Fuck you, EnumSet class

Happy birthday, Laurus! I ♥ you and I've been owing you presents for years, but have a good day!

1. I'm still deciding on whether I should sign up for Yuletide or not. On one hand, there are fandoms this year that aren't really small, WTF, but I'm not complaining I really want to write (Persona 4! Tales of the Abyss!), so this could give me an excuse to sit on my ass and do so. On the other, will I have the time, and more importantly, will I have the disposition? Real life is incredibly uninspiring in general right now, to the point it's even cockblocking my capacity to do school work. How can I, when I can here someone sobbing next door every half an hour?

2. However, lately I've been writing Gaimanesque Greek-Roman mythology fanfic in Spanish. What's this I don't even... Should I cross-post it to my fic journal?

3. News like the bird dropping bread over the LHC are justifying why I keep saying that the great force moving the universe is randomness.

4. Am I the only one who thinks, regarding this, that Kojima is not only trolling his fans but also the Twilight ones? Oh, and LOL Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

5. I've been watching more real-action TV lately than anime. I don't know either.

Thank you! ♥♥♥ And don't worry, really, it's not like I'm all that great at birthday presents.

With freak accident after freak accident piling up over at CERN, the idea of time traveling particles returning from the future to prevent their own discovery is beginning to seem less and less far fetched.
... silly universe, stop giving me plot bunnies.

But you know the Doctor is the one doing it. */helpful

And I've been seriously thinking about it as a plausible explanation since I read those news.

Also: Happy Birthday :D

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I was going for "Q is doing it for the lulz". I'm on a Star Trek kick lately. XD

And thanks! =D

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

That obviously means I need to get into Trek. Once I'm done with Firefly. Maybe :x

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

Ah, but the question is: TOS or TNG? :o

... and I seriously need to watch TOS in order before I become the one who's seen the least of it. XD

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

You should be the one telling me where to start \o\;; I think I'll tackle the new movie first.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

The movie is a really good place to start - it gives you a great overview of the characters, the universe and the general tone of the series. I think if you like the characters you'll want to start with TOS.

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

I'll do that then :D

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

I'd say you should wtach the movie first, woman XD

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna \o\

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

Yo tenía un link de cuando la vi, te lo paso? :o (Aunque había varios o8)

[fujurpreux.livejournal.com]

Luego la busco |D Igual tengo varias pendientes *se bajó Disney Hercules randomly*

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

Bueno D'|

Me gusta que yo no tengo que bajarme ninguna de Disney porque mi hermana las tiene todas 8D

I was telling Lynx that this must be a ninja cyborg bird from the future... who's its own grandparent and step on a butterfly.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

BEST. THEORY. EVER.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Indeed. Oh, and read the comments to that news post. Some are extremely geeky.

And you reminded me I did want to watch TNG. Now that you mentioned Q, it seems like the kind of trolling crap he'd do, and I only watched the first episode.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I will! I hadn't read them yet.

Yay! /o/ Juuust watch it with sense of humour and an open mind. Kind of like Merlin XD

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Hey, I wanted to watch it because the Picard Song is hilarious. It can't be less silly of a reason than that! The problem is finding synchronized subs...

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

The Picard Song is amazing XDDDD IT'S A GOOD REASON I SAY.

And that's a pity. D= I only ever watched it dubbed on TV, heh.

[kirarakim.livejournal.com]

That bird article is the best thing I've read in awhile...seriously :D

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Reality IS stranger than fiction! XD

[envydia.livejournal.com]

I want to see a Twilight anime done by those guys. And Hideaki Anno. It would be so mindfucky and awesome and may actually make Twatlight bearable.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I think Twilight is already mindfuckery as it is (WTF C-section birthing with teeth), but at least it wouldn't look like a bad trashy shoujo with a couple of mecha, cloning as plot device, (un?)intentional homoerotism, and maybe Italian vampires covered in bees.

Randomness is what makes the world go round....and what breaks the world as well.

I wish I could watch more live-action shows than anime....but it never happens. :'D

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised the world ends for some really random reason XD Penguin slipping on a banana peel and accidentally activating weapon of mass destruction sort of random.

I still don't think I do that, but lately I've been too lazy to download anime episodes. Maybe I'm not in the mood? Or the current season isn't that interesting and I want to watch hard-to-find old series instead?

[the-great-elk.livejournal.com]

Oh gods, it's been so long since I've seen an episode of anime it makes me sad ;____;

And I missed Laurus's birthday ;alkdjf;alkdjf

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

No time or nothing good to watch? Because I do have an anime backlog, but haven't felt like it.

[the-great-elk.livejournal.com]

No time and no motivation. Every time I sit down at my computer for any extended period of time I just... end up doing something else instead ):
