So much stress. Also losing ability to see screen. I swear, and this time I'm serious, if this isn't cleared up tomorrow, I'm cutting work and going to the doctor.

I think it's time for one of my yaoi rants, seeing as I've been reading lots of fics and checking out doujin. A mini-version this time. )

In other ranting news, um... I don't like it when people tell me who to vote for. I'm cool with encouraging others to vote. But at this stage of the game, most people are friggin' tired of rhetoric from either side. I mean, I could tackle the Fairness Act, which so many conservative radio hosts are so vehemently protesting for fear of its return with Obama. But it makes a lot more sense to reserve that discussion for after the election.

Quotes of the day:

-"I vote because I get a free sugary cookie." "No, dumbass, that's when you give blood."
-"I vote because I want to bitch about the machines."
-"I vote because I like the 'I voted' sticker." "They didn't tell me you don't get one if you vote absentee. :("
-"I vote because ACORN pays me."
-"If I vote from "commie" Virginia, does that mean it's not a REAL vote?"
-"I sell my vote on e-Bay."

Livejournal's new header amuses me immensely. So gothic. I just hope the constant breaking down yesterday didn't have to do with setting this up because then I want to kick someone.

I must stop reading doujin that depress the heck out of me. But they're always my favorite, and nobody is more mesmerizing than Dolless. I'm debating how I feel about a fanfic. On the one hand, part of me always winces at seme Lelouch, but on the other the writing is AMAZING and the characterization is gripping. I should really start commenting directly to fics again instead of babbling about them cryptically in my journal. But I always have to write a short novel when it comes to reviews, and I've gotten lazy. Though it does encourage writers hmm... Also, Counterattack 2 = GAY BEYOND BELIEF. It's so silly.

I actually did not obsess about politics go me. This could have been because my assignment was politics-related, and I spent all day working on that instead. It was fun. I love looking to see who's giving money to who.

I am falling behind in my new fandoms. I blame my inherent laziness.

It's late so this will probably be silly. I kinda sorta want people to stop writing Gino in their fanfiction until we at least get some dialogue tomorrow. He's being portrayed really really 2D love interesty, and this is Geass. One fic did it right, and I acknowledge the exception. But yeah, as much of a fangirl as I am, I want people to at least give Gino a chance to show us who he is. He isn't just around to sleep with Suzaku.

On that note, apparently America has sinned against all Geass fans by having its Pizza Hut decline sponsorship. So yes, Bandai may have to edit DVDs to avoid copyright issues. This really isn't the END OF THE WORLD. And I would appreciate if half the fandom didn't blame Bandai or America in general for one company's decision. I will never understand how an American fandom can be so vicious to a broadcast in their country. And Geass is actually a good dub. Stereotypes people, stereotypes.

Now Imma go hit record and pass out. There will be happy dreams about how GEASS WILL MAKE ME CRY tomorrow.
tempestuously: ([geass] stand by for another breakdown)
Oho, Realms has punched out another Geass AU that I shall have to review when I get back from work. Lelouch and Suzaku growing up in Japan minus the Britannian invasion? I love it! I especially giggle when Suzaku teases Lelouch with "our pet Buriki." In other random news, Japanese fandom understands that serious Suzaku or Tsunzaku, as is his pet name, is seriously hot.

Also hah, like Gundam 00 has any chance against Geass in popularity polls. Japanese fans have devotion unlike their western halves. And Setsuna, as pretty a Ritsuka as he may be, is no Lelouch.

Still working on other stuff and will probably be faxing things Friday or this weekend, as soon as I can get time.

Thank you [livejournal.com profile] kadekmoment, [livejournal.com profile] crowphoenix, [livejournal.com profile] upper_flowers and [livejournal.com profile] jdiam for trying to talk me through things and generally offering yourselves as sounding boards. You may not think it helps, but it does!
tempestuously: ([kamui] spin a tale)
So I'm 0 for 2. I drove 30 minutes out of my way for a canceled event. At 10 a.m. no less. I could have been sleeping. At least I got the information from the assignment I missed Friday during my dinner last night.

I watched the new Knight Rider. I still love KITT as much as ever, but I kind of want to kick all the other characters in the face until they die. I lol'ed that the original Michael Knight is the new kid's father. I liked Michael Knight better. Though, it was pretty damn funny when KITT asked the new kid if he was gay. KITT's nifty changing abilities amuse me as well... Look don't mock me for my Knight Rider love. I *wanted* to watch the PR reunion, but just like before, it was over before I got back from my assignment.

I hate Squalo from Reborn. I just wanted to share that with the world. I hate his look and I hate the way he talks.

In happy fandom news, the nekomimi dansen video with Shirley and Lelouch is the cutest yet. It even has the rest of the council during cameos. Suzaku and Nunnally are so cute.

Also I totally pimped this Marianne fic to CFUD so why not do it again? It makes me so incredibly happy, considering that Geass fic has been lacking during the wait for R2. Where are you R2?
tempestuously: ([not!kamui] the more you know)
Boss and I had chat about my attitude recently. I admit I deserved it, even if it did make me feel incredibly awkward. The good thing is that we cleared the air with a lot of the major issues I've been struggling with.

Anyway, here's your Geass fic recs. And some of my bitching about fanfic peeves. )
