So! EXCITING NEWS ALL! The lovely topazera and I have been working on putting together this comm for the last couple weeks and it is finally live! (And when I say "we've" been working on it I mean she's done all the coding and banners and I've been like 'IDK maybe we should change the viewing schedule?')

What is dorama_watch? So glad you asked, gentle flist! It's a community where we can all watch Asian dramas together on a set schedule! I know that whenever I'm watching a drama, the one thing that makes me sad is the fact that I'm often watching them seasons/years after their intital airing and thus have no one to squee with about all the pretty people/cracky plots/adorable OTPs. This comm fixes that problem!

The comm will run two dramas at a time so you can watch one or both. One drama will be to watch and the other to rewatch but it doesn't matter if you've seen one or both. There will be a discussion/squeeage/etc post for each episode and member can post their icons/fanmixes/picspams/etc about any of the shows we're watching. It will be good times!

For the first round we decided to start with Nodame Cantabile and Love Shuffle. (Yes, the common thread is Tamaki Hiroshi. We're ok with that.) Once the comm has gotten off the ground we'll run nominations/polls to figure out what to watch next.

You guys know you want to join! I will love you forever! Don't think of this as peer pressure, think of this as an instant way to become cool because all the cool kids are doing it. :P

...Seriously though. Join!

So for the first time in Rutgers history we actually got the yesterday off. The WHOLE DAY. As in, all classes, not just evening classes. AND we have today off too. I think this must mean that Global Warming is winning or something, but I don't care because DAY OFF!

I was hoping and praying desperately to have tomorrow off because I have a presentation on Tuesday and I really didn't want to present. I praticed with my group on Sunday (during the terrible rain storm that soaked EVERYTHING I own. Water somehow snuck it's way into my snap iPod case and I have no idea how. I guess it was just like "MUST DESTORY THINGS!" But thankfully my sweet, sweet iPod is fine.) And this was me: "So Jayson Blair...bad...new york times....journalismisquotemuffinunethical!"

That's really not much of an exaggeration.

I did however do really productive things today. Like watch the last episode of the Pussycat Dolls search. (Don't judge me! You know you secretly watch that skanky show to. While singing Buttons into a brush and trying out your hoochiest dance moves....just me?)

Also I finally got to see Marie Antoinette. I know a lot of people didn't like the movie, and I guess can see why. But seriously? Why did there have to be plot when the movie was THAT PRETTY? Seriously. I'm saving the movie on my hd just so I can cap it and then recolor and picspam later. It was so pretty! I wanted to marry it and have a million of it's brightly colored, pastry babies.

The Virgina Tech shooting is really, really scary. I go to a big university, and honestly it's not hard for me to imagine that it could happen here at Rutgers. It makes me sad that people can have such darkness in themselves and feel like they have the right to take another person's life.

My heart and prayers really goes out to all the people affected by this tragedy. This is so sad, and scary and horrible. It makes me really sad about the state of the world.

On a less serious, more LJ-RIFIC note? WTF is up with my journal? Have you guys noticed that my journal loads really, really friggin SLOW?!

When I try to check my friend's page it literally takes like five minutes for it to load. That's weird right? Have any of you guys had the same problem? And how did you fix it? It's starting to get really, really annoying. I really want it to load faster but I have no idea how to get it to. Freakin' LJ!

Any help with that would be apperciated guys, really. I would love you forever and ever and ever! Isn't that prize enough for helping?
