Spent time with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quebelly yesterday after my little camp outting. It was a beautiful park. I'm trying to convince Dad to rent us a cabin so we can spend a two nights out there or something. I can't remember the last time I went camping. If I did, it was probably with my cousin up in New Mexico. So peaceful.
Watched the ending episodes of Utena and finally started to understand a bit more about Akio and Anthy. I still feel bad for Dios, even though I feel worse for Anthy. The Utena movie, which is the only anime I've probably watch about 100 times. The rose garden scene and the amazing visuals always do it for me. Now I know Anthy and Utena get a happy ending and Akio falls out of a window so that makes things much better. But I'm a bit sad that Touga's dead and all. He was sweet in the movie. Someone still has to explain to me why everyone turns into cars.
Also watched some Buffy Season 6 and 7. I couldn't remember much about the episode where Buffy was in a mental institution so that one was pretty good and freaky. Dawn still needs to get slapped. Nice trick at the end with the slight hinting that everything might still exist in Buffy's whacked-out imagination. Don't really like Season 7 because of the Slayerettes and the Kennedy-bitch-whore, but "Potential" and "Touched" were good episodes. I always loved Xander's inspiration speeches. They bring tears to my eyes, unlike Buffy's gung-ho "We're Going to Win and Some of You May Die" ones. Can't believe I couldn't remember the beautiful Spike/Buffy moment in "Touched" with his "You're the one" speech. It's just so perfect. I wish I could write dialogue like that.
Still have to watch "Finding Neverland" before it has to go back. I'd play more Xenosaga II but my throat has been dead since concert. I've eaten nothing but losenges all day.
BTW, the Anakin/Asuran kiss in the camp is just what I've been waiting for. *waves flags* Good thing Asuran and Kira kinda made up too. They love each other too much to be angry with each other for long.

The cars!
Anyway, as to the cars, I always took it as having either one of two meanings, based on two points. For one, the movie it titled Adolescence Revolution. The other point is Akio's speech about a car rusting without it's key. I think the point was, that if you cannot escape the things in your past that haunt you, if you do not look to the future for the future, then you will never go anywhere. Utena was Anthy's key to escaping, and thus her vehicle for escaping. Shiori was a car yes, but she wanted to stop Anthy from getting away, had turned into a car just to show she could to, and ended up crashing. It's about breaking out of adolescence and into adult hood, breaking from the chains of the past to put you on the path for who you truly are and were meant to be.
Sorry you are feeling sick too, hope you feel better soon!
