under the sod & the dew
I don't see many motherfucking snakes.
Not that I blame you. Everyone I know who went to see it said it was even worse than we had suspected it would be, and, more disappointingly, that it was incredibly boring. I release you from all your snake-related obligations, f-list. Not that many of you appeared to feel obligated. All that drama for nothing. Rats! Snakes?
Motherfucking snakes?
I've been redecorating. I'll take another picture once I get curtains up. I'm too tired to do comments today, but I'll do them all tomorrow, because I love you and I trust you. I never meant to make you cry.
I'm loving TRC 126! Loving it! Kind of a let-down with the plot, but about what chapter of Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE could that not be said? I loved the Fay longtimes. That's not the kind of reaction I would be expecting from a character who had recently joined the serried, bloodied ranks of the disconsolate undead, but it was still Fay, so it I was happy. He kind of looked a little like they were trying to take him to the vet. Or put him in someone's carryon. Just a thought. Watching Kurogane cradle him like a child made me go all happy in my tummy, even though that didn't used to be my OTP. And Fuuma! I don't like Fuuma, so I don't care much, but maybe if he shows up, the handful of intelligent CLAMP fans who liked him in X/1999 will return and raise the average TRC Fan I.Q. by a few points. So, good show all around.
Speaking of which, how much am I loving Code Ass? A whole lot! When speaking about this series, I have decided to leave out the superfluous "ge-" prefix in the title's second term, in order to more appropriately describe what will be happening in the show, as is recommended by many prominent linguists. As this appears to be a gundam-based series, it will either be gay like new Easter bonnets in springtime, or we fangirls will make it that way by force of will. We have done it before. We will do it again. To that end, I would like to announce that I have my phaser set to Fansite in preparation for this guy:
If that is, in fact, actually a guy.
This is how I wanted Tsubasa Chronicle to look! WHINE. To all those fans who said CLAMP's new, modern style was impossible to animate, I say: NEENER NEENER NEENER. If it had even just looked like this, I might've been able to partially overlook the ear-slaying awful wretched music. Sometimes. On weeknights. Maybe!
Anyway. I finished The Count of Monte Cristo about two months ago. It was wonderful! I guess that's why they call those "classics." It ended much differently than I thought it would, given the wind-up, and it ended up making Gankutsuou look a bit better in hindsight, too. I want to write about both of them, but I'm still chewing the story over. Also, I have nine reviews to write before I get to it. It's a truly fantastic book, though, so if you get the chance to read it, you should. I'll tell you this: If you watched Gankutusou, you might've thought that the enormous amount of time paid to the Count's beautiful flowing hair was just standard jyousei moneyshot anime fanservice. You'd have been wrong! Totally canon. In The Count of Monte Cristo, there is no event so calamitous, no dialogue so dramatic, no turn of fortune so spectacularly unexpected, that Dumas cannot take time out of the narrative to describe the Count's long, gorgeous, shining, sweet-smelling, glorious, magnificent, soft, and perfect hair. Honest! Classic.
