Lame-o.

I have a headache. I haven't slept well in days and now my neck is all tense. I'm hungry, my bangs keep getting in my eyes and I'm behind in my work. All I want is a nap, and for the internet to work on my computer, but it doesn't look like either of those are going to happen any time soon. I have things to look forward to this week, but my ADD and anxiety attacks are making it hard to focus. Nerves and exhaustion are starting to take their toll. I want my friends to be okay. God, I want my friends to be okay. Yesterday was good, but worrying about tomorrow is making today more draining than it should be. I think I'll be fine if only I can get a decent sleep tonight. There doesn't even have to be a lot of it, I just want it to actually be restful.


[livejournal.com profile] wildelamassu is a brilliant fabulous person. She sent me Reload for my birthday. *cue much sqee* I've gone through the first three eps. so far and have the following reactions (for Rana as well):

Gojyo's new jacket = Woot. Also dig his new pants. MUCH more flattering. Heh.
Hakkai's shirt = Boo. I'm with Night on this one; there must be a tear or something he can't fix, 'cause otherwise there's no reason for it.
Sanzo's boots = Kickin'. (heh) They just seem so much more practical than the sandals ever were. Especially with the toe socks.
Goku's pants = Meh. Poor boy, Hakkai's fallin' down on the job if he's letting him run around with those ragged hems. Though, if he's just a growing boy it kinda makes sense 'cause it looks like he got Gojyo's old boots. Hand-me-downs in East. Heh.
Opening theme = Don't like it quite as much as the previous two. I'm sure it'll grow on me. Do dig the closing song though.
Kou = Wha'? Looks like someone make the poor kid take steroids and then dress up in a leather bathrobe. His arms look too big and it makes his head look weird and small. His neck also go thicker and it's like he's trying for some ill-conceived jock look when, really, we all know he's pretty and delicate and still kicks ass in spite of that. *sighs and pets old Kou* I want his black leather back.
Overall = It looks pretty good. Thank the good Lord they fixed Gojyo's hair, though, it looks kinda like he got a trim to go with it. I understand there's just more goodness to come, so I'll probably do this again once I've made through a few more episodes. Woot.


[Edit: Ate a fruit cup and feel a bit better, so now I'm going to shamelessly beg for people to write me porn to take the rest of my headache away. Preferably Saiyuki or Yami porn. If you don't my Gojyo muse is gonna make me do it and I'm a work. Come on, you know you want to.]

::hugs:: sorry you're feeling bad. If you're not running Mozilla Firefox and some sort of free popup blocker (I recommend StopZilla!), get those asap. Firefox kicks IE's ass, and helps with the whole internet-sucks idea. Unless it's truly a connection-only problem, in which I find a gun tends to help with frustration but not much more. ^.^;;

As for Reload, I'm glad it's pretty!! WL does, indeed, rock the world.

::backrub::

Wish I could help more, or could lessen some of your tension. I'm certain things will work out okay though...optimist, yes. But a powerful optimist. ^.~ Feel better, Rune!

Yeah, it's a connection problem. We've been trying to fix it for a month now, but nothing. Meh. I'm sure everything will be fine in the end it's just frustrating right now.

*smiles* Thanks for the good wishes. Had a snack and that helped a bit I think. I'll also probably feel better if I'm actually productive at work today, so off I go. Heh.

No porn here, just some Reload-related ramblage. Am I the only one who thinks Hakkai's shirt makes him look pregnant? Also, thank God for fixing the colour on Sanzo's robes, aswell. I can't stress how much that and Goyjo's blatently pink hair irritated me in the original series.

[identity profile] runefallstar.livejournal.com 2005-02-22 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
What got to me most about Gojyo's hair was that they always talked about it being the colour of blood, and from what I saw no one on the show ever bled that colour, so I was wondering who's blood exactly they were talking about. In the end the only reasonable group of pink-bleeders were Mary Sues or Klingons (who actually bleed what looks like purple-pink yogurt), which makes it no wonder that everyone thinks half-breeds unlucky and fearsome. How would you react to finding out that the person sitting next to you were, in fact, half Mary Sue? Exactly.

*shudders*

No wonder those townspeople in the episode with the beelady were so adamant about running her out of town. Get thee gone, Mary Sue, and ne'er darken our door with your oddly-coloured eyes and sparkly wings again.

Even Reload is an argument towards the half-breeds being part Mary Sue -- his hair changes colour!

...and if you read the right fic they change colour when he's angry or happy or sad or...

I'm SORRY!

I'm SORRY![hugs you so tight]
I'm so sorry you're stressed, possibly about stupid little me. (though I don't mean to presume) I miss you so much, Don't worry! It'll be ok. Just enjoy a little sunshine for me if you can.
and remember:

a) You're way hot.
b) You're a dick.

