- So, at the risk of incurring my flist's wrath, I'm really not getting all the RAGE about the new profiles. I mean. yeah, they're not the most aesthetically pleasing things ever, but is it really RAGE worthy?
- Do you know how many times One Tree Hill has made me cry in the last three days? Three. Separate. Times. Going on the pill has sent my hormones and accompanying emotions through the fucking roof, yo.
- Saw Righteous Kill. Yeurgh, more like Righteous Boredom. Jeez, that's an hour and forty minutes of my life I ain't ever getting back. I went with my dad, and he actually fell asleep. :D
- On the topic of films, I totally saw Burn After Reading a couple of weeks ago and forgot to mention it. Guys, I want Chad/Linda squeally BFF fic so bad.
- I think I'm pretty much giving up NaNo. It just isn't coming and I'm back to college next week and I have exams to study for in January that I absolutely no joke need to pass with good grades. So... I'll try to keep picking at my (ha!) plot, but I doubt I'm going to make the target. I do, however, want to continue to focus on my original writing - does anyone know of a good community that gives prompts? And I don't just been ones that gives abstract stuff like 'cat' and 'orange', I mean quotes and the like. I found a community that looked promising last week, and then promptly forgot the name.
- Is anyone else reading Milo's comic Rest? I read issues 0 and 1 a couple of weeks back, and I just... don't know about it yet. I'm always a little iffy when celebs make comics, but it turned out well for Gerard Way. The thing that gets to me is that the main character is physically based off Milo (which is pretty much an automatic no for me) and the fact that sometimes he looks like Milo and sometimes he doesn't is really throwing me out of the story. Also, the artist draws really scary fucking noses. Seriously, I do not like and do not want. (I also finished the Marvel 1985 mini-series, and that seriously disappointed me. It started so strong and then kind of just went 'meh' and fell apart.)
- Ninja!edited to add: I finally have both volumes of Darwyn Cooke's run on The Spirit. ♥ And I read a little mini-article they had in Empire on the movie adaptation, and I just don't know how to feel about it. They're saying that though it visually looks like Sin City (argh), the story is a lot more like Dick Tracy, which I guess is an improvement from whoreswhoreswhores, but I really don't trust Frank Miller not to fuck this up. On one hand, I want to see the film when it's released so I can better criticise it, but on the other hand, I really don't want to send any money Miller's way, because I really really think this is going to end badly for us Darwyn Cooke/Spirit fans. I'm so conflicted. (But on a happy note, my mum's offered to buy some of the Eisner volumes for me for Christmas. Score!)
- Canada talk, you know you love it: for all you Canadians on my flist, is there a reputable website that lists rental properties in Vancouver? I'm trying to check out how much money I'm going to be looking to pay (read: get Dad to pay) for an apartment if I get accepted into UBC. I've only managed to find one property as of yet, twenty minutes by bus from the campus that was $900 a month. Now, that sounds pretty good to me, what with the exchange rate and me being used to the most ridiculously exorbitant property prices, but I don't know how common that is.
- One last thing - I has much pain at the moment. D: I've taken pretty strong painkillers, but they aren't working yet. My life is truly full of woe.
