Oh Xanga, How I Love You! Let Me Count Thine Ways...

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:03:03 GMT

Dear Xanga, I miss you. A lot. Terribly. With all my heart.

Recently, I made a Facebook account. I was never really a big fan of Facebook before hand. I figured it just be like Myspace. People would get all excited about it for a year or so, then drop it like it’s hot for the next cool new exciting social networking website. But as time passed, more and more of my friends were signing up for this website. Even my friends who were never fans or wouldn’t dream of joining Myspace type sites jumped on the bandwagon. More and more stuff was being done and discussed on Facebook, and I was feeling a little out of the loop. Besides, a bunch of my friends were going off to college, and I didn’t want to loose track of them (and I wanted to rekindle my relationship with some friends I had lost contact with along the way)…

So, I joined.

Actually, to be more precise, my friends made a profile for me late in the night on my friend Katie’s backyard deck, filling it with some pictures she had of me on the her laptop, and sending some mutual friends my way so I wouldn’t be alone on the site. When it started that innocent night, I figured I’d never become obsessed with it. I still wasn’t really a big fan of Facebook. It was just sort of there for me, and all I really wanted it for was to communicate with friends. I never planned on abandoning Xanga. But as the days wore on, a strange sort of frenzy began to happen to me. I was spending more and more time on Facebook. I was finding more and more friends, posting more and more pictures, updating my status every thirty minutes, playing games, the works. If it was on Facebook, I knew about it.

And for awhile, that made me happy. A bunch of my friends I hadn’t had a real heart to heart with in years, I was now fully connected too. I caught up with them, and got to see how their lives have been through the pictures. I also found some friends I had not seen in a LONG, LONG, LONG. time (since grade school), and it was beyond awesome to see them again and find out what had been going on in their lives. So, Facebook wasn’t all bad. But sadly, I was getting so caught up in the whirl of it all, I started being less passionate about my Xanga. It wasn’t that I gave up, or stopped caring, it was just that I was half assing it at best. My posts came less frequently, and weren’t as thoughtfully put together as they usually were. And as I was writing them, I was usually on my Facebook anyway, talking to people while writing. And on top of that, they few people I had become friends with on Xanga and commented on what I wrote (especially Johnny) stopped visiting me. And though for years it never really mattered to me whether someone read what I wrote or not, somewhere along the lines it became apparent to me how much I actually loved comments and feedback. I realized that I started posting Blog posts, not just because I liked to do it, but also to see how people would respond to them. And I loved the responses! It made me so happy to open my mail and see that someone had commented on my post, and to find people with similar interests, and such. So, with my lack of comment-age, I began to think, what’s the point? What’s the point in blogging if no one see’s it, reads it, or cares? So, back to Facebook I retreated.

But then, as even more time passed, and I was no longer basking in the glory of being a new Facebook user, things started to get really… Blah on Facebook. I wasn’t getting friends requests frequently anymore, people visited and commented on my wall and posts less often, people stopped looking at all my pictures, and with that, a lot of comments on them stopped, and the games were getting kind of mundane. I just didn’t feel really fulfilled. It was cool to see what my friends were doing and knowing what everyone was up to and stuff, but there were times where I’d just sit at my computer, starring at my live feed, waiting for something to happen. Usually, nothing ever really did.

So, I was feeling unfulfilled, and often times wanted to write stuff. Not just one little line on how I was feeling, or what I was going to do for they day, but really WRITE (or blog, if you will P). I know that Xanga can link to Facebook, but I never wanted to do that because all the people I’m friends with on Facebook. I talk about different things with different friends, where as on Xanga, I am free to totally free to go super geek and be me, and I’m not sure I wanted to expose that to everyone I was friends with on Facebook. But still, I couldn’t shake the urge to blog. A serious, intense one, like I used to do. But I couldn’t. I could make a note of it on Facebook, but that didn’t cut it for me, either. :/ Also, other than missing actually writing stuff, I began to miss my Xanga friends. I’ve only really made a few, but the few I’ve made I must say I’ve become rather close with. Close to the point of if I met them out on the street somewhere, I don’t think it would be awkward at all. We’d just carry on like we did on Xanga. I appreciate them for that, and miss all the awesome conversations we had. I did make some friend on Facebook, but not that many, and one of them actually annoys the hell out of me. Nothing like my Xanga buds. :P Also, my parents and family and stuff are on Facebook, so I feel like I have to censor myself even further.