Re: I'm SORRY!

*hugs back* Hey no worries. I just want everyone to be okay. Bear has been stressing me out too, so it's not like any of this is your fault. Unfortunately it's raining today, but I have more anime on my computer so the day isn't a total loss.


p.s. I hate your face.

[identity profile] pvt-tiger.livejournal.com 2005-02-22 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, I still haven't gotten you a birthday present, have I? Well, I'm sure you know what a space cadet I am.

So tell me what you want and it's yours. Still pining for the pig hat? A GBC shirt? ....

Really? Sweet!

[identity profile] runefallstar.livejournal.com 2005-02-22 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I want that pig hat, but I'll never wear it. Not really. See, if there were a Saizo plushy, he'd be mine. MINE! But, as it is, there's no way I could turn down a GBC shirt.

Ride or die, man. Ride or Die.

Your wish is my command. Don't take this as a precedent, though ;-)

OMGILOVEITSOMUCHIT'SEATINGMYBRAIN!

Hee! And you know what else this means right? This means that I can make screencaps and make icons *cackles*. 'Cause Lord knows I need more icons *facepalm*. Heh.

[identity profile] ranalore.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Dude. Your icon. So. Much. Love.

[identity profile] thirteen-quills.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
dude, you got the icon to work!!

dude...i'm saying "dude"....aaaah!!!!

oh, and: LOVE THE MOUSE. ME WANT A MOUSE ICON. ::heads off to make herself a mouse icon 'cuz GOD knows WL don't have a thread of time to make one for her::

oh and because i'm lazy, Rune, you get your comment in here too: Porn? Like, Yami no Matsuei porn? If you're willing to settle with short and spicy, I'll take a shot...Tatari or Tsusoka?

[identity profile] runefallstar.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't turned down porn yet. *grins* And I'll take anyone you wanna write. Woot for p0rn!

[identity profile] ranalore.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, hon, I'm sorry you haven't been sleeping well. *hugs* I haven't been either, because I *koff* keephavingintensebattledreamswhereI'mtheofficialscribeforthejourneywest *koff*

Hey, when I was into QaF, I kept having dreams where I hung out at gay dance clubs so, you know. Fangirl.

Also, have I told you yet how much I love that you're someone I can carry on an entire tonal conversation with using just the word, "Dude?" Dude. Love.

I love the Reload opening theme and opening sequence. The sequence changes mid-season, and the new one is also cool, so watch for that. If I remember right, I think the ending theme also changes. And don't forget to watch the "behind the scenes" stuff after the closing credits.

Poor Kou. I agree about Hakkai's shirt, but he, Gojyo, and Sanzo are all hotties (and Goku is a baby hottie), so I can live with it. Kou deserves his hotness back. I really don't mind the sleeveless maharajah look going on with the outfit, but did they have to mess with that pretty, pretty physique while they were at it?

Yeah. Kou's one of My Boys, too. *G*

Pr0n will happen. Gotta finish the Remix and then I think it's up next. Mmm, Sanzo-smut.

Did you want to get together again this coming weekend? I can have the rest of Yami burned for you by then.

This comment brought to you by the color chartreuse, the letter ll (hey, it's a single letter in both Spanish and Welsh), and the number 3 (guess why. Go on, guess ;-).

[identity profile] runefallstar.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. Porn. I <3 porn.


I still want my old Kou back. I watched some more Reload and I pine for the old pretty Kougaji.

And yes! I think we should watch something new and random. *ponders* Any other anime you haven't tried yet but want to? Ohhh...I could get some Peacemaker for us to watch. Hee! But, yeah, whatever we decide on, getting together would be much fun.

[identity profile] ranalore.livejournal.com 2005-02-24 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Dude, I'm bringing Requiem if you haven't seen it. They're all pretty in that one, including Kou, and it's just. Dude. You have to see it.

I've heard Peacemaker is actually a sequel and one can get very lost. I'm thinking maybe we should give Weiss Kreuz a try if we can find it, since it's one that's caught at both of us in the past. Or we could do a change of pace and switch to live action. I still have to show you Equilibrium. *G*

[identity profile] snowyheart.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Dude. This is where I have to disagree. Hakkai's new shirt? Super, super sexy. It is The Sex. I don't know what those crazy animators could have done to ruin that. *mercilessly pimps out the manga* (http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/thelair/outfitz.jpg)

also: y'alright? *hugs*

[identity profile] runefallstar.livejournal.com 2005-02-23 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I loved that part! Hee!

It's just that I want Hakkai to tuck his shirt in. Heh. Now I sound like my mom *G*.


And, yeah I'm cool. If you wanted to get on IM I wouldn't be opposed to a chat, but really, I'm cool. *sheepish smile*
