( Heroes 4.07 Strange Attractors )

Sorry not much of an update here I'm afraid. I think I'm addicted to tweeting but I won't neglect my LJ no worries XD

A small list

- Muse's new album The Resistance. Uprising is so catchy and funky. I already pre-ordered a copy because orchestra + rock or symphonic rock = yes please. I really am getting into this band. I might purchase their HAARP cd/dvd album. Can totally see how these guys get nominated for best live act awards. They just fill up the arenas. Definitely a band to see live with my own eyes when I get the chance.

- Anette Olzon's solo album. Of course I'm eager for Nightwish's new album when it comes out next year but anything with Anette I'm very open to. Check out her official blog btw. It's fun to read. She updates a lot :)

- A week off from work next month. Still planning on a city break somewhere in Europe.

- Heroes season 4. It's going to be as cracky as Torchwood. I smell it but I hope the crack will not make me go 'head meet desk' too often and not baffle my weak brain with the wtf-ness that the second part of season 3 did.

- Supernatural season 5. If this is the last season I will see it to the very end. What will happen to our beloved Winchester boys?

is there any non iTunes prog that is free and doesn't require administrator privileges on your computer?

Heroes vol 5 trailer was crazy. So Claire and that new girl are going to please the f/f fans. But my main excitement is from seeing Robert Knepper in the trailer. Still got the T-Bag presence which is a plus :D I am going to be keeping my eye on him throughout the series screencapping a lot if I have the chance lol. Hope they keep him for most of the season. I haven't read spoilers as I no longer follow the Heroes comms as much as I used to because the fandom makes me want to poke myself like hell. James Kyson Lee linked to a short trailer of vol 5 on his Twitter and I saw Ando with a Japanese girl. Is that Hiro's Nee-san?! Not that I'm fussed. Ando does need love after all!!

List 10 of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, and if they're so inclined, to draw conclusions about you based on the patterns they've spotted.

1) Kino Makoto (Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon)
2) Shinomori Aoshi (Rurouni Kenshin)
3) Sakurazuka Seishirou (Tokyo Babylon, X)
4) Niki Sanders (Heroes)
5) Masahashi Ando (Heroes)
6) Buffy Summers (Buffy)
7) Gwen Cooper (Torchwood)
8) Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)
9) Sam Winchester (Supernatural)
10) T-Bag (Prison Break)

There's more but I tried to think of characters I felt I had deeper thoughts on.

OMG how nice does the 2010 Nightwish calendar look? Tempted to get it *_* I bought a NW baseball shirt not too long ago from the Nightwish shop. They didn't have small or large size so I gambled and ordered the medium size. It ended up fitting just fine. The sleeves are tight though I imagine that's how the design is. Definitely want to wear this shirt when I go to a Nightwish gig of course.

Really want to free gig tickets in the meantime. Not having much luck!! >_>

Still haven't watched the finale yet...

If you're talking about chance encounters then I've never had that before. I've seen Dexter Fletcher while queuing up outside the now dead London Astoria to see Apocalyptica last Dec but I didn't say anything to him. As for conventions and signing sessions yep I have met a few people.

Examples of those who are memorable because I had a quick chat with them or they simply had presence are:

* Amber Benson @ Collectormania 14. She was super nice and appreciated my compliment on her new hairdo XD
* Dean Andrews @ Collectormania 14. Very chatty to all the fans who came to see him at said event. Took his time to get to know people. All round friendly guy so different to the Ray Carling character.
* Michael Rosenbaum @ Collectormania 14
* James Kyson Lee @ Collectormania 12. Still the coolest Heroes actor I've met by far. Had more things to talk with him :)
* Gary Barlow @ a signing session where he was promoting his autobiography in Waterstones, Oxford Circus branch.
* Nightwish @ a signing session in March 2008 in Zavvi, Tottenham Court Road branch. I got the band's autographs quickly because the security were rushing the fans to get their items signed.
