crocodile rocking, it's something shocking, when your feet just won't keep still

#most disjointed and ridiculous post ever! HOORAY.

First of all, I have a thread up at help_japan here, if anyone wants to go bid! I mean, it feels a bit weird being like "three people might want to maybe bid on me?" but W/E W/E, if anyone does want to bid, please do! I will write fic like there is no tomorrow.

SECONDLY! I watched The Village again the other night, and - okay, so, just, I love this film, first of all. I remember watching it when I was like 13/14 and, like, ~impressionable~, and I remember it was the first time I cried at a film because of the score. JAMES NEWTON HOWARD, YOU HAVE RUINED ME. Seriously. SOBS OF PURE EMOTION. Anyway, it means a lot to me in, like, my ~film history~, and I hadn't watched it since I was about 15, and I just wept my way through it. Bryce Dallas Howard never fails to blow me away in this film. AND LET'S NOT FORGET JOAQUIN PHOENIX EITHER. I know the general consensus on M. Night Shyamalan is not overwhelmingly positive these days, but this - I love this.

BUT THIS RAMBLING IS NOT MY POINT. MY POINT IS:



LET'S EXAMINE THAT IMAGE AGAIN SHALL WE?

1) FRAN KRANZ. TOPHER FUCKING BRINK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. AND WHO IS THAT SITTING OPPOSITE HIM?
2) OH IT'S JESSE EISENBERG.

akjgdjhegfhjsdgfjhsdgf oh my god, you should have seen how I flailed myself off the sofa. #never any dignity ever. I mean, I am relatively sure I am late to the party on this one, but still. I am writing both my jossverse_bb and also the bakery au right now, so that was just like FANDOM SMASH: THE LAST THREE MONTHS OF MY LIFE EDITION.

ANYWAY. I also wrote a thing, which is like ~400 words and ridiculous and I shall put it here in a separate post, just - idek, for the sake of inclusion and togetherness or something. MOVING ON.

god this post is so disjointed. I haven't slept properly since Christmas!



A few brief bulletpoints re: Greek:

- the last time I watched this, I was so insanely overworked and exhausted I can't even adequately explain it, so watching it again now is actually really nice, because it feels like I am actively watching it rather than just grabbing desperately at anything that isn't work.
- ALSO there is nothing on Region 2 dvd beyond the first ten episodes of s1, what is that about? ugh ugh ugh.
- WHY DO I LIKE CAPPIE SO MUCH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL. When I first started watching, I remember being like "ugh what is this, who is this guy, why do we need another contrived plot when Casey is already with Evan?" (~deep thoughts~) BUT SOMEHOW I DID THE MOST EXTREME 180 EVER. I don't understand it at all, but there we go. His face! His not entirely displeasing rest of him! BUT MOSTLY HIS FACE.
- reserving judgement on Rebecca Logan so that lovestories doesn't snap and beat me to death with a broom or something
- Casey is somehow my favourite. SPENCER GRAMMER, YOUR FACE MAKES ME GO STUPID. She's so happy! And perky! But also calculating! Like a slightly Machiavellian kitten! idek.
- LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE CALVIN AND ASHLEIGH, because it's a lot.
- don't care about Rusty, won't care about Rusty.

ALSO, I am genuinely and completely blown away by the comments on the bakery au. YOU GUYS. <333 I don't even know, just, THANK YOU to everyone who has said such lovely things, I am trying to get round and reply to all the comments, I promise. As a few people have friended me since (which, come say hi! I was going to say this post isn't a great representation of my sanity, but then, um, it actually really is. My sock just fell off my foot the other day all by itself. I am not a together person, let us say) and since I've been getting the updating swing back this year, I thought I'd do that five things not everyone knows about me meme! ~deeply interesting at all times~

1) I can roll my tongue into the shape of a three-leaf clover.

2) Asking me to choose a favourite film would be like asking me to choose a toe I didn't mind being cut off, which is to say, puzzling and painful, but if I were pushed, I could name two as joint extra-favourites. One is Spirited Away. The other is THE EMPEROR'S NEW GROOVE. ("GROOOOOOOOVE") I have watched that film more times than is sensible or maybe socially acceptable.

3) I am hyper-flexible but not double jointed, so while I am all bendy in weird ways - like, I can bend my fingers back so they're parallel with the line of my forearm - I'm not actually impressively bendy.

4) I am currently writing seven different tsn fics. SEVEN. This is also the reason I might actually flunk my Spanish exam on Friday, but I REGRET NOTHING.

5) I have a weird addiction to Big Fish Games. I just downloaded and finished Phantasmat, which was A++++. I also really really loved Date Warp, from Hanako Games. Relevant to everyone's interests: a visual, sort of choose your own adventure, novel; the plot: on a date with this guy, the car crashes in a storm, you take shelter in a weird big house nearby only to discover ~weirdness~ afoot; also staying in the house: a super-intelligent scientist who has a weirdly ~intense~ relationship with his super pretty servant/friend/ROLE UNKNOWN. MANY ENDINGS TO UNLOCK. MANY DELIGHTS ALSO. RAFAEL/LINDS MAKES MY SOUL HAPPY.

WHAT EVEN IS THIS POST, oh my god, I am too tired to be allowed on the internet. ~dubious decisions to post things of dubious quality~

TELL ME YOUR DOLLHOUSE THOUGHTS! I SPENT THE WHOLE OF JANUARY REKINDLING MY LOVE FOR IT. dshgfhsdgj. I mean, I watched it this time last year and then had to just back away from it as soon as I finished due to the NEVER-ENDING HEARTBREAK. OH MY GOD, ADELLE AND TOPHER. I WILL NEVER STOP CRYING. DDD:

You reeeeeally need to see this movie! I mean, it is not like the greatest film ever created, but it does make me cry with alarming regularity, and has a couple of scenes that are AMAZING, the end.
