swim without any water.
Oh man, my weekend was busy. I dressed up and also had naked party times (aka went to a public bath/onsen thing), but the real point of this post:

For some reason, it's Final Fantasy VI music more than anything else that makes me nostalgic like hell. FFVII music sometimes does it too, but FFVI even more so. I'm not quite sure why since I was introduced to both in the same stage of my childhood, but if a song from it (or a remix) comes up on my playlist suddenly I'm all natsukashii. It's weird because it's a very bittersweet feeling.

I don't really know why I felt the need to post about this, but it probably had something to do with avoiding homework which really needs to be done. My hours of sleep are just dwindling away...

So [profile] murasaki_kaze was nice enough to invite me along to go see Star Trek with her and a bunch of her friends. It was my first time seeing a movie in Japan, so that was cool, and the fact that there was no stadium seating didn't matter since... people in Japan are short, okay. 8D

Anyway, the movie was fantastic and you all weren't lying when you raved about it! I thoroughly enjoyed it, and this is coming from someone who is woefully ignorant about Star Trek for the most part. Seriously, I know so little about the original series that it's sad, though I've watched a good amount of TNG episodes. I just know I missed out on tons of references because of that, but oh well.

But yeah, the acting was good, the interaction was good, the action parts were good, and there were just so many well-done scenes. I was enjoying it the whole time and didn't want it to end, though at the same time it didn't drag on. It also helped that I honestly liked all of the characters, so no matter what was going on or who was doing stuff, I was happy.

Zachary Quinto was awesome and I'm so happy that he got such a big break. I look forward to seeing more of him down the line, since I really do think he's a talented actor. Seriously, after the first scene or so my brain stopped going SYLARSYLARSYLAR because he was doing such a good job.

More vaguely spoilery stuff under the cut. )

Bottom line: A++, will watch again. Also, if anyone has any fic recs...
we cannot take it back.
So I'm kinda sorta tossing around the idea of getting a Sony PSP.

IS THIS A GOOD IDEA, FLIST? Give me your thoughts! I'm not even sure how feasible it is, but I've been tempted lately. There are a good amount of games for it that I would want, and I don't think I'll be getting a PS3 anytime soon, so...

Anyway! ADVICE PLZ. Either for or against it. 8D
as long as it's about me.
So! Like many other people, I have two dreamwidth codes that are up for grabs! I'm pretty sure all the people I promised them to have already gotten them by other means, so yeah, if anyone's still in search of one (or just wants an extra code), let me know! First-come, first-serve.
i'm always better than you.
You know, it's pretty cool being able to do rough translations of bits of raw manga chapters. It's not much, but even getting a gist of what's going on is pretty awesome.

On that note, I am caught up with the FMA manga, and man, shit went down. I'm really excited to see where things go from here.

All right! So I went ahead and got a dreamwidth account (thanks to the lovely [personal profile] mirror) since it seemed neat that you could crosspost and I was curious. Uhh, it also had a lot to do with the fact that [personal profile] court wasn't taken, and I've always wanted a simple name like that. I guess I could have gotten something that sounded cool, but... I wanted my name. Or the shortened version, at least. SO YES, please go ahead and add me and I'll try not to fail at figuring out how this site works. I'm testing the crossposting right now.

Also, I know I have a ton of memes that I need to fill out, and I'll try to get to that tomorrow. I'm pretty tired now after chilling with Kaze for the past two days, which was a blast and I bought way too much stuff, but... worth it. Yes. I should really post about it on my Japan journal, mrrr. I also played a little bit of Crisis Core and pawed at Zack and his improved hairdo.

I hope everyone is doing well!
