::0416:: Completely Random Question [ 2.12.09 - 3.14pm ] [ mood | curious ] [ music | Masami Okui: Rinbu Revolution ] I know not that many of you are into the anime scene, but some of you are and so I have to ask. Have any of you read Revolutionary Girl Utena? If you have, would you recommend it? I'm looking for a new manga to read and I thought since I'm so familiar with the boy!sex series, I would go a different direction and read a girl!sex story. Thoughts? Opinions? Should I just stick to my boys? And if I should, I need a new one. Gravitation EX is a little too... out there (even for Gravitation; I mean really? Yuki and Shuichi adopt old!Yuki's orphaned child, Yuki has an accident and is temporarily blind, Shuichi is in a cave when it collapses and is in a coma, resulting in speculation that Yuki will be the new singer for Bad luck. COME ON!) for me and I need something to pass the time whilst waiting for the new Loveless every month. Hell, throw any suggestions out there at this point. What manga should I read?

::0415:: Catching Up With Loveless, And Also Wedding Invitations [ 2.11.09 - 8.09pm ] [ mood | dorky ] [ music | Cardcaptor Sakura episode 38 ] How much do I love Soubi and Ritsuka? I don't have time to count the ways but the last panel is definitely one of them. Wahhhhh. Also, I've been meaning to post about this, but my wedding invitations are about to officially go out. If you want one and/or want to attend please comment here with your full name (don't want to misspell anything) and address. The wedding is March 22nd in Fort Worth. I'd like it if all of you could come!!! Comments will, of course, be screened for your privacy. Now, back to squeeing about Loveless. Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Read 3 // Post Comment

::0414:: Things That Make My Day Better [ 1.20.09 - 1.46pm ] [ mood | good ] [ music | MSNBC ] MSNBC playing Low Rider while discussing the "Beast" aka the new presidential limo makes me happy. Also, the words "President Obama" make me exceedingly happy and proud of my country. Ahhh, what a wonderful day this is. Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Read 5 // Post Comment

::0413:: De-Lurking Long Enough to Say [ 1.16.09 - 5.17pm ] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | nada ] You guys have probably already heard all about this and most likely mentioned it somewhere (blame my stupid work for blocking LJ for my absence and inevitable non-flist-reading), but I couldn't resist: On MSNBC's Liberal Commentator Keith Olbermann: Ziegler said when Palin saw a photo of Keith Olbermann, Palin "literally let out a shriek and, pointing to his photograph, declared, 'THAT guy is EVIL!'" He does look delicious though, doesn't he? I should really catch up with Countdown.... Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Post Comment

::0412:: Epic Chagrin [ 1.6.09 - 11.05am ] [ mood | annoyed ] [ music | C-SPAN ] Is it just me or does the C-SPAN live stream thing suck ass? I mean, seriously. I just want to watch the new Senators get sworn in. :-/ I know I've been awfully quiet, and I'll talk about it all after I'm done glaring down C-SPAN.com.

::0411:: Back From the Pictures [ 12.25.08 - 4.16pm ] [ mood | okay ] [ music | Bond: 1812 Overture ] So, Valkyrie can thusly be known as the Movie With Every Male British Actor There Ever Was. I might be exaggerating a little, bit there were a lot of freaking recognizable people in it. Including, I'd like to specially point out, Eddie fucking Izzard. Nom. This may be negligence on my side, but I had no idea he was in the film until he showed up on screen getting shaken down by Tom Cruise. I was like "WHAT THE FUCK EDDIE." Though, of course, with so many other familiar faces, I can see how he'd be kind of drowned out. Ah well. I leave you with this: Om nom. Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann PS: Movie was alright.

