Here’s to Nostalgia and Impromptu Babbling- What now?

Uhh first post of 2017?…In July?

But dang, everytime I post something, there’s a new post editing format I have to deal with xD

Suppose that’s what happens when I get busy with Uni and don’t necessarily feel the need to document everything on here as I once did. Which kind of stinks, but this is such FUN to read through- which is what I was doing after a discussion on dream journals with Rock last night. And now I feel like I want to type out something, anything :3

Which is what this is I suppose. I might as well address what I want to do with this space at this point.

Like I mentioned, I don’t really document or catalog as much on here as I used to. I might still put some anime reactions when I feel the urge to. It’s easy being able to spew my anime ramblings on here and it’s fun putting all those googled pictures up to go with them~ Hmm, but besides that, I don’t know if I’ll really put stories up as much. I’d like to. I might, but they won’t be posted as close to “in real time” like I tried to back when I updated my life happenings years ago. I think that’ll do for now. Oh, and I might put some book discussions and reviews up too. Yup, that’s a swell idea. I like it.

And that’s all this is, for now I guess. 2017 here we come? 😛

Detective Conan ep 704: The Steam Train Murder Case with *Real Plot*

Ramblings and a means to jot down the SUDDEN SHIT LOAD OF PLOT THAT SUDDENLY HAPPENED OH MY GOSH

But first, WHAT THE HOLY HELL I’m in the 700s!! How have I come this far in DC and HOW are there less than 200 episodes until I’m caught up?! I know I said at some point I’d catch up, but but it was supposed to be some point!! I wasn’t expecting to ACTUALLY get there so soon!

I have however been distracting myself with the movies a bit and trying to obsess over other tv shows but but I fell back into it today

AND THE AMOUNT OF REAL PLOT I GOT WOW

[Spoiler Alert!]

So ever since Bourbon was introduced as the mysterious aide to Vermouth, I was convinced it was Subaru-san untiiiiil I realised that that’s far too obvious. The show was obviously trying to lead the audience to that conclusion. So they’d have to plot twist it, and he’s actually a good guy. Some kind of good guy. I hadn’t figured out what they’d do with him since they’d already had Jodie-sensei go from suspicious foreigner to FBI agent good guy. And they also had Akai-san go from actual CIA agent to undercover Organisation member and back to CIA agent and….dead. So what was left?

I wasn’t sure, but Subaru was definitely not a villain. So who was then? In all the ops recently (op 35-36) they’ve been playing up Sera, Subaru, and Amuro as the three suspects to Bourbon. It isn’t Subaru. It also isn’t Sera- she’s way too much of a main good guy character to be evil- plus her eyes. She’s definitely Akai’s sister or some such relative. AND THAT LEAVES US WITH ONE BLONDIE TO DEAL WITH.

Which is why Amuro-kun, Mr. Let-me-be-your-apprentice-even-though-I’m-such-a-great-detect0ve-already-Sleeping-Tantei-san~, is our Bourbon.

This mystery on the train revealed just that- but wait, there’s more! Like the whole good guy bit with Subaru-san. I think they just lead us, the audience, to suspect that he’s actually Akai-san. IF THAT’S TRUE I’LL BE SO HAPPY. It’ll mean he’s not dead after all ❤

And then we can watch Sera beat up her beloved brother so lovingly for putting her through such shit ❤ Yay yay~

Then there’s also some tiny details that deserve to be acknowleged along with Shiinchi’s master plan to trick the organisation that he pulled off to save Haibara.

First of all, the whole bit about how Vermouth hadn’t revealed to the rest of the org that Sherry/Shiho and Shiinchi had shrunk to their kid forms. Which makes sense, sort of,.but also makes me feel like that causes inconsistencies at some points in the show…I don’t know if I’m just being paranoid and don’t have enough faith in the show to have successfully carried that fact out throughout 700+ episodes, but it also seems to put some near-death encounters with the org into suspicion, but I can’t think of any specific instances. It’s just a gut feeling I have. Oh well.

