Last weekends started a little rough, but then I went costume shopping with my dad and it was nice. I'd say I'm about 85% done, since I still need the hat and some patterns on the poncho. I think some sewing is going to be in order. You know what else makes everything better? Food. (And seriously, Legal Seafood is the greatest restaurant ever. You get some swordfish, and some snap peas, and that yummy rice with the peppers in it... And pretty much they just give it to you like that, without all of that fancy shit you don't want. :3)

( BGAWK GRANDPA )

So yeah.

OKAY HERE'S THE DIGEST READY SET GO~

( This is what happens when you don't post for several weeks. )

Oh. That, and I have this stuck in my head. =DDDD

So school's okay, I guess. Nothing particular to say about it, though Mr. Mintz is the only teacher who I actually know. No more Beeks, no more R Quad... I had to laugh, though. It says something when you get a sudden sense of comfort after the first time your teacher meows. Thank you, Mr. Mintz.

Although... Mrs. Stanley, my lit teacher, has two Star Wars posters and a Chamber of Secrets poster up in her classroom, so that seems promising. =DDD

Also, I'm psyched to have lunch with all the peeps this year. Of course, my first two lunches have been spent helping Echo explain Metal Gear to artemisrampant. Mostly just the gay. Echo says it's "gayer than yaoi fanfiction" and it "makes the twins look straight." All of this is true.

So yeah, pretty much. I think I'm going to watch the Silent Hill movie, but I'm not sure yet. I dunno, maybe tomorrow night... I guess I'll think of more to say later. ^.^

(title from Mythbusters, btw)

Okay. So I went to go see HBP with Mum and chevy_the_geek . A few more things noticed, but nothing too drastic. Well... One thing's a little drastic.



I realize fully that I never made a China post, and I ought to, but I'm terribly lazy right now and I can't rouse myself to do so. On the fandom end of things, which is much more manageable, I watched the first two Lord of the Rings films on the way home (THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISEGARD!!!) and I really did like them. Aragorn is <33333 and is probably going to go on the List. I... Really should have something else to say about it? Gimli is funny and needs a crowning moment of awesome, I don't see how Arwen comes into this aside from making Aragorn miserable, Galadriel is a little creepy, but cool, I like Pippin and Merry, and Frodo reminds me very much of a Harry Potter, in the sense that he's emo with his burden and is no one's favorite character, even thought there's nothing unlikeable about him. Sam is totally a Ron.

And why, WHY couldn't Ian McKellan be Dumbledore? Not both Gandalf and Dumbles because that would be ridiculous, but just Dumbles. I mean... He would have been PERFECT! We wouldn't have had the GOF issue, and... Well, you know. He has the 'twinkly eyes' that Michael Gambon just doesn't.

I also finished Ouuuuuraaaan~ Oh God. I don't think I have enough time right now to do it justice, in fact, I'll make an Ouran post later, I think. Right. Because I watched the last episode on the bus ride the the Great Wall, and I almost started to cry, and... Yeah. I loved it. BRB on that.

Seeing HBP gave me a little bit of a boost, and now I'm cranking out new pieces of the Life's Work, which is always a good thing. Also character development, (finally!) for some of those OC peeps who hadn't gotten a whole lot of attention before. Also, I have Snape hanging out outside the gates until they take down the Dark Mark; I liked that addition to the movie, so I'm adding it to headcanon.

SO OKAY. I'm going to go pack for Comic Coooooon! I'l post my supposed schedule later, and I really should ask zarla  if she's going this year. Maybe not, since she's been doing alot of (super super cute) MGS comics-

Did I mention that I started playing Metal Gear? The second one. Otacon is so cuuuuuuute~ OKAY  TALK ABOUT THAT LATER GOTTA GO PACK BAI NAO~

NO NO NO REALLY QUICK: I had a dream last night that I had to write an in-class paper about commas and their usage, and I started it by quoting Shoebox, "Repeat after me, Mr. Black. I do believe in commas. I do, I do, I do." OKAY BYE

And goodnight! Tomorrow I''m off to a Communist country where I shall no doubt be thrown in front of a rickshaw by the most dreaded Beekbeast, after which my brains will be scooped up either by the aforementioned Beeks, who will stick it in an ice cream cone and eat it with rainbow sprinkles, or a poor noodle vendor who will mush it up and sell it to some unsuspecting tourist.

