kirscheI'm at my house for the night (had to do talk to my stuff about summer plans as well as work on my resume) and I FINALLY GOT MY WIRELESS TO WORK!! WOOOHOOOO!! Thanks GOD! Jeez it's been such a pain in the ass lately. But I am online and updating YAY!
Spring Break without a doubt had it's extreme ups and downs, especially considering that I was INCREDIBLY sick for the first half of it, with a high fever, bad cough, and yuckiness. The great thing was that my parents allowed me to watch Trigun and Escaflowne on our gorgeous big screen TV. :drooool:
New York was absolutely positively fantobulouso. Like words can not describe how awesome it was. And Little Mermaid was totally beyond what words can say. I'll probably put up pictures sometime this week though I didn't get to take any outside the theater considering my camera died before I could do so ;___;. But yeah the set and everything about Little Mermaid was totally amazing. Just seeing all of the music performed live just made me so happy. And I was happy at how well they performed She's In Love, becuz it is without outa doubt my fav song in that show. I was so impressed that when it was Intermission I turned to my mom as soon as the lights went up and said "So is Act II gonna start soon?" and when we were leaving the theater I kept complaining about how I wanna see it again. Sierra Bogess WAS Ariel, it kinda scared me, and the way she was practically fan girling in "Beyond My Wildest Dream" made me lawl muchly. I seriously can't wait till I see it again, cuz I WILL see it again sometime soon. As god is my witness.
We also saw Spring Awakening which was totally awsome as well and once again my favorite song in the show "Totally fucked" (yes that's the name of the song), was probably the best number in the entire show, they just did such a good job. We did A LOT of walking around and we went to the Disney Store where I bought some pictures and some really nice earrings (I swear the Disney store has some really nice stuff, like I have a really nice pair of jeans that unless you look and see the Tinkerbelle on the butt you wouldn't even think they were made by Disney). Overall it was good times, and honestly I can't wait to go back, cuz we honestly didn't spend enough time there.
Yeah so AB is this weekend and I TOTALLY can't wait. Especially considering that I'm helping Alex and Kent in running a couple of fan panels. The one I'm definitely most excited for is Trescaflowgun, which is a compare and contrast between in my opinion two of the best anime out there Trigun and Escaflowne. It was funny cuz Alex told me that I needed to watch Trigun and Escaflowne before the panel and I was like "Oh that's suuuuch a chore" especially considering that I've wanted to see Trigun for the longest time and do you NEED to give me a reason to watch Escaflowne, hands down my favorite anime?!?! I mean honestly.
And I realized also while rewatching Escaflowne how much of a COMPLETE DORK I am, especially when it concerns a certain Van Fanel. I swear I have an unnatural crush on that boy, AND HE'S NOT EVEN REAL?!? I know I have for long a time, but at least now I'm admitting that I do. And when he goes all "whee I'm gonna be an angel and fly now" I kinda hardcore squee cuz he's shirtlesswhich is the only reason that the Escaflowne movie is good since that's what he is the entire movie. Yeah and I deliberately saved and got this icon not only cuz it's an awsome icon but when I was watching it the other night I actually stopped and drooled over this image on my tv screen for like a good few minutes. If you haven't seen Escaflowne already, go see it. I mean it. And don't be a tool in download it. I normally don't like to say that (cuz I know I'm guilty of downloading anime as much as the next guy), but this is an anime that deserved to be watched over and over again. You'll thank me when you've bought it and realized that you've gotten your money's worth.
Oh and let me tell you how much I could go on and on about trigun. Damn......man. That show's like two different anime. It's like a comedy-action kinda with a plot flow like bebop to then this totally serious drama that's both intriguing as well as impressive anime that just totally blew me out of the water. I mean this honestly, like no joke, was probably the most well done anime I've ever seen. DEFINITELY worth all the hype, imho.
Only bad part about AB is that I won't be able to cosplay because I don't have any of my stuff ready and I forgot to have Teresa send up my wigs. It's sad cuz this will be the first convention that I've gone too that I haven't cosplayed. ;___; But oh well, I'm just getting ready and pumped for my ultimate cosplay experience for Otakon, where I know I'll be doing at least two costumes: Nel w/ Espada Uniform (sorry I'm not wearing the rags she wears when she transforms) from "Bleach" and Lucy (w/her final costume, and I have wig and contacts for it too) from "Elfin Lied." So I guess it'll be all good in the end I guess.
Dammit I can't get .45 out of my DAMN HEAD!! Probably wasn't the best idea to suddenly listen to it on iTunes. I totally blame trigun and the amv that I've been watching constantly that is set to that song. Damn you Trigun, DAMN YOU!! If you are interested and don't mind spoiler amv's, comment and I'll send it to you.
Oh and thoughts on Katekyo Hitman Reborn anyone?? This is mostly directed toward Millie concerning that I know you read it and I'm interested by thetotally sexy guy that's in your banner as well as some of the other characters, especially considering I have constantly bombarded with icons on LJ from that show and I know nothing about it.
Damn it's midnight, I really should go read my book for history "Survival in Auschwitz" oh this is gonna be fun, another Holocausts novel. /sarcasm/ :slash wrists:

Date: 2008-03-20 04:15 pm (UTC)Also, lovely icon. Escaflowne was definitely one of the best original animes to ever come into existence. I really need to pick up the series someday. Also, love Trigun. Both of those animes were just so well-written and beautiful.
As for KH Reborn? It is the crack. Great for reading when you need a laugh. I really enjoyed it.

Date: 2008-03-26 03:07 am (UTC)Hehe I know isn't my icon supremely sexy?!? You know it woman. And yeah...you really DO need to pick it up...like seriously. I'd send it to you if I had it downloaded, but esca's the one series where I pretty much DEMAND people to buy it lol, plus I haven't got the knack down of uploading dvd's to my pc yet. Plus I haven't found a program to do so that's not INCREDIBLY complex. It's sad cuz it's the big reason why I have yet to make any AMV's ;___; and I know I'd make good ones ;________;
HAHAHA yeah KH Reborn being totally crack is definitely right. First chapter I was like WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT?!? But now it's totally hilarious crack and I'm really enjoying it.