::0410:: Oh Holidays [ 12.25.08 - 9.16am ] [ mood | annoyed ] [ music | nada ] So, first Christmas on my own that isn't spent with side of his or my family? Not getting off to a great start. Spencer's dad forwarded him an email sent to the rest of that side of the family, saying some pretty mean things about Spencer ("his umbilical cord won't reach this far north"). We just spent a lovely day with them this past weekend, when Spencer talked about the decisions he was making rationally with his family and they all seemed to understand what he was saying. And now they're talking about his weight loss as something of a joke. I'm very unhappy (which is nothing to what I'm sure Spencer is feeling). I don't think I've ever gotten on well with his dad (after Spencer informed me as we were planning the move to Austin that his dad thought that I was only moving in with him to take advantage of the Texas common law marriage, and rob him of all his things six months after we moved in together). Anyway, lets not let that ruin our day. We're thinking we're going to go see Valkyrie at the Alamo at some point. The rest of the day will probably be spent lazing around in our underwear or less (preferably less), playing WoW, watching TV, and alternatively rejoicing or whining that we are not with our families for the holiday. For the rest of you, Merry Fucking Christmas! Unless you're Jewish. Then I suppose it would be Happy Fucking Hanukkah. Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Read 3 // Post Comment

::0409:: I Know This is A Little Late [ 12.23.08 - 2.23pm ] [ mood | okay ] [ music | Bond: Libertango ] But if any of you are feeling generous, I wouldn't mind owning any of these CDs. I can't believe I've never looked them up before. I mean, they're perfect for me. String quartet, mixed with techno? Awesome. Their version of the 1812 overture is so amazing, you do not even realize. Anyway, I'm just saying. Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Read 1 // Post Comment

::0408:: Just Throwing This Out There [ 12.23.08 - 10.24am ] [ mood | nerdy ] [ music | nada ] Prediction: The Dragonball: Evolution movie is going to suck the big one. And I am going to love it. I'm so excited for this stupid movie, you do not even realize. Seriously, I got ridiculously excited when I read that Bulma is actually going to have blue hair (well, for some of the time at least, apparently there is a wig involved). I actually hope that it will do, wtf, amazing because I want them to do a Saiya-Jin saga movie. Logan and I discussed it, and it will probably do really well the opening weekend, what with all the fans of the show coming to see it - regardless of how good they think it will be - and then it will kind of taper off as people realize it sucks. Also, I am v. annoyed with people saying that "whoever supports this movie isn't an actual fan of Dragon Ball." I'm not sure what category I am in. I'm sure that this movie will not be good, in terms of being a liveaction Dragon Ball movie. But I am equally sure that I will see it at midnight, pre-order the DVD, watch it in conjunction with DBZ marathons, and love it long time. In any case, Logan and I kind of want to trek up to Keller for the release. Anyone up there want to hit the midnight show with the fist of an angry god? That is all.

::0408:: Why I Read Books [ 12.22.08 - 7.17pm ] [ mood | annoyed ] [ music | nada ] So, I just put down Edge of Reason, having stopped at page 131 because I cannot deal with the lack of Mark Darcy. Also, I don't remember Bridget's urban family being nearly this annoying in the first book. Instead, I'm going to watch the first movie and whimper at Mark Darcy being ohsosmitten with Bridget and then attempt to finish the book (I'm not very optimistic), despite Mark's and Bridget's completely pointless breakup (seriously wanting to slap Shazzer and Jude right now). And when I have money and gas, I'll go down to Half Price, and finally fucking buy Pride and Prejudice. And that, my friends, is that. Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Oh god, auto-complete is working again. How I have fucking missed you, auto-complete. Post Comment

::0407:: Spam Fabulous Day [ 12.22.08 - 4.24pm ] [ mood | amused ] [ music | Prince of Egypt: the Plagues ] Yall, I just heard a lady a couple cubes down say to whoever she was talking to on the phone: "Yes, but was there a flag?" And I had to stifle laughter. Why does that amuse me so much. God, let this day be over soon. Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Read 2 // Post Comment

::0406:: So, Check This Out [ 12.22.08 - 2.50pm ] [ mood | anxious ] [ music | Nightwish: Ocean Soul ] Want to hear some irony? The only thing that has successfully convinced me to actually pick up Twilight and read all of it in its entirety is the need for inspiration for a highly dysfunctional relationship. Borrowing Raini's copies tonight. Though, I may just have to suck it up and get my own because I get the feeling I'm going to want to annotate. But I don't have the money (or the desire, really) to add it to my collection. Sigh, dilemma. Anyone want to donate their copies to me? Note to self: Must finish reading Edge of Reason before tonight. *serious business face* Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Post Comment

