Les Mis!!!

I'VE FINALLY SEEN "LES MIS"!!!!!!!
And, to be totally honest, I'm still in emotional overload.

SO, overall, IT WAS SO FREAKING AMAZING, OMHolyGoodness!!! Hugh Jackman can ACTUALLY sing!! And Samantha Barks, who's freaking amazing as Eponine every time!!! And Anne Hathaway!! OMG, Anne!!! Her adaptation of Fantine was  heartbreaking and utterly gorgeous!! The students (FREAKING HOT) were incredible, everyone, just fantastic!!! Russel Crowe wasn't AS BAD as I thought he'd be, he was okay.

(SIGH) HOWEVER.... there were two people that I didn't really care for, and their names were Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne... I'm sorry, you two!! I'm sorry, you guys were OKAY as Cosette and Marius, not terrible, NOT outstanding, you two just weren't my favorite part of the movie...

Have you guys seen the movie? if so, what did you think? Let me know!

Over and out. Rinse. Repeat.
Peace out, y'all.

I'm BAAAAaaaack!

Gah! Sorry for the awkward silence in posting, my ideas for blog posts ran dry..... still don't have any good ideas/creative ideas/weird ideas/even BAD ideas for a post! So, in lieu of that, I've decided to assemble a list comprised of stuff that I've discovered recently, here goes....

• New Book: Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard.... to be honest, I didn't expect to like this book, but it's actually, SURPRISINGLY, really, really good! Well, not REALLY really good, but good!! 
• New Song/Artist: Tears of An Angel by Ryan Dan. OMGosh, it's so pretty!! and sad!! (Sniffle) It's AWESOME!!! :D
• New Movie: NOT "Les Miserables", unfortunately....  (yes, I loved the musical before it was a movie, kudos if you did too!! :D), I REALLY want to see that movie!! but so far, no dice... HOWEVER, I have seen a movie recently, it came out a few years ago, but it's SO GOOD!!! The Prestige (2006), OMGosh!!! UNTIL I SEE "LES MIS" ((EDIT- I HAVE SEEN "LES MIS"!!! Will tell later!!!)), this is my favorite Hugh Jackman movie!! 
• New Manga: Vampire Knight by Matsuri Hino (Two thumbs WAY, way up!!)
• New TV series: "GAME OF THRONES"!!!! Not new, still AMAZING!!!!!!!

And, I think... yeah, that's all for now, WILL POST SOMETHING ABOUT "LES MISERABLES" MOVIE!!! 

Over and out. Rinse. Repeat.

Peace out, y'all.

Long Live Fan-Fiction (Fanfiction?)

However it's spelled.

For those of you who don't know, fanfiction is, literally, exactly what it sounds like: a bunch of crazy, awesome fanatics (like myself) - in this case, PotterHeads/(my personal favorite) ScarHeads/Harry Potter fans (as normal people would say) - get together and write stories, spin-offs, crossovers, you name it! featuring characters and/or places from the Harry Potter series. 

The website I'm on, which is, you guessed it: HarryPotterFanfiction.com, is actually pretty cool! My profile is HERE.... I haven't written any stories yet, but I can't wait!! 

Sooooo, yeah! I highly recommend it if you like writing fan fiction, I'm kind of looking around for other fan fiction sites - well, I say that; I'm GOING to be looking around for a few other fan fiction sites, I haven't started yet.

What?! A normal looking post?! ;P

KEEP CALM!!

I'll be honest: I LOVE "Keep Calm" stuff!! However, why settle for the plain "Keep Calm and Carry On"? So, in search for the perfect "Keep Calm" slogan, I've found a few awesome ones (if I can find the link, it'll be there) -I'd take any of these on a shirt or something (ANYTHING!!).... Oh, BTW, you'll notice a lot of these links go to Etsy and so on; I'm not telling you to buy anything, so don't worry!! It's just my other tab and that's where I'm pulling quite a few of my inspirations from... 

I love "Game of Thrones", what can I say? :D

"Sherlock" Forever!!!!!!

