Minor MariMite epiphany
I don't know if all you Maria-Sama ga Miteru fans are keeping up with the manga scanlations done by Lililicious or not but I am and sometimes things come up in the manga that clarify things in the anime -- which isn't suprising, since the anime has the most condensed version of the content of the original novels. Anyway -- I'm reading the second chapter of the third manga, Ibara no Imori, which covers season one episodes 10 and 11 ("Forest of Thorns" and "White Petals").
The epiphany?
I never understood in the anime why everyone assumed the author of "Forest of Thorns" was Sei when the only thing in common was their first names - at least, to me. Rosa Gigantea's name is Satou Sei. The author is Suga Sei. No one KNOWS Sei's past except for the other members of the Yamayurikai, who definetly never leaked that information. So how in the WORLD did anyone jump to the conclusion that Sei wrote the novel?
Thank you Yumi, Yoshino, Sachiko, and Rei. As is explained in this chapter, "Suga" is the Japanese pronunciation for "sugar". Sei's family name, "Satou", is a homonym for the Japanese word for "sugar"~! *smacks forhead* GAHHH! I suppose if you knew some Japanese food nouns you may of known this, but we clueless English-Only otaku are left to drift on cluelessly.
I just love it when I discover little details like this, though, that makes a story *that* much more intricate. :D

In other news, it is snowing real hard here. *looks out the window*. Okay, it was snowing real hard here. Went from brown and ice to a few inches of snow (on ice). Cassandra and Morgan stayed the night and are staying again tonight. We watched "Rent" this morning. I wish I could get them to watch "Hedwig & the Angry Inch". Spent the rest of the day battling a real bad headache (which I still have) and fighting sleepyness, which I took a nap for. Now I'm awake, I'd like to paint, except that it's almost 9pm and I dont want to be up late washing brushes. I kind of wish no one was here. When I don't feel good I like to either be completely alone or with my partner, if I have one. *collapses* I WILL feel good tomorrow.
Hex season 2, episode 1
I finally got to watch an episode the other day. Cassie's attitude toward people, particularly Thelma, is really starting to piss me off. But it was doing that first season, too, so no suprise there. But WTF is up with the necrophilia? Or does it not count since Thelma is dead? Was that corpse smiling when the morgue watchman looked at it? Hmm... Also, that nephalim incident at the end was very reminiscent of the whole Gabrielle/Hope/the Destroyer family structure from Xena, don'tcha think? I wonder what else this season has up its sleeves -- particularly from the vague comments thenewhope and hallalundi have made. ;)