All in all, I wasn’t really happy with Facebook anymore. At all, really. But for some unknown reason, I still obsessively was on it as much as I could, posting stuff and looking at things, even if no one cared or it bored the hell out of me. And then finally, last night, I decided that I would write this blog post out. Even if no one reads it or cares.

I miss Xanga. I miss blogging, I miss feeling free to freak out over geeky things or bitch about something without friends or people I know thinking I’m being weird or stupid. I miss being anonymous, and getting outside opinions from people on things and situations. I miss just sitting down and spilling my soul, or posting cool things I find. I miss talking to and hearing from my Xanga friends. I miss visiting and being a part of a website that actually has true substance, and isn’t just pictures, games, and one line updates.

I MISSED THIS SITE A LOT.

So, I came back. I’ve been a part of Xanga off and on since 2006, and it’s going to take more than a little website to stop me from coming back! I just always feel really bad for Livejournal and Xanga. More than anyone else, it seems like these sites are left in the dust as Facebook and the like gains fame. But I love Xanga, and I’m not leaving. I promise. My hearts here, and I’ve shared much more here then I ever have, or will, on Facebook. I love you guys! ^.^

I KNOW I’M A NERD, OK?!?!?! Now that that’s out of the way, LET’S GET TO BLOGGING! :D

So, a lot has gone down on the G-Parents front.

My G-Parents seem to be getting older and older with each passing day, and it is def becoming more apparent. A few nights ago my G-Ma had to be rushed to the emergency room for gull bladder surgery. It wasn’t a terrible operation, but still, she had to leave my G-Pa alone for several day. My G-pa is ninety three. It isn’t really a good idea to leave him by himself. So, on Friday, I went and stayed the night with him. It was an easy enough night. I literally just sat there (though I did finish the second VHD book! Woo!). He was rather cute, though. At midnight he said, “Kristy, I think it’s time to put on your pajama’s and go to bed.” I haven’t been told to go to bed in forever! It was also cute hearing him explain their carbon monoxide detector, in which he stated, “Now if this goes off, which it won’t, but if it does, all that means is that you need to get some fresh air, alright?” I was like, “OK, G-Pa!” ^.^

All the emo happened the next day, though. I was sitting in the living room when I heard him talking on the phone to his friend. There’s something really heartbreaking about listening to your G-Pa talk about how he can’t cut it on his own, and asking his friend if he’d visit him in a nursing home. I left with my sister to do stuff shortly after, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of guilt I had. I felt so bad for feeling burdened by going over to watch him, and I felt even worse because I know that he felt guilty about making me stay, and I felt even MORE worse because I know that I wasn’t much help to him. :/ Since then, things have been sort of a big mess figuring out who is going to take care of them and such. *Sigh* Poor guys… L G-Ma’s home now, and he never ended up going to a nursing home.

But, on a much happier note, I happened into Big Lots the other day (which must be fate), and happened to see they had a HUGE DVD sale. And guess what? THEY HAD ANIME! ALL FOR THREE DOLLARS! *A* I dove in like a mad woman! I came out with Tide-Line Blue, Black Blood Brothers, Flag, MEMORIES, Speed Grapher three and four, Detective Conan (for either Erms or Amandar), and Spice World (on DVD! :D). All together, it was like, twenty eight dollars! For all of it! HEAVENLY EXCSTACY! I watched two of the four episodes of Tide-Line Blue, which actually isn’t a bad little series. It’s pretty entertaining so far. I also watched the first episode of Black Blood Brothers (which I found out is based off a light novel), and it was also pretty good. I have yet to see any of the rest, though. I did finish Amanda’s Saiunkoku DVD. I loved it!!! Shuurei and Ryuuki are so damn cute, together!!! >//<

In OTHER good news, a friend I haven’t heard from in YEARS (since the third grade) friended me of Facebook! I was so excited!!! It’s so cool to interact with people you haven’t seen in forever!!! I missed her!

And, I hope to hang out with Jen tomorrow. And Amanda is apparently taking me to tour a college. Life getting on track? I sure hope so. I hate it when I feel useless…

I haven’t posted quizzes in forever… I kinda miss it… So, here goes!

