kaiserkuchen: (Glee! Two good-looking Jews)
Today in a week, I should have my printed BAKK2 thesis in hand, ready to dump it at the secretary's office at the institute, because apparently my prof isn't in town yet. Am at 37 pages so far, two more of the interviews to analyze (or rather, summarize, man I am totally winging it), the conclusion and hypotheses and additional theories to add in the beginning to go! I hope it's gonna be good enough to pass, and maybe even get a 2 or something out of it. I really can't tell how she's gonna grade it, but ahh nothing I can do but get it finished in time eh?

But of course, I haven't spent the last few days solely working on my thesis like a good student would do, I have instead been trawling rec lists and reading oodles of Gleefic, as Puck & Rachel have kind of overtaken my brain and are sharing space with the overwhelming love I have for Kurt. So to spread the joy and distraction, here be some of the ones I really liked beyond the cut!
Thank god, there is decent Glee fic out there, woo! )

Some other worthy distractions:
The Fun Theory ...stolen from the lovely [livejournal.com profile] laulan and her wonderful "Awesome-up your Monday" posts, here be a link to what the good people at Volkswagen have been coming up with to make every day activities more fun. I ADORE THE PIANO STEPS LIKE WOAH.
FOOD GAWKER ...aka "WOULD YOU LIKE TO FEEL HUNGRY AND MAKE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO EAT ATM SEEM HORRENDOUSLY INADEQUATE?" If you answered: OF COURSE, well this site is perfect. Ahhh, the delicious looking fooooooooood~~
Accidental Dong ...it is kind of hilarious, okay?? I own up to my sometimes lamesauce sense of humor, though I take solace in still not finding fart/poop/puke jokes & humor funny :|
WHYYYYY ...SPEAKING OF DONGS, ugh 1) why is it 500$ and more importantly 2) WHY DOES IT HAVE MY NAME DD: Why can't there be better things named after meeee, bawww.

PS WHO WATCHED THE LATEST MAD MEN? Holy fuck, it was so good. JON HAMM NEEDS HIS EMMY, STAT.
kaiserkuchen: (Dexter! Angels & Demons)
If I ignore the fact that I have made PITIFUL progress on my thesis due to the following activities, these past few days have been quite fun! I was invited to a WG flatwarming party on friday, got to talk to a friend I haven't been in contact with for ages (he spent the previous semester in Shanghai, as well) and the assorted strangers who were also at the party. Yesterday I hung out at Wido's place with Clemens, and later two girls I also vaguely knew showed up and somehow I now have plans to go to an Australian pub with them next Wednesday? And after that I had to drop by another's friend's birthday/welcome back bash, to which I was uh, THREE HOURS LATE (whoops), but since we're not thaaaaaaat close it wasn't that much of a sin. Got some free cake to take home though, which was always a bonus. And all of this didn't cost me a cent, so at the very least I am wasting ~*Valuable Thesis Writing Time*~ frugally. I will also be heading off to meet Hazel and Marius later on today, the former of whom I haven't seen all summer and the latter for over a YEAR, as he one day decided to put his studies on hold and gallivant and work his way through America, Australia and Southeast Asia. He is also blond, blue-eyed, intensely attractive and fit (former gymnast!), and Hazel and I fully intend to hook him up with Carmen when she is back in town ♥. Oh, and I have some serious Jeeves and Wooster DVD watching planned with Olga later on this evening. Why is being social so unbelievably exhausting sometimes? I am not used to having things to do with so many people lol. Especially since I have insufficient self-control to get my uni shit done in time. SELF, WE NEED TO WORK ON THIS.

ANYWAYS, onwards to some reactions to the crazy amounts of distract-o TV I have been watching on TV-dome.net these past few days as well~~

GLEE 1x05 )

SPN 5x04 )

BBT 3x01&02, Project Runway, The Biggest Loser, Dexter 4x01 )
kaiserkuchen: (STrek! I MAKE GOOD LIFE CHOICES)
My gratitude for TV-dome.net will possibly never end, for it is glorious and lets poor non-torrenting me actually have a chance to keep up with all the awesome shows starting up again now.

Ergo, here be some random thoughts on the following:

SUPERNATURAL 5x01 )

GLEE 1x02 )

AND NOW FOR ~*BORINGCAKES ACADEMIA*~. Do you guys remember me posting about my BAKK2 bachelors thesis that I was writing about young women and blogging, and asked if I could interview a few of you? Some of you guys offered, and I guess I am now asking if you still feel like doing it, because I should slowly get my shit into gear now. LESS THAN A MONTH AND I HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANYTHING YET GO ME. Ahem. So, my plan is to get some, or most of the interviews done by this week or the next. The best way to do this would be per skype, my username there is the same as here, barring that you can search for me through my gmail account, which would be shaz.[mylastname]@gmail.com. We'd have to fiddle with the timezone a bit, am currently on GMT +7:00.

