It's even colder tonight. The field behind our house that the full moon made look like ice last night, may well be ice tonight. I find the cold oddly inspirational, but it'll be bad for crops if we get snow... Not that my family has crops, but 2 of our neighbors are vineyards...

That's it Zoe! Just say "shupid!" Oasis won't recognize you as a camel! Stop hiding in the closet and think of it already! Sometimes I still don't know whether or not to be grateful to the Pocky Pimp for getting me hooked on Sluggy Freelance. Well, I can hope that this story arc will bring Torg and Zoe back together... And I want the nice Aylee back! Of course, I also want a plush Bun-bun, but that's not likely to happen...

Anyway, my inspiration didn't do me any particular good tonight. I have so many ideas, that I can't pick out just one idea to work with... Should I write TxT to make Leareth and myself -- and starved English-speaking TxT fans everywhere -- a little happier? Should I work w/ neglected characters like Hakushaku and Watoson first? Should I appease the ravenous listmaster of the MuTsu ML (gomen, Eike-san...no offense meant!)? Should I go with the AU, the pseudo AU -- the comic or the serious? And look at how long the Laby fic's been waiting...

Ho-hum... In lieu of my own labor, I shall make yet another offering of findings from Japanese webpages!
Tsu-chan and kumo (the other kind).
I don't think they're looking at the cake...
Hee-hee...TxT...^__^
Are? Tsu-chan works at Tokyo Disneyland?
Tsuzuki in priest get-up.
Product endorsement? Sold!
I want a Tatsumi doll, too!
Nice Tsu pic...if you ignore the English... ^__^
Tatsumi!
Byakko!
Tatsumi & Tsuzuki!
From the book world!
Tatsumi again!
Touda!(and then some!!) =D~~
Suzaku nee-san to Tsuzuki! (chou-kawaii!)
Tsuzuki, over and over again!!
Those cute crow-guardian guys! (er...whatever)
Happy 003! (You'll see why...^__^)
Touda and Tsu-chan!
TatsTsu again!!
!!!!

OHOHOHOHO!

Now, I just need to be evil to those damn sex fiends who keep hitting my blog, with search queries like: "youngest sister sex in stories and pictures," "sexxx image baby," and the people who keep coming here for spankings! They're probably middle-aged men looking for free kiddie-pr0n (tokubetsuna mIRC-style)! They deserve nothing better than to see 2 biseinen locked in a passionate embrace! Next blog layout's going to get a little cozier! Should I use that image TxT dj image I posted on here? ^___^ Let those ass-wipes searching for fake-breasted women to objectify and spank to find 2 guys instead (tastefully portrayed, of course)! Mwahahaha!


"They don't look like Presbyterians to me!"

Current soundtrack: Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake...

Gyaaa! The weather sucks here! It was raining all morning, it hailed in the early afternoon, and 44 degrees F was as warm as it got all day! At least it cleared up by evening, and left a beautiful sky, lit my the full moon.

And, the full moon possessed me. It finally got me inspired, and I wrote something!
Do you get to see it?
Well, if someone checks their email, they can look at it, and give me a little feedback. ^__^ Everyone else can wait until I'm ready...

Well, I say I was possessed by the moon, because it's centered around a character the feminist inside me hates: Oriya. But, it was a fic idea that's been in my head for a while. Anyway, the look of the moonlight while I was feeding the dog, inspired imagery -- assisted by reading Patricia McKillip -- and it somehow evolved into the missing beginning of this fic idea (I don't even know why it was that fic, out of the score of ideas, older and newer). Well, it's post-Kyoto arc, Oriya POV, and titled "Orpheus."

