Thlayli is the Lapine name for Bigwig, the rabbit Lika is obsessed with from "Watership Down". Unfortunately, finding a picture of Bigwig is impossible, so Karen will have to do. Lika isn't shedding any tears over that ^_~

Off on a bad foot I should be at my first class of the year right now, but I forgot my buspass and got to school twenty minute late which isn't such a bad thing only I just realised I have no idea where the room is. Doesn't that tell you how badly I wanted to come back here? *scowls* First year was torture. I spent days just sitting outside and crying because I hated the place so much. Second year was bearable, and that's about it. Hopefully third year is a little better. High school was cool. University is just lonely and dull and really drives home what a freak you are. One can be a freak in high school, but in university, people are so fucking uniform and matured and all the fucking same it makes me feel stupid and ignorant because all I want to talk about is manga, anime, and movies, and my classmate wants to talk about where to get drunk and get laid. At least I still have my high school friends to hang around once every three months or so, but still, it would be nice to have one friend in university. I hate it here so much.

Really???

Jenni, you weren't kidding when you said that was a weirdo dream. I think it's kind of cool though =D I didn't like Romeo Must Die that much either and wish Jet Li would stay in Chinese movies. Well, as long as North America doesn't try to fuse "flying people marital arts" into their films, it will be fine.

Did Leslie Cheung apparently admit to being gay, Alison? Think HK might put him in that role with Tony Leung then *happy grin*?

I'm behind in email too, Malice so there's no rush in getting back to me, okay? Enjoy Rammstein :)

Sequels never add up

I'm not sure if I could trust their opinions on Chinese movies anymore. I agreed with them on their assessment of Swordsman II, Dragon Chronicles, A Chinese Ghost Story, and many other movies, but I didn't like A Chinese Ghost Story 2 at all. I'm definitely telling my sister who loved the first one to stay away from it. The plot seemed tacked on, the fighting scenes went on for too long, I didn't get the Michelle/Jacky connection and it had neither the charm nor wit of the first one. It left me feeling indifferent. I was so disappointed.

And before that I go ahead and see Dragon Chronicles. It's so incredibly bad and it gets worst the more you see it. Which of course means I saw it more than once. It's entertaining, I'll give it that, plus when else am I going to see Gong Li and Brigitte Lin in the same frame again? Not to mention it has introduce me to the Cheung Man. I think I'm in love. The actress is a darling! Her character almost saved the movie. Almost. Mostly, I was watching it with a remote control in my hand: Pretty face, play, pretty face gone, fast forward, pretty face, play, pretty face gone, fast forward. If you're one of those people who needs plot and characterisation - and sadly, I beginning to think I'm one of them - this is so not the movie for you.

I just hope when I borrow Swordsman tomorrow, I'm more impressed.

Thank God for Sex and the City. A well thought out plot, bright characters, and wonderfully witty plot made up for the disappointment of a certain sequel. *hugs HBO* I love you!

2 "No" conversations included

What I encountered going down Chinatown looking for certain Chinese movies:

Me: Do you have Dragon Inn?
Them: No
Me: Do you have Chungking Express?
Them: No
Me: Do you have Swordsman?
Them: No
Me: Do you have Swordsman II?
Them: No
Me: Do you have Swordsman III?
Them: No
Me: Do you have Ashes of Time?
Them: No
Me: *in exasperation* What do you have?
Them: Good bye Mr. Cool.
Me: That's a rather dubious title...

So Chinatown doesn't have movies that goes back to the 1980s and mid 1990s. That's all right, The Comic Book Shoppe, bless its dear heart, does hold some titles. I got a Video Membership there and walked out with a copy of A Chinese Ghost Story. Which leads us to the second "No" conversation:

Sister: Who's in the movie?
Me: Leslie Cheung and one of my favorite Chinese beauties.
Sister: Brigitte Lin?
Me: If it was Brigitte Lin, I would have said it was my favorite Chinese beauty, not one of them.
Sister: Maggie Cheung?
Me: No
Sister: Rosamund Kwan.
Me: No
Sister: Michelle Yeow.
Me: No
Sister: Gong Li doesn't do Cantonese films does she?
Me: Yes, she does and no, it's not her.
Sister: For goodness sake, how many Chinese actresses are you in love with? I have no idea.
Me: Joey Wong!
Sister: Who?
She remembered "who" when I described some of the movies she was in.
Sister: Oh her. She's really pretty.