I've booked Miss [livejournal.com profile] cheshire_tabby for the 15th (what time would be best for you, btw?), and IIRC correctly [livejournal.com profile] laliandra and [livejournal.com profile] elfmanfan also volunteered? I haven't heard from [livejournal.com profile] properly_stored for a bit, so I am assuming she's on an LJ or internet hiatus? And I seem to have successfully convinced [livejournal.com profile] gwy to also take part (YESSSS).

ANYWAYS, ARE Y'ALL BAD ENOUGH DUDES TO SAVE THE PRESIDENT MY ASS? Let me know if you're still in & if yes, what times would be best for you plz ♥
kaiserkuchen: (SPN! SHOW ME SOME BLUE MAGNUM (S))
First off, the happiest of (slightly belated) birthdays to Mister *~JARED TRISTAN PADALECKI~* and [livejournal.com profile] quirkytaverna! Hope the day was supremely awesome, and in both cases I think I can say am quite interested in any reports of birthday shenanigans, so. Just putting that out there ;Db

I am back from our mini trip to el ranch de MYLASTNAME, and I must say that for short bursts of time, it is pretty damn swell. Gorgeous tranquility and GREEEEN surrounds you, the deckchairs are perfect to spend half the day asleep in and if I go there with Dad and Sue, sleeping, reading and eating are the extent of my responsibilities, so no complaints there! What I really like is that you can see all the fruits and veg really sprouting now, we even brought back sacks of cucumbers, chilis and limes, and Dad showed me the young dragonfruit trees they planted and the guava that we forgot to take along whoops. The other highlight of the trip has to be the ever expanding pack of dogs that live in, around and all over our property and the surrounding areas though! Honest to god VEGETARIAN DOGS. Seriously, before we came and started intermittently giving them our scraps of meat and wurst, all they normally got was banana, papaya or rice. Ergo they are all a bit runty, and skittish before they get used to so many strange new people, but its nothing a few slices of Leberkäs won't cure. I am in love with their names though-- TOFU and BIRDIE AND SWEET EGG ajkfshkjafh ♥ SE especially is the best, he's one of the dogs from the Neighbour Nobody Likes and somehow quite bulky and muscular and thus swaggers around the place like the dog pimp numero uno, regardless of the burden of his cutesy name. Tofu (or rather the Thai version: Tao Huu) is a sweet darling though. He has a snout like a baby polar bear <33

AND ON A FINAL NOTE: Misha Collins is crazy. We know this. But he still manages to surprise and delight the hell out of me every time I click by and see what he's been tweeting about. I hope and pray he'll keep this going when filming starts for S5 again <333. AND SPEAKING OF WHICH, I have been seeing some casting spoilers (willpower, me?? Surely you jest!) and I am pretty much excited. EEEEE ♥
kaiserkuchen: (SPN! Those Winchesters are heart-able)
IT IS FINALLY TIME.

Our [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang posting date is here. My very first Big Bang! Time went by faaaaaaaaaar too quickly, but it was always awesome and I think you guys will see beyond this lj-cut the largest amount of art that I personally have managed to produce in one continuous go since like, forever. APPARENTLY I CAN ONLY WORK UNDER STRESS 'n DEADLINES lolol. Some large images beyond the cut, mind your dial-up (if anybody still uses dial-up nowadays??).

ENOUGH BLATHER, SHOW ME SOME SUPERNATURAL GOODS )

AHHHHH ♥
kaiserkuchen: (OT3! Karekano lovin' FTW)
Which means that I finally got the chance to watch the Korean movie version of Fumi Yoshinaga's brilliant, brilliant manga Antique Bakery someone put on YOUTUBE in its ENTIRETY (+IN ACE QUALITY!!)and honestly? IT WAS SO GOOD. I expected something shallow and fun, but was prepared to cringe a bit from the adaptation, but it was A-with-a-capital-A adorable, quite faithful and detail-oriented and just all around well-made. The casting for the actors! The fact that they actually didn't cop out on Jean-Baptiste and Sun-Woo (=Ono) actually kissing on screen! THE (ACTUALLY NOT ALL THAT BAD) FRENCH! The musical numbers, seriously! And I admit, the last few minutes of the movie had me tearing up a bit, just like every time I reread the manga. The sense of calm, of just moving on with your life-- kjafhk basically, Fumi Yoshinaga's work so owns my heaaaaaart. which is why I will NEVER EVER EVER watch the craptacular j-dorama, hissssssssss

