Daaaayumm. Rule # 2- "Double Tap"
Hey there, all. It's been another long time.
Part of this was for jewelry festival season. I did pretty well this year, and, strangely enough, I've no complaints. No one was rude to me. Well, someone did say something rude, but it wasn't the much-hated "it's too expensive". Somehow, I remember that it was really insulting, but I can't remember the exact words. Meh. No use dwelling on it now or trying to rememember. I still have a few projects I need to do, but right now, I wanna take them slow.
In the thick of Scarecrow fest (The last full week of September), my uncle Mike had a stroke. He's doing better now. I've not seen him yet, but My parents assure me that he's doing better. Next time they go up, I'm going. Mom and Dad told me I should wait until he's awake to see him.
Tina asked me how apartment life was going. In a word, busy! I don't know how people manage to have their own places and hold down a job at once!!! Cleaning, Garbage, cooking, dishes, shopping, wow. Now, I clean my parents' house once a week, but I don't care for a pet or shop at their place. I've spent the greater part of a day just cooking a meal. (Well, it probably wouldn't have taken so long if I wasn't such a picky-ass when it comes to food.) Spaking of food, it turns out, I've actually eaten a schnitzel, 3 years in a row! They have these giant pork tenderloin sandwiches at Scarecrow fest, super-thin and battered. I looked at the sign this year that proudly proclaimed "schnitzel-style". D'oh. What probably threw me is that the place is famous for tempura battered sweet potato and onion fries and Korean chicken, and is, in fact, a Korean barbecue. I was completely blinded by nationality, here. What a schnit-head, LOL.
I have seen two very good movies recently: Perfect Creature and Zombieland. Perfect Creature is one of the most interesting, downright innovative vampire movies I've ever seen. The lead is all-right looking, but if you're searching for eye-candy, this ain't Twilight. (Not that I ever really saw Pattinson as eye-candy, except maybe as Cedric Diggory. He looked so much healthier back then. And, well, this Lautner kid, I saw him in a preview to New Moon-impressive body, not so sure about the face. His wolf-form, though obv CG, was beautifully done, though.) Perfect Creature is something like a steampunk vampire movie, set in a world in which alchemy had as much pull as science, and vampires were actually humanity's protectors, allied with a church. They weren't undead; they were a sex-linked genetic mutation: all male. One of them goes rogue for a reason unknown at the beginning, and the lead has to make his way through this techno-Dickensian world to find him. Highly unusual. Zombieland is a fucking hoot; a romp through "How to Survive the Zombie Apocolypse". There's blood, sure, but very few really graphic moments, come to think. Like, someone will hit a zombie with a baseball bat; you don't see the impact, just the blood splat. Plus, you've gotta love a movie that starts out with people running in slo-mo from zombies to Metallica, and zombie hunters invading Bill Murray's house. Brilly brill. See eeet, if you don't mind the splats.
I've been writing a bit, but I can't say I'm all that interested in fanfic right now. I should unsub from my MCR slash comm. I don't care about frerard at all, and only occasionally read anything. Since
shadow_hive stopped doing MCR fic, I can't say I've been sparked. I'm kinda "meh" when it comes to music now. Def Leppard have been fraternizing with country music, pleeeeh, leaving MCR as my favorite band; though I haven't listened to them in a dog's age. I still maintain I'll be more Hitman when the new album comes out. (Though Mikey's tweets still amuse me sometimes.)
So, flist, whazzup with you?
