[ten things for a lazy sunday]

Oct 07, 2007 19:51

Aaaaaand it's Sunday. Again. What the FUCK. At least tomorrow's Columbus Day, so I get a day off work, though not class, since I go to a private school and all. x_x But to console myself, I am thinking about the following things:

1. The new PoT OVAs. Oh GOD. The first one is just ridiculous, as it was in the manga, but the second one made me bawl. And is it just me, or is the animation this time around not very good? The previews for the Tezuka-Chitose match looked much better than what was in this one - if it was just the MomoKai match, I might have thought it was deliberate to make it look extra-silly, but the Taka match was just as odd, and it made me sad because that match is so intense and so good. It still made me choked up though, and the flashback to ickle!Taka? WAH. And when Seigaku was there to catch him, and then AKUTSU CAUGHT HIM FIREMAN-STYLE, just.....*_____* Really, if that's not an OTP, I don't know what is.

2. The new Okane ga Nai ova. Gion was even better in the OVA than he was in the drama CDs - naturally, as Okiayu-san is amazing - and it was awesome to see badass!Kanou again. Oh, Kanou ♥ How I have missed you.

3. DL4. I finally watched it, and I think I just about died of glee at Depend on Me, and the group songs were all amazing, and wah I'm going to miss all the other schools! :((( WHERE ARE YOU, RIKKAI SECOND SERVICE?

4. The Death Note live-action movies. I'm about halfway through the first one right now and I'm already in love and not just because Sota is adorable in it.

5. The monster Tezuka/Fuji fic. I'd hoped to have it done for Tezuka's birthday, but it's turning into a massive exercise in rewriting, so looks like it'll be awhile yet. x_x Damn Tezuka's perplexing psyche.

6. The JET program. I went to a meeting on Friday at school, since I'd been thinking about taking time off school after this degree finishes and going abroad to teach for awhile, and it sounds AMAZING. I never had a chance to study abroad in college, since I was double majoring and double minoring and so couldn't take any time off, so the chance to go abroad to teach, which I am currently LOVING doing ANYWAY, is like...perfect. Does anyone have any experience with the JET program that they'd like to tell me about, either first-hand or by knowing someone who's done it? Conversely, does anyone have any suggestions of prefectures I should request (aside from Tokyo and Kyoto, that is)?

7. RPF. *headdesk* I have been sucked back in. For now, I'm resisting the urge to write any of my own. For now.

8. Itsuka no Kimi. God. The Navigate DVD was the cutest thing I have EVER seen and much needed after the misery I suffered thanks to Boys Love, and I cannot WAIT for the movie. I may actually have to buy the DVD, if I can figure out how to play it.

9. Empire of Ivory. naominovik's new book = WIN. I've only just thumbed through it, since I really want to reread the first three before starting the fourth, but it ALREADY looks amazing. *___*

10. Kanji. Yes, it scares the shit out of me. No, that's not stopping me.

Homework fits in there somewhere, I swear. >.>

ETA: From grrliz: WB says no to women in the lead. Apparently because their last couple movies that had female leads were box office bombs, women should not be allowed to have leading roles? I just.......there are no words. None. At. All.