IN CONCLUSION: IF ANY OF YOU GUYS FEEL THE NEED FOR A MOOD LIFTER, CLICK THAT YT LINK ASAP. OR TORRENT THE DAMN MOVIE. It is brilliant and full of hot guys and delicious cake and even more delicious plot and character interactions, and then you should buy the manga and I will then hook you up with the porny dojinshi that the mangaka actually continued with drawing, AND IT'LL BE ALL GOOD. I mean, I was in kind of a crappy mood, and hella tired to boot, but now I have watched the movie and am now quite cheerful! Still tired as fuck, but w/e~~

AS A BONUS/PICTORIAL PROOF, SOME MOVIE POSTER PICS )

AND OF COURSE, the following meme, which is full of Truth and Moar Truth: If there is one person or more on your friends list who makes your world a better place just because they exist and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal.
kaiserkuchen: (LoM Sam! The grass is always greener)
  • MISHA COLLINS IS CRAZY. CRAZY AWESOME, obviously, but still craaaaaaaazy. It has been said before but bears repeating that his Twitter is single-handedly about the only actual Twitterpage I can stand to be on and actually regularly check and the dude never fails to top his previous tweets. BONUS POINTS FOR THE ACE PHOTOSHOPPED OR OTHERWISE STAGED PICS. Truly he goes above and beyond the call of Twitter-duty. I SURE HOPE HE KEEPS THIS UP WHEN THEY START FILMING SEASON 5 *_*

  • The SPN Big Bang fics I have been reading so far have all been so goooood, ahhh this summer will be an embarrassment of fic riches! And there has already been jaw-droppingly awesome art and fantastic FSTs. Mayhaps I will make a rec post later, but I can already say that I am extremely into the FST that [livejournal.com profile] newredshoes posted for her fic. Bluesy and alternative and all around ace music.

  • This also needs mentioning as often as possible-- how awesome is [livejournal.com profile] mcollinknight?? WELL BESIDES HER BDH-ness that we all know and are in awe of, she also sends very happy-making packages in futuristic Canadamail envelopes that always make me fail in opening them like a civilized person. Seriously dude-- the bracelet is so fabulous, I have actually already exhausted my store of matching blue tops to wear it with (okay, tbh I also only have two blue shirts, but MOAR DRESSES hmmm moving on to those then...)

  • Dad finally called and was clearly in a very lolarious mood, as he spent far too long cackling at things I was telling him about that I didn't think were THAT funny (mainly my failure to assemble fans efficiently and how I haven't used the rice cooker I seriously badgered him to bring along, lol whoops), but! Always a pleasure to have caused that much hilarity to a parental unit, I guess! He also apparently sent me a SMS IN ITALIAN when we were in Roma, but I never got it. BOO. Now I am all curious as to what he could have possibly bothered the Italian chef to teach him, ajfhaf lol.

  • I AM VERY TIRED
kaiserkuchen: (Ron! DO NOT WANT)
Over these past few days, I have realized a thing or two. Mainly, HOLY SHIT THE SUMMER SEMESTER IS NEARLY OVER ALREADY AHHH THE EXAMS ARE UP ALREADY AHHH THREE EXAMS THESE NEXT WEEKS BESIDES ALL MY OTHER DEADLINES AHHHHHHHH. I shall probably start fervently praying that I pass all three of the PKW exams, holy crap my next semester (and laaaaaaast one!) would be so chill if that were true... COMMUNICATIONS LAW (take two, bawww), COMMUNICATIONS ETHICS AND ...uh, COMMUNICATIONS/QUALITY EVALUATION METHODS, I VOW TO AT THE VERY LEAST ATTEMPT TO PASS YOU. Kicking academic ass is more of a surprise bonus, lol I am such a bad written exam taker-- give me an oral exam where I have to defend my work or present anything to strangers ANY DAY.

