Back to Nerdliness!

Okay, after my procrastinative blog yesterday, let's think about what random nerdliness I've gotten myself into.

I keep trying to finish the Tower of Druaga but I watch the next episode and I've forgotten what's happened in the previous episodes and it's just really not making a lasting impression on me. I know my friend is in total love with the show, but I don't see it. Not yet. Maybe the ending is epic or something. We'll see. I've got 4 or 5 to go.

 What else... I watched the newest movie remake of The Portrait of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde simply called 'Dorian Grey.' It was definitely interesting I guess. I haven't read the novel yet but it's been on my to-read list since we read its prologue in my Modern Literature class. So much Walter Pater [in both] it was fabulous. Don't get it? Look it up. But yeah, Ben Barnes just isn't attractive to me. Not like ShadyVox. HAHA. Yeah. It was okay. Colin Firth was lovely to see. As always.

 Also, I've been keeping up with the Crunchyroll shows Kore wa Zomie desu ka and Level E. Both equally but uniquely entertaining. Zombie at times has far too much fanservice and creepy pedo moments, but any boy going through a Magical Girl Transformation is good with me. And the stronger he gets, the cuter is Magical Girl outfit becomes. Totally worth the ridiculously huge boobs on random characters. Level E, on the other hand, always seems to end in a completely different direction than it started and not in an irritating WTF kind of way. I didn't watch any CR shows last season and I'm glad I picked these two up. Definitely worth watching. [Even if Level E's subtitles are horrendous and ugly.]

...Still watching Doctor Who. Finally made it to season 3. And as I read the episode descriptions, the only one I haven't seen is the first one where the Doctor actually meets Martha. But when I stop to think about, the episodes with Martha don't stand out to me at all. I don't understand Bryan's sheer hatred of Rose. Her ending make me tear up and cry a bit. It was sad, albeit confusing at times. I mean, Rose wasn't totally Dawn-from-Buffy helpless, but was very good at it. She was an amazing Bad Wolf and I love her snark [not as much as Donna, but Rose gets second place... no wait Amy gets second, so Rose gets third]. I don't know when I'll get back to the Doctor or even Captain Jack for that matter, since school work and the podcast are going to take up so much of my time, but I'll update when I can. It makes me sad that I know who dies on Torchwood. At least I don't know how it happens or when. But still. Sigh.

...I can't think of anything else. I'm actually at work so I can't glance around my room and see what new stuff I've seen or obtained. So... until then. Cheerio.

It's like a kick in the nuts!

New favorite thing: Whachow, podcast by Psyguy, Liz, ShadyVox, and a whole bunch of other people. They're disorganized and nerdy and weird and awesome and hilarious and you should check it out. So do it, do it do it do it do it do it: WHA-CHOW! It's seriously so fun and ShadyVox, who you can follow on Twitter [like I do] is a hottie from the UK who I would bang into next week if I could. Okay, well, maybe not [yes I would] but he is super talented with voice acting, and it just really helps that he's a hott-ass Brit. For example he does Jaden from Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series and various Sonic things and stuff. LOVE. But yeah. STAT SCREEN.

What else is going on... my friend Bryan and I are gonna do a podcast! So far the working title is Inspired By and it's going to [hopefully] awesome. No idea what our first episode is going to be but it's basically going to be the Bryan and Chelly Fangirl Hour, talking about things we love that have more than one adaptation, like book and movie, or movie and video game, or book, movie, video game, comic whatever. It should be pretty awesome since Bryan can talk for hours about stuff and I can get him back on track. Eventually we'll have guests but for right now we're trying to figure things out for ourselves. I'll keep y'all updated.

Yeah I'm blogging this so I can not do my homework. Being a student is hard. I'll come back with more nerdly stuff later. Byeeeee
