and I'm just calling one more time, not to change your mind [26 Jul 2008|11:02pm] vampirespider [ mood | optimistic ] [ music | Bobby Jean - Bruce Springsteen ] So, I was browsing today in my favourite bookshop and stumbled across this. I promptly dragged it (it's huge and has a slip-cover and is hardback and, you guys, seriously) over to the in-store coffee shop and started browsing. And man, it's beautiful, it really is. So many pictures, and so many old pictures (it kind of weirds me out how nice Steven looks with long hair. Also how much Bruce occasionally looks like a woman). And it's full of quotes, including one which almost exactly echoes a sentence in the story I've been writing. This amuses me way too much. (I may have sort of bought the book. From Amazon, of course - in the bookshop it was 469 kr, and I do not have that kind of money for a book. Still. On one hand, unnecessary purchase. On the other hand, pictures! And fold-outs. I'm a little bit in love) Speaking of things that amuse me, incidentally, I've spent a more-than-sensible amount of time pondering whether any of Bruce's performances made onto TV in the 70s/80s and if so, did the kiss with Clarence make it on, and if so would that be the first instance of a m/m interracial kiss on American TV? This is totally a valid point to think about, I feel. Also! At the bookstore, I did end up buying The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, which I read this afternoon - I've read a couple of the chapter before in the Donald Duck comics (I may be wrong, but I think the whole thing was serialized in Denmark in 1997 during one of the anniversaries), but it was brilliant to read through it all at once and see it unfold properly. It really is an amazing piece of work and hugely entertaining, and it freaks me out a little how connected I am to these characters, you know? Like, I was picking up on all the stupid in-jokes and recognizing characters before they were identified. And it was emotional - I got a little choked up when Scrooge leaves Scotland for Duckburg, and also when the family storms out (of course, then there's the whole Donald thing, which. DONALD!). Also, how awesome is Hortense? She's not a character with a lot of page-time, but she's such a character, I was incredibly endeared to her from the start. And she kicks ass! She's totally almost-scarier than Scrooge himself (or Buck. Snerk). And of course, Huey, Dewey and Louie at the end are ace. Both this and the immense amount of Springsteen I'm listening to had got me thinking about American identity, which has got me reading A Home at the End of the World and thinking about identification in that. Which means - drum roll, please - I have started my dissertation! This is exciting for me. ETA: I am ridiculously endeared by this one moment during The Rising tour DVD during Ramrod, when Bruce is being a total dork and Steven just looks at Patti like, he's your husband. It makes me laugh, don't judge me. 1 covered| I'll cover you

Just some fandom musings... [26 Jul 2008|05:03pm] aguynamedgoo [ mood | masochistic ] Avatar: the Last Airbender: The only show that can shoot my 'ships dead and totally fuck over my favorite character in the end, and I still adore it. Now that's quality. Hurt me, show! Hurt me so good! I'll cover you

Random tidbits. [26 Jul 2008|02:58pm] technicolornina [ music | Sweet Transvestite - Rocky Horror Picture Show ] TO mellamomuyloco, waichimak, Britt-chan, and Em: As far as I can tell, airfare + hotel for 2 nights would cost us about $250 each for Otakon (but we'd miss part of Friday and part of Sunday). We should book ASAP after dates are announced, which I've been told will be sometime soon after Ota08 is over. I can book if you guys want, but I'd need the money to do it with (I don't make *that* much), so do you guys think you can have it by mid-September-ish? If not, please let me know ASAP. TO EVERYONE ELSE: ljbookstop. You should join it. I'll cover you

[26 Jul 2008|03:30pm] aikei_chan [ mood | angry ] My parents are abso-fucking-lutely ridiculous.  So I have two friends that I have to buy birthday presents for.  I'm at my dads this week so my dad SHOULD pay for it (as I don't have an income).  That's how its supposed to be and how its always been.  But now, on top of saying that my mom has to buy EVERYTHING that I need for college, no exceptions, he also says she has to pay for this.  My mom does not make nearly as much money as my dad.  And this isn't the first time this has happened.  Now my mom won't let me spend 19 bucks to get one of my best friends a birthday present and my dad is being an asshole and saying he won't spend any money on me at all. This would be so much better if this was the FIRST time this happened.  What the fuck. 4 covered| I'll cover you

fic: gold in the air of summer [26 Jul 2008|12:41pm] measuringlife [ mood | tired ] [ music | joy wants eternity ] My beta is busy (shabbos, grandmother) so I don’t want to bug her right now. Apologies for anything I missed? Also, for blacklacelily and r-amythest. THAT CHAIR IS BIG ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF YOU, SCOOT OVER. GOOD GIRLS SHARE. ..I think the sheer amount of random sleeping in this fic shows how tired I was. MY SUBCONSCIOUS HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS. title: gold in the air of summer theme/day: August 7 [2008]: Somewhere just left of the point of nowhere. fandom: FE 9/10 pairing: Ike/Soren summary: While in other lands, with the person most important to him, Soren finally finds the happiness he sought. Ike/Soren post RD. wordcount: just barely hitting the 2,000 mark, I think. A/N: post RD traveling fic number 38208032, I have so many of those in note form or half-finished form, I swear. Kudos to RD for giving such a deliciously open ending, good fodder for inspiration, I suppose. For r-amythest and blacklacelily (afoolintherain) ( I didn’t know if you wanted to | but I came to pick you up | but you didn’t even hesitate | and now you & me are on our way | I think we brought everything we need | don’t look back | don’t think of the other places you should’ve been | it’s a good thing you came with me ) 9 covered| I'll cover you

Chronologically situated.. [26 Jul 2008|11:59am] baka_gami For some reason my neighbours don't understand that playing bad radio really loudly during the day isn't okay. Also, studying is really brutal during the summer but I came across this gem and it's made my morning that much better. ( Read more... ) Nat xo 1 covered| I'll cover you

