I saw the Favourite finally last Friday and that was one strange and interesting movie! I really had no idea what I was getting into when I went into the cinema, almost like when I went to see the Handmaiden... lol, maybe I should do more research instead of being enamored by the idea of historical/costume dramas and lesbians. :D

But even with all the strangeness and the spoiler spoiler it was all worth it just to see this outfit. That is a cosplay goal for sure! 



Then I caught up with the Magicians last night and omg Eliot!!!! Aaaaah! and Quentin after the mosaic quest was done! Waaah! (but also Margo seemed a bit off in both of the last 2 episodes, what's up with that? I've also forgotten what the horrible thing Alice did was, so I'm kind of confused why they all hate her? She ruined their plan in the maze, I guess? Maybe I just need to rewatch season 3 anyway...)

Also, I'm sorry if you left a comment and I haven't replied... I suck at that right now for some reason. I'll try to catch up this weekend

The trip was pretty nice, apart from the fact that I was sick with a cold the whole time. I'm getting better now, so at least there's that...
It had just snowed the first morning I was there so everything was very pretty. The training course I was there for was nice, the people were all familiar with each other and we had a really nice relaxed atmosphere. I also got to see a friend who lives in Helsinki and we got Philippines food at a restaurant, which I had never tasted before and which was pretty tasty.

I also got to finally see the spiderman animation and I liked it. I've seen and heard people say it's the best superhero movie ever and I would not go that far, but it was really cool and made me want to read Miles Morales Spiderman comics

I saw it on wednesday and I've been thinking about it since, kinda trying to wrap my head around it. I think maybe I should go see it again, because maybe I would like it more the second time, but from one viewing I have to say I didn't like it.

( spoilers )

and it was fun! I definitely didn't get bored while watching it and I enjoyed the story. But then I left the cinema and I was like... Um... Idk, it just seems like all the X-men movies have the same story. Some government body/company/politician etc wants to turn humans against mutants and then there is almost a war and then somehow they fix it, so nothing actually changes.

But anyway, it was pretty shippy, which I liked (I know Erik's actor is a scumbag, (and maybe the director too) but I'm allowed to like the character in the movie, bc I would have if the actor was different!) so now I'll wait for the fic. :D I kind of got bored of the fic after the first one, it got a bit repetitive, but hopefully this will give writers new ideas.

Otherwise I'm in a Star Wars place. :D I downloaded the animated Clone Wars show and I've been playing SWtOR again and I really want to watch the original trilogy again. I should finish re-reading the EU (extended universe) books that I have too.

Oh and it's been really hot here this week, it's super weird and I don't like it! It's not even June yet, this is not how spring should work!

I feel very alone in one part of fandom. I can't stand Veronica/Logan as a ship. I think she can do a million times better and their on/off relationship was my least favourite part of Veronica Mars. So now people are super excited about the show again because of the movie and posting things, which is great! I just hate having to see Logan/Veronica stuff. They're like my 'nope pairing'. So I don't even know if I want to see the freaking movie, because looking from the trailer it's all about Logan ruining Veronica's career and personal life, by making her put it all in jeopardy as she tries to help him. Nononononononono-NO!



Why do people like this pairing? It makes no sense to me at all. Urgh. >_>

Was pretty good. It really didn't stand on its own at all. Especially the ending was really annoying and I think the whole movie theatre where I went felt the same way. But the good bits outweighed the bad and the 3D didn't ruin it for me, so I was happy.

The elves were the best bits for me. I'm always happy to look at those pretty faces. :D Also yay for Legolas. (I was never his biggest fan when the LotR movies came out, but I guess nostalgia got to me here)



Smaug was super awesome. The voice acting was pretty much perfect. You've got to love how Cumberbatch sounds.
(also it gives me hope that if they ever make a Temeraire movie it could be great. They really made the dragon seem like a real character, so they could definitely do that for Temeraire as well)

I have decided that the ship has sailed on me seeing the 1D movie in the cinema... I just can't do it by myself. >_>

I watched the three Mighty Ducks movies yesterday and they were pretty great.  I did not know they were set in Minnesota, that is a funny coincedence, also the random hockey players were hilarious, I can't believe they got Gretzky in one!

In the first two the coach had a way too big of a role for my tastes, after all weren't these kids movies? So why would kids care about some middle aged mans mid-life crisis? Also the main kid character is Peter from Fringe and I will never get over this fact. :D Now I wish there was a fic where Peter gets de-aged to that sulky 14 year old he was in D3. I would laugh forever. :D

I super want a fic where Charlie and Adam Banks meet when they are adults and Adam plays in the NHL and then they fall in love. This is what I want right now.

