Abandon thought and let the dream descend

Watching SyFy's Alice. It's alright...mostly I'm just enjoying how super, super hot the hatter is, holy jeezus.

( Here, enjoy )

Mmmm. I enjoy me some guyliner, what can I say.

Also watched Lady & the Tramp, which was so cute! I'd forgotten how cute it was, I hadn't watched it since I was little. Started to watch the Aristocats, but then I took a shower and got distracted, started Alice.

Lol, it's finals week and I'm watchin' silly TV mini-serieseses and old Disney cartoons instead of studying or writing papers. I r good studentz!

Peace.

Jeremy came to visit me for three whole days! It was lovely. I took him to my favorite Santa Maria restaraunts and he met my family and he loves Miss Tia! We didn't do a whole lot aside from eat, watch movies, snuggle, and talk, but a) that's all there is to do in SM and b) those are the things I like to do anyway. We watched Jennifer's Body! GO BUY IT, CAME OUT YESTERDAY. I <3 that movie and Jeremy even said it wasn't that bad, cuz he thought it wouldn't be awful and it wasn't, it's AWESOME. Or okay, but I think AWESOME.

Saw Avatar today. I liked it, visually sutnning, blah blah. Mostly I just hated the military jerk guy, hated mankind for what we do to native populations and the Earth, and want to live on a planet that glowwwwwwws. So cool. Jeremy says raves are kinda like that. Maybe I should go to a rave?

I was gonna go back to SC for New Year's, but I think I'm gonna chillax here instead. This break has been pretty fun, but really rather busy and I kinda just want to lock myself in my room and read and marathon anime with my brother.

Speaking of anime marathons! We need a series to marathon for New Year's! Something we can finish in like a day or two, so one season shows are best. Any recommendations?

I saw a TERRIBLE movie today. It was Post Grad with Alexis Bledel. I was hoping it would be like a lame light-hearted fun sort of movie, but it was just awful. Even my mom hated it and she never hates any movies. As long as she's entertained, she's good, but this had absolutely no redeeming qualities. It was basically girl graduates college, girl doesn't get job, girl's life starts to fall apart, girl ignores male bff who's in love with her, male bff leaves for columbia, girl gets dream job, girl leaves dream job to follow boy (who she had no romantic interest in before) to New York where she has no job, apartment, or plan. So, basically, it's a much better idea to follow a boy who you don't feel chemistry with but is comfortable allllll the way across the country, rather than working hard and climbing your way up the corporate ladder to a job you've always dreamed of. Because love (that you're settling for) > dream career. Because girls can't have high powered careers, silly. And the girl who gets the job before her and was valedictorian and stuff? Bitchy, stuck up, and gets fired. Because that's what ambition gets you. Urrrrrrrg. Why can't movies about women and careers/education all be like Legally Blonde? Where she works hard, puts men to the side, and accomplishes something for herself? But I guess that's setting too high of standards for Hollywood. Silly me.

What looks like a much better movie is Drew Barrymore's Whip It. Ellen Page, Alia Shawkat, and it's directed by Drew Barrymore? Sounds good to me.

In other, unrelated news: two really cute Loli things!

Baby's Vampire Requiem. Omg, in lavenderrrrr. It doesn't go with my wardrobe, but it's just so pretty!

AP Hello Kitty Collab! I don't love it, so I'm not going to buy it, but it's a lot better than Baby's.

I also can't decide if I like the Friend Usakumya Lillian skirt. I like the yellow and the white, but is it too little kid-ish? I struggle sometimes with the fine line between "child-like" and "child-ish". What do y'all think?

+ Fanime! I totally did not realize it's like weekend after next until people were talking about it at the SF meet this weekend. I'm so excited! I love cons. I'm not cosplaying this year, but seeing everyone's costumes tends to get me excited enough to make something for AX.

