I’m a fickle bitch, and thus have decided to move all my thoughts to LiveJournal after all.

aratama.livejournal.com

The tricky part is, I’ll be posting the RPS squee (and the angry rants, too, but that’s less interesting) under lock, meaning if you want to read it, you have to friend me over there. Sorry about the inconvenience. If you want to read it, and we’re not already mutual friends on LJ, just friend me or poke me and we’ll work it out.

Thank you!

Apparently amazon.co.jp has switched their local delivery company from DHL to FedEx.

The same FedEx who spent one week looking for the place I live and still claimed my address was for an “unknown” location, although they have a billboard ad right outside my window. I should get you photographic proof. It’s been there for weeks now.

FUN!

In other news, I’m scared of looking at my bank account.

amazon.co.jp: Hey, the estimated shipping date’s here but a bunch of these books are in backorder — wanna cancel them, or wanna wait a bit with payment and shipping?

me, two weeks ago: Oh hey, that’s perfect! I need to buy a bunch of birthday presents! And send a bunch of big packages! And treat people to sushi! You just hang in there, thanks!

amazon.co.jp: Hm hm hm.

me, a week ago: Still nothing?

amazon.co.jp: Nope!

me, a week ago: Perfect! Man, I just adore museum shops … ohhhhh, pretty tea pot! Pretty sketch book! Pretty playing cards! Pretty wallet! Pretty mugs! Pretty books! Pretty petty pretty!

amazon.co.jp: o hai, we shipped and billed your order.

me: D:

my web hosting company: oh hai, we billed you for next year automatically, kthxbai.

me: … D:

Yeah.

It’s not that I’m afraid there’s no money left, but I just know I have taxes I need to pay, when time comes. Auuuuugh. I want new boots and a coat … *sniff*

eta: Oh right, I also bought a premium account at MU on impulse. Go me.

It’s 3:50am over here now, and as evidenced, I couldn’t sleep.

Sasan!Zach getting fondled by Dania.

“Mohinder Suresh.”
The look that made me crave a thousand Sylar/Mohinder/Maya and Zach/Sendhil/Dania fics. (Mo and Sendhil in the middle. Duh.)

Wriggling his foot, as is his wont, blissfully unaware of what his co-stars are planning for him.

So. Is it over yet? Your verdicts?

eta: Amusing myself by looking at torrents in the meanwhile. “Porn: Gay - Hung Heroes 2.avi”. I … kinda might download that?

eta2: Next week, I’m not even going to try. *throws up hands*

Did you steal one of Zach’s manboobs shirts from his trailer?

(Not saying he has manboobs. JESUS CHRIST HE LOOKS GOOD. As does Zach. From here. I watched it but I haven’t listened to it, so please, no spoilers.)

P.S. for comparison.

OH and unrelated to anything below, kyacco wrote pretty darn erotic Z/S in which they get high together in Japanese, and I’ve never felt more smug about my M4D TRILINGUAL SKILLZZZZZ than I do right now. :D :D :D I get to read Z/S you don’t! Nyah nyah!

I’m sort of kind of obsessed with Sendhil/Santiago. And yes, this is one of those tasteless RPS porn posts, you have been warned.

I had completely forgotten about it until Sam reminded me, so all you people who already lost can go ahead and blame her.

The Bet About When Zachary Quinto Officially Comes Out:

• Alicia: November 2008 | 330 words of porn
• Bobby: June 2008 | more AU fic
• Jenn: November 2008 | HS AU sequel
• Jessa: July 2008 | macros
• Leshia: January 2009 | 500 words of crossover
• Lou: April 2009 | her pride :P
• Sam: September 2008 | five naughty stick figures
• Vian: August 2008 | four doodles

In my mind the rules were that everyone who lost had to do these things, but I’m not sure that’s fair if no one wins.

I STILL HAVE A CHANCE! HAH!

I spent the better part of this afternoon looking for Sendhil’s appearance on Casualty.

• google
• torrents
• youtube
• fan sites
• fan forums you had to join and get approved for just to see the posts
• livejournal

In that order, to no avail. I’m obsessing over it hard and I joined the LJ comm just to ask if this fandom has tape swap traditions at all. Because I sure as hell couldn’t find any proof of it.

Still obsessing … obsessing … obsessing …

The worst part of it is Sendhil said someone showed it to him, right? At Eclipse? Right? RIGHT?! Where the fuck did he see it?!

Grr.

has so far turned into an emo and whining and angst blog, apparently?

Sorry about that.

It’s like I constantly look for things to distract myself with, because if I don’t, I fall back into the exact same gutter I’m standing in to my knees. It’s like alcohol or prescription drugs. I used to always say alcohol and gambling did nothing for me, unlike for my mother, but in the last year or so I’ve begun to suspect I’m exactly like her. What we need is distraction. It doesn’t matter what, if it’s a slot machine in front of you, it’s the slot machine you go for, that’s all there is to it; the means isn’t the point, the objective is.

(Thank you for knowing that if comments are off, then yeah, it’s because I actually don’t want to talk about it.)

I’m out of milk and my torrents have been slow as hell since yesterday.

This is not helping my mood, universe.

Why does JJ Abrams have to cast people I like? First, Harold Perrineau and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Now, Lance Reddick and Kirk Acevedo. I don’t want to watch your shows. (Or your movies, but I know I will.) I tried with Lost because my crush on Harold Perrineau transcends even my blah about DeCaprio, but it just didn’t work out, sorry. I’ll just go watch season one of Oz again instead. The problem with Fringe is I like its theme (I’m an X-Files fan) and actually really like John Noble in it, but the two leads are already pissing me off.

Why do people say female protagonists are “strong” when they spend the entirety of a pilot episode ignoring the FBI case at hand while going around shouting “CAN’T ANYONE SAVE MY BOYFRIEEEEEEEEEEEEND?!?!?!”? It’d be another matter if that wasn’t the first thing we saw her doing, but another layer added to her character after we had seen other (professional, family, generally non-man-and-romance-obsessed) aspects of her personality. But it’s not. But I am rather biased and unforgiving about characters (of either sex) whose motivations are solely based on romantic connections. Maybe they are strong, by some accounts. I just dislike characters like that in anything but shojo manga (in those I can at least accept them as a genre convention).

Am feeling generally useless and brought down by a general knowledge that I suck. Squeeing about the Sendhil pics and a guy at work actually being highly competent at his job (!!! when is the world ending?) cheered me up for a while, but I’m back in the rut I was in on Monday now.

Where the fandom’s gonna be.

Feel free to friend it! Feel also free to ignore it!

The bad-taste porn and the RPS stuff and the rare RL and the RANTS OF GRRRRR will all stay here.

P.S. Jenn is nuts. Nutsly too nice for her own good. But you guys already knew that, right? Yeah. NUTS.

I owe her porn or something. Wow.
