Talkin bout movies, music, and my life (friends should read)
15 years ago
So it's been a while, but in case some of you guys don't look at old journals or just forgot, here's a reminder.
All my adult and mature art I've received via commission or request is all over here
Callipygous
While I may not check the comments or favs or whatnot on that account, it is where I post anything that isn't of a general rating. So check it out if that's your thing.

MOVIES:
So I've been watching some movies recently, a few older ones and a brand new one.
>I watched Matrix Revolutions on netflix last night, and while I do understand the first one was better, I never really understood why people suppressed hated the 2nd and 3rd Matrix movies...
>Right now I'm in the midst of watching Les Miserables, mainly because this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VR1bOha40U is in it, and because my sister rather enjoys it. I mean she was right about musicals (when I thought they were still boring/sissy/etc.), so I figure I should at least watch it... I'm 25 minutes in and so far it's not bad, but no epic musical numbers yet... XP
>I watched Tangled on the day it came out (with my family while I was visiting them over Thanksgiving break), and I must say it was really good, and I liked it quite a bit. Though I must say the male lead, reminded me very much of Aladdin, and the female lead had a very "Ariel" (Little Mermaid) feeling to her... Still epic sauce, and worth watching, you know, if your still a fan of Disney and their films... XP
MUSIC:
-Beatles-
I recently started listening to some more songs by the Beatles (glances all around and waits for
to come flying in out of no where at the mention of the Beatles...). I mean I've listened to some of their songs before and like a few of them (Here Comes the Sun, Hard Days Night, and All you need is Love.), but I never really went more in depth to see which other songs of theirs I might enjoy. So now I'm fairly obsessed with Yesterday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwS_YDzxH3M (the lyrics and the singer, guh just chills ) and I've also come to find myself enjoying: Let it Be, Help, I want to Hold your Hand, and to a slightly lesser degree, She's Leaving Home, and Hey Jude. (once again looking over my shoulder expecting to be pounced by mooners with oodles of more song suggestions, not only based on the ones I mentioned liking, but popular ones and ones she likes too...)-Misc.-
Some other songs I've found recently and loved are:
-Let's Just Fall In Love Again by Jason Castro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzoiTk6oSKw +fun little romantic song
-Heaven Is A Place On Earth by Belinda Carlisle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOGEyBeoBGM +an older song but still fun, my sister was listening to it and I decided I liked it...
-Cute Without The E by Taking Back Sunday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ6IBr9K5q4 +I haven't heard many songs by Taking Back Sunday, but the ones I have heard I've liked, I need to listen to more by these guys...
-Hunting High and Low by Stratovarius http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-4Gm6VG4O0 +Epic song, reminds me of Through the Fire and the Flames (which I also like...), I also enjoy their Eagleheart song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2HhJkOsFus
-Little Buster by The Pillows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhNN9GIbsS0 +good times XD found it because I re watched FLCL recently....
-Smooth Criminal by (or covered by/etc.) Alien Ant Farm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDl9ZMfj6aE +I happen to like this version....
-Safe And Sound by Kyosuke Himuro ft. Gerard Way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKKm3CkCMNY +I recently watched the new version of Advent Children (it was recently released, they added some new footage and redid a ton of scenes, the new version is epic and is easier for people who didn't play the games to understand...) and this was one of the songs they put in the credits (it replaced some other song), and I loved it XD
-Karma by Bump of Chicken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz8A889diyQ +Don't let their weird name and lack of English put you off, this song is freakin' sweet!!! (This is the song used as the intro song for Tales of the Abyss, which is how I found it) Bump of Chicken does some other songs I really like Sailing Day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeIk_s6X8n8 I highly recommend you check these guys out
MY LIFE
-Real Life-
Okay moving right along I've been crazy busy lately, what with finals coming and such. I've also been feeling like I don't care enough to get online recently so my online appearances may be rather sporadic...
I want to thank everyone for wishing me a happy Thanksgiving, and I hope you all had a good break too.
I did just recently find my cell phone, (the little bugger has been missing for something like 2 months....) and that means I'll be busy catching up on missed texts and what not. (This really doesn't apply to most of you...)
I'm still broke as hell, but it's my fault really considering I haven't gone out and gotten a job yet...
