"I want real big." I'll bet you do, Val. I'll bet you do...

Seriously, were they TRYING to put in as much sexual tension/innuendo as possible? And Val totally has some power-play thing going on here. Or am I thinking too much into it?

Dangit, WHY do I love the DCOM Brink! so much?! It's so ridiculously lame (seriously, Team X-Blades? Lame. Soul Skating? Lame.)! And WHY is there such epic UST between Brink and Val (also, Peter may or may not have a crush on Brink. I'm not sure yet...)?! AND WHY DO I WANT TO DO A NEWSIES CROSSOVER (the Newsies would mainly be skateboarders, btw)?! Why does this movie come on right when I want to start writing something, so my thoughts get all diverted as to this weird crossover? WHY?!

So many questions, yet so few answers!

(Actually, I'm like, 80% sure this entire crossover idea is to facilitate "Jack as a Skateboarder," which I think would be sexyfine.)

Also, Erik von Detten is a hottie. I can say this because I thought so back when this movie first came out, wherein I was 11. So it's not creepy. ACTUALLY! THAT'S NOT TRUE! I've thought he was a hottie ever since I first saw the tv remake of Escape to Witch Mountain featuring him and THE GUY WHO PLAYS VAL! Who I also thought was a hottie (note: I was like...8 when that movie was made, so it's not creepy that I was scamming on a 13 year old)!

Kyle Reese/Marcus Wright are so in love. Love love love. Seriously, the slashness in that movie is one of the biggest reasons why I found it pretty enjoyable to watch. There definitely needs to be more fic of them. And I might just MAYBE ship some one-sided Kyle/John. Cause you know Kyle has a total ridiculous crush on him.

Uh, Spoilers ahoy, I guess.

That being said, I liked the movie more the second time I saw it. I don't know why, I think I just liked all of the characters a lot more (especially John Connor). I was still really annoyed by the Blair character, though. She was pretty much pointless, and it was kind of hard to believe that she was a soldier, since she seemed a little too eager to get rescued by Marcus, and then disobey orders to let loose a TERMINATOR!!!!! But I did like Marcus, I thought he was pretty badass. And I LOVED Teen!Kyle Reese. And I enjoyed all the catch-phrase shout-outs (especially because it wasn't just random catch-phrasing, it makes sense!).

I think that the second time I watched it, the time-line stuff made more sense for me or something. Like, it totally makes sense that the machines would know that Kyle was John's father. Since Sarah was blabbing away at a mental institution, of course they would have that on some kind of file somewhere. And it totally makes sense as a precursor to them trying to mess things up by sending Terminators back in time, since trying to mess up the timeline in the present didn't work. AND I liked how the machines basically set John Connor up as their arch-nemesis.

So, basically, while there were specific things that I thought could have been done better, I still thought it was pretty good. I think I dug how it fit into everything big-picture-wise, so I can overlook dumb specific things. Plus, the tasty men helped quite a bit.

I just dled the entire Hook soundtrack. Because I couldn't find my VHS of it (WHYY?!?!). Seriously though, Hook is awesome, and the soundtrack kicks all kinds of ass. It makes me have nostalgia-flashbacks like WHOA. REMEMBER WHEN THEY'RE ALL HAVING THE IMAGINARY DINNER?!?! RU-FIO! RU-FIO! RU-FI-OOOOOOOOOO!

In short, Hook rules. I don't get why people hate on it. It's fun and full of adventure and heartfelt moments, and badassery. Sure it's kinda corny, but that what makes it great. It is awesome in its corniness. It's corniness takes no prisoners.

Actually, that wasn't very short at all. But it doesn't matter, cause Hook is super-awesome.

Also, it's weird that Rufio is also Zuko. Weird and awesome. That is all.

Okay, Phineas and Ferb is totally my new favorite show on TV. Seriously, this show is hilarious and amazing. Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus are probably my two favorite characters. They are just too hilarious. And some of the songs are really ridiculously catchy (not to mention the fact that I constantly have "Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated!" stuck in my head). Basically, the show is cute and hilarious, and everyone should watch it!

Been home in Florida lately, so I haven't really had much time to actually write/work on stuff. BUT, I have managed to work on something!

So, here is a snippet of this ficlet that I have going. It was originally supposed to be done in OCTOBER, because October was unofficial "write what you hate month" at the Ol' Newsies Homestead, and I used to hate this sort of plot. Also, I decided that the Newsies fandom totally needs more crack, so this was my attempt to help bring a little.

So, without further ado, I bring you...A snippet from...(and this is just a working title...)

( Jack Can Be A Girl's Name )

I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THAT DEV PATEL AND FREIDA PINTO ARE DATING!!!!!!!!!!!! AJUHWLUYVYFELHJ BSJKHVKASV!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEE! THIS MAKES ME SO RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY! WHOO!!!!

This is TOTALLY why people tinhat. Because SOMETIMES IT COMES TRUE!

Gah! <3!