The weather is also intensely moody, we keep swinging from CRAP --> SWELTERING --> RAIN --> CRAP all the damn time. Have at least finally bought a fan though, so at least the nights of tossing and turning and feeling like I'd choke on the warm air that would lie like a dead weight in the bedroom are over, at least! MMMH FAN ♥

I have also made quite good progress on my SPN Big Bang banner, if I might say so myself! Shading people decently still remains something beyond my grasp, but I think I can muddle my way through it... It still needs a few sessions, but I think I can soon move on to some other pictures. Posting deadline for us is the 26th of June, and I'd feel bad if I could only offer [livejournal.com profile] laulan a measly banner lolol >_>;;

Tomorrow will be another day of frantically trying to get uni deadlines done, have a UE Hist presentation on Friday with the boys that is basically non-existent yet (WHOOPS), a UE PR presentation on Tuesday and our UE Werb presentation on Wednesday. And the last of these is basically all done already, which is fantastic and the reason why I love to sign up for presenting duties --> means I don't have to make the PPP, though I can already see this plan not working with my PR presentation. BLARGH.
kaiserkuchen: (LOL! More shots of reality bzwuuuh??)
A FIRST ATTEMPT. 4:12 minutes of random chattering, using the word fantastic three times to describe fashion and dresses in less than two minutes (WHOOPS), some Thai (my a-accent ._.) and me actually using the words WUNDERBAR and SCHÖN far too many times in my German rambling. ALSO I NEARLY STUMBLE OVER THE WORD 'INTERAGIEREN' d'ohhh. I was magically not that vulgar for my standards though, and no internet acronyms were abused in this audio recording. SHOCKING, I KNOW. Normally I would say I don't have such a weird, halting cadence though-- even if apparently my voice levels DO go UUUUP and down lol. Sorry for the large file, converting it to mp3. from Audacity involved downloading weird fiddly bits and the wav. option went the easiest.

Here is the S.Oliver's website, by the by!

SO UH, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK LOLOL 8Db


ALSO: I couldn't wait and watched a crappy camrip version of Up yesterday, AND BASICALLY BAWLED MY WAY THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOVIE. SO BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING AND HILARIOUS AND WONDERFUL, holy shiny balloons and dodos! The talking dogs (EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE forever)! Russel and Carl! CARL AND ELLIE'S EPIC LOVE, oh my god, I could tear up just thinking about that opening sequence. MY HEAAAART. I need to watch this again in theaters and I will spring the cash for the original DVD when it comes out. Stunning work, and I think my utter favorite from Pixar now. AHHH ♥
kaiserkuchen: (Federer! Super fresh and super spry)
ROGER FEDERER WON THE FRENCH OPEN ♥!!!

OH MY GOD HE FINALLY MADE IT. OH MY GOD ROGER ♥ ♥!! OH MY GOD I AM SO HAPPY, SO PSYCHED. THIS IS BRILLIANT. HE EQUALIZED SAMPRAS' RECORD, AND IS STILL 4 YEARS YOUNGER THAN PETE WAS. OH MY GOD.

GOD I NEED PICTURES STAT!!
kaiserkuchen: (SPN! Now get on those knees and pray (D))
EINS: I sent off my rough art draft for [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang! Finished up a background for the title banner, added the characters and did the lineart (well except for Jared as he is Being Tricky). There are obviously still loads of things to fiddle with and improve on, and I am already impatient to finally get to color out everything and add accessories and little details on the girls, but I am quite happy with it so far. [livejournal.com profile] laulan, imma send you a copy probably later in the evening when I have another few hours to work on it or something ,aiiiight?

DOS: [livejournal.com profile] mcollinknight HATH RETURNETH TO THE TENDER EMBRACE OF THE INTERNETS AGAIIIIIN. PROBABLY NOW ARMED WITH EVEN MORE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL IN BEING AN AWESOME-R PERSON THAN THE REST OF US *THROWS CONFETTI, HEARTS* Ahhh C, you BDH, you!! I DON'T ENVY YOUR SPAM-CATCH UP SESSIONS THOUGH. YOU SHOULD TIME HOW LONG IT TAKES TO READ EVERYTHING :DD
ALSO I AM TOTALLY SMSing [livejournal.com profile] apple_scruffer RIGHT NOW ABOUT IT AND SHE CAN'T COME ONLINE NEENER NEENER okay so she actually has a job and responsibilities and I am still sitting here in my pajama pants BUT STILL :DDD

สาม: I am already reading Star Trek porn and fic and pornfic without having seen the actual movie yet. WHOOPS. But I am already shipping Kirk/McCoy like woaaah and Spock/Uhura is awesomesauce. CHRIS PINE'S EYEBROWS STILL SOMETIMES FREAK ME OUT THOUGH. And this is why 'I'M ON A BOAT (MOTHERFUCKER)' will never get old to me. SO awesome ahhhkjajk~~. Oh and this interview has me torn between feeling uncomfortable watching because of the interviewer, and laughing because Chris Pine and Zach Quinto are clearly on something. LOUD NOISES!

