I hate my life. It's all the worst parts of college (schoolwork, stress), with none of the good parts (friends, freedom to be myself, being in love). I hate my classes, I love my parents but I frequently don't like them very much and sometimes outright hate them, I hate having to conform to so many expectations to keep things going smoothly, I ( Read more... ) -

I keep seeing trailers for some movie called The Lucky One on TV. Apparently it's about this guy who finds a picture of a girl and falls in love with her while he's doing a tour of duty in the Middle East, and then when he gets back to the States goes and finds her and she falls for him and happily ever after...
...and all I can think is that is so ( Read more... ) -
Oh hey there Bleach, you're still going?
Apparently the cast of Bleach has gotten an attractiveness upgrade while I wasn't paying any attention. Among other things Kubo Tite has stopped drawing people's mouths quite so disproportionately wide. Faces in general are just looking much more naturally proportioned and less awkwardly stylized. Ichigo's actually looking kind of hot. Now if ( Read more... ) -

I want to write Shinsengumi!Japan/America, and cyberpunk America/Japan, and so many things. -
Not another social networking site! Noooes.
So I am apparently terrible at this whole Tumblr thing? It's so confusing, reblogs and weird comment hierarchies and everything, why does all the cool stuff have to be there where I can't find it ;_;
*flails*
Also it doesn't work with Digsby so I forget I have it. -
Oh, the humanity
It's kind of horribly depressing to run across someone trying to argue a literal interpretation of Genesis, start to read what seems like a reasonable argument in opposition, only for it to degenerate into ranting about the Evils of Corn Syrup. Shut up, you're both stupid, I thought the commenters here were smart. (I at least know better than to ( Read more... ) -
Embracing Defeat by John Dower
So, it's a new year and my self-imposed one year hiatus from Hetalia fandom is over. In the meantime, I've been reading Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of WWII by John Dowell, so that I could get a better grasp on the history for my big post-WWII America/Japan fic.

If you haven't seen Bunraku yet, go do it! I just watched it and it is absolutely gorgeous and playfully self-aware. Light on plot, perhaps, but a complex plot would have just gotten lost in the lush art. Bunraku knows its tropes and uses them, with samurai, cowboys, a blind swordsman, everything you could ask for. Gackt was every bit as drool- ( Read more... ) -

I am now passive-aggressively ignoring my ex in my dreams. It's a bit amusing to realize that she's appearing in my dreams just for me to blatantly ignore. I suppose that's progress ( Read more... ) -
