Can't sleep, nightmares will eat me.
Jun. 25th, 2007 05:30 amSo this is my list of gripes/babblings/whatever.
Random things I want to share with anyone who will listen.
1. I don't normally watch movies very often anymore because for some reason I feel guilty. Also it's much harder to "just listen" and continue doing the 15 other things I like to do to keep busy because let's face it, movies are better and more distracting. However I wound up watching Aladdin 3 the other day, and sadly came to the realization it's not as good as I remembered. It wasn't long enough. I could (and sadly, WOULD) have made the have almost twice as long and with twice the number of songs and then it would have been perfect imo. Maybe I've just been spoiled because PotC3 was crazy awesome 3 hours <333333333 I wish more movies were gutsy enough to do that. On another note, still love Zaratan but One Piece 7 owned it so much. I REALLY really REALLY want that movie to come out in U.S.
On that note, I'm also getting very antsy with C.N. I'm way too broke to go invest in Naruto dvds but at the same time, I really want them, and even more strangely, I would watch them possibly even daily. Naruto is just perfect for being really surprisingly good (I liked it at first but then it got meh and now it's getting fantastic as far as I'm concerned) but still not so mind-involving that I have to focus at all times, and yet I still wind up focusing more on it than anything else I watch of late.
And on a tv sucking note. Summer reruns.... argh. What happened to all the stations deciding they get more people watching during summer because of school vacation and parents taking time off etc?! And why does C.N. feel the need to replace the ONLY good stuff (Naruto, Prince of Tennis, etc.) with utter crap (EW Fantastic Four?? Come on, it's a superhero movie that tries WAY too hard to appeal to preppy "popular" people who don't like nerds :| Fail. Whatever happened to the Justice League? Samurai Jack? I'm not usually one to whine about the past for tv because in general I think it ALL tends to kind of suck but seriously... FF sucks worse. And Justice League was good.) Plus, I can't be the only one who gets more into a show when it's daily instead of once a week, right? The only reason I got so into Naruto recently was because it's every day and totally got me addicted so that every time an episode ended I needed more. And when Justice League was doing that at 10 (yes I know, Adult Swim moved up 1/2 an hour so that wouldn't work anymore but that isn't my gripe) that's when/why I started watching it. Is it really just because the advertisers ONLY want shows that are specifically for the retarded 8 year olds who watch crap? If so, it makes me sad for humanity.
2. I need Funimation's One Piece to come out. In part because of the whole tv sucking thing, but also I can't take the worrying that it'll be terrible. If they fail, there's no way it'll come out AGAIN in a new GOOD version, and people won't buy the subs if they only see a bad dub version. Well, I'll buy the subs because One Piece is my favorite show ever but still... Also... movie...... And the tv specials? They showed the Naruto tv special (which I loved even though I expected it to suck, although the ending was quite dragged out) so it seems likely... but still very much depending on Funi and Toei.
3. Meg Cabot. Lots on that front. Lately I've just been itching to read/re-read her stuff. And get more. Which is rough on my budget. On the other hand, I definitely intend to have a bunch to bring with me to the 4th of July. Especially the manga. And the book that comes before the Manga and why, WHY haven't I bought that yet?!
Speaking of the 4th, what is up with that anyways??? I think Dad and Laura are staying home. Dad because he gets very sick in the sun, Laura because she likes having the house to herself although she'll use the "taking care of Dad" reason. But what will I do? I intend to go of course. I ALWAYS go. I haven't ever missed it. Just like I'm always sick on my birthday, I somehow always manage the 4th, even when the very bright sunshine + very bad migraine just makes me want to die. I think I want to bring bubbles, music (ipod? ipod and radio??), and lots of manga and books. Also notebooks. If I don't finish the OPX project before then, I could do it then.
4. I want to read and detail the Crimson Shadow Trilogy. I promised myself the next time I read it, I'd script it too. On the other hand, should I just write down everything I think needs to go in it? Should I just make notes? Or literally write a full out script WITH direction notes, dialogue, scenery, etc.? Or maybe I should highlight passages? But if I highlight stuff I'd wreck my paperbacks and I despise writing in books *sigh*
5. Harry Potter. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I still haven't found my party though!!! And it's getting close! I want someplace that will have oodles of trivia and games and prizes and contests and crazyness. And chocolate frogs... and it's the last one! :( :( :( Also... movie 5... doesn't look that good. Is it just me?? I mean I know they're going for the "dark" look because well it's a MUCH darker book but I'm really thinking they desperately should have stuck with the same director as movie 4. He was brilliantly perfect for it. What is up with WB?
