Ahhhh! *huge sigh of contentment*

Okay, I just got back from watching The Incredibles. Seriously, it is a good movie. Usually I'm very picky as to what movies I like or don't like and the ones I absolutely adore but this is one of them that I just love from watching it the first time.

I probably can't do it justice because I really suck at reviews but my recommendation: GO SEE IT. And Diana, tell Kent to go see it with his friends. They'll love it.

Literally, I was smiling through the entire movie. It had some moments where I was just sorta kinda okay with it but not that many. Most of the time I was like blown away by how good it was. Pixar has a hit on their hands with this one, methinks. My roommates seem to think it was a bit violent for being PG but I was okay with it.

As for the reviews of the previews:

Son of the Mask -- they so should not make that in a sequel. It wasn't that great the first time around.

The Zoo movie: looks good so I'm skeptical about it.

The Car movie: Definitely looks weird. Don't know what it would be about or if it'll be any good.

The Polar Express (like the one of few movies I actually remembered the name of): I am definitely looking forward to this one. I loved the book so much as a kid (read it every year for Christmas) and Tom Hanks! Tom Hanks!

The Tim Allen movie -- will probably be average. A typical Christmas time sorta thing. Whatever.

What else... Don't remember anything else...

Anyway, that movie was definitely good for me. I was having a shitty day (lab was HELL, am so gonna fail, why does God hate me?!) and ended up feeling really crappy. I don't wanna talk about it -- it's just gonna make me upset again and I don't want to burst my artificial bubble of happiness that's carrying over from the movie so I'm not gonna talk about it.

I did watch the new eppie of KKM. I want the next one NOW!!! I need to know about Hube although I wanna skip the whole Julia bits of it... Yes, sherry is vaguely aware of what the story is but that doesn't mean I don't want to see it for myself. Really, all I want to see is the interaction between Yuuri and Hube when Hube knows Yuuri is the Maou.

Yuuri... That just reminds me of Yuri from Chem lab, lect, lab lect and clinic. In my mind he's Yuri, Big Russian Man because damn is that guy big. And hunky. I have no doubt in my mind he's Russian even though he has an American accent. I half expect him to come out with a Russian accent and every time he doesn't, I'm like shocked, lol. That's so bad. But damn is he fine... Blue eyes, blond hair, so damn typical but I don't care. He's eye candy to Sherry. :)

Oh, something I forgot to mention in yesterday's blog:

I passed this sign yesterday walking from recitation to clinic and it said:

Partially Sprinklered

I know it makese sense if you stop to think about it and all but really, that's just weird.

I've been thinking about making a MP3 rotation site... I know, stupid but I'm always so grateful for all those other people who offer MP3s... I do have some space off my school server (not much but enough for a couple of MP3s). I just don't know if anyone would care... I never get the newest releases as early as everyone else and the old stuff... I don't know... I have a lot random things too. Well, I'll think about it some more.

I am so uninformed...

Winter coats. I just don't understand them.

I know they're essential, especially when I'm living in New York City. I know that. People tell me that all the time. My mother reminds me about it every time she calls.

I just don't understand though!

In Oregon, I wore a jacket during the fall and winter months. That was perfectly fine. I was happy with that. I thought that was wearing a lot but apparently, that's practically naked here.

Here, it's weird.

You have to actually go out and buy a big, heavy winter coat. What? What the hell is a winter coat? A coat for winter, I assume but aside from that I'm absolutely clueless. I don't know what to do. I don't even know if I'd recognize one if I see it. How am I supposed to buy one myself? God, it's times like this I wish my mom had just bought one for me.

But damn!

Since I am so clueless when it comes to this "winter coat" thing, I decided to do some research. God damn Bloomingdale's and Macy's websites to be down at the same time just when I was about to look for one. I searched some other sites and so far, I've come to these conclusions:

A winter coat is an expensive piece of clothing that is supposedly a "more expensive" item that people spend their money on. That is very disappointing as I really don't want to spend money like that. Apparently, I should think about the price range $199-250. That's a lot of money! I know I shouldn't skimp on something like this but...but...but...

Wool is good. Cashmere also good. Oh, and I also need scarfs and gloves and boots... God, how much is this going to cost?! O.o I really don't want to be spending this money...

And it's not even as if I have that much time! I have midterms for the next two weeks so I'm thinking that one weekend after midterms before Thankgiving I'll go and buy it. I'm going to hit Manhattan Mall, Macy's, Century 21 and Bloomingdales hopefully all in one weekend... I think I might have to spend the entire weekend working away at it... Damn. From the end of the Chem exam at about 3:30 on Friday I can go to one place and spend the afternoon there. Then Saturday is spent first in lab and then the rest of the day in shops. Sunday, all day shopping exploration and hopefully purchases will all have been made by now. Hopefully. Hey, I can always return unused items right?

Okay, that sounds like a plan. No we'll have to see if I'll follow through with it.

For Diana-chan!

Sherry's watching Madlax at 4:30 AM...

The insert song is sooo good. You must download. So I've put it up for you. :)

http://homepages.nyu.edu/~smc449/02%20Nowhere.mp3

It's 7.51 MB but download it anyway! It's good, I swear.

Sherry found Dear Boys Sound Selection! Sooo happy!!!

Ahh...Nowhere... it's such a good song. The vocals blend really well with the background...chanting? I'm not sure what to call it. The violin, gods, the violin! So beautiful! It's ethereal, it's fast, the beat is great. The English even blends well with it. It's wild, it's sad, it's anticipation. It sounds like something out of a hopeless quest movie, it's something out of a jungle. It's just a good song. It fits really well with the anime. God, I love this song. Can't get enough of it. Download it. I can't describe it all that well, but it's a great song so please download it.

