News from the deep.
Stuck at home today since I woke up with the horrifying monthly sickness that plagues women everywhere, and thus spent several hours feverish and wanting to kill myself wrapped around my water bottle in the bottom of a hot shower like something out of a bad tragi-romance except sans the romance.
So I spent the rest of the afternoon watching TOP GEAR! Which has finally returned, my favourite show in the entire world, YES more than I love Merlin, YES more than I love Stargate. Nothing compares to Top Gear in terms of pure joy for minute of TV.
For example my little gear head heart fluttered wildly when they UNVEILED THE STIG and I was all OMGOMGOMG. And was seriously part of that entire audience of people who looked like they creamed their pants because MICHAEL SCHUMACHER IS THE STIG!??!! Of course he isn't he just owns the FXX car, but for a wild, tiny moment my world exploded from OMGWTFAWESOME.
And then I got to episode two, and it was like TOP GEAR can READ MY MIND because what would make Alita the happiest person in the entire world when she is at her lowest? HAVING STEPHEN MOTHERFUCKING FRY who is more GQ than anyone in the entire planet driving an ordinary priced car and sit, bantering about gay cruising with JEREMY CLARKSON. My illogical OTP of British television guys, IT WAS FULFILLED. Jeremy's FACE when Stephen told him what that Iphone application DID! It was amazing. As was Stephen sex noises in that car. I was both embarrased for him and crazy turned on. STEPHEN FRYYYY.
I love that show to bits. If it were ever cancelled I just don't know what I would do with myself. Start a memorial group with 40 year old men commisserating the happy years of our life when it was on I suppose.
In other news, cattypatra and tsubakichan YOU GUYS BETTER BE GOING TO SEE THE GIGANTIC GUNDAM IN TOKYO!
ITS SO CRAZY AMAZING. I bet Japan are hiding their weapons of mass destruction in plain sight. I want photos of you two and Kenny in front, and will be severly disappointed if you guys fail me in this venture.
Supanova was good this year, though not as fun as Mini-Animania, simply because I didn't get the chance to you know... sleep. Mini I was well rested and high tension all weekend. By the end of Supanova, both myself and arlo_arleh felt like a truck had run us over. We're both incredibly proud of our costumes this time around (since we literally spent 72 straight hours of no sleep pouring ourselves into it) especially Arleh's awesome articulated wings. My camera was acting up so we didn't get to photo as much as usual. Meaning we might actually have to you know, go out and get a photoshoot done instead of just doing them at conventions.
Cosplay has really stepped up people's game again this year. I don't know how much bigger costumes can GET to top how far people in our little community have come. Soon we'll like those insane people in America who mod their bikes to look like Cloud's bike and then explode from the back of a truck on their bike in cosplay with gigantic swords of their back. (I kind of wish I had the money to do this... or that I had the ability to ride a bike in general as I can't even keep my balance on a bicycle).
Let's keep up our ingenuity as a group people for the future!
That said, we are totally doing something UTTERLY STUPID AND FUN and where we get lots of sleep for Smash.
PICTURES ARE COMING. Need to collect some off my friend so I can post since he had the Good Camera and most of my pics turned out hilariously and artistically blurry.