My Navy Cousin, Keith [25 Jul 2008|11:34pm] angeldevilgirl [ mood | thankful ] He's been away for so long I don't even know how long he's been away. He's signed onto AIM a few times and I talked to him, but it was never enough. I never really realized how much I missed him. Lord... it hurts now that I've talked to him again. He got a webcam for his computer in Texas, and though we couldn't get the video to work, we got the sound to work. He talked to me and I typed back. We thought about the times when we were younger. I never realized how close I really was to him. Then this was really the first time in years where we could talk to each other and not really worry about what our parents would think. He spoke his mind, and I spoke mine, not very fast and as much as I would have said... but it was nice. Keith, my cousin, is going to be back in August for about twelve days. Is that even enough? Hell, I think I'm going to be in school. But to see him again would make me feel so much better. Keith has always been to me, the big brother I never had. Yeah he would run me over with his bike, XD, or tell me that Godzilla lived under my favorite park, but I loved him. We used to have sleepovers a lot, when I was in junior high even. He would come over to my daddy's house on the weekends and we'd eat our cousin's chocolate covered coffee beans, and watch TV. When we were really young we used to play with his model cars. Then my freshman year of high school. Heh, he was a senior, and of course I was a freshman. But he didn't care. He let me tag along with him around school. He let me go into his tutoring class and do homework, then afterward we'd go and get lunch and I'd eat with him and his friends. A senior and a freshman. He easily could have told me to bugger off, but he let me stay with him as long as I needed, till I found friends of my own. Then last year he wasn't there. It was a little strange not being able to see him in the halls or anything, and I saw less of him. I think it might have been a lot less than I ever had. I missed him, yet I didn't know it. Then when I found out he was going into the Navy, I didn't really realize how much I was going to miss him. When he went to the boot camp, I still didn't realize. I hadn't seen much of him at all in the last year so it wasn't really affecting me. But then he got his webcam for his computer. Man, that hit hard. The whole conversation didn't really do anything to me until he decided to go to bed. Keith, my cousin, my brother had been gone for too long. I missed him terribly. My heart ached and I wished I could go back to the times when we were little, and playing tag, or riding bikes. He's going to Cuba after he comes back for twelve days. Cuba... farther than he was during camp or now that he's in Texas. How much am I going to miss him then? Will I even know I'm missing him? When will be the next time I see him? I hope I see him. I want to see him. I miss him. I love you, Keith. Be safe. Come back and hang out with me, okay? I can be cool, I promise. XD I love you. 2 covered| I'll cover you

[25 Jul 2008|11:16pm] aikei_chan [ mood | complacent ] So I'm single again. SO I tried to distract myself with my Joker makeup! really, this was just a scar test. I realized AFTER I put my scar makeup on that I forgot my makeup bag at my moms and that Janet still has my white makeup. So the white is baby powder, the black is eyeliner pencil so not good, and the red...is dark lipstick with sparkles XD SO not correct. BUT THE SCARS, OH THE SCARS 8D ( Wanna know how I got these scars? ) and here, have a video~ 'SIX? D:' 21 covered| I'll cover you

Updates and such [25 Jul 2008|07:58pm] alkow [ mood | bored ] I need a lovely person who would be willing to make me a Dennis Farina/Joe Fontana mood theme. I would be forever grateful. I can't make graphics of any kind to save my life, otherwise I'd do it myself. Anyone? I think I'm gonna start redoing my journal again. Now that I can manage basic CSS, I can't stop changing it. I went back to see my psychologist yesterday. It's been about a year and a half since I last saw her. Why did I go back? Nervous breakdown on Monday. Yeah that was...not fun. Anyway, at the end of our session, she asked me if I wanted to see a psychiatrist. I take Cymbalta, and I told her that I thought maybe my dosage should be increased. My doctor prescribed the medicine, but psychologists tend to believe that primary care physicians shouldn't or can't deal with things like this. I don't know--I really don't want to see another doctor, especially not an actual shrink (I mean, unless it's Skoda). We'll see how things go, I guess. School starts back in exactly a month. I'm pretty excited, actually. I'll be taking Italian and Criminology. It should be a really fun semester. Those of you who know me know I love me some eBay. Sometimes, though, it angers me. Last night, I was bidding on this amazing pair of red suede Gucci loafers (some of you will get the inside joke there). There were 2 hours left to the auction, and no one had bid on them. I was really excited. 15 minutes until the end, BOM! Bidding war. I did not win the shoes, which made me very sad. I really wanted those shoes. They were GORGEOUS. If any of you are wondering what to buy me for Christmas, may I suggest this? I have to be up at the ungodly hour of 6AM again this Sunday. This shit has got to stop. 1 covered| I'll cover you

I don't actually know how unpopular these particular opinions are, but nevertheless they're ones I don't see being talked about much. ( under here ) 4 covered| I'll cover you

[25 Jul 2008|02:06pm] aikei_chan [ mood | tired ] So the final step in my laptops journey to being fixed has begun.  My dad mailed it out this morning.  Now, I have to wait more than a week to get it back D: SO I HAVE TO MAKE DO WITH THE FEW COMPUTERS I WILL HAVE ACCESS TO D: am working on my Nolanverse!Poison Ivy application now.  I like it, but I think I need someone to read it XD *shrug*  *sigh* I miss my laptop already >: 6 covered| I'll cover you

And also works on many levels. --- You know, I totally knew how to fix this story yesterday. Sadly that was at 3 am, and now I've completely lost any sense of what those corrections were. THANKS BRAIN. THANKS A WHOLE LOT. 2 covered| I'll cover you
