Have promised two fics for two special ladies...hopefully I'll get at least a good start on those this weekend. I'm trying to think of what to do for my CW short story...I also promised I would write a scary story for a friend, so I'm thinking of just doing one and using it for both \o/ That way I'll have plenty of time to fic, mwahahaha, though I do have two more papers due for Friday; planning to write one this weekend and the other during the week, ugh.

Um. I don't have a lot of important things to say, except everyone is getting My Chem tickets except MEEEEE T_____T My heart *aches* to go, seriously, but I honestly have no way to get there--the bus is ridiculously expensive, and there isn't one going home after the concert, and I'm not spending the night wandering around Chicago. SO MUCH WOE, AGH.

Finally figured out how to take stills with my webcam so \o/ for that. I've been spending a lot of time reading various secret comms and...damn, they make me so sad. Especially the bandom ones--everyone I've met in this fandom has been so sweet, and then I look at the secret posts and they're just filled with venom. Sigh. I guess I don't get it, because I've never been afraid to tell people what I think about something in a fandom...and it's not like I'm going to hate on people who think differently. Sure, I want to flail about everything we like, so why don't we just set aside things we don't agree on? (I mean, unless you're going to troll my journal and, like, assault me with "GERARD IS A FAT FAIL TOAD," I could care less.) So...that's my Deep Thought for bandom. WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG??? *weeps*

Also, this is how I spend my time in class, if anyone's wondering:

(Bonus hair & roomie's posters!)(And all that shading was a bitch)

Dear LJ:

Your moodthemes = bleh.

And the horrendously complex hoops I have to jump through in order to upload my own moodtheme? Yeah. Thanks for that.

No love,
Me

I remembered Episode III as being cool. I watched it again last night. When you take away the oohlightsaberfightsquee! you get at the theater it kind of...sucks.

Seriously. The dialogue is crap, and the romance dialogue is BEYOND crap. The storyline makes no sense. It's all so random. None of the story threads seem to tie in, and it's just like 'oh we're doing this, now we're doing this, now we're doing some random other thing.' There's no connection, even within the movie. And the acting isn't great: all of these actors have been awesome in other movies, which means that at least some of the fault goes on the director. In my mind, ol' Georgie has too much power. He really could have used a better/co-director or at least an editor who could be like 'um, hey George? This line you have...no one remotely human would ever say that.'

It's disappointing. I was really looking forward to watching it...and it was a huge let-down. Except the part where Ani goes into the Jedi Temple and kills all the little kids. That part is still righteous.
