Sibling (*sharing something he read on the 'Net with me*): "HAHAHA! 'I'll be the Obama to your Hilary!'"
GUYS, GUYS, I've just watched this movie called
Stormbreaker and it is the MOST HILARIOUS SILLY-RIDICULOUS parody of British spy movies I have EVER seen. It stars Ewan Mcgregor, Stephen Fry, Bill Nighy, Mickey O'Rourke and the
prettiest beautiful new blond thing I have ever laid eyes on. Pretty Blond Thing's name is
Alex Pettyfer, and I would choose him for Tidus for the way he makes me feel, except he is (a) too pretty for Tidus, (b) too smart for Tidus, (c) too serious for Tidus, (d) just wrong for Tidus. The only thing he has in common with Tidus is that he is (a) very blond, (b) very pretty, (c) very young. His mother was a model, and
he was a model for Ralph Lauren
and GAP, which explains why he looks so ridiculously pretty in all his movie shots. He
turned down the role of Eragon. ... HOW MUCH PRETTY are we missing out on that we could have had because of that decision!? (Shh, don't tell me it was smart of him to turn down Eragon. I just want PRETTY. I don't NEED smart!)
... he's
too young! for lines like:
This is after the Supervillain (who killed his uncle) saves him ... IN THE SAME MANNER as he KILLED HIS UNCLE.
Him: "
Why did you do it (save me)?"
Supervillain: "I have displeased my superiors."
[some talking later]
Super-redheaded-supervillain: "You're not meant for this life (of espionage). Leave it. Forget about me."
Him: *fierce glare* "I'll
never forget about you."
Supervillain: *shrugs* "It's your choice."
Speaking of FFX,
elvaron has just linked me the
MOST AMAZING Auron/Braska fic ever. You know there are those stories where you
know you'll love them within the first ten lines? Yep!
This is one of them. It's by
ciceqi, whose FFAC work I
adore, and I loved it even though I barely know anything about Braska yet (THAT WILL CHANGE).
Also,
kotomine and I are
trying to find as many badly+hilariously subtitled movies as we can, and between us we have:
Prisoner of Azkaban Bad Subs AND the
Yu-Gi-Oh Movie Bad Subs - which was WRONGLY subtitled with the SAME MOVIE POA got badsubbed with.
Star Wars: Backstroke of the West Subs Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Bad Subs If you know of any more, please feel free to share! ;)

SO OF COURSE I had to stuff "Atem" in it:

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

The Yuugi/Yugi answer was really wrong, though. Totally off.
Today I met
lonedreameryaoi for the
My City By Day Tour (1) Since she's a movie fan like me, I had to show her The Cathay (my favourite cinema in the country), and warn her away from Golden Village for its thirty-minute ads of DOOM.
(2) Walked to the Singapore Art Museum (it is selling the
loveliest stuffed toys for charity)
(3) Walked through the very pretty SMU - all the gorgeous water fountains
(4) National Museum: this was an AMAZING trip: even the free version is amazing! They have a Louvre Treasures exhibition on now that is totally ♥!
(5) Fort Canning
(6) past Stamford House (very pretty), to
(7) CHIJMES; and
(8) Raffles Hotel by day (for photographs, a new perspective!)
Stopped for lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant near Raffles Hotel and then went to Bugis to meet
nescienx.
Met up with
nescienx, who very kindly put up with me going cloth shopping at Arab Street (God, I love Aik Bee Textiles). We tried out the Fabric Flash Test: trying out how fabric looks under camera flash (you have
got to know before you buy it!).
nescienx came up with the idea, WHICH IS BRILLIANT. The very nice uncle was incredibly tolerant, many hearts to him!
Then to my place to meet up with
aingeal_isilme. ♥ I honestly can't think of a better way to spend a torrential rainy afternoon than indoors with tea and two computers and anime and two of my most favourite people in the entire world. Especially since
nescienx will be
leaving again on Monday (cries!)! But I cheerfully subjected them to substantially the whole of Gurren Lagann, and and and:
nescienx gave me
The Office and
Dexter *THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH ♥* and I gave her
Supernatural and I AM SO HAPPY AT THE FANDOM EXCHANGE.
ohmyGod.
nescienx showed us
The Fire, from
The Office, and
IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I IMAGINED IT WOULD BE.
For the longest time now I've been terrified that when I finally saw
The Office, I would
actually dislike Dwight, but to my COMPLETE JOY, I ACTUALLY LOVE HIM EVEN MORE NOW that I have FINALLY got to see him! I laughed so hard - he is an AMAZING character and his actor is an AMAZING guy for playing that character so damned well!
OH GOD AND THERE WAS SO MUCH MICHAEL/RYAN. SO MUCH. So much INAPPROPRIATE TOUCHING and Michael always wanting to BE ALONE with Ryan and shoving Dwight off for Ryan and hurting Dwight's feelings because Michael was SO OBVIOUSLY RYAN ♥, DWIGHT WHO?!
I wanted to hug Dwight all the time. Especially when he went into the car after Michael said Ryan knew more about business than Dwight did. And then he played EVERYBODY HUUUUUURTS.
And Jim+Pam were nice to him and then laughed about it afterwards.
... Jim's girlfriend looks SO MUCH LIKE PAM. It is a pity we cannot remember her name. Neither
nescienx could remember the name of Ryan and Michael's girlfriends off the top of our heads. I thought Ryan was dating Kelly, but I wasn't sure.
OH RYAN. I think I've met too many people
just like you to ever be able to like you.
I just want to make this massive Office post with screencaps everywhere going MY OTP, THIS OTP TOO, THIS IS MY OT3, ETC. ETC. ETC.
This episode of the Office is full of so much sad unrequited shipper moments for the slash fandom! Michael is
crushing so hard on Ryan and Ryan is ^^;;; "Eheh. Uh." *edges away* Ryan is
such a bad actor. I don't mean the
actor is a bad actor, but ARGH, IT IS SO PATENTLY OBVIOUS what he is REALLY THINKING that I wonder how he's ever going to do in business.
I ship Dwight/Michael so hard. Also it is so unrequited, I cry! Just like Michael/Ryan is unrequited! But it is so sad, really!
Therefore I conclude that Dwight and Ryan should totally get together. ♥
AHAHAHAHAHAHA, and that scene where they all answer the "Who Would You Do" question had me
hysterical. OF COURSE MICHAEL WOULD WANT TO SLEEP WITH RYAN. WAS IT EVER A QUESTION.
GOD THERE WERE SO MANY MICHAEL/RYAN MOMENTS, and I just went "OH GOD THAT IS SO WRONG" when during the fire, Michael went off with Ryan ALONE, and then got RYAN CORNERED IN HIS CAR. It was so POTENTIAL TEENAGE DRIVE-IN MAKEOUT SCENE except Ryan REFUSED TO PLAY ALONG.
... God, if you get off on Ryan's discomfort... this is such an AMAZING show. ♥
... I laughed so hard at the RYAN STARTED THE FIRE ~ song. SO GOOD.
... now I really want to go and watch that episode where Dwight takes Ryan off for a sales training course and then ties him up in the cornfields. ♥!
... WHY is it that it seems like at least 30% of
YOU GUYS were into YGO long before I ever heard of it? If I go back through
playthedamncard's entries to 2006, I FIND SO MANY OF YOU THERE?!
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.

To sum it all up, "Screw the rules, I have money!" Hahaha! That is so Seto Kaiba indeed! XD
Random fact: Every time I install a new software in my laptop I always type in Seto Kaiba as the owner and Kaiba Corporation as the company. I never thought anyone would notice until a friend of my sister's pointed it out in front of a lot of people. I JUST DIED XDDDD~
I THOUGHT THIS WAS PERFECT FOR ATEM:
"You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life.
You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home.
You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated."
OHGOD ILU for the Seto Kaiba thing! ♥ If I had been in the crowd of people I would have cheerfully hurled myself at you with LOVE and SAID, "YUGIOH FAN TOO?!" ♥
... ohmyGod. I probably do something even worse: near my office there is this tiny tiny tiny anime and figurine store, and every time I walk past it, I pretend it is the Kame Game Shop, and ... sometimes when I'm walking around in my office I pretend IT is KaibaCorp. Especially when I'm around the meeting rooms and the incredibly impressive boardroom.
... :D
I vaguely considered reading them for the trashy entertainment value, but uh, never got around to it.
READ ONE AND TELL ME HOW IT IS :DDDohgod I have gotten to the stage where I am buying books and barely having the time to read them? But but the NLB has the Stormbreaker book, I do think I will drop by and borrow it, or reserve it if it is all borrowed out? I have to my great distress discovered the joy of reserving books (a) you know it will be in when you get to the library, (b) you don't need to hunt for it (c) it is given directly to you, and I am very willing to pay the $1.50 fee for the popular books that I really want!
HAHAHAHA PEI YI I HAVE THE FOURTH TEMERAIRE BOOK, you want? The sibling is reading it now, but should be done by the time we meet again! Both of us find it UNPUTDOWNABLE. XD
I LOVE TRASHY ENTERTAINMENT, I HOPE THIS LIVES UP TO MY NON-EXISTENT EXPECTATIONS!
