Just a continuation on various things I've been watching. It doesn't stop! Speaking of things that don't quit, everyone I know is getting married. I'm at that age where everyone around me is having a wedding. I will have been to 3 weddings this year, in which I'm a part of the wedding party for all three. And I'll be going for sure to 2 more early next year. It's rough when there's all this love in the air, lol.

Wonder Woman

Geezus, Gal Gadot is such a classic beauty. All of the close-ups of her were gorgeous. I quite enjoyed the ridiculous slow-motion posing during the action scenes. Also Ares lookin' like he came out of a Dark Souls game is amazing.

The Fault in Our Stars

It took me a looong time to watch this. I loved the book and genuinely cried while reading it (during Isaac's eulogy in particular). People have told me the movie just wasn't up to par, which is reasonable; it rarely ever is. But I finally got to seeing it and it was as people said. It was a decent movie, but just didn't incite the same feelings as reading the book. I did enjoy the little John Green cameo though.

Fate/Zero & Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works

What I love about this series is that it gives no damns for character deaths. Granted, I actually enjoyed the prequel a little more than UBW, just because there was more depth to the servants and their backgrounds. UBW was just a bit too high-schooly for me. But to sum it up: best recurring kill is choke death (everyone wanted to choke a bitch), best weapon Gae Bolg, best villain Gilly (Gilgamesh) -- he's just too beautiful, still holding out for Gilly and Saber's wedding. I don't know how Saber can say no. Thoroughly ate this entire thing up.

Hey, don't forget: I am the bone of my sword.

Forever

I recently rewatched this gem of a series. It's just a one season ABC show and one that totally deserved more than it got. I'm not alone with that either -- I have the show page liked on Facebook and every time it updates with a clip and "Watch it again streaming here" post, there is RAGE in the comments. It makes me laugh, but also sad 'cause I too want more. Anyway, it's about a medical examiner that has been around the same age for the last 200 years. Reason why, he can't die. When he does get shot or killed, he just wakes up again naked in a nearby body of water. His character is very Sherlock-ish in the way that he just knows a lot about everything, and the premise isn't really anything that hasn't been seen before. But I just love the characters. All of them are so charming and is the reason why it's so re-watchable. Totally recommended.

America's Next Top Model: Seasons 1-2

I can feel the judgment. But I saw all of it is up on Hulu and I decided to watch it from the beginning during lunch at work. And oh boy is all the drama so delicious. The staying power of fashion is quite amazing. A lot of the styles are still in (or were brought back) today, even though these episodes were in the early 2000s. Also, Tyra Banks doesn't age. She looks exactly the same hosting America's Got Talent today, what!

Eeeet's been a heckuva long time! So shhh, let's forget my last entry was four years ago. As I'm typing this, I'm realizing this may be quite a long entry, lol. But hey, this is long overdue. And I've got fandoms I need to talk about, this is important.


Let's take a look at this screenshot of Matsujun right here. Yes. I was watching this and my mom passes by and catches him on the screen. You know what she says? "How is he so handsome?" I didn't know how to answer, because I really don't know how. That is Matsumoto Jun for you.

Sekai Ichi Muzukashii Koi (Episodes 1-3): I have to be honest and say, it's been a long time since I've caught up on Arashi dramas. It's probably been a couple of years I'd say, but I couldn't resist this one. And good thing, because it is quirky and adorable. That is all.

Thermae Romae (Movies 1-2): I'm late on these movies but Abe Hiroshi is hilarious in these. I ended up watching them with my sister as we ate, and my parents were around and ended up watching with us as well. It was that funny. And he's naked 90% of the time, it's a wonder why Ueto Aya's character cannot resist.

Hamilton: The Musical: Ha! Thought I'd make the entire world outraged and say I got tickets, huh. Well nope, but HOLY HELL WOULD I LOVE TO GO. Count me in as one of the obsessed. YOU GUYS, you need to listen to this entire musical about the life of Alexander Hamilton. And the good thing is you can from beginning to end, because if a line is not sung, it is rapped. It's all on Youtube/Spotify and other places I'm sure. If I had to pick a favorite song (AND IT IS HARD) it would be Satisfied. You're welcome. :) Okay, okay I have honorable mentions: Guns and Ships, It's Quiet Uptown.

His Dark Materials: I think I've written about this trilogy before and I'm so fond of these series of books -- The Golden Compass/Northern Lights, Amber Spyglass, Subtle Knife, by Philip Pullman. And this article is telling me that the BBC is making a TV show and I AM STOKED. The Golden Compass movie kind of, I dunno, bombed didn't translate well to the screen, so I'm hoping the TV series will do it justice.

The Kingkiller Chronicles: This is along similar lines and I CAN'T WAIT. Also the third book would be nice. I've been waiting a long time so I guess I can keep waiting..

Also going to a Perfume concert and Aladdin on Broadway in September, whaaaaat. *_*

Love you my friends, I'm still alive and still checking my friends list even if I've not been active. :D

Ever since my cousin got Netflix, my sister and I have been parking ourselves in front of the TV every time we eat. And that leads to..

TV SHOWS GUYS YEAH

Merlin (Season 1-4): One thing I love about this show, is how each season wraps up so nicely with action! And drama! And this is the one show that my mom started watching with us (by accident: I'm sure she saw Merlin/Arthur bromance and was an instant fan) and continued watching with us. She got real excited when she saw a preview on the Sy-Fy channel - even though we watch on Netflix: "Morgana was chasing Gwen in the forest!" It's an accomplishment if my Asian mama can remember all of the characters' names. Except Gaius. She always calls him Guy. Poor guy.

Glee (Season 1-3+): Chris Colfer once said in an interview that some girls told him that seeing his face makes them cry. This is pretty much how I feel whenever Kurt sings.

The Guild (Episodes 1-5): So this started off incredibly low-budget with awful acting but it really got much better as it went on. Episode 5 is pretty hilarious. Oh the memories of being part of a guild in an MMO.

Supernatural (Episodes 1-4): I am a total wuss. I really wanted to continue this and I feel like I'm missing on a lot of Sam and Dean goodness, but it's freakin' scary. XD If the rest of the episodes were like the airplane soul-taking episode it would be fine and dandy. But the Wendigo and Bloody Mary episodes creeped me out. I need like, a PG version of this show, guys. The next episode was titled Skin I think, and my sister and I decided to take a break. A long one.

Top Shot (Season 1-2): I LOVE THIS SHOW. It's so reality TV but so good. They compete not only with guns, but long bows! Crossbows! Blow-guns! Knives! TOMAHAWKS!

Full Metal Jousting (Season 1): Since I loved Top Shot so much, I thought this one would be a lot of fun too. It's all right, and I think there was just not enough diversity. It was just a regular joust after joust. My favorite parts of the show were the horses. Seriously.

On Jdramas, I've still got to catch up to Nazotoki & Lucky Seven, but I can only watch them in little doses. I did catch the first episode of Ohno's new drama and I love it already! There's something about it that really holds my attention that the other two didn't. I've yet to watch Aiba's new drama, but I've got it downloaded and it looks super cute. I mean, Aiba & Becky? You got me there.
