Kyoto Taika Hen review (sortof)

Dec 27, 2014 | Personal Journal Entries | 0 comments

It’s difficult to give a coherent overall impression of this movie, since it’s only telling half a story, so this is more a series of thoughts on various scenes and characters than a complete review. But at least let me start out by saying that this is a...

Things I love (i.e. more thoughts on 2012 RK movie)

Jan 24, 2013 | Personal Journal Entries | 2 comments

No, I’m not done freaking out yet. I love that the music at the very beginning is barely audible over the sounds of battle. It gets louder soon enough, but just at first it’s a wonderful way to emphasize the horrors of war even over the drama that can also...

Relatively complete 2012 Rurouni Kenshin review-type-thing

Jan 11, 2013 | Personal Journal Entries | 2 comments

Guys. You guys. I don’t know what. There are no words. The 2012 Rurouni Kenshin movie is FUCKING FANTASTIC. I really was planning on watching it two or three times before I wrote down my thoughts about it, but not only have my parents usurped the TV at the...

SHARED ITS MAGIC WITH ME

Jan 9, 2012 | Personal Journal Entries | 9 comments

I don’t understand why every time a musical gets a movie version, it seems to be the movie-makers’ goal to cram as many big names into the production as possible. I’m not saying that the result is never good, but that it’s extremely worrisome...

Photo meme day 15, awesome Craigslist posting (Alexx)

Nov 15, 2010 | Personal Journal Entries | 2 comments

15. A photo of you and someone you love. This picture is six years old (I just typo’d that as “this picture is sex,” a Freudian slip hailing not all that far from the surface of my thoughts OH SAITOU), and I’m unsure as to what I’m doing...

Toilet seats, dude, sick, book meme

Jan 23, 2009 | Personal Journal Entries | 2 comments

Lately I’ve been supremely bothered by freezing cold toilet seats, but heated toilet seats are mind-bogglingly expensive. Yesterday some guy greeted me, “Dude,” and then apologized when he realized I was female. Today I do not feel at all well, and...

Lester just linked me to a website that lets you create ringtones out of MP3’s and have them sent to your phone for free, in case you have a crappy phone wisout an MP3 player (which I do). So. My phone now chants, “ahou, ahou, ahou, ahou, ahou, ahou,...

Doujinshi report

Oct 29, 2007 | Personal Journal Entries | 10 comments

I think I’ve actually gotten, like, ten doujinshi since my last doujinshi report. But the only one I’m going to tell about at this time is a Hiko x Saitou I just got whose title I can’t read because it’s freaking handwritten and handwritten...
