sub_dividedI walked home today to find a dozen mochi plus a honey cake sitting innocently (but mysteriously) on the front porch. They're from an Asian bakery on Route 27 -- the box is extremely attractive -- and there's no note, so I have no idea why they were delivered.
While I have your attention, downloads!
•Yukikaze/Gradius AMV
Another thing that appeared mysteriously, this time in my music folder. I must have downloaded this while on an NMHK kick, but not watched it since I didn't know the series -- and now that I do know it's pretty funny how un-Yukikaze-like this is.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
falxumbra is probably right when she says that the editor was only looking for high-quality dogfight footage, and didn't care which show he got it from. Great video, though.
•The Pirates of Darkwater Comic
This is from the late eighties/early nineties, and it's awful. Worse than the G.I. Joe comics. Re-tells the first six or so episodes of the television series, minus the humor and plus gross anatomical errors like in this closeup of Ren:
Ewwwww. Now I'm all nostalgic; anyone know where I can get the television series?
Speaking of Pirates, I started reading One Piece yesterday! So far I'm not impressed, and whenever I ask someone (meaning, again,falxumbra) what's so great about this series, I get an avoidant answer. But that's okay, because I also hear it only gets better, and if I had to explain what makes Hunter x Hunter so great I probably wouldn't be able to either.
New layout! Now that Passover has come and gone, I figured it was time to ditch the winter colors. The new colorscheme is not particularly spring-like, but it's pretty and I like it.
Edit: mochi = boring. I knew they wouldn't be very sweet, but at least an interesting filling or...I don't know, something.
