It's him, it's Phantom of the Opera~

This Tuesday my class went on a trip to Warsaw. First we visited the head office of TVP and, well, it was a little disappointing. We didn't get to see anything too interesting. We saw a fragment of recording 'Jaka to melodia?', but it was hardly something that could be considered interesting (unless someone was bored to death or a masochist). And it happened to be recording of dancing part, no less. (So - no participants, no host, just repeated over and over dance and bored extras clasping as if it was the worst thing that had ever happened to them. And maybe it was, who knows)
Then, we went to Nowe Powązki. I liked it even though I left my jacket in the bus and had only my coat on and it was pretty cold. The guide's talk captured attention and he told us many interesting anecdotes. At first he treated us like some illiterate idiots, though - until out Polish teacher intervened and said that we were one of those reading teenagers. XD (Most of us, anyway) Can't really blame him, though - usually he probably has to deal with people that couldn't even afford their precious time to read 'Kamienie na szaniec', not to mention other books.
After visiting the cemetery we had some free time in Arkadia. I don't like shopping, but it wasn't too bad. And I managed to buy the next part of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire - A Storm of Swords. Or rather its half, because this particular book is split in two. (Which means that I have to pay twice). But ASoIaF is so great that I don't even mind it (much) <3
And then finally came time for the highlight of our trip - Phantom of the Opera in Roma. The hall was full and Ola who is interested in Polish musicals said that it was the first time she had ever seen it full. XD But because of that we couldn't change our cheap uncomfortable seats for something better and after the performance my back and legs hurt. XD As for the performance itself I really liked it. The music was captivating, the actors played well. Only some songs seemed a bit too long and there were almost no spoken lines - which is pretty rare even for musical. (At least I think so) Afterwards I just couldn't help but 'sing' some of the songs in the bus. XDD Of course, with lyrics adequately changed, which means I sang about e.g. PCV windows. Or Osram's bulbs. XD It was pretty successful day and I enjoyed it ^^
And thanks to Ola I have the OST~ (If anyone wants, I can upload some songs for you :)
Yesterday I finished reading Siewca wiatru by Kossakowska which I had borrowed from Kasia. I must admit that I'd been rather skeptical - as I usually tend to be wary of Highly Recommended By Everyone Super ExtraMomoshirou Special Bestsellers. But I liked it and think that it's fairly good. I'd never once during reading found it 'OMG! So great11!!1', though. Not my type of book, I guess.
But I have just started reading my new shiny A Storm of Swords and I already love it.Biased much? XD
A few words about my half-way point ball. It's on 15 November. I already have a dress (my mom's - it just barely fits her, so it's a little loose on me = it's just the right size XD). I don't have a partner, but quite a lot of the girls in my class don't have one, so I don't really care. What surprised me is that our - Kasia's and my - mutual friend who I haven't seen for quite a long time said to Kasia that it's a shame to go alone. Given that she is a rather independent person I though that she - of all people - wouldn't give a damn about something as petty as that. ...People change?
Day before yesterday I went to the dentist. It turned out that I have four(!) cavities. And it's as far from being a good thing as a thing like that can get. I've never been afraid of dentists and I'm certainly not going to develop such a fear now, but 4 teeth... It's going to cost a loooot of money and it's really not a good time for such expenditures. _^_
And if it wasn't enough
tsunami_pl isn't going to go on a trip to the capital city, so we're not going to meet in November. And I was really looking forward to it.
And I had to resign from buying that Satoumizu doujinshi.
I've returned to fangirling Ookiku Furikabutte. I had already re-read all translated chapters of the manga and re-watched the anime. It's the first time when I actually re-watched whole anime by myself and in time-span of only several school days, no less. Now that I saw and read it one more time I could finally focus on the characters. And now I'm able to tell apart most of the characters - even from the rival schools. ^^~ XD And I find myself noticing some (more or less) subtle interactions, details that I completely overlooked the first time. And actively seeking them as well. ^^
I have to say that I really like this title. <3 The artwork is more than weird, but you can can get used to it and when you do - even learn to appreciate it. And Oofuri's other aspects are really pleasant and enjoyable too and sort of refreshing. All characters are really likeable and most of all - they're really humane, normal - they seem just natural. And the relationships between them - love them, adore them <3 And the fact that the parents not only exist, but actually have some roles in the plot and that they even have their own personalities, that they're not just almost anonymous to readers stereotypical mother-figures - it's great.
My favourite chara would be Mihoshi's Kanou <3 And I'm really fond of Haruna, Abe, Junta, Kawai, Tajima, Hanai and have a soft spot for Akimaru. But I like - love - more or less every character.
Even Shinooka who is a truly likeable and realistic female character and you all know how hard it is to find a female chara that wouldn't be too sweet/stupid/tsundere etc.
Also, as I tend to be a rather spoiler-friendly person I orient what's going on in the newest chapters (and even have raws of them XD).
All in all, Oofuri is my not-so-new love <33 And I really wish there would be the second season. If a shit like Vampire Knight can get it, why not really good title as Oofuri?Because it is good?
Also, it's not something that one would like to admit, but I am sometimes a lurker of f!s. And that's why I even know about existence about book called Twilight - which I haven't read. But I somehow found its parody summary which - if it really mirrors the book's contents - gives a rather good impression just what kind of book Twilight is. (Tremendously bad, that is)

