mmnh I think I will fall in love with a guy who would say Have a blessed day. Peace!
I love how strong my body is. No, it's not the poster body for strength & there are tonnes of people way stronger than me but- the other day I ran up the hill right outside my house with my dog and with surprise I realized I wasn't winded at all. About a year ago? A year and a half ago? I put on some running shoes and started jogging up that hill and I was so winded after about 100 ft. I stopped.
I am really such an addict but I am grateful for the internet. Yes Means Yes! Visions of female sexual power and a world without rape. A sex-positive blog that discusses such topics as determining your own definition of virginity. |

| on the disappointment with Spock/Uhura |
[Nov. 19th, 2009|01:23 am] |
Well, on ontd_st people posted the most recent news of JJ Abrams & the rest of the writer/production crew talking about what we may expect from the sequel. One of the bits was that the Spock/Uhura relationship will be taken "to the next level," and tho that is really vague, we can take from it that S/U will continue onto the sequel, and tt we will get more of an idea into what their relationship means to each other.
The majority of the comments express disappointment with the S/U storyline in the first movie, and its continued exploration in the next movie.
From what I can gather, a lot of the complaints were of how the relationship was out of character for either of them (which is one reason why I'm hesitant to input my own opinion, since after all, I have only the 2009 movie & fanfic to base my characterizations on), that the pairing seemed like it came out of nowhere, and the fear that S/U will take away from the S/K that was so integral to the original.
( the rest of it. ) |

Hey lords and ladies. Here's an amazing post from ontd. 15 pages of YA book recs featuring female protagonists. Go ontd! Even though the comm is ripe for/with wank I love that there is also a (small?, persistent) strong presence of feminists on there willing to educate/debate, and we get posts like this that call out the misogyny in a book that result in people listing their favorite books with strong girls/women.
( the personal list I gathered so far from them to read or re-read. collected from up to pg 8 )
and
Maru in Michigan, adorable dog blog. So very fucking adorable, fucking seriously. Pics look good, dog looks good, some good setups. part of a Japanese blog ring that ranks popular dog blogs.
and!
Vogue by Luminosity, it came out in 2007 so you might've seen it before. You don't need to have watched 300 to get/enjoy it, and the editing is quite beautiful on its own. It's a mashup of 300 with Madonna's "Vogue." Don't judge it by the weirdly crappy screengrab? Uhh I don't recall a red rectangle appearing anywhere in the video. Her summary:
Bite me, Frank Miller. |

I've entered that terrifying stage where I have no clue what to draw unless it's right in front of me and moving very, very slowly, so, I'm going to try to relax that by drawing just that, EVERY! DAY! or as close as possible, and I mean it. I mean it this time. Hands drawn with opposite hands.

Something I did for a web zine called Bang Bang Shousetsu. For the upcoming issue I submitted this to, the theme was "Picture Perfect" where the stories will be determined by the picture the writer chooses. Guidelines for illusts were basically anything goes, so when I was rushing to finish smth the morning of deadline that's all I remembered. I've been procrastinating and didn't look around the comm first so it was only afterwards I realized that the issue was still going to be m/m based, and that it's required that there's a sex scene in every story. /dumb
This evening for a couple hours all the air around outside was this buttery yellow color. I felt like someone dropped us into Pleasantville or some fake world made out of plastic or something. I was all excited at first and ready to TELL THE WORLD but then my mom was all like, There's a phrase for this kind of thing in Vietnamese, and we say it represents the beauty in life cos it doesn't last long and blarblar..........
I also went to an observatory a while ago and observed Saturn. It was so tiny and one-dimensional being so far away, looked like someone cut out a picture of Saturn from the paper and stuck it on the glass. The observatory also smelled faintly of cats. Reminded me a lot of e Jean days.
I saw the Big../Little?? Dipper in real life for the first time. I was also excited about locating the North Star in rl cos of this segment in this videogame where I maneuvered by watching the stars. Yeah fake world inspiring me to be interested in real world. Of course in the videogame the North Star was SUPER bright and even flickered strobo-light -like. Right? Or maybe it was the Evening Star. Which I found out in rl is actually a planet, usually Venus, and not always visible. |

I saved this sucha long time ago but I'm going to do the muura art meme. You can find it in its entirety here.
1. Draw an image, copy it three times and colour each differently/with different colours.

ughhh school. I am just so stupid about it sometimes.
Lately whenever I have to write papers I hate it so much. Or maybe just writing for public consumption in general cos even now I feel like I can barely get the words out. I guess I'm just really self conscious still this way. Way too much overthink! I remember when it used to come out pretty easy, but that was a while ago and I had different motivations back then.
I've joined the illustrationfriday ml but haven't done anything so far, uhh maybe I should also ask myself to write a short whatever for the illustrationfriday topic also & get some sort of juice flowing.
I really really like Blade of the Immortal.
Wow and I went to this restaurant in Philadelphia, called Yakitori Boy, and although I thought the waiters/waitresses were a little TOO dressed up, like making me laugh sort of way cos these guys would be tough and burly and wearing golden bangles and rings on every finger and giving off a cheesy costume night vibe, but dang if the food wasn't delicious. They have a karaoke bar upstairs too but we didn't check it out. If you ever go there get the okonomiyaki, which is a savory pancake usually drizzled with freakin delicious kewpie mayonnaise. AHHHHH I want it so bad right now.
Their meatballs are good too. SO juicy like there's soup inside.
And I think I finally get the point of Oleanna.
and I can't wait to go SEE UP!
and check out this HP fic. Strictus Snape and a Cure of Writer's Block I haven't finished it yet but it had me cracking up IMMEDIATELY. You don't have to wait for it to deliver and it delivers so good. |

