Still not in a mood to be active tonight. Overall slumpy all day. Watched/read stuffs though.

Destiny: Flashbacks do not an ending make )

Avatar: Great episode. Sokka shows his smarts. Zuko finally lets the fangirls know the real reason he keeps around that necklace. Aang is less than perfect. And the fights. They were my favorite part. Where else do you see a bison taking on a gigantic weasel? Plus, the whole Zuko vs. Aang moment with the fire and air converged attack was very Sasuke vs. Naruto, with less subtext. They even blasted each other onto roofs. I want more Avatars eps like this.

I need Banana Fish 10 and Bleach 9 now because both of them are getting so good. I need to catch up on my of my manga reading. Angel Sanctuary is getting interesting too.

Naruto Dub: Don't like how they cut out the stabbing scene but kept the blood. Make up your minds! Liked Sasuke's delivery of the "scaredy-cat" line. Perfect.

Yugioh Dub: Didn't see since cable was out until 12 p.m. Came back on just after Yugioh should have ended. No British Thief King Bakura for me. I need to track down some dubbed AE arc.

Usually I don't like using this term because I think it's silly to resent people just because they wish to have children and you do not. The guys in Queer as Folk like to use it all the time, but they make it funny. But today, I'm following a school bus and it pulls away, leaving its childrens dancing around their mothers. The inlet into my neighborhood is very shallow and I don't like pulling in when people are there, especially little people. So I pause and glance at the mothers, figuring sane parents will call their children close to them to prevent their getting smashed by bad driver me. I wasn't dealing with sane parents. They sat there and watched as their children dashed about, inches from the front of my car. I was in hysterics because I was too scared to drive when I couldn't see them and I was stuck in the inlet. The parents still refuse to acknowledge logic and rescue their children. If I would have run them down, it would have been on their heads for being stupid. Trapped and getting visibly more angry each second, I slammed my hand down hard on the horn. The children freaked out and ran to the sides, giving me just another room to drive past. I could see some very annoyed faces in my rearview mirror. They better not pull that shit with me again.

In anime news, I don't like spoilers. I'm so happy all of you Destiny fans got to see your final episodes and can revel in the inside jokes and icons and rundowns of the series, but not everyone goes for the raws. Did you have to plaster the info all over the communities? I don't want to know what happens! I want to watch it. Now, I'm confused and have all these horrible ideas in my head about what happened to my characters. I'm particularly worried for Shinn. For non-community people's, please don't mention Destiny on your entries without a spoiler-cut.

And for a vague comment. I'm a very hard person to please. I apologize for that now. But sometimes I see things a certain way and when they aren't, I'm caustic and judgmental. It'll take a lot to win me over. *sighs* Those of you who know what I'm talking about, please don't discuss it here. I just wanted to get it out.

I still feel crappy. No more RPing for the Nayami when she's dealing with monthly woes. Speaking of which, Graham, perhaps you can help me figure out something to do with my duelist this evening. Before I get too occupied in the pup.

Yes, I'm listening to my depressing Peter Gabriel again.

Watched Destiny 46. I cried for Meer. She may have been annoying as hell at times, but deep down, she knew what was right. I loved all her scenes with Lacus. She should have had more Lacus interaction throughout the series. It would have made me like her more. I even enjoyed her scenes with Asuran in this one. He's always trying to help convert others to the faith of Kira and Lacus. Speaking of Asuran, it's so nice to see that boy back in his zone. He's got mad hops and he kicks serious ass. I need a gif just of him springing about, firing off bullets. Hot! Their stuff in the store was cute too. Fun makes Asuran uncomfortable, and Kira is just too easy to please. I always giggle as pissy-Lacus because it's so anti-Lacus. Props for Meyrin too, who continues to be loads better than her sister when it comes to purpose and development. But yeah, Meer, I feel bad for you, babe. You really didn't deserve all that hate I threw at you throughout this time. I won't mind an episode telling me your origins this week, even if they should be wrapping up the series. Silly creators.

