last week♥

- I spent about ten minutes going up & down in one of the best luxury elevators in the city. mostly for pictures, but also because the heights make me feel safer than anywhere else I've been.

- then I slipped into chinatown for a spell to take pictures. & I realised that while I love chinatown in the heat of the afternoon, when the energy is at its highest there, it is even more beautiful in the early morning, where only the true denizens of the district are out, with very few tourists around. it's a subtle magick, but it's still there.

- I wrote river!fic. well, a snippet of river!fic, really. I should go & edit it a bit & post it eventually. river, a friend & riding in a glass elevator. preseries.

- Okay, this ep reminded me of something [livejournal.com profile] paw_tracks said in a comment once, about how perfect john sheppard would be in an I am legend setting & I think this totally backs her theory up.

- old!rodney was awesome. srsly. I want him to be my grandfather.

- seeing samantha carter in ANY UNIVERSE being dead just chills me to the bone. I don't want my sammie dead! but at least in that timeline, she went heroically & bravely. but still, NO DEAD SAM PLZ.

- LOLZ AT WOOLSEY IN HIS REALLY BADLY WORN ATLANTIS UNIFORM. WHAT THE FUCK. ::dies giggling::

- jenny & rodney getting together? um . . . well, if john was dead, then I won't make a big deal out of it. at least he was happy!

- jewel actually made me get a little sniffly during the bedside scene with david.

- WTF JEANNIE WAS BARELY ON. but still, she WAS on, so I should be happy for that, yes? yay jeannie miller!

- everything that happened after rodney left atlantis & the sgc & after jenny kicked, made me think of the fic freedom's just another word for nothing to lose. it was so.depressing & it made me so sad to see rodney mckay like that, but still, I loved watching it unfold.

- HAHA GENERAL LORNE, OMG NISHA, HOW HAPPY DID THAT MAKE YOU?

- overall, this whole ep made me think of the drifting classroom, what with new lantea being a desert a millenia after the atlantis expedition arrived. & john sheppard = totally sho takamastu! FTW.

- dudes, ever since we learned teyla's pregnancy is connected to michael's little science projects, have I been the only one who thinks that teyla's baby = sga's answer to vala & adria?

so, overall? AWESOME SEASON FINALE & WHEN THE FUCK IS SEASON FIVE GETTING HERE?

- I'm halfway through the manga series gals! ran kotobuki = my idol. also, I've started watching the anime of it, which is supergals! ♥♥♥ ran, aya & myiu are so.much.awesome. I can't wait to see the rest of season one!

- the final volume of the drifting classroom is out this month. OMG FINALLY. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THAT SERIES ENDS.

- I also got volume nine of NANA this month.

- TAKUMI NEEDS TO DIE, I'M SORRY. he split my girls up, therefore, somebody needs to take a flamethrower to his head.

- reira = layla in english? now I want to hear that song.

- I'm worried about nana! blackouts are NOT good things.

- hachi = cutest engaged thing EVER. even if she is engaged to a cockwaffle like takumi!

- NOBU!!!!!! ::clings to him::

- volume nine = MOST DEPRESSING IN THE SERIES, FOR SRS. I felt so depressed after I finished it.

- I HAVE A DATE WITH THE BOYTHING THIS WEEKEND!!! yes, I bought a second new skirt for it. now I need to find a top. wheeee, I'm seeing my boything!

- THE ARK OF TRUTH IS OUT TOMORROW & I'M GOING TO SEE ABOUT BUYING IT. ::licks daniel & vala::

- I've been watching the colbert report & I do think I've gone & found my latest obsession. the last few minutes of last week's ep? FTMFW.

& I'm kind of shocked to discover that my mummy likes stephen colbert. she does! & I somehow did not know this.

- I was painfully reminded of why I cannot go out of the house without my hair straightened: IT LOOKS LIKE HERMIONE GRANGER'S HAIR HAD AN AFFAIR WITH COSMO KRAMER'S HAIR & MY HAIR WAS THE RESULT. O.M.G. it is THAT frightening. It's entirely possible I scared small children with it.

- I've become slightly obsessed with getting a pair of loose socks. THESE SOCKS, I WANTS THEM NAO PLZ. BADLY.

- I finally got a flickr! I'm riverdresses over there, so if you have a flickr, please tell me so I can add you!

- I missed this song. I've been listening to it a lot lately. it makes me ruminate of the similarites & differences between simon tam & daniel jackson, which I don't mind doing. & plus, daniel's getting this song in the second part of his mix.

