It's 4 am, and I'm supposed to be studying my life away. But then these two people have to come and steal my soul away.

one; Jensen came back on stage wearing a Jared t-shirt. "I have never been more attracted to your torso, Jensen," Jared said

two; Jared told a cute story about them all being at dinner in Vancouver and Jensen saw something on Jared's cheek and reached out to wipe it off before he realized that he was sort of in a public place invading Jared's space. Jensen looked adorable and embarrassed and said he was about half way to Jared's face when he realized he probably shouldn't be doing that in public, but he was already committed to it, so he wiped it off and then they both chugged their beers to feel more manly.

three; Pictures! Pictures! And pictures!

Mr. Padalecki and Mr. Ackles, please stop being adorable so I can concentrate on studying. Or maybe not. Please continue.

If you're not watching Chuck, you fail.

Sorry for all the late comments, and the lack of commenting lately. School is killing me, and examinations are in two weeks. So yeah, semi-hiatus mode here. I will be back swinging by the end of November. Meanwhile, expect random posts about awesome shows.

Also, is it bad that Heroes is now rather low on my to-watch list? I still love some parts of it, but still, meh.

next time, get a decaf

It's 6am. I haven't slept the whole night. I'm tired, but I don't really want to sleep. You know how that feels like, don't you? (maybe that's the caffeine talking; coffee/tea)

No, I don't really know what I'm talking about either. (or maybe it's the soft soothing korean indie I'm listening to)

Yes, apparently, American and Canadian indie isn't enough for me. I have to go dig into the Korean indie music scene, even though I don't understand a single word or it. Okay, maybe a few phrases I do know, but that's about it. But their indie music is so very pretty, how can I resist? Mostly though, I blame Coffee Prince. It's a Korean drama, a very good one. I'm addicted to it, now in the process of watching it for the second time. Think Twelfth Night, but crazier, wilder, cuter, funnier. Plus, it's about coffee. ♥

Trust me. Watch it.

JARED'S TONGUE. Also, how cute is Zac/Vanessa?

Remember they considered a haunted house storyline for High School Musical 3? Well, they dropped it, which is good. But not really, come to think of it, they should just go ahead with it, and have Dean and Sam come save the day. After that, they can all burst into song. Wouldn't that be just perfect?

I know there must be some Supernatural/High School Musical crossover out there somewhere? Point me, flist, point. If not, fandom, provide please.

(Oh God, what happened to me?)

I love Mondays. I only have a 2-hour class in the morning, and have the entire day free to slowly work through the rest of the week's coursework. Which means I spam with craziness, such as this. Beware.

fandom?

one;
FINISHED ECLIPSE (last night actually, but haven't got the time to post about it yet). Review post tomorrow or during the weekend. Flist, I bookmarked all your review posts, will get to it soon.

two;
Re-watched Troy on TV earlier and remembered why I loved that movie so much in the past. Ahh, Achilles/Briseis.

three;
Done my

crack_impala's post. A smaller edition than usual. Actually, all the editions have been smaller this entire week. Supernatural fandom, stop wanking, continue writing. You know, someone pointed out that this is our 18th wank. We're legal!

I've been reading posts and comments regarding this, erm, incident, and a few points caught my attention. I know the Harry Potter fandom is famous for its wanks. Given the sheer size of that fandom, it's impossible to avoid. But apparently, the Supernatural fandom is notorious for wanking as well. My question is, really? Is the Supernatural fandom that much worse than your average fandom anywhere else? People in other fandoms, don't you guys encounter these issues too? We're all human, aren't we? What about One Tree Hill, what with their ship wars and Brucas/Leyton nonsense? Stargate: Atlantis? Buffy? Pardon my ignorance, I just rarely venture that much outside my comfort zone right here.

Another question I have, how do non-Supernatural fandom people view those in it? In a few comments, someone mentioned that this type of crazy wank is exactly what kept him/her from watching the show or immersing him/herself in fandom. Are we really that crazy? That prone to freaking out over small issues? Or are people just exaggerating? Or we just unlucky in a way?

Okay, this is making my head hurt. It's 4am and I have classes tomorrow. Grr.

twilight playlist update

Twilight fans, I posted download links to the songs on the Eclipse playlist yesterday, and I went a little crazy and decided to do the same for Twilight and New Moon. Plus, all the missing tracks have been found. It's all in that post here. Both zip files and individual mp3s are available. Have at it.

Sorry, non-Twilight fans (wait, WHY?) for the spamming, but hey, do check out the music. Stephenie Meyer has pretty good taste.

I'm almost done with Eclipse. Expect squee/review post later.

Oh, and Happy National Day to Singapore and all Singaporeans. Wear red and white and have a great holiday!

