone has to cut into my "daww gay" fun. Then someone has the snipe at me for ruining their "daww gay" fun, even though I wasn't the one who did it. Then someone ELSE has to snipe at me for I don't know challenging their pairing order. IT IS A PICTURE AND I WAS JUST FANGIRLING. God, no wonder people say my fandom has completely lost its mind. It's really sad when I can't even be happy in my own way about a pretty picture. Way to ruin my morning, fangirls.
No really, these reactions (save the one who wanted to argue the imagery of the picture since her point is valid albeit DEPRESSING)= completely ridiculous.

Aug. 6th, 2009 06:00 pmI had stuff to say about the damn Joker!Obama pic not being racist, my father blowing off our Ocean City vacation to take my brother to see his girlfriend, my roommie ditching our dinner plans because I went upstairs for five minutes to check my email...
AND THEN I SAW THIS.
My day has been sufficiently salvaged. Carry on.

Jul. 21st, 2009 06:30 pmI'm going to start resizing pictures for my Otakon picspam version as soon as I finish reading my Wastelands section. Also, I read more spoilers for Torchwood and now I am even more terrified and anxious about watching it.
The Primary Gain fanfic always makes me so brutally jealous. She's too damn good at the boys.
ETA: Thank you, King, for terrifying me with your evil train picture. Now I'm going to have nightmares. Sob.

Otakon Recap: The Good and Bad Game
Jul. 19th, 2009 08:17 pmGood: Listening to Crispin Freeman talk about voicing Tsume without a shirt!
Bad: Standing in line for an hour and not getting Crispin's autograph. :(
Good: Getting Lelouch and shaymin plushies from the dealer's room.
Bad: None of the manga dealers had Pandora Hearts.
Good: Awesome fun hanging with the CFUDers, partially due to some quick organization tricks.
Bad: Having to compete with the hell bitch within my personal group on Thursday night.
Good: Finding awesome tapas restaurant.
Bad: Spending an hour literally walking down memory lane of Baltimore City, looking for food.
Good: Finally buying the final Geass S1 Special Edition DVD.
Bad: Evil spoilericious Geass AMV. To be fair, both Geass AMVs were gorgeous, just the first made me waaaah. This is a bad lite.
Good: Getting a picture of a gorgeous Dietrich cosplayer.
Bad: Having two friends get conned on the Baltimore streets while this was happening.
AND THE ULTIMATE GOOD/BAD INSTANCE.
Good: Overall fun con and awesome weather. (minus the randomly "buttscratcher" screaming morons who I will hunt down and slaughter like the dogs they are.)
Bad: Car is dead and I will probably have to take another day off work to deal with the madness tomorrow. :(((
( List of Nayami's terrible impulse buys. )
( Also I think this pic best illustrates the manic nature of my con experience. I got it whilst I was standing in line for Crispin. Baw. Every other hour, I felt like one or the other of them. )

May. 13th, 2009 09:32 amSo I don't check out the "secret" comms unless someone starts yammering about them because I have like zero willpower when I actually know about things. And the so-called wank was unsurprising. Pairing wars are so dull. Though, I admit that poster could be easily misinterpreted, especially if referencing romantic fiction, which is some of the most sexist stuff known to man. Not all of it, but definitely some of it. I just wish people would realize a few KNOWN things and just move on.

May. 12th, 2009 06:31 pmWell, now I suffer from post-vacation slump. This is where I don't want to do anything because I already miss my vacation.
I do have some great wolf pictures that I might post later and others from the Hancock Building, which I also visited. I need a bookcase for my manga, I think. I seriously had to stick my newest hoard in a shoebox.
I'm enjoying 07 Ghost and want to get more into the Ghosts since Frau's my favorite. Actually I love all of the bishops. Not crazy about the military yet. I also read the second Geass novel, which was nowhere as good as the first but had a lot of interesting Cornelia insight and great scenes between Lelouch and C.C.
I already miss Rache's cats because they were so lovable and squishable. I want a ginormous cat that crushes me every time it lies down. D'awww. All I have is the evil Sasuke-neko. I have more to ramble on about my exciting trip, but I'll probably only bore the usual suspects with those details. Now to catch up on LJ. Sob.

Apr. 29th, 2009 05:48 pmTo preserve what little sanity I have left, I will not be viewing a certain file tonight. Maybe I'll check it out during the weekend when I can get drunk with friends and not care.
I also really really want to leave a review on a smutfic, informing the author that she both gypped me out of the punishment scene she promised, rendered creepy possessive!Schneizel pointless, made Suzaku inconsistent (actually, she's done that through the fic so I guess I shouldn't care) and basically rushed her storyline to write a sequel. I DIDN'T EVEN GET GOOD SMUT OUT OF IT. Woman, if you're going to trash your fic, at least do so with some parting smut. Sigh, stupid guilty pleasure fics.
In other news, the new Easy Mac packets taste EXACTLY like normal Mac & Cheese. It's amazing!

