A Little Cup of Cyanide

Okay, huge news. Well, not HUGE news, but still. Vampire Knight volume 4 is available for pre-order! I'm happy people! Be happy with me!

URGH! Where have I been, people? Please tell me, because I haven't the slightest clue.

Since I'm here, can I complain? You won't object, will you? Of course not! Good. I feel like ranting about, get ready for it, sandwich bags. Evil little things, those sandwich bags. They're clingy and evil and they don't close and they're evil... Did I mention the evil? And they get melty chocolate chips all over you, which would actually be a good thing if I was allowed to EAT the cookies. But no. I was working. You're not allowed to eat the cookies when you're working.

And. Supernatural is over until April 24th. I think. Don't hold me to it and mark your calendars or plan a huge All New Supernatural Episodes party or anything. So, what will I be reviewing every week? I haven't watched Lost since the second episode, and honestly, I haven't got up the desire to watch them online. Which means it's probably gone forever as far as I'm concerned.

Ooh, new obsession. Ready for this? Anyone who knows me would go completely crazy if they knew. Death Note. Surprisingly awesome manga. I have this predetermined belief that anything that everyone likes has to suck, because people have sucky taste. Or maybe that's me? Either way, I've given stuff a try and I never seem to like anything that you hear about at least daily.

Anyway, I haven't watched any of the anime yet, because I haven't quite given up my hold on non-mainstreamness yet. Not quite. I'll probably give it up when I finish reading it, though, but mainly because a friend told me that the guy who does L has a hot voice. Which, dude, is there ANYTHING that could make me love L more than I already do? I'm only on the fourth volume, and he's just the greatest thing EVER! Hmhm. Anyway, yeah. I'll admit that Death Note is very much my kind of thing. But I would have never started reading it if I hadn't been looking at random AMVs on YouTube and stumbled onto it. Then previously mentioned friend hadn't let me borrow her copies. Poor college kid here. I can't afford that stuff.

A few months ago I discovered this awesome manga, Vampire Knight, while looking through my recommendations on Amazon. And today I found out it's going to be turned into an anime. You know what makes me happy? When an awesome manga gets turned into an anime! OK, not necessarily. They could butcher it beyond recognition, but hey, it's worth the risk. Unfortunately I'll have to wait for it to come to the US, if it does at all. Sigh.

I already posted my squeeage post on LJ, so I got you a nice fluffy link instead!

And, apparently the strike isn't quite over yet. Yet, people. But it could be very soon.

So, according to THIS, the writer's strike is over. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but this guy seems pretty sure. I'm hoping. That's all. Have a nice day!

I finally got around to watching Lost. It took me a while to remember what exactly was going on. I had this habit of completely forgetting it was on until about 10:50, then turn on the TV, and it was just ending. Honestly I think the only reason I remembered it this time is because Supernatural was on at the same time and there's no way I'll forget that. But it was never on Thursdays at 9 before, so I ended missing half of the last season. So yeah. I was a bit lost myself.

It took me a while to figure out who that Naomi chick was. I could have sworn that Locke was dead. He was dead, wasn't he? And I have no idea why they were in two different groups. I was SO CONFUSED!

I pretty much freaked when Charlie showed up. I was all "It's Charlie! It's Charlie! Look!" No, really. The roommate thinks I have major issues now. I liked Charlie. And the moron didn't have to die. Stubborn moron. And for a minute there I was hoping he somehow got out alive. *is sad* Show, you got my hopes all up just to crush me.

And Hurley! How adorable is he? It's sort of sad, he thinks he'll be free, then he ends up in a freaking institute. Oh yeah, freedom. Now I want to know just why he should have went with Jack. They both got out, right? And what isn't he telling? Drives me crazy, man.

Who is the guy at the end? Jack's just looking at him like "Oh my god, ghost!" Is he a character that's already been shown, or is he someone from Jack's past that we're going to get to know?

