1. The epic love story of Romeo and Juliet Romina and Julius as told through the medium of traditional Filipino verse had me rolling around in stitches xD

2. I first encountered Rafe Bartholomew when I read his article on the Ateneo-La Salle rivalry on the New York Times. Then I finished his book on Philippine basketball the other day. (Which I liked very much, despite not knowing much about the PBA--college basketball is more my thing, heh.) When a google search on the man revealed a promo vid he did for a meet-and-greet in New York last year, I think I fell in love. HAHA.

3. I still haven't studied for next week's comprehensive exams, la la la.

1. I was disappointed with the HP7 film. It didn't really suck; it's just that everything was so much more epic in my head. That said, the actor they got for Albus Severus is just precious. I want to squeeze him and keep him in my pocket, hee. :D

2. I resolve to use random song lyrics for the subject line every time I can't think of something to put in there. Just because.

3. I noticed that I'm becoming more and more passive-aggressive as I grow older. I don't know if this is a good thing or not.

4. I should stop going to Fully Booked when I don't have any money. I found out earlier that they finally re-stocked the Arthur Trilogy, which excited me at first. But then I realized that after buying new earphones, splurging on food last night, and buying the travel-sized version of Cluedo, I don't have enough left to buy all three books. DAMN IT.

5. For some strange reason, I woke up with Feel Like Dance by globe running through my head the other day. And since I don't really know the lyrics, my mind substituted "Feeling mo ikaw si Marimar, 'yun pala ikaw si Corazon," instead of whatever the lyrics for the chorus are supposed to be. I love the fact that my brain could still remember the stupid words us kids came up with when we couldn't be bothered to look for song lyrics.

6. #5 prompted me to look for the other Japanese songs from my childhood. So now I can't stop listening to Pizzicato Five's Sweet Soul Revue. Which I am embedding here, because I love the proto-Shibuya-kei look of the video:

I love today. Today may possibly be my favorite day this semester, because:

1. Research proposal panel defense takes place this afternoon. Which means after that, I'LL BE FREEEEEEE! \0/ Well, until ASMIP starts, that is and if I don't find myself in the removals list oh god PLEASE lower the MPL by 1 point, that's all I need!

2. NIGHT OUT! With friends who aren't with me at med school! WOO-HOO!

3. I can finally, finally work on the sizeable pile of books and DVDs I've been meaning to watch/read, but didn't have time for. And I'm gonna start with House of Leaves, America's Next Top Model, and Peacemaker Kurogane. WHEE!

Gakked from [livejournal.com profile] hells_half_acre:

Your main fandom of the year?
Supernatural, with a bit of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Austen for some flavor.

Your favorite film watched this year?
Hmm...this is difficult, as I tend to watch a lot of films, not all of them necessarily released this year. Here's my shortlist: Slums of Beverly Hills, Donnie Darko, Let the Right One In (which is what the perfect vampire film should be, IMO) and Inception. If the question only referred to films released this year, then it's Inception, hands down. I watched that four times at the cinema, and I never got tired of that shit.

Your favorite book read this year?
Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell, the most darkly hilarious book I've read to date. I bought it when I found it on the top of the "Below P300" pile at National Bookstore. (You'd have bought it too if the cover looked like this.) You'd also be interested to know that the book has its very own trailer posted at youtube.

Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
If iTunes is to be believed, it's a toss-up between Led Zeppelin's "The Rain Song", Thursday's "Standing on the Edge of Summer", and Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" (...DON'T JUDGE ME). If it isn't obvious, I don't really keep myself updated with today's music: I just stick to what I already know and listen to it obsessively.

Your favorite TV show of the year?
BBC's Sherlock. And Supernatural, which is the only series I followed this year. (I stopped watching SYTYCD faithfully after two of my favorite contestants left the show due to injuries and I couldn't take Kent's small-town boy antics anymore. Alex and Ashley, why did you two have to leave so soon? *sob*)

Your favorite community of the year?
Hmm...I think it'd be [livejournal.com profile] rec_hymenated, because a.) no one can send me enough recs to satisfy my urge to read good fics; and b.) I love Dean and Castiel together whether as friends or lovers, so any community that gives me both makes me squee with glee.

Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
BBC's Sherlock, hands down. WHY CAN'T IT BE AUGUST NOW, ARGH.

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
ALEX FREAKING WONG GETTING INJURED ON SYTYCD. God, did I really get the urge to sob uncontrollably when they announced that he ruptured his Achilles tendon.

I also hated the fact that I missed out on Neil Gaiman's visit here in Manila because...well I forgot why I missed out on it, actually. I'm fairly sure it was important, though.

Oh! And Glee's second season! It's such a weak follow-up to the first season (Sue's characterization is all over the place, it's not even funny anymore) and Will makes me want to bash his head in every time he appears on-screen. The only good things that came out of S2 are the Rocky Horror episode and Kurt's relationship with Blaine.

Your TV boyfriend of the year?
I really don't know, haha. Maybe Alex Freaking Wong (if he swings my way), because damn can that man dance. I hope his injury heals well and that he's back dancing his heart out.

Your TV girlfriend of the year?
Kathryn McCormick, who's my favorite female dancer out of all the seasons of SYTYCD. I love her personality, she really connects with her partners, and I envy her legs (they're awesome!). She was really good in her season, but IMO she really shone as an All-Star. My favorite routine from S6 was her contemporary routine with Jakob, but I felt that she really stood out in Dee Caspary's contemporary group number in S7, and not only because she's featured in the choreography (she's the one in the white dress).

Your biggest squee moment of the year?
Oh...I don't know. Maybe when Misha Collins tweeted this picture. I don't know why, but the combination of Jensen's WTF face and his...mini-motorcycle?...and Jared's 'huh?' expression and uber long legs had me squeeing with glee. I love it when "cool" people act like total dorks. :D

The most missed of your old fandoms?
Hmm...I think it'd be RK, because not a lot of people produce quality fic for that series anymore.

The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I haven't tried watching any new stuff yet because with the amount of fic that I normally read, my course load, and real life shenanigans, I really don't have time to get into new stuff. I did borrow my mom's copy of Modern Family (to be watched over the holidays--hopefully), so maybe I'd get into the fandom? (But I never really get into the 'mainstream' TV show fandoms because I find the fans either too crazy or too vanilla. Um.)

Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
Sherlock, Avatar: The Legend of Korra, and the rest of SPN!

I was re-reading Emma earlier and now I'm starting to wonder how the events of the novel would have played out if Emma had been presented at court, or at least experienced a Season in town. Would she be more or less high-handed and snobbish as she is in the novel?

Hm. Thoughts to ponder on.

By Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen's beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton...[read the entire synopsis here]

THIS LOOKS SO AWESOME WHY IS IT NOT IN THE MARKET YET??? (Also: I hope it gets released here. Or else I will just cry.)

I just got back from buying the Penguin Popular Classics editions of Mansfield Park and Emma. Now, it says on the cover that it's sold for £2 each in the UK, which amounts to more or less PhP166 at the current exchange rate. However, each book costs only PhP50, so I paid only PhP100 for both books, which is around £1.20. o___O

How do they earn profits, may I ask you?

finluithiel: (Default)
Multi-fandom recs, this time. (Man, I've missed doing this. The last proper rec post was posted November last year. :/)

CATEGORY: Sharpe
Title: Sharpe's Descent
Author: [livejournal.com profile] farothiel
Rating: T (PG-13)
Genre: General
Status: Work-in-Progress
Summary: Follows on directly from the end of Sharpe’s Eagle (book, not film). Sharpe’s life is turned upside-down by an unexpected arrival.
Comments: Delightful and slightly cracky. Mostly about Sharpe and Wellesley, with a bit of Hogan thrown in. :D Be warned, though: the author updates sporadically. Not recommended for impatient people.