::0405:: You Don't Know How Stressed Out You Are Until a Weight Is Lifted [ 12.22.08 - 10.45am ] [ mood | hungry ] [ music | Head Automatica: Beating Heart Baby ] So, an update on the wedding front. I finally, finally picked up my dress on Friday before Spencer got home. It is now hanging suspiciously in the unused closet in the study. I also went ahead and threw down my own money for the SUPER FUCK YOU BRA which turned out to be a mistake, seeing as how it cost me - and this is true - 85 fucking dollars. What is this. What. Is. This. My tiara cost that much! This is a bra! I would digress, but because I threw down the money I was unable to do all my Christmas shopping. Spencer and Logan will just have to wait until after the first to get theirs. Also, I'm getting it altered. The strap around the neck is just a little too loose and I'm getting a bustle put in so that my train doesn't annoy me drag on the ground all afternoon. That will be another eighty bucks on top of Spencer's and Logan's gifts and renewing my car registration. I also need an oil change. Oh, life. In any case, once that is paid for, all I have to think about is jewelry and my ensemble will be complete. Thank fucking god. Anyway, we went to Keller this weekend for an early Christmas/looking at venues. We popped over to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens to have a look around. After talking it over with the wedding director there, as well as each other, we found a garden we both liked, had plenty of space, and would have flowers in bloom in March. We then poked our heads in the reception halls, once again talked over the strange limitations that the Gardens had on using their reception halls, and finally deemed the Gardens worthy of our wedding. Ew. I didn't mean to make it sound like that. :-/ In any case, I am thrilled to report that we got the bride's room for two hours, the garden where the ceremony will be held for two hours, and the reception hall for four for a grand total of $700. Oh. My. God. I spent almost that much on my dress/accessories! I'm so ridiculously excited, yall do not even realize. So, now that we have that major fucking weight off our shoulders, the next wedding thing to think about is a pastor to perform the ceremony and the menu for the reception. And rings, once we can afford it that is. And the invitations. Which means the guest list. And I have to register. And get my bridesmaids gifts. Oh and my bouquet. And the cake. Can we afford a cash bar? Would my family be okay with that? And decorations for the reception hall. @_______________________________________@ Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Read 2 // Post Comment

::0404:: This Is Me At Work, Yall [ 12.19.08 - 2.41pm ] [ mood | bored ] [ music | Quiet Riot: Cum On, Feel the Noise ] So, random fact about me. As many of you may notice, I abuse youtube here at work. I use it catch up on my TV, listen to music, or just find random things that are amusing. Sometimes, when I hear a quote that I like from whatever I happen to be watching, I write it down on a sticky notepad so that I might remember to make a text icon of it later. At the present time, I have over nine sticky notes full of these random quotes. So I thought we'd play a game with it. I list the quote and if you can name where it comes from then I'll... I don't know? Write you whatever fic you would like. Pay for a month's worth of paid account time. Make a phone post praising the bejesus out of you. Whatever you want. You guys game? Then let's start this show with this quote: "Nine out of ten Americans believe that out of ten people one will always disagree with the other nine." And go!

::0403:: Living the High Life [ 12.18.08 - 12.35pm ] [ mood | hungry ] [ music | Dixie Chicks: Cowboy Take Me Away ] Christmas time at the mortgage company means lots of goodies and free things because the attorneys are feeling generous. Case in point? Tonight is my department's Christmas dinner at >Truluck's Seafood, Steak and Crab House, paid for entirely by a certain law firm that we work with. Then, our supervisor just emailed us saying that because parking downtown is a pain in the ass, the attorneys offered to pay for all of our valet parking as well. Yall, I get to use valet parking, what is this. Also, one of the other firms brought in cheesecakes for us yesterday. Including double chocolate cheesecake, which - you can be sure - I debacled without hesitation. Nom. The only time I feel like I'm living the high life while working for a mortgage company.

::0402:: Youtube, You Have Failed Me [ 12.17.08 - 3.22pm ] [ mood | disappointed ] [ music | The Darkness: I Believe in a Thing Called Love ] How is it that youtube does not have the fight scene between Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver from the first Bridge Jones movie? It has the second, and it technically does have the first but it's in Italian or something. In any case, I think I'm going to have a Colin Firth-athon when I get home. Bridget Jones and Pride and Prejudice. I think the word I'm looking for here is: omnomnom. (Also, this is the first attempted post-via-email. Let me know if I totally fuck it up.)