(I was really sad that they kept making Banks's part smaller and smaller, so he was barely in the third one. *pout* Also the poor actor hasn't done well for himself afterwards. I couldn't even find a photo of what he looks like as a grown up. I also thought the girl goalie looked familiar but I'm not sure. And are girls even allowed to play in the same team with guys at that level? I have no idea...)

Waaah~ why hasn't the hockey season started yet? I'm so frustrated reading about preseason games when I can't watch them. *whines*

Now I'm agonizing with my Yuletide nominations, because I already nominated Goon and I'm not sure if I want to use another slot to Nom the Mighty Ducks movies too...

Hockey fic is now 37,600 words long and because I now know my posting date I've been avoiding writing it, as I have a lot of time all of a sudden... I really should just get this thing done already. At least I made some progress with my emotionally stunted hockey player pov character. Should be all smooth sailing from here on out, right? *nervous laughter* 

I'm weirdly nervous about seeing Star Trek... Also super annoyed that I got spoiled about the thing. Seriously Americans, could you have held your outrage a few more days. It's so true what someone said on tumblr. Americans will complain about spoilers so so loudly if for once they don't get to see something first, but as soon as it's out over there... well you can say goodbye to trying to remain spoiler free. *grumpy*

Speaking of tumblr, I made a screencap post that has 120 notes now. :D Hee~ It's ridiculous how happy that makes me. Well, at least I'm easily amused.

The Supernatural finale was a total letdown for me. I don't know why everyone seemed to like it so much. I really hope next season is the last one. Please let me go show!!! I mean I feel obligated to watch it to the end now... How could I leave it after slogging through eight freaking seasons. >_>

Oh and I got like four hours of sleep last night (because my sleep cycle is fucked up because of the playoffs) and I had to get up at seven, so I could go to an exam at eight. I think I passed it? Maybe? At least I wrote stuff... I really hope I passed, it's five credits and if I didn't pass I'll have to do it again next semester. So anyway, I haven't slept enough (tried to take a nap when I got back from campus but I can't sleep during the day! How does that work?) and now the freaking movie starts at 23.30. If I fall asleep at the cinema, I'll be pissed. Not to mention it's 3D so I have to put on my contacts and who wants to deal with that when my eyes are already tired.

Wow this turned into a whiny post...

Then randomly: I've noticed that I have a really hard time commenting on people's posts if they are about their personal lives. Especially if I don't actually know them. It just seems so awkward. And it's like five times worse if they are going through a tough time. If you know me, you know I'm really bad at emotional support even in person, not to mention trying to do it over the internet. >_<

Ooh, I made a post and didn't talk about hockey!!! Well except now I have to mention that Finland is going to the medal games. :D Just have to beat Sweden somehow and they might be fighting for the gold!!! This is super hilarious because before the tournament started everyone was saying the team was garbage (I think there were originally zero NHL players for example) But you never know, Kontiola might go on a tear and lead the whole tournament in scoring... 

I'm still not sure if this is all too good to be true, but right now things are great. The Wild have a four game win streak going, whee~
Also I found out that Mikko Koivu is going to be a dad. That came out of the blue as I didn't even know he had a girlfriend. Guy sure likes to keep his private life private.

Oh and the Ducks beat the Blackhawks! I was ready to give up on the game during the third period, but I should have known better. The Ducks don't just give up. :D Also Selänne got his 670th goal. Six hundred and seventy! It boggles the mind.


Have I mentioned yet how the NHL websites are hilariously bad and they love puns. A lot... :D



( wild stuff )

And look I have some non hockey things to post as well, it's a miracle!

So I went shopping and I was only supposed to try and find something for my mom and Ayaka... I did buy Ayaka her present but I still got nothing for mom. Instead I got myself the first season for Vampire Diaries (Don't ask me why... I hope it's not terrible.) But at least I resisted the urge to buy all the Harry Potter movies in blu-ray, even though they were cheap (divided by eight movies the price of one would have been 5€)

I was going to go see the Hobbit today but man it costs 13€ in 3D... D= I need to check what the normal version costs and think about it some more.

Anyway talking about movies got me sidetracked, because I also got myself a new scarf! It has the colours of the hockey team in my city and I really wanted it, even though it was expensive. It was extra awesome because it has the same colours as the Hufflepuff house and who can resist that?!

I almost got their new calendar for next year because it was hilariously terrible and so culturally insensitive!!! I don't know who is supposed to want it, do heterosexual guys want these kind of photos on their wall? (if it's for women though, thanks whoever makes fan stuff of thinking about us too... Hockey is not just for guys after all) Even if you don't care about hockey you should see these... xD
