| Explicatio I'm delving into the somewhat experimental here - this is my first attempt at a somewhat new layout, and I'm also using an actual photograph for the first time. That's Lucius Malfoy from the recent movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, as played wonderfully by Jason Isaacs. Lucius may be a total slimeball, but he's also clever and manipulative, which earns my respect. The title of this layout is in Latin and means, more or less, "cunning serpent". Isaacs really brought Lucius to life, in my opinion. The snake-head staff was a wonderfully phallic prop. (Was it intended to be phallic? I have no idea. But it was.)

Blargh.
I should really go back to the one island and kill some Vadons and get their nippers. They're worth 50z, and they drop them all the time. They also occasionally drop Padded Armor, which can be sold for 24,000z! I've only ever gotten two, though. (And I equipped one on myself. I had still been running around in and Adventurer's Suit ^_^*).
I don't really have much to save up my zeny for now. I got a manteau, boots, and even a rosary. Plus my precious sunglasses. I want a truly cool hat, eventually. I've seen a handful of people with, like, wings on their head. That's awesome. Or one of those pointy straw hats I can't figure out how to get. Bah, listen to me babbling about Ragnarok. It is a true mark of boredom.
Oh yes, expect a new layout soon. I started working on it last night. It's going to be ridiculously wide again, I'm afraid. The picture was all big and pretty and colorful - I just can't bring myself to make it small. ^_^* Sigh, I killed like a total of two minutes typing all of this. -_- I should do some story-writing or something. If only I had something to HTML! ...hey, do these computers have photo editors? Maybe I could make a web site or something. About something. But I don't know what. ^_^* Search referral time, whee
I love search referrals. ^_^
Do the happy-dance rhumba!
Also, I really want the soundtrack to the series just so I can get Clive-sensei's Porn Sax music. ^_^* I have what you want!
But I DO have access to FIVE WHOLE ANSEM SCREENSHOTS! And you can find them at Return to Darkness courtesy of my friend Patches. It ain't much, but it's something. Title Goes Here
In other news, last night I dreamt I opened a restaurant with my brother. We served tacos, only the day we opened we didn't actually have any food in the kitchen. "Didn't you order the food??" I asked him, and he said, "I thought you did!" It was pretty amusing, although I have no idea what it meant.
I should make a new layout. Maybe one that isn't five billion pixels wide. ^_^* Sorry, Lucius! It's not that I don't love you!
Man, I blog a lot more during school, don't I? I reread my archives awhile ago and laughed at how much I was bitching about CS 105. Hm... I still have to test out of that... Sigh. Only 40 more minutes before my psychology class, which is in Wood and thus about 5 minutes away. I think I'll head out at quarter after though, so I will be sure to find it and get a seat and everything. I have no idea what to expect from that class, but it's only PSY 100 so it shouldn't be too bad. Better than Biology. I'm too darn squeamish ^_^* Yoyo. Happy Yukito Day!
Cardcaptor Sakura: The Movie
Wow, that's a lot of stuff when I list it all, isn't it? And I KNOW I'm forgetting some things, I always do. Now today is a day of resting, cleaning up, probably playing Ragnarok, and scheming about how to kidnap Kathleen.
I think I do want to have his children.
Let's go see CoS again when we get the chance, okay, Kathleen? Errrrrgh.
In other words, The Two Towers was not worth the money I - oh wait, it was free. Um. Thinking about Aragorn and Legolas having sex was pleasant enough. Also laughing when that one orc went running to light the gunpowder with his torch. "It's the Olympics!", I thought to myself, and giggled so hard I had to hide in my coat to muffle it.
I am never ever watching that movie again. "All I could ever see was Rezo's back, and I cursed my creation as a Copy of him. I lived only to surpass him.....
The movie was actually pretty "blah". It had an awesome premise (albeit one that was SO VERY SLAYERS) but then in the end, well... the last battle was just an "I have to fight you so whoops you're impaled on this thingy now and huh now you're dead so much for an emotional death scene" type of thing, followed by a "Let's pull a Star Trek II!". (I just spoiled the end, but only if you can figure out what the hell I'm talking about. ^_^*)
The movie gets props for making me invision Patrick Stewart naked, although we never actually got to see it. Drat.
Also, I had a hilarious Star Wars dream last night. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan were in it holding hands. It was cute. More on that later. Time to check search referrals!
Why do I get so many people searching for Kimahri yaoi? How many people WANT Kimahri yaoi? Are these the same people who want naked pictures of Hermione? Hmmm.
Relationships and stupid things
Or I could just start sleeping with Giles, like in that dream I had last night. Hm. Sounds like a plan. Now I just have to figure out how to accomplish it. (I was in high school in that dream. It's been so long since I've dreamt about being in high school! I think I was also 17 in it. Hmm. That's, like, statutory rape. ^_^* But there wasn't any actual sex IN the dream, it was just mentioned/thought about.) The most wonderful time of the year? Sure.