สาม POINT FIVE: Literal Music Video- Total Eclipse of The Heart aka, START WHEEZING WITH LAUGHTER NOW. I never noticed how fucked up and weird the original video is. DANCING NINJA MEN WHO KNOW HOW TO TWIRLLLLL.

SANDWICH AND A SHOWER BECKON.
kaiserkuchen: (Tidus! Eeee!)
THINGS THAT MADE TODAY SUCK:
-KORRE grades are finally in: HELLO FAILURE! What the fffffffffuck, I was so sure that I had at least written enough correct to pass. Ugh ugh ugh, so I guess I can't sell my script off yet then! Weirdly enough I am more annoyed and slightly embarrassed than in abject despair. This better be the only PKW subject I flunk this semester (...probably not, given EVA and KOMET looming on the horizon, but who knows!).
NOTE TO SELF: KICK ASS IN THE RETAKE THIS JUNE OKAYYYY?? :|||
-Sabrina is back! And spent the first few hours of her return having her special phone conversations that consist of so much yelling that I can hear it in my room. She has some serious emotional issues, methinks! Now, I must say that this is actually the best kind of timing though-- I'm leaving for five days, everything is clean and my half of the fridge is full. I am almost curious as to how fucked up things will look like when I'm here again.

THINGS THAT QUITE POSSIBLY REDEEMED TODAY:
-I have more than half packed everything!
-Angie sent me a postcard from the Jungfraujoch that arrived today! MMM MAIL.
-I read this monster of a brilliantly well-written Norrington/Sparrow PoTC fic. "Between Wind and Water" is its name, and the author really makes 90'000 words fly by in an instant. And actually made me interested in the navy/ship happenings. I admit, the Narniaaaaa fic of the weekend has given me a hankering for some elaborate fic with battles and war, and this totally hit the spot. Glorious! The porn is hot too, of course, but not even the main point of it.
-Speaking of fic, [livejournal.com profile] laliandra is a goddess amongst us feeble mortals, and posted the most DELIGHTFUL and GLEE-INDUCING NBNW fic everrrrrr she wrote for my ~*birthday*~ over at RBR, so run, don't walk to gaze upon its greatness. ILU ILU LAL ♥
-LAST BUT NOT LEAST, [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang posting schedule is reveaaaled! We're due on the 26th of June, [livejournal.com profile] laulan!! AHHH SO EXCITED ALREADYYYYY :DD

THINGS THAT I STILL NEED TO DO, OH FUCKSICLES:
-ALL MANNER OF UNI SHIT, WHOOOPS
-Some more drafts to send to [livejournal.com profile] laulan before I leave late tomorrow afternoon(...we'll see how much I get done d'ohh)
kaiserkuchen: (SPN! All the way down from heaven (C))
Query: What have I done this weekend, besides be online and go for a delicious fish dinner at Umar Fisch at the Naschmarkt with Carmen (an occasion to dress-up and leave the dorm, wooo lolol)?
Answer: NOT MUCH AT ALL.

Nevertheless, I am slowly working my way up to something at least, have finally set up my shiny new 500GB external hard drive (supposedly only for my ~entertainment purposes~ uhuhu), and promptly discovered that the same problem appears there that when I open my vids file WINDOWS EXPLORER FUCKING FREEZES AND CRASHES in like FIVE FUCKING SECONDS. The only way I can access it/delete stuff is through fiddling with the 'Open: File' function on VLC when I want to watch vids. AAAAUGH why does this happen and how can I fix it?? Ugh so irritating :// Doing some roundabout moving and then deleting of some TV series eps on C:// though, maybe this'll free up the old laptop? TIDUS DEAR DO NOT BE AFRAID.

