Lolli Lolli Oh Lollipop

I saw R.E.D. last night with silvernaofficer and mollypocket at the Arclight Theaters. Man, that theater's crazy fancy. Their board of movies tells you when seating's begun, in progress or stopped for a showing. It was also quite odd being able to choose where you sit. I've done the assigned seating in theaters but they were in Taiwan and I didn't get to choose. They also have a glorified usher welcoming us to the movie. I seriously thought she was going to give us a synopsis of what we were about to watch, but she didn't, lol. I liked how they had no movie trivia questions nor advertisements from local establishments before the showtime.

The movie itself was entertaining. I really loved Helen Mirren in it, haha. And John Malkovich wasn't bad either in a wow crazy man sort of way. He was very good for lulz. ( Cut for spoilers, in case. )

Afterwards, we were on a hunt for dinner. I had found a sushi place in Hollywood, only to find that it was closed, wtf. So, we wandered a bit down Hollywood Boulevard and ended up at Lotería, some fancier smancier Mexican place. The food was pretty good. I didn't appreciate our waiter not telling us that the chips and salsa/guacamole weren't on the house. But, I guess it was also our fault for not asking? We're all so used to getting free bread, chips and salsa, etc. at other restaurants.

Then it was off to Cinespace, where we weren't ready to be surrounded by hordes of hipsters. The carpet also vaguely smelled of soggy wetness. Gross. Then the carpet in the actual room with the stage was all sticky. Even grosser. I went for Wyatt's band One Silver Astronaut. They weren't bad, really chill mellow stuff. Though the xylophone bugged the crap out of me. Maybe the mic on it was too loud... Kiev was pretty cool. We didn't get to see the remaining bands as we left around 11:30 pm. Ah well.

Bonnie wanted to make a drinking game out of how many people were wearing flannel shirts. Or leggings. Or messenger bags. I think we would've been smashed within 20 minutes.

While walking to Cinespace, we came up to some random guy who was air shooting cars driving by with an imaginary rifle. o___o; Then there were three random teenage boys trying to chat it up with us or something. Oh Hollywood. It's like a tamer version of Vegas at night.

( Hey, look pics + a video! )

That meme:
Day 02- The meaning behind your LiveJournal name.
I think most of you know this already. It's a rather boring story. I needed an alias for cosplay and couldn't think of anything for the longest time that wasn't something lame or extremely weaboo. So I was driving somewhere and an Evanescence song came on the radio. The result was basically EVAN(+A)E-(scence). Yeahhh....and I don't even like her, though butchering "Bring Me to Life" at karaoke once in a while is exhilaratingly hilarious. |D

Click on photo for a larger version.

Btw, I think I have one or two more slots open if anyone wants anything.

Meme yoinked from naoekun, done by everyone by now. XD

I tried to not to pick the obvious ones like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo or FLCL that we all know are awesome.

( Click me. )

Omagad, it's December already! @_@;

Christmas card reminder! If you'd like one, please leave your address here!

:: Tater Teito wig and contacts progress test! Geez, I look VERY MOE. O_o;



Reference for those who dunno: Click me.

I think I need to fiddle with the back some more...and maybe add more layers, texture...maybe low spikes or something...I feel like I look like it's too head-hugging and that I have a lollipop head. XD;;

:: This weekend was a sewing party with ycysusan. We got some things done! She worked on Magic Knight Rayearth and I worked on Teito. I'll put up some photos of the capelet later. First, I need to see if I can iron flat the pleather bias tape I used -- it's a bit poofy right now and I think the foot on her machine might've shifted the fabric. :x

( Evil, isn't she? )

:: Saturday night was akusesu's birthday thinger~ It was fun and chill! We had yummy food as usual and an awesome very lemony cake Bert made! Then we played Apples to Apples which was fun but lol a lot of people got lame cards.

evalime also brought the rum.

( THE GAY RUM )

We also found out rum and ginger ale isn't bad at all. :o

:: Here's the alphabet meme I stole from avaricious earlier, so might as well post it.

( Do you know your ABCs? )

Damn nap. I feel like it's 10 or 11 pm but nooo it's way past midnight. o_o;

So uh. Meme time cuz I'm bored. Stolen from bluestraggler.

1) Post a list of up to 30 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc.
2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character from each item.

FYI, some have more than just one favorite character.

( Ready? )

And this one's from rynn_sama.

Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in - it can be anything from the house I live in to my favorite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life, if you're remotely interested in it.