Date: 2008-11-01 01:42 pm (UTC)Ech, chciałam bardzo, żeby doszło do naszego spotkania, ale nie bardzo jestem w stanie ogarnąć, czemu ta wycieczka tyle kosztuje. Rodzice mówili nawet, żebym jechała, bo to nie jest jakiś ogromny problem, ale ja zrezygnowałam bardziej ze względów ideowych, niż finansowych. No i Ayka też nie jedzie, a z Klaudią jest ostatnio coś nie tak i nie wiem, czy potrafiłabym się z nią teraz porozumieć będąc osamotniona.
Ach, połowinki. Ja na swoje nie poszłam, bo akurat czas na wpłacanie pieniędzy wpasował się idealnie w termin jednej z wielu chorób, jakie przeszłam w zeszłym roku XD No mówi się trudno, jakoś specjalnie nie żałowałam czy coś. Ale za to idę jednak na tę śmieszną studniówkę. Sama i bardzo dobrze. Widzę same plusy tej sytuacji i nie uważam jej za żaden wstyd. zresztą, nawet nasza wychowawczyni powiedziała, że najlepiej będzie, jak pójdziemy sami XD
Moźe ja też kiedyś zrobię sobie powtórkę z Oofuri? Może tym razem obejrzałabym sumiennie wszystkie mecze w całości XD (Brzmi podejrzanie jak z Prince of Tennis XD).
Przeczytałam kiedyś w Empiku dwa pierwsze rozdziały tego śmiesznego Zmierzchu, jak dowiedziałam się, że coś takiego istnieje, ale nie byłam zachwycona. Za to nabijam się teraz z Ayki, której prezentacja maturalna ma mówić o najpopularniejszych lekturach współczesnej młodzieży i w związku z tym będzie czytała tę grafomańską książkę XD

Date: 2008-11-01 02:06 pm (UTC)A jaka impreza to była?
Odbijemy to na Mokonie - nie zostawię Cię w spokoju. XD Ale drogo jakoś to Wam strasznie wyszło. Co jeszcze mieliście zwiedzać?
Nie no, ja idę, choć co tam będę robić, to pojęcia nie mam. XD Biorąc pod uwagę to, że nie lubię i nie umiem tanczyć. XD (Przynajmniej się najem xD) I fajnie, że jednak idziesz na studniówkę. ^^ I postawa też dobra ;) W szkole macie czy w jakiejś sali?
Zrób~ I najlepiej zabierz się za mangę, bo w anime wycięli kilka naprawdę fajnych scenek. W ogóle, przy drugim oglądaniu animca + wcześniejszym czytaniu mangi i powtórzeniu tej lektury naprawdę dostrzega się rzeczy, których wcześniej się zupełnie nie zauważało - np. osobowści poszczególnych postaci. XD Za pierwszym razem tyle baseballu tam było, że zupełnie mi to poumykało, a teraz nawet rozpoznaję już większość postaci. <3 A że są świetne, to cóż.... XD Ale meczy lepiej nie przewijaj - w nich też jest sporo smaczków (slashogennych i nie tylko), a za drugim razem nawet niekiedy rozumiałam, co tam się dzieje. XD
Czyli to jednak jest gniot? Ja bym się pewnie nigdy nie zorientowała, że takie "dzieło" istnieje, gdyby nie f!s, gdzie wciąż to wałkują.
Zaczynam myśleć, że Ayka jest masochistką. XD Fuj, taki temat. XD

