With the relatives...

So I've been back home for *counts on fingers* three days now. It alternates between 'not-as bad as I was fearing' and 'much worse.'
I'll give highlights:

Saturday: Entirely wedding day. On one hand very cool--since my family consists mostly of musicians, a lot of them got together to do all the actual walking-down-the-isle music. It felt

Omg, ringwraith. I support this endeavor :D

[saeru]

OMG I know. o.o Why are they so sexy? I apparently have some sort of wraith fetish. x-x Something about immortal beings that are cold and powerful and have this weird powerplay with a dark demigod and all sort of read each other's thoughts? Mmmmm.

I know, right? Ringwraiths aren't QUITE my thing but I know exactly what you mean...

Speaking of meditations on immortality...
1. Have you ever seen Blade Runner?
and 2. Have you ever seen Mononoke? Not the one with the princess; this one has a wandering medicine seller and art by Yoshitaka Amano.

[saeru]

Have seen Blade Runner, yes. It is...wonderfully deep in unexpected ways. But I have not seen this Mononoke that you speak of...
Have you been meditating on immortality of late? Because I have also been...

(You should do a middle earth costume, too. *mental brainwash waves*)

can I be Eowyn and all "rar I am not a man!"
oh wait I don't sew :\ or have chainmail for that matter

Yes, I have. It's something that's usually at the forefront of my mind ;)

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v807445kXMjwCRS That is episode one of Mononoke. there are 12 episodes, so it's very short, not a very huge time investment.

http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1247313NtwYnnkc And this is episode 9 of Ayakashi, which stars the same character (and actually introduces him; he first appeared in Ayakashi but people liked him so much that he got his own spinoff series)

I think you'll like him a lot ^_^ Me? I really want to cosplay him, but making kimonos :< I swore after doing Kenshin I'd never do it again. But... oh, so pretty...

[teal_deer]

oh I think it might be Ayakashi episodes 9, 10, and 11? Hmm. Well I guess watch until the story arc is done XD