Aren't they all? But really, she has a face that's hard to forget. And after A Chinese Ghost Story, it's even harder. And oh, do I ever love that movie! It was a nice way to spent the evening after finding out that I decided to cut down email one month too late - as of tomorrow evening, I will be part of the unemployed. I'm upset, but not devastated as I thought I would be. School's back on the 6th, so it'll be good for me to have some time to actually study for a change, which you know I won't, but I could try. And I slaved and pitched and saved during the last three years enough that tuition and books are paid off and I still have money left over to pay for rent and food for the rest of the school year. It just means I won't be giving out the kick-ass Christmas pressies to RL and airmail friends I wanted to give and I have to cut down all the movies I was planning on buying. But I don't care how poor I am, I need to get the completeSwordsman trilogy!!! For now, renting is good. And A Chinese Ghost Story definitely cheered me up. Leslie Cheung is the most adorable person on the planet. My sister, my mom, and I all fell in love with him. He's SOOOOOO Cute! Kind of like sixteen-year-old Subaru but willing to have sex :D I didn't know if I wanted to scrub behind his ear and pinch his cheeks or jump him like Joey did, lucky girl.

It's one of those movies that when you're on the bus or walking down the street, certain scenes show up in your mind and you just enjoy them because they're so sweet or touching. I lovelovelove! that underwater kiss. It was just so beautiful and erotic. There's so many things I love about it. In one evening, I watched it three time. Well, I wanted to get my money worth before I return it ^^ Plus Joey and Leslie together are just irresistible.

Was supposed to be posted on Tuesday

I know, Ali, I was sadden to hear about Aaliyah's death too. She was so young for one thing, and seemed really sweet and bright. She the best thing about Romeo Must Die. BTW, if all the DoHs pull through, we're going to do what we said we would, right? Go out celebrating with kareoke ^__^

Meta-chan, I wish you and your family all the best. Please take care.

After five gruelling hours, I finally fixed my schedule. What hell! I tried to get in American Literature, and no matter how I tried, I couldn't get it. Which means, once again, I won't get to study Steinbeck, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald. My Canadian literature said that American literature was mostly about winners while Canadian dwelled with the losers. Reading "Of Mice and Men" and "The Great Gatsby", I have to say the American are just as good at showing the losers as they do the winners.

Usually, I think Mandarin is the nicer sounding language, but like heterosexual stories vs. homosexual stories, when Cantonese is spoken well, Mandarin doesn't have a chance. Oh, for Brigitte Lin or Maggie Cheung to read me a bedtime story... hmm, that acrobatic striptease dual in Dragon Inn *dreamy grin* BTW, I checked some websites for Chunking Express and wow, Brigitte Lin in a wig really reminds me of Karen Kasumi for some reason. I MUST get that movie.

Sooner than I said

X fics to your Left:

Language of the Flowers - I simply adore the Kusanagi/Yuzuriha pairing so of course I enjoyed this. It was so well done. I especially liked how she wrote Kusanagi, of him in the army environment, and his relationship to Yuzuriha. And of course the letter scene was a hoot.

Marked - This was one of the first S/S fics I read when I came to cffml and it remains one of my favorites. Momoru the Hunter is one of the few original characters that worked and the story itself is fascinating. It was one of those stories I cared about what happened next. I really enjoyed it

Master and Slave - I simply adore this fic. It was just gorgeous, the writing, the character of Satsuki and BEAST, the sensuality of it all. There was a sort of hazy, dizzying effect to it that I appreciated. If only she would write another chapter/sequel!

Therapy - This is Hysterical! in a pound-the-table-shrieking-your-head-off kind of way. The dragons describing their problem was hilarious, the analysis cracked me up, and the therapist is a hoot. A really fun and clever fic. Just read it, dammit. Where's #4?