Date: 2008-11-01 02:36 pm (UTC)Mmm, Ekstaza~ (wybacz, musiałam XD).
Poszliśmy z grupą znajomych na rocznicę otwarcia naszego ulubionego pub'u. Chciałam wtedy wrócić do domu przez 23, skoro następnego dnia rano wyjeżdżaliśmy do tego Słupska. W związku z tym wypiłam moje trzy piwka stanowczo za szybko i to skończyło się raczej marnie ^^; W każdym razie, nigdy więcej XD
No ja mam nadzieję, że na Mokonie nadrobimy! :D A w planie wycieczki, z tego, co wiem, był jeszcze Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego. Sam nocleg też wypadł godzieś pod Warszawą, bo w samym mieście nie było już miejsc. Nie wiem w takim razie, czemu tak drogo.
No wyobraź sobie, że u nas przed tą studniówką, matki kłócą się, czy na imprezie ma być podany żurek czy rosół. Rany, rzeczywiście jest to największy problem XD A impreza ma się odbywać w sali (a właściwie salach) browaru. Podłoga naszej hali gimanstycznej nie wytrzymałaby pod ciężarem tylu osób, ale na pewno z powodzeniem wszyscy byśmy się zmieścili i byłoby jeszcze miejsce do tańca.
O, no to dobra, wezmę się za mangę w takim razie. Już jakiś czas temu o tym myślałam, a teraz będzie dobry moment.
Ja przy czytaniu tych dwóch pierwszych rozdziałów zwróciłam tylko uwagę, że autorka ma styl pisania bardziej adekwatny do fanfików, niż do książek. Ale co jakiś czas trafiałam na informacje o kiszkach fabularnych i cieszyłam się, że ja tego nie czytam.
Taa, ona jest masochistką i to większą ode mnie XD

Koniecznie <3 Ja bym się bardzo chciała do M. Powstania wybrać, ale jakoś nigdy nie ma okazji. _^_ Może jakoś benzyna strasznie podrożała, kto wie? (Albo sobie przewodnicy warszawcy sporo liczą)
No co Ty gadasz, Tsu, to przecież niesamowicie ważna sprawa! Prawie jak Szekspir normalnie. XD Co mi przypomina - w naszej szkolnej darmowej gazetce w recenzji "Mroczny Rycerz" został określony jako "niesamowicie fantastyczny". Czemu nie na odwrót, ja się zastanawiam. No u nas właśnie salka jest mikroskopijna (i wiecznie brudna), ale się ludzie upierają, żeby tam studniówka była.
Warto ^^ Do kreski szybko się przyzwyczaisz, a potem jest już z górki~ I te podteksty~ XD
Zakładam, że nie masz na myśli fanfików autorek typu yuki_scorpio? XD Jak ja sobie podczytuję to streszczonko to się cieszę, że mi do głowy nie wpadło, żeby się zabierać za tę pozycję. XD
XD Bierze na warsztat też wspaniałe książki z serii typu "Nie dla mamy, nie dla taty, lecz dla każdej małolaty"? XD

Date: 2008-11-01 01:43 pm (UTC)You know, I envy you, I went to Warsaw with some friends recently and they got to see the Phantom of the Opera while I didn't have tickets and had to wait for them elsewhere D:
I really like this icon XD
no subject
Date: 2008-11-01 02:12 pm (UTC)Ah, you know, my class wanted to go to see it and we had to arrange it several months ago - it's rather hard to get tickets for it.
But I really like musicals ♥
Have you ever seen some other musical live?
And you live in Gdańsk, no?
I can understand why. XD I want some icon with Kanou too.... Have to find something nice XD
no subject
Date: 2008-11-01 06:18 pm (UTC)Well, my friends arranged it in April and I joined them later, so I had to wait. Unfortunately I haven't.. Yes, I do, well, not in Gdańsk itself but in a small neighbouring town, but I guess it counts as Gdańsk since I go to school there and it's fifteen minutes from here to the centre of Gdańsk without traffic jams
Gettttt oneeeeee~~~<3333

Date: 2008-11-02 03:08 pm (UTC)You should go and see one some time, then ^^ It's really fun.
Not as big as probably watching tenimyu would be, but fun nevertheless. XDBut not in Buffo because even though there are some nice performances the cheaper seats are crappy and you don't get to see much. And more expensive seats are expensive XDI'm going to~ The problem is once I get to searching some nice icon I spend hours on it and I end up saving (too) maaaaany icons. XD

Hm, nawet udana była, dużo łażenia, telewizja była nudna, a siedzenie na przystawkach podczas Upióra cholernie niewygodne, ale fajnie spędziłam ten dzień. ^^ (Choć jak zwykle - mogło być lepiej xD)

And I don't read it daily, but from time to time I just sit down and spend quite a long time on reading entries. XD
