My Dreams Were So Bizarre, I'm Not Even Going to Try

Yesterday was a very, very good day.

And not only was it good, it was productive. I got some good RPing in - I'm having a ball with my current threads - I got some writing in, I got a lot of cleaning in, and I even found time for some video game playing. It's nice to be back to my staples, writing and RP. And Citan and Batman. Citan and the Goddamned Batman. I am intensely amused by this. Also? Crack Day at CU. I'm still trying to figure out how to handle this, but reading everything else has been hilarious.

Anyway, yesterday also brought with it hitting up a few thrift stores and getting some very nice clothes, very cheap, and some beautiful rather mod-ish bottles for bathroom decor. There is a project to prettify Silent Hill in the works, and for some reason the bathroom has become the starting point. I had joked about that with chocomimi, that I wanted to redo the bathroom just to match my LUSH stuff.

Well, it's not being done for the sake of LUSH, but I have noticed a difference in how calming and soothing my baths are now. The bathroom is a somewhat sacred place, I feel. It's a little shrine where we can close ourselves away from the outside world and recover and recoup and revitalize ourselves. The decor and atmosphere should serve to help, not hinder this.

Anyway, after thrift store shopping, and much hilarity as I was with enigmablade and summoneddestiny - nijawial stayed home, as she is now Infected - we crashed here for a long while, watching Liar Game and feasting on beef curry with potato and rice. summoneddestiny gave me a hand in the kitchen, and it was wonderful - despite the fact that we almost blew up the crock pot.

Liar Game proved to be surprisingly gripping. The plot's damn good, the casting is very attractive, the subtitles are nice and big so I can read them easily, the soundtrack's great, and Akiyama is a beautiful, beautiful brilliant bitch of a man. And despite Nao being so naive it's painful, Toda Erika is gorgeous. She's pretty enough to tempt me to watch the damn Death Note movies, honestly....

(Not that I want to connect Liar Game with Death Note any further after what I overheard while in the bath last night... ;D)

I really ought to get off my ass and get back to finishing up some cleaning. And answer emails. I swear I'll get to those today! Oh, and, uh...one small request? My phone is still missing, and while I appreciate that a lot of people called it to help me locate it...it went off a few times between the hours of 2 and 5 AM. And woke me up from a very recent sound sleep that I had a lot of difficulty recovering. So no calls unless it's after 9 my time, if it's possible? Fey-Fey needs sleep or she starts hallucinating. Let's all work together to stop hallucinations in Fey. ;)

Madness Most Macabre...

Redid the old LJ layout, finally.

For once, it's not fandom. I was considering another HBC layout, but I decided not to. I've used up all the usable pictures, after all. And while I am still active in a few fandoms (HBC, SH, VB) I'm honestly mostly into my own work right now.

Which you will very rarely see me posting about, because I'm one of those people who can't talk about a project while it's in the works.

Anyway, as I have decided that I very much like looking at Toda Erika, I figured I may as well use her for an LJ theme. Consider her my muse, if you will. Hey, she's quite an improvement from the surly, whiskey swilling old chap who's usually my inspiration. ;)

I can't believe the day is nearly gone. Where the hell did it go?

Ah yes, I pleasantly wasted a few hours at CU, enjoying Crack Day. Henry and Myre were very easy to write OOCly. Henry, a normally quiet, calm, inoffensive soul who's not so great with words becomes an unrepentant asshole. Myre, normally self assured to the point of egotism and a loner has become a whining, insecure, needy mess. Maria...Maria was harder. She's a little more complex than the other two, but I thought to what OOC qualities always piss me off in fan fiction. Mainly, the idea that there's nothing to her but sex. So I went that way, after briefly chatting with Nija about it. It's been vastly entertaining, to say the very least.

No one's going to want to look anyone else in the eye after this is over. :D

I've no idea what to do for dinner.