So, One Glorious Day (tm) I'm going to write an epic Newsies AU where Weasel just gives David his 20 papes, and EVERYTHING CHANGES! David DOESN'T befriend Jack, and they DON'T strike (despite...you know, the fact that the strike actually happened in real life even though Jack Kelly and David Jacobs weren't there since they are entirely fictional...*cough*) and something dramatic happens where Jack and David just feel empty in their lives, and then they meet up when they're older (for some reason...I'm a little sketchy on the details), and FINALLY THEY FEEL COMPLETE(!) and they do...something! Probably have sex. For some reason (again, sketchy on the deets).

Sooooo...yeah. One Glorious Day (tm)...

Woohoo! I'm actually getting like...PLOTTY THINGS to happen in my Newsies AU Crossover! And I've got like...THINGS WRITTEN! GASP! LIKE...ACTUAL SCENE BITS! And I'm working on my outline now and it's...coming along pretty well. Shockingly.

This is a big deal for me!

Thus far the main characters are...
Jack
and
David
(surprise, surprise)

With...
Race
Spot (heh...almost wrote *spit*...)
Mush
Skittery
and Boots
...in supporting roles.

And with guest appearances by Crutchy(!)...and probably other people...definitely Medda. Probably Blink, too. Possibly Denton. And a variety of familiar villains!

I'm neglecting to say what exactly the Crossover is now, even though I had previously talked about this idea, just to maintain a slight element of surprise when (... or if *crosses fingers*) I finally do write it. Even though it is its own story, and pretty much just takes place in the same Universe as canon, I don't want to get all spoilery and whatnot.

Hm...maybe if I finish this fic, I'll do some sort of one-shot or something of a proper cross-over. That would be fun, but also intimidating.

THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING! Just recently I took AOL off of my computer, then put it back on again. And for some reason, ALTHOUGH THIS HASN'T HAPPENED THE LAST 80 TIMES I'VE DONE THIS...I LOST ALL OF MY AOL FAVORITES!

Which, at first, wasn't too big of a deal. Annoying, but I could live with it, and I <3 Firefox now anyways. BUT!

Just recently I was in the mood for some delicious Nolanverse Batman/Joker (I just watched TDK again, and I swear, if I could watch that movie in IMAX for the rest of my life, I totally would), and I had a whole bunch of stories that I loved favorited. BUT THEY WERE ALL ON AOL! SO NOW...I don't have the stories, and I can't remember their names, and I have no freaking clue how to find them again (especially this really long epic one that was AWESOME and I desperately wish I could find again! D:)!

So, to sum this all up, AOL FUCKING SUCKS AND I AM SAD and ANGRY!

:

I just discovered J2 fic that is set in a Newsies!AU. This is...like...the biggest mindfuck for me. There aren't supposed to be Newsies!AUs! Everything else is supposed to be an AU for Newsies! I like how I managed to stumble upon another fandom that is totally rife and accepting of copious and awesome AUs. I sure know how to pick em.

Here's the fic, if anyone's interested: Seize the Day by arlad Warning for RPF of Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. Also warning for quality since I haven't actually read any of this thing yet, so I don't know how good it is. I've been too busy trying to reconcile stumbling upon a slash AU of a fandom I love within a fandom I love. TOO. MUCH. WEIRDNESS!

Uh, in other news (almost wrote newsies, heh) I've actually been trying to get off my ass and WRITE lately. I have something that I've been working on quite a bit and it seems to be coming along...surprisingly smoothly (it's a AU for Newsies, surprisingly. Also a crossover. Kinda.)

You are like...trying to break the World Record as to the most amount of crack in a single season. Seriously, I'm 78.2% sure you've just been poaching storylines from the internet. AND I LOVE IT!

Here's a delicious meme!



Da Rules:

1) Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The article title is the name of your band.

2) Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The final words of the last quote on your page are the title of your album.

3) Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The FOURTH image on the page is your album cover. You can choose to go to http://www.flickr.com/groups/flickrsocial/pool/ if you prefer a more dynamic, less philosophical cover.

4) Design your cover. Layout and presentation are up to you.

5) Post your cover, along with these instructions. In the comments your friends will tell you what kind of music you play and the name of the album's single.

For the record, my band's name is a Chinese painter from the Ming Dynasty, and my quote is from Walden. Altogether it comes out pretty snazzy. For the record, in my head the band is like a poppy-rock band that sounds all happy, but when you think about the lyrics they are really depressing. Sort of ala Motion City Soundtrack, except more dancey.

Man, it was fun to mess around w/ photoshop again. I haven't done that in a while. And I should totally be studying for my programming exam tomorrow. UGH. BUT I HATE STUDYING. Playing online and listening to the new Decemberists CD is just so much more fun.

YESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!!

I'M SO HAPPY!

And to celebrate here is some Xzibit-themed hilarity. I'm like waaaaay too late for this bandwagon...but nonetheless...IT'S TOO DAMN FUNNY!

My favorites are this one, this one, this one...thiiiissss oneeee...andthisone!