Yet again, it’s been FOREVER since I updated! I apologize to anyone who reads my random nonsense. I’ve become rather lazy when it comes to updating this…

Anyway, a few weeks ago, John and I went to see the Eureka Seven Movie GOODNIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT, YOUNG LOVERS in theaters. IT. WAS. GLORIOUS! It was surprisingly good! You always take your chances with anime movies, especially ones that are based off of series already in existence. Thank goodness this movie turned out to be a great example of how an anime movie should be made. Nearly all the characters from the series were there, and visually it was beautiful.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

The movie was an alternate telling of the series. In the series, Renton originally meets Eureka while working as a mechanic at his G-Pa’s shop. Eureka crashes into their building, and from there he starts his epic adventure on the Gekkostate and so on. In the movie, Eureka and Renton were childhood friends. I appreciated this approach, because it made their intense love for each other seem more understandable. In the series, Renton literally falls in love with Eureka at first sight. Though that’s cute it was also kind of… Comical. The movie follows the same path as far as Eureka being an other worldly being. The only difference is instead of her being a Coralian, she’s an A-Zoe (the “villains” in the movie) spy robot. Something I found interesting was how they portrayed Holland and his crew. In the movie, they were pretty big jerks. I mean, Holland was a bad guy (pretty much)! Where as in the series, Holland was an A-wall soldier in the military, who took Eureka from them and fled, in the movie he (as well as the rest of the crew) were actually children who were war orphans, taken in by Dewey (who was originally in the series, Holland’s brother), who in turn did all these terrible experiments on them, and ended up throwing them into an A-Zoe. This A-Zoe took them to the other earth (the one they were supposed to live on), but then somehow they got sent back (I forget how exactly), and from then on they had been aging at an alarming rate. So, they try to use Eureka to send them to the other planet so they can live normal lives. Yes, confusing, I know. The series was and the movie was, as well. :P

Anemonic! Or is it Domone? It doesn't matter because it's DAMNED CUTE! :D

What I did like was the relationships. Throughout the series, I always felt kind of bad for Talho. She was always so dedicated to Holland, and he always just blew her off until he realized she was pregnant with his child. In the movie, he is very attentive to her. You finally get to see how much he loves and cares for her, and it’s very cute. Also, Eureka and Renton were darling (of course). Though some of their romance scenes were rather cheesy, overall, it was very cute. And I do believe I liked Renton better in this movie than the series. He seemed more… I dunno… Manly (something like that)? It was cute! AND ANEMONE AND DOMINIC! They were always my fav’s, and I’m so glad the movie did them justice! It was wonderful not seeing Anemone crazed and hopped up on drugs, and it was cool that Dominic was Renton and Eureka’s childhood teacher! AND THE NIRVASH AND THE END WERE SO CUTE!!! >.< Oh, and the action was good, too!

From the end credits!

All in all, great film. And the end special features were hilarious! I could easily marry Johnny Young Bosch or Crispin Freeman! :D

Anyway, other than that, I GOT MY DRIVERS LICENSE! Finally! I aced those cones, too! I did make some really dumbass mistakes (like forgetting to put on the brake when turning on the car and backing into the curb after the cones), but they didn’t count against me! :D It was however, extremely gross cleaning out my car for the test. Dad made it all yucky.

Now I can get a job… And go to school… The two things that still cause me dismay.

Other than that, I REALLY WANT A BLYTHE DOLL, and I’m getting better at making doll clothes!

I’ll promise to try and update more regularly, now!

Oh, and please feel free to check out my Flickr! I'm pretty much obsessed with it. :P

So, I finally finished watching Serial Experiments Lain last night. It is such a gloriously, marvelously, messed up series. It reminds me a hell of a lot of Boogiepop Phantom (which I also love), especially because each series main character is a teenage girl faced with other worldly persona's a situations. I also loved the ending. I was for sure it would end incredibly emo, but it ended rather happy. All in all, GREAT series. I should go buy the last two DVD's (I borrowed them from a friend). If your into series that are supernatural, make you think, have deep stuff in them, and are slightly cyberpunk, you should def check it out.

