I should be sleeping
I need to wake up early tomorrow (today) so I really shouldn't be RPing or posting here. Pfft, like that's every stopped me before!
Anyway, I saw Nine today. It was excellent! Such a star-studded cast~ The acting was stellar, the music was incredible and the art direction was just top notch! Definitely Oscar material. I saw Avatar a few days ago too, and while it was very pretty, I couldn't see past the bad guy's cardboard cut-out-ness and that made the experience painful for me. Why were the bad guys so hell-bent on being bastards? Why? They weren't being "Used as a Device," no. When you take it to the extreme like they did in Avatar, you go past For Teh Evulz and just become a Villian Sue. Yes, I looked it up on TVTropes cuz it bothered me way too much. (P.S. General Whatshisname is the Boring Invincible Villain and Tychoon Whoeverhewas is the Villain Sue.)
Also, I have a super-mega-ton of icons to post, since
reichu's tutorial inspired me to play with Selective Colors. The best part about it is, once you have the layers, all you have to do is swap out the bases and voila~! ---But that will have to wait because tomorrow is going to be a busy day. We (my family, Diana and maybe Natalia) are going to see some new suspension bridge they built in Naranjito, and after that it's Ana's yearly Pre-New Year's birthday party.
Speaking of New Year's, I may actually get to celebrate my birthday on its date with my friends! They're hell-bent on seeing Sherlock Holmes that day (it comes out here on that day, don't ask me why it's late)
I'll do a better intro post later, but welcome to
rinnakins and
checkeredpaint~! My entries tend to look mostly like this, only with more fangirling. If you're bored, ask me anything c: (That goes for all you guys, too)
EDIT; Welcome to
imaginethekiss, too~!