Only got permission for one this time, but it's a good one. The characterisation is amazing, even more so since Dilandau is a hard person to figure out. I forgot that Natalie Baan was actaully writing it when I read it. It's a really good piece of writing and highly recommanded.

I'm so behind

Expect lots of long blog entries tomorrow or the day after. There's a lot I want to get off my chest, mostly fic-recs and squeals about pretty Chinese actresses. Damn Dragon Inn for having a striptease dual between my two favorite actresses and SwordsmanIII for having an erotic lesbian scene!! Think I could convince Karen to forget about Aoki and swing my way?

HE LIVES!
(and why I like Megura)

I join Linh in expressing my pleasure at the recent Asuka update. ^____^ And I need to get this issue badly!

Wow, Alison, I didn't think you'd get so... possessive! Not after how cruelly turned me down the first time I propsed to you. Color me happy. *big smile* But I am feeling guilty about Satsuki-chan. I know you're just as crazy about her as I am so maybe we can work something out. Of course she is sharing an apartment with Ammie. Ammie, I hope you're feeling better soon.

To all those who I usually email, I'm cutting it down drastically. I fucked up royally at work (saying screwed up isn't strong enough to show the severity of the mistakes) and they're taking me off interlibrary loans, which sucks because I was originally hired to help out with interlibrary loans. It's getting really bad. My eyes are really starting to hurt and my head aches staring too long at the computer screen. I've been mixing things up and banging into stuff and getting confused when I turn off the computer. It's not uncommon I don't realise where I am and what I'm doing there. Emailing takes up the most time, so I'll be cutting that down. There will be one last round of emails this weekend and after that, it's chat, social blogging, and the Sakura Board.

About Megura, I know the Disney's version of Hercules sucked bad, but I still like Meg. She's my favorite Disney heroine which I guess you can say isn't saying much, but the fact that I'm writing a list about why I like her in my blog should tell you how strongly I admire her.

1. Didn't have those cute animals with her: Or in Belle's case, little dancing dishes. I think she was Disney's first truly friendless heroine. Other than Hercules, she had pet or pals she could rely on. And she was sent to betray Hercules, which brings us to point # 2

2. She's no goody-two-shoe. I love the fact that she had an evil alliance, that she lied to nd manipulated Hercules, even if she did turn from it at the end. She was one of the few Disney characters with any sense of duality and depth.

3. Add to the depth, that she was the only character with a past. Most of the heroine's story started when the movie did, hers started before when her boyfriend dumped her and she got mixed up with Hades.

4. She was cynical ^_^ You don't see that with a lot of the 2-D female characters do you? Even from Japan.

5. Awesome character design! i LOVE her mouth!

6. She made me care for her. The only character that Disney came up with that I really wanted happiness for. She was just cool.

Social Blogging

AUGH! My sister is such an idiot! Since she forgot her password to her account on the computer, she uses mine to go online, but she forgets to turn off the chat. *fumes* Alison, Satsuki-chan, Sarai, I hope you didn't wait long. I'm really sorry about that. Meta-chan, I will try to catch you another time. You're fun to chat with.

I've been phoning my home from work every day for the past week asking if anything came into the mail for me. My parents said no and I would curse. And then I remembered that mail, like clams, know when you're looking for them so you have to make it seem like you're not. So I didn't phone, thought I was itching and sure enough, reverse psychology works. *squashes* I love you Alison!

*squashes again* I love you too, Satsuki-chan. Your new domain rocks, especially the samovar. Good luck with your new job.

And good luck with yours too, Malice, my dear. The Phantom layout is cool, and you better believe Leslie Cheung has a good voice. He's one of the best singers to come out of Hong Kong. Even better than Jackie Cheung, though my best friend will disagree.

Thank god that wasn't a picture of Draco/Harry. Sirius/Remus I can live with, but Draco gets on my nerves. Had he been a girl, he could have passed for a bitch and I could have liked him, but as he stands, I don't see the appeal.

Courtesy of the Ottawa Citizen

I am typing this not from work or home, but from the public library nearby my workplace. As of now, I cannot get into the building because of the damn strike. It was cute last week. Of course week last I was just watching it from the big windows. This week they won't even let me near the front doors. Saying I'm irritated is putting it lightly.