Have some links to pretty awesome things (multifandom) again:
_"GLEE" extended promo ...This looks like a pretty fun show! And it uses "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, yesssssssssssssss. Quarterback dude and Glee Teacher dude also look adorable. I really hope my new streaming site BFF Tv-Dome has it next week!
_EPIC in-progress APH vid ...I keep forgetting to talk about it here, but I've been pretty much silently stalking about Hetalia fandom for a while now, mainly because of the fantastic output of great art (taking to admittedly cutesy original art to such awesome levels) and because reading the [livejournal.com profile] all_he_ever AU universe fic keeps blowing my mind in new and interesting ways. And this vid is just unbelievably well done, even in sketchy-ass form. THE ART. The way the characters are drawn! And the way the song totally crawls into your brain and makes itself at home there. FFF YEAH (does anybody have the mp3, by any chance??)
_JDM on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson ...two delightful men, being funny and saucy with each other (their voicessss)! JDM IS SO HOT, jeebus christ, this cannot be said enough. The bird story! THE BIT AT THE END! AHHH ♥
_The Venetian Carnival page of a gorgeous travel photo blog ...Carmen sent me this link and I am using it as ~SPN BB inspiration~. And seriously, check out the other galleries--THE ITALY PAGES AHHH
_Lykke Li- "I'm Good, I'm Gone (acoustic version)" ...oh my godddd, this version. Is gorgeous and kjakjafhkj ahhh LISTEN TO IT.
_NARNIA FIC THAT WILL EAT YOUR LIFE ...and you will love every minute of it. The world-building in all of this 'verse is exquisite and I love the author's versions of the scarily battle-tested and competent Pevensie siblings (Especially Peter. YOU BORDELINE CRAZYCAKE ♥) and the epic plots that are full of interesting little nuances and things like ACTUAL MILITARY STRATEGY and skjfdkja. I guess this is where I admit that I spent Saturday rereading my way through this archive?? Ahehehe ^^
_FUN FACT I DID NOT KNOW: Misha Collins has a Twitter account now! ...this still doesn't change the fact that my main opinion re:Twitter is still a resounding 'MEH. Not for me.', but I just love him when he posts stuff like "i see hundreds of posts and now i think, "this is stupid," how the fuck do i respond to 400 posts? It takes me 3 days to email my mother." OR "But I'm gonna have to take a hard line from here on out. Anyone (Bsides me) using badly grammar, abr. or mispelin' is gonna be perm. removed". AHHH MISHA WHY SO GREAT??
kaiserkuchen: (SPN! Drama-lama-rama baby (D))
AHH SUPERNATURAL SEASON 4 SEASON FINALE AHHH. ALSO: TV-DOME.NET IS AN AWESOME STREAMING WEBSITE THAT DOESN'T EFF UP ON ME.

Spoilery squee beyoooond )
kaiserkuchen: (Ryuuken! Daddy Cool oh yes you are)
I am utterly and totally knackered, to steal a Brit way of saying things. Holy crap. And I have no real idea where this is coming from, but I just feel this resounding feeling of mental and physical lethargy-- so if I seem a little off to you guys these next few days, it is because I am running on what you'd call Stromsparmodus. This better not be my brain already preparing for Roma roma romaaa (NEXT WEEK HOMG!!), ugh there is so much unwanted uni crap to deal with still this week.

In an effort to not make this entry even more pointless and boring, have some links that have been at least moderately to quite entertaining, via Ye Old Youtube:
_Some person on YT who's uploaded a bunch of current anime ...I can highly recommend K-ON! as a fun and cheerful anime about a group of four girls who decide they want to start a band and make it big. Adorable character designs and relationships, and seriously solid animation.
_Their ED is also insanely catchy and one of the most addictive to watch that I have seen in ages. ...Or more likely: I am just totally transfixed by the moe moe character designs. And I am a sucker for lip-synching during OP/ED themes or just basically Band!actionn. Their dresses! So darling~ (And here's the Full Version of the K-ON! ED song btw)
_"The Monster without a Name" ...who here also read and LOVED Naoki Urusawa's brilliant Monster manga? Never really had time to watch the anime, but here are some clips of the animated versions of the creepy and wonderful fairytales that were woven into the plot of the series. GAAH. Lovely visuals, but GAAAAH. Further tales: "The Person with the Big Eyes & The Person with the Big Mouth" and
"The Troubled God"

_Wonderfully clear and understandable YT vids on different hairstyles ...Non-anime/manga lol, and FINALLY, a vid that makes me understand how one does a fishtail braid. And the sheer variety of things this woman can do with her hair is fascinating. It's so long and glorious O_O

Also, it occurs to me that I haven't really posted about last week's Supernatural. Huh. Suffice to say that it pretty much blew my fucking mind and I am on the edge of my seat to find out what happens in the SEASON FINALE this week. Expect mindless ALLCAPS and cursing of Kripke to occur thereafter!

NOW: BEDTIME (??).
kaiserkuchen: (LOL! The bitter truth)
[livejournal.com profile] apple_scruffer AND [livejournal.com profile] jorajo, YOU SUDDENLY FEEL AN UNSTOPPABLE URGE TO CLICK ON THIS FOLLOWING LJ-CUT

OH MY GOD, IT IS CALLING YOU. YOU CANNOT RESIST )


....in other news, I meant to spend the day productively, but ended up watching episodes of Black Books (AWESOME!!) the whole day on youtube, and also: GERMANY'S NEXT TOP MODEL. FFFFFF Jessica du olle Sau, warum bist du weiter gekommen???