+ Candy Violet's Atelier line! Omfg, Vivcore is finally making some of her beautiful period Lolita pieces for public concsumption and, dude, I neeeeeed one. Need.

+ Star Trek! It was amazing. Go see it. There's nothing else I can say.

+ ( The Princess and the Frog! )Omg. Omg. New actual animated Disney movie. OMG.

I went home this weekend. It made me wish I could go home more, but with how busy this quarter is? That is unlikely, unfortunately. Going home this weekend really wasn't a good idea...I have three midterms this week.

Also saw Coraline this weekend. It was absolutely lovely and I recommend it to everyone. Joel wants to name one of our daughters Coraline now. As long as I still get to have Zoey Antoinette, that's fine with me.

Off to make lunch...I'm trying to actually cook instead of eating out for practically every meal. Right now I'm making tuna onigiri with the Hello Kitty molds! I just wish I had bought the Hello Kitty seaweed...they they would actually look like Hello Kitty. Like this.

( I made a impulse buy... )

In other news, I don't have a lot of homework right now and I don't know what to do with myself. It's too early to get started on my final paper, Japanese has gotten weirdly easy, and Alan is going easy on with the reading this week. Hmmmm.

Saw Prince Caspian. It was good, a bit long, but good and Ben Barnes is hot. Indiana Jones on Wednesday!!

I am very very hungry.

I've been on the desk for FOUR HOURS. Mostly looking at Lolita stuff that I can never afford enough of, and therefore depressing myself.

Cloverfield at the drive in during a storm was the most amazing experience of my life.

I want to go home and I want Joel to spontaneously be there. We had a crappy weekend, as we always do when I go home, so I want him to be here so we can make up for it cuz we always do.

I need moneys. Blah.

I'm watching the Tin Man! Zooey is in it! Kym's first comment: "You do look like her". Lol.

I'm also drinking bad cherry limeade and trying to do Japanese homework. All these things at once are not easy to do.

Golden Compass comes out Friday!

I am SO bored. I have been sitting in the library waiting for Courtney to get out of class/Elena to get off work for FOUR HOURS. ALL ALONE. AHHHHH.

In other news, I am on the last level of super princess peach, so that's pretty cool. I gonna buy Pokemon diamond or pearl (I haven't decided which yet) soon, as soon as I finish Peach. It's such a funny game...like, the deal is that Mario got kidnapped this time and Peach has to save him, right? So it seems almost feminist-y and nifty. Well, it is nifty, but feminist-y? Peach's powers are a parasol and her EMOTIONS. She can drown things, literally, with her tears. It's uproariously funny.

Hopefully tonight we shall see either Hairspray or Becoming Jane. I heard the latter was sad, so I dunno if I'm in the mood for sadness.

This is SO BORING. I guess I'll go back to reading my Japanese textbook...

I'm starting to re-read the Harry Potter books and re-watch the movies. I just finished book one (in one day! I forgot what quick reads they were), and even though it was a little boring (mostly because I've read it so many times and everything is so basic to the canon), it reminded why I love the series so much. It's funny, because when my brother was reading the books when he was in elementary school, I refused to because I was in junior high and those were kid's books! But then my eighth grade English teacher read somr of Goblet of Fire aloud to the class and I decided I needed to see what this Harry Potter nonsense was all about. And then I read all four books in about five days, I believe. I didn't really get into the fandom until senior year of high school, but I've figured out why that is and why I'm not really that into this particular fandom: I'm in love with the world of Harry Potter, as opposed to the characters or even the story. Don't get me wrong, I love the characters and the story, but it's not the sort of thing I get fangirly over. But the world he lives in? Omg. And that's why I started getting fangirly after I discovered that hogwartsishome comm I was in; it put me in the HP world, even if it was just on the internet. It was more about the houses and being a Ravenclaw and earning points and money and trying to become an animagus. And that's the cool stuff.

That was a really long entry about Harry Potter. The book just made me happy. :)

PS Transformers was awesome.
