Do You Love Tokyo it's another mailing list. Much fun. ^_^
13x5 Mailing List yes, I know, this is really a terrible thing. -_- However, it's the only place (group-wise, not individual ^^;;) where I got GOOD feedback for my GW fic! Hence - they are now my friends. *dark cackle*
Leareth
Velvet Paws - new!
Lilack (down temporarily. Wah! ;_;)
Favorite Sites
Behold: The Void
Slavery Taryn has a GREAT site - lots of Tokyo Babylon, excellent fanfiction, and you MUST see her desktops!
Ueno ParK EXCELLENT Tokyo Babylon site! So much stuff to go through... ^_^Y
Slayers Hamlet Manga - this makes for GREAT stress relief. ^_^;;
Teach Yourself Japanese - a wonderful site with hiragana and katakana charts, games, info on verbs - lots of Nihongo goodness. ^_^
Jim Breen's Japanese Dictionary - my personal favorite online Nihongo dictionary, but it's only good for you if you can read hiragana and katakana.
Jeffrey's Japanese-English Dictionary another good one - and this one is all in English letters, so it's easier to read. ~_^
Yay! She's back! Lilack is back online! *cheers wildly*
So's Leareth, who was away camping. And oi, dear - you have NO idea how much you're loved, methinks. *chuckles with Taryn*.
Oi - I'm alive. ^^;; And madly busy.... I barely have time to function right now. Seems that my time comes and goes in waves... LOTS of free time, or NO free time. >_<
Anyway, new blog! It's Kunika's, the girl who did that MARVELOUS Chive for me for Dominion: Reprise. She's working on a new domain! Whee!
And now... off I go to bed. *waves tiredly and stumbles away*
*pauses to point out that Tokyo Babylon is still just about the best thing she's ever read* *continues on to bed*
........ so I lied.
But THIS was the perfect way to get over FY and it's madness. (MADNESS, I tell you... MAAAAAAAADNESSsssssssssss.....) G'wan. Check it out. ^^;; It's stupid - but I was in the MOOD for stupid, you know? ~_^
*repeatedly bangs head on desk* Okay. I'm going to bed now. Really, I am. But....
Mi.....aa.....kaaaaaaaaaaaa....
*resumes banging head on desk*
*yup, still watching Fushigi Yuugi*
*screams bloody murder* SHE ISN'T! I MEAN SHE WASN'T! AND... oooooooh, Yui.... *snarls and brandishes claws*
OOOOOOOH, Nakago, you bastard...
BASTARD.
Did I mention Nakago was a bastard?
Okay. I know I should be in bed. I should. This is a hellish work-week. BUT...but....BUT....
*points with shaky hand* NAKAGO IS A BASTARD!! And... and... he SO deserves to be in my fic!!! I had NO idea how much he did - I just had a feeling, sure but I didn't know how BAD he was...
This guy's on par with Akio. @_@ And THAT is saying something.
And now I shall continue not-going to bed and being VERY bad and watching Fushigi Yuugi and cursing under my breath at Nakago because if I get caught awake and online at this hour my hide will be used for sailboats. ^^;;
Only have time for a QUICK note, hence, I shall make it important.
Ahem.
Should this worry me?
Woo, this is just more fun than any one person should have. ^_^
Just got back from the Expo, at which I'm having a BLAST... sat in on a fanfiction forum this time, as well as a karaoke competition. And somebody recognized me - as in, the REAL me. @_@ I met Natalie, who runs Firecat Fanfics - one of the pages on the Good Fanfiction Webring! She recognized my screen name and approached me, which was quite fun. ^_^ Her weblog - to which I am linking - can be found here. Fun!
Isa today went as Satsuki from X. She put on a full-body cat suit with some very nice boots - and got hit on all day long. :p That must've been fun. No, really. *cough* *gag*
Yesterday - as I sort of blurted a bit - we saw LOTS of anime. We watched some of Kenshin (one of the OVA's - don't ask me which; we got in at the end >_<), some of Angel Sanctuary VERY badly dubbed (not that the storyline could have gotten any weirder... @_@), the first few minutes of Perfect Blue (which was neither subbed nor dubbed - we had to admit defeat and leave ^_^;), and X the movie. And that, in my opinion, was the pinnacle of the night.
My review: It is GORGEOUS. Visually perfect, beautiful - one of the BEST CG/animation combinations I have EVER seen in my life. The music is creepy and appropriate and... gah. I can't get over how beautiful it is.
The storyline, however...
Suffice it to say that CLAMP seemed to have two goals in mind with this: 1. change EVERYTHING - so we have things like Kamui getting his sword first, Kotori having one of the swords, a random new dragon of earth that NObody's ever seen before and is very slimy... everybody dies, many of the characterizations are different (can we say anti-matter Kusanagi? @_@), and we actually have a Kamui with a backbone and a proactive Hinoto.
2. Seishirou and Subaru have nothing to do with X. At all.
At least, so the movie would have us believe. ^^;; Subaru DIES right off the bat, and then Seishirou just... disappears. *chuckles* Personally, I think he ran for Tahiti.
Grabbed his tree and BOOKED out of there.
Oi... quite mind bending, etc., but now that I have it in my head... ooooooooooooooh WANNA WRITE!!! I'm going to have to do more of my wee X fic ASAP. *chuckles* Of course, the moment 17 comes out (or I even READ 16, probably) I'll immediately realize what utter crap it is and have to redo it - but for now, let me have my fun. :p
And I have babbled SO much and it's time to go to bed - tomorrow we go ALL DAY!! WOO!! And Sunday, too - except for church, which I don't mind. ^_^
And did I mention the karaoke contest? I am SO going to be in that next year... wheeeeeeeheehee!! ^_^Y
