So at San Diego Comic con this year, if you reserved a copy of X-men first class, you would get either a Team Charles or a Team Erik T-shirt, I pre-ordered two specifically so I could have both shirts. But since not everyone could go I decided to make a pdf of the shirt images so you can print,screen print, make your own. I have the front pictures done, the writing on the back and the writing on the sleeve will come later :)

click on the pics for PDF's for printing.

                                                                       

for those who want to know the text on the back of Erik's shirt says "Peace Was never an option", and the back of Charles' says "How's That for a magic trick?"

 So this compilation has been a long time coming, I actually had most of the songs for about a year now (I went to w00t St0ck last year and hear a bunch of geeky artists, but I never got around to making it. Because I was uber lazy, you get no album artwork at all! I hope you enjoy this mix and with out further ado

The Track list )

I have been using my time since school got out catching up on T.V. shows I missed, I have just started watching the second half of season three of EUReKA (anyone on my F-list watch it?) and after I finish that I have a huge amount of House to catch up with. i also got my hands on a ripped copy of The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series and I am loving it. I am currently trying to find a way in which I can afford to buy the box set (Costco has it for $99!) and still go on my vacation.

. I t is official, music video ideas have started to invade my brain again so I am going to start vidding again. The first on my list of things to do is a Supernatural music video to Gogol Bordello's Wonderlust king 

and hopefully a Merlin one to get it together by the Go! Team  

I also want to remake my Tinman video in DVD Quality now that I own the DVDs ( I love that video so much and it makes me incredibly happy that it was the first tinman video on youtube too! XD) and I also Really want to re-make my Chuck music video secret agent man as I rushed the ending a lot. 

In other news I cant find a gif of watson attacking a guy with a frying pan from the 2009 sherlock Holmes movie and it is driving me a little bit crazy. I guess I shall have to make one myself.

Iron Man 2

 So in preparation for seeing Iron man 2 today my brother and I re-watched iron man last night. It was pretty fun except he had tro go and ruin some things. we paused the movie so that he could rant on Tony Stark's welding methods. Apparently cooling metal in water like that makes the metal very brittle so when he got shot at the bullets would have gone right through the metal.

We also somehow got onto the subject of supernatural and we have decided that Dean would be Iron man while Sam would be Batman. Dean has the whole ladies man thing going on and with the (scroll over for slight spoilers from Iron Man 2) Daddy issues and Self destructive tendencies brought up in Iron Man 2 it fits so well. Sam on the other hand is an angsty little guy who walks more on the dark side of things. This revelation brought us at leas an hour of hilarity.

My thought on Iron Man 2 )

I made a few for Fantastic Mr. Fox and some of Amanda Fucking Palmer. I plan to make some of them into icons as fell I just have to shorten them or size down the amount of frames. enjoy. :)

My love for this album knows no bounds. When I play it in the car I start to rock out, like using the steering wheel as a drum and dancing around rocking out. There may also be a lot of loud singing involved. So becaue I love this album so much I have decided to share it with you guys too :)


Here comes Science by They might Be giants )

I absolutely love finding remakes of songs that take the original song and turn it into something completely different. I love them to bits. So here is a list of remake songs that I like more than the original song (or just as much but in a different way.) and a download link to said songs

Remakes that are vastly different from the original )

stolen from meimichan because it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun!

Pick 20 movies/TV shows/anime/video games/literary works and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BetterThanItSounds) and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.

I have the best friends in the world. For my 21st birthday my freinds all gave me awesome hats! And just yesterday I got my last birthday gift and it was a frikin Gothic Lolita dress!! With a sort of hoop petticoat!! First of all the dress is just awesome and second of all a Hoop Petticoat! The thing that is most difficult about my Lolita outfits is finding enough petticoats to keep the skirt the right pooffiness so this hoop petticoat = love! I have to do a few alterations so the dress will fit me better and change the way it laces up in front, but overlall it is awesome! For those of you not familiar with lolita fashon here is a useful guide.

and now a rant on lolita fashion )

My dork factor has just gone up by one million. My final project for sci-fi lit class is displacement and differences: Analyzing the Self and the other in Invader Zim. It is really ridiculous how excited I am to do this presentation and it is not just because It is on Invader Zim, the ideas behind it are getting me really excited, i have found a lot to analyze in the show. But Hey one of the other guys in my class is using Batman Beyond and Samurai Jack to show Dystopian futures, so we are basically just the coolest class ever. Also this means that my homework for this week is having an invader Zim marathon :)

In other news the Cracked.com article on Livejournal is Frikin Hilarious

LiveJournal is 95 percent female. Like an acting club or cheerleading squad, the minority of males who use it are either gay or there for the chicks. The all-female atmosphere means that 95 percent of LJ comments consist of people hugging each other, and the other 5 percent consist of people apologizing for judging someone’s Harry Potter rape fanart.

