After I finished my final today, splintercat and I got together to finish watching Oofuri. God, that show is so adorable. Adorably gay. But mostly adorable.

Also, last night was Midnight Breakfast, a traditional thing at Barnard that happens the night before finals officially start. There's always a theme, and this semester is was Disney!~~<3

So basically 50% of Barnard was moving through the gymnasium as the speakers blasted a motley collection of Disney tunes. I spent the night stealing stuff from the centerpieces, so now I have stickers, stand up paper dolls of Cinderella, Aurora, and Jasmine, and a very pink--as well as rather large--castle. Good night.

Because of that, and because splintercat told me I should, I'm posting one of my favorite MV tributes ever.

1) New default icon! Everybody should read Kimi ni Todoke (Reaching You). It's only on the third chapter or so, but it is lovely and hilarious. Sort of a mix of PGE/Wallflower's premise and Fruits Basket's good-heartedness.

2) It has come to pass that basically everyone I talk to about NYCC ends up deciding to go. Something about the call of the awesome. I am merely a messenger!

3) My birthday was sort of weird this year, mostly because I've been kind of down and nothing really spectacular happened to get me out of it. I will say that marathoning a bit of Oofuri with splintercat was awesome, because that is just how Oofuri and marathons are. My Domo wall calendar has Domo playing baseball for April, and I find this fitting and appropriate.

4) I played Katamari Damacy! I suck less than Akira Touya, but more than just about everyone in the real world! (This is kind of how video games and me are. I have trouble spatially coordinating myself in my own body with my own eyes. Asking me to spatially coordinate myself with little joysticks is perhaps too much to ask.) Someday I will get someone to play Kingdom Hearts I and II and the Phoenix Wright games for me, but I fear I have a long time to wait still.

5) Insert gratuitous and rather cryptic mention of Cthulhu here that really boils down to "Okay, I am totally obsessed with CUSFS."

6) My academic life still sucks. Every single class I'm taking this semester is leaving me dissatisfied for one reason or another, and yet I am still busting my butt to make B+ averages. This is new and rather unpleasant for me. :/

7) I am sort of in a yaoi/sho-ai phase right now and I think those who share this interest should run and not walk to Yamada Yugi's Darenimo Aisarenai and other works because they seriously make me incoherent with love. There's another one I know I meant to rec, but a lot of time has passed between that thought and this entry.

8) Damn you Diana! Just so everyone knows, The Big Bang Theory is awesome.

ETA: Why I shouldn't make journal entries on little sleep in the wee hours of the morning: vague descriptors ahoy! ('Kind of's and 'sort of's in this entry: 5, as well as 'basically,' 'rather,' 'something,' 'or so,' and 'for one reason or another.')

More numbers.

1. MAXIMO PARK. Dude, this is why Christmas rocks. I ended up getting $75 worth of iTunes gift cards, and I've been trying to use it to buy albums from bands that I like for two or three of their songs. Other bands I'm considering: The Organ, Veda/Vedera, The Pipettes, Nada Surf, Cobra Starship, The World/Inferno Friendship Society. Thoughts? Other bands to try?

2. OOFURI. TOSEI GAME = HOLY SHIT WITH THE SUSPENSE AND THE GETTING MY BLOOD UP AND THE BRINGING OF THE AWESOME. GOD. I went into this manga/anime for the characterization and the battery dynamic, but I have a feeling I'll be really getting into the games, too.

3. RADIO SHOW. As in, I'M DOING ONE. With loweryourwand! Tune in from wbar.org every Friday/Saturday night from 2-4 AM to hear us spout nonsense and play weird music!

4. My 21st birthday. Will fall on Easter Sunday. There's a conflict of interest if ever I saw one.

5. THIS MUSIC VIDEO. It's weird, but catchy and kind of addictive.

6. I want bustedtees. Specifically, this and this.

7. Lesson. Never take two extra-strength pain-killers first thing in the morning and then not eat anything. That poor girl in the hallway who saw me standing over a trashcan probably thought I had a hangover, which is so karmically unbalanced I have to laugh. Please go die, uterus.