I wanted to re-make my Psychosis!Sims yet again today. I just finished perfecting Raul and Ari. Raul is way too pretty. He puts Ari to shame. I think there's going to be some jealousy. Anyway, I decided to wait on the Psychosis boys, at least until I get Uni. I'll pick that up with my next pay check in two weeks. I don't like making the Guardians boy teens, but I don't think they're ready for the adult world yet. Young Adult is perfect for them. Besides, I still need to figure out how to make Erik. And I need a Romulus for the Heritage!Clan.

Escaflowne was also on last night. That movie bothers me because of how badly it butchers the characters. Caveman Van, suicidal Hitomi, creepy Allen and "I'm evil" Folkien. The only one who fares better is Dilandual, who doesn't have to live out the rest of his life as a girl. I don't know why he did so well but good for you, pyro-man. I never noticed how huge the wings of the Dragon Clan are. I think they could take on Clamp wings.

I really want some of Lacus' music now. Like her main song that Meer was singing in the beginning of 46. I haven't heard the full version in some time. I'll even go for some of Meer's pop music because even if it isn't Lacus, it's feel-good stuff. Reminds me of Minako from PGSM.

Dear crew of Archangel (specifically LACUS CLYNE),

Going after Gilbert when there's a psychotic colony-destroying maniac on the loose, with the capability to use his super-weapon again and take out what's left of PLANT is insane troll logic! No wonder half of the fandom is pissed with you. Whatever Gilbert plans to do, it can be dealt with after you take out lipstick-putz, thank you.

Deakka and Yzak, you two still rock.

[livejournal.com profile] quebelly, I forgot your safety pins at Tom's so I'll buy you a new set soon. I did bring back your ears and whoever's dogtags.

Back from Otakon. I dread catching up with LJ, among other things. Hung out with Tom, [livejournal.com profile] _argustar and [livejournal.com profile] crowphoenix and bought too much stuff. A full report and Nayami's attempt at photography tomorrow. Too tired now. Also managed to dig into both ankles with the back of my shoes without realizing it. Ruined a perfectly good pair of socks. Overall, the only minuses about Otakon I had this year were the disorganized and abitrary masquerade choices and the lines that never ended for VA autographs. I did get Vic though! He's darling!

Got random cosplay idea for next time: Ice Princess Sasuke. In my perfect vision, it's beautiful.

Also watched Destiny 43 with pals. I was cheering so loud that the fanboys walking by us had to stop and figure out what the heck I was looking at. Most recognized. Loved the Cagalli vs. Meer vs. Lacus radio sabotage extravaganza. Also loved the return of Seed!Asuran and Kira catching him as he plummeted out of the sky after achieving his goal of knocking that damn chip off SuperAce!Shinn's shoulder. Take that, flyboy! I think Cagalli's about to give Asuran a stern talking to about dashing off to battle when he's internally injured.

Tom needs to get more sleep, and William needs to stop playing World of Warcraft 24/7 and then telling us about it. Next time he does that, I'm telling him about all the things that I read about going on in the camp. He better not AIM me about it, thinking I have interest. That's scary.

Still need to figure out how I'm going to get work to give me a teensy weensy bit of time off so I can hit up the baseball game with the family tomorrow. Bad timing so close to Otakon and all.

And, [livejournal.com profile] crowphoenix, you forgot to get back your twenty so I'll have to send you one in the mail.

Managed to recover Sims 2 and DDR Max from my little thief. But I can't prove that the fucker stole Final Fantasy X because he so happens to have owned a copy once upon a time. Bro says that the bastard asked if he could borrow FFX when he was over. Why someone would need to borrow a game that they already own is beyond me and more than a little suspicious. But as of now, it's just Bro's word against the hellspawn's so I lose. Bro has agreed to pay the $20 for the game.