Person A: This is pretty intense.
Person B: You’ve offended me.
Person A: I didn’t mean to. I merely meant that your portrayal of rape is quite subversive to the dominant patriarchal worldview.
Person B: My feelings are still hurt.
Person A: I’m so sorry. Hugs.
Person B: Hugs.

Go read it now!

For my final project in my Science Fiction literature class we have to pick a topic related to science fiction and write a 750 word essay on it and do a 15-20 minute presentation on the same topic. For my topic I have chosen the self and the other as represented in science fiction. For those of you who are unsure of what this means, the self in science fiction is generally represented as the known, while the other is the unknown. Say we have an alien force invading earth, the self would be the human race while the other would be the aliens. But the other is not strictly limited to aliens. The other could represent anyone or anything that is out of the norm or that doesn't fit in.

I still don't have a specific thesis pinned down, but I was thinking of doing the others journey to become part of the self. For examples I was thinking of using Ronon Dex (Stargate Atlantis), Teal'c (Stargate SG-1), The companions (Doctor Who) and possibly Zim (invader Zim). So I come to ask you guys if you have any links to anything that will help me in the instance, any good character studies or Meta in regards to these characters. Also if you can think of any other good characters for this let me know, shout it out here in the comments below, i will be glad for any help, my thoughts seem to be all over the place for this one.
Weird Al
It is 2:05 a.m. and I am sitting at the computer eating bacon, waffles and eggs that I have just finished cooking, I have a horrid sleep schedule. By the time I am finished posting this it will most likely be a half hour to an hour later because I am anal and re-read my post a million times before I post it. I will also most likely look at this post tomorrow and be horrified by all the typos and grammatical errors I find. I have also come to terms with the fact that I have this aversion to posting things on my journal that aren't awesomely important or fandom related and I want that to change starting now.

I have decided that I really want to throw another period tea party. This time I will make sure EVERYONE wears Victorian clothing and we shall try to speak with accents. I am willing to make scones again but MY GOD NOT FINGER SANDWICHES! THEY TAKE FOREVER TO MAKE! I also want to throw another costume party and possibly a murder mystery party. I just love throwing parties :D

Last period Tea party!

In my fanmix progress post I mentioned that I might be making a supernatural fanmix. It is officially happening now. Not only is it happening, but my brain has decided I am making three fanmixes instead of one. My brother is pouting about it because apparently I have turned him into a giant fangirl. He came into my room the other day and told me he hated me and then said he had a song for my fanmix. Apparently now when he listens to music he thinks about how they could be made into fanvids or if they would fit into a fanmix. I think it is hilarious considering he is not in any fandom at all, and I have to tie him to a chair to get him to watch my fanvids (although I guess it evens out because he has to do the same to get me to listen to his compositions) and sort of hates the internet. He just sort of grouches at me about it. I know inside he was already a huge fangirl because he has a huge not so secret mancrush on Richard Dean Anderson. He did a full blown fangirl squee when he found out he was coming back onto SG-1 for a couple episodes after he left. No lie.

I am also desperately hoping that Weird Al will come to Arizona again to preform. I saw him for his Straight out of Lynwood tour and he was amazing so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Now I will leave you all with the song that has been in my head for the last couple of days

Here is my newest playlist titled Songs to Listen to after the Zombie Apocalypse and it has songs that are about just what the title implies.It includes songs by Muse, Queen, Stolen Babies, Creature feature and others. I myself see them  as a narrative about a character in this post apocalyptic world. The songs tell the story of  their journey from when the outbreak happened to fighting zombies to their inevitable death.

Blarhg! So music mixes have eaten my life lately, I am working on five fanmixes for Merlin, One fanmix for Waldorph's A highly Illogical mind series, a playlist titled songs to listen to after the Zombie apocalypse, and have ideas for a Doctor Who Fanmix, A supernatural fanmix and a Demon's Lexicon Fanmix (a book by the amazing Sarah Rees Brennan A.K.A. Sarahtales)

Fanmix updates and other stuff )

 So I pre-ordered final Fantasy XII. I was going to be a good girl and wait for all the reviews first but they tempted me with a limited edition numbered  hardcover guide book with all the game artwork in it.

So I couldn't resist. I went to the midnight release (I normally don't go to bed until around 3:00 I have a CRAZY sleep schedule) And put it away for the next day.

my impressions so far )