In other news, WHAT THE HELL, CIEL PHANTOMHIVE?! I know you've just been through a deeply scarring emotional nightmare, BUT DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO ORDER SEBASTION TO KILL DOLL?! Geez! And now flippin' Grell is coming back! GREAT, JUST WONDERFUL. Curse you, Kuroshitsuji!!!

But, on a happier note, GOODNIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT, YOUNG LOVERS TONIGHT!!! I'm so excited!

Mmmmmmmm. Pasta.

So, more neglect. Forgive me Xanga. I blame Flickr. For though I am not terribly popular on it, there are just too many pretty things to stare at on that damn website. Flipping Yahoo. >.<

Anyway, I figured I'd break this post down into two categories; Things that have been depressing me and things that make me happy. So, here goes.

Depressing:

Lynne finally left for college. :( She had a movie party before she left which I went to (even though people I do not like in the least were there also, I was on my best behavior). I also visited her the day before she left, but only to drop off my present and say goodbye. I promised myself I wouldn't look like a huge nerd and cry, but dammit, I did (I knew I would). But the gift really touched her, and it made me happy, so I achieved my goal. And as far as I can tell, things at Northwestern is smooth sailing for her.
Nearly everything in my house (of any major value) has been taken out and relocated. Honestly, I thought I was done getting all emotional over the house. I mean, it still makes me sad, but I figured the tears were ove and done with. Then it happened, my mom had to go and start crying when all the furniture was being taken away. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, "It just seems so different with all the furniture gone." To which I replied, "I know.... I grew up here." And then, right there in the middle of out small little kitchen, we held each other and cried. Cheesy, I know, but it was kind of reassuring to know that I wasn't the only one mourning over the house.
The G-Parent's are having some health issues, and G-Pa had to get his catheter (is that how that's spelled?) back in. Poor guys. :(
My dad is pretty much broke. We can't even go on a small trip to Pittsburgh to visit his siblings. I feel bad, and hope things don't get worse (really hope). We're getting rid of cable, too (right at the Ulquihime episodes! Dang).
I still don't have a liscense, and haven't practiced the cones at all, recently.
I still have no job.
I still have no plans for college (and I feel guilty going with no job).
Maki's hand broke! D: But don't worry, I fixed it with some super glue. I just hope it stays fixed...
I have no clue who (or how) I'm gonna cosplay this year...

Now, things that have made me happy:

My room is nearly COMPLETE! I don't know how I found room for everyone, but I did! Upoun setting up, I also realized how many elephant things I really have (which is probably around a hundred). It's epic.
With Amanda's help, I've gotten to take some really epic Takeshi pictures! With a horse! Woo!
Many trips to the dog park where Vincent got to show off.
SOMEBODY REVIEWED MY FANFIC!!! The one I had a lot of fun writing! SHE FAVORITED IT, TOO! YAY!
Sugoi-con is coming!
Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers, is coming!
While cleaning out the house, I discovered a lot of old memories. Some bad, but mostly very happy, good ones! Yay!
VAMPIRE HUNTER D BLOODLUST IS AN AMAZING MOVIE. 0.0
We got a new sink. A sexy one, that actually works (though dad has like, fifty rules for it :P).
I'm seeing friends all over the place.
The Georgia O'Keeffe movie was awesome (but not as awesome as Coco Chanel).
The ending of Gundam 00 wasn't as crappy as I thought it'd be. And Tieria's got it made. He get's to float around naked in sparklies for the rest of forver, just chillin', watching over everyone.
We got a female crab. Her name is Candy. She's a cutie!
I knew there was something else, but I can't really remember...

So, there you have it. My life in a nut shell.Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some more organizing to do. :P

Oh, and check out my awesome Takeshi slide show!

Isn't he epic? Visit us on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wonderousbeef/)! Thanks!

I Miss Her Already And She Hasn't Even Left Yet. :(

Oh nein! I had to post today, knowing that it was 09/09/09. Nine is one of my favorite numbers, and after reading THIS I thought it was too cool of a day not to make a post about.

Today I'm (hopefully) going over to Lynne's for some kind of movie party. Maybe that will make me forget about moving and college and jobs ane everything else that is depressing me.

Hopefully.

