I can't stop watching Nevermind the Buzzcocks on Youtube ahhhh

[kaiserkuchen]

Started to do so since yesterday, and managed to suddenly wind up in front of the computer at 3AM again. DAMMIT, SELF!! Simon Amstell is probably my favorite host though, he is so hilarious and snarky ♥ Cracked up so much at the episode with Kelly Rowland who kept looking at turns vaguely confused and disturbed by the shenanigans going on XDD.

Because thinking up smooth transitions from paragraph to paragraph is too much of a fucking hassle atm, a random list of things I have been up to:

- Watched Gamer with Carmen on Friday, starring Gerard Butler and Michael C. Hall amongst others and it was quite possibly one of the most stupid and insulting movies I have ever seen in a good long while. I mean, though the topic is interesting and merits discussion, I had no real expectations of ~depth~ from a movie that is basically about REAL VIDEO GAMES!!1 in the future and nanobots and death-row prisoners fighting to win the game and gain freedom but OH WAIT they are controlled by players!1 and the head of the game tech developing company is EVIL!1, but the cliches the movie traded in were extensive and dated, the way women and people who weren't fit white men were treated was disgusting and demeaning and quite frankly, the action wasn't all that great. It was quite clear that the makers specifically tailored everything in the movie to their core audience of 16-twentysomething year old dudes, and it was evident in things like the titsapalooza in every possible scene, the groupies who vidchat the Gerard Butler Character's gamer calling themselves Cumdumpstaaz (....seriously), fake!lesbians galore and various demeaning things happening to GBC's wife during her "job" as some virtual reality meatpuppet.
The only good thing about the movie was basically Michael C. Hall's unrepentantly hammy yet entertaining performance as the villain (with a southern accent, even >_>;), and I just basically kept imagining him in character as Dexter for the lulz, I do admit it. This scene in particular was perfection. His creepy dancing and lip-synching!

- Finally got around to cleaning up my yahoo!mail account, which was heading towards the big 10'000 of emails, so I uh, spent the afternoon trying and eventually succeeding in deleting 6'000 emails. Phew! All those FB and LJ notifications from ahem, 2006 and 2007, GOODBYE!

- Had delicious delights with Hazel and Carmen today at the Pure Living Bakery. Exceedingly charming place and lovely, home-made pastries. I had a "monster cinnamon roll" that was baked with apple slices in it, om nom nom ♥. Also discovered that Hazel has a crazy, crazy schedule and Carmen and I are basically hobos who complain about actually having to leave the house every now and again in comparison, lol.

- For the last few days, and basically since I came back from Salzburg, I have meant to post a bit about yuletart. Have probably spammed the same favorites I had over and over again to different people on skype, but never did I actually remember to mention it here. Well consider this the day I change this! My Yuletart pic this year was from Pushing Daisies and I received a lovely Steampunk!DDS picture of Serph from mashimero. Here is a small selection of personal favorites from this year's lot (go check out the rest!):
A)ZOMBIES AND VIOLENCE! Two tastes that go well together (Left 4 Dead/Team Fortress 2)
B)Gorgeous pencil sketches of Morgana and The Fall (Merlin, The Fall)
C)Utterly fantastic craft-y knitting idea (Merlin)
D)STUNNING genderswap of the main four (Merlin) ...idek why I liked the Merlin stuff so much this year XDDD
E)Bonafide story-tale beauty (Merlin) nebst, you got some mad skills, lady ♥
F)SO CUTE, SO FUNNY, SO PERFECT (Star Trek)


ALSO!! Check out these FIERCE LADY GAGA BARBIE DOLL MODS ...the little costumes! GLORIOUS.

Oh, wow, dude, your Pushing Daisies piece is a whole world of adorable. For reals.

(Oh, Ned, Chuck, Emerson, Olive and Digby - whyfor were you taking from my life? *sniffs*)

Re: NMTB - I am assuming that you have seen the tremendous Gay-Off episode? Oh, the Barrowman, there are truly no words to describe you.

I do miss Simon so very much. I wasn't sure you could replace Mark Lamarr - but Simon managed to balance being utterly evil with being adorable rather well.

Edited: because I remembered I still have an appropriate icon hanging around.

Thanks :D! I really did have fun drawing it, even that was a total mood-lifter. AHHH THE POWERS OF PUSHING DAISIES ♥

I haaaaave! Though I must admit that one of my personal favorites is the one with Josh Groban. I had no idea the dude was that funny, that good of a sport and that fast with the comebacks or quips XDD COUNT ME CHARMED! Utterly evil + adorable is a rather fitting combo to describe Simon lol I think I would be utter shit if I would ever have to interact with him in person myself, but oh my god it is far too hilarious seeing him with some of the guests XDD

YAY that is a cute icon~~ I also finally managed to get myself one, though Ned looks a bit melancholy in it...

SOOOOOO... how is this bakery?
do they really have those awersome Byron Bay Cookies which my mom bought ages ago and which I never finished eating because they were so pretty? *___*

and wooooo~for friday, maybe we can do a little art session? HOORAY!

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

Looking at the pictures we made, it seriously looks like someone's comfy living room ♥ And I have no idea man-- they had a wide variety of cookies (hello kitty ones, even!), but I didn't check what they were all called... I do have to say that there probably was something a liiiiittle bit undercooked in their Teig though, because Carmen and I both ordered wholly different things and both kind of had slight stomach issues later in the evening :(

!! Sounds like awesomesauce to me! If I bring my own paper and pens and see what kind of colors/watercolors I still have lying around, we can have ourselves a little analog media session :DD (and you can help me w/ the Bewerbungsletters I will be writing out in longhand lolol)

ALSO I JUST AM NOW REMEMBERING THAT I FORGOT TO ANSWER YOUR SMS ack faaaaaail self >_>;; you caught me at one of my distracted moments where my brain later proceeded to blank out ffff

Oh god, I have to clean out my email soon! CONGRATUS ON THAT, BB. ♥ You are a star! XD Also, thanks for those yuletart links! Lovely stuff. :D

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

I FELT SO PRODUCTIVE lolol. And happy surfing! There were some pretty swank pieces posted this year (and basically a near complete success rate in everything being handed in in time and all that)

[nebst.livejournal.com]

That bakery looks so lovely. :O

(And thanks for the rec! ♥ I agree, the Merlin stuff was totally amazing this year. Granted, part of that may just be that Merlin and Star Trek were the two most popular fandoms (I think?) so the sheer amount of awesome made it more noticeable?)

[kaiserkuchen.livejournal.com]

It was like sitting in a very comfortable living room of a jet-set, yet slightly retro and kitschy American friend XDD The sofaaaaaaaaaas, you never wanted to get up!

Well it was a seriously awesome pic, so there ♥! It's interesting to see what fandoms dominate in every round of Yuletart-- I remember when Supernatural actually had that role! Or at least 4-5 fanarts for a round, which is a lot already for YT standards. I WONDER WHAT NEXT YEAR WILL BEHOLD :DD