So Harry Potter plans: set aside money (duh), keep searching for party, try to avoid spoilers even though desperate desire to have them, do I even want to bother re-playing the first three videogames? 1 was fun, 2 was great, 3 was... weird but not bad, and 4 just sucked. I have NO hopes admittedly for 5. EA disappoints me.
On a game note, I still want Pheonix Wright, Naruto 2 or 3 (for GBA), and Pogo. But I do have lots of Pokemon to hold my attention and I'll probably have to redo Leafgreen or something. But as for buying number 5?
6. Games brings me up to Puzzle Pirates... which has me readdicted? Maybe. It probably won't last very long since I'm mostly just doing it because the boys wanted to restart it. On the other hand, it's mad fun. I bought a dog which is looking like the only kind I'll ever get **need to make another note on that later** since Kyle hates dogs and I love him and I can't just go get a dog when I get my own place because I'd rather have a Kyle at my own place. *sigh* Maybe if I convince him that I'll purposely go up 3 more sizes and completely 100% ignore that my own grandmother suggested plastic surgery... oh the dagger wounds.
Anyways, I switched crews because my old hasn't done ANYTHING in months (what's up with that) and I'm now in the biggest in the ocean. And already an officer. Also Puzzle Pirates has trophies now. And not just for doing incredible but for random little "lifetime" tasks. . . . and we all know I'm a badge whore. So I'm crazy proud of my current trophies... and desperately wanting more. *sigh* I SO want that bejewled and then diamond crab for crazy CRAZY amounts of bilging.
Also blockades. I LOVE them. They are awesome now. Of course resisting the urge to Treasure Haul except when captains say it's ok is VERY hard.
And why is my swordfighting skill so damn low? I think they switched it so that now all my group swordfighting experience doesn't count and I'm not all that good individually. I can basically defeat greenies. Damn you tetris.
But yeah, blockades are AWESOME. Also I've actually gotten a little better at bnaving. It's a miracle. Maybe God has blessed me or something because it would seriously take that for me to get anywhere near decent. Sadly though I want to get good just so I can be a senior officer and that way I can declare and lead blockades. I REALLY like blockades.
7. That dog note and also more on the movies. So earlier I mentioned I don't usually watch movies, but lately I have. So at some point (I don't know when because my Mom's memory is fuzzy at best) my Mom saw Little Black Book and totally adored it. Also she kept referencing it because it really stuck with her. So today (Sunday, I realize it is now, even by my definition, Monday) Uptown Girls was on tv and I figured what the hell, and watched the halfway point/ending. It was eh. But it sparked my Mom's recognition of Brittany Murphy in the Little Black Book. And after more asking about it, she was shocked once again that I STILL hadn't seen it. So as it incidentally turns out, she'd bought it just to make sure I could watch it. It was pretty good. Reminds me randomly of 13 Going on 30. Anyways, the dog, Bob. LOVE. That is exactly the kind of dog I envision Smoker like being. I want one. I love them. Them and their giant plushie wrinkly faces. Them and their slobber and hair.
And yes... I KNOW if I get one, it will smell. Badly. And it will slobber on everything. And hair... everywhere. And I will smell... like a dog. Because there is no way I would avoid simply cuddling up and hugging and loving it all hours of the day. And how will I ever travel? Most places don't allow pets and airplanes are not big on them.
But I want it. http://www.breederretriever.com/photopost/data/520/medium/mastiff1.jpg I want the big lazy, fluffy, protective, drool monster that I can huggle and command to jump all over Kyle and lick his face and make him grumpy and rush to wash his face constantly ^_^ And I want to go through police training with him and force him to actually do some walking/rollerblading as he drags me along.
But I guess it's not going to happen because even though I've wanted a dog my whole life, I love Kyle more. Pat says I should get one anyways when Kyle isn't look *cough*
8. Weather. I would say, "what's up with it?" But the ready answer is "Global climate change/global warming." Yes, MA gets a storm season but come on, this is getting CRAZY. I mean the flooding was sure, it happens. And MAYBE I can believe that every so often the world goes through periods of extreme conditions, but come on, what does it take people? I don't really think God is trying to purge us. But I bet if Thomas Jefferson was alive, he'd have done something very serious about it. And the whole ignoring the problem just.... argh.
