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

:: Aahh, caught up with you guys' posts. That took a while. @_@;

:: I can't believe it's March already! It's amazing how time has been flying by. Though, I do wish it'd slow down when it matters.

:: I should start on Fanime stuff soon. Maybe this weekend...And I might switch out Akizuki and/or Yui for Frau raeps Tater tiem with eeveil.

:: So I guess I'm going to Sakura Gathering after all. My costume's a surprise~ I've never had a secret cosplay before and am terribly amused by the fact that I finally have a one, lol. I'll, of course, bring my camera so I can be trigger happy. Or does anyone wanna lemme borrow a nicer camera to practice with? *puppy eyes*

:: Also, look! I found more pics of me in Rengokuinn. :D I had to process them like whoa though cuz they were hella dark and VERY yellow when I found them; I think it's a decent enough job what with my amateur skills...



:: Randomly, I had no idea Gorillaz had been off the radar for so long. Tbh, I had forgotten about them a bit. But the new MV's awesome. :D They're CG'd and and and BRUCE WILLIS! Click me cuz I can't embed the video..

Though where is Russel? I agree with one of the comments, it would've been awesome to see him pop outta the trunk and blast Willis away. XD

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!

:: I think I'd rather watch The Fast and the Bi Curious than the original, hahahaha.

:: Amatsuki at AX people~! Would you want to have a picnic whenever we wear our costumes? The characters are always eating so I think it'd be uber cute! T3T Not to mention, it'd keep us fed because you know how our eating habits go out the window during cons, haha. It'd probably be a potluck of sorts and I don't think I'd mind other people joining, just not too many. I do wish the LA Convention Center had some sort of greenery though. :[

:: Now for something cool yet kinda creepy --> OMG, IT'S DOCTOR MANHATTAN!!!

They're actually tiny and dying but still-powerful stars called pulsars that spin like crazy and light up their surroundings. More of it here. It's really quite crazy that that existed 17,000 years ago and that light just barely reached us now. O__O

:: Happy meme day 3:

♥ Receiving Christmas cards from you guys. X) Well, technically I got some from about two days ago, I just didn't read them all until today.

♥ Watching that SNL parody of Beyonce's Single Ladies with JT nerdcore posted. Omgggg, so hilarious.

♥ Watching Soul Eater. Not caught up just yet though! :x

*EDIT 2* ALDKJSLRUOEDLD @ SE 34-36!! *__* Ugh, I want Soul in a pinstripe suit for Christmas please. <33~ But seriously, I'm loving that the other newer characters kick ass, too. X) And poor Stein!! I just want to hug him, but I can't wait to see where this all will go. Oh it'll definitely be awesome.

♥ Jasmine green tea. Mmm~

♥ Squealing at all the Totoro image results I pulled up for a fanart request. They're so cute for blobs. ;__;

:: Here, have some cool music I just found out about:

"Poker Face" - Lady Gaga. I can't embed this. :[

"I'll Run" - The Cab


:: It's probably old by now but I just found it, so I'm sharing. :P It's an awesome Dark Knight/Toy Story 2 mashup.



:: Wtf. My new phone won't connect to my Bluetooth headset. >:\ There's nothing online that addresses possible issues in connecting the two specific models. I tried connecting the headset to my sis' phone and it didn't work either. So hm...maybe it's the headset but it was working fine with my old phone and new phone connected fine with my laptop...O__o;

:: Lol, I felt so bad today. I had to ask one of the post office people to fish out my one letter in a bin full of other people's mail and it took him forever. ^^;;;

I had to use two cards from last year because I ran out of what I had bought this year and well...they apparently need 20 more cents of postage than usual. I only found this out because I forgot to put a stamp on one of them. :x I guess I must have used "forever" stamps last year because they mailed out without a problem.

The last batch will hopefully go out latest Tuesday! I apologize if any of you get a card late! :x

:: WHUT. .__. Nooo, what have you done to my beloved stray dogsss. I'm scared, lol. B-but at least it's an OAV and not anime? :\

*ETA* LOL, SOMEONE'S LISTENING TO "DANCING QUEEN" DOWNSTAIRS. XD

Those of you who're subscribed to any LJ DN comm might have seen this already. But here it is anyway. It's like brilliant. XD



Ok...hw time. *grumbles*
