As Ilona once said to me, "Whatever you think about him personally, you have to admit, that man can sing." And it's absolutely true.

Crazy shit, man.

So, Star Trek opening weekend. So. Frickin'. Awesome. My only complaint is that I wish they had not insisted on shooting like every single scene handheld by a 90-year-old guy with DT. I almost thought I was gonna have a repeat of Blair Witch Project. But wow, so enjoyable, great special effects, and PERFECT casting.

And now, for my thoughts on yaoi.

minor spoilers )

Anyway, I'm seriously thinking about going back on Monday, since that's discount ticket day. How can it be June already?!

my big board, let me show you it

In keeping with the idea that watching fucked-up movies will make me feel less fucked-up by comparison, I watched Dr. Strangelove tonight. God, that movie is so brilliant. But it reminds me of my friend who is Jewish and therefore is completely intolerant of anything German (even though her family is of German descent, and what a lol it was the day she found THAT out), who was like "OMG how can you even WATCH that movie don't you know the title character is a Nazi???" And it's like, ummmm, that's the whole POINT?

Anyway, I'm feeling much better than last night, but this cough is a bitch.

it's also capslock Friday, btw

OMG I AM SO MISERABLE. IF I LIE DOWN I CAN'T SLEEP. IF I GET UP I'M TOO TIRED TO DO ANYTHING. I'M SUPPOSED TO TAKE MY MEDICINE AFTER MEALS BUT I'M NOT HUNGRY ENOUGH TO EAT ANYTHING. MY EARS AND KNEES AND EYEBALLS HURT.

I'M GOING TO GO FORCE-FEED MYSELF SOME NOODLES WHILE I WATCH CITY OF LOST CHILDREN BECAUSE THAT'S HOW FUCKED UP I FEEL.

So, all public schools in Osaka and Hyogo prefectures are closed due to swine flu. Come on, Kyoto! You can do it!

So, to cap off a week that involved my JTE saying, "Hey, let's have a lesson about that guy from SMAP who got drunk and ran around Tokyo naked!" and a whole bunch of cops coming to my school because of a moped gang, [info]misspaulette and I went to see the Takahashi Rumiko exhibit at Isetan. It would have been super amazingly awesome, except A, it was packed with a billion people, and B, while we were in the Ranma 1/2 section, some kid threw up all over the place. And by all over the place, I mean there was a trail of vomit going through every room in the exhibit. -_-

The exhibit really was amazing, though. It was so cool to see the original artwork up close. Plus, there was a whole room with pictures of Lum drawn by other mangaka, including Nonaka Eiji (Cromartie High), Watase Yuu (Fushigi Yuugi), Kumeta Kouji (Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei), Arakawa Hiromu (Fullmetal Alchemist), and my favorite one, Yoshizaki Mine (Keroro Gunsou). I was seriously ready to scream from all the people, though.

Then we went to Starbucks in Porta to get something to eat, and there was a special music stage thingy going on right next to it. Just as we were finishing eating, the next act came on, an a capella group. They were really good, so we stayed to listen to their whole set, and were rewarded with the unexpected awesomeness of their last number.



Bleh, I also set up a new ff.net acount for myself (pen name Sporktacular), but there's nothing there that's not already on [info]geek_mythology. I learned that ff.net's upload system still sucks, they still have ridiculous character restrictions, and there are still lots of idiot reviewers. >.> Oh well, here's hoping to get back into the swing of things. (Damn stupid people on the internet need to stop being so entertaining! They're taking up too much of my time!)

I've got to do purikura more often. The lighting in those booths makes everyone look so good!

Okay, this is mostly a gratuitous icon post. Oh, Japan.

Finally took Syuusuke to the Apple Store in Shinsaibashi to have his top case replaced. Don't know WHY it took me so long to get around to doing that. Good God, that place is like walking into a wet dream. :Q The two guys who helped me at the Genius Bar saw my desktop, and were like, 「あっ、きれい」 and we chatted about flowers and cameras. X3 Plus, Syuu is looking quite sexy with his pure white uncracked top case and brand new keyboard. <3

(Officially, this was a trip to the consulate to get my passport renewed, which I also managed to do, despite being fate's buttmonkey all morning.)

So, I just caught up on Supernatural.

I'm a little bit speechless. I wonder what the normal people think of it. XD

I hope this won't be the end of the gay references nearly every episode?
bad idea
I have ten dolls in my apartment right now. @_@ Six to send as soon as I hear back from their owners, one to sell because the original buyer flaked out on me, and three that are mine.

Thanks to the lovely [info]usa_p, I was able to recover most of my lost photos. Even though my computer had already overwritten most of the data, I was able to pull them off my photo card. *hugs forever*

In other news, still way too stressed over stuff I need to catch up on from vacation. ~_~
*headwall*
No amount of swearing could express my anger right now. My computer just ate 700 photographs. The most maddening part is that they were THERE. I even sent one to [info]magicpotion. Then suddenly, the entire roll disappeared. All my pictures from Mount Fuji, Tokyo, Himeji, Nijo Castle light-up, etc. Fuck.

As requested, photos of my senbazuru. Sorry the lighting in my apartment is so bad.

My flickr page is up to date now, so check there for photos of plum blossoms and sumo! This is probably the last chance I'll have to post before leaving on vacation. Sorry for not replying to the people I owe comments to!

SAKURA SAKU ANO MICHI WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~

It's okay Yuuta- I'll let you into *my*
Saw the first cherry blossoms today! \o/ Spring is finally here!!!! To celebrate, I have a bottle of Canada Dry Sakura Mist on my desk, and a sweet potato in the oven.

(Yuuta icon because I had a Yuuta dream last night. ♥)

I had a Very Cultural Weekend. Yesterday [info]misspaulette and I went to a taiko recital. Seeing little girls being taught to beat on drums as big as themselves makes me happy.

Today was pro wrestling! \m/



It was actually a lot of fun. I wish the tournament came to Osaka more than once a year.

I'm not normally a J-drama fan, but My Boss My Hero is hilarious. Especially Kazu, OMG. (And for the record, he was my favorite even before his crush on Makio became canon.) But I'm a little upset that now I can't unilaterally hate everything that has to do with Johnny's.

But you know what would probably make the show even funnier? IF THE GODDAMN SUBTITLES WOULD WORK. I frickin' hate subbers who would rather prove how l337 they are than provide a product that actually works.

I'm also in a really huge HikaGo mood, since I also watched that while making cranes. I have to say, I really do think that HikaGo is even gayer than TeniPuri or OoFuri. And I want fic where Hikaru is sent to a psychiatrist.

I'm really looking forward to the day when I can do something with my "free" time besides watch TV and make cranes.

Crane count: 897 down, 103 to go.

Today's earthquake was big enough to be put on the USGS map! It was a 4.8, but the epicenter was about 60km northeast of here, so it was still pretty mild, but there was definitely more shaking going on than any of the other earthquakes so far.

Anyway, what people really want to know about: Phoenix Wright: The Not-As-Gay-As-You-Would-Expect Musical!



spoilerzzzzz )

tl;dr 6.5/10, would lol again. I just hope it doesn't turn the fandom to shit like TeniMyu did.

Crane count: 758 down, 242 to go.
