Why, look what I got in the mail today!



Yes, that is a ticket for Phoenix Wright: The Cross-dressing Musical! I bought it off a ticket scalping reselling website for only slightly more than twice the face value. (Sorry, [livejournal.com profile] misspaulette and [livejournal.com profile] anruiukimi, but I didn't think you guys would want to pay that much, and three seats together would be impossible to find, anyway. ^^;;) But it arrived really fast! I'm impressed!

Ummm, in other news, I've been really busy, if busy means watching tons of downloaded shows. I marathoned all of Merlin (Arthur=hot, y/y?), caught up on 3 eps of Kuroshitsuji, 8 eps of Tales of the Abyss, and watched 11 more eps of GetBackers (seriously, they could just make the entire show onsen filler episodes, and that would be fine). I really want to watch Maria†Holic, so I hope that a group that doesn't suck picks it up. I'm also a little pissed off at Shinsen Subs. Does it really take an extra two weeks just to re-render something in xvid format?

Anyway. I also did a ton of laundry and dishes, so it's not as if I've been entirely lazy. Tomorrow I'll need to do all my New Year's grocery shopping, since Wednesday I'm catching Pokeymans and then going to the aquarium with [livejournal.com profile] jougetsu. :D Holy crap, the year's almost over!

Oh, and have a piece of Christmas cake:

100 4160


Crane count: 253 down, 747 to go.

Congrats on the ticket even if you had to pay more! I think that is just the way it is sometimes, but at least you have one!

Yes the onsen episode of GB was awesome ♥ I'm supposed to be watching Kuroshitsuji, but it's just not holding my interest. ^^;; Though I do at some point want to get Vampire Knight and I keep getting tempted to watch Junjo Romantica since I like Sakurai. >>; I'm being good about watching 00.

BTW if you download a program called Perian you can easily watch MKVs with Quicktime on the Mac. It's what I do for 00 since waiting for avis that are decent quality sucks.

I love that GB OP, I use to own the CD

Thank you for the tip! ^3^I knew there had to be something, but I didn't have the energy to go searching. How much of Kuroshitsuji did you watch? The first few eps dragged on like hell (no pun intended). I've been meaning to watch Junjou Romantica, too. But people abbreviate it as JR, which is not sexy at all, lol. Unless it's the Nozomi 700.

All fighting scenes in GetBackers should be replaced by scenes where everyone is naked, or else Kazuki is in a dress. It would make the show so much better.

You're welcome I got it from [livejournal.com profile] kosquarepelli last year when I was having problems watching Code Geass because the main group subbing it hated VLC and did everything as MKVs. When watching things you just need to wait until the little bar goes to the end. Occasionally with 00 when I first start an episode it is a bit off for a few seconds, but if I then go back to the beginning it works fine. I just watched 00 that way about 2 hours ago. >>;

I watched the 1st and just could not bring myself to watch more. I keep telling myself hot butler doing shota, but it's not working. I love JR ♥ I bought one of their CDs. lol But yeah I want to get into Junjo cause the main uke is Sakurai and I love Sakurai, he's one of my 2 favorite seiyuu.

And my other favorite seiyuu is Kazuki in GB XD;;;; It was particularly amusing because GB ran I think right after Seed (or was it before) and you got Hoshi being pretty gay in both lol BTW did you get to the Ginji in the hospital episode yet? It's an incredibly gay series, it's hard not to die laughing when that one bad guy talks about his hand throbbing for Ban and Kazuki and Ginji are competing over who has the bigger harem.

I actually love some of the filler episodes like Natsumi, Prince of Ping Pong and GB vs. evil high school girl.

BTW why haven't you tried Code Geass?? or did you?

Ohh, the first episode of Kuroshitsuji was sooo boring, but it gets much better after that. Bleh, like I said, I just can't bring myself to watch any series that involves people getting in giant robot costumes and fighting. Gundam Wing was more than enough of that to last a lifetime.

[identity profile] rkold.livejournal.com 2008-12-29 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes it was, but when the first episode is that bad it is hard for me to watch more. I had that problem with 00 Season 1, luckily I didn't really need to watch 1 to watch S2.

Awwww Geass is really nothing like Wing. I watched some of Wing in 2004 and was surprised by how.. not gay it was ^^; I'd just come from Seed which was excessively gay and a huge giant soap opera in space. ♥ Wing was OK if you wanted politics but the characters were sort of meh and I have a hard time keeping track of giant robots.

Geass has giant fighting robots in it, but hmmmm they're not as important as you might think. A lot of the series is more based around high school hijinks in R1 and Lelouch using his evil eye.

Other than Lancelot who is white and Guren who is Red most of the other mech are just really not so important, I think it helps that Lelouch is a crappy pilot lol

R2 a lot of people complained about the lack of mech and how short the battles were. R2 mostly focused on Lelouch starring in a harem anime and the Geass writers loving Clamp, and uhh Suzaku being super gay.

Yay for getting a ticket to see lovely crossdressers singing and dancing! :D Woohoo! Have fun and tell us all about it!

Mmmm....caaaaaake... I actually made Christmas cake this year--twice if you count for Masa's birthday (on the 22nd). Next year I'm going to try and not be such a pig about yummy sweet things so I have to get my fill now. *laughs*

Wa~ I want to eat Sue's cake, too!!

T____T I'm sooo jealous! But I'm not the game otaku, so you totally deserve to go! I just hope to go to a Takurazuka show sometime in the near future (I'm just too chicken to go & do it myself... yet).

But yummy cake looks yummy! HOpe you're having a good fuyu yasumi!

Cross-dressing lawyers? What will they think of next!

GetBackers = heart