- - -

CATEGORY: Dexter
Title: Water Through a Rusted Pipe
Author: Pirate Perian ([livejournal.com profile] thunderemerald)
Rating: PG
Genre: General
Status: Complete
Summary: Deb sees a side of her brother that she's never seen before, and asks some awkward questions. Dexter, in answering them, decides to experiment with truth.
Comments: A post-S2 scenario: what if Deb finds out about Dexter's late night escapades? This fic's sequel, Something is Cracking, is also not to be missed.

Title: Tiny Monsters
Author: [livejournal.com profile] linaerys
Rating: M (R), for violence
Genre: General
Status: Complete
Summary: When left alone with Dexter following the apocalypse, someone begins to suspect he’s not what they thought he was.
Comments: Part of the end of the world challenge at [livejournal.com profile] apocalyptothon. Lovely fic.

- - -

CATEGORY: Pirates of the Caribbean
Title: Pretending to Save Her
Author: Jedipati ([livejournal.com profile] immortal_jedi)
Rating: T (PG-13)
Genre: Adventure
Status: Complete
Summary: The crew of the Black Pearl attacks Port Royal. The first mate is surprised to see a familiar face. Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann are both taken captive. CotBP AU
Comments: I love this scenario. The plot isn't your run-of-the-mill AU. However, the writing style is something I had to get used to, but it's just a matter of preference, I suppose.

- - -

CATEGORY: Lord of the Rings
Title: On the Wings of the Storm
Author: Lialathuveril
Rating: T (PG-13)
Genre: Romance/General
Status: Work-in-Progress
Summary: The year before the Ring War, Princess Lothiriel of Dol Amroth is sent to Rohan by her father to seek shelter from the storm brewing in Mordor. There she meets Éomer, Third Marshal of the Riddermark. Unfortunately they do not hit it off...at first.
Comments: The reason why I just love Eomer/Lothiriel fics is because there's no established canon for their romance, not even in the Unfinished Tales. Which is really a shame, since Eomer is one of my favorite characters. Anyway, I love this fic because everyone's characterizations are spot on, and the author's interpretation of Lothiriel is so good that I can really see the possibility of romantic frisson between her and Eomer. What I mean to say is, their romance isn't contrived. It feels natural. It's definitely one of the best LOTR fics I've read.

- - -

CATEGORY: Bleach
Title: Brightly Burning
Author: icefalcon ([livejournal.com profile] anaelau)
Rating: K+ (PG)
Genre: General
Status: Complete
Summary: He had always intended to join the fourth division, and he’d beat up anyone who said different.

Title: Contagion
Author: incandescens
Rating: M (R)
Genre: Adventure/Horror
Status: Work-in-Progress
Summary: Some things which are forgotten should be forgotten. Except when they are awakened, and then nobody is safe. Sixth Division begins its investigation. Set after Ichigo's group returns from Soul Society, with possible spoilers.
Comments: Quasi-sci-fi explanations for Hollows make my day. Really. And the character dynamics make me squee, especially the Nanao/Ukitake/Shunsui interactions. :D

Title: Project Tatterdemalion
Author: Vathara
Rating: M (R)
Genre: Sci-fi/Horror
Status: Complete
Summary: What if Hollows were caused by an alien virus? Sci-fi AU.
Comments: As I said, sci-fi explanations for Hollows make my day. The author has a way with blending 'science' with Kubo-logic, and the fact that the Kurosaki papa is geeky in this fic makes me squee with glee. Repeatedly. Definitely a must-read.

- - -

CATEGORY: Crossover
Title: Mind Over Matter
Author: sherlock21b
Rating: K+ (PG)
Genre: General/Drama
Status: Complete
Summary: The mutant telepathic attack on the world's population in X-Men: United has some unusual repercussions at Princeton-Plainsboro. House and X-Men crossover.

Rating: T (PG-13)
Genre: General

Rating: K+ (PG)
Genre: General
Status: Complete
Summary: The origin of the Prince line. Harry Potter/Starudust

Genre: Family/Drama
Status: Work-in-Progress
Summary: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion meet Little Women, by Louisa May Alcott, in this 19th century New England variation.
Comments: Little Women is one of the first "serious" books I ever read, and crossing it over with Austen novels made me squee with glee when I saw this gem of a fic on FF.net.

