IRL IN REVIEW
My life is basically now on autopilot from here to the grave with nothing of interest happening in between so I might as well deal with it. MOST TERRIBLY EXCITING THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO ME AFTER COMIC-CON:
1. Conan back. WELL THAT WAS AMAZING... for like three seconds, and then my Internet connection crapped out on me because it loves being super slow, and I don't get TBS and I can't watch Conan online so Conan is officially dead to me now. BALLS.
2. Haunted Trail. I'd never been to one of these things but it was pretty cool. Lots of fun. I went with my best friend, whom we shall call Frank because that's basically his name (protagonist of the j/k marriage proposal) and a bunch of friends of his. The funniest most horrendous part was the Freddy bus. Also worth mentioning was the Eyes Wide Closed-ish section, and perhaps the slaughterhouse because of the animal sounds. And at the end some guy chases you with a chainsaw! :D But the best part was the constant, never-ending, hilariously girly screams coming from one of Frank's friends, a guy called Mark who ZOMFG looks a lot like a younger John Barrowman. Couldn't take my eyes off him because of the resemblance, and I'm afraid he noticed. He probably thought: "Bitch thinks I'm hot" but what he failed to realize is that I didn't want to get anywhere near his very gay pants, but was simply in fangirl mode with sparks in my huge anime eyes thinking: "Future Face of Boooee!"
3. Sherlock. Damn, Stephen Moffat has once again seduced me with his awesomesauce expect-the-unexpected writing wiles! And that cliffhanger! Bring in the next episode! :D D: What was that? I have to wait over a year to find out what happens?? And in the meantime there's only slash on the Internets?? WHAT
4. Megamind. This movie is like, a million times better than I thought it would be and I freaking love it. Not only was it hilarious but hey, the intrepid, snarky reporter ends up with the bald misunderstood supervillain with the heart of gold! Maybe I can finally start getting over this!
5. Doggie accident. So, my dog (accidentally) tried to kill herself by jumping out the window of my moving car. Luckily she survived, but her left femur was completely shattered. One whole paycheck and a half and a surgery later she's still limping a bit, but now she's basically on doggie welfare so on the plus side she's totally living the good life.
6. My birthday! :D :D :D Frank actually threw a surprise party for me! I never had a surprise party before! And he got me the coolest presents ever! Seriously, I know he'd find it really annoying if I said it to him (he finds fandom as embarrassing as jailtime), but I think of him as my own personal Doctor. He's just the most excellent guy I know. I'm not quite sure why he still hangs out with me, but it makes me feel like maybe I don't suck completely. He's not particularly Doctor-like, though he is kind of zany. But where the inside of the Doctor's head is like a bunch of mad geniuses on a rollercoaster all going "Wheeeee!", Frank's mind is more like a gaggle of hipster gay guys having a soiree and chatting casually about Frida Kahlo, their travels to Europe and the latest soaps... all before going "Wheeeee!". FACT.
Frank's message is clear: "I'll put up with your fandom BS but for God's sake, BE A GIRL."
7. Trip. I guess it was cool and I got to know places, but if it sucks feeling lonely on your own, it sucks ten times harder feeling lonely on vacation with a bunch of friends. They're all just a bunch of Woo Girls (TM HIMYM), where I'm 93% fangirl. I look so awkward hanging out with them when they're all wearing pretty little dresses and I'm wearing wide leg jeans and geeky t-shirts. And also now I can't help but look like crap less good compared to them, because I've gained like 15 pounds in the last eight months. WOES.
Hanging out with them for days and days is also really weird because I hadn't noticed they're kind of walking mean girl stereotypes: insane love for shoes, want you to read their minds, say one thing but mean another, bitch about what other girls are wearing, use guys to get free rides and meals... Makes me wonder why we hang out together, but I've noticed that apparently they think my having a vagina means that I automatically understand/approve everything they say/do, so I just have to smile and nod politely even when I'm all WTF inside. Finally, I'm glad the trip is over because about 90% of the music they love I HATE WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUPERNOVAE.
This is the place I visited. As usual it looked better in person. You can't see the streets because I cropped them but this city is actually inhabited by purple Oompa Loompas with fairy wings that come out of their butts... you'll have to trust me on this. Which you'll have no problem doing because you are IMAGINARY.
So apparently this hot lady here was a real firecracker in her day a million years ago. She had something to do with founding this city, whose name was originally something Arabic that got deformed because dumb people couldn't pronounce it or something.
There aren't a lot of churches that look like Sleeping Beauty's castle where I live, so dammit I took a picture of it.
Yay Sleeping Beauty! Wow, girly moment for me here. Frank would be thrilled. Let's just focus on the Gothic architecture dating from the XVI century, the elegant simplicity of which actually underscores the architects' intent to evoke a communion with heaven and the poet's gentle soul.
SO PRETTY
This picture looks stupid at first but if you think about it for a minute it speaks to you about the nature of time in relation to rational thought through the ages and ho ho I'm just kidding, it's just plan stupid.
I am approximately 86% certain that Davros had a hand in this in some way or another. Dabbled a little in the plastic arts before going all out evil overlord, kept some design ideas. Good times.
