Ann: "Wow, that's a neat layout."

Me: "It's Lilack's, of course"

Ann: "Of course."

... this being your previous mecha layout, Lilack-san, but of course ALL your layouts are stunning, and your newest is quite lovely. Houshin Engi is one of the rare shows that I saw before Ann did, and yet she still likes it more than I do. (shrug)

About the Kenshin OAV's, they seem to be "flashbacking" to the Enishi arc, as in the very beginning of the OAV Yahiko is all grown up and Hiko is teaching Kenshin's /son/ the art of the sword. Odd, that. You sound like a fantastic RP'er. I never got into it much, no good DM's, although I have a great story about a cup full of lava I kept pouring on my foot and my opponent with 1 hitpoint who finally stabbed himself to death... after that amazing debacle, I stuck to playing the giant knight who just cleaved things.

Whee! I went to see "Black Hawk Down" and bought myself a cute goldfish at 1 a.m. He's happily swimming around now in his new bowl. Of course the movie was great and of course all the Guardians were avidly enjoying the show, action movie freaks. It's a pretty nice adrenaline rush of a movie, I'll leave the social commentary aspect to someone else, although I have to say seeing a preview for a Vietnam movie directed by Randall "Braveheart" Wallace was a little less than heartening. I mean, between "Apocalypse Now," "Platoon," and "Full Metal Jacket" what is there left to say?

Ann has "Strictly Ballroom," and I finally got the "Moulin Rouge" DVD. Mmmm uninterrupted dance routine segements... so nice.

Luny? China!? Cool!!! You go on with your bad self!!! : D

Ooh, Flidgie has a map of the Underground! Oooh. I got one of those as a fabric wall hanging from Ann's parents when they went to England (hugs her wall hanging). I always thought it was such a cool graphic design. ... and silly Flidgie, I was the one who was afraid to bother you! I was expecting to hear "Silly little writer, I shall have none of you, as I am busy bringing beautiful chibis forth from the ether."

Wind-san, I don't know if I can really reccommend SSX Tricky, as I'm pretty sure it is the most addictive substance known to man. Heather and I both continue to rave about it, even though the PS2 is long gone from the room... I think if Ann had introduced it to us before she left, we would have found a way to keep her from graduating, if it meant stealing every blue book and multiple-choice form on campus.

I swear, someday I'm just going to sleep on Ragabash-san's porch until I learn how to do such spectacular glowy effects. I think the current DNAngel layout is my favorite so far, and that's saying a lot when they're all so awesome. It's just... so... pretty.

Tsai, liked the short timed story. Do you ever do impromptu poetry slams in chat rooms? It's sort of the same thing... I usually lose serious poems halfway because I can't stop making a joke, but they're really fun with the right group of people.

... and the real reason I can blog even slightly well when drunk? I make lists, lots and lots of lists for the post of everything I want to say. It's my organizational style, lists and piles... which usually results in piles all over the house that eventually topple over when I forget to work on them, and piles of lists of shorthand notes that no longer make sense to me. X D

Writing pr0n... hee. All the characters in my head used to get randy when I had a really boring class... so Economics was always more fun than it ever should have been. No wonder I did so badly, I spent half the hour in my own thoughts, chasing my characters around with a ruler trying to get them to keep their hands to themselves. "Remember, no matter what a character tells you, there is No Sex in the Econ Class... none."

No manga... no manga yet for me. I really really want my Chobits and World End FairyTale! He just turned evil, damn it! I need to know what happened to my cute evil boigirl and my winged sleepyhead!!!

Thank you Spooky. Petra won't let me take Placebo's "Mars Landing Party" off the playlist. (... for the reason why, just download the song and then look up the translation of the lyrics... >.< ) Hee.

Also, I got Spooky's first skin done, and I think it's really really really cool. I'm a little bit annoyed by the white space at the top and the blankness of the seeking bar, but usually when I mess with that stuff I feck up the whole skin, so for right now it stays as is. It's such a good picture, I can't wait to start working on the next skin made out of her excellent art.

Corporate Mecha would be such a good idea, me and Joe decided. It would be like Nascar, only with more intentional explosions. Starbucks Gundam... Wal-Mart Macross... McMecha. Oh yeah.

Band names this time around... Spooky contributes Decadent Nipples, and I've got Powdercow, Undertoe and UnGodly Thing. I think one of those or more might be someone else's idea but I can't remember anymore.

Also, at work today, a girl brought out this book on castles... and she found a Scottish castle called "Castle Doofus."

My Supervisor: "Oh yes, we'll live there. I want a moat filled with pudding. The castle can be haunted by the ghost of Peter Sellers."

My fish has no name.

I was gonna do mail today, I swear... but with work and this new Anne Tyler book I was reading, I got... distracted? (sheepish grin)
