Alexandra Leaving

I have finally caught up on Battlestar Galactica episodes yesterday. OMPH! How little I need to love this show to bits again! Lee and his awesome purple-maroon shirt? And many other good developments that involve Lee, Lee Lee! Isn't it all coming along a very great way this season?

I made more icons of Lee because my heart is full. They are free to share, please let me know if you need any text added or removed.

Oh, BSG! So far I am bored out of my wits with the different religions/mystical paths/whatever storylines in this season of BSG. Usually incorporation of different religious themes, parallels and metaphors and any discussions about these matters will make me watch almost anything. This is one of my favourite things in fiction. And it is great to see it well-done, as in "Matrix". But what are you doing to me, BSG! You are boring me senseless with my favourite elements! ** sigh **

PS: Please bring more Lee. Lee-less episode, even with Leoben and newly attractive Helo and Anders in it, is not a good episode.

First of all - happy birthday to savepureness and maddeinin. I hope that the next year will be happy and full of good things for both of you!!!

All you have been posting incessantly about Battlestar Galactica and making me want to watch it again. I was a little apprehensive as the show and I had parted on not-happy terms, but after queenofthorns stopped posting about anything else but BSG I caved in. I am so glad I did. I completely forgot how much I love this show. I love:

- Lee! And his path that will lead him to be a president that finally leads everyone to Earth.
- And Kara! And them together! And her special destiny of finding Earth!
- I love Tigh ! And he is a cylon! What a surprise!
- I love Leoben! But I am still Lee/Kara until the end of times.
- I even love Anders! Because he is a cylon too (and how did this happen?).
- I love scruffy and aging Adama!

- But please, take away annoying Baltar.

Let me tell you about my love with icons from the episodes 4.01 and 4.02 ("He That Believeth in Me" and "Six of One") . The icons preview:

A test that made me happy

I have completed the "blunt personality test" (taken from lage_nom_ai, Here) with the very surprising results.! I am "Almost perfect", and from the more serious explanation of the test, I am "Idealist" (Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving). "Thoughtful and considerate", "Intuitive about people", "Do not like to conflict", "Flexible and laid-back", "Perfectionists with high standards". :D

Battlestar Galactica
I am still in a day-dream state after "Unfinished Business" episode, you know, when you are thinking about someting dosing off to sleep three days in a row?

House
After conversation with umeedmerchant I have started watching second season of "House". Hugh Laurie is as entertaining as ever, and I am so much drawn to articulate sharp genius type in RL as well as in Fantasy Life. I can just stare at the screen for hours and listen to Dr. House’s snarky remarks. Also I absolutely unexpectedly like Dr. Chase very much this season too. And my dearest likes "House"; this is an additional plus!!!

Love Contract
I am plodding through this Taiwanese drama, but I am getting increasingly frustrated with the pointlessness and un-interestedness of almost all of the secondary characters. And there seems to be much of the screen time devoted to them. Some scenes I think are meant to be funny or evoke a feeling, but I just don’t seem to get any flicker of it. Even more, many "funny" scenes are plain disgusting in a manner of some teenage comedies. (I apologise very much to anyone who does like teenage comedies, but I am so well passed that stage in life that it seems that I want to wash my eyeballs after seeing even some of the trailers, this is just me!).

"Love and Honor" (Bushi ni Ichibun); Takuya Kimura
I am still so happy about the fact that as catdecember posted (Here), "Love and Honor" (Bushi ni Ichibun) beat "Casino Royale" on the first weekend gross in Tokyo. (It doesn’t mean I don’t like “Casino Royale”, am just happy for "Love and Honour")

I have huge expectations for "Bushi ni Ichibun", directed by Yôji Yamada. I have seen one of his films, "Twilight Samurai", beautiful and unusual romance with the most gentle, philosophical and heroic male protagonist. I hope for something similar (and with inimitable Takuya Kimura as additional plus)

To celebrate this, I posted some pictures of Takuya in dorama_chat

This is a preview (Especially for koalathebear :D ):





Good weekend, everyone!!!

Kamenashi Kazuya/KAT-TUN/Yamapi/ Nobuta wo Produce/ Kurosagi
Fabulous winterspel made a great post promoting music clips of Japanese singer/actor Kamenashi Kazuya and Japanese boy band "KAT-TUN". I have been listening to these clips on and off and I am pleasantly surprised. The standard of music and voices is quite high. The standard of dancing is even higher, in fact, it is probably one of the best of what I have seen so far anywhere . Saying all this, I was never especially keen on pop music so I can safely say that I probably will never turn into crazy "KAT-TUN" fan girl. But much, much thanks to winterspel, it is very interesting culturally to get to know more about Asian entertainment.

And yes, I have almost forgotten, – I liked Yamashita Tomohisa the best in the video clips. To celebrate this, I am watching "Nobuta wo Produce" and "Kurosagi" at the same time. I love love love quirky and clever and crazy "Nobuta wo Produce" to bits (and more about this later) and I liked the first episode of "Kurosagi" very much too. I am not sure about the quality of the script and the swindling story was somehow very naïve, but the presence of Yamapi compensates for script’s pitfalls in spades.

Films: The truth about cats and dogs
EEEEEEEE! This is such a fabulous film. I don’t have much time left and have to rush home, but - OMPH! Clever articulate girls rule! Dogs and cats rule! Female friendship rules!! Usually female friendship is shown as weakish and falling under the blows of stronger attachments, but not in this film! I just want to hug the writer for this.

I was thinking a lot today and yesterday and decided to make clear my own position on some things, mainly because at some point I did join with the fandom crowd in laughing (only indirectly and nobody probably knew, but I still did) in the latest Fandom Scandal:

Even if I find somebody’s position and actions wrong I really really dislike bad talking and mocking behind this person’s back. Even if this first person is wrong. I dislike it much more then first person’s wrong actions and positions. I am more then fine with disagreements and even arguments, and even if people say not only nice things to each other.. But mocking the others not in their presence – IS WRONG in my book..

Because of it I do apologise for having an un-intentional laugh to the person involved in the latest Fandom Scandal.

(And it is definitely JUST ME!!!!!)

I con’t stop making “Battlestar Galactica” icons! Sometimes (quite often ;) it feels like Starbuck and Apollo are real people..

Thank you gender, natangel, noctuidae for gradients/textures

Yesterday watched Hornblower "The Duchess and the devil". Jamie Bamber is a cute puppy there. Wow, what a way from that cute stage to the sex god he is now.

Watched "Final cut" again.

Need to find something with Katee Sackhoff in it. She is an amazing actress.

Does anybody know anything good with Katee in it? And anything with Jamie apart from "Hornblower"?