In cosplay news, my ears suck and my Cagalli hair is unstyled and probably a widdle too long, but it will do. Once I buy the spray for Yayoi's ears and hair and Natsuo's tail, I'll be good to go. I would play the same game as half my friend's list and ask who's hitting Otakon, but since I already commented on most of the posts of people asking the same question, I'll skip it.

Thankfully I can watch Destiny 43 to calm my nerves. Oddly enough, Farscape episodes with [livejournal.com profile] quebelly helped too. I miss Talen. He was cute for a punk-ass bitch ship.

Found more artist journals to stalk and comment on for being cooler than me.

Didn't think Destiny would cheer me up as much as it did. Between kick-ass Cagalli nailing Yuna in the face, Kira making another grand entrance with his T.M.Revolution music, Lacus and Asuran having a moment, Neo delivering Mwu's trademark line, and Asuran realizing his place as Justice's pilot, I loved every second of this episode. Say goodnight, Rey. Asuran's going to cut you off. Kira, just kick Shinn in the balls. It will do him some good. Asuran, please don't compare Lacus to Gil. It makes me sad. I also think I'm developing an extreme hatred of Lunamaria due to the lack of development being done to her character, aside from randomly tossing her with Shinn. Meyrin, I still have an iota of respect for because she could throw herself all over Asuran and she doesn't. She wins a gold star.

Uh, I think I missed an episode since Asuran wasn't up and walking when I last saw 40? Does that mean that something actually happened during the recap episode? Now I have to go find it.

It seems so much of the old news guard is disappearing each day and no others are springing up. I do think that ABC made the wrong decision to spend almost their entire broadcast tributing Peter Jennings. He would have preferred them to just do the news and select a separate time to do a longer preview. Still, I almost cried while watching because Jennings loved journalism so much and really hoped he would be able to return. More depressing, it shows that when it comes to drugs, people really don't have a second chance. Smoking now has a good chance of damning you for life. Jennings should have had more time. I'll always remember the first time I saw his famous Berlin Wall clip, in which he gushed about being handed a piece of the Wall. I'll miss you, Peter.

Rant of the Day: Back to School and Testing in the States )

I can't believe I'm seriously allergic to my synthetic fur because now I have a sore throat and have been sniffling all day. I have to write my papers for my internship final tomorrow or Wednesday. I hope I'll be able to scan things at [livejournal.com profile] quebelly's sometime tomorrow as well. I'm barely going to be able to squeeze in time for con preparation with my brother's birthday and my company picnic on Saturday and everything for school due on Friday. I don't even know if I'll be able to get Friday off.

My brother had better start finishing his work sooner since I'm tired of coming home around 5 and working until practically 9 just because he wants to ass around for a good chunk of the time. Is it that difficult for him to do simple things like eat during the 10am-5pm shift I work? I guess I should just be happy that he's actually reading while I'm at work. Or I trust that he is. Time will tell when he has to write his book report. He can answer summary questions about what he read whenever I ask so that's a good sign.

And Six Feet Under might actually end on a deserving note. Color me shocked. I still love Keith and David's children of the corn.

I might finally get to watch Destiny 42.

Top 20 Pairing Meme )


Done my mini-break for now. I think it might have been in vain, but we'll see. I was extremely busy this week anyway with my job. I've been playing with Sims alterations again. Someone has to tell me a good site where I can find decent clothes for guys as well as decent hairstyles. I hate how girls have an infinite amount of choices but guys either look like prep rejects or stoners. I did manage to find some nifty Victorian clothes. After seeing how deliriously easy it is to alter clothes, I might attempt something with the Naruto children shortly. But I still don't want to make them without Sasuke's proper hair and not that stupid bowl cut all of the Sims-makers keep giving him.

I've had anime dreams for the past two nights in the row. This never happens to me and I have no idea what's bringing it on. Two days ago, I dreamed that I was watching dubbed Naruto. I can't even remember who was doing the voices, I just remember liking the Sasuke. Then last night I dreamed that I was watching an episode of Destiny and Kira was going bonkers. Asuran was still injured so he couldn't do much aside from pleading for Kira's sanity. But Cagalli rushed at Kira and tried to stop him. I think he cut her with something and she stumbled back. Then, it all gets blurry. I kinda remember her winning and Kira being sad and injured. What do these weird-ass predictions mean?

