nooz 2 me

i was unaware that morning musume had a leader. i was under the impression that it was a gaggle of girls - who could occasionally carry a tune (in a bucket), but was much better at impersonating "the two left feet brigade".

sorry, felt like being cruel and heartless.

i'm probably going to taco bell for that.

their bean burritos are pretty good, providing all they put on them is beans.

you know, when i was a bit younger, i actually looked forward to christmas.

now i don't care.

it probably doesn't help much that i have a better understanding of why people do what they do, and it usually isn't for anyone else's benefit.

i didn't ask for anything for christmas, though the female parental unit did ask me.

it was nice of her.

guess what the wannabe nurse got from her for christmas.

the female parental unit paid her cell phone bill.

my monitor was ever-so-slightly cheaper.

what a maroon.

at least i have something to show for it.

okay, i'm trying, i really am...

i just watched the cast from the sailor moon (live) musical sing "jingle bells".

i thought that the costumes and things from the live-action series were... uh ...nauseating (and they were), but these... these just scare me!

though i have to admit, they can sing.

i'm not sure about the other character's wigs, but i'm pretty sure sailor moon's hair was made from yellow yarn... really cheap yellow yarn.

it's all in good fun i guess, but still...

you'd think they'd put a little more effort into making the performance look more professional, as opposed to a school play.

or not.

but seriously, i've seen cosplay outfits on ebay that look better than that!

yeah, i know, i've got a mean streak an inch wide, and i'm letting it out on xmas!

yay!

~*~

maybe i'll just watch some regular old sailor moon anime... regardless of how dire their situations may get (or maybe because of them) it always cheers me up.

how many people do you know that watch horror movies to make themselves feel better?

i've done that as far back as i can remember, sort of, maybe.

well... for a while at least. :P

my life can get pretty bad sometimes, but i've never had anybody chase me with a chainsaw... yet.

a couple of my favorite fanfiction authors were nice enough to update some of their most nifty of ranma stories!

is great, yes?

nothing like a good ranma story to brighten your day!

or mine at least. :P

~*~

watched howl's moving castle... again.

that's a very cool movie!

even though it was adapted from an engrish novel, you really should watch it with the japanese audio, and engrish subtitles, more fun that way.

as you should with all ghibli studio movies!

have you ever noticed how easy it is to dislike certain characters, whether it be in film or in writing?

while this story didn't do too badly in that respect, i found it very easy to dislike most everyone except the four main characters: sophie, howl, calcifer, and markl. everyone else just annoyed me to no end. not that that is all that difficult, but still... i'd rather there be more "good guys" than bad. seriously, calcifer was a demon, and he was easier to like than most of the human critters!

~*~

i had thought about something last night (right after i went to bed) that i wanted to blog about, but... gee, i forgot. must have been really important?

oh well, i'm sure it would have just made lots and lots of human critters happy.

i have a tendency to think of rather unusual things when i'm half asleep.

i think i'll get a little tape recorder thingie to keep notes with, as writing things down in the dark has never worked too well for me, and yes, i've tried. :P

a few months ago i found a japanese blog site, and much like bl0gger, they post some of their more popular and currently updated blogs on their main page. while i couldn't read much of what was listed there, i did find a few that were interesting, and even more that were just bizarre!

there was one site that stuck in my mind, as the person there seemed to enjoy photographing herself eating... a lot.

i know, it's weird.

as i was looking through another site, there was a picture of the girl from the food blog i had found earlier, and i'm like wth?

as it turns out, she was a singer from a small group that is relatively popular, if new, in japan.

it seems she spends a lot of time on the road, and as a hobby? she likes to sample lots of various food stuffs during their travels, then commemorate the moment with a digital photograph.

hey, whatever makes you happy, i guess.

there are definitely worse things she could be doing with her time.

of course, being the curious eGGie that i am, i managed to track down one of her music videos.

i think i'll just stick with remembering her as the weird food blog girl from japan.

~*~

saw this silly flash video yesterday, had ahnold schwarzenegger in a "sesame street-esque" story with all of his political friends/komrads. it was kind of funnie, but mostly demeaning... to him.

~*~

if i'm still awake, i'll post something else later... after all the crazy people that show up this time of year to steal food have vacated the premises.

oh yeah!

speaking of idiots and food, guess what the wannabe nurse critter got for a xmas bonus.

frozen pig butt.

do you have any idea what i'd do to somebody if they gave me a frozen pig butt for any reason, much less what is supposed to be a gift?

HOHOHOHO! merry frickin' xmas! where's my bleepity-bleeping chainsaw?!?

sorry about that lil' blog! ;)

~*~

happy eGGie day lil' blog!
:D
