Lily Chou-Chou, Dumbo, and a llama

Tuesday, 10 February, 2004 at 6:43 pm

So I was looking at the Lily Chou-Chou fansite ’cause I couldn’t remember why I didn’t download the movie clips and now I feel like watching the movie again. ^^;;;

I also want to see Dumbo again. ^^;; What? Last year I read that it’s supposed to be a “perfect imitation of a Disney film” because Walt had nothing to do with it and yet they were able to rehash everything he’s ever done in a movie. :b And someone else said the pink elephants scene was utterly pointless dribble, but I never thought so. It scared me as a kid, but I also thought it was really entertaining. ^^

I also have to see the Emperor’s New Groove. Is that what it’s called? I was reading this Disney book in the college library on Disney storyboards, and they were talking about this movie called “Kingdom of the Sun” about an emperor who was turned into a llama. Yeah. I also want that book. Preeeetty paintings! ;.; Mum has this book on Pinocchio and the art in it. There’s an amazing painting of that bar of soap. :P

still alive

… Yeah I’m still awake. >_> And still on the computer. <_< I don’t feel like going to bed. I feel like writing up an entry here.

Latest news and stuff: I uploaded my graphics final to inangeling-dot-net. I’d post the link up here, but the site is down. -_- Too lazy lately to contact support and bother them. I also created a wallpaper site and uploaded that to inangeling-dot-net. But … the same problem mentioned before.

I bought two Sandman comics this week. Still haven’t read the eighth one. Oh yeah. The seventh one, I had three $5 off certificates (for being a preferred reader and spending, apparently, $300 at their store in the past few months o_o;;), so I paid only $3.19 for it. XP Then I got a 15% off certificate through the mailing list, and I was allowed to add that to my usual 10% discount, so the eighth one cost me only $16.52. :)

I also bought myself Confidential Confessions 3 today. And Mum and I went to eat at the mall and we shared Panda Express; chow mein, beef and broccoli, and chicken and pineapples. Yum.

Tonight she and I watched Bend It Like Beckham. Yay! I liked it. ^-^ Except, the quality of the tape was bad, and add to that the English accents … x_X Mum and I kept asking each other, “What’d they say?” and rewinding it. Hah.

Lily Chou Chou wa SUGOI desu yo! XD

AHHH!!

O_O!!! I just saw Kill Bill. And GUESS WHAT?!!!!! I HEARD A LILY CHOU-CHOU SONG!!!!!! Omigosh XD XD XD XD!! That was sooooo coool! It made me like Kill Bill. :b (It’s a funny movie, and I liked Lucy Liu ^-^ but still not up to my tastes.)

At the lilyphilia board they said it’s the song Kaifuku Suru Kizu, or Wound That Heals. It’s in the scene where she’s lookin’ at the swords. Wooo! :D

Yeah, anyway. ^^;; I thought that was uber cool.

[edit] *cough* Sorry. I forgot this. ^^ IMDb put up a page for Lily Chou-Chou as a composer. Not bad for a fictional character, eh? XD XD [/edit]

we said goodnight

I want a new layout. o_O That girl is bugging me now. Quit staaaaring at me!!!

Well, I think I have a nice EGL pic … think because ever since I downloaded NS 4.7something (which I use for e-mail … NS 7 be slooow … and Outlook Express = faulty), all my JPEG images get saved with a .jpe extension. O_< Half the time it’s recognized as a JPEG and tries to open in PSP, then says it’s not a supported file. The rest of the time it’s marked as an unknown file so I can just rename it and add “.jpg” to the end. Now is not one of those times. -.-;; So I’ve got the data on my compi. But it’s under the wrong file extension!! GAH! Well, I could either set folder preferences to show extensions of known files and rename the extensions, or open Photoshop and resave them. But I’m too lazy and/or busy at the moment. ^^;;; Oh yeah, the third way is to go to the site and resave them (adding .jpg BEFORE I save), but since I had a hard time finding the site last time … and since I found out that the site sells mainly 18+ stuff mostly … o_O I don’t wanna go find it again.

So. Anyway. Uh. I’m kinda studying for Art History. Writing down the terms and definitions. Also have to write down pertinent info on the Greek sculptures. Um. Yeah. I’m kinda almost done. ^^;; One more day tomorrow to study.

Yay, I got a WMV version of My Immortal. ^-^ Now I just need to get something to get screencaptures of WMV files. >_> Such a pretty song … prettty …

And … Ben Moody left Evanescence officially. Wahhhh!!! ;_; So sad!

[trigger warning: suicide]

The movie I wanna see right now is Jisatsu Circle. AKA Suicide Club. ^_^;; It’s a … horror/commentary film. Yes. A bloody film that questions the state of Japanese society. Sound familiar? (Battle Royale … which I still need to see … x_x) But, as this one site says, “…it’s almost a pure antithesis of Battle Royale, in which the adults felt threatened by the youth.” And it has the guy from Mystery Train. ^_^;

This site talks about the plot and stuff. It also pretty much gives away the ending. >_> But then again, I guess it isn’t really the ending that you watch the movie for … ^.^ “Opening with a notorious sequence concerning an exceptionally bloody mass suicide of 54 schoolgirls under a Tokyo-bound train….” Yeah. ^^; Oh yeah. It’s kinda sorta really gruesome, so … if you just ate (which I had, when I read it x_<) don’t go, unless you like the feeling of nausea. (And, I am also not the type of person to get nauseous. I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I felt that way. So … yeah.)

Then this site‘s review says it’s too confusing, that it’s only worth it to see the extreme gore. ^^;; Maaaybe. :) (Amazon has it for $21, region 1 … Region 0s on ebay for … $10 or more. And a SC/BR pack for $20. ^^ Hmmm …)

everything I say is a lie

Hm. (I have to stop starting entries with that …) I just remembered this Word document I have, where I put all the lyrics I have songs to, or lyrics that I like, and last time I checked it was 325 pages … yeah, and I think by now my collection has about doubled, but I haven’t been adding lyrics to the document, they’ve just been going straight on my lyrics site. ^^;; I like the Word document because, if I were to ever want a lyric with a specific word in it … I’d just have to use Ctrl+F. :) Nifty, yo. But … meh. Lazy. I still have to update my lyrics site. o_O I’m trying to add credits to the lyrics, and I got up to The Cardigans and got scared. (I have six pages of lyrics for them. *nodnod*) So … yeah.

Watched Count of Monte Cristo. :D But the book is better many times over, definitely. (In the audio commentary: “If we followed the book perfectly, the film would be 35 or 40 hours long.” XD) Mommy and I watched Count of Monte Cristo from 7 to 10:30, then watched the extra stuff, then watched Dead Like Me (blue books … scary o_O), then I watched random tv (Simpsons – Bart: “Are you gonna eat that whole thing?” Homer: “Pinchy would have wanted it that way. *sob*”).

Then I remembered I left my laptop on. … Yeah. O.o;;; Getting off now, though …
