It feels like the last couple of weeks have been incredibly mundane. I think that's mainly because I haven't gone anywhere, and all things considered, it's probably a good thing. I've realized that so far this year, I've had at least one major event or trip that I've gone on every single month. THIS IS WHY I'M BROKE BTW.
We did have a little party yesterday for my aunt's birthday. It was a surprise party, and one of the first times I've ever seen a surprise party actually end up unspoiled. She was genuinely shocked that we had thrown it together, it was nice to see her so happy. :D
The party itself was a lot of fun, despite being Twilight-themed (my aunt's a huge Twilight fan), and my mother and I mostly despising Twilight. Bambi came up with some games (Interview with a Vampire, VAMP Bingo, etc. It was pretty lulzy), and gave the whole book series as a gift. It was one of those moments where the gift-receiver is so surprised that they tear up, and so almost everyone in the room ends up crying. It was such a cheesy Kodak moment, it was disgusting. ;)
And since I had nothing else to do, I mainly started to try and catch up on the new dramas this week. Specifically, Orthros no Inu and Buzzer Beat.
If there's one thing I'll always appreciate about Japan, it's their knack for subtlety.
The bad guy is dressed all in white! The good guy is dressed all in black! There's a gigantic, religious seeming painting looming in the background! SHIT, WHERE CAN WE FIT MORE SYMBOLS?
( It might be spoilery, so I'm cutting it )
One piece of good news is that I've sent out an application for a county job this week. With any luck, I'll hear back from them in the next week or two. :D I really need a job, like, yesterday, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one. |

So, I did another MIA deal and haven't updated this. I know, I know, I'm an awful LJ friend. :\ Mostly, I hesitated to post anything recently, just because my real life has been so up and down. My dad has had to get two surgeries, and so on. But things seem to be settling down a bit more, thankfully.
So on to better things! I got a kitten last week! :D I am a nerd, and apparently so is my family, so after much heated debate over what we should name him, we decided on Tiberius. ("No, that's the worst!" I hear people saying. BUT IT'S NOT.) He's incredibly fluffy and a huge attention whore, and he likes to climb on my face while I'm trying to sleep. He's a total brat, and I love him. <3
( Read more... )
Shawna has been here for the week, and we are up to all sorts of shenanigans. And by shenanigans, I generally mean watching jdramas and Arashi shit. We're marathoning Stand Up, which I think may be one of my new favorite dramas forever - mostly because Nino is in it doing stuff like this:
We also took a break from our busy lives to go to the New Kids On the Block concert in Saratoga. Which was pretty epic. And it's probably saying something about how much JE has warped my mind when I'm honestly a bit disappointed that none of their costume/wardrobe changes included anything with sparkles, fringe, and/or feathers. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BOYBAND BEHAVIOR. |

Hi to everyone I've recently friended!
Things that are bad about this past week:
-Jared canceling his appearance at the Supernatural con. SERIOUSLY WTF. NOT COOL, JARED.
-The Japanese store in the mall here is closing down in a few weeks. This is JUST when I'm about to have a decent enough income to go buy things. Sigh.
-Finishing Zettai Kareshi finally... which I liked, but seriously, I should have been warned before starting it that the ending STABS YOU IN THE HEART.
Things that are good about this week:
-BOBBY WILL BE THERE. Bambi is determined to tell him that he was her favorite character in Turner & Hooch. ;)
-We might go on Saturday now, which = MISHAFACE.
-Everything in the store was half off, and I found a Music Station Super Live DVD there! Arashi, Yamapi, KAT-TUN (sans Jin), pretty much every Johnny on the planet was on it. AND RANDOMLY, DANIEL POWTER PERFORMED LULZ.
-Shawna is going to be here! :D Cat sitting, of course.
-I got a good haircut! It's very short again, and I'm really happy with it. Bambi put in dark and light red highlights in hers, which I'm pretty sure probably glow in the dark. My mom put in some red underneath the top layer of blond, which makes her very PUNK ROCK.
-All This Love Crap, Taylor's new Supergroup, and the Mmmcock '09 scandal reminded me why I love Hanson so much. ♥
( Back to SUPER LIVE... )
I'm thinking of opening something up on Etsy, even though I doubt most of the world is in the market for the weird J-Pop stuff I make. :\ Which will also mean 3 out of 4 people in my family will have their own Etsy shop. We're really just that awesome. |

| Moar Maou |
[Aug. 21st, 2008|11:12 pm] |
So, we last established that I love Maou, right? Still true. Trying to keep up and actually download the newer ones, even though the files are huge. D: But since I have nothing better to do with my life, and I don't really care about the Olympics much, more reviews!
( Here there be Maou spoilers! )
Today I found two nearly finished fics, and thought about finishing and posting them. Clearly I did not do this. :\ Productivity, what is that again? I might still do it, since it would be nice to have something accomplished. I look for small victories these days, since I feel useless otherwise.
Oh, and I finished reading Watchmen early this week! Only to find out that FOX has fucked the movie over, possibly forever. Woe is me. D: But seriously, that book? Fucking amazing. Once I finished it, I kind of had to absorb the whole thing for awhile, the last few chapters were overwhelming.
I might be meeting with the guy on Sunday. Maybe. If the plans work out. And granted I won't fail and wimp out on it. |

Hilariously enough, I totally kind of liked that ending. |

PGSM - I'm totally up for the cheese factor of it at this point. I watched a couple more of the episodes and it has too much lulz to not go onward.
In other news, naked Yamapi has graced our computer screens, and the internet promptly exploded. I saw this picture and thought of him.
( WHAT COULD IT BE? )
And then I realized that he clearly should not be naked with some model, but rather other JE boys.
( FIERCE ) |
