Yes it may be old, but eh, at least it's still working!

| What. The. Hell?!....Just recently, I discovered BLEACH MUSICAL on youtube.com.... I don't know....I don't know why....but I found it. And I watched it.... ....I have very mixed feelings about it. The fact that they acted out the whole play as Bleach characters was pretty cool, but it seems like the manga came to life or something... ...But....then....why do they have to make it so retarded? (which completely destroys my comment from above) I don't know. I just thought this was funny....So watch it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vmmugj8dHE By the way, the play is taking place when Rukia got taken back to the Shinigami world and was to be executed. Yeah, THAT far back... | | |

| Rich People = Different Species I know people who are rich or have become rich aren't as two-dimensional as the stereotypical view that we all know and love: they're uncaring, insensitive to others short-comings, arrogant, wasteful, picky...and so on.
However, I refuse to admit that since the wealthy are still people with equal amount of faults that we all have. So, having that noble thought, I am happy. But, you know, there's something, ALWAYS something to made me wonder if I'm wrong.
Take my trip to Alpine last week, for example. That place, as you all probably know, is the richest place in Bergen County and, possibly, the country. My cousin, who came back from college for summer vacation, decided to drive me around over there just to tour the awesome houses. (Yeah, he's cool that way.)
So, after an hour of hauling me forcefully into the car since I was still wary of him and his young driver's license, we finally set off. Long story short, we got there, gaped with open-mouths at the houses, and debated whether or not sneaking into the grounds of one of the mansions was illegal if you swore you "got lost."
Anyway, as all of that is nice (with me complimenting the wealth of the Alpine residents), that's not what I wanted to say. See, while we parked on the curb on this particularly huge mansion and argued if he or I had won (we were playing a game that whoever saw the bigger mansion first, would win one of the infinite number of rounds that we created), we both fell silent when two girls, seemingly high school girls that were a bit older than me, came up the sidewalk and passed us. Their conversation was very interesting...
Girl A: So what did your mom say? Didn't she freak?
Girl B: Oh, yeah, duh. But I don't know what her problem is. I just threw away a defect! Who wants to keep crappy, defected bag?!
Girl A: Wow, you're so lucky, not caring. If I just threw away something like that, my dad would freak and then give me one of those five hour lectures and shit and take my credit card away.
Girl B: Yeah, well, anyway, I got a new one.
Girl A: A new one?! That fast! Jesus, you move fast! Oh! You mean this? Hey, it's the same one! Oh, the more I look at this, the more I want to get it! ...Heeey...I bet you just brought it over to show off, huh?
Girl B: *laughs* Maaaaybe. It's nice, isn't it, though?
At that moment, when they passed by us, I saw Girl A holding up a funky looking purse with weird set of embroidery on it. It seemed kind of Asian and had a very distinctive design with what seemed like lilies. However, I couldn't see if it had a logo on it, so, like a typical person I am, I just assumed it was one of those bags that you buy in those small shops around Fort Lee (like the ones that don't have much quality or are imitations). My cousin, however, had his doubts.
So, for the whole ride back, he kept bugging me if that wasn't a Gucci bag or something of the sort. I only replied irritably that I didn't know since I wasn't interested in that kind of girly stuff. Then he had the nerve to sigh and call me a man. Jackass. But, nevertheless, after that day, I never really thought of that bag and the two girl's conversation anymore than I did about breathing.
But...as I have learned, fate can be a very calculating and surprising trickster.
So, what does old Erica mean by that corny saying? Weeeeell....
Just yesturday, I needed to get some fashion reference pictures for a character that I was drawing. (I'm not afraid to admit it; I DO have fashion issues, which, unfortunately, severely hadicaps my characters' clothes designs.) So, I decided to look around popular brands like Hermes, Armani, Richemont, Burberry, LVMH, and...lastly...Gucci.
(Just to tell you, I would have never known any of these brands if it wasn't for my drawings and manga...which is really sad.)
