living underwater

Hello, everyone!

You have reached the rambling, the fangirling, and the general chill-pad of theOtaku's NightBeck, a.k.a Becky, a.k.a Crimson Lotus the Irish Ninja.

... okay, maybe not the last one. But people will be calling me that one day.

This is your place to chill, talk about life and fandom, and be generally crazy. So go on. Play nice, be good to each other, don't make me hurt you.

My favorite series: Princess Tutu, Ookiku Furikabutte, Mushishi, xxxHOLiC, Monster, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Escaflowne, and Baccano!

I am a superhero.

I am somehow still alive after working on two huge projects all weekend, not getting to sleep until 2:00, then getting up at 6:00 to ride to school in peak Tokyo Monday morning traffic to print about 60 pages of stuff in the computer lab. And then...

Hey y'all - sorry for the extensive radio silence. Various things happened, and I'll explain later, but it's all okay now. Kinda. Anyway, tell me what you've been up to?

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. I downloaded an illegal copy of Star Trek and finally got to watch it.

I think I basically spent the whole movie going "EEHEEHEEHEEEEEEE!"

And I grew up on TNG and Picard and all that and haven't actually seen that much of the original series but still! I am a sucker for a good popcorn movie and this was totally and completely fun. Also, ashfjskss Karl Urban as McCoy is my favorite thing ever. Although I was also flipping out over John Cho's Sulu and his fencing. And omg Simon Pegg cracked me up so badly. And eeeeee just so much ridiculous geek love.

And then I finished the movie and saw this trailer for the Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes movie, which literally had me flailing and screaming, despite the fact that it's midnight here and my host parents are probably like "WHY IS SHE SO WEIRD."

I feel happy. :D
