so i got to go to the Mickey Halloween Party at Disneyland yesterday!! 

best day to go EVER. seriously.

because it was pretty much raining all day long. so getting to run around the park in full costume with a wig that's completely spiked up and out while hairspray killing water kept falling out of the sky on it?  was awesome. and i'm only half being sarcastic. xD

the day started out simple enough. i had work in the morning until 1, and after that i headed over to Fluffy and AyaToki's place via the Gold Line (i have now officially gone on every railway system in Los Angeles except the Purple Line, but that's almost the same as the Red Line so screw it xD). i was laughing 'cause their house is literally right by it. but yeah, that part of the day was interesting... i was more or less already in my costume, just so that i'd be saving myself the hassle of completely changing into it when i got to their place. it just needed a few extra things, like the wig and the bandages and the tattoo/scar combo on the right arm. AyaToki got changed into Russel Tringham America, Fluffy DID NOTHING, and then we were off!

we're almost certain that people going down the freeway near us were staring at the BRIGHT BLUE HAIR on my head. but WHATEVER GUYS. MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE.

and yeah, the weather at this point? while i was at work, it had been raining a little bit, off and on. it stopped raining by the time i was off, and then when i got to the sisters' place it was SO SUNNY AND WARM. we were all like "wtf, this weather." and then as we were driving down the freeway things went from sunny... to cloudy... to drizzling. by the time we got to Disneyland, it was sprinkling. we had to wait for Jen and Bruce at the trams, so we did. got sprinkled on some more in the meantime. and i actually got recognized!! the chick mixed the name up at first and was all "DEATH STAR!" at me. apparently i'm the Death Star. :3 that's kind of cool.

so Jen shows up in her Hungary cosplay (she's so adorable in it!) and then we board the tram. and literally, 15 seconds after we get on the tram? it starts POURING. and our contingency plan for rain wasn't... so good... mine was to just mostly get wet. ^_^;; I HAD AN UMBRELLA but yeah.

first thing we do when we get into the park was go running into the nearest indoor place, which was the Abe Lincoln thing. which was actually kinda cool for a number of reasons: 1) it was dry there. 2) America got to take some nice patriotic pictures. 3) Hungary got to take some pretty pictures. and we were apparently waiting for more people to join us in the park anyway, so we thought that'd be a good place to do it. i hung around and watched the 50 Years of Magic video that had been in that theater, and while i was standing there watching, this old guy walked by, staring at my hair, and went "that's beautiful." i... didn't really know what to do so i just laughed and thanked him. funny old man. :3

so once more people arrived (one carrying $700 worth of photography gear-- which was pretty damn awesome in its own way) we set out again. and this time the rain had lessened significantly. we trusted it enough to forego the umbrellas for a bit, anyway. and this is where ADVENTURE BEGAN.

we were there at 3, and the Halloween party stuff didn't start until 6, so we had time to just. run around Disneyland in costume. so naturally, we hit up as many rides as we could. Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion... we started the ride hopping late, so by the time we got out of Haunted Mansion some of the Halloween stuff was set up...

... i feel like this story needs pictures. i shall wait until i get them to tell the rest. xP

I'M SO EXCITED

 edit// i have no idea what video was supposed to be embedded here.
... oh well. xD;;
hikaranko: (dazzle me bb)
d... damn you, LucasArts. and damn you TellTale Games. damn you for resurrecting the point-and-click game love of my life in such a wonderful and beautifully rendered fashion that i cannot for the life of me turn away.

four words, ladies and gentlemen: Tales of Monkey Island.

... no wait- i lied. there are some more words: Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition.

*shakes fist* my gaming love. my adventure gaming love! how my heart throbs when i play it! how my funny bone is endlessly tickled! how my ears love to drink of the epic talent that is the cast of Monkey Island! how my wallet yearns to empty itself and succumb to your effervescent glory forever more, to the dark murky depths of the ocean and back again!


that said. I'M OFF TO PLAY IT SOME MORE. LATER. >3



but first! something completely different:

soooooo... i came up with this idea. i decided to make this, like, guide thing for if you wanna introduce Fullmetal Alchemist to somebody, and they're lazy to read the manga. since the storyline for the manga/Brotherhood is better overall than the original anime, that's the one you oughta show. but since the beginning of Brotherhood is so rushed because the original anime already covered it... well, this oughta be the way to do it.

try to show the episodes in this order... )

... yeah, i'm weird. v_v;; i wanted to do that. part of me even wants to go so far as to edit all this video footage together, MERGE IT ALL INTO ONE, but... yeah, lazy. and- that's so time consuming. D:

I... CANNOT... STOP... WATCHING... NEW FMA EPISODES...

SO PRETTY... * 3*

i- i got so impatient, i watched the newest one without subtitles. kinda makes me glad that i've studied japanese for 5 years and practically have the entire manga memorized. >__>

there were like. moments of "awww, they're not gonna show that?!" and "whut, that's a little different" and "whut, really?? o.o??" but- OVERALL. I AM PLEASED, FMA BROTHERHOOD NEW ANIME THING. and omg, i was so right to assume that episode 1 could be considered as 'what happened before they went to Lior' because, GUESS WHAT EPISODE 3'S GONNA BE GAIZ. 83

..okay- shutting up now.


... WHY CAN'T I QUIT YOU, FMA?! WHYYYYY??