Oh my GOD, people! Did you see that? Was that not AWSOME!! Half a minute left and the Giants got a touchdown. Unfuckingbelievable! So, none of my predictions came through. The Giants won (yay!) no brownies were thrown, and said friend didn't pass out OR die. She just got up real close to the TV. She kept telling me that "Tom Petty is still hot for an old guy." Her exact words. Which, OK, it's pretty true. Maybe not hot, but he's not bad looking.

And, who else loved the Pepsi Stuff ad? My roommate and I were discussing how awesome it would be if that could happen in real life. Well, I was saying it would be awesome, and she's like "You want him dead? Because he'd be dead if he was put through all that. Which, dammit, if you put it that way, it makes me look like a horrible person.

And the Life Water ad. How awesome? What's cooler that lizards doing the Thriller dance?

Super Bowl. I have some predictions here:

1: Patriots are going to win. I will be crushed.
2: One of my friends will pass out/die when Tom Petty comes on. I will laugh.
3: The referees will let the Patriots get away with anything if it means that they will win. I will be irate. I might even throw a brownie or two at the TV.

Now, as for Thursday's Supernatural, which I said I would be posting my 82 page squee post, but never got around to...

There's no way to save Dean? That's so wrong! There has to be a way.

Ruby is good! Or, at least not horrible. I'll admit, I didn't really like like her, but I kind of liked her. I was a bit wary of her. Like, why is this demon trying to save them? She seems OK, but I don't like her yet. But now I like her. She's my new favorite right after Sam, Dean, and the Impala. I'm pretty sure she's got her own agenda going on, but if she's going to help make Sam a stronger person in the process, kodos to her. She's trying to make Sam strong. Awwwww! And Dean and her had a civilized conversation that didn't involve the words "bitch" or "skank". And I love how she's all standing up for Sam, shooting down Dean for leaving him. Somebody has to tell him, because Sam must be going about it wrong.

And there's a demon that can stop the colt. Holy fuck. And if there's one, there could be more, right? And what happens when Dean is gone and another one comes along?

And who's this competition? Is it like, either you beat him and be evil or die? Are those the choices? Like I've said before, I'm all for Evil!Sam. Go at it, Sammy!

Oh. And fandom is having a collective heart attack right now. Seriously. I wouldn't be surprised if there are a million and two Dean/Ruby or Demon!Dean fics before next Thursday.

Now, predictions for next week. I didn't get to see the promo for the next episode until today. But everyone kept going on and an about Dean with black eyes in it. So, I found it on YouTube. And got a cap, which either took great skill or super fast reflexes to get.

OHMYGODOHMYGOD!!! Dean’s going to be a demon! He’s going to be what he’s hunted all this life! The same thing that killed his mother! And father! And basically killed Sam!

Phew. Now that that’s over, I’ve still got lots to freak about. Fucking senior sleepover and their fucking loud seniors. Die! All of you! The roommate and Amanda come in with their seniors about when Dean finds the thing hanging from the chick’s ceiling. I have no idea what the thing is, because Cassie and Amanda and their stupid seniors were squealing. The one is all “Oh my god, it’s Dean from Gilmore Girls. He’s so hot.” Or something along the lines. Like, please, somebody gag her. Then me. Because yes, while he’s pretty hot, Gilmore Girls sucks no matter how many pretty faces you cram into it, I’m trying to watch a good show here, and you, senior, are interfering with it. Keep in mind that I’m a very calm person. There’s no sarcasm in that at all. I don’t usually tell people that they are bugging me, just kind of do my best to ignore it while hoping that my internal death threats are hitting them loud and clear. But no, I usually keep quiet.

But at some point someone says something about studying in the Cave, and I’m like “Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Why don’t you go there and study?” Six weeks, people. I need my Sam and Dean and Impala, dammit.

Anyway, I’ll be back tomorrow with my squee post. Starting off February right! Right now I'm going to watch Lost.

Oh, my layout! It works! Awesome, yeah?
