Listen to my station on Blip.fm!

Today was a pretty productive day. I got my car inspection, then went over to WalMart for some things. Got new work shoes and casual shoes, and got almost everything else I needed for my Kurapika cosplay-- shoes (much darker than his, almost black instead of blue, but the same style and they were comfy), sweatpants, thin white socks, a hobo bag. The only thing I need to do for that particular costume is style the wig and find a way to make his swords. Oh, and make a badge out of cardboard to tap to the front of the tunic.

One of our dogs had to be put to sleep today, because she had cancer.

RIP Angel.

So Christmas is here, and I got:

A PS3! XD It was for my birthday as well, but yay! It's a 60GB, so it's backwards compatible, which is what I want since I have so many PS2 games. Now I don't have to get a PS2.

Also got Ratatouille, The Last Samurai, and the Dark Knight on Bluray, and a digital camera and memory card. Yay!

Merry Christmas, everyone! ♥

This afternoon it was 75 degrees, and now its snowing. o.o

Oh, Texas weather.

Here's a list of the current requests and fulfillments for the Merlin kink meme with the pairing of Arthur/Merlin. This is current as of approximately 12/17 01:00 central time. Thanks to memoryfloodsin for compiling the initial list.

♥ If you make a request, please try to fill one as well.

GO GO GO MERLIN FANS!!

So guess what I'm into lately?

Yes, that's right, the BBC's Merlin. XD It is so not historically accurate, but still so much love. And of course, Merlin/Arthur is my OTP.

I am definitely looking forward to NBC showing the series in January. Nice birthday present to me, ne? ^.^ That also means they'll eventually release the series on DVD with a region code I can actually watch. XD

So anyway, fic recs! I've been moving through the fic like there's no tomorrow (and holy crap is this fandom prolific.) Most of these fics are really long, which is always a plus for me.

Next Time, I Will Remember This And I Will Say 'No' by paperclipbitch (PG-13, Arthur/Merlin)
Arthur convinces Merlin to pretend to be him when he visits a neighbouring kingdom to meet the eligible princess.


And None But We Can Be Such Kings by janne_d (R, Arthur/Merlin)
Merlin really was the court idiot. Was this what the Dragon had meant by halves of a whole?


The Beast of Winter by linaerys (R, Arthur/Merlin)
Arthur fights a beast out of legend. There's a very surreal feeling to the fic, almost makes it feel like you're reading a dream. The fic successfully mixes elements from the show and other, darker elements from Arthurian legend.


Springtime Promises by linaerys (R/NC17, Arthur/Merlin)
Arthur and Merlin go to the Druid Isle for Beltane. This is the sequel to The Beast of Winter, but it also stands on its own.


The Chatter of Britain by lynnmonster (R, Arthur/Merlin)
Gossip is what binds a court together; gossip, intrigue, and innuendo. Merlin is good at keeping things to himself, except when Arthur's around.


The World Under Heaven, Here All Is Lent by takadainmate (PG, Arthur/Merlin)
Arthur and Merlin survive. My only low rated rec. XD The dynamic between Arthur and Merlin here is awesome, as they work together so effortlessly to defeat this menace.

Holy crap, I just got the third season of Supernatural on DVD for $15 on Amazon! ♥ I love Thanksgiving sales!

...Best Buy had it on Bluray for $23, but they were sold out online. ;_; Oh well, DVD is good too, since I can't play Bluray on my laptop when I want to show it to Izumi-san, and since I already have the first two seasons on DVD anyway.

I'm going to the Carrie Underwood concert in a few hours! Woo~! ♥♥♥

Oh wow, Rightstuf shipped my Ouran box set yesterday, which is kind of strange since the release date isn't until the 28th. o.O I've heard of things being shipped a few days before release, but this is nearly two weeks before.

Not that I'm complaining, if that means I get my shiny DVDs earlier. XD

1. Open your unsorted images folder, or if you don't have one, any other images folder.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Find the first three images that begin with that letter, and post them, whatever they are. Give the name they're saved under.

( Letter B! )

...Do random guys usually hit on people on Myspace? Is this a thing that happens often?

So apparently I caught a cold at Afest. ;_; I haven't had a cold in forever. It sucks.

Since I haven't felt like doing much today due to being sick, have spent the day finishing a Fushigi Yuugi puzzle, and playing Phoenix Wright: T&T. Seeing all the awesome PW cosplayers last weekend reminded me I had yet to finish game 3, so I've picked it up again.

I thought I was close to the end, but apparently I was only towards the end of case 2. Which is good, I guess. More for me to play, since I don't have the money to pick up Apollo Justice right now.

Speaking of cons, future cosplay list:

Chichiri
Amelia
Filia
Penny Nichols (Afest 2009 PW group!)
Meilin
Kurapika
Hikaru Shindou
Fuu
Mimi (already done, but may update the costume)
Mistral

I just reformatted my computer, and uploaded a few albums of music to be saved from the formatting. I figured I might as well share them, so:

Panic At The Disco - Pretty. Odd.

I want the official Yuna necklace. A few weeks back, someone was selling a used one on the cosplay.com marketplace for $50. $50! So I messaged them, but someone else had already expressed interest and bought it first.

I then found out the Square Enix shop has them for sale, but it'd be near $200 to get it from there, so I kinda gave up.

Then, a few days ago, someone listed a Gunner Yuna cosplay outfit on the cosplay.com marketplace, saying that it came with the "authentic" necklace, for $100. I wanted to make sure, so I asked if it was official Square Enix necklace, and if they'd be willing to sell just the necklace. Their reply was simply "hi no sorry." (Referring to selling it separately, complete with bad grammar.)

Then, I figured, what the heck, it's only $100, still almost half off, and I can sell the costume for at least a little something. My next e-mail asked how much shipping would be.

( E-mails under the cut, because this is getting long. )

...I think I'm going to cry... I didn't think they'd DO something like that... D=

Does anyone on my flist watch Soul Eater? I want to fangirl about it with someone, but I don't know anyone who watches it.

Pairings I like:
Soul/Maka
Stein/Deathscythe
Black Star/Death the Kid

And my latest purchase:
( Gacha gacha! )

Not that I know what I'm going to do with them, as I already have more than enough keychains. XD I know I'll at least keep Maka and Soul, and probably one Shinigami-sama, and try to sell Black Star, Tsubaki and the other Shinigami-sama.

I am also going to be cosplaying Maka at Animefest. Two more months! ♥
