I'm like a billion years behind on LJ. Sorry.

GUYS.

GUYS.

...GUYS.

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING RELEASE DATE.

IT IS IN LIKE A WEEK I CAN'T HANDLE THIS. I don't know if I want to just order it from Amazon now, or go to the game store next Tuesday. Also, Valentine's Day release LOL. Except I have three midterms the following week. Fuck my life.

I think I need to write more. It's been a year. A full year. I can't believe this the Summer of Love 2008 when I was spending hours a day reading the KinkMeme and producing 300+ pages in three months seems so recent, and now I'm grossly behind on everything in this fandom.

So is Naoto/Kanji, but I haven't done anything creative in that arena, and I don't think making a costume counts.

I've been on semi-hiatus (unannounced) as of late. Kind of. What with grad school interviews (just did UCLA~! I saw skuldchan and fabula_umbrae and Hillel, faggotry good times were had by all, even if it was for all of two hours) and honors thesis and poster symposium and graduating and other bullshit this semester. Oh, and I have to do my scientific public outreach project, which is going to come after thesis defense in March. Anybody want to contribute to that? It's about the real science behind science fiction and fantasy. Articles are at a laypublic (easy) reading level.

Also, I stand by my facebook status: "We Are the Champions" isn't about sports, the same way "Bicycle Race" isn't about bicycles and "Fat Bottomed Girls" isn't about girls. Which is why I get a huge, sadistic kick out of seeing homophobic jocks sing along with it. This was mostly in Texas at football games.

I still think Bohemian Rhapsody is about AIDS. I don't care if the time period doesn't match up. Queen can go back in time with the power of fabulous.

What the fuck, Dexter? This is the second ad you've done that's shown up on the feminist radar. Both for Dodge. What is this. I'm so disappointed. Not as disappointed as I am in Johnny Depp. I think my heart's been broken.

Ground control to Major Tom?.

Yeah, homework.

I knew there was a reason I never really liked liked Depp as a person, and only in some movies as characters. My stomach turns at the commercials for Alice in Wonderland. It's like Tim Burton said fuck it, and decided to just throw whatever out there, and see what sticks. I like most, but Corpse Bride pissed me off, and I feel like Wonderland will as well.

Burton's Alice in Wonderland reminds me a lot of The Looking Glass Wars for some reason. Maybe it's the war aspect.

That being said, I dislike Depp's Mad Hatter character design. I was so excited when I heard Burton was doing Alice. Sounded orgasmic. Now that I've seen the result, I'm disappointed. I was expecting more Nightmare Before Christmas and Edward Scissorhands and less Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as an aesthetic inspiration.

I used to have a huge crush on Johnny Depp. Not Jack Sparrow Depp or Fear and Loathing Depp, but Sleepy Hollow Ichabod Craine, specifically. That aesthetic. Antiquated nerdy with a good gothic influence.