My aunt showed up around 10 a.m. today and was screeching for my father. I have no idea how she got into my house, but I believed she just walked in because she is disrespectful like that. I'm having a good talk with my father about allowing that madwoman to show up here and scream for him for ten minutes. I didn't even know where he was at the time.


Someone finally gave me an idea how to go about my Natsuo costume so I'm going to be spending most of the week working on that. I need to hijack a sewing machine.

OH, I forgot to mention that the child in the new Gravitation manga is the biggest badfic plot in the world. But because I'm so fixated on Six Feet Under right now, where Keith and David are trying to adopt some punk children, I'm less hateful to the idea as I should be. It would be nice if the kid didn't have to call Shuichi "mama" though.

Ugh, I need to take a shower after all that gardening.
tempestuously: (asuran/cagalli 4ever die yuna-nayami)
I hate Rey. Sorry, I just feel that if I don't declare my hatred for Rey once a day, my life is not complete. That said, Cagalli rocks once she gets the Atatsuki. I don't like how Asuran is doing right now, as it makes me nervous and worried about how he will fare once he gets Justice. Knowing Gundam, they might just kill him off. *chews nails* While I don't want Shinn to die by far, I at least hope that Cagalli gets a piece of his manipulated ass. That and shouldn't Shinn have some issue with the ZAFT attack on Onogoro, seeing as that's where his family was killed? His technicolor dreams weirded me out.

I'm leaning toward researching some Naruto charas like Kiba, Shino, Ino, and Temari. Just for shits and giggles, you know.

Graham, I'm seriously considering your suggestion, as I'm dying big time. (Sensing a pattern here.) Let's talk about how I can work your idea into the scenario.

Why do the damn campers have to do everything at night? Now I have to play catch-up again.

Six Feet Under is weirding me out with everybody being a bitch except for Keith and David. )

Thomas informs me that the hateful Sci-Fi network, which turned recently turned down the new season of Dr. Who and who refused to save Firefly in the past, has now decided to pump that cash cow. They will be starting the episodes in late July. What good does syndication do when practically everyone who knows the show has the entire thing on DVD? If the wanted to support Firefly, they should have been their when Joss needed to keep in on the air. I hate opporunists.

Have to finally cut out clips today and send one of my uncles a thank you since I accidentally forgot him. Whoopsie. My conference went well. I might actually have to ask for a job soon. *winces*

Destiny 39 is chugging along for me. I've heard mixed review on the AsuCaganess of it all, but I figure it he's saying he's sorry, it's good enough for me. I don't need a mushy love scene just yet. I just need Asuran to survive. And for Rey to die. DIE REY DIE! Sorry, I never much liked the Barbie doll from hell before he had a personality and was anything besides ZAFT-candy. Now I hate that he's a manipulative puppet for Gil. Gil, I am unsure of so I'll let him have the benefit of a doubt. But Rey must go. I hear someone's going in August and it better be him. Kira and Asuran need puppies. Puppies make everyone feel better. Shinn needs...dobermans. And Luna needs to not exist since her entire personality got eaten by the plot. Shinn/Luna has about as much romance in it as my cat and my father's shoe. Probably less. At least my cat gets into it.

Kishimoto, when will you realize that half of your fanbase doesn't care about the Atatsuki, aside from Itachi and Kisame, and that you need to get back to your other friggin' ninjas? Sakura also doesn't approve of puppet-tentacle-rape. Not her thing, man. Rache is right; Itachi is the most sane out of the group, and that's scary.

Banana Fish depresses me. Ash and Eiji need to make out before something happens to Ash. Arthur is a fuck.

EDIT: Strike Freedom is so awesome. It's more of a Wendall II to Destiny's Xenogears. Or maybe it's more of Elly's Vierge since it has the RODS going for it. I have such love for Kira and Lacus right now. They need iconage. And Asuran and MwuNeo need some of Heine's soothing tea.

