Inspired by [personal profile] raanve's post, these are vid ideas that I've written in a Google Doc! I currently don't know how to vid, and I probably won't learn how to do it any time soon. BUT I HAVE IDEAS.

1) I am a Vampire (Juno Soundtrack) with Spike, from Buffy/Angel. This could be heinous, or serious. For sure the shot of him using his fingers as fangs must be used. The song is so ridiculous that I sometimes envision this as a study of Spike constantly trying to assert his masculinity/dominance (and usually being undercut when doing so).

2) My Sweet Prince (Placebo) to Revolutionary Girl Utena. I really would want this vid, but the song is so slow that it might not be too great? It'd have to be visually awesome to hold the viewer's attention, for sure.

3) Johnny and Mary (Placebo cover) to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Not many notes for this one, except that John is obviously John Connor (but could also be John Henry if you run short on time), and "Mary" might probably rotate between the women characters - Sarah, Cameron, etc.

4) Kings of Medicine (Placebo) to Neon Genesis Evangelion. IDK. Mostly when I hear the lyrics "They're pickin' up pieces of me," I see Rei's arm falling off her body and cackle to myself. "Put you in a bag before the day is over" could also be people/parts floating in LCL. IDK, I see the opening verse as being literal interpretations of the lyrics, but that usually bores me in vids (even though it's done ALL THE DAMN TIME with AMVs), so it could be more abstract after that.


If anyone makes these vids (or if anyone has already made them, #1 has to have been made, right?!), let me know!

ETA: In the comments at the LJ post, [livejournal.com profile] etrangere notes that #2 has been done! Link!
laceblade: (Sailor Uranus)
Yesterday, I bought a couch. It is the most expensive thing I've ever bought with my own money, aside from rent. It will be delivered some time tomorrow. YAY, COUCH!
My apartment is beginning to feel like a home; I suspect this will only improve as I continue to furnish it (a rug for the living room, a for reals coffee table, etc.)



I am still in the middle of my Sailor Moon S re-watch (which comes in the middle of an entire series!watching project). AGGGH, how did I not love Uranus & Neptune this much before?! I think Sailor Uranus is one of my favorite scouts. In the future, I will make a post about Their Lesbian Love and why fangirls of the Internets should try Sailor Moon.



Last night, I watched "Up" for the first time. THAT MOVIE DESTROYED MY SOUL, INTERNET. I mean, I loved the dogs and KEVIN and RUSSELL, but I could barely enjoy it because I cried so much. Boyfriend and I wibbled on the couch together.



I read Del Rey's Zuko's Story. The character designs are based on the actors who appeared in Failbender, but as this manga-esque comic was a prequel, the story wasn't altered and I actually enjoyed it. Most people look about the same, except for Iroh.

Del Rey also released a version of the Failbender movie, again based on character designs of the actors. I'm not sure I could stomach it the same way I did the Zuko Story though, so I probably won't do it.



I finished reading the High School Debut manga. I found this series enjoyable enough, although I wish Haruna would have resisted stereotypical gender norms a little bit more (or at all). That said, this series was overall adorable but not something I'd want to reread. I think the middle lagged a little bit; I really hated Yoh's sister. For a manga series especially, I thought that the final volume was a great ending.



I still think about Inception ALL THE TIME after seeing it last Sunday. I am a shameless Joseph Gordon-Levitt admirer. He follows Jay Smooth on Twitter! He has this website called HitRecord.org, on which people collaborate with their own original material to make awesome things. He also appears to like fanart, or will at least re-blog it.

Also watch this video advertising a benefit for the website! His voice-acting is awesome! I WANT HIM TO BE CAST IN A GHIBLI MOVIE.

If anyone has any Arthur/Ariadne fic recs, please point me to them.
The Internet is infested with Arthur/Eames. I might post my Thoughts on Fanfic in the future....I just don't get as excited by it as other people, I don't think. I don't know why, because I love the IDEA of it. Possibly it's because I don't find enjoyment in reading pornographic fic. I want emotional fulfillment! Sex just makes it weird for me.



Lastly....Can somebody please stop the Evangelion spin-offs?! Every time one comes out, I HAVE TO READ IT. It is very upsetting.

Boyfriend visited me at work, so he was around with me on my 15-minute lunch break.

Today I'm wearing a Neon Genesis Evangelion t-shirt that I got at WisCon's Clothing Swap this year.

After wandering around inside Four-Star, "window-shopping" their vast anime collection available for rental, we were on our way out.

"Hey," said the girl behind the counter. "Are you an Asuka girl? Or a Rei girl?"

"Asuka, no question," I said.

"That's the respectable answer," she said.

Once outside, Antoine says, "...Would any girl pick Rei? I thought only creepy guys would like Rei."


I assume that this is true, but perhaps the Internet can disprove me! Do any girls favor Rei over Asuka? (To be clear, I probably like Misato even more than Asuka.)