I'm not with my Dad on this. I don't think it's the Ayn Rand "Atlas Shrugged" destroyer mentality of TRYING to fuck us, and themselves over. But on the other hand... am I just being optomistic? How do you spend several trillion dollars on a war, justified or not, NEEDED or not, and yet, when serious crises hit here just offer it up as an act of God and do nothing? I don't really need to say much on it, because it's been said.
So what I will say is that on a very entirely selfish and I don't CARE that it's selfish note: the weather is fucking with my migraines and that makes me cranky. Yes, I over-extended myself when Kyle was here. But above and beyond the chemicals probably having a very big and very serious impact on human's health (given the right circumstances, organisms will grow and grow and grow exponentially until they die from their own waste. Ironically, our waste isn't sewage but toxins that we can't use friendly bacteria and other plants to help eliminate.) the weather is fucking with MY health. Obviously, I'm not going to like it but now I'm just plain mad about it. Not really God's fault, and I guess no one individually. And lots of people, and I mean LOTS are really trying very hard to do something about it. And god knows I contribute to the problem. I take a car places. I haven't planted trees in ages. And I run the AC because I'd rather not be sick feeling when I can avoid it with some cool air that unfortunately gives off harmful CO2.
But I would say there has to be a better way, but we already KNOW, many, many, MANY of the better ways. So why, for the love of God and ourselves, aren't we using them? The money excuse is total and complete crap. If money is SUCH a big worry, then we shouldn't be spending a billion dollars for war planes that are outdated by the time the production is finished. And the idea that the economy will collapse from cars being restricted to a minimum of 35 mpg is SUCH crap. Cars that ARE fuel efficient are make more sales anyways. So in the end it's loyalty to gas companies and sheer desire for decadance.
Ick.
Isn't there a way for people to be happy without having to accidentally ruin other people's lives in the process? How many stories (books, television, religion, folk tales, since the dawn of time) run the theme that hurting others in order to get ahead is bad? Hell, even Godzilla has that theme (the Matthew Broderick one) Are you really getting ahead by spraying that glade plugin all over yourself? If for every perfume you used you were killing a 3rd world child, would you keep doing it?
Are some people just "good" and some just "not"? Is it that some people haven't been raised in the near tyrrannical strictness of trying to always, always help others, and so they justify or even believe the rationale that everyone just needs to take care of themselves? Why is it so hard to believe that some of the CRAZY chemicals people use everyday are actually making them sick? People believe that nitrates and hot dogs with disgusting amounts of buggies are gross and bad for you. And people (some?) are slowly starting to wake up to the idea that McDonald's and fast food crap is bad for you as well as cigarettes etc. Yet at the same time, people want to say that marijuana is safer for you than cigarettes and so long as you train yourself you are safe to drive under the influence of it. Since the 1800s we've been pumping out chemicals that make us sick. Pollutants and things that caused everything from tuberculosis and cancer, so why is it so impossible to believe the cause and effects of DDT and yes, even perfumes?
Marie Curie killed herself with radioactivity. Is it really that crazy to think that chemicals spewing out of cars, even with all the advancements in safety and cleanliness, are making people sick?
And down to just the math. JUST our country alone will end up having to pay SO much more in health costs and lost productivity and so on and so forth to so very many problems than even just trying to take on the rest of the world in a war. And yet, a little prevention...
Feh.
Maybe people just don't want to do that math. Maybe it scares them. But this country needs bravery. And it could really use a hard reality check.
9. Moving on... My least favorite hours of the day are from 3am to 6am. I'm not a big fan of mornings period. They are bright and just not my thing in any way. But even 6am to 10 am is much much better because it's way less lonely and there is stuff on tv. Plus even though the sunshine hurts and I'm not a fan, it's much more cheerful.
10. I want to write. I can't decide between Keitha/Smoker, or Fred & George. They're both REALLY tempting. I do know that I need to start outlining the latter and totally finish outlining the prior.
11. Food. Still an issue, of course. I did decent today but between an inability to do any sort of cooking for myself, my allergies being totally out of control, and my Mom's lack of shopping skills and just plain energy and focus... it's not going to stop being a problem until I'm better.
12. The ugliest dog in the world. I'm not a fan of chihauas to begin with but wow. That is the fugliest thing ever BY FAR. I would almost rather huggle a cricket. Almost.
13. I need to take Kyle surfing. Or boogie boarding rather. I wish I could go do that now...
Random things I want to share with anyone who will listen.