It's all made even better by the fact that he hates them! Oh Xzibit...you're hilarious dawg.

One glorious day. But it is not this day. Which is why I'm at the library after my piano class doing stuff (...important things...like buying Thursday at midnight Watchmen IMAX tickets...) rather than being at home asleep. I want to punch Verizon in the face.

In the meantime I've been catching up with reading and writing stuff. Which is good, and it makes me sad that internet so completely sucks up my time that I can only get stuff done when it is dead :< So I might just cut back on it when it does come back alive.

		I will marry Robert Downey Jr..
		After a wild honeymoon, We will settle down in San Francisco in our fabulous House.
		We will have 8 kid(s) together.
		Our family will zoom around in a Hot Pink Semi-truck.
		I will spend my days as a Rockstar, and live happily ever after.

So Verizon decided about five months ago that it would be an evil company and send us the router/modem that would completely break and die within five months instead of the usually FIVE YEARS TO NEVER. Which means that I am now internetless at my apartment (I'm at school right now, and god I love wifi) until at least tomorrow, but probably Thursday. Luckily we're getting a shitload of money back and don't have to pay our bill...but still. Come Verizon. Stop sucking so much.

Anyways, moving on to more fun things...THE OSCARS! I thought it was great, definitely one of the more entertaining ones I can remember. I have serious love for Hugh Jackman now. That opening number was just hilarious and awesome. You are Wolverine. Live it and love it. Some very important points:
1) SLUMDOG WON! YES YES YES YES YES!
2) I desperately, desperately wish that Freida Pinto and Dev Patel would get together IRL. Seriously, they are just too adorable together. And hearing about Anil Kapoor talking about how they had so much chemistry made me so amused and happy. Also Freida looked AMAZING in that dress. So beautiful.
3) God I love Slumdog Millionaire.
4) HEATH! THANK GOD YOU WON! Seriously, if anyone else had won they would have been hated forever. You definitely deserved it.
5) Sean Penn...you were really good in Milk, but...come on...Mickey!
-And those were pretty much my only thoughts. Oh, and I'm also happy that Dark Knight won at least one technical award. WTG!

Uh...I had something else that I wanted to talk about...OH YEAH! HEROES! Man, Heroes was pretty ridiculous for a while...but it seems at least like people are starting to get rid of the idiot ball more often. I'm actually ENJOYING it and cheering often instead of just constantly going "Wtf? Why did that just happen?" And Peter Petrelli was actually being a badass and saved Matt, AND SHUT DOWN NOAH BENNETT'S ESCAPE!!! WTF PETER?!?! WHEN DID YOU GET COOL?! And Mohinder did something cool instead of just being a tool! Hooray! And now Claire's hiding a cute boy in her room (who I think kinda looks like Peter...) and Sylar has a side-kick (Sy-dekick?)! Awesome! And Matt was being a badass and getting inside Noah's head, and actually getting useful information!!! And Daphne isn't dead...woohoo?

I am seriously loving the idea of the heroes getting together and fighting back against whatever forces are trying to get them. I wish that Matt, Mohinder, and Peter could've stayed together as a little team for longer. And Peter walking outside of the hotel room to find out Noah's dirty-doings was so hot. It's great to see Peter actually DOING something instead of just whining about how much Nathan sucks (which nobody should ever talk about again on the show because it's just become a moot point).

I need to get more into the Heroes fandom. I'm sure there are some good fics out there...I just need to find them...

I got to be in the studio audience for Conan today! AND IT WAS AMAZING! Martha Stewart was there, and Nathan Lane and Mayor Bloomberg! And it was SO AMAZING! And I showed up on camera! Waaaaay in the background. And it was a hilarious episode. And I love living in New York where it's actually possible to go see shows. And I love Conan. And I wish that he wasn't leaving :

I don't know if anyone really cares that much, but in honor of the holiday I decided to make a Valentine's Day Javid Fanmix! I tried to base the tracks around a story of how their relationship changes and evolves into something more. The tracks are...

1) Fall Back Down - Rancid
2) It Had To Be You - Motion City Soundtrack
3) Umbrella - Manic Street Preachers
4) Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon
5) Suspension - Mae
6) After Hours - We Are Scientists
7) Hands Down - Dashboard Confessional
8) Be Still My Heart - The Postal Service
9) I Melt With You - Mest
10) Lovers of Loving Love - The Aquabats

Hope anyone who DLs it enjoys it!

Man, I should totally be doing something more productive now. OH WELL! Music rules.

“'Because' isn’t a reason! I never bothered you about anyone, ever, even when you were with my sister, and I hook up with ONE GUY and you flip out! Jesus, I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition!”

Suddenly, and completely without warning (although there was a suspiciously appropriate dramatic sound cue) three men in bright red uniforms burst onto the bus.

“NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!”

...I'm not even going to explain this. This is so much better with absolutely no context. Make your own inferences. Sometimes my brain greatly amuses me.
