It has been my Sunday Thing for the last month. A nice ritual! Tonight is the semi-finals, with Jaedong vs Effort in ZvZ. For the uninitiated, this is Jaedong:



Yeeeeaaaaah

Sort of related: how the hell do you dye something red and not have it come out fire-engine stripper-shoes red? Add some grey dye? Purple? Blue? I fail at colours.

What is up with this warning brawl? People are cross about "having to go out of their ways" for people "too fragile for the internet"? Dudes. Dudes. It is nice to warn for erky shit, because not everyone wants to read your erky shit! Also: if you are a terrible person, warnings make it easier to find terrible things! so if you can write twenty thousand words about pop stars getting violated by medical implements, you can surely spare like a few extra to say "hello! this contains bad things.". The end.

Oh yeah, 24 hour comics-- the boy and I pulled an all-nighter at Casa du [info]jingdono, though I threw in the towel at eight pages in and spent the rest of the night eating M&Ms and making fun of everyone as they slowly went mad. This is the best strategy, I think.

Please point your eyes towards Cryptopher Rabbit and the Case of the Confounding Corpse, Jing's entry, which involves murder mysteries, a certain mako-infused general, and sparkly :I vampires. If you sign in to the forums, you can read the boy's comic about Pig Pirates, too. (After uploading it, Photobucket deleted one of his pages for inappropriate content. This confused us, as his comic was PG-13. Apparently he'd drawn a hand so badly, Photobucket had thought it was a penis. That's... kind of impressive, really!)

I haven't really read many entries that weren't thrust at me over breakfast, but this one is bleee cuuute.

AAAAAA someone leaked Meet the Spy

INTERNET

I LOVE YOU

Everything about this is great

Also Dapper Rouge: The Catalogue for the Gentlemen Scoundrel is wonderfullll



I am actually in the middle of moving house and have no internet, but have been checking in every morning on someone else's computer to see each morning's updates. It's like a lulzy advent calendar.

(PROTIP: moving house with eight snakes, two dogs, a gecko, and an irritable seamstress boyfriend and his seven sewing machines is an adventure in pain. On the plus side, I have a house! A real one! With a garden, and a shed, and and and! I HAVE A LOUNGE ROOM. ALL TO MYSELF. WHAT THE HELL. I don't know what to do with all this space. :<)

<3!, tadayasuuu
Today the dude next door came back from his holidays. I know this because he bought around all my mail that'd gone to his place instead. o austraya post, what did i ever do to you.

[info]saltedpin, ahahaha, the pufferfish! I will put him next to my Kaiji, blowing terrifying kissyfaces forever. :D

[info]senri, aaaa, I can't believe you made that! You're super talented, girl. And, like, that you gave one to me? Srsly, I am all aflutter. :D :D :D Wearing it right now~

So full of love <3
It balances out me now having like two months worth of bills to go through aie
~*~FABULOUS~*~
Today's Sniper update = :D :D :D

Now, hold on," you keep saying. "Aren't bows and arrows primitive and harmless?" Why don't you ask the dinosaurs? Except you can't, because the cavemen bow and arrowed them to death.

When Valve said they were going to give Snipers new unlockables, I was all >:C. Snipers are the worst class in the game- there's nothing more annoying than being instakilled from half-way across the map by someone you can't see, they travel in bloody packs, and they're the chosen class for srs bsns FPS types. But! They are actually fixing that! By making them fun and less douchebaggy!

I've played Sniper for like a minute before giving up at the unfun of it all, but as if I'd pass on a chance to pin Spies to walls. :D

Also the new bow is called The Huntsman, and I will not hear anyone saying that that is not awesome.

also also also sniper is like a zillion times hotter now how does that even workkkk

I can't quite brain how Hiroaki Samura can create one of the most well-written female characters out there, then turn around and do books and books of nothing but ladies getting raped and mutilated. Like. What.

Unrelated: last night I had a dream where James May, Richard Hammond, the Marquis de Carabas and I were sneaking out of the evil samurai lord Clarkson's castle. We had nearly made it to the escape helicopters when de Carabas tripped an alarm. "I told you we shouldn't have trusted him," I cried, as we ran from the ninja guards. "He doesn't even make thematic sense!"

I did not know that all this time I was merely reading normal het romance novels in disguise. To think, all that buttsex is really just all about stealth vaginas. And hey guise, we're all hetero now! Wow, you can learn so much when straight old white males are there to explain it to you.

I usually don't like American series because of several common bugbears, but I've been watching a lot of Psych, and I'm really really enjoying it! It is dumb, and Lassiter is the best worst cop. ♥

  • Having a secret folder of terrible late-nineties pop hits to sing along to when the house is empty will only preserve your dignity until someone comes home earlier than expected and catches you singing along to the Macarena.

  • Ahaha, the Russian cover of The Lions of Al-Rassan! Apparently the defeat of the caliphates in moorish Spain took place somewhere in medieval England. During a renfaire.

  • Whenever I go to the Federal Court, the security staff keep triple-checking my DS. Yesterday I caught an elevator that absolutely reeked of weed. Good priorities thar, team security.