I read Ella Enchanted earlier. 'Twas nice; it has a different kind of charm from the film based on it -- actually, the film doesn't resemble the novel at all. I still can't decide which one I like better, because they're both cute in their own quirky ways. Heh. :D

***

I've watched up to episode 5 of the taiga drama Shinsengumi!, and heh, I love their casting choices. Katori Shingo as Kondou Isami was a wise move, but I must say I'm really happy that Odagiri Joe played Saitou Hajime!

The thought of a yakuza!Saitou tickles me, considering the fact he ends up a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. I don't know how historically accurate that is (all that's known about his life before the Bakumatsu is that he's from a family of gokenin, low-class samurai), but seeing him hustling people for money made me laugh like a loon.

Also, the way Odagiri-san portrayed him in episode 5 gave me an insight to his motives for marrying then leaving behind Shinoda Yaso for Takagi Tokio...which gave rise to a plot bunny. It'll probably never leave my harddrive as I usually hate the things I end up writing, but but but! Oh, the thoughts racing through my head right now! I'm feeling really giddy, hee!

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

"Take the child from the house, deep into the woods, far beyond where anyone might find her."
"There are woods enough to lose a child in."
"I want her more than lost. I want her life."
"The woods will take her life."

I'm currently at the public library here in Kolding and OMG THEY HAVE THE ENTIRE WATCHMEN SERIES IN ONE HARDBOUND EDITION. The thing is, it's in freaking DANISH. HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO READ WATCHMEN IF IT'S IN DANISH???

God, why couldn't the public libraries in the Philippines be like this. Oh yeah, I forgot - there aren't any public libraries in the Philippines. Damn it.

Spent almost an hour just losing myself in the awesomeness that is the new bookstore at Robinson's Galleria earlier and I swear, once everything is over and done with, I am so going to spend an entire day just browsing their shelves.

***

Watched Because I Said So with Teh Baby Sister earlier. Diane Keaton was very, very fake, but the hotness that is Gabriel Macht made up for it. In fact, if he weren't so hot, I'd say that the film was a total waste.

But the D'OH! moment for me was the part where Diane Keaton's character says, "I'm not some miserable character from a Tennessee Williams play!" whereupon my mind suddenly goes, "Why could I not hide from The Glass Menagerie? Why do I have to be reminded of my Lit finals? Gah, bah, and darnation!--cosmos, what did I do to you?" From that point on, I keet on labeling her as "Amanda Wingfield" in my head, with Mandy Moore being "Laura," and hot-shot architect whatshisname as "Jim O'Connor." Hot Guy was labeled as "Tom Wingfield" by my brain, as I fixated on him ever since I started watching the film, much as I did on Jake de Leon when I watched TA's production of Glass Menagerie. Ahaha.

I need to shut up about the film now.

I miss having air conditioned classrooms. D:

Tomorrow, from 11.30am up to 4.00pm, I WILL NOT BE DOING ANYTHING. AT ALL.

I will while away the afternoon at the Bellarmine Field. I will finally, finally, finish (re-)reading Jane Eyre, and finish The Picture of Dorian Grey. I will. I WILL.

Bah, studying and surfing The Intrawebs take up to much of my time. I couldn't even finish a 500-page novel in a single day anymore. *le sigh*

Damn it, they shouldn't have assigned this story for lit class. Because now I want to re-read The Woman Who Had Two Navels, a novel that still makes me snerk whenever I deign to think about it. XD

My dad just bought a second-hand copy of Joseph Heller's novel Closing Time, which is a sequel to his first novel, Catch-22.

I haven't exactly finished reading Catch-22 yet. The only copy I found at SPCP's library looked as though it has only a few hours to live - it was that beat up - so I didn't dare to take it home with me, because the school might make me pay for it. (Blegh.)

Anyway, I'm going to read it. I have a feeling I'm going to take it up in my first semester for ENGsomenumberorother, aka Introduction to Fiction since my dad said that they took it up when he was in college. So, yeah. XD