Or something. XDDD

I'll post when I get back, not only about China, but about the last few Ouran episodes I'll watch, as well as a few movies (Fanboys, Love Actually WTK is up with my taste in movies it's all over the map) and my commentary (fasten your seatbelts it's a comm-en-tar-y~) on Half Blood Prince, which I suspect will take me about eight or nine hours to read, leaving me with at least ten more hours for whatever just on that one flight.

I must ask, wouldn't you think a plane from Boston to California and then Hong Kong would be a good idea? Who came up with the plan to go from Boston to Newark (New Jersey) to Hong Kong? It makes no logical sense, so much so that you wouldn't need pointy ears to recognize how illogical it is. Anyway, so we leave in the morning for a 2 hour flight to NJ, there's a layover of about 4 hours (argh) and then 18 or so hours to Hong Kong. Whoo... But hey, I shouldn't be complaining. It'll be awesome, I keep telling myself, mostly to offset Mum who's like, "ASDFGHJKLKJHGFDS
DFGHHJKLKJHGJFOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGYOU'RE GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE~"

But I'm not going to die, unless the events of the first paragraph become an unfortunate reality.

So, I was watching the Colbert Report (<333) and during the break I saw a NEW HPB COMMERCIAL. omgomgomgomgomgomg... There were a few new clips, including a Snape-y one, with him throwing back this curtain and looking deliciously fabulous and did I just say that? Um... Anyway, I think it was from Slughorn's party, which I want to see so dearly... God, I cannot WAIT for this movie.  So yeah, I had to leap up and scramble to find my computer to post something, simply because I didn't even giggle, per se, and I didn't splee in the strictest sense... It was more of a choked gasp, followed by... Well, choking.  I'M A LOST CAUSE, I KNOW. (BTW, I just looked up another tv spot, and found Lavender gushing on about Ron with Snape in the background like, "Um... What?" XDDD <333 Also Dumbles being all "Hey Harry, you should ask Ginny on a date," and Harry all, "Noooooooo~" XD So awkward.)

Anyway, I just had to post that quick.

(Though I'd like to get it out there that I have spent far too long searching for Ouran soundtrack downloads in vain. Can I make a distress call out to the peeps on this account? (Sakura Kiss for strings is sooo pretty and I need it~)

I sort of lost my two-day Wolverine kick, but all-in-all... Memory wipes make everything better. Lumberjack!Logan is frigging adorable. Gambit is amazing, and is now in the lower bit of my List, and lyricalecho 's little sister would be madly in love with him. Ickle!Scott is adorable. As for "Huge Assman," it's not: I saw quite clearly. Emma is awesome. And did I mention how adorable happy!Logan is?

Exit 51 this past week was spent stalking Snapekid, mostly. He has a cool phone, and as Echo says, "He has such pretty eeeeeyessss~"

George bought a Spock action figure for me. ^.^ Actually, he moved up to #2 on my List, which is first for all intensive purposes. <333 And to be honest, I'm still sort of obsessed. In fact, I've never had any kind of desire to share any of my sci-fi/superhero fandoms with Mum, since she's not really into that, but I REALLY want her to see Star Trek. It's just so awesooooome~ (And also, I'm compelled to write Spock/Uhura fic. Is that a bad thing?) I have to draw something as a thank you note for George, I think.

I've been spamming my brain with Ouran, and it's sort of amazing. Was it Echo who described it as "G-rated prostitution"? It is, but I swear it's the fluffiest thing in the world. It's like fluff on crack, but without all the nasty  side effects. It is fanservice incarnate. XDDD So far, I think the beach episode is my favorite, or the one where they go to Haruhi's house. (Her dad is such a weirdo! *awwww*) Kyoya is on my List, somewhere in the high twenties, low thirties, I think. He can be such a jerk sometimes, but he's wonderful, really. Also, Honey = Momiji³. He's insanely cute, and I do love Mori. The Twins remind me sooo much of Fred and George, though their little angst story is incredibly sweet. And then there's Tamaki. XDDDD He's grown on me more and more, and he's just so gimmerously foppish...really need to watch the rest of the outtakes. ("That's a bad idea, Honey.")

So, Anime Boston is next weekend. (omg omg omg omg...) Genderbender!Layton is almost finished, so I think I can pull it off. I just need a top hat, but I'm going to go look for one today. I think there's a costume shop up near the Northshore Mall, so I'll go check that out. All phasers are locked!

EDIT: Dollhouse is RENEWED OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG (*implodes*)
