healthy again ♡~
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pengiesama, just got your card yesterday. Stumbled around getting things done after braving the flu all week, and it was such a bright spot in the afternoon!! Shouroku hi five, you always draw such specified and special arts for me orz Finally changed my my Twitter scheme. Am I the only one who obsesses about these? I try out 10 backgrounds and color palettes a week, usually hating them all. My profile icon changes pretty much every day, too;;; MEMES: ♣ Anon meme still open. ♣ My new year's resolutions are to get less fat and also to learn how to write. ♣ I want to get around to that LJ FRIENDS meme that milkfed posted, but for now there's this: recommendationpost
Recommend a book, a song, a TV anime, a movie!

reviews of new food: taco nachos
For McSweeney's. * On road trips, I am a self-designated dietitian. "Get some pretzels at the Circle K," I suggest when our stomachs start rumbling. "We can eat dinner once we get to the hotel." I munch my own pretzels half-heartedly, checking that their sodium content is within our daily values. Yet the democratic consensus is Jack in the Box. As we cruise past the drive-thru menu, I aim to exercise the fifth even as my pretzels grow a little more flavorless. My eyes idly scan the pictoral pantheon of microwave Americana, each burger combo lustily coated with grease. In the bottom-right, a single line catches me off guard. I find myself abruptly frozen in a moment of zen. Can it be? Two foods, perfect in themselves, lexically conjoined to create a superfood. Though I gasp in reverent disbelief, my chord is struck. I am affected on a personal level, as if this enlightened formula were derived for me alone, even while it makes perfect sense as the product of some desire of the collective unconscious. Could this be the new peanut-butter and jelly, the new Romeo and Juliet? I blink. My bourgeois boycott goes right out the rolled-down window. The shape it takes is, "Taco Nachos, please!" The menu displays no photo. The alchemical result of tacos and nachos sublimely combined is left to the individual imagination, as if daring each of us, as humans, as people, to envision something so tremendous. Two dollars seems like a trifle, almost suspicious in its frugality. My car-mates watch with interest as I unwrap the answer like a gift. Jack In the Box Taco Nachos resemble a tray of vomit, the prodigious kind produced after a solid night out. Their bed of lettuce is rumpled, their grease stains the gray of a smoggy morning, their spill of easy-cheese congealed and chill to the touch. I use my plastic fork to have a bite, but my spirit is broken. I can not bear the sight any longer. In my mind's eye I construct an escapist recipe, a dream of crispy shells fat with refried beans and carne asada, sleeping under a warm blanket of cheddar-jack. I take the experience as a sign; it is like Newton's apple, like the proverbial butterfly beating its wings. At home, I can take this into my own hands. I can set this right. For me. For us all. If Jack In the Box offered a Burrito Cake, I would totally try that too. |

uuuuuuuuung
My back hurts from sleeping on a mattress softer than a wood plank (big issue for me;;;), but I am back home and ready to ravish all the work I've been putting off for uh a month? A MONTH. As soon as I finish reading this Gentlemen of the Road fic *___* Oh I forgots: ✩ icons @ ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) houndstooth:✩ Paper Moon
✩ Au Revoir les Enfants
✩ Summer Wars
✩ Tokikake
✩ Kuuchuu Buranko I love Au Revoir les Enfants all the more every time I watch it. Such a genuine, mature and practically flawless film... I don't know how else to describe it. I also appreciate it on a crass shota-classic level, but don't we all. On the screen capture rewatch I realized Jean says he is from Marseilles because he has been reading Dumas. Unnnn so much to unpack in every scene. But I don't like to watch to the end /weeps |

sherlock holmes movie
Not so much an adaptation of a Victorian classic as a pure Guy Ritchie film. Bare-knuckle brawling. Explosions. As such, the actual homoeroticism was of a more subtextual quality than the top-billed bromance, which was charming but very perfunctory as far as mainstream dude relations go. Holmes and Watson might from time to time end up (accidentally) in one-another's arms, but that's all dispelled next scene when someone is getting a randy for All Around Perfect Wife or Manic Pixie Dream Girl (not Zooey Deschanel for once, but the other one). In this version the two of them are roommate best bros, not the colleagues of literature, but Guy Ritchie certainly knows how to capture bro mechanics: they share clothing. They ask one-another where this or that can be found around the house. They bicker companionably. They joke about gay overtones and touch and it's kinda touching, for all that a loud movie like this would dip into character growth or genuine emotion. Robert Downey always seems to achieve pitch-perfect chemistry with male costars, anyway, and I hope to get more of that in the guaranteed sequel. I would be pretty stoked to see more movies set in this universe, which isn't so much Holmesian, god-is-in-the-details mystery but straight filibuster adventure. It's fun and looks very attractive, with expensive costume design and photography run through some fine-ass blue and yellow filters. I am glad, too, that Hollywood still remembers how to make a good adventure movie in the vein of the Indiana Jones trilogy. This one could have been streamlined by cutting one of the less important set pieces, but the overall camp and quip levels are on par with even Doyle's penny-piece original. It is perhaps a little disappointing that mainstream buddy movies insist on doing the homo stuff for laughs, but this isn't the sort of film that would perpetrate anything as stimulus for thought. And I certainly wouldn't expect it to. |
