How much of the future are you willing to risk for the sake of the present? If you're a government, the answer is "a lot." Build up a deficit today, and maybe you'll be in good enough shape tomorrow to pay it off. After all, there's a problem now, and the future is such a nebulous thing ( Read more... )

So a little while ago I finally watched my box set of Ergo Proxy. It only took me...two years of owning it to get around to it. That is honestly faster than with some things I own.

Ergo Proxy is set in a future in which most of the earth has been rendered inhabitable, and people now live in domed cities where they are reproduced artificially. ( Read more... )

Another recently completed canon is Puella Magi Madoka Magica! Which means it is time for me to imitate bookelfe again and give you picspam. I will try not to include any major spoilers, which will probably make this post fairly short.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica's creators and marketing team would like you to think it is a nice magical girl show! They ( Read more... )

So I am kind of deeply in love with Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and Sayaka is totally my favorite character, because when you stop a magical fight with a fire extinguisher in episode one and bring a baseball bat to another magical fight in episode two you basically earn my love forever. But this is Madoka Magica, and Sayaka has not had an easy time ( Read more... )

bookelfe knows me well, as demonstrated by her request for, among other things, my top 5 stoic cops! As this is the easiest of the lists that have so far been requested of me, it is the first one I'm putting up! ...I will let the fact that it is easier for me to think about cop characters rather than, say, pairings, speak for itself.

Yeah, I do have better things to post, really. But I saw this on my f-list a bit ago and became curious as to whether I could actually fill it. And well, I'm still just...off. This kind of made be feel better, I suppose. It's also a chance to show off my new Orlando/Sam icon (with art by deviantart's amazing Nanashi, check her out!). Even if I didn ( Read more... )

I kinda can't believe I've actually dropped Orlando at DDD. I mean, the only difference it's really going to make at this point is that I'll stop going "Oh, I should have Orlando tag there later," and feeling guilty when I don't. But playing him was a very important experience for me, it's sad to let it go. I know I'll never have something quite ( Read more... )

1. Post a list of up to 25 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc. that you've had an obsessive fannish love of interest in at some time in your life.
2. Have your f-list guess your favorite character from each item.

1. The Sun Sword
2. His Dark Materials: Lyra, guessed by idgiebay
3. Otherland: Orlando, guessed by lil_duckie3144. The Keys to the Kingdom ( Read more... )

Moved in to my new dorm room, talked to the people around here, attended appropriate meetings, figured out what I need to get at Target first thing tomorrow (towels, for one >.<).

I ought to make a gigantic movie-related post on account of how much I've seen in the past week and a half, but...

I'd rather do this meme I stole from somethingstyx.

1. List your ( Read more... )