  • This will be the second year that Australia can send entrants into the World Cosplay Whatsit, so boyfriend thought he'd give it a whirl, what with actually working as a seamstress already and all. Winners get a paid week in Japan, and all sorts of goodies. The only thing he was worried about was the competition-- they'd be too good!, he complained. Too many! Too experienced!

    Five people bothered to enter the first round.

i see!
Whenever I see people talking about what makes good female characters, their advice always seems to fall along the same lines: give lady characters their own agency, friends, and family; a variety of realistic body types and clothes are nice; try not to rape and/or kill them just so male characters can have a reason to get their revenge on.

I've been watching Green Wing, and would like to add something to that list: unglamorous negative personality traits make for good times! By glamorous negative, I mean exaggerated cliches like "the bitch", "the slut", "the evil witch" etc. Those are dull. But every single female character in Green Wing is absolutely lolarious, because of all the shit they get up to. They're sarcastic and stroppy and slightly mad and funny (how often are the ladies the comedy instead of the straightman?), and it is fab.

tl;dr: Sue White is queen of everything (contains bad language and the best onscreen tension ever)



GENTLEMEN?
[info]kaatsu: In his former life as a tracker of dangerous game in the unforgiving Australian outback, the Sniper would spend months by himself.
[info]kaatsu: everyone on the team is impressed until they find out that the only game in Australia is rabbits, goats, and some severely lost camels
[info]jamtrousers: what are you talking about, there's heaps of dangerous things to shoot in Australia
[info]jamtrousers: they're all just either one inch tall, or in the water
[info]kaatsu: I'm imagining Sniper wading out at the beach, pants rolled up around his knees, gun barrel in the water, having quick-draw matches with cone shells
[info]jamtrousers: "blue-ringed octopi come with their own bullseyes, mate, don't knock it"

[info]kaatsu: [fic excerpts] his jacaru hat
[info]kaatsu: it took me like a whole minute to figure that one out
[info]kaatsu: this annoys me more than it should
[info]kaatsu: fuck vegemite and koalas, I am going to write a super Aussie story in which he hails from Ettamogah and rides banteng
[info]kaatsu: chasing bandy-bandys and numbats across scree
[info]kaatsu: gets paro and has a brawl with a Hills Hoist
[info]kaatsu: swears he saw a diprotodon once
[info]kaatsu: I will finally have an excuse to use "get a dog up ya" in prose
[info]kaatsu: there is no slash because he refuses to shag anyone until they learn what a mark is, and why Collingwood is bonza

[info]jamtrousers: new unlockable: a series of increasingly horrible spiders
[info]jamtrousers: under his commands, they can band together to steal the intel
[info]jamtrousers: no-one will try to get that one back

[info]froggie's art is like ten tonnes of awesome, so when she opened for commissions I wanted to jump on that. But I don't have original characters, or anything that people usually get. I was, however, getting backstabbed six ways from Sunday in TF2. And so.

tame but NS F some W I guess )
GENTLEMEN?
The boy, [info]jingdono and I have tickets to Japan again in September. All three return tickets added up to less than a single return ticket last year. Thank you, global credit crisis! I have a feeling that the economic stimulus package is not supposed to go towards okonomiyaki and Qoo, but who can help these things. Perhaps boyfriend will not implode this time. That would be nice.


I like this!

Boyfriend also bought a copy of this dumb game. We are one wicked Heavy/Medic combo, partly because I spend most days shouting instructions at him anyway. Sadly, the only German I remember is the nursery rhymes that my oma sung to me as a kid, which means that Heavy has been pushing leetle karts to the tune of Hoppe Hoppe Reiter.

Also, That Movie )
i see!
Sobbb I hate the internet outside of my little e-territory

-Since when were Looney Tunes for children?

-This troper wanted to facepalm when she saw commercials for shows targeted at young children (such as "The Wiggles") on her DVD of The Last Unicorn. Yes, it's a cartoon movie about a unicorn, but it's no My Little Pony.

-Maybe that was the reason why several shows like Ranma 1/2, squarely and completely aimed at teenagers, were aired on the kids' TV slot during The Nineties. Being sarcastic, of course, a TV show featuring a Dirty Old Man and a dude who turns into a girl is meant for kids.

-Dreamworks' animated features, particularly the Shrek franchise and now Kung Fu Panda, may well be offering a way to help bridge this animation gap. While none of those movies can be exactly termed adult animation yet since they have a lot of kid-friendly moments, neither are they standard kiddie-fare.

-in Australia, the weekday cartoon block Toasted TV showed Naruto at one point. Not only did it change the opening music to an ear piercingly bad rap that would put the One Piece rap to shame in terms of bad quailty, but they heavily censored the show. They failed to realize that Naruto, unlike Dragon Ball and Digimon, is not supposed to have any "kiddy" aspects at all and is far more violent then the aforementioned shows.


Things that aren't for kids: Naruto, Looney Tunes, Ranma, The Last Unicorn, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda.
