My parents did not have POTC3, and therefore do not love me.

But they did get me thin crust pizza and chocolate chip cookie pizza(which is really thing pizza crust with cookie dough and chocolate chips cooked on top and then drizzle frosting over it after it's cooked.)  As there are NO WORDS for my love of both(the only pizza I love morethan thin crust chicken is thin crust chicken and bacon) I suppose they do love me.  But still, as they saved about $60-$75 on lunch on Sunday due to my intense and searing pain, you'd think they could spring for POTC3(if I hadn't, you know, asked for it for Christmas already...)

I did stop and use up my Borders giftcard, though.  Got vol 1 of the Pumpkin Scissors manga and 4 and 6 of Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.  They didn't have vol 5 but I plan to order from Amazon soon anyway.

I also learned that there's already a Bourne Trilogy set out.  Seriously?  I figured there wouldn't be one for a few months yet.  If I'd known, I would have asked for it to Christmas.  Instead I shall buy it from Amazon.

Also, I have determined that if Jason Bourne ever met Kambei from Samurai Seven, he'd come out of it sounding like this:


(ETA:  When the girl in Samurai Seven tries to confess her love to Kambei, he cuts her off and tells her that his heart is dead and withered, and she should save her water/love for someone else.)

I will now either start watching Stargate SG-1 S6, or post Bride of the Water God scans so I can mock the extreme fanservice.  Reboot shall decide.

Let me know how Pumpkin Scissors works as a manga. I could use another book to read while FMA and Hikaru are coming so slowly.

I am not allowed to start reading any new series until next year, or unless I catch up with everything. It is theoretically incentive to help get the backlog cleared out.

First, your subject line is awesome.

Second, this post has inspired me to both read the books and watch the movies. I saw the first (uncomfortable the whole time because I hadn't read the series) and thought it was okay. Didn't pursue the rest of the series.

But wasn't Bourne with chick from Run, Lola, Run at the end of the first? Why would he express himself as having a dead and withered heart? Unless that's spoileriffic, and if it's al kinds of true I might be interested in watching/reading them after all.

It is:

A) extremely, extremely spoilerific

and

B) So amazingly true that it's practically legendary.

Matt Damon angsts extremely well.

I'm positive they killed puppies in front of him every day while filming Bourne Ultimatum to make sure there was no chance of his ever looking happy.

You've intrigued me. Perhaps after my Golden Globe preparation (two not-easy books and 30 movies before January 13; luckily I have a week off from my day job) I shall indulge with some Bourne.

It's been a while since I've read some good action, and it's always hilarious to read old school spy novels with a split Germany and the U.S.S.R.

Now I want an icon of angsty Zuko with that quote. You've seen the one of Sasuke with the text "My soul is like a black, black rose, and darkness o'erhangs me like a hat," right/

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I think I can provide said Zuko icon(I have, like, 5-6 emo Zuko icons as it is...)

Yes, I have seen that icon...I let out a little squee of joy everytime I see it(ah, if only Naruto himself didn't annoy me so much...)

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Oh would you? That would be fantastic!

I anticipated your request and posted a very, very simple one about 15 minutes ago. I can make something more complicated or use a different cap is you want(though Y'oull have to find me a cap...)
