forever and ever is a very long time;

Sunday, June 21: Merlin premiere (8 pm/ET)

YES, YES, AND YES. Dear friends list, if you enjoy the mangling of Arthurian legend, ye olde bromance, bad CGI and a smokin' cast, then this show is for you. I'm going to have a small seizure if/when commercials for this start popping up. I'm really surprised NBC is going for this. I wonder if they'll try to market it to Heroes fans in need of a summer fix? The Sims 3 is coming out in June too. Oh God.

Going home today! I am determined to beat Prince of Persia by the end of next week.

Been watching Merlin, and for all it's cheesiness and strange reworkings of Arthurian myth (NO ONE HAS BEARDS. THIS IS NOT CAMELOT), IT'S SO ADORABLE. All of the actors are either too cute for words, smokin' hot, or both. And Arthur and Merlin have delicious, unintended UST. You try for ye olde bromance and just end up with gay. I keep wanting to make Monty Python jokes. :v And Santiago Cabrera plays Lancelot!

I wasn't able to finish Prince of Persia before I went back to school, but I'm hoping that I will be able to over spring break.

I hope you all have been having a good 2009 so far!

I've been slowly but surely working my way through the newest Prince of Persia. It's pretty easy (even for me), but damn, do I love annoying Elika by pressing 'T' all the time. I LOVE TALKING TO HER. YUM BACKSTORY AND CHARACTER INTERACTION. The video card on our PC at home is a giant wimp, so I have annoying lag sometimes, but it's usually bearable.

Watchmen came in the mail last week, I finished that a few days ago. Everything about it was absolutely amazing: characters, plot, everything.

Also, some girl who's only seen bits and pieces of the original Star Wars trilogy retells it with deadly accuracy:


Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it) from Joe Nicolosi on Vimeo.

I absolutely love that she didn't mention "LUKE I AM YOUR FATHER."

I was a little nervous about buying the new Prince of Persia, but it's been getting good reviews, and it's only $30 at Toys R Us! I am so happy this game plays as deliciously as it looks, even if it's reportedly a little easy.

Junjou Romantica is my newest godawful guilty pleasure. Talk about old (fangirl) habits dying hard. :/

Ugh, I've had a bunch of papers due recently, and finals are in two weeks. I can't wait for this semester to be over, go home, put Christmas music on full blast, and watch A Muppet Christmas Carol endlessly. Deceeemmberrrrr.

( Music meme. )

I'm considering pre-ordering the new Prince of Persia game for the PC and praying it plays as beautifully as it looks. I'm totally in love with the art style and graphics. Or maybe I should wait for a review or two? :/

NINTENDO ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE DATE FOR NEXT LAYTON GAME PLEEEEASE. I keep hoping they'll announce Pandora's Box before the end of the year. D:

NBC has the new season three posters, which I love, up for sale, but they're $20 each. I kinda want a Petrelli brothers trio and maybe even a HRG. I probably don't have enough space anyway, I'd have to take down the other Season One cast poster I have. :( Maybe I'll wait and see if they go down in price or if I can find them somewhere else cheaper. I miss the "Vote Nathan Petrelli" stuff they used to have too. If I had a car here at college, I totally would have bought a bumper sticker.

My favorite thing about Halloween is that either Disney or ABC Family plays Hocus Pocus. Best Disney Channel movie EVER.

...Talk about Biblical imagery! I've never seen that poster before, it's pretty snazzy. I love you, House. :D

The new Prince of Persia looks really interesting, I might grab it for the PC when it comes out. I know the buddy system can be frustrating in games, but hot lady-friend seems to mirror the Prince's movements well, and he even grabs her hand and swings her up when she lands just below him after a jump. I'm a sucker for pretty graphics, and I love high quality screenshots. Yum.

Hm. I think I might have slowed down the network trying to get my songs on the Mac to my laptop, downloads are taking ridiculously long. I'm almost done, though! I've also been really frustrated with my Hotmail account lately, I think I might get a Gmail account instead. The only trouble is redirecting everything. :/

I made chocolate chip cookies this morning but I forgot that EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSE IS A SCAVENGER. I made a dozen and there's only one lonely cookie left. No cookies left. D: But I still have brownie mix! :D

Now I have to vacuum. :/

I went to the mall today, got two t-shirts, two headbands and a nail kit. :D I also went into Gamestop to see if they had any Sword of the New Word boxes, but I was too lazy/shy to ask if they had any in the back, so I think I'll just order it from Gamestop online. For only $5, I can finally get a UPC who usually requires Cash Shop items. :D! My Wizard is level 52, but now the hat I've had for him forever doesn't match his armor. D:

I also beat Song Summoner a few days ago, BUT AGH THE ENDING. SEQUEL NOW PLEASE. I wonder if it'll be an episodic game?

Captain Rainbow...? Oh Birdo (I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't remember until about half way through that Birdo's a guy).

I also bought Song Summoner for my iPod. I am turning my songs into FIERCE WARRIORS. Weird enough, I'm pretty sure it's the first Square-Enix game I've ever bought....

I am craving some Beauty and the Beast, but I don't have the VHS tape anymore, and the DVD is kinda expensive because "LOL it's in the Disney vault!!!!" ASDLFJKASDFHASD DISNEY

Finally downloaded the GIMP onto this computer because I keep loosing the Photoshop CD. D: But it works just as nicely~ It's been a while since I made any icons, too.