Secondly, let’s look at the fact that KAITO KID WAS THE SPECIAL STARRING GUEST HECK YES. Although they pulled it off faaaabulously, I’m still a little miffed that they didn’t give the poor guy some more actual Kaito Kid magic screentime with his normal personality 😛 That’d be wonderful~ But having him help in trouncing the organisation is also a total win! 😀

Huwowowowowow this was a good bunch of episodes to watch. I kind of want to get back into DC now, but I don’t have the luxary of hundreds of episodes anymore, so it’s probably time for a break ^_^;

Ah, time to skype my Sharinga polar bear :3

Shuumatsu no Izetta: Episode 8 Train of Thought

Firstly, this anime has SUCH an interesting plot to it, and actually touches on how tragic it could be. Simply put, it’s how World War II would pan out if there were somehow a witch thrown into the mix that was willing to help defend and protect one country. For a proper plot summary, read more about it here cuz this post is gonna be me rambling on about the most recent episode I just saw not five minutes ago okay bye.

[Spoiler Alert]

THIS EPISOOOOODE- Oh my gosh

So this guys:

Ricelt, was like my favourite character besides Bianca. And for some bizarre reason, he decided to meet up with the stupid Germanian spy that got the POOR IZETTA FANBOY SOLDIER KILLED UGH in Elystadt (I most likely spelled that wrong. Scratch that- I did spell it wrong until I had to check.) AND THEN AND THEN they have him meet Bianca and Lotte-chan and he starts to become their friend and instantly he and Bianca become a ship for me. But then they have to go and give him a tragic ending EVEN THOUGH this episode was going sooooo well until that ending old castle raid mission. I had such hope for him meeting the “good guys” and sympathizing, which they totally tricked us with cuz he did meeting the people of this country, but but I wanted him to stay “evil”/on his country’s side and HE DID, but the whole situation they put him in was just the worst and and and-

I don’t knooooow. WHY’D HE HAVE TO DIE.

Stop killing characters I like please.

OH MY GOSH DON’T YOU DARE KILL BIANCA TT^TT

Siiiigh that’s all I have the energy to type out. Now to go watch some other anime and try to mourn his loss later.

Ze Wedding Present of Mr. & Mrs. Crayon

I started typing out a post all about Kiran’s wedding, I swear, but so much happened that night that it’s still not up ^_^;

Just like I’ve been busy since her wedding, I’d been super busy before it too with work and all. So I never managed to make her half trolling half cute wedding gift- until now :3

Now, for some context: Kiran had been dubbed Turquoise Crayon before I met her by the wonderful Pharoh Ayah, but everyone in our gang called her that and new it was her official nickname. So when Queenie got engaged, there was a heated debate as to what Mr. Kiran was going to be called. Would he be an Orange Crayon? A green one? A purple one??

Finally, we agreed that he shall henceforth be known as Mr. Purple Crayon.

Which is why I thought to craft this little giftie :3

I started on it Thursday, and I finished it up today~ I’m pretty happy with it, even though I didn’t like it for a while during the actual crafting project. Oh the struggles of creating art 😛

I gathered supplies when I went to get new notebooks for school- and also got a damn golden glue gun because I’m fab like that~

I knew I’d glue a purple crayon and a turquoise crayon to the front of a picture frame with a house in the back and stuff, but once I started the project I decided to give Adil a tie and then I wanted to put Queenie in a wedding dress- so this happened xD

I like the amount of sunshine in this, so excuse how it’s just a random snap 😛

She’s going to laugh so much seeing this xD And she might hate me too, but it’s okay~ If she decides to get revenge on my wedding- which she definitely will- I can’t wait to see what she comes up with ;D

Nothing says congrats on getting married like personified crayons after all ❤

Orange (Anime) Update: Ep 8 (and Optimism about Shokugeki no Souma 2)

[Spoiler Alert]

It was bad enough they gave poor Suwa a letter, but now they’re lame enough to have EVERY PERSON IN THEIR GROUP get one too?! Are you bloody kidding me?!! It was impossible enough that the stupidest girl in the group somehow accomplished time travel to send a letter back in time, but now they did it three more times (in addition to Suwa)?!! UGH this show is just- I don’t even know On the other hand, it’s still alright ish.

Let’s also ignore how Kakeru is stupid enough to think that by somehow NOT dating Naho, he’s making it impossible for himself to hurt her. Uhhh that’s not how it works “Have fun without hurting her feelings”. What, you think by acting like a couple and yet not being one is somehow going to stop her from feeling pain if you are stupid enough to get roped into some more of that first gf of yours’ drama? Geeeez.

