I AM SUCH AN IDIOT. So I've been obviously flipping out about elves and Lord of the Rings and Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy lately, but NOW I UNDERSTAND. Since New Line had a problem with Peter Jackson, he was bumped to Producer of the new Hobbit movies (yes, there's two), and GUILLERMO DEL TORO IS THE NEW DIRECTOR. A few months ago that name meant ( Read more... )

Yo, you know how I was flipping out about the Hellboy 2 trailer and saying that the main bad guys look like some vampiric version of the elves from Lord of the Rings? I went and did research and... they are elves. .___.; *FAILS* I love the design of them, they look strangely similar to the LOTR elves but are just as beautiful in their own way. Or ( Read more... )

So, in light of my most recent spiral into the black hole that is the Lord of the Rings fandom (don't worry, this happens to me all the time), I was trying to pull together what I remember reading from Silmarillion (the history of the elves) and various google sites about the relationship between major elves in the trilogy and The Hobbit. So, here ( Read more... )

Spent nine utterly painful hours staring into a microscope today and am expected to continue doing so all week (because my professor wants results and apparently my project is far more important than I thought it was << >>; ). Probably plucked out approximately 4,000 Drosophila embryos while suffering from a minor headache from the microscope and ( Read more... )

In honor of a weekend that's going to majorly SUCK with homework, here's another icon batch I made with some random Lord of the Rings and Devil May Cry shots. For some reason, I lost my ability to deal with pretty LOTR screenshots so they're kind of random and simple. The DMC ones were really fun to do though 'cause they're so shiny and bombastic ( Read more... )

Ugh, crap, I shouldn't have put off writing all this in one post.

First off, I'll be gone until the 16th, so I'll see you all when I get back! :D (Obviously, I won't be able to IM or respond to emails until then.) For anyone living in Europe, I wish I had time to arrange a meeting with you, but I'm only stay for a day or two in most places so I ( Read more... )

Ratatouille was soooooo cute! <333 Not as funny as I expected, but the plot and the speed and the animation is just GREAT. Rats are going on my top list of painfully cute animals now. (Don't get me wrong though, the movie did have its funny moments. It wouldn't be Pixar if it didn't. ^^)

Strangely enough, my brother got VIP tickets to see the fifth ( Read more... )

Wish I could say something more meaningful, but I'll settle for just saying Happy July 4th!! :3

Onward ho to completely pointless updates... XD

I'm feeling extremely weird right now without my little brother at home. He's been at summer camp for the last two weeks and the house is just so QUIET. I don't think I've ever missed him as much as I do now ( Read more... )
