Update about the whole internet situation. I ended up coming home this weekend since I needed to find my start-up disc (which I did, to my immense relief) and then back up all of my stuff with the help of evildrew's external hard drive. (Thanks again for that, Andrew!)

So tonight I'll go back on the train and then I'll take my computer in tomorrow and it'll hopefully be all reformatted by Tuesday. Then I should be around a lot more. I'm glad this seems to be working out, since I was beyond frustrated about it for a while.

Anyway, here's a meme that I was tagged for by lady_angelina:

FIRST: If you've been tagged, you must write your answers in your own LJ and replace any question that you dislike with a new, original question.
SECOND: Tag eight sexy people. Don't refuse to do that like a pansy.

( snip snip. )

I apologize if I tag someone who's already been tagged: bondofflame, continuum, endless_abyss, evildrew, famira, nest, otakara, and wyna_hiros, you're up!

Two days down, three to go. Today I have to study even more material, augh augh augh.

Still, the time I'm not spending studying is spent with apps, zombies, and Star Trek, so it's not all bad. THAT BEING SAID:



Had to share this. This is going to be what's running through my head as I attempt to climb Fuji.

Okay, I have to share this because it is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen, no joke. You don't really need any prior knowledge whatsoever other than the fact that Kirk and Spock had been separated for a while before this.



THEY ARE SO AMAZING, THESE TWO. I am a convert, I think.

Additionally, this here picture makes my life. I'd like to just go ahead and admit right now that I find forty-odd-years-ago Shatner hot. KIND OF ASHAMED, but it can't be helped. It, uhh, doesn't help that pinstrip suits are kind of a kink of mine.

As should be obvious at this point, I am getting dragged into the land of Star Trek: The Original Series. THIS IS ALL nest's FAULT. I have seen three full episodes (with plans to see all of it eventually), watched way too many clips on YouTube, and scoured devart for both TOS and 09 fanart. How did my life end up like this.

In other news, I bought this month's ガンガン (the monthly publication that Fullmetal Alchemist chapters come out in) because the free item that came with it was a Fullmetal Alchemist pencil case. AWWWW YEAH. It is red and I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had Ling on it. No Hughes, Kimbley, Greed, or Havoc, though. But man, I am way too excited for something like this. Honestly, this stuff is made for Japanese middle school boys to buy and then show off to all their friends so that they all go buy it too -- and here I am, a 20-year-old college student getting all psyched about a pencil case.

Life is strange.

Lastly, BRB GOING TO TOKYO. The whole gang (aka evildrew, endless_abyss, lacidiana, and pandaheero) is coming to visit me and to sightsee, so I'm going with nest to meet up with them there. VERY MUCH EXCITED FOR THIS, it has been too long without my nakama. :(

So 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...