And, since I've mentioned her, I must plug her: read books by Patricia McKillip! She's wonderful! Her prose is beautiful and her characters appealing. She's also a great story-teller. I've loved her since I frist read the Riddle-Master trilogy in middle school (which is when I really got into fantasy and started reading authors like Mercedes Lackey...who I feel got all commercialized and sucky, while McKillip got even better). Ah...her books just make me feel like I've dreamed myself into a world of magic...
...
She makes me babble a bunch of crap, doesn't she? No matter -- read her books anyway! ^__^

In other news, I'm not going to see "The Count of Monte Cristo" in the theaters. My brother saw it and the first thing he asked me was: "how does it really end?" (He hasn't read the book and knows I have)
Yep. They completely changed the ending and deleted some important characters and took out relevent plot points and changed how major events occurred... No Haydee, no Caderousse, no Maximillien and Valentine... They Hollywood-ized it ;.;
So, I just won't pay to see it in theaters, since they gave the title of one of my favorite books to a movie that's almost completely different (I mean, "Clueless" is more like Jane Austen's "Emma" than this is to its original...)

In less bitchy-moany news...
Kyaaaaa!!! (happy shriek) My second oldest sister is visiting with her baby! Ah! My niece is so cute! She's even cute when she's pitching a fit because she only wants her mommy to hold her and won't even let her leave the room to use the toilet. She loves my kimono Hello Kitty doll, and pulling my hair. My sister doesn't have long hair, so she thinks that mine is a great toy! But she's still sooooo cute! I just can't feel upset when she's in a room.

^___^ *niko niko niko*


cheese me!

What is it with strange clubs on Japanese YamiMatsu pages? First, I notice a "Gary Love" (or something like that) club on one of the sites I have bookmarked -- it's a Gary Oldman fan club... Then, on a new site that I was looking at, I find "Sirius/Remus." -.-; Wasn't I just going on about this? Is no male friendship sacred? Most Disney characters (I'm not counting Timon and Pumba...if there's that kind of fiction for them, I don't want to hear about it...and I think whoever wrote it should seek therapy) have more sexuality than Harry Potter characters...

Well, I scanned my newest doujinshi. I can use my scanner again, which makes me happy. The one on the family computer may be faster, but it makes a horrible high-pitched noise (and high-pitched noises really bug me...I can hear some really high-pitched sounds that most people can't, and they make me physically sick). I got interrupted less than half-way through, by my nephew asking me to fix him Macaroni and Cheese... Then, after I thought I was all done, I went back to look at the files, and the last 11 or so didn't get saved properly, so I had to rescan them... If I'm feeling generous, I might make them a "special preview" for the foo...er, people who actually look at this blog. ^_^ *niko niko*

Ho-hum... Listening to anime music... Listening to the image song (or whatever) from the X series... I can't believe someone likes the Fuuma version of Yakusoku better than the Kamui version. Not that Kamui's seiyuu is a super singer, but he hits the notes truer than Fuuma's seiyuu. And the lurics are more suited to the slower, softer version...

Speaking of singing problems... The theme song from FFX finally grew on me, but I still think it suffers from the same problem as the Armageddon song: great song, but crappy singer. The song is beautiful, the lyrics are lovely, but why'd they pick Rikki? She can't sing. It's like she's trying to sing like a little girl, but she just comes across as having a weak voice, that she forces to be breathy... At least she hits most of the notes and sounds okay in "Sutaki da ne," but the C/W songs... The vocal version of Aerith's beautiful theme -- her voice cracks so many times, I get ill listening to it... And the song "Moon" -- it just sucks, and makes me think of Mary Poppins, cause I swear she's singing "Yoo-Halloo." How did FF vocals go from Risa Ohki (Pray and Love Will Grow albums), Faye Wong (woo-hoo, Eyes on Me!), and Emiko Shiratori (a lot of people didn't like Melodies of Life, but at least she's got a good voice), to Rikki?

Oi, Leareth! You ever consider keeping copies of emails you've sent? First, I have to have all the parts of our fic-a-ma-jiggie (no, that's not the new name for it), now I have to send something back? =P~ Well, you should like it. Hm...you could call it "Keep Away."