TOMORROW IS ANOTHER CHANCE??
kaiserkuchen: ('Lupin'! SNIK SNIK MUTHAFUCKA)
<-- Rin (if you're reading this), I don't even think I was peripherally involved in this in-joke or whatever, but only just seeing it on your LJ page was enough to make me continue to crack up every time I see it spelled that way :Db

SO BASICALLY CARMEN AND I FELT THE BURNING NEED TO SPEND MONEY TO SEE GIANT HUGH JACKMAN BE ALL ACTION-Y AND SHIT

Wolverine 'thoughts', out of order reactions and braindribble of no real redeeming value. OH AND A CLIP OF GAMBIT BECAUSE EVERY LJ ENTRY NEEDS MOAR GAMBIT )

AND ALSO: Have some pretty cool TV-Spots for Wolverine, Gambit, Sabretooth, Wade Wilson and Wraith! THE MENANCE IN LIEV SCHREIBER'S VOICE. Gambit's hat! EEEE :Db
kaiserkuchen: (SPN! Lolcat BON JOVIIII)
I've claimed a story for [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang! The summary: "RPS AU. A practical carpenter, Jensen doesn’t believe in magic or fairytales--but when a messenger appears from thin air looking for him, he finds himself drawn into a mission to rescue a wizard he has no memory of, who just happens to be trapped in a place no one knows how to get to. Set in modern times with fantasy elements, including a palace of birds, alchemy, and a tower east of the sun and west of the moon."
Akjsfhakjf I am already so psyched, lol I was eagerly scrolling through the stories for something that wasn't all too DARK!!1, because as awesome as that may be at times, I think it's the last word that can be used to describe my art (that I have been woefully lazy in actually bringing past sketch stage/posting on LJ whoops). But fairytale happenings! ACH ♥
Looking forward to using this as an occasion to really get to create something fun and awesome and COMPLETE, lol this is probably the main reason I feel the need to sign-up for such things, I need the pressure to actually do shit.

Speaking of Supernatural-- oh how I wish season 4 wouldn't be over so soon already D:! I haven't really been LJing any ep reactions lately, because youtube has been intensely vexing with the speed that it takes the eps down that people post for schmucks like me who aren't able to torrent things. I mean, I will probably spend the entire summer once I get the DVDs in BKK rewatching like a mofo, but it's the whole immediacy of getting to watch the eps NOW that is the real deal. THIS SEASON FINALE/LAST TWO EPS WILL SO KILL ME DEAD THOUGH. SAM! DEAN! DDD:!
(This difficulty is also the reason why I haven't been watching Southland, eventhough the first ep was really good and I am already intrigued by all the characters. Ben McKenzie, helllllo again~~)

But now for some (multi-fandom)links/recs:
_DELICIOUS GELATO FOOD AND ROMEPORN POST OF AWESOME ...I CAN'T WAAAAIT FOR ROMA ROMA ROMAAAA!
_THERE CAN SIMPLY NEVER BE ENOUGH "THE FALL" PICSPAMS ...♥!!
_A Picspammers Guide to Picspamming ...I lovelovelove [livejournal.com profile] bellanut's SPN picspams, so this post was an extra treat to read/oogle through.
_"Five Signs Your Wolverine Might Be Gay" ...ffffff ahahahaha :D Something to keep in mind when I GET TO WATCH IT TODAY WOOOOO :Dbb GAMBIT BABY, HERE I COME.
_Raidou vs. King Abbadon Release Art Countdown ...[livejournal.com profile] amei and [livejournal.com profile] wredwrat are both brilliant, brilliant artists who have an immensely high turnout rate of awesome, mostly game-related art, and nothing exemplifies this better than having a look at this chock-full o' goodness blog. Megaten goods, unfff. Also IP cockblocking is keeping me from seeing the pics on their LJs, so I am hella thankful for this kind of 'Umweg' lol
_Seriously one of the BEST Iron Man vids I have seen in a while ...seriously, WATCH IT. Ace editing, and the song just fits like a fist to the face. Fantastic!
kaiserkuchen: (OTP! Something moves within my heart)
Just watched The Fall today with Miss Olga, in an act of awesome socialization that basically saved my Saturday from being just the day where I failed to actually get myself showered and ready to go buy some groceries before they closed in the time-span of uh, six hours. When I say that I am sometimes a profoundly lethargic person, this is about the kind of stuff I get up to when at my low points, lol what. DID manage to clean the disgusting thing that is our toilet brush receptacle and actually change the old, FOUL one for a new one (actually a glass cleaner and thus totally small, but whatever). There seems to be no point in buying normal toilet brushes, as dearest Sabrina roomie seems to have ~mysterious~ bowel issues that always involve making the public bathroom toilet brushes look more pristine than ours. I hope I am not jinxing myself by typing this, but she has been gone for the whole last week! Left some trash to molder again (that I am currently ignoring), but she is not here, fuck yeahhhhhh :DD

