Now that I've got lots of free time to wallow in my own misery I thought, hey, why not wallow in a fictional character's misery? So I've been watching/reading a lot of Phantom of the Opera goodness. I thought I'd share some funny/interesting vids/pics I've found and yakk a bit about my thoughts on the shows here. :)

( Hours and hours of phantomy goodness! )

It's been a while but I finally got around to post the bunch of pics I took on Saturday. Here they are. Boy, looking at these, you'd think Saturday was puppies and rainbows for me! It was actually rabid wolves and poison gas clouds but what can you do.

Back from Comic-Con but that night I had to come home to watch Spirited! This convention is so cool I shouldn't really say bad things about it, but... it's not really about comics anymore, is it? I mean, I remember when it was about comic books and it definitely wasn't like this. Plus, there's so much people even during Preview Night, it's just ( Read more... )

Ages after the fact, I finally decided to stop neglecting LJ and post the rest of my Comic-con experience just to have something a little more interesting than just a bunch of random pics in my HDD. Friday, Saturday and Sunday all blurred together by now, though.

This here is one of the bubble people floating gently in the breeze that I mentioned ( Read more... )

I'm kind of tired right now and I'm still gonna attempt to make a T-shirt after I post this so I'll try to be brief this time. I took even less useless pictures than yesterday, so I'll post them later this week.  Anyway, saw the cast from the following upcoming movies today at the Sony panel: RED, Salt, and Battle: Los Angeles. Was under the same ( Read more... )

Back from SDCC... same old same old in some aspects. I AM INSANELY UPSET THAT I DID NOT GET A BIG BANG THEORY BAG!!!11 Got a Brightest Day bag instead. Somewhere else in the universe, another soul despairs that they got BBT instead of BD. But such is life.

The highlight of the evening for me was the Walking Dead booth. As I've said before, I'm ( Read more... )

THE HOBBIT. I hope it's getting made soon, because Sir Ian McKellen is awesome but unlike Gandalf not nigh-immortal. Sure, he waits for Godot now, but as we all know Godot never shows up because he got invited to judge a wet T-shirt contest on the way over. I like PJ way better than GDT, who is no longer directing the hypothetical film, but that's ( Read more... )

MAJOR WTFuckery going on.

SPIDEY REMAKE. Hey, remember way back in the day when Tobey Maguire played Spidey? Remember back when you were still young, and wasted a few bucks on the midnight showing of that sh*tstorm, Spidey 3? OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN! People are getting nostalgic for those good old days, so they are REBOOTING THE FRANCHISE. I repeat. I ( Read more... )

What makes a fangirl a fangirl? And what are the most significant differences between fangirls and fanboys, aside from the obvious chromosome thing? Going from the also obvious common ground, which is obsession, the next question is, who obsesses over what? I kind of wanted to make this a sort of essay commenting on my observations of fandom, using ( Read more... )

So right now I'm at a city considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Admittedly I don't travel much, but OMG it's amazing.

It's my last day here, and I've been writing stupid little poems on postcards that I plan to mail to my friends today.

I don't know what to think. The city is beautiful and the event was fantastic... it made me feel normal, ( Read more... )
