Yeah, I'm still alive. Been busy:

- fangirling over Byakuya
- meeting up with friends with complicated romantic entanglements (the shipping hexagon of doom does happen in real life!)
- watching Beowulf (oh, Neil Gaiman, I love you -- did you write in all the butt naked fighting scenes?)
- reading my latest acquisition, Umberto Eco's On Ugliness -

I haven't had a chance to see Beowulf yet, but I've heard it may be a satire and that would be up my alley

Nope. Looks like I posted the gossip one at BA. Here's a new one in its place...Probably:

Stephen King is a freak of nature

Beowulf is not much of a satire. It would still be up your alley, mainly because Angelina Jolie is one hot naked chick, covered in gold and wearing heels. Hell, she's up my alley.

Real life is important? *puzzled* Real life is a matter of perspective, sweetie.

Hokay, I finally went to see Beowulf, and it was totally awesome.

And it's what I would call a satire, too. The movie always seemed to be subtly--and not so subtly--mocking Beowulf's heroism, and showed how his legend quickly became exaggerated. The movie cleverly strips away his accolades, in addition to stripping away his clothes.

Furthermore, Angelina was hot.

It's hard to sneak one past me, I get my email notifications unlike Debbie

I find it weird (but still hot) that you talk about girls' hotness all the time. I'm not that much of a fan of Byakuya (Kenpachi is my favorite captain by a large margin), so I guess you shouldn't be bothered.