( harry potter and the deathly hallows )

So. Anyone has any good Harry Potter fics to rec? No matter what timeline, what pairing, I'm open to all (although some D/Hr would be perfect). After two weeks of nothing but Harry Potter, I'm a little lost now with nothing to read. Also, link me to your reviews, will ya? I'm not quite willing to go back 52804578247509 pages of my friends' page.

the obligatory jared birthday post

As you most likely already know, we love you. Jensen loves you too. Would have written you a fic, but I'm kinda hitting a creative block lately. Sorry. But hey, Jensen loves you, that should be sufficient.

one; That was the first graphic I've made in a really long time. Guess Mr. Padawhack is what it takes to pull me out of my lazy Photoshop block. Heh.

two; Joining in the freak out, OMG DEATHLY HALLOWS. I'm kinda screwed though, since I'm still re-reading Goblet of Fire. I should really skip straight to Half Blood Prince, but I'm still stubbornly clinging on the thought that if I don't sleep, I should be able to finish everything by 7.01am, July 21. Why oh why didn't I start sooner? Okay, forget it, I''m moving on to Half Blood Prince.

three; I should write something about the end of Harry Potter, shouldn't ? (NO SPOILERS) Something about how it has changed my life completely and how it is most possibly the best piece of literature and adventure in this century? Uh well. It is quite something, I have to say. I have the utmost admiration for Ms. Rowling. The world that she has created is nothing short of amazing. From Hogwarts to Diagon Alley, from Albus Dumbledore to Severus Snape, from Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans to Butterbeer, she has invented a universe so enthralling that you can't help being sucked in. (I remember back in Primary School, one guy insisted to a teacher that we should take the broomsticks from our classrooms and play Quidditch during our Physical Ed. lesson. It was hilarious.)

Not only is the story utterly captivating, her style of writing is potentially cynical and so sarcastic at times, which makes it fun and very entertaining. What amazes me the most, however, is how the stories have substance. It isn't singularly blunt action adventure. The underlying themes about friendship, courage, love, family, among others, ground the stories in realism even which in unbelievable settings.

Rowling is, perhaps, the only author that can write thousands of pages and still not lose her readers among the millions of words and chunks of sentences. Some may say she's overrated, but look at the status of Harry Potter now, 2 million copies pre-ordered on Amazon alone. It's a worldwide phenomenon, and The Boy Who Lived will definitely continue to live on. J.K Rowling, and Harry Potter, is beyond any rating.

I got a little carried away there. I should go back and read my ~~Goblet of Fire~~ ~~Half Blood Prince~~ ~~Goblet~~ ~~Order of the Phoenix~~. Grr.

order of the phoenix

It was awful.

No, not the movie, but the entire cinema experience. First, there was some "technical difficulties" and we ended up waiting in the cinema listening to instrumental music for an hour. By then, about half of the people had left in frustration. It was about 9.30pm, people do have work tomorrow, and others have to catch the last train. I guess they couldn't wait, or couldn't care enough. That was bad enough, but when the screen came on, it was obvious they haven't worked out their "technical difficulties" yet. The screen was way too dark. No, it wasn't the movie's itself, I was sure. I had to squint my eyes at some many parts since a lot of scenes in the movie are already very dark. Awful, just awful. And with a half-filled cinema, it just wasn't cool. I could hear my own laughter during so many scenes. It wasn't a good or fun audience at all. This for an opening night. Pfft.

( as for the movie itself... )

movie

transformers

Is the most awesome movie this summer.

Yes. I don't even think the upcoming Harry Potter flick can top it. And it is definitely way more entertaining that Pirates or Ocean's or Spidey. Yes, Transformers is that awesome.

Disclaimer: I'm not a hard-core Transformers fan, so I can't tell you if it is true to the original stuff.

The reason I got interested in the movie is Josh Duhamel, and then I read up more on Transformers and it just got cooler and cooler, and eventually, it became my most anticipated summer blockbuster. And it doesn't disappoint. The movie start with a bang and the momentum just carries you through the entire 140 minutes. Michael Bay seemed to know exactly what he was doing. The bots and the battle sequences were all visually stunning and I love the sound effects. It has the right blend of action, drama, humor, along with the subtle romance between the two leads, enough to make the general movie-goers happy and keep the fanboys from freaking out. It is ultimately all about the robots, not the romance. Although Shia was absolutely lovable in his lead role, and Josh was absolutely HOT.

Also, TV fans, check out all the sweet cameos. Las Vegas's Danny McCoy (obviously). Prison Break's Fernando Sucre (oh how I missed his Spanish). Supernatural's Mary Winchester (ever the loving wife and mother). One Tree Hill's Jimmy Edwards (still as geeky).

So yeah, I'm probably gonna go catch it in theaters a second time next week.