::0401:: UPDATE [ 12.16.08 - 5.42pm ] [ mood | cold ] [ music | nada ] Sorry to leave that rant at the top of my page, buttttttt..... My work finally blocked livejournal. Its listed as a "social networking and personal" site. Which means I can no longer access it from my desk. It makes me very frowny, yes indeed. Anyway, I thought I'd try loudtwitter, but it requires that I am logged into livejournal on the computer I'm twittering from. But, since I can't access LJ at all whatsoever I can't even login, which means I can't twitter. So, I'm going to try doing updates via email and/or txts. I won't be able to read communities/friends pages until I get home though. All that to say, that if I'm not commenting or up to date with you all. I'M SORRY. Now, can anyone actually tell me how to set up updates via email? Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Read 3 // Post Comment

::0400:: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT [ 12.11.08 - 10.26pm ] [ mood | infuriated ] [ music | nada ] THAT'S HOW IT ENDS? SERIOUSLY? HE JUST SAYS "FUCK YOU GUYS, I'M GOING TO GO TRAIN UP THIS KID BECAUSE I'M BORED!" THAT'S SERIOUSLY HOW THIS ENDS? SERIOUSLY? PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS ALL ONE COLOSSAL JOKE. IT ISN'T? FUCKING SERIOUSLY? WHAT IS THIS, AKIRA TORIYAMA. WHAT. FUCKING. IS. THIS. I AM SO INCREDIBLY UPSET, YOU GUYS DO NOT EVEN REALIZE. THE LAST FOUR EPISODES WERE SO INCREDIBLY POINTLESS. THE FINALE WAS AWFUL AND COMPLETELY GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING I'VE EVER SAID ABOUT THE SHOW. I MEAN, FUCKING SERIOUSLY? I AM VERY VERY CHAGRINED RIGHT NOW, YALL DON'T EVEN KNOW. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT IS HOW IT FUCKING ENDS. 276 EPISODES, SIXTEEN SAGAS, TEN MAJOR BADDIES, OVER FIFTEEN MAIN CHARACTER DEATHS, FOUR VILLAINS TURNED GOOD, COUNTLESS WISHES MADE ON THE DRAGON BALLS, AND A STUPID AMOUNT OF TIME SPENT WATCHING AND RE-WATCHING ALL OF IT AND THAT'S HOW IT FUCKING ENDS??????????????????????????????

::0399:: I Don't Want to Work, I Just Want To Watch DBZ All Day [ 12.11.08 - 10.08am ] [ mood | amused ] [ music | Dragon Ball Z ] My team lead just stopped by my desk to tell me that while she's preparing a project for us to work on that I'm allowed to "do whatever I want" as long as I "don't get caught." Man, sometimes I love this job. Anyway, I'm finally to the episode where Veggie comes back (and he and Goku immeadiately fuse. I'd be upset but Vegeto is ridiculously hot *points to icon*). Speaking of which, is it spelled Vegeto or Vegito? I've seen both. I would think that since its spelled Vegeta and neither name has an I in it.... According to the dub, its Vegito. Weird... And I've been thinking. I've been taking notes on the Buu saga so far, and I'm wondering if should go back and do running commentaries of the entire show (all 276 episodes). Would anybody even bother to read them? I would really like a stupidly pointless internet project to do. Thoughts? Anyway, back to Vegeto (drool).

::0398:: ;_________; [ 12.9.08 - 11.26pm ] [ mood | sad ] [ music | nada ] This is one of the best episodes of Dragonball Z I have ever seen. Who would have thought that Vegeta's death would be the saddest in the entire season. Of course I knew it happened, I even knew the circumstances. But watching it in context was like 32083405834359349573495734 times sadder than hearing about it. Wow. Really fucking heartwrenching. I know he comes back, but I've looked up and episode guide and he doesn't reappear for THIRTY. FUCKING. EPISODES. WHAT IS THIS. Meaning I have to put up with Goten/Trunk/Gotenks hijinks for thirty episodes. Fabulous. Goten + Trunks really fucking annoy me. Maybe its because Gohan and future Trunks were so much more humble and likable than these two brats. UGH. I'm going to stop talk about this in approximately eighty episodes. <Duo> But right now! ...I need some sleep. </Duo> Love and Other Indoor Sports Kerry Ann Post Comment
