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.

I thought it would be cool to make a post of media I'm currently consuming. I think this is illustrative of why it takes me so long to do things.

Watching
--Avatar: The Last Airbender. This is a re-watch for me. With my Netflix account, I can watch things streaming on my Boyfriend's Wii, so we've been watching this series (his first time). I've built up a huge queue, so I think we'll find an anime series to watch once we're done with ATLA (Gurren Lagann, finishing Noein, or something).

--Warehouse 13. Or at least, I will be. I just finished Season 2 of True Blood on Netflix, so Warehouse 13 is next. I'm watching it solely because of it being co-produced by Jane Espenson and having other Buffy writers.

--Azumanga Daioh. This is a re-watch. I love how this series successfully captures the randomness and hilarity of high school and a group of friends. It doesn't capture angst, but I don't really want to relive that anyway. Once the Azu re-watch is finished, I'd like to finish my Sailor Moon go-through. I had made it through the first two seasons and then stalled out on S. But I will persevere! I'm excited to re-watch SuperS, and to see Stars for the first time.

--Shugo Chara! Sort of. It's really irritating to watch something streaming on my computer, I think. I need to delete some files. And....get a new laptop. I'm not sure when this will actually occur.

Reading
--High School Debut. Manga series. I own 3 volumes out of this series, and between that and the library, am working on reading 1-13. I don't love it quite as much as I remember? Haruna's insecurities are grating on me a bit. Still, I'll make it through 13 and if I feel the same way, I'll sell the ones I own. Making room for MOAR MANGA.

--Little Queen. Manhwa series. I own 1-7, volume 8/end was never released in the U.S. and I can't fin it anywhere online, ;_; I'm not loving this as much as I remember. I think that I like the artwork most of all, but the plot seems a bit confusing (aside from the central plot, with which I've been beaten over the head). The payoff of the end of the series will be the deciding factor for me, and if I never ever find it, I'm going to be pretty sad.

--A Theology of Liberation by Gustavo Gutierrez. I checked out a ton of books on liberation theology from the library and this seems like the first one to go with. I'd like to know more about liberation theology and learning more about Latin American recent history. Am concerned that the text of all these books will be too dense and theology-laced.

--House of Night series by P.C./Kristin Cast. Heinous.

Webcomics
--Unsounded [here is the DW feed I made for it! Be warned it's paced like a graphic novel, not a webcomic.]

--The Meek

--The Phoenix Requiem (I just started this one, so not caught up yet.)