BUT THAT ASIDE, back to the movie. My non-spoilery review: HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS MOVIE IS GORGEOUS. The scenery! The colors! Everything was so insanely lushly costumed and sumptuously shot and breathtakingly and heartstoppingly beautiful and Lee Pace(♥ ♥) and the little girl were all kinds of wonderful (their relationship ngggg socute). My face during the movie could basically be summed up by the following emoticons-- :O, with sprinklings of D:!! and :D!!. I was ever so engrossed in the story and I loved how the two worlds of the actual hospital staff and patients and the fantastic world that Roy was telling Alexandria of were slowly merging together in Alexandria's imagination and ahh *flails*. If Olga wasn't sitting right next to me, I totally would have also started crying at at least two separate scenes in the movie, haaah.

SO BASICALLY, if you guys have the chance, you should all watch this ASAP! It will seriously blow your mind ♥ For further gorgeous eyecandy, please to be checking out THIS PICSPAM.

And to round this off, one of my favorite pics/production stills from an image search :DD )

Since I have been constantly neglecting my other hobby of maaaaaanga, I've spent large bits of yesterday evening alternating the now usual punditry/RBR and SPN with catching up on my old series on onemanga.com:

Koukou Debut/Highschool Debut: IT'S OVER NOW??? D:! Now where will I get my occasional cute and fluffy highschool romcom fix? But oh, on what an adorable note it ended! Haruna and Yoh's relationship is just so adorable and I think this will be a series I will reread just for sheer 'DAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!1' factor.

Bleach 353: ...never has it been more obvious in these last few dozen chapters that Kubo Tite is clearly working on autopilot or whatever, because uggggggggggggh I still like the art a lot, but holy hell has it turned ever so boring. And loosely plotted. Poor Ishida for lying around getting [SPOILERED] whilst everybody else was getting distracted by Ulquiorra/Ukelelelele's [SPOILER]. The color spread for this chapter was pretty boobtastic though, and Rangiku/Orihime's bikinis fit this time! >_>;;

Fullmetal Alchemist 94: AND BY CONTRAST, THIS IS HOW GRIPPING AND AWESOME ENTERTAINMENT that is true to the character's development, fitting with the overarching plot and just damn fine to read is done. HOT DAMN, ROY MUSTANG, YOU CRAZY SCARY FUCK ♥ EPIC EPIC EPIC ♥ For more spoilery discussion of HOW FANTASTIC!!!!!!11 it was, please to be checking out this post. Hiromu Arakawa just keeps on bringing it, and on that note-- how great is it that Sarah Reese Brennan/[livejournal.com profile] sarahtales's book's Japanese edition is getting a cover drawn by Arakawa-sensei?? SO MUCH WIN.

AND IN OTHER RL NEWS, I am currently headdesking-slash-being infuriated at the stupid shit that is currently going on back home in Thailand. WHAT THE FUCK, RED SHIRTS, WHAT THE BLEEDING FUCK. Forcing the cancellation of the ASEAN summit in Pattaya? Breaking into the hotel? Fighting in the streets? Good to see you have clearly given up on trying to have the "moral high ground", though in my opinion the actions of the Chiang Mai fraction what with their random beat-ups of radio guys who allegedly support the Yellow shirts and the way you forced the gay pride parade to be canceled (SINCE THAT HAS SO MUCH TO DO WITH GETTING THAKSIN BACK) totally lost that tenuous hold since at least last November :/// And now the country is even more down the drain, re: international reputation, good job! Also, way to ring in the Thai New Year :|||. Akjhfekjhsfa it is just so terribly frustrating, and I honestly don't really know how this will get resolved, besides there just being a constant wave of protests and counter-protests ad infinitum. I don't profess to have a full view of the situation, but I like what I have heard of Abhisit so far, and I do think that he is a good choice, especially since he is ARTICULATE and SMART-- but there is only as much as he can do, especially since the fact that about 95% of the current politicians in the country are just fat, lazy and irreparably corrupt and self-centered anyways. UGHHHHH.
