Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

Sob. I won't be able to see HP7 tonight probably so I will probably be avoiding my FL until I do see it. I am so looking forward to some trio action too, particularly Ron/Hermione, which is my love~.

Also, work's changes are taking slightly more getting used to than I expected. :( Ah well, we'll work out the kinks soon enough.

I like my new name and default icon. I went to the store and spent about $20 buying things to adhere my Geass items to the wall, only to learn the items don't work. Now I have to go and buy other stuff later. I also need to see if the bank machine will stop being a bastard and let me transfer money around my account. I have done virtually nothing all day. We call this OCD: Geass Style. I think it's reached unhealthy levels.

( Now I blather on about RP stuffs because I'm bored and restless. )

And now back to the scanning and the waiting and the whining.

I am just writing this to let people know I am back from Otakon. It was full of awesome and win, aside from my hotel bitches who spent all of Saturday reading HP like dorks. But I got some of the best Geass doujin in the world, two of the voice figures, lots of pretties to stick on my wall, all of the released manga (not Nightmare of Nunnally), the Ashford artbooks, saw a beautiful Kallen cosplayer and a fine Lelouch cosplayer and best of all, got accosted by Bandai's industry spy while waiting for Seki to sign my Gravitation poster.

I've never been privy to the official announcement of the licensing of one of my favorite series so this was very interesting. But I did love the part where Bandai U.S. assured us that Pizza Hut will continue to support the Rebellion in the U.S. Yes, in those words. They are well aware of what American fans have been saying about the show. Also, the announcement of showing Geass on TV did not say "American" broadcast; it said "international." ANN mispoke. I was there. A few fans and I made damn sure Bandai knows we want all the DVD extras, including the DVD booklets and the picture dramas. It's going to be fun dealing with the final two episodes when it comes to subbers, but other than that, I knew Bandai was going to get Geass around this point, and I am insanely excited about buying the animation-restored/rechecked DVDs. Also, it was great fun to watch Geass at Otakon and hear a bunch of guys go "NO ___ put down the gun" when a certain character showed up in the episode preview. Hah! I love being around Geass fans so the excitement that tore through the air when the Geass announcement came up was intense. I was not expecting so many to care. Guess Geass is making an impression after all. How I love my Geass.

I also chatted it up some about Seki with Maki Murakami and fully enjoyed both the AMV contest (almost all my favorites won) and the masquerade. Harry Potter Release Night was also amusing, as was hanging with the CFUD peeps in the artist gallery and having a super-quick chat with silver_huskey.

In conclusion, I am now avoiding the Internet until I finish Harry Potter and possibly until the final two episodes of Geass are released. SPOIL ME FOR GEASS AND YOU FUCKING DIE!!!

I again have Net time and sanity so you get review posts.

But first a note from Tom: "Peter O'Toole scares the shit out of me!"

( Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix )


Ratatouille was also a delight, with all its plotlines going at once, the awesome food critic played by O'Toole, the dorky camaraderie between the protagonist Linguini and his "little chef" the rat, the crazy antics of the main chef, the adult human interspersed within -- the small penis joke XD -- the wild camera angles, the rendering of the food and of course the completely unexpected ending. This is definitely more than a movie about a rat who wants to be a chef.

Oh and the baseball game I went to last night, they won. Yay.

So afraid to check out the newest Naruto. *whimpers*

Ok, the deleted scenes and extras for the Goblet of Fire DVD reach new levels of wrongness. Aside from Snape dashing about to all the locked cars and deducting points from liplocked students, the inhumanely creepy goth rock band that plays at the Yule Ball and the headache-inducing Hogwarts theme song, you also get Ralph Fiennes and Daniel Radcliffe interaction. Disturbing interaction. I don't know what was worse. Fiennes constantly touching himself. Poor audio that made it sound like Daniel said "His body is FANTASTIC." Or Fiennes saying "When it really comes down to it, what you have is an older man who's tied up a younger boy and is humiliating him." GOD FIENNES! It was twisted enough without you having to beat to death the pedophilia motif.

Needless to say, this is my favorite HP DVD ever!

( Adobe Premiere is being slightly less of a dick, but we'll see how it fares when I add in the Soubi and Kio parts. )

Took the car out for spin with the sun roof down for the first time ever. I might eventually get around to taking pictures, but I doubt it. I don't know. I think it needs something. Probably Tenimiyu. That would shut up the boy in his tricked, sunroof-having sports car that just had to blast the Milkshake Song at top volume whenever we hit a red light together. He can have his milkshake, I'll have my victoly.

For my Yugioh fans, Yugioh does The Two Towers and Return of the King. Highlights include Yami as Aragorn, Bakura as Frodo and two special guests as Theoden and Sam. May the crossover orgy begin.

Work's been killing me, which is why nobody's been seeing me the past few days. I think it's almost under control now. Either that or I'm going to stop being a whiny wuss and letting it consume me in how tired I am. I will be with the Tom tonight, but might come back sometime mid-day to write stuff. Saw Goblet. Was good. Longer report when LJ stops being a little bitch. Remember, not in a bad mood. Just really tired when I come home and not wanting to do anything but slug about.

I really really want the new Avatar. ZUKO vs. ZHAO nummy!

Would you believe I almost wrote school instead of work in the subject line?

Sorry to those who usually talk to me, but I've been one sick puppy for the past few days. I've missed most of my shows, GX included, because I've just been lying around in bed, being miserable. ARGH, I can't believe apps are already up again. I missed the notice! All of that research for nothing! *rips out hair* I think the cold's gone now. Probably got it from Dad. But today's a Friday and I got off work early so plenty of catch-up time if I'm not a shy-ass.

Sasuke-neko sure lives up to her name. Nikki (my most vicious cat) showed up when I was giving Sasuke her medicine and Sasuke starts struggling to get out of my arms. I figured she wanted to make a break for it. But no, she jumps away from me and dive-bombs Nikki. Nikki bolts and then Sasuke chases after her and pounces on her, kicking and scratching. Nikki is just flabbergasted by the whole thing since she's usually the one who picks on Louis (my chubby cat). Eventually Nikki recovers from her shock and bitch-slaps Sasuke to the other side of the room. This is where I step in and save my kitten from certain death. But I have a feeling this fight is going to reach Stage 2 when I'm at work. Sasuke, why must you be an arrogant bitch?

Speaking of Naruto, ( Sssh I'm about to spoil you. )

Tom wants me to hit up his place for Harry Potter. I said I might if he breaks out his Harry costume again. I guess this means I'll have to whip me up something Hermione-like and curl my hair or something. Don't know who can be our Ron. We need more crazy friends.

*sobs* So much camp-reading to do before I can even catch up.