We love you, son of Coul!!! (snarfle)

:D

Probably should watch this episode.....

I MUST STOP!!!! I'm having WAY too much fun finding all these, so this is probably the part where what tiny bit of normal person in me says to wrap it up.... (sigh) :D

Peace out, y'all!!

A strange discovery...

During NaNoWriMo last year, I listened to a lot of music (LOTR soundtrack, to be exact), and entirely by accident, I came across something strange.... Lord of the Rings: The Musical. I didn't even know they made a musical about LOTR!! Ah well, I probably shouldn't be surprised, but still!

Check it out, let me know what you think (I'm not sure how I feel about it)!

Another one: Jekyll and Hyde (the musical).... I've been meaning to listen to this all the way, but alas, that has not happened yet...

I found a few others, I'll post them soon (I'm not sure how I find all these weird -some AMAZING- musicals, I just do).

Peace out, y'all!

The ULTIMATE Question!!!!

Well, it's not really, (see "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" for that one) but a random and strange question occurred to me yesterday evening:

If "Les Miserables" (the musical) was reinvented into a modern day musical with an entirely new soundtrack, what would be some of the new songs sung by the main characters?

Now, I adore the Les Mis musical, PASSIONATELY, but, I admit... the weird question posed by my bizarre subconscious intrigues me.... (No, I'm not crazy; HONEST :D).

It's really, REALLY hard to decide!! Just for fun, I've decided to, on my free time, find some songs that would work OKAY with some of the characters and their stories. Like I said, it's REALLY hard!! I've never thought of another song for a character in the Les Mis musical, BESIDES what they originally sing... it's difficult, but I'm determined! I'm not sure it's even possible, because the original is SO iconic, and SO memorable and beautiful, I'm sure if I should/could/can 'reinvent' it, even if it's just for fun; I'll try, and see what I come up with...

So far, I'm sorta toying with "Just a Dream" (Nelly cover) by Sam Tsui and Christina Grimmie and "What Hurts the Most" (Yanou's Candelight Remix) by Cascada... I'm not sure who gets what at the time being, but, for now, those two are on my virtual playlist.

YouTube Channels!!!!!!!

Greetings, earthlings!!
Okay, so for a while now, I've been getting up ridiculously early (4 am, it's actually not as bad as it sounds!) and exploring the crevices of YouTube... yes, readers, I come back a little mentally scarred, but mostly happy!!
I've discovered a new favorite YouTube channel, several actually, links and descriptions below.

AVbyte: I LOVE these guys!!! The creators of the channel, Antonius and Vijay, write, film, and post a new short musical every week, they're hilarious and super talented!! (and NOT a gay couple, they've assured us of that beyond all possible doubt; it's true though, they really are full brothers.)
(A few of my favorite videos of theirs are Disney Princess Leia - Star Wars Disney Princesses! and Doctor Who The Musical!, but all of their videos are good!! Subscribe to them, 'like' them, follow them on Twitter/Facebook, etc.!

The Hillywood Show: HAHAHA, they're SO hilarious!!! I SO recommend them!!! My absolute favorite video of theirs (because I've seen the new "Hobbit" movie) is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Parody, but I enjoy a lot of their videos!! Check them out!!

Conor Maynard: I found him pretty much entirely by accident, but he is SO talented!!! Seriously!! Check out his channel, he does covers of popular songs (a lot of them acoustic covers), and he's just really cool!! Check it out!!

Barely Political: OMGosh, they're awesome (and, fun fact, friends with Antonius and Vijay from AVbyte), VERY very fun, and just super cool!! Fair warning, though: they have some rather... vulgar? is that the word? They have quite a few RUDE HUMOR videos (to put it delicately), so WATCH WITH AN OPEN MIND AND CAUTION!!! Check them out, though!! :D



On a random note..... I seriously love AMVs, I love 'em to tears, and a friend of mine actually makes AMVs, a link to his channel here. If YOU guys like AMVs, let me know and I'll post more links to some of my favorites!!

Peace out, y'all!!