-Online Life (aka FA, and other online community things like SL, Gaia, etc.)-
I recently moved my submissions that were either adult or mature over to my new account for art like that. It's
callipygous for anyone that missed it. Also I plan to post a new journal over there soon...I haven't been on SL for a couple weeks after having my avatar finished (
kipper0308 did the skin, tails, and facial structures/features, I had to work to get the tattoo (long story involving lameness of SL mirroring anything on the right arm to the left one, so I ended up buying some cool leather armor stuff to cover up most of that arm), the glasses, belt(s), and such separate, and then make everything work the way I wanted it more or less), and if anyone wanted to show me some fun places to hang out, I'd be grateful. Please keep in mind that for almost no reason I'm really shy on SL (not to mention a noob for the most part), so I'm looking for someone to hang out with too...Haven't been on Gaia in far too long, and intend to get back on sometime this week...
I recently joined up with http://myanimelist.net which is actually pretty cool and useful. Since I've joined I've found a ton of fantastic Anime I might never have found, like: Durarara!!, Kanokon, Kampfer, Nyan Koi!, Omamori Himari, Scryed, GunBuster (1 and 2, though 2 is like 10x better), Tales of the Abyss, and Vandread. All of which were pretty fantastic. It also helped me decide to watch some anime I'd heard good things about but never felt like watching, like: Baccano!, Full Metal Panic! (all three seasons including Fumoffu), Fairy Tale, and Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. All of those turned out to be really rather fantastic shows and I was glad I ended up watching them. Definitely drop by and check out "my list" http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Kazard and see what series I'm in the middle of watching, what I plan to watch, and what I've watched, and how I've rated all of those. I've found that finding anime that people with similar interests and tastes have rated highly, is one of the best ways to find new anime series that you'll enjoy...
Okay that's all for now, hopefully I'll be on fairly more regularly ^^
You should listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7K72X4eo_s and THIS BAND http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ejg.....=TL2DVglEj7_Jc
They're absolutely amazing and my favorite.
-flails around- Good luck on finals love!
Thanks love!
I'll definitely try to be on Aim more often ^^
and I LOVVVEEEEEE the Cranberries. >.>
<.<
>.>
Almost as much as
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!
(My favorite Live-Version -because he's so ADORABLE- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms65JQTBCcQ)
They really are a great band. I mean, when you first listen to them, you're like "yeah, I guess they're good and that songs nice." But the more you listen to them the more you're like "ZOMG THEY'RE AMAZING. AND GENIUSES!!!!!11!!1"
I will now shamelessly throw other obscure and random songs I love by them.
BRACE YOURSELF LADDIE.
~Not the Beatles, and I think I threw this at you already, but here's Paul (the same singer as "Yesterday"):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm2YyVZBL8U
~My very FIRST favorite Beatles song! (First one I heard by them and the one that got me into them)....Also sung by Paul
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Itt02QOO0
~ Still one of my favs (Sung by John):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETO3YfDKEI4
~ The very first -seriously- metal song. (Also inspired Charles Manson... eek. By Paul and it's actually about a giant slide at an amusement park)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8rwnK3hyxY
~ Have I ever mentioned how much I love Paul's voice? Especially in this song? lublublublublub dat voice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ibeqQA2_Yw
~ I call this the Beatle's "Hobo Bear" stage xD (sung by George)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsBe1B8jvSY
(If a guy ever sang that to me -well- he'd be a very happy man, let me tell youuuuu)
Last one.
For now.
~ Three songs in one! :D (Sung by John, John again, and then Paul)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpGbx7nwWBw
I am now giving those songs you linked a listen.
-Maybe I'm Amazed, went into my favs on youtube....
I used teh interwebs to give me a starting point on which other songs by the Beatles were famous/popular, but I figured if I wanted to know what other songs I was going to like based on what I liked, I could either flail about with pandora, or come to the expert....
Ironically it was a television special on either Discovery or History, that got me thinking about it for real....
Eleanor Rigby, was another one right up my alley...
I'm Only Sleeping, was pretty good but I didn't like it quite as much as the first two
I didn't like Helter Skelter, so much, I think I wanted to like it, but unfortunately it was not to be...
Long Tall Sally, was okay, but not so much my style XD
I'm going to call this one Something, because it appears to be the real title... XP and I thought this one was another rather good one ^^
Ahhhh! don't do that to me! I'm trying to do other things while listening to these songs, so I can't tell whether I liked a particular song of the three as well as if you had linked them separately DX overall it was okay though... but one at a time from now on you hear?
They're my one of my favorite things about the Fab Four. I just really love the harmonies in "Eleanor Rigby" (and the violin part) and in "I'm Only Sleeping"
I didn't like "Helter Skelter" either, till I saw Paul perform it. Changed my lifeeeeeee (among other things)
Long Tall Sally's early early Beatles, pretty much took a song from Little Richard and proved that white boys can make a good song even better.
SOMETHING's so goooooooooood. (But I may like "Guitar Gently Weeps" better, I go back and forth)
But "Maybe I'm Amazed" = teh shit.
