I miss being an anime geek. I miss hanging out in the anime aisles in Suncoast, when we had a Suncoast, looking through the VHS series and trying to figure out which I wanted to buy next. I miss buying DVDs online, regular and fansubbed in Hong Kong, and watching through some subpar subtitles and loving everything despite that. I miss dressing up ( Read more... )

In recent news, I can justify buying myself either Princess Tutu or ridiculously expensive, but quite delicious, chocolate as a birthday present for myself. I just can't decide. Help me?

After re-watching Gundam Wing, I realize that the show is packed with female characters that would make for my ideal anime series: each of the women are strong in their own ways, they are all distinctly unique and have personalities as people and not just 'female characters', and they are all immensely likable for what they are ( Read more... )

I really like to doctor my scrambled eggs. Now, let me tell you, I am a big fan of scrambled eggs, and have been for a very long time. I like mine wet, so it pains me to cook them for my mom- she likes them so dry that they make squeaky noises when they're cooking in the pan.

The entire main cast is love. Maka is love cubed, and someday I am sure I will fangirl all over her mom. Who may or may not be Shibusen's answer to Carmen Sandiago ( Read more... )

I was skimming around the internet yesterday when I found this:

AND IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE. ART love. Watching this is like watching porn for the artist's eyes. I love how they animate the flowing fabric, the movement of her hair, her expressions. The fight scenes are so graceful and gorgeous! I love the style and character designs, especially ( Read more... )

Post-Utena rewatch, and all I can think of is The Sunlit Garden, playing over and over in my head. It probably didn't help that tonight was an especially active night on the Ohtori RP thread. Oh, Utena. Oh, Sunlit Garden. I'd learn piano just to play you.

Anyone have any shout-outs for which episode they want to see me meta first?

I have this to say: IHOP's banana caramel cheesecake whatevers are pure, orgasmic, joyous glee encased in a crispy pastry shell and drenched in caramel sauce and banana pieces. I have found a new rich, sweet foodstuff to moon about. Ah, cheesecake ( Read more... )