On with the entry:

Newspaper Comment #1: I don't smoke, but I'm seriously thinking of taking up the habit just because I'm seriously ticked off with all the self righteous nonsmoker yelling blue murder about those oppose to the smoking ban. Hell, if a bar or a restaurant lets people smoke, then don't go in it. It's bad enough there's cigarette butts outside everywhere and bars and restaurants are losing business despite nonsmoker claiming that they will now "go out" because they can breathe fresh air. I don't smoke, I hate leaving the damn house, they ain't getting any business from me or my nonsmoking friends who are every bit as lazy as I am. (My smoking friends, however, are out a lot) At least I'm a good tipper, which is more than I can say for most nonsmokers.

Newspaper Comment #2: If there actually is a snitch hotline for people to call so the police could come and "handle" smokers smoking in nonsmoking areas, I will laugh long and hard and bitter. If only the city's health care system was that effective.

Newspaper Comment #3: I don't get all the people writing in saying that the army is no place for women and killing isn't a role for them. And it is for men? I think a man belongs home as a father to his children as much as a mother does. Men don't belong there to be slaughter or to slaughter any more than women do.

Newspaper Comment #4: One person wrote in, in defense of women not joining the army, "Call me crazy, rather see the face of a baby than the barrel of a gun." Call me crazy, but I think a lot of guys in the army rather see the face of a baby than the barrel of a gun. That might be why they're fighting the war.

Newspaper Comment #5: Stem cells. Oh, the hoary chestnut. I'll just say I'm against abortion, thank you Tokyo Babylon!, and leave it at that.

Newspaper Comment #6: They want to put a 14-year-old kid in jail for the rest of his life for killing his teacher. That's harsh. Sure it is a heinous crime and he deserves to be punished severely, and I can't blame the family for hating him bitterly and wanting him to rot there until he dies, but he's so young. His life has barely started and then it's jail.

Newspaper Comment #7: Someone called hitting a child with a switch, wooden spoon, etc. "beating." My parents "beat" their kids including me, and people keep saying to them, "you're so lucky your kids turned out so well." And sure enough, we did.

Newspaper Comment #8: 15-year-old girl writes into Dear Abby telling her that she's very conservative and usually doesn't agree with Abby's "liberalism." Abby is liberal?

Newspaper Comment #9: Between Dear Abby and Ann Landers, Ann Landers kicks ass. ^___^

Bought a Bridal Magazine

For eight bucks, I get months worth of entertainment. I'm cherishing this copy, even if it is for my brother's wedding which is taking place in a month's time. Guess who's in charge of it? That's right! The girl who goes to school full time and works part time and who spends far too much time reading other people's blog. So if I owe you an email, I will be owing it for quite a while ^___^

And I thought last week was awesome

Friday's episode of Sex and the City was the best one yet, and that's no mean feat coming from a show that usually exceeds expectations. I haven't been that moved by an episode since last summer's Homicide: Life on the Street aired some really gut-punchers. I knew they said they were going to get serious, but I didn't think it was going to get that serious. Or that well done. That I could laugh that hard and be totally touched by it shows how thoughtful and perceptive the show is. All the actresses did an extremely good job, especially Kim Cattrall who can give a total nutcase of a comic sex maniac some humanity. There were several scenes that jolted me, making me realising how important the support of friends can be in time of sorrow and crisis.

A Tangled Mess

Right now I wish life was a videotape that I could rewind to Monday so I can figure out how I screwed up that badly at work. It's the third time this summer that I sent stuff to the wrong place and it's driving everyone here mad. I could have sworn I took my time and carefully checked the destination with the content before sending it, but somehow I signed out the wrong books to the wrong places. I really want to know where the mistake occured and how so I could avoid it. For the life of me, I can't remember being careless, but I know for a fact that it was my fault. Blah! I'm so frustrated with myself.