So, a few days ago my sister Katie, her woman Katy, Katy's baby Dexter, and I mosey into Walmart at 12:30am. We're just walking around, checking stuff out, when we go over to the fish section (because I wanted to see what kind of eels they had). That's when Katy's eye caught him. A little Fiddler Crab that was too cute to ignore. So, what did we do? We bought him, of course! And a little tank, some rocks, a T-Rex for his tank, and some food and water cleaner stuff. I lovingly named him Charles Huntington the Third. He was the head of chess club in highschool, and the valedictorian at the college of crabbery. He likes to play croquet in his free time and he's a skilled clarinet player. We left at 1am, happy with our purchase. ^.^

... But seriously, who goes into Walmat at 1am and leaves with a fiddler crab?

Isn't he cute?

In other news, my dad is being a huge asshole and he likes to forever point out how useless I am, which makes me feel even better about myself. Thanks dad. Thanks for pointing out my biggest weak point and making me feel worse when I already feel bad. Go get some anger management.

And while playing Persona 3 today, I found out that SHINJIRO DIES. WHAT THE HELL. Other than the main character, he was my favorite. THANKS ATLUS. Jerks.

I really liked him. He was badass, a good cook, and liked doggies. I'll miss you, buds. :(

And Ken is really emo, isn't he?

GUTEN TAG ALLES! :D

Well, I’ve been neglecting this for far too long, so here’s what’s been up.

August came and went rather quickly (which seems rather bizarre). All my underclassmen friends started up High school again. It’s so weird to go on Facebook and see them posting stuff about school, as well as seeing kids go to and from school and get on buses and stuff. In fact, the night before the fist day of school I was sitting there feeling like I should have gone to bed early. :P It’s also weird to hear about all my friends college exploits, especially knowing that I haven’t even signed up yet. But currently, I am feeling a lot better about this whole college situation, and I’m even a little bit excited to sign up for classes. I’ll have to do that soon.

Erms left for Kent State about two weeks ago. I went over to her house the evening before she left to wish her a goodbye and give her her gift. I think she really liked her socks and cute erasers, and I hope that the scrapbook and CD I made really meant something to her, too (especially because it took me forever to figure out how to make a CD). We talked a lot, ate some curry she made (which was really good), and had some cake. Then I left. As far as I can tell, she’s very happy in college, and that makes me happy as well. J Thank goodness Lynne doesn’t leave till the fourteenth (even though that is approaching shortly).

My G-Parents had a conjoined birthday party on the twenty seventh. My sister and I as well as our Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin Joey went (my mom had to work). I think our G-Parents were happy seeing all of us again, and we talked and ate some good food. J I made the cookies, and Katie bought them flowers (which I picked out, so you know they are pretty ;P). G-Pa’s ninety and still chugging! Woo! But lately, he has been showing his age. Poor guy…

Then, on the thirtieth, my birthday came! I’m nineteen now! Woo! And since everyone seemed to be away, the only peeps that could come celebrate with me were Amanda and John. We had a lot of fun though, and I was pleased. I got an awesome Hello Kitty cake (which I didn’t get to take pictures of because I couldn’t find my camera), and I got some awesome candles that had flames that were different colors. Present wise, I made out like a bandit. I pretty much got everything I wanted! Amanda got Maki some really pretty new clothes (Barbie ones. They are a little big, but that can be easily fixed), John got me Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust (which I’ve wanted for a long time) and a Light Yagami key chain (… I don’t know, either), Katie bought me the Twelve Kingdoms light novel, my mom bought me my Seiran Tae Yang (AND HE JUST ARRIVED YESTERDAY!!!! He’s awesome! I love him!!! His outfit is really intense, though), dad got my cake and paid for fixing my car, dad’s woman bought me purses (after I just bought a new one), Carrie got me a crab cake (but she didn’t make it, dammit), and I got me the Dogs Bullets And Carnage 1, a Haute Doll magazine, a new purse, and some new clothes. And everyone else got me money. Thanks everyone! I am very, very, VERY, happy! ^.^

Other than that, the gang and I just talked, ate, and fiddled around on my computer. Then my mom came and took my sister and I out to The Red Lobster for dinner. It was a very nice day, and I couldn’t have picked a better way to turn nineteen! Man, only one more year of being a teenager…

I was supposed to take my driving test on September first, but I went down to practice the cones the night before, and completely and totally sucked. So, I rescheduled. To October first. Dang it, I just want me license!!! Oh, and it didn’t help that my sister was yelling at me to turn the wrong way the whole time I was practicing. :P

Katy got a job at Target. So, I applied. I should probs go in and check on my application, so I’ll have to do that. I really hope I get it!!! >.<

And as I said before, Takeshi, my Seiran Tae Yang arrived yesterday. He’s unbelievably awesome. Marakiri has got herself an mighty fine guy! I haven’t taken many pictures yet, but expect a slide show real soon!