Anyway...as I said before, the dj is scanned, I just need to put it somewhere. I know you'll love it! It has cuteness, sweetness, a little angst, a little silliness, non-graphic sex, snuggling, no OOC "I love you"'s, no pushy seme...and most of all, it's TxT! Oh, I can't resist! I'll put up the first page temporarily. You'll love the doujinshi immediately just from this!
It says (veeeery rough translation): "What's precious is"
"being with you"
"looking at you"
"feeling you..."

Ah...I feel good! *heart*

Ehehehe.... Where have I been? Well, I got sucked in by an evil plot, then I was travelling with the family, then I just got lazy for a few days... Anyway, I archived that huge build-up, and am now making this meaty entry!

Um, yeah, the evil plot was that my brother loaned me his Harry Potter books, and I got sucked in completely against my will... Well, at least it allows some interesting conversations. We all (my sister read all of them, too) are decidedly against HP slash. The kids are kids, and the adults are not that interesting to pair up... And then we brought in Dumbledore... and I suppose we would be attacked by sensitive fans for saying that he'd need to cast "Wingadium leviosa," (that was me) or "Accio erection!" (that was my evil twin -.-;) due to his age...

Ahem, anyhoot, the San Diego Zoo was nice, and the day before that I got in lots of DDR at my nephew's b-day party (hey, who knew there was a 4th mix in this town?). Too bad the "hotel" we stayed at sucked (and they stuck us in a smoking room! geh!).

Oh, and the weekend before that, I went to see Lord of the Rings again, and it was packed! Weeks after it opened and the Sunday matinee is still packed! We had to sit in the very front row (and I can't slouch for 3 hours!).

Let's see...anything else to bitch and moan about? Oh yes, the TV show 24: kyaaa! Things are gonna get a lot worse before they get better... And why oh why did they have to have Quentin Tarantino as a guest star on Alias? We're all rooting for Sydney to at least break his windpipe, so he'll shut up!

Hm... Not a good idea to listen to Tchaikovski's Romeo and Juliet while reading TxT fanfiction...it gives you strange ideas...especially when you get to a particulalry sweet part in the story just as the love theme comes in... Oh, and speaking of Tatsumi, one Japanese site had a "Tatsumist quiz." Is this you Leareth: "Even if you were to die, you wouldn't step on your volume 5 cover?" (rough translation) Oh yeah, and I'm still thinking of a title for our "bathrobe fic" -- I just got distracted... And one last thing: WHAT are you DOING writing TsuzukixHisoka? I might read it, just because you wrote it, but I won't be excited! =P~

Hmmm... a movie of The Count of Monte Cristo. Should I be happy? I can already see (from previews) changes made to my favorite Alexander Dumas work (that I recently reread) to make it more Hollywood-suitable... Oh well, it can't possibly be worse than "The Musketeer." Only good thing about that movie was Tim Roth.

And now for some selections from Japanese websites:
Oh! Racy WatarixTsuzuki!
"Let's play!" Tsuzuki says. tte...kore wa moshikashite TsuxWa? Hoeee!
Of course, some "rabu rabu" TxT!
tte nani kore? SouryuxTsuzuki? Where they get that idea?
Ufufufu...Tsu-usagi ^__^
Sexy Tsuzuki! Eheh...if you look closely, you'll see why this was put in the "basement" of the site...
More TxT!
Sexy Tsuzuki...this time w/ no naughty extras...
Take it off! Take it all off!
Hidoi! Let Tsu-chan eat his ice cream, Sensei!

Oh, and this was part of an insert ad for 2002 calendars in one of my new Trigun Maximum volumes... Does it make anyone else think bad thoughts? (and it's official art...)

Kyuu... And strange search engine hits continue... Sorry, I only scan my YnM dj's... I don't even own any for Noir of Cowboy Bebop... No DDR 6th mix mp3's here... Definitely no lemons or "sexxx image baby!" Honestly! What's with people?
