/camps out on anime streaming sites until Sunday, when 3 goes up

EDIT: Star Driver icon! :D

elementalhero: NO PANTS (ξanimorphs | irrational behavior)
I freaked out last night when I found out that RAF took down all their Animorphs e-book downloads, since I only had up to #23 and I wanted to canon review this weekend for an RP muse, but then I found an alternative forum site where they were all available for download! I had to flash back to my middle school days and post on the board five times in order to get permission to the links, but it was worth it. I have them all in .PDF and a backup set in .TXT now. It's days like these that I effing love the internet.

At home now, chillaxing with the fam and doing my paper on the Bible (due Wednesday, aka the day we get back from break e__e). I got a full eight hours of sleep and it was glorious.

Life is great.


Also thinking about a new moodtheme :/a
elementalhero: NO PANTS (ξhp | beyond the sky)
I have been reading The Dresden Files like a madwoman lately (we print them at work! THE SINGLE THING THAT HAS MADE MY JOB BEARABLE), so I thought I'd share some thoughts and squee!

Spoilers up through Book 6, Blood Rites )

Also:

One week left in purgatory.
elementalhero: NO PANTS (ξstock | ink is running toward the page)
I am about to say three words. Before I say them, you should know this has nothing to do with the actual content of the The Girl Who ____ books, because I never wish to read them, based purely on the awful pain and suffering I have endured on their stupid account. I am sure there are many people who enjoy them.

That said, those three words are:

FUCK STIEG LARSSON.

Screw his stupid books which have become stupidly popular in a stupidly short amount of time. Screw the awful-grade paper they are printed on, which jams the machines and slices my fingers into mincemeat. Screw his stupid relatives, who have pushed his unpublished manuscripts into being published because his will stipulated that they'd get all his assets which includes any future book royalties. Screw their obnoxious naming convention that makes their titles obnoxious to say whenever we glance at the schedule and moan, "shitfuck, we're doing The Girl Who Clusterfucked the Mass-Market Paperback Industry again." And screw his boring, tasteless, paper-dry writing style, which I had to stare at for a whole week about a month ago while I was trapped on the automation line, hating my life and waiting to die from some sort of tragic foot-pain-related condition.




...That was building up inside me for a while. Sorry.
elementalhero: NO PANTS (ξab | failure is the only option)
sob so I basically went to Amazon intending to buy volume one of R2 so I wouldn't have volume two out of order (I hate having gaps in the serial things I own, like books and DVDs), and I ended up buying the rest of the whole damn series. Same for when I ordered volume six of PokeSpe and ended up preordering volume eight so it would come in early August to make me happy when I get to quit my job. aaaaaaaaaaaah.

It's a good thing I have a job so I am at least replacing the money I fritter away. /sobs into a pillow at my consumer whorishness

SO YEAH, THE POINT OF A 30-DAY MEME HAS BEEN INVALIDATED, YOUR POINT?

Favorite movie:

Fight Club. It takes everything that was great about the book and brings it to life perfectly.

Favorite Television Program:

The Office. Because a. it is damn funny, and b. it is a big deal in my area.

Favorite Book:

All of them. :|

elementalhero: NO PANTS (Naruto & co. [lolwat])
I was going to talk about the Naruto chapter, but then I found something even better to discuss! You remember when I posted an entry concerning the airing of the Shippuden dub on the Disney XD channel? Apparently, it aired yesterday. And, well...

Sasuke's gonna find his brother and GIVE HIM A STERN TALKING-TO. :| )

Completely unrelatedly, I found out from TV Tropes that Anthony Burgess wrote A Clockwork Orange while trying to deal with his wife's violent rape. That just makes the book that much sadder and more harrowing for me. And I found the book very hard to read when I read it (beginning of senior year, purely of my own volition).

SO HAY GUYS, A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENED IN THE PAST TWO DAYS--

~I had [livejournal.com profile] jaderhade over for the first time in OHGODSOLONG, and we watched the Yu-Gi-Oh! movie. ...It was her idea, I swear to god. I wasn't going to let her make me watch it, but then I agreed to watch it only if she consented to watch episode 1 of Code Geass. >:D And, surprisingly, it was a fun movie to watch simply because of how genuinely bad it was. SO BAD IT WAS HILARIOUS AND A JOY TO BEHOLD. God, Dan Green alone made me practically aspirate an entire handful of popcorn and choke to death from lolling so hard. He must just speak in capslock.

~Drove around the mall for the first time ever, without parents. Jade had to keep me from hyperventilating because NOBODY IN THAT PARTICULAR CITY KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE, INCLUDING ME.

~Bought a bunch of books again, why do I have no self-control. :C I'm going to be one of those old people who gets crushed to death under a collapsed pile of books and isn't found for weeks.

