Inuyasha (what else?)

I've had an 'Inuyasha' day today, I guess. I just watched The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass (the second movie) this afternoon for the first time, and have officially decided that it is the best movie ever (well, at least until I watch the movie "Love, Actually," again, which I have a habit of calling "the best movie ever" as well. And then there's "Gladiator," and "Pirates of the Caribbean," and the Kenneth Branaugh version of "Hamlet"...but still, it's *really* good...). Not only does it contain the famed kiss, but it also had numerous other excellent scenes as well (Inuyasha and Kagome arguing in a photo booth, for one), and kept the tension high throughout. I love it!!

Besides that, I found out today that my fanfic "Missing in Action" won second place for Best Romance on a relatively new website called Moushiyou. Cool, huh? And the one that won first was Terri Botta's "The Lucky Ones," which, though I've never read it (it got kicked off ff.net before I had a chance), is one that I've heard a *lot* of good things about. Not to mention, that one is finished (I believe), whereas MIA is only about half done (I'm sooo slow). By the way, any inufic readers out there who know where I could find "The Lucky Ones"? Or has it just disappeared altogether? Eh, I'll ask in my next Author's Note (since there'll probably be more people reading that than this...).

Finally, I discovered that, on that same website, Inuphoria (the owner of the site) has written a little blurb about my newest fic, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen." It's just a little Christmas Carol parody I'm working on to keep my brain from freezing on my bigger fics (since it's always easier to write a parody than an original AU), but I thought it was cool that someone actually liked it enough to mention it. (*grin*)

Well, tonight I'm going to see the movie "Phantom of the Opera," which looks exceptionally cool (maybe it'll even unseat Inu-chan from his precarious position as "best ever" from this afternoon, if it's good enough...we'll see). I love musicals with darkness and tension in them, like Les Miserables (which actually is my favorite musical of all time, for real this time. Maybe if I get into Steinhardt at NYU, I'll get to play Eponine one day. A girl can dream...), and Martin Guerre, and Rent (yes, yes, slightly different vein from the other two, but still, excellent show. Rock + Opera = what could be better?). Anyway, if I'm going to be ready in time to leave I'd better shut up and get going...TTFN