I swear my life is exciting...>>;

( Meme stolen from nitaspitas )

I hope to have at least a progress pic to show tonight...either Akizuki's cape or styled wig. I really have not been making much headway in either. Blah.

Oh crap, I need to do my taxes, too...

Hmmm, what's going on? O_o;

There's police activity at the intersection of Main and Ann where I work. I'm like half a block away from it. I hear a helicopter. There are at least four cop cars blocking those streets. A not so good thing is that there's an elementary school at the intersection, too...

I can't find anything about it online.

*EDIT* Diligence at work? What's that?

( That pick a world from each pair meme. )

And this: T H E N ↔ N O W

Cuz curiosity might kill the Cindy.

Tagged by tinted_glass.
1. go to the fourth folder on your computer where you store your pictures,
2. pick the fourth picture in that folder,
3. explain the picture,
4. tag four people to do the same

Depending on how I view the files (as icons or as a list)...I either get this:

( Nice...lol. )

I tag uh...bluestragger, konishii, kircheis and fattastik.

Didn't do much today other than exchange this Hot Tools flat iron I bought from Ulta (think of Sephora but...they sell both salon and drug store brand named beauty and hair products) that DID NOT work on my stubborn ass hair for this Remington Wet 2 Straight something or rather one that has ceramic plates which the Hot Tools one didn't have. The girl recommended it to me. So...let's hope this works out well because I still can't justify spending $150 on a Chi even though I KNOW that one works very well.

Happy meme day 6:

♥ sakurae sending me videos of that fobby Korean guy singing Mariah Carey songs. "Tachi Ma Badee" was sooo funny, even the 3rd time around. XDD

♥ Macaroni by Ellie Mamahara. Even if it's just shounen-ai, ALDJLSDKJLDJF!!!! It still makes me squeal. T^T And and...get this: HER STORIES HAVE A PLOT. *gasp* In Yaoiland? Yes. YES.

It's about this boy, Robin, who gets uprooted from his calm life with his guardian priest and goes on a journey with two cowboys. One who's a quickshot womanizer named Sydney Rush and the other's a mysterious, lawless KATANA-WIELDER named Ted Viper. At one point, they have to travel in cognito. Sydney's brilliant plan was to pretend to be a family...GUESS WHO WAS "MOMMY"? XDD

♥ I'm more amused than happy about this but I bought an address book with the title "My Bitches" on the cover. Hahaha. Yes, y'all are mah bitches. Dat's rite.

♥ Half day at work tomorrow! Hoping to leave at 1 or 2 pm~ :D

♥ So I guess my dad DID end up going with my mom + a few other relatives to Vegas. Which means...MY SIS AND I ARE HOME ALONE WITH THE CAT. WOOOOO. \o/~~ IT'S SO QUIET. I LOVE IT.

:: I found a yellow v-neck shirt at Ross that I'm hoping will work for Maka's sweater vest. It's still a somewhat bright yellow. I give up on finding the right color, at least it's not hi-liter yellow? Lol. The bottom isn't technically correct either...but I'll see if I can find ribbed fabric in the same shade of yellow tomorrow when I go to JoAnn's for ribbon (Michael's fails in their ribbon dept D: ). If they don't have anything...oh well? ^^; I guess I can't be completely accurate and it is such a little part of her entire outfit...

I also got a new exercise ball since my mom tossed the old one cuz it was leaking air. It's PINK. Oh god. They had no other ones...there was one that looked like those handballs you'd find in the market and had no ridges on it which I feel may keep me on the ball better.

:: Then I bought a little black dress to wear to the gay boys' New Year's thing in case I go. Well, I guess I can wear it any other occassion that calls for such attire, too. I almost want a pair of brightly colored heels to go with it now...lol.

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Off the top of my head, I know Chris Kirkpatrick from *NSYNC and Eminem! XD

But after a google search, apparently I also share my birthday with Arthur Miller, Rita Hayward, Evel Knievel, Wyclef Jean, Nick Cannon, Mike Judge, and Norm McDonald.

Oh and for the boys: Shauna O'Brien and Brooke Richards. Haha.

As for similarities...I have no clue. I can't write like Arthur nor rap like Eminem. I definitely don't have Brooke's boobs. :')

Uhm happy meme day 2:

♥ Taiwan High Mountain Oolong tea X) *goes to brew another cup*

♥ Singing random songs with Nard at work. Oh and our dirty jokes and remarks to each other. Lol.

♥ Getting my $8.07 food reimbursement from being on PMX staff! 8D

I just realized I didn't tag anyone yesterday...lol. Uhm, whoever wants to do it? XD
