Things I Dearly Want To Know

Oct 25, 2009 17:43

Why exactly is there a skeleton figure skating on my tv right now? Like, okay, I get that Halloween is next week. But...it's next week. And since when are there Halloween-themed figure skating shows with costumes? And a live band, a really cheesey live band ( Read more... )

wtf?, yankees, tv, books, anime, hetalia, baseball

*LOL* I'm so sorry, Shannon! I take it that you watched and/or read some Hetalia? I told you it was the most awesome anime/manga I have come across in a long time. So, who's your favorite so far?
Btw, check out England's song, Pub and Go. Its so damn funny. Also, if you get any figures, I will steal them. I also want the plushies. A plush England would complete me.
Sorry for enabling!:P

I've watched like 3 of the episodes, and read like 2 of the strips and I mean, yeah it's crack love and I'm sucked in.

I'm still too new into it to have favorite-favorites but France cracked me up and, well, Italy is Italy. I'm sure I'll end up loving everyone soon.

I've read almost every strip and seen the first 39 episodes, and, yeah, I love everyone. My favorites went from Germany to Austria, and now its England. But since I've gone through almost everything, he'll probably stay my favorite. Besides, I have a weakness for ex-pirate/delinquents who are depressed about being a fallen empire and who have issues with abandonment (see the American Revolution) and who see fantasy creatures.
And, yes, Northern Italy is too stinking cute for his own good. Also, anything with Ramano Italy (Southern Italy) and Spain is also crack. I love them!

I'm having to youtube to find all the episodes, so it's taking a bit longer. I plan to get caught up this weekend, minus the world series watching.

Okay, so Italy is split in two. I wondered about that, b/c I saw the two mini-Italies in one of the eps, but then there was no mention of the other and then it's been nothing but like the one, Northern, Italy and yeah, confused. Are there like, really clear character charts anywhere. I need to do more poking around that Hetalia site you pointed me to.

Cowbells. It needs more cowbells.

I just saw them advertising that! I was like "really Nancy? Really?" Lol! That proves it - we're both evil and weird.

Yay, A Game of Thrones *squee*
I finished Fool Moon in The Dresden Files series on Saturday. I like this series - definitely continuing with it :D

My friend forced me to watch Hetalia - I think that's the last anime I've seen. Surprisingly good - I love when Rome pops up to sing ^_^

Everyone needs more cowbells! :) Don't Fear the Reaper is my current ring-tone and I am the proud owner of a "Needs More Cowbell!" pin.

We're not evil and weird. We just have taste.

Yay for Dresden Files. As I said, the first person pov kind of throws me off, but I love the humor, and the feel of Chicago you get, and all the characters. I'm still three books behind in the series. I have them, I just need to sit down and read them, but I tend to read Dresden Files in the Winter for some odd reason.

Ways to hook me into an anime or manga 101: Be nothing but crack. Also, have cute animals. Needless to say, I'm hooked on Hetalia now, though Saiyuiki, esp. Saiyuki Gaiden, will always be my all time fav story/art/character wise.