I HATE SNOW.
I especially hate when it comes out of nowhere and you wake up in the morning and there's like six inches on the ground and there wasn't any the day before. = /
Other than the snow, the weekend was fun. Kathleen came. We watched four episodes of Cardcaptor Sakura, seven of Hale Nochi Guu, two of Jubei-chan, four of Buffy, and three of Real Bout High School. Plus some random Fruits Basket bits and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in the theater. Watching the movie with someone who is actually a big HP fan was a new experience for me, and a lot of fun. Especially since she seems to understand my feelings for Lucius fully. ("Ooh! He's DISHEVELED!"). Also, she loved his hair.
Now I really should be writing poems. Hmmm. More
Oh, one more thing. I apologize to everyone who cannot see my whole layout. I know, it's really huge. But it looks fine on my computer. ^_^* The bit of Slytherin in me says that's all that matters, and that's the part of me that made the layout in the first place. Gah.
In other news, I have this friend. I have been friends with her for a while. And she is one of the most egotistical and hypocritical people I know. She's always complaining about other people's egos and then talking about how much better she is than them. Drives me crazy. It reminds me a bit of Knives from Trigun, because of course everything can relate to anime. You know, how he rants about how humans are horrible in their egotism and he's much better than they are... Gah. I need to meet some new people.
And in more news, the Zasshi is done and it looks great. I hope Sarah and Matt know how much I appreciate their hard work. Because I do. ^_^ Thanks, guys. The good, the bad, and the crap (wow, I feel like I'm quoting Strong Bad, but I'm not...)
Went to bed at approximately 2 a.m. Woke up at approximately 8 a.m. to take brother to school. Ugh. But hey, it's not like it's something I have to do all the time. Even though I was incredibly tired and fell instantly asleep in my clothes when I got home, no big deal.
Watched more Hale Nochi Guu. I've seen through episode 24 of it and it's well on its way to becoming one of my favorite shows ever - I just hope it has a good ending. Today brought me fanservice. I'm not used to being handed fanservice in non-yaoi anime, but in ep. 24 Clive-sensei, my favorite character (attractive, perverted, but somehow so sweet at times) took a shower for no real reason. There was a nice pan-up of him from the back, starting veeery low on his hips. It was nice. ^_^*
Read more Narcissus in Chains. Much Richard-bashing makes me happy, even if the book is making me sad. Anita has all these men! And she's a bitch! Maybe I should start being a bitch and then hot guys will be all over me, too. And then I could cuddle with wereleopards. That'd be nice.
But that was about the end of the good things that happened today. (Well, dinner was good. Chinese. Mm.) Because today I went to play some Capcom vs. SNK to kill some time before we left to eat and discovered that every single one of our Dreamcast games was missing from its case. Also missing were all the other games that had been in front of the TV, meaning two Tomb Raiders and - here's the real blow - Final Fantasies VII, VIII, and X. Turns out some fuckhead "friend" of my brother's stole them weeks ago, but I never noticed because I've only been playing Kingdom Hearts. I went for a few hours so pissed off I was half in tears. I wanted to yell at my brother for being a total idiot, but I couldn't get words out. I'm over the worst of it now, although still incredibly pissed off that I've lost three Final Fantasies, all of which I bought WITH MY OWN MONEY. Gaaaah. I can't think about it any more. So I will just leave this with Lucius and sit here wondering where Kathleen is. I want to babble about Richard being a dumbass some more. Blarrrrgh.
And speaking of which, today I decided to go get my passport taken care of. I decided to just skip my Brit Lit class (again) because I haven't done the reading yet. ^_^* So I feel bad about that, but I go to the post office, which I have the entertaining task of finding. It was a pain, but I finally got there and figured out where I was supposed to park. Then I walked in, stood there a second, and realized I had left my photos in the car. So I went and grabbed the pictures. And left my keys lying on top of my CD case. With the door locked, of course.
Well, I went and filled out the passport stuff, and then had to call my mom and ask her to bring me my spare keys. So I not only felt incredibly stupid, but I had to inconvenience her. I feel bad = / And it was very annoying. But at least that's something taken care of.
I really, really need a holiday job, but as time passes it becomes less and less likely that I'll get one. Neither Target or Kohl's called me back. People always tell me that it's really easy to find seasonal jobs and everybody is hiring, but it doesn't seem that way to me. ^_^* Then again, I'm not very good at jobhunting, seeing as how the only job I have ever applied for in my life is the library one, which I still have. I'm stuck in a rut, I think. Oh well. Yeah!
You better believe it! New layout |