Oh! I also cleaned my room! It took a whole damn day, and I was exaughsted and grossed out by the end of it, but I did it. I actually have a floor now! Yay! And I’m FINALLY ready to start organizing my room the way I want it to me. I even changed my bulletin board, which I haven’t touched in years!!! GAH!
Also, Carrie took me out to C State yesterday to find what rooms her classes are in. And I’ve decided, it isn’t THAT creepy of a school. In fact, I kind of like it.

And last but def not least, I finally picked up my own copy of L Change The World. Personally, I loved it. I thought it was great to see an alternate story of Death Note with L taking the lead (and I think he deserved it, too). I think it was neat to get a glimpse into how his everyday life was. And I also thought it was really cool how they showed all the former Wammy House kids and what they’ve become (I thought it was cool how they were this connected ring of doctors, and detectives, and such. It was really interesting). I also ABSOLUTELY LOVED L’s interactions with the kids! It was the most adorable thing ever! And to just see him run around the town doing random stuff was brilliant! I thought the story was pretty epic too, and the acting was great. I mean this with all my heart, God put Kenichi Matsuyama on this planet to be L. In an interview he even said that the L character affected him in such a profound way, he didn’t think L would ever completely leave him. IT MADE MY HEART MELT!!!! >//< He’s such a cute guy, and it was such a great movie! Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself watching it. ^.^

Isn't he adorable? ^.^

… However, I believe if you haven’t seen the first two Death Note movies, you’d be really confused. And, if you don’t really like L, you won’t like the movie. But then again, who doesn’t like L? Honestly!

Check out this cool slideshow I made of Maki in her new dresses! :D

The set even came with a Tux, so Takeshi can look nice, too (if I can ever get up the courage to undress his nine layers of battle clothing o.0).

GEISHA TRANSFORM.

Well, things haven't been going well for poor baby V. Yesterday while I was watching him (because Katie was out with friends) I noticed the poor little guy itching a lot. Upoun further inspection, I noticed he had fleas. So I texted Katie and told her to bring home some flea medicine. She did, and her and her woman (Katy) put it on him. Instead of just putting it halfway down his back, though, they accidently covered her whole back. He then when to itch and bite at himself, and it got in his mouth and eyes. Katie had to wash him, but it was still in his eyes, so he was stumbling around with his eyes closed. he was also drooling like crazy because he ingested it. And on top of that, the flea medicine was off him again, so he was itching non stop. The poor thing was exaughsted, but he just kept scatching and whimpering. I stayed up with him until 5:30am, and then gave him back to my sister, who said he stayed up all night. Then she handed him back over to be at 8:30am, saying neither she nor him slept a wink, and he was still scratching. So, I wrapped him up and got him to sleep for about an hour, and after that I gave him a bath in flea be gone shampoo Katy picked up for him. I thought that had worked, so I went back to bed for a few hours. Unfortunately, I awoke to his whimpers, and found him outside my room scratching like mad while looking up at me with big sad eyes while whimpering. :( It broke my heart. After that, Katie and I tried flea spray, and he also has a flea collar on. But he's STILL ITCHING. Katie scheduled him to go to the vet's tomorrow to see what's up. He's actually sleeping in my lap now. Poor guy, I hope he get's better soon. :(

Other than that, I finished making Emily's "Off to college cute/emotional picture and memory scrap book going away gift." I still need to write her letter, make her CD, and put it all together, though. She leaves in like, three days. That's so sad. She's gonna miss my birthday (which is in six days). Hot dog... It's all happening so fast! I even think the highschoolers start back tomorrow. Dang... So werid...

Oh, and check out this little gem of a movie I found a trailer for on Youtube:

Does that not look marvelous? I think God put me on this planet just to see that film. :)
