Off to the races, laces, leather on my waist is tight and I'm falling down
This is going to be one of the usual complete and utter pointless posts all over the place.
First of all, I really, really need to reiterate just how fantastic Nino's hair was in the ONE concert. Now with that out of the way, I've been bedridden all day today because I pulled something in my lower back yesterday while I tried to hold a panicked horse steady. I was supposed to go to class today but when I woke up, it was the time that class started, and it was just as well seeing as I'm in pain just lying down, so. Yeah.
I stayed up all night Sunday night to watch Grammys and let's all bow down to Adele, perfect Queen, oh my, I teared up at her perfect sweep and then got shivers at her performance, oh gods, her voice is back and it is as stunning as always. Welcome back, my Queen!
And now we're at the Grammy talk - I have Feelings to talk about. It's about Whitney Houston and it's probably going to be a very unpopular opinion, but I am extremely annoyed by everything about it. Yes, it's extremely tragic, it always is when people die before their time. But people are behaving as if she was their best friend - a lot of the people haven't been thinking about her in a long time, because, let's face it, she hasn't put out anything truly great since, what, 1996? Then she dies and everyone suddenly mourns as if she's been on the forefront of everyone's minds every single day for the last ten years. I can't deal with that, seriously, it was a bit of the same with Michael Jackson, because his last album, Invincible, was nothing to write about. Oooooh, so many feelings. I'm not saying people aren't allowed to mourn, not at all, I'm just annoyed. /end rant.
Also, my brother has moved to Frankfurt, but so far I've skyped with him so often that it doesn't feel like he's away. Still weird, somehow.
I've played a truly ridiculous (and possibly hazardous) amount of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, because I was stupid enough to buy it for my iPod. I barely managed to put the DS down the first time around, and lksdjshdjsbdsjhcsjk it's still just so. damn. awesome and I love it, all the ridiculousless of it. I still just guffaw and laugh uncontrollably (and cringe and curl my toes in embarrassment) when he goes to cross-examine the parrot. I just can't. And Edgeworth ;;__;;. And Von Karma still makes me shiver from his evil, evil ways. When he shouts "Objection!" I want to curl up somewhere safe because he's just so mean ;;__;; I still never see the end of Case 4 coming, holy fuck.
...I think I saw a Phoenix cosplayer at last year's con, huh.
I literally can't wait for tonight's Glee, I think that the Berry family is going to save Glee for me. That and Kurt singing Love Shack. Besides that I've largely avoided spoilers for this ep, I just heard that there's going to be a large amount of Sugar Motta, which I greatly approve of. Oh right, the other Glee Project guy is going to be in this ep, huh? I already like him loads better than Rory and I've seen approximately 10 seconds of Stereo Hearts. This ep is going to be awesome.
And speaking of Glee, I have a plot rummaging around in my head, dammit, get out.
I'm still writing the Juntoshi fic, I had broken the 14,000+ words, but then I deleted 2,000 of them because uuuuurgh the frustration. I better wrap it up in a timely fashion, we all know how wordy I tend to be, oh lordy. I've also, wonder of wonders, poked a bit around in Vision Composition, after two years. I might even write a bit, THE SHOCKER. Yeah I don't know either.
Lastly, I've been listening to Lana Del Rey's album to a worrying degree and I am completely sold on her. Off To The Races is just skdjksjhfs so brilliant. LISTEN, YOU LOT.