So uh yeah. However, Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara is going brilliantly ❤ The only slight issue I have with that was Takumi’s loss against stupid gangster imitator thug >.> But they did have him kinda make up for it by handing his mezzaluna to Souma until he can win it back was super cool ❤ And funny when Souma went, “See, true chef’s are total sore losers” xD

MovieReview (but not really): Suicide Squad

After a lot of rescheduling, Zahra and I finally went to watch this movie as late as today xD

It was pretty good for a chill person that just wanted to watch a super hero movie. In all honesty, it was pretty true to what most people said about it- how it was a disappointment. I mean, The Joker didn’t get anyyyy screen time. He also wasn’t the REAL Joker to me cuz he was so in love with Harley Quinn and that is NOT what the real Joker was. Otherwise, Harley Quinn was surprisingly my favourite character. She was funny and totally crazy. She was amusing.

HOWEVER, WILL SMITH THOUGH. Like, I don’t at all know anything about this Deadshot character, but damn, the movie totally was focused more on him than any other character. Including the Enchantress. I feel like they could’ve done more with the conflict and developed it more, but naaah.

Again, it’s not a bad movie, but it totally isn’t a good super hero one either. It’s worth a watch if you’re okay with treating these characters as not the real Joker etc., but otherwise, it’s not worth a second watch. Meh.

Zahra and I had fun though, so all’s good :3

BU MSA hosted Pool Party

Last I went swimming was the amaaaazing all night ICNY girls sports complex facility thing in what was it the beginning of Summer? The Spring break?? Something like that. It was bloody brilliant. I realized how much I missed swimming and had been thinking and plotting how to get away with swimming at uni once my schedule allowed for it.

Well, after today’s pool party, my mind was made up to get to it- secretly of course, but to do it nonetheless.

I’d bought a new costume for this, (and for my secret swimming on campus shhh) and I got really excited when even the fb event page encouraged people to wear their costumes cuz there were absolutely no guys and it was perfectly private.

It was damn awesome. Hiba’s house was beauuutiful mA, and the pool was amazing for one in her backyard. It wasn’t a swimming pool with lanes or anything like that, but I wasn’t expecting that at all. (One can dream though ❤ ) It was an irregular shape, but it was 10 ft deep throughout the entiiiire pool *O* (minus this tiny shallow area where there were the steps leading into the pool) I even got to cannon ball into it- it was brilliant ❤

I swam most of the two hours I was there and had an absolute blast, even though I went with Hadia and didn’t know anyone there. It was still fun ^_^

…Now to go finish my chlorine soaked laundry and to plot sneaking my costume to campus when I go xD

DC Rant & Update: The Never Ending Episode (490)

[DC stands for Detective Conan.]
[Spoiler Alert!]

I started The Never Ending Episode yesterday, and it just continued on and on in parts for what seemed like ever. It had FOURTEEN parts total. Each a full 24 minute episode. At least this crazy long episode was about The Black Organization otherwise I don’t even know if I’d have the will power to watch all of it. I know I definitely wouldn’t if it were about he Shounen Detective Boys- ugh.

ANYWAYS I just finished it and this is a small rant about how THEY BLOODY KILLED AKAI-KUN! No, that’s NOT okay. I don’t care if Vermouth said they don’t need two silver bullets- THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU CAN KILL THE ONE THAT’S BEEN OUTSMARTING YOU FOR LONGER UGH. Stupid biker idiot.

I am personally really annoyed by this and I just WISH against all hope that Akai-kun survived. That he somehow outsmarted those idiots one more time. But I know he didn’t TRY to for the sake of that idiot Mizunashi Rena. She’s the worst double/triple agent of all time! Her stupid father’s mission takes precedence too- like what the hell. Just go around killing all your actual allies for the sake of your dead father’s mission, sure, why not >.>

I am genuinely very annoyed with this death. Like no. Conan better make them pay. I want that jerk Rena to die too, somehow, in the crossfire or anything. I just very much disliked her before and now, girl better run if she ever sees me .-.

Well, on the bright side, I’ve now seen over 500 episodes of this show ❤ And I still love it, even if they killed one of my favourite characters. They better keep those Black Sunglasses wearing weirdos away from Kaito Kid and Hattori now >.>

Anyhoo, my littlest sister just invited me to go play at the park with her, so I gotta change out of my pajamas :3

(This way to the Mad Hatter’s) Tea Party!

