Mmm. New obsession. By the name of Benedict Cumberbatch, of BBC’s Sherlock (2010) fame. Good God is the man ferociously sexy. (Apparently, yes, 花痴 is the perfect epithet for me. ;) ) He wields his voice like a painter does a brush, a virtuoso par excellence, his melodious tenor tones sweeping Sherlock Holmes’ speech into a dazzling performance of ( Read more... )

So I went to see the first part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last Friday at a newly constructed IMAX theater. My expectations weren’t terribly high, nor were they terribly low. I was expecting something similar to the fourth or sixth movie (because the fifth, unless my memory is seriously failing me, was just flat-out brilliant), ( Read more... )

My entire physics lab class is currently locked in each of our own rooms, scribbling away in agitation at our latest post-lab report, the most difficult and involving to date. Stress - especially communal stress - always leaves me with the urge to dissolve into hysterical laughter for some reason, but before I get back to work, I have a website/ ( Read more... )

I've been combing through The Leaky Cauldron's page documenting the WB/JKR vs. RDR Books trial, as objective of an information archive on this topic as one could find on the 'Net.

I've now gotten an InsaneJournal and a GreatestJournal, under the same penname. I'm pretty sure GJ worked in China, but I've no idea about IJ. If either or both journals work out, I'll be moving there come September. Quite a lucky coincidence that "Boldthrough07" (or is it still called "Strikethrough07"?) is going on right now, so a good chunk of ( Read more... )

My parents have asked me at least five times each what the url to my online journals are, and since I having absolutely nothing to hide >:), I give it to them. Of course, I know that they never go online to read it, so it doesn't really matter either way. At least, that's what I thought-_- My mom just informed me she went onto my LJ a few days ago ( Read more... )