Ah, Keiichi Anime Forever (http://anime.therisenrealm.com/) is a great site but too many people are downloading! I can't get my tracks... :( But the song is making me happy again. :)

So good! God, I wish I had translations for it... I really want to know what it's saying... Going to search, NOW!

edit x1: Ahh, sometimes I love Google. Soo good! Here are the lyrics!

Nowhere
FictionJunction Yuuka

Tell me the story of your soul.
Look at me without turning your eyes away.
You think that I am non-existent.

If you run to the unseen place,
and leave behind the unnecessary decorations,
even with an empty heart, the load is too heavy

Only the dream, that flies when blown,
links the two people.

Disobey the guidance of the all-showing star,
and run straight up
towards the door in the sky,
I will go anywhere.

The yellow loneliness of petals
If it can experience the hearts of two,
I think your loneliness will disappear from then on.

More important than the consolation desired now,
More important than the temporary laughter,
I think I want to see the inner you.

The gentle tomorrow that the all-showing star shown.
More importantly, to move towards the bright future.

Tell me the story of your soul.
Look at me without turning your eyes away.
The yellow loneliness of petals
will not turn around, so I wonder where will the two of us go.

Disobey the guidance of the all-showing star,
and run straight up
towards the door in the sky,
resist the gentle, smiling fate.
If there is courage in you to find me,
I will be everywhere.

*
The real you and the real me,
will definitely reach our meeting spot.
Disobey fate, scatter tears,
even so I want to meet you.
we will reach to nowhere land
take me to the nowhere land
*

Lyrics... soo good....The picture it paints... Wow. Sad, angsty, bittersweet, just like how I like things! I love this song!!! I love it even more now!!! (Now if only I can figure out where the asterisked stanza goes...)


And the romanji lyrics:

tamashii no hanashi wo kikasete yo
hitomi wo sorasazu mitsumete yo
anata wa watashi ga doko nimo inai to omotteru

mienai basho made hashiru nara
iranai kazari wa furisutete
kokoro wo mukidashi ni shitemo nimotsu wa omosugiru no

fukeba tobu yona yume dake ga
futari wo musunderu

subete wo miseru hoshi no michibiki ni somuite
massugu ni kakeagaru
sora ni aru tobira e
doko made mo watashi wa yuku no

hanabira no kiiroi sabishisa wo
futatsu no kokoro de nameaeba
anata wa kodoku ga koko kara kieru to omotteru

ima dake hoshii nagusame yori
kawaita hayari no warai yori
watashi wa anata no mannaka ga mitai to omotteru no

subete wo miseru hoshi no michibiku yasashii ashita
sore yori akarui mirai eto yuku kara

tamashii no hanashi wo kikasete yo
hitomi wo sorasazu mitsumete yo
hanabira no kiiroi sabishisa wo
furimukazu futari wa doko made yukou to omotteru no

subete wo miseru hoshi no michibiki ni somuite
massugu ni kakeagaru sora ni aru tobira e
yasashige ni hohoemu unmei ni somuite

*
hontou no anata yo hontou no watashi ga
deaeru basho made kitto ikeru hazu
unmei ni somuite namida wo chirashi te
sore demo aitai
we will reach to nowhere land
take me to the nowhere land
*


Okay, that's enough lyrics for now...

edit x2: *Sherry glassy eyed* I's found ID mp3 treasure trove! With soundfiles, the mp3s I have NEVER been able to get. Sooo happy right now... *laughs maniacally* But it's 5 AM... Damn. Tomorrow then. Or today really. Okay!

edit x3: Okay, figured it out. They go right around the time she sings: "subete wo miseru hoshi no michibiku yasashii ashita" and goes to the end of that stanza. It should sound like chaos and disorder but it works and it's so wonderfully blended... *sighs* The effect the overlapping lyrics have is just magnificent. I really love this song.

Okay, Diana, if you haven't gotten it by now that I really love this song, then you're an idiot. Download it! It's good! It's not a soft song though -- fast, definitely fast. It's like it dashes back and forth, afraid to be caught but at the same time very alluring. And I can't help but think of this as a painful song as well...

edit x4: Okay, last one, I swear. The OSTs of Madlax, the music of Madlax, so beautiful. The flutes, the pipes, the bells, the violins (god, so heartwrenching!), they mesh so well... And don't forget the piano. Sooo beautiful, even if they are with a twinge of sadness... Everything is covered in this layer of blue; you can't escape it. It's everywhere but the songs, they're still so good. These are instrumentals I wouldn't mind listening to. I usually don't like instrumentals at all, but these are beautiful. Everything is just utilized so well to make a nice whole. I'm happy. I'm content. It does make me a bit sad but it's a good sadness. I recommend both CDs.

edit x5: I lied. I have one more thing to say. This is in reference to Nowhere.

Wow.

Wow.

Powerful.

Wow.


I'm done now. ^_-

Quiz

Gacked from Diana.


You are the Social Anxiety disorder rock! :(

Um... My fear of people and social situations isn't *that* extreme...

Another Quiz

Kara replied to my last quiz post and I had a sudden urge to go to her xanga and there I found this:


You're a Winter. You very much enjoy your time
alone but do like other people's company
sometimes. You just need your space. You have a
few priviledged friends who saw past your
colder exterior to find the true you. You can
have pretty bad mood swings (though you hate to
admit it) so you could be soft one second then
storming around the next! But over all, you're
a very pleasant person once people take the
time to get to know you. You're a good friend
for in-depth talks. You're very talanted when
it comes to creative things.(If you can't see
tje pics, go to my homepage and look near the
bottom and find your result)


What season are you? (pics)

This describes me surprisingly well actually.
