Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

I did catch up Pushing Daisies. I'm loving Olive more than ever this season. So I guess that puts True Blood 5 on the list. I forgot to mention that I am shallow and I do love Eric. Mmm viking vampire. Then I'll either watch Black Butler today or watch both episodes tomorrow. As for why I'm transcribing my plans, it helps me remember.

I shared my notion of a writer's special crazy with Gabi yesterday. If you've been reading this journal long enough, you've probably heard it. The basic premise is that all writers have to be somewhat crazy for it to work. After all, they lead double lives and carry the memories of both themselves and their characters. Writing is almost a case of MPD in a way. At least that's when it's most fun.

Speaking of fun, I got bored with the pickings of ffnet (after having a strange craving for Takouji -- I want to watch Frontier again -- and Gundam last night) and headed over to the big boy's archive on adultffnet. While I expected it to be extremely disappointing, remembering my finds of yesteryear, I was pleasant surprised to run into some DELICIOUS offerings. I think I love Eline in all sorts of ways (she gave me EEE threesome fic). And whoever did "The Color Red." Not quite as good as "Weight of the World" but still very very nice.

And then there's this, which is just beautiful beyond words and now my desktop.


ETA: Miracle of miracles. I finally changed my layout. It's only been what a little less than two years.

I cannot find an Axel colorbar. This is a travesty. ;_;

Also trying to watch the new Digimon despite my coming down with a stomach virus. I'm not overly impressed with the art or maybe it's the character designs. Either way, Frontier was prettier. Maybe the kids are too old for me. XD But as long as the characters prove to be interesting, I'll stick with it.

Might have a mini-rant later since someone was going on about how KH was lacking in the character depth and that everyone was just an archtype. I'm going to take a wild guess and say this person has not played my saving grace when it comes to KH defense: Chain of Memories. I will argue Riku breaks away from his archtype status in that one. Also, Roxas? Not an archtype, just poorly characterized by some of the fandom. Dang, now I don't know if I like Roxas more or Riku more since both are equally fan to analyze and come with a cute counterpart. Went on a mass fanart search for pretty KH stuffs today and came back with a few lovelies, one serving as my new desktop. *fawns over Oathkeeper and Oblivion*

So much fangirl crack anime out: Host Club, Princess Princess, Gakuen Heaven. Not sure what to make of all of it.

Sorry to teh posse for not being around last night. Eye and head exploded at the same time.

Work's been going much better now. I'm back into my interviewing groove and when I'm not getting warned not to do stupid things like open certain folders, I'm fitting into the staff. Already wrote two articles. Now if my damn toe would quit irritating my comfy work shoes, I'd be good. I might just take a hacksaw to the thing.

Bought Banana Fish 6 and 7, Yugioh 5 (the one where Kaiba and Yami duel in Death-T), and Legal Drug 3 (probably the last we're going to get). I don't understand why Banana Fish never gets enough love. It deserves it. It manages to take a homocidal gang leader and give him emotional and the ability to break down without it becoming unbelievable. It also does a nice job with subtle slash since I am in denial that Ash and Eiji are just friends. The pictures Yoshida likes to draw that aren't included in the manga say otherwise, and from what I hear so does the epilogue side-story, which I need to track down. Ash and Eiji are probably the second sweetest couple, possibly right under the Haruka/Michiru love. When they are together, they are funny and heart-wrenching. I just love how Ash knows he has to give up Eiji for Eiji's protection but continues to hold onto him for as long as he can because he needs the comfort Eiji provides. Also props to Yoshida for making Eiji older than Ash and still buckle under his rule. It amazes me how the manga can be so rough and raw for a shoujo manga and yet manage to give Ash some shots where he's pure sex. He lives up to his reputation in the manga. I need to find me some color Ash shots. I want to see those deep green wildcat eyes. That and Yut-Lung is a mesmerizing villain.

Brother and I were playing Star Wars with kitties today. Louis ended up being Luke and Nikki of course got pinpointed as Anakin. I think brother was going for Palpatine but he kept trying to lure my kitties over to the Dark Side. I, being the loyal Obi-Wan, wasn't having none of that. So after Louis-Luke freaked out at his coaxing and hightailed it downstairs to Yoda our singing fish, I tried to win back Nikki-Anakin from my evil brother. I promised Nikki-Anakin that the Jedi way promised cookies and she hopped right into my arms. That's right, if you want to lure back your rogue Jedi remember to promise food. Screw that want not, need not blather. Go for the stomach!

Been reading lots of Daiken lately. Might be time to break into another Digimon marathon or track down some later Digimon 02 subs. I want to hear Paku Romi flirt as the Kaiser and as my sweet boy Ken.