- & I miss firefly. I want some firefly please!

edit: o! & because I forgot this earlier, a meme!

I'm such a Nana/Hachi shipper. :(

Layla (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4i-cOv69tw&feature=related). Oh man, I LOVED THAT SONG and was obsessed with it for ages.

meep! me too. :D ANOTHER REASON WHY TAKUMI MUST DISAPPEAR. SOON. (I actually had a dream where some crazy fan of his mowed him down with a car. Everyone except hachi was happy for that, me included!)

I must find a copy of that song! (wouldn't it be AEWESOME if OLIVIA covered it? she IS anime!reira, after all. :P)

Oh man, I could die happy if OLIVIA did cover that song! Did you know she's doing a song for a compilation CD coming out? Her song's called "Bleeding Heart" and it sounds pretty promising (http://community.livejournal.com/space_halo/165642.html).

Oh wow, the lyrics though... I'm now imagining Anna Tsuchiya/Livi Real Person Femmeslash. My mind is a dark, dark place.

Eeeep, I didn't! I can't wait to hear it when it comes out! (I NEED MORE OLIVIA.)

I may or may not have thought about that while waiting for a train last week . . . I THINK IT SHOULD EXIST. ::cough::

i bought vol9 while in NYC, betsy, and dammit i nearly cried, like, 5 times. i hate how there are all these hints that the story won't end happily~~
i want to reach into the book and smack takumi silly (which is why i haven't managed to see the more than halfway through the second movie. damn him!)
also, shin/reira♥ just, so cute~~!

T____T I'm not on because I has sooo much work to do! This week is like, full of tests and stuff >.< But I only have three days left! Then we can party for a week and a bit!

Okkkkk, meme-ness!

1. Daniel of course :P Because you seem like the kind of dreamy person who often has their head in the clouds (in a good way of course!)

2. Umm, Rodney coz sometimes you kinda panic and go into Rodney-like... what's the word... rants? no... I can't think of the word... But you know what I mean

3. See now I can't pick between Kaylee and River. So I'm going to say a mix of both, Kaylee because of the strawberries, and cuteness, and you're totally a girly girl :P and River because she's awesome and is kind of like Daniel, which is like you!

4. I'm gonna say Sam, because you're not at all like Dean :P (And I don't really watch SPN so I don't know that many other characters)

1. Casual!Sam, otherwise known as out-of-the-BDUs-Sam. Because I like to think of her as the girly version of Sam and while she's still kickass and awesome, she wears dresses and heels. That's kind of how I see you, a kickass and strong personality in a pretty dress. (Oh, this sounds like it could be misinterpreted so bad. *facepalm*)

2. Rodney. Intelligent and looked up to, if obsessive and a little bit odd at times. (Then again, aren't we all a little odd?) Also: utterly adorable.

3. Inara. Strong, beautiful and emotional. She's not ashamed of who she is, and while I do think there are times where she might questions certain decisions that she has made I think she realises that she made more right than wrong ones.

4. This is hard but I would have to say Sam. Level-headed and smart. Cautious when he has to be, yet able to relax when he knows that things are safe.

5. OMG, I've never actually watched a whole episode of Seinfeld. *hides*

Also, I think I should mention it here, but I intend to (finally) follow up on what I said many weeks ago in response to the "phone me!"-thing. I've texted you because I really don't know how much it's going to cost me. And I'm lame and I'm not sure it's going to work. (...I'm a month behind. /o\)

eeep! I never thought of myself as having any Samantha-esque factors in my personality! (Sam's crazy strong & I'm so weak & shy!) But awww, thankyoooou!

& OMG Rodney too? ::blushes like mad::

::tackleglomps you:: BUT SEE! YOU know what Seinfeld IS, unlike too many other people! :D

& I got your texty! I even tried to answer back, but Samantha is MEEEEAN & would not send it! But thankyou for your sweet text! :D

YAY YOU ON FLICKR. I just added you.

I miss firefly too. =( I want MORE firefly!

I WANT SEASON 5 NOW.
And whatever happened to Chuck? Who did he marry? Did he lead SG-1? What became of Zelenka? Did Jack and Daniel ended doing the horizontal tango in the gate room? Did Vala and Mitchell channel their Farscape selves and ended up together? THE EPISODE WAS CLEARLY INCOMPLETE

OOH I want those socks now. Yes. Now.