So, as I was looking around in Gucci fall brands to get some ideas, I saw one bag that looked uncannily like the one that the girl in Alpine had the week before. When I looked closer, I also saw that the lily patterns were exactly the same. The more I looked at the picture, the more I was sure that Girl B had this bag.
Then I looked at the price.
$3,890.00
...Gucci bags don't have defects.
Nor is it an easy matter to simply throw them away and to get new ones...especially one at this price.
.............
I want to raid that girl's garbage now.
.....
So. What DO I think now? Do I think that the rich are wasteful and the such? No, I still don't. She was only one example from the many and, besides, she didn't mean harm in her words. Also, Girl B said that her mom yelled at her for buying such a thing, so there are people that are still conscientious about frivolous use of money.
However...the fact that the girl had no qualms about the insanity of throwing a bag away like that, that she was picky about such nonexistant things like defects in a hand-made product, and that she was able to simply brush away her mother's anger about wastefulness (thus telling me that the mom didn't really care about the issue if her words didn't have much effect).......It makes me wonder.
However, what makes me wonder even more is that there's seriously a rift between us normal folk and the ones that are "above" us in terms of what's important and moral code. It's...disconcerting.
This is the bag. Marvel at its funkiness. | | |
| Harry Potter and the Deathly HollowsSo~I'm not dead yet. Well, I got the book at the Deathly Hollows Ball at Borders yesturday and the whole event was pretty cool. ...Though I shouldn't really say that 'cause all I was doing was trying to read four Saiyuki Reload mangas for the three hours which the event lasted. ...Yeah, I'm a party pooper. But I got the book and I read it right after I got it, had to go to sleep, went to math class a zoombie, and went back home to read the thing again...FOR THE WHOLE FREAKIN DAY. Yeah, I finished it right now, so you wouldn't consider it the whole day, but...meh. *SPOILERS! DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT THE EFFIN SPOILERS* I was really surprised on the whole aspect of the story and I was a bit dulled by the fact that practically the whole book was based on internal turmoi. Ah, well, that's wizard angsts for you, straight from Harry. I also sobbed on the last five chapters of the book. And this wasn't just sobs like a tears streaming down. I was hiccuping, gasping, and just...well...SOBBING. After I'd feel better, I'd start bursting out crying at the stupidest thing. (One example was when Snape, during the memory trip of Harry's in the Pensieve, snapped at this guy for saying Mudblood. I was soooo touched.) Man, I feel really drained. And depressed. I even started to burst out crying at the very last sentence. I was so happy that everything had come out alright. I was even hugging the book, moaning, "HARRY'S OKAY! HE DIDN'T DIE! AND HE HAS KIDS! KIDS, DAMMIT! WOOOO!" ...Yeaaaaah.... Oh...the saddest moment for me in whole whole, book, however, was when Lupin and Tonks died. I sobbed the hardest on that. (laughs) First I cried that Lupin and Tonks had died. Then the fact that now their son is an orphan just like Harry and Neville. After that, it was when I realized that the Marauders were no more. Finally, the fact that Andromeda was all alone. Her husband and her neice were dead. It was like one stab after another. I cried so hard... But the whole Snape and Lily thing...? Ew. I reaaally didn't like that. Just like the Harry and Ginny pairing, I seriously think that JK Rowling got her ideas from the fanbases. Ugh. But...in the end, I was just like meh. I mean, I was sorta prepared for it since the people on DeviantArt enjoys putting Lily and Snape together during their younger years. I suppose they were right, afterall... Man, that thought's depressing. Well, this is pretty much it. So hope you enjoyed the book and long live Harry Potter! (AND HIS AWESOME KIDS!) | | |
| WATCH IT!I can't really say much at the moment, and I'll put up an actual big update like I used to in the old days really soon, but first, you have to watch this movie. I was pretty late in finding it, but it's good nevertheless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj3m1oJwTQE&mode=related&search= It's called One Stormy Night and it's about a friendship between a wolf and a goat. Other than that, I will not say. The story is extremely heart-warming and unless you're immature and hate morals, then watch it. It's sorta like Miyazaki style. Only...not as good animation. Heh. | | |
