Thanksgiving & Crappy Movies

[blodeuedd]

Thanksgiving Starts Tomorrow At 3:00

Me: stuffing, something desserty, meatballs
Kimberly: fried okra, ham
Eda: samosas and chicken skewers (satay)
Kira: vegetables and dip
Tiffany: vague potatoes
Lindsay (arriving later): drinks and something dessertish
Emily (not physically present): the spirit of pie
Marianne: (drinks?)
William: ?

We still need bread, crackers, cheese, maybe more drinks.

Last night, I spent some quality time at Daiso*, then got myself a half-bottle of good wine, promising myself a nice evening of relaxation after doing some much-needed tidying up. I'd originally planned to do productive stuff for an hour or so, or not past 9, but then it was after 10 by the time I finally finished cooking (I cooked! VICTORY IS MINE!) and settled in. Hmmm, what to watch? I skimmed through my [enormous] folder of unwatched movies and shows, thinking I wanted to watch something light, and randomly picked Kindan no Koi.

Oh, the lols! I wasn't expecting much (it's a BL myuvie, so...), but it actually provided even more amusement than I'd hoped for. As in, I nearly spit out a mouthful of wine at the final dramatic moment when the Jealous Character resorts to violence.

Reasons You Should (or Shouldn't) Watch This:

- 2nd-string myu-boys, i.e. the not so hot ones (there's the Atsushis from tenimyu, and the main guy is... I can't be bothered to look him up, but he's got a Nose);

- the budget allowed for exactly five actors: the main guy, his boss, the boss's two sons, and the manager;

- camera angles carefully orchestrated so that the actors never actually have to touch lips, it just vaguely looks like they might be kissing;

- the most ridiculous-looking writhing from a guy who is supposedly about to give head to another guy;

- the only female presence in the movie is a dress form, which makes no sense because the main character is a designer -- of men's shirts;

- the love interest being deceived by a bad photoshopping job (yes, seriously!);

- the world's most obvious spycam ever, which the stupid character never noticed in spite of the fact that it's sitting in the middle of a bouquet of flowers on his desk, inches from his nose;

- an ending almost as ridiculous as the one in Boy's Love, falling short only because it doesn't involve carting a dead body across Tokyo;

- it'll only waste and hour and ten minutes of your time!

There's also incestuous desire, if that's your thing, and an obligatory pool scene or two, and an evil megane character who smirks and leers and seduces the two teenaged brothers. So yeah, it was silly as hell, but somehow (maybe it's the wine talking) it came out more amusing than painful for me.

* BECAUSE KICHIJOUJI HAS A DAISO ONCE AGAIN! *unreasonably happy about this* It's the swankiest-looking 100en shop I've ever been in. It seriously doesn't look like one at all, what with the pretty lighting and the nice layout. Oh, and Eda, they have half an aisle of fake eyelashes! :D (No coloured ones, though, I think)

...You know, in all my "get it the fuck away from me" feeling about tenimyu, I forgot the simple joy of how amazingly bad myuvies are.

I need to go to this Daiso stat.

I guess I now have something to do today -- go to Kichijouji! (but not for the eyelashes, obviously)

I have no idea what to bring to Thanksgiving. James says he might come "but has lots of stuff to do". If you tell me what to bring though, I might be able to cook something exciting in time.

I know, right? They're so stupid, I can't help but want to watch more. And thankfully, none of them last much over an hour, usually! XD

They've got lots of cute kitchen stuff as well. ^.^

If you want to do some actual cooking, something with vegetables would be good. And as I mentioned above, we haven't got any bread yet.

I've purchased potatoes, and also got some little activities and games from the Daiso for our (possible) amusement. :P I can pick up bread etc. (or whatever might be needed at that point) at the supermarket near your place if no one else does, so let me know if so. I also might bring carrots, depending on how much space I have in my bag and whether or not it's raining (thus making it more difficult to juggle multiple bags + umbrella :P).

Oh, and by the way - I think I remember the name of your bus stop, but I can't remember the bus number. >_< Could you refresh my memory? m(__)m

PS: I don't know if people would be interested in this or not, but when I was at Daiso (hallowed be its name), I got a blank puzzle and some markers. I thought that if people were game, we could each decorate a bit of it as a sort of Canadian Thanksgiving memento, and then...ya know. Take it apart and try to put it back together again, like puzzles are supposed to work. :P But if that's far too dorky, I can keep it for my own amusement instead. ^_~

I am indeed a purveyor of booze! Red wine again? What else?

I can probably supply some cheese/crackers as well.

DAISO!

[umbrellaofdoom.livejournal.com]

Can I bring the spirit of something too? The spirit of my slow cookered chicken will be there. :)

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

That's a really cute idea! Briiiiiing iiiiiiiit! :D

And it's bus #2, near OIOI. Text me if you need extra directions! ^_^

IAWTC XD

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'm kind of tempted to look up mulled wine recipes, though it's not really chilly enough for that kind of thing yet... *eyes Google*

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

All right, I'll keep a lookout for ghostly chickens. XD