Completely caught up with Destiny now. *is proud of going from 23 to 38 in one day*

More Destiny ramblings )

Dammit. Someone already apped the Digi-boys. Well, there's always Taito. I want to play with the Gundam boys, but I doubt I could ever manage Lacus or Cagalli. And the other girls suck.
tempestuously: (iconz_kthx-franz is molesticious)
First things first, I last left off at 15 and have been keep track with summaries so saying that I'm behind is quite the under-statement. Currently up to 23.

-I no longer hate Stellar. Her scene with Shinn got to me and now I find them an adorable couple and am deeply depressed, knowing their future.
-I no longer find Shinn to be an annoying, little prick. He's probably got the most personality of any of the Seed pilots and watching his relationship with Asuran grow is amusing. I really like the moments when he can be happy or when he's receiving nuggets of wisdom from Asuran.
-I still wish the show wouldn't flashback either the death of Shinn's family or things they've shown about five minutes ago. Same complaint goes for Impulse's need to assemble itself every battle.
-Lunamaria needs to get a clue. Meryn is just a waste of space.
-Meer is almost as bad as Flay. All she has going for her is the fact that she's not a bitch. Again, worse than Relena. She also needs to get a clue and realize that Asuran has other things on his mind than his "relationship" with Lacus.
-I no longer mock Heine. Sure, he's your typical bishounen, but he makes Asuran smile and he's friendly. I'll miss him.
-Watching these episodes in succession makes me less critical of their plot. When you don't have to wait forever for a new development, you stop caring if things aren't pristine everytime. It reminds me that I really need to find a way to marathon Seed. But missing the first half of the series is very off-puting. I think I enjoy GSeed Destiny more than the original or Gundam Wing because there's just more characters I care about. That could just mean that I need to pay as much attention to Seed as I've been paying to Destiny this marathon.
-Ray is still a wallflower and Gil is still very creepy.
-Neo is obviously more than meets the eye, and I'm developing a new interest in him.
-I have a feeling I won't be happy with Kira very much longer.

I blame the camp and recent LJ murmurings for nudging me back to this series, and I am very grateful. I need to bring back my crappy AsuKira icon.

Writing went semi-decent yesterday. We've established that Nicky is insane and Luce is not an idiot. We've also established that Ty will surely be scarred for life. Silly Ty, this is why we knock. Wait, I don't pity him; I have to write him next. I hate you, Ty!

Upon hearing about the return of AsuKira, the next best thing to AsuCaga, I shall be returning to Seed after reading DNAngel 7. I am still debating Honey & Clover. Everyone likes it but real-life drama, not my thing. I need a game or some sort of villain to hold my interest. Though, I say all this having watched zero episodes and will probably end up biting my tongue later. I don't know if Xenosaga II will be taken up again for a bit.

I want to go to Best Buy and buy "Rock of Ages" because I need more Leppard music, thanks to that concert.

Though I feel toward Pokemon the way the Naruto fans feel toward Yugioh, I am having slight interest in the Satoshi(Ash) character at the camp since he seems to be picking fights with Anakin and Sasuke. I have much to catch up with, I see. This is why voting days are always so bad for the Nayami; they drive her away from her crack.

Father says I need to go to Japan so I will stop fangirling the scary tennis boys around him. Everytime I try to watch my musicals, I have to listen to bitching about how there's no ball, how you can't play tennis when you aren't even facing each other, you can't hit a ball if you take that long to return a serve, why are those guys poking each other's asses with a racket and what the hell does "Mada mada dane" mean anyway. I told them it's just art and it's cute choreography. Besides, it's the one thing I fangirl like nothing else. I may not write fics, read fics, view fanart, draw fanart, or even converse much about Tenimiyu, but you put it in front of me and I am certifiably insane. Once I get a job, I am going to Japan, and I am going to see Yanagi.