Apr. 26th, 2009 11:52 amLol my fear of the final Geass PD is insane. I just gather from the pictures it's yet another complete waste of time. It makes me sadface and then it builds onto other things to the point where I get moody about hearing things I don't like in other shows too. Argh, I am too character-centric to enjoy anime, I truly am. And it's just disheartening to know my obsession is really over. I really should try to watch Kai or Ghost 07 eventually...
Oh well, Tom's coming over today so I guess I can be semi-productive, and I did get my two awards the other day. They were shiny but made me long for my old job and reminded me how much I hate my old boss for driving me away. I really did love that job more, and I probably always will. I knew that area better than I will ever know anything. Maybe when he leaves, I will go back.
I am also marathoning Oscar songs. I got as far as the 60s, but the music got lame around the time of Shaft. Which I still don't see why that's a song. But I have heard some oldies that I love and didn't listen to in a while like "Say You, Say Me" and "You Must Love Me."

Mar. 19th, 2009 05:45 pmIt is Geass rant time. I've been good these past few months so I think I'm entitled to one. Besides, these things help me clear my head.

Mar. 2nd, 2009 06:41 pmI am still resentful about R18. I don't care if it makes me seem a bitch in fandom's eyes. Bastards killed my boy and then half-assed the side-canon and now want me to pay for crack. Fuck them. It's NOT EVEN THAT GOOD. OR FUNNY. So yeah, not excited. Not going to get excited. Fucking bastards.
Honestly, I'm mostly pissed because my sound died on my Internet and I can't fix it without restarting my computer, which I'm too lazy to do. Le sigh. This is what I get for trying to stream Howl's Moving Castle.
In cryptic news, apparently my attempts to resolve an issue are not yielding fruit. I can't help being worried. In other cryptic news, what do you do when you suspect someone of doing something to you a while back but get along well with them now? I have a habit of doing this thing called distancing. But I'm also a loser who wants to know who slighted me and evidence speaks for itself. But it's not exactly something I can just ask about either. I really only want so I can ask them why. And yes, I should have gotten over it long before now; I hold grudges.

Dec. 31st, 2008 12:22 pmI think before I lol at my New Year's Resolutions this year, I should do a tally on how I fared with those last year.
2007 Resolutions:
1. WRITE MOAR!! Find some way to manage time or whatever to write again or at least attempt.
2. Take more assertive role in career.
3. Conquer fear of driving to certain places like airports and convention centers.
4. Stop being such a damn chicken when it comes to the Internets.
5. Finish Psychosis. Hah I'm laughing at that too.
2007 Results
1. FAILURE.
2. SUCCESS. New job and people that don't treat me like shit. o/
3. MOSTLY SUCCESS. Can drive people to airports with ease. Baltimore driving still scares the living fuck out of me, but I can transit to Otakon and Katsucon so yay.
4. EPIC FAILURE. This just got worse. :(
5. EPIC FAILURE.
2008 Resolutions:
1. WRITE FUCKING PSYCHOSIS/HERITAGE. Manage time in non-crappy way.
2. Doing pretty good with the socialness. Up that some!
3. Cook more than just cookies. That way I won't die of not eating.
4. Find new series to obsess over in unhealthy ways. :D
5. READ ACTUAL BOOKS.
In other news, SE 6 summary made me happy. Casshern Sins is almost HILARIOUSLY emo, and I am holding off judgment on that one until I get a few more episodes in. I like the girl though. She's badass. I have to figure out what to do with my day since I just realize it's EXTREMELY STUPID to go to D.C. on New Year's Eve. Oh and I bought Gabi a new Stage 0 book since I put a carton of blue cheese dressing in my purse, where the book happened to be. I know. I r smrt.