On a brighter note, Voices Carry got a face lift and it looks cool. Took them long enough to get HPT 5 and 6 out, but it was well worth the wait. I eat babies indeed *chortle*

Who else when they see "VC" think of Vampire Chronicles and V.C.Andrews? V.C. Andrews was my childhood guilty pleasure. I still remember sneaking "Flowers in the Attic" around in my bedroom because my family though I was too young to be reading those kind of books. I think it was the whole idea that it was for grown-ups and forbidden that made the books so appealing then. Now it's simply the fact that if I ever feel like my life sucks, all I have to do is read a chapter of "Flowers" it puts things in perspective.

BTW I highly recommand "The Great Gatsby." (Thank-you Satsuki-chan!) It's one of those books you want to read with a highlighter. I am not kidding. It's really good.

Oh my, three entries in one day, Alison? The gods are certainly kind today. Though my very fragile heart did break when I read your first one before going to work. How could you propose to Meta-chan so shamelessly like that? I was crushed. But the second one read during my break made me feel better. There's nothing to forgive, unless of course, you actually marry the girl. You know where to bury me if you do.

As for the other vixen I adore who's lounging seductively on the couch: Don't Tempt Me. I just might take you up on it. I hope the job goes well, Satsuki-chan. Fruits fall off trees anyways like people shed hair so I figured they experience no pain when being eaten so let your conscience rest in peace. And you better tell the world the URL to your domain.

Living up North has one advantage over the Singaporeans after all. I'm glad you had fun at the con, Meta-chan ^___^

Speaking of Singapore, our church is getting an youth pastor from there. Alison, do you know a Robin Newnes by any chance? And it's good to know your wrist is better, dear.

Linh, my friend-who-loves-your-site-and-says-she-will-sign-your-guestbook-but-I-betcha-she-hasn't-yet wants to meet you when she comes back from Chicago. And have you read Harry Potter 3 yet?

Spoilers for the Young and the Restless (Of course I don't watch it because I want to; my mom needs me to translate) They better not kill of Phyllis!!! She and Jack are my favorite couple. Jack deserves a nice girl and they're killing her off. Those bastards (Don't ask me why but I keep thinking soap opera writers are male.) I so hope Paul dumps Christine's sorry ass and goes for Isabella. I never liked Christine. If one is going to be that annoying and thoughtless, they should at least be a bitch about it and make it entertaining. Ah, how I miss Britney.

One last note before I sign off, it's my favorite moon kitty's birthday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMMIE-CHAN! ^___^ Have a great one!

Giving the strike a break

Cute guy! CUTE GUY! I am so saving up for a playstation for Christmas!!!

Seeing how so many people are into dogslash, I might as well hop on the banwagon. I'll always be rooting for Snape and Sirius, but hey, why not let the dogs have their fun?

Oh my poor darling. Is your wrist getting any better? If the swelling is still there, go see your doctor. I hope you feel better soon *hugs*

And YOU are impossible to get into bed, as I'm sure you're very well aware of.

To Your Left

Actually Jenni, Dreaming is staying here for two weeks starting about now. What happens when I take too long to find appropriate fics and permission to post them. You get extra exposure =D Next time though, I'll have all the fics link and blurbs done before I start posting them.

Starting with the Other People's Fic that are X related:

Dreaming: Jenni's first (but hopefully not last) X fic, and it's an audacious debut. I found it to be one of the better Subaru fics out there I've read in a long time, more accurate and realistic than other fics that strive to be "deep." It's soft and surreal, and beautiful done.

Over the Rainbow: Some people are more suicidal than others. *grin* After I read it the first time, I scrolled the page up and read it again. And again. I was alternating between smirking and screaming with laughter the whole time. It's freaking hilarious!! Warning to all sensitive Seishirou fans that they probably won't like it though ^_~ **

Sound of Her Wigs: Still one of my all time favorite X fics. To this day, I can still recall how stunned I felt after finishing it. It was one of those fics I was thinking about for days, re-living lines and images from it. It still has that power to stun me. You have to read it.

Storm: It's about Karen! That alone is worth the price of admission. And it has Yuuto and banter and fighting and bits of romance in the rain *sobs* Yeah yeah, I'm a sap. See if I care. But the story really isn't sappy. It's damn romantic though. I just adored it!

