FINALLY. FINA-FUCKIN-LY. And just like that, I care again. Yay Kubo.

Blegh so yesterday was AWFUL. I've been sick for like a week and a half, but yesterday I woke up sore as hell, couldn't even stand up without wanting to pass out, so I spent the majority of it laying on the couch sleeping. By about ten pm, I could handle being upright, but damn did it suck.

So I get online the other day, and read on one of the comms about a VAMPIRE DIARIES TV SHOW OMG. I've loved LJ Smith since I was in middle school, so even though it's obviously due to the popularity of Twilight, I was really excited it was getting it's own series. Until I saw the trailer.



( Vampire Diaries Rant to Follow )
So yeah, I don't hold high hopes for this show. Not that the book series was, y'know, all that complex or intelligent, I mean, it's YA Vampire Romance to the core, but this looks like dumbed-down pandering. WHYYYYYYYY? I hate you, CW. If it weren't for Supernatural, I would absolutely deny your existance u.u

Oh, and just in case anyone is wondering, Vampire Diaries came out about fifteen years ago. Before Twilight.

Rules
01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their LiveJournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!




1. I loves the Yoruichi and Urahara.
2. That fanart was kickass.
3. I wanted to use a wallpaper I made.
4. Did I mention I love the Yoruhara?
5. I wanted to get off the crappy default blue Windows wallpaper.

I spent a lot of today (my day off) catching up on the animu and manga. By which I mean Bleach and Nana. Nana is going as I figured it would, and since not much has actually happened in the last few chapters, I don't really have much to bitch about. Granted, I only missed maybe four of those (thanks to super!boyfriend's Animu Care Packages) so yeah, no big revelations so far. Bleach, on the other hand, I was about 30 chapters behind in and LOL KUBO WTF

( WARNING: Bleach Rant Inside )
Also, my standard complaint still stands. Needs more Yoruichi, needs more Urahara. Why aren't they there now? Are they not two of the better ass-kickers in the cast? Why go through Captains and Lieutenants like tissue paper when two durable exiles could wipe the floor with those damn espada? On the other hand, I'm also almost relieved Kubo hasn't seen fit to overuse the two of them, 'cause I'm sure he'd find some way to fuck them up. So yeah.

Quit being so goddamn lazy, Kubo.

Sigh. I'm waiting for the boyfriend to come on so we can watch something or WoW so IN THE MEANTIME!

And now the boyfriend is here, and that distraction worked nicely!

H-Hi guys ^^; It's been a loooooooooooooooooong time since I got to post here, mostly owing to the fact that I've been stuck in a trailer for what feels like a million months with only dial-up, which, as it turned out, refused to load Livejournal for me at all. Stupid dial-up. Anyway, I moved out, into my cousin Seth's place (which is the same place I was staying before I moved in with my mom) and we have cable internet here, so yay.

Not much happened in the past few months. I'm still at Walmart, though I've quickly come to realize that 80% of the managers are magnificent and/or useless douches, so that's fun. Around tax season I got a car, then about a week ago I got myself into a wreck. So I no longer have one. Uhhh, I still have my boyfriend, and still haven't seen him. It's been ah...a year and about five months now. And that's about it. Everything else is the sameoldsame. Oh, except that said boyfriend got me into World of Warcraft while I was away, which works surprisingly well on dial-up. But that's about it. Anyway, I'm so happy to have internets back though T_T I missed animu. And Angela Aki, who apparently released another album T_T And you guys! So hi~ If anyone remembers me :> I'll be catching up the next few days, I've missed a lot. Anyway~
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

So I was randomly listening to Jason Mraz' new CD (another (early) b-day present) and decided he needed some major pimping 'cause this latest album is awesome.

Favorite Songs from We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things:
If It Kills Me: This reminds me of Neil Patrick Harris' early song in Doctor Horrible. It has a very Joss-Whedon-musical feel, and so cute <3 Of course, as I listened more, I had major Doctor/Rose vibes, hence the icon:

Well, all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me

So Doctor/Rose, right?

Beautiful Mess: A sweet, slower song. Just relaxing to listen to. I love his vocals, too.

Lucky ft. Colbie Calliet: This might be my favorite song on the album. I really like Colbie's voice, and she's a perfect match for Jason on this one. A cute song for lovey-dovey couples *cough* Don't let the acoustic intro fool you, there are instruments later on. It's not "Anyone Else But You", I promise. And a cute YouTube cover. :D

I'm Yours: It's...kind of a weird song. But cute! And look! Music video in Hawaii! This song in general reminds me of Hawaii <3 Acoustic Live Version. Honestly I think I like his songs better live like that. The guy with him sings great, and they harmonize so well! Mr. Toka? :D <3

Love for a Child: A kind of sad and heartfelt divorce song. Another slow one. He's not exactly subtle, but...still effective x3

Random Bonus Songs:
The Rainbow Connection: Because covering Kermit is awesome. No really, he sings this really beautifully <3

Worldplay: ALWAYS better live. Mostly because of Mr. Toka :D

EDIT: "Mr. Toka" = Toca Rivera. He is awesome.

Okay, so a few things real quick because lol I'm supposed to be packing:

1. Don't listen to xemaya - you guys should totally read Nana because it is the best ever, especially after this week :3 I totally knew it.

2. They're packing us out today, OMG. Packing up today, moving stuff out tomorrow, so it's highly likely that I'll lose the internet today, so i just wanted to say OMG MOVING and lol HIATUS~ I dunno how long we'll be without internet in AZ, but it'll be at the very least three or four days, more likely a week or so. So yeah, I'll miss yall~! At least I can check email via phone, haha.


So wheeeeeee, ttyall later!

Stealing this meme from xemaya, because I live to pimp <3