Happy CHINESE NEW YEAR!
新年快樂!
Go rub out all that lixi from the palms of your relatives.
Just spent the day w/ my mom's side of the family. Well, not even really, since it was only for 2 hrs and not everyone was there, since they were off at the celebrations of their respective OTHER side of the family's. We ate a little, chewed the fat a little, and if you were me got ignored by grandma a little whenever you talked to her. :/ The majority of the time was spent watching this hella OLD video (shot 20 YEARS AGO! ha ..... in the car I blew off the "time really flies" attitude my mom had abt it but looking back yeah a lot of things did happen in 20 years. It's kind of funny saying that, That was 20 years ago, so neat a number like the space of two inches between the fingers of my hand. It's kind of hard imagining I've been alive this long, not cos I thought I was going to die before now but I never really think abt the passage of time itself or all the things I did or didn't do or happened or not to me that led to how I feel about myself and everything today.) ..about all the stupid things we did as kids.
Like. HAHA it showed my 9 yr old cousin, celebrating his birthday, allowed to wield a 12 inch BLADE. He was allowed to cut the cake himself, gesture at ppl (aka his fellow young cousins crowding him and eagerly hovering over the cake) when he ordered them for things (GET THE BOOOWLLLS, STOP SINGINNGGG HAPPY BIRTHDAY yousingsougly) himself, and all around pose a threat to the wellbeing of the inhabitants of his immediate society. ahahahhahaha. Even my grandma, in the video, gestured w/ the knife for things while standing in the midst of tiny running children.
and my cousin learned a song about being a cat that my uncle made her, for the benefit of his video, consecutively sing 6 billion times (a heady rounded-down number). He shot her singing it facing the camera, he shot her profile singing it, he shot her WITH the accompanying dance routine, he shot her WITHOUT, he shot her w/ her fellow bros being cats with her. And yes, since it was a performance, without a doubt, the routine included her opening with a curtsy, shouting ACTION!, doing her song and dance, and then running at the camera screaming when my uncle told her "Ok 3 more times and then we're done!" (which he artfully edited so that the shot started with her wildly screaming and running at him to suddenly singing the song again HAHAHAHA.)
I've been rereading books that I remembered that I loved from my childhood- so far, Ella Enchanted (still so good), and The View from Saturday (by EL Konigsburg, of The Mixed Up Files of...whatever her name was). Without a doubt I will never stop loving Maniac Magee, never ever, never ever ever.
Then I came home and watched Winds of September. (lovehkfilm review)
It's another coming-of-age movie featuring the loss of innocence and follows the friendship of 7 guys. I thought of Blue Spring while I watched it, but it's way less flashy and not so overtly stylish. It was very charming and very fine and feels down to earth. Its subjects were handled sensitively, and the film is a first in a planned trilogy that I'm excited to watch.
The aesthetic of its cover really appealed to me. |

ganked from Susan
The first 5 people to comment in this post get to request a sketch of a character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their drawing ability level. If you absolutely can't draw, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drabbles or icons or something instead.
HAPPY HOLI! *forehead bleeds* |

I'm playing the game Professor Layton and the Curious Village for the nintendo ds and it's SO addicting, it's literally one puzzle after another and its fandom (and art style) is really cute. the art style reminds me of that animated French film that came out a couple years ago that won an Oscar for something. The main two characters look typically anime-esque but the other characters are different from what you'd expect in terms of them resembling the main charas and look more western-style influenced. ly. This game made me really want the Nintendo DS until I finally just downloaded an emulator.
The affable Professor Layton, in position
and his boy buddy apprentice Luke with some people I haven't met yet
I'm also playing Animal Crossing but I'm ugly and bored. I guess I'm doing it wrong.
We just finished hanging out with my family today.....we ate in the afternoon and I'm STILL full. I'm kinda sad my little neices didn't show up. But I got to hold my cousin's brand new BABY! he's only a couple months old so he's pretty boring for now. but I can't wait until he grows up a little more and can play.
ughh I gotta wake up at 3am to help my mom do black friday shopping tomorrow. YAYYy.............................. |

Freerice.com has upped its repertoire to include OTHER LANGUAGES (German, Italian, Spanish, and French! tho basic, up to 10 levels compared to english's 60), geography, art, chemistry, and the multiplication table. If you don't know what it is, for each question you get right 20 grains of rice are donated to the UN World Food Program via money earned through ad sponsorship. It's fun, simple, and compelling like a hot snake temptress cos you wanna, you want to prove your smarts.
Last Saturday I drove with a couple people down to DC and marched with a lot of people to protest against Prop 8. Sources say anywhere from 5000 to 10000 participated? I have no idea, but I know from where I was I couldn't see the front or the end of the line. We walked from the reflecting pool to across from the White House, which I saw for the first time in person and which I found rather underwhelming. hahaha. It was more huge and magnificent in my mind, like all up in my face slapping, but? Maybe it was the composition of photos, or the grass, or the way it was caged up cos they were setting up the inaugural stage. Even the people I was with didn't believe it was the WH until they saw the construction set with printed all bold INAUGURAL.
The crowd was made up of a lot of young people. I would say something like 60-70%. There was some dedicated people shouting call and responses until they were hoarse. Afterwards we went back up to Baltimore to see my friend for a bit and her freakin big nice apartment with her own personal washer and dryer INSIDE and all in all it was a good time.
In other news I'm going to check out Flight of the Conchords cos of this icon post. I thought they were a band but they are a SHOW. A funny show. |