~Then I literally got home, read for an hour, and then got dragged to my haircut and then immediately back to the mall for COLLEGE SHOPPING.

~The Gap was having its fortieth anniversary, and our local outlet had a semi-local band come and play, AND THEY WERE SO AWESOME. :D I gave the lead singer a thumbs-up when I was dragged out of the store (which is ironic because originally I had to be dragged in).

~I didn't get to take my usual run today. :C

~My mom keeps walking in and talking to me about the clothes I bought while I sit on the floor, clearly reading. She's one of those people of the opinion that Other Human Beings Always Take Priority Over Books, No Matter What, Even If The Person Reading Is Sitting In Her Room With The Door Closed, Clearly Trying To Enjoy It.

~On that note, a meme! These are books that aren't written, haven't been written, and I'm not sure will ever be written, but they are books I WANT written.--

1. Chuck Palahniuk writing a book about vampires. It would be the only vampire book i ever actually appreciated.

2. John Green writing a book about someone who thinks they're a changeling, but is actually an alien.

3. Matthew Stover rewriting the entire Star Wars canon, and then beating the shit out of Troy Denning with a lead pipe. Oh wait, maybe that's just my personal fantasy.

~homg naruto 460 homg will not explode until later, promise

...OHGOD CEILING MADARA I CAN'T EVEN BRAIN RIGHT NOW, GOD I LOVE OUR MAIN VILLAIN SO MUCH ♥ ♥ ♥

~And on that note, I AM NOW GOING TO GO BE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT AND STOP NEGLECTING TAGS.

Time for a mostly non-fandom related update of ME!

I'm kind of supposed to be cleaning my room at this moment, so hush.  I've got hours.  My nana's bringing my little sisters back from the beach, ending my day or so of blissful solitude.  -_-  But things could be worse.  It's FINALLY SUMMER WEATHER HERE, GOD with a few days or so of glorious sunshine and temperatures in the 90s.  Where has this weather been for the past three goddamn months is what I'd like to know.  SUMMER IS SUPPOSED TO BE HOT.  THIS IS A RULE.

I've been getting my textbooks in the mail for a few days now.  I got them all (15 books) for about 250 dollars.  CRAZY AWESOME.  Thank god for Amazon.  And, well, most of them are trade paperbacks for my Tragedies seminar, so.  :D

omg omg omg I start college in a week and a half omg omg omg omg omg

Been running wild at [livejournal.com profile] squarewarts  with a new muse and other such shenanigans.  Not so good at [livejournal.com profile] kannagara_rpg , though; I feel bad, but lately I've only been able to tag once or twice a night there.  It's an amazing RP, but just... so srs bsns.  It's been getting to the point where I feel emotionally drained after a few rounds of tagging.  I don't know.  But we're coming up on a less hugeomg event, so maybe that'll help me settle down.  This stress may be due in part to the fact that I've been readjusting my sleep habits to prepare for college (where I have an 8:30 am class on Tuesdays and Thursdays) so I haven't been on as late as I used to be, when I got most of my tagging done in weeks past.  IDK.  Now that I've posted about it, I'm hoping having this out here in the public space will motivate me to do a better job!  Better Living Through Confessing Your Failures On Livejournal, that's my motto.

Not much else to say/confess shamefully, so I think I'll go back to cleaning my room!  Peace out~

elementalhero: NO PANTS (Books [stock])

Hung around Penn State for most of the day with [livejournal.com profile] jaderhade , which was awesome!  Except I wore bad shoes, so my feet were blistered and hurty by the end of the day. D:   But they have the most glorious used bookstore ever, and I bought a used book on language in context and a new copy of House of Leaves, which I really really have wanted to read ever since I saw [personal profile] the_sun_is_up 's entries about it. Psychological horror is my favorite.

Diet is...starting, anyway.  I just have to get past the hunger pangs of the first week's portion control, and then my stomach shrinks and I'm set.  I've done this before.


A meme I forgot!  Ganked from [livejournal.com profile] tafkae :

Leave me a comment and I will reply with why I like you. If I don't know you, I'll either make something up or tell you why I like your LiveJournal. You must pay for the privilege by posting a message like this one on your LiveJournal.

5. One book that made you cry:
There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom, by Louis Sachar.  I was sixteen when I read it for the first time, and I about bawled at a book that clearly isn't trying to be played as a tear-jerker.  Just...the psychological profile of this nasty, nasty kid and why he doesn't deserve pity and why he does at the same time and klkjalfsjaklfhdsjklfdhasjl IN A KID'S BOOK, COME ON.  THIS MAN.  I WILL MARRY HIM.

6. One book that you wish had been written:
