Only two more days till the weekend! Yay! I spent all of Labor Day watching videos. I initially tried to watch the ROD TV show and had to give up after one and a half episodes because all the main characters made me want to spork them. My god, so irritating. I was told it was a good series, too. To cleanse my mind I watched Pride and Prejudice (the ( Read more... )

I finished Request. Oh boy, I'm so glad I picked it up again. I love love love the end of the main story, and I adore the side story.

I was reading the next Fujimi book Request but as it was kind of painful, I lost to temptation and read my single favorite volume in the series (so far), Kareinaru fukushuu, from waaaay ahead in the series. I love that book so much. ♥ Also, the art is so much better since the artist changed at some point. I find the original art distinctive but ( Read more... )

RL Wank: Magazine plagiarizes woman on internet and tells her that she should pay them when she complains. I first heard it on On the Media and the way the email from the magazine editor is read out loud is priceless, as is the song using the email as lyrics. Original LJ post by the victim here. I'm fighting the urge to look for more posts and ( Read more... )

Just finished Unmei wa kaku tobira wo tataku....

Via seperis: Entirely Covered in Your Invisible Name by wordstrings is an awesome Sherlock fic that is a great example of fanworks that can get a person to want to consume the original work. Because now I want to watch the original work much much more than I'd previously wanted to (see, previously I sort of wanted to watch it, now I totally do want to watch it). I ( Read more... )

♥ From McSweeney's GREAT LITERATURE RETITLED TO BOOST WEBSITE TRAFFIC.: 7 Awesome Ways Barnyard Animals Are Like Communism

♥ I recently learned that there's a spin-off of the wonderful Suiyoubi no akumu by Yakou Hana and illustrated by Inariya Fusanosuke, Kinyoubi no kyoumu. I generally dislike spin-offs (I tend to get too attached to the original ( Read more... )

I reread Persuasion again in hard copy and loved the conversation between Harville and Anne regarding women and men. Though I don't have an opinion on which sex has longer lasting affections, I thought Anne made excellent points that I could totally agree with. ( some quotes from the book )

I've been having a hard time getting through the Fujimi book Sunset, Sunrise (God, what volume am I at now? it's so confusing...). It's painful to read because Yuki (and others) struggles a lot in it. I know it'll pay off but it's still hard because I care about the characters. I've been skipping around the volume and have probably read most of it ( Read more... )

I spent some time on Youtube after coming randomly coming across a fabulous live performance of Berlin's "Take My Breath Away." I then ended up at Sarah Brightman's live performance of her song "You Take My Breath Away." And finally at Japanese singer KOKIA's "Time to Say Goodbye."I skipped the side story about Kei and Takane first meeting and ( Read more... )