By Remote: After discussing about X-Men slash with Jeannie, I go out and stumble on one at Viridian's site. Let me say right here that I've been a fan of Viridian - who is without a doubt my favorite slash writer - for years now. And when I saw she wrote a Gambit slash fic (Gambit's my favorite -- Those eyes!), I had to read it. And sure enough I wasn't disappointed. I loved everything about it, the writing, the charaterisation, the way the author worked in the comic, the Cajun accent ^_~

Malice's Fic: After I read this, I just went, "wow." It's simply a gorgeous piece of work, sensual as hell. The way the narrator describes the sensuality with her lover is amazing, and the ending is effective and well done, and just... it hits you to put it plainly. I love this.

Solitaire: It's not brutal in the traditional sense of the word, but it is brutal. The whole hostile, sterile atmosphere of it all is unnerving and what happens to B has a whole ick factor. And of course, being a masochoist, I totally dug this fic. It's REALLY well done, and I mean REALLY. It's definitely worth the read.

Subterfuge: *screams* Also known as the BEST Skinner/Mulder slash out there. Won tons of award and deserved every one of them. Especially for best sex scenes =D For everyone thinking gay men are sweet, weak, Celine Dion-loving wusses, you have to read this fic. It's brutal and violent and it really plays with your mind. But none of that takes away from the loving, protective relationship between Mulder and Skinner as you see what they would do for each other. No matter what. It's extremely long but it's well worth it when you're done.

I'm now going to the Comic Book Shoppe in search for any information on Final Fantasy. ^__^

** A little note on my reaction to Over the Rainbow: I LOVE LOVE LOVE Seishirou! Truly adore the guy. Wouldn't have written him with so much love in Mystic Eyes if I didn't. But that's not going to stop me from laughing when he gets his comeuppance. And a gorgeous comeuppance it was! XD

Belated

How could I resist a A Humpty-Dumpty Omelette? I'll even take the gingerbread-man with only one leg. He can't run that way. Oh, you Germans certainly are clever!

Mmm, Alison's new blog layout has me thinking more about caramel chocolate than kitties, though the kitties are adorable too. I even went to the page with all the kitties, and went "oh, ah, awh," for minutes. And I'm a dog person.

I miss the hot babes too but this guy is dream. And people at work have stopped banging into things when I look at your blog.

I hope your boss finally called, Meta-chan. If you're roommate half as terrific as your are, I'll envy you.

If you cried during the bananas, wait until you get to kidney transplant, or the seventh volume. Bring kleenexes. And at last, you now understand why people are all over Tokyo Babylon^^

Hearts be still. Linh does Angel Sanctuary scanslations. As if her blog and Venus Gospel didn't do their share of entertaining me for hours. Why do I suddenly feel deprived for not knowing FF as well as I could? I'm glad to have you back and if you got any cool merchandise from Boston, I want to see them!

Civil holiday is so the worse excuse for poor bus service. It's one of the few days full time working students get off work during the summer and dammit, we want the bus to take us around town on the last holiday we will have before school! But I did book off the 22nd ^_^

Curse Computer Illiteracy

My blog looks like hell now.

Anyways, to anyone who has time to waste, I put some of my fics up to your left. They suck, but the ones shown here are less potent on the suck-scale. They have their merits, but for God's sake, if you're looking for a good read, don't read mine! I don't fic because I want to win the Pulitzer. I just do because the mood strikes.

There's about seven more I want to put up but half of them aren't on the CLAMP fanfic archive (and all my crappy ones are). Blah! I want "Garbage Talk" and my Mary Sue fic up! Plus it takes me forever just to look for the half decents ones, link them up, and think of a short blurb to put beside them. I really should learn how to make an actual webpage.

I'm also putting other people's fanfic I enjoy up for a certain amount of time. Probably will be replacing them every two weeks or so. I still have to go around asking people for permission.

Anyways, a guest is staying over at our place for the weekend and I'm "babysitting" her. *groan* She's been trying to convert me into Christianity all freaking weekend! So if I'm a little grouchy, you know why. Well, I better go. She has more sermons she wants to preach and my mom wants me to listen to them now.
