[insanejournal.com profile] chthonian is finally watching Kings and OMFG YAY SOMEONE TO SQUEE AT ABOUT IT. \o/ I don't even care that it's like, 2 years post cancellation. Everyone must watch this show and love it. *bangs gavel* If I can force enough of you people to get into it, I can demand a little PSL and my RP life will be complete.

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOTHING HURT


by which I mean, everything hurts and it's beautiful.

STOP BEING BUSY SO WE CAN WATCH MOAR ILY ALSO WE HAZ ROOM W/OUR OWN BATHROOM FOR 11TH/12TH.

Also, I looked online when the suites are available, and I think I may actually think about renting one for a month. >.> Suite one is available 19 December (I'd try to book it for January, I think), and suite three is available for February. Maybe it will be a birthday treat for myself, or something. What do you think? You'd have to come visit me for a weekend or something, of course. I feel like it's kind of a splurge, but it could also maybe be life changing.

I said think a lot. You know why? Because I just spent nine hours with a 3 year old boy who speaks mainly Japanese, using me as a human jungle gym. :-| I am not thinking at all. I'm on autopilot.

monday monday monday :D!

and ohhhhh my gosh!!! they both look so amazing *___* and if you think about it, ~$1400/mo might be expensive but is actually absurdly fucking cheap if you think of it as a hotel rather than a normal apartment (since it's furnished, has internet, etc). also, i'm actually (f)unemployed for january & february, so i'd be free to visit you whenever, if you do splurge and do it! ugh it's just so beautiful, i can't. seems like it'd be a nice space for you to spend the month on relaxing, unwinding, decompressing, wandering the city, etc. ♥

It's only a matter of hours away! *dances*

I kiiiind of want to see if I could get a work visa, just for kicks, and see what I find there? I don't know. I'm in a rut, I have been for a long time. I need to do something dramatic. Last January I was there and almost half of the businesses were closed for 1-3 weeks, just for a general city wide work holiday, it seemed like. So maybe February.

j'approve of dramatic lifechangey events! although work visas are a complex world that i can offer no help in :( i dunno if the best route is to somehow secure a job beforehand, or if maybe it'd be possible to enter as a visitor, get hired, then apply for a visa once you have an employer on-hand? idkkkkk

but it would be cool if you could get out of your rut; i know you've been itching for something else.

also, out of curiosity: will you be around tonight?

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2011-10-24 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
I've never looked into one. I'll google before we go over, or something.

Yep, I'm around. Are we watching some Kings? :D

[identity profile] chthonian.insanejournal.com 2011-10-24 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
yessssssss :D

i'm feeling like shit today so i'm bailing on a play i really wanted to go to :( so the housemate's plan is kings after i finish cooking dinner~

I'm sorry you feel like shit and are missing the play! :( I'm here whenever you feel like watching, tho. ♥

That show was so, so good.

So of course it had to get cancelled.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's what happens to the greats, man. If a show is on the air long enough, it's bound to get stale, so we remember the ones that lasted 1-3 seasons as being amazing, because they were cancelled in their primes.

[identity profile] banlieue.insanejournal.com 2011-10-22 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
aww I was so sad when they canceled that.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
I think it was only five episodes that were aired before they gave the time slot to Dateline, and put the rest up online/held them for summer rerun time? Which I guess is better than The Playboy Club that got cancelled after three, this year, but it was also an infinitely better show than The Playboy Club.

Haha yeah, I was going to say--youuu can't really compare the two. :( Granted, I was disoriented by Ian McShane in any show where he wasn't liberally using the word 'cocksucker' in conjunction with flowery, weirdly poetic madeup western speak, but I got used to it.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
I love Ian McShane in anything. And the rest of the cast is also brilliant; Julie and I are sort of crazed with Sebastian-as-Jack. But then I list two characters, and I want to list all of them. >.

[identity profile] banlieue.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
hahaha well yes, naturally, it's always everything was ian mcshane and nothing hurt. his part of 'scoop' was even non-painful.

I could do with one or two less people considering Scarjo to be their ~*muse*~, tbqh. That poor, poor movie.

[identity profile] banlieue.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well, wish granted--Allen has clearly moved on. Though I'm not sure that movie could have been saved even with a different lead, yikes.

[identity profile] chthonian.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I LOVE THAT MOVIE

but that is to be expected, because i will enjoy anything hugh jackman is in. also hall of the mountain king. also scarjo's best look imo, i love those glasses.

Ugh, the show of my heart. It's there with Firefly and SCC with the shows I will MOURN FOREVER.

[identity profile] thebodypolitic.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
It is such a pretty show.

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Any excuse to re-watch it, I do. >.> And I want to screencap and make better icons of everyone in it, someday.

[identity profile] thebodypolitic.insanejournal.com 2011-10-23 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
I always try to con people into watching and then watch with them. Here, have my favorite Kings Vid. So heartbreaking.

[identity profile] chthonian.insanejournal.com 2011-10-25 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
1. totally going to icon the fuck out of this show asap.
2. BAHAHAHA WE TOTALLY REACHED THE SCENE OF YOUR ICON FROM THIS POST

[identity profile] igpayatinlay.insanejournal.com 2011-10-25 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
1. I need to find downloads so I can cap and it can be a ~project~. >.>
2. We did! :D I like that moment.
