I had a subject line but after staring at JRM below, I am not coherent enough to remember it

Am officially dead now. See why I don’t care about how correct the history in The Tudors is:

Ah yes, the "manga heroines are weak" argument... can I have a link to the article?

A large part of that argument(the times I've seen it) is they don't get that with the culture difference, the fact that a girl who is actually in a position to choose her own life(even when it's a traditional one-married, babies, etc) is almost the equivalent(here) of a woman in the yop of a male dominated field. In general, most mangas(the ones i stick with at least) DO tend to have pushy males, but usually the females are just as pushy.

I was googling for something else entirely. Give me some time to re-locate it. Ugh, annoying write-up :)

[meganbmoore]

Yup. Sadly, there's a lot of that thought. Usually by people who just skim one or two volumes but don't sit down and READ.

We don't even have HBO here but I am now going to fervently search the net to watch that. JRM is so sexy....

If you click on my tudors tag, one of the posts is flocked where I ask for where to find it and there links in replies.

Oh, to hell with the beheadings, I'd do him anyway.

I see Henry was a fan of body wax and romance novel covers. You see, I was originally in on this thing for Henry Cavill, who is hot, and I have rarely been all for JRM. Alas, now that JRM has gotten a bit more masculine looking and gained a six pack (I nearly typed sex pack, how Freudian) I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers any longer.

I remember that episode of Family Guy and the "click, bloody click, PANCAKES". Hee.

ROFL. And all the women of the Merrie England used to shave their legs, too. :)

Re: JRM. Exactly. He was a bit too sknny and effeminate looking for me to find him really hot but now...whoa.

And gosh, I love Family Guy.

OMG. You're right. JRM looks HOT there ^^ I've only watched 1 movie of his -- something along the lines of tennis, I think. Hot :D

LOL, re: Angeline Jolie. Have you read the news about Elizabeth Hurley having a Bollywood wedding? :D Looks so freakin' lavish.

P.S. Signs the Apocalypse is near: when on the train home you are puzzling over whether the man and woman next to you are a couple or father and daughter and at the end of almost twenty minutes are still unsure. Ugh.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

[dangermousie]

Bolly wedding? Whoa. Would be neat to see pics.

Dang! Henry VIII WISHES he looks like that :O.

(Instead of being a fat guy with syphilis.)