Dec. 22nd, 2008 06:20 pmAs soon as I finish this entry, I am going to embark on a mass cleaning of my room.
Tom and I had the best time ever making cookies last night. Not only did I get to smash nuts with a mallet for 10 minutes and giggle at Tom whisking, but we also got the fun, messy part of hand-shaping the cooking mounds. And they even turned out edible. A nice end to a day that involved my roommate throwing her wallet into the movie trashcan... and me having to retrieve it for her.
Gabi is right. OMG is Geass infinitely depressing now. I listened to the second dubbed SE CD while in the car today and sob. "I'll let you borrow my brother for now, Suzaku, but you have to bring him back to me." I HATE YOU GEASS. That is just mean. I'm not sure how I feel about S1 having a total bittersweet feel to it now. It's very strange... Also, fandom, just a little request, but could you maybe stop killing off characters LIKE NUNNALLY in your fiction. The series is depressing enough; it doesn't need you to feast upon the angst like starved wolves in the tundra. At this rate, the only happy fic I come across is on the kink meme. THE KINK MEME.
I came across this story on the Chicago Tribute today and now want to smack that woman in the face. I know that probably sounds harsh of me, but it really sounds like she is putting her crazy over the life of her daughter. Social Services needs to take that kid pronto. I'm all for love being the best medicine, but this woman turned town an apartment with stairs over sleeping in a SUV and using the McDonald's bathroom. No. On similar notes of bad parenting, that winner of a father who thought it would be cute to let his 8-year-old fire an Uzi at a pumpkin. “This accident was truly a mystery to me... This is a horrible event, a horrible travesty, and I really don’t know why it happened." How did it happen? YOU ALLOWED YOUR 8-YEAR-OLD CHILD TO FIRE A SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPON YOU DEGENERATE PARENT. Mystery, my ass. Eight-year-old and Uzi do not belong in the same sentence!
I want to watch Merlin. But I'm going to read manga first. Never enough time in the day.

Dec. 19th, 2008 06:40 pmI has my Geass box set! I know I had something else of importance to write here, but that has been lost in glee of box set. Loev box set. Though wow, translated Geass manga is a lot darker than its cutesy images would indicate. Possibly darker than some of the series in the early stages. Also, manga translator, Kallen is wearing her own MASK not CAT... How do you wear a cat anyway? I don't think Arthur will be pleased.
Also, I want to see "Seven Pounds" if only to know what is so amazing about Will Smith's pet jellyfish.

I realized while writing a note that this seemed a little unfair why I truly dislike the authors explaining things in the guides. I stand by what I say. Either show or accept that people are going to have different ways of looking at it. This fight still seems quite mean.
I got a call about my ridiculous online purchases last night, and was too unconscious to respond to it this morning. So unconscious I botched my SN and had to wait a good 30 minutes for a live representative to speak with me and verify that some crazy Japanese person hadn't hijacked my card. No, that's only the crazy Americans.
My cat hops around like a bunny sometimes. It is amusing. Now, to spend today being productive or to chill and be productive tomorrow. Why are you so close, Christmas? Ugh, I have to clean again soon or Gabi will think I live in filth.
ETA: Score! My Thai doujin finally arrived... I bet they were in the mailbox I never check. orz

Dec. 12th, 2008 05:45 pmOooh the moon is so big and bright tonight, I just want to go outside and howl at it. Yes, you heard me. Howl.
Also, I am pitching this here before I take it comm-wide. I am thinking about starting a CG fic review community. But as I fail at reading things out of my spectrum, I am looking for two helpers. One to handle the gen/het that I miss and another to handle the non-SuzaLulu yaoi and general smut that I miss. Or any combination thereof. I just want to make sure I'm diversified dangit. Let me know if anyone on my F-list is interested. My one rule, however, is that you can't be an avid CG writer. I want this collective of reviewers to be more reader-style. Oh yeah, we're also taking maybe one review per week.

Dec. 10th, 2008 10:24 amMeh insomnia. But I will be going to see Tom and "Wanted" tonight so yays.
Also lol Geass, everyone and their dog knows that the new Pash pic is straight out of the Asuran/Kira pose. I think the only difference is that the GSeed boys get to stand closer to each other. But I love Lelouch in glasses so I will forgive you. Also, C.C.'s royal dress was gorgeous and I'm so sad the anime decided to keep her in boring regular clothing, probably to save on animating that every time.

If I were a boy
Dec. 6th, 2008 10:51 amYes! Clamp supports EEE. Bestest surprise ever! C.C./Suzaku for the win! I can even forgive them for putting Lelouch in that totally ridiculous hat since the pose with Suzaku is so hot; it can be ignored. Oho maybe the Clamp artbook won't be a total waste of money after all. But I still think I'll wait until Katsucon. I already have to scrap together enough money to buy winter clothes today.
I saw Prince Caspian last night. The complete religion metaphor irked the hell out of me once Aslan showed up, especially with the crap about believing and what happens when you don't. But I actually enjoyed this movie much more than the first one. It was less life lessons and more a real story about characters who changed, even if I think Peter and Susan need to get smacked with a brick. I loved the mice knights and Lucy's friendship with the dwarf. I did like Lucy as a prophet, even if the overall message was waaay too steeped in Christianity. But I enjoyed watching Caspian and Peter grow as leaders through mistakes and sacrifice. The centaurs were also gorgeous.
I also saw Tropic Thunder, which was surprisingly good for a movie that had a certain actor in it. I won't spoil for those who haven't seen it. The previews in the beginning were the best part. Satan's Alley. Hah!
I need to make some new icons.