Asma’s been wanting to have a tea party for the longest time where we just taste a buuunch of different types of tea. And no, this sadly was not a Mad Hatter tea party because it’s Asma But although there weren’t any major references tied to this, Asma did wear her Iroh quote (of “Sick of tea? But that’s like being sick of breathing!”) necklace AND did serve jasmine green tea.

Even though I wanted to dress all girly because it’s a tea party, the crop top I bought to wear over my maxi dress was the wrong size so I ended up wearing a pretty cute casual outfit instead, and it was kinda funny seeing how NO ONE knew what the dress code was xD Zahra wore sweats and a ratty old tee, Mesha was dressed ultra formal in a proper dress that would work for a wedding, Haniya was also dressed casual for her which meant a dress, Asma wore a dress, Musfirah wore fancy fancy shalwar kameez, Ambereen was casual in jeans, and then there was Hadia…She wore her Eid shirt WITH PAJAMA BOTTOMS -____- This child is clearly confused.

Anyways, it was fun tasting the tea because as we all know, I’m not a chai drinker 😛 I of course gulped down a cup of piping hot Kashmiri chai (clap clap) because it’s just THE BEST OF CHAI and then tried other stuff. I thought I liked the Iroh Jasmine tea, but by the middle of the first cup I was already sick of it ^_^; I became Ciel Phantomhive next with a cup of Earl Grey and dang, I quite enjoyed it! And I’ve tried it before because I’m alwaaaays up to being more like Ciel, but this was the first time I actually liked it! I guess the right amount of creamer makes all the difference 😛

Overall, it was a really good little party even though it ended with a terribly sour taste in my mouth since Asma and Hadia disappeared on us to run to the the park near Asma’s house because it’s a pokestop AND to hatch their eggs. I was so seriously annoyed and hurt. These guys just always leave me out. I got so pissed. I had a stern and serious and emotional yell at/talk with Hadia on the drive home. She apologized so that’s something and said she wouldn’t do stuff like that with Asma anymore. She didn’t know how strongly I felt about it and how left out I felt. But the thing is, if she and Asma do something like this again, and I’m expecting them to, even if it’s not on purpose like all of these have been, I don’t know if I can stop myself from getting seriously upset with them to the point that I can’t forgive them for a while. I just don’t want it to come to that. But this dingnuts would totally forget and go dashing out in a heart beat to catch pokemon without me. Blahhs don’t even KNOW pokemon….*grumble mumble*

And now to seriously distract myself from this terribleness with anime. Laterrr.

 

Mall Shopping Spree with Rubab: Vlogging Adventure

Remember how when Rubab first landed in America a few weeks ago in the middle of Ramadan, she invited me out to an outlet mall in the city to go shopping? Well, we decided that wasn’t enough time for us to hang out, so I invited her over to my place so I could drive her out to the mall nearby today.

After a looot of negotiating, we finally set up our plan to meet up at the mall and to hang out there until we were ready to come back to my place. (I was hoping to get some pokemon go catching in there too, but I didn’t manage to 😦 )

Sooo I drove out the van there and we met up. We did loads of shopping in H&M, Charlotte Russe, Charming Charlie, and visited some others like Forever 21, and Books a Million too.

Rubab didn’t do that much shopping, because she thought she wouldn’t wear cool stuff like dresses in Pakistan much -___- boring. She did most of her shopping for gifts for other people. And speaking of gifts for people back home, she had promised she would vlog us hanging out at the mall, so that’s exactly what we did. And I have to say, it was really fun! I got the footage from her once she’d left, and it was really fun to watch us goofing off on camera xD The only problem of listening to yourself recorded is having to hear your own voice, ew. But anyways, I realized I totally had enough confidence to vlog in public and it was a really enjoyable thing to do~ I’m glad I tried it out.

Besides that, the family at home needed the van to go to a BBQ, so I dragged Rubab home and we chilled out here, recording a haul video and also experimenting with some buys such as my eyeshadow palette and Rubab’s hair doughnut. Mid make up tutorial however, Rubab’s ride showed up and we had to say bye. Again. Ugh, good byes stiiiiink. I just really hope I get to fly back soon to visit. I miss my friends ❤
